NOTE
1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
TKK
Symphony Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February
5, 2018. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase,
recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Business
Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business
Combination. However, the Company believes it is particularly well-positioned to capitalize on growing opportunities created by
consumer/lifestyle assets that may have particular application for the People’s Republic of China market.
At
June 30, 2019, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2019 relates to the Company’s
formation, its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and identifying a target
company for a Business Combination.
The
registration statements for the Company’s Initial Public Offering were declared effective on August 15, 2018. On August
20, 2018, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 22,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the
ordinary shares included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”), generating total gross proceeds of $220,000,000,
which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 11,800,000 warrants (the
“Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $0.50 per warrant in a private placement to Symphony Holdings Limited,
generating total gross proceeds of $5,900,000, which is described in Note 4.
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 20, 2018, an amount of $220,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds
of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account
(“Trust Account”) which may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16)
of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less
or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions
of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business
Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
On
August 22, 2018, in connection with the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company consummated
the sale of an additional 3,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit and the sale of an additional 1,200,000 Private Placement Warrants
$0.50 per Private Placement Warrants, generating total gross proceeds of $30,600,000. A total of $30,000,000 of the net proceeds
were deposited in the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $250,000,000.
Transaction
costs amounted to $5,744,938, consisting of $5,000,000 of underwriting fees and $744,938 of offering costs. As of June 30, 2019,
$141,069 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes.
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public
Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied
generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more
target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding
taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination.
The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of
the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not
to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will
be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
The
Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion
of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii)
by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or
conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their
Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account ($10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest
earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations).

(Unaudited)
The
Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation
of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted
in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder
vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association,
offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file
tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior
to completing a Business Combination.
TKK
Symphony Sponsor 1 (the “Sponsor”) and the other initial shareholders (collectively, the “Initial Shareholders”)
have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial
Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination; (b) 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 the Company’s pre-Business Combination activities
prior to the consummation of a Business Combination unless the Company provides dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity
to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment; (c) to waive the right to receive potential extension warrants
for any Founder Shares in connection with an extension of the period of time for the Company to consummate a Business Combination,
as described in the following paragraph; (d) not to convert any Founder Shares (as well as any Public Shares purchased during
or after the Initial Public Offering) into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote
to approve a Business Combination (or sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination if the Company
does not seek shareholder approval in connection therewith) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity and (e) that the Founder
Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However,
the Initial Shareholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares
purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination.
The
Company has until February 20, 2020 to consummate a Business Combination. However, if the Company anticipates that it may not
be able to consummate a Business Combination by February 20, 2020, the Company may, by resolution of the Company’s Board
of Directors, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination for no more than four months (the “Combination
Period”). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, the Company must issue
to the holders of record of its Public Shares on February 20, 2020 one warrant to purchase one-half of one ordinary per share
for an aggregate of up to 25,000,000 warrants.
If
the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, it will trigger the automatic winding
up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.
If the Company is forced to liquidate, the amount in the Trust Account (less the aggregate nominal par value of the shares of
the Company’s public shareholders) under the Companies Law (2018 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the “Companies Law”)
will be treated as share premium which is distributable under the Companies Law provided that immediately following the date on
which the proposed distribution is proposed to be made, the Company is able to pay the debts as they fall due in the ordinary
course of business. If the Company is forced to liquidate the Trust Account, the public shareholders would be distributed the
amount in the Trust Account calculated as of the date that is two days prior to the distribution (including any accrued interest,
net of taxes payable).
In
order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, TKK Capital Holding, an affiliate of the Sponsor, has agreed to be liable
to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective
target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account
to below $10.00 per share. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of
any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s
indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable
against a third party, TKK Capital Holding will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims.
The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that TKK Capital Holding will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims
of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which
the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to
monies held in the Trust Account.

Liquidity
The
Company has principally financed its operations from inception using proceeds from the sale of its equity securities to its shareholders
prior to the Initial Public Offering and such amount of proceeds from the Initial Public Offering that were placed in an account
outside of the Trust Account for working capital purposes. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $141,069 in its operating bank
accounts, $255,043,484 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem
its ordinary shares in connection therewith and a working capital deficit of $240,490. In February 2019, the Sponsor committed
to provide an aggregate of $300,000 in loans to the Company and in April 2019, the Sponsor committed to provide an additional
aggregate amount of $300,000 in loans to the Company. The loans, as well as any future loans that may be made by the Company’s
Sponsor (or its affiliates), will be evidenced by notes and will only be repaid upon the completion of a Business Combination.
Up to $1,000,000 of the notes may be converted into warrants. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $350,000 outstanding under
the loans. Based on the foregoing, the Company believes it will have sufficient cash to meet its needs through February 20, 2020,
its scheduled liquidation date.
NOTE
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information
or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information
and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion
of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring
nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods
presented.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2018 as filed with the SEC on March 11, 2019, which contains the audited financial
statements and notes thereto. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any future interim periods.
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart
Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting
requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to,
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure
obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements
of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not
previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared
effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised
financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and
comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The
Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and
it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the
new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s
financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which
has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting
standards used.

TKK SYMPHONY ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect
of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered
in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Marketable
Securities Held in Trust Account
At
June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in U.S. Treasury Bills.
Ordinary
Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The
Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory
redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including
ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon
the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other
times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption
rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events.
Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of
the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
Income
Taxes
The
Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset
and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable
or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to
affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized.
ASC
Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement
of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not
to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the
Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued
for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments,
accruals or material deviation from its position.
The
Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements
in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision is zero for the period presented.

Net
Loss per Ordinary Share
Net
loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the
period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
at June 30, 2019, which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation
of basic loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings.
The Company has not considered the effect of (1) warrants sold in the Public Offering and private placement to purchase 19,000,000
ordinary shares and (2) rights sold in the Initial Public Offering that convert into 2,500,000 ordinary shares in the calculation
of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants and the conversion of the rights into ordinary shares are contingent
upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per ordinary share is the same as basic loss per ordinary share
for the periods presented.
Reconciliation
of Net Loss per Ordinary Share
The
Company’s net income (loss) is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption, as these shares only participate in the earnings of the Trust Account and not the income or losses of the Company.
Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per ordinary share is calculated as follows:

Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution
which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the
Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on
such account.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying
condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have
a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant
to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 25,000,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, inclusive of 3,000,000
Units sold to the underwriters on August 22, 2018 upon the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment
option. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, one warrant (“Public Warrant”) and one right (“Public Right”).
Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share
(see Note 7). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share at the closing of a Business Combination
(see Note 7).
NOTE
4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, Symphony Holdings Limited (“Symphony”) purchased an aggregate of
11,800,000 Private Placement Warrants at $0.50 per Private Placement Warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $5,900,000. On
August 22, 2018, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 1,200,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $0.50 per
Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $600,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable to purchase one-half
of one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 5). The proceeds from of the Private Placement
Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used
to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants
will expire worthless. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to
the Private Placement Warrants.
The
Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except
that the Private Placement Warrants (i) are not redeemable by the Company and (ii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless
basis, so long as they are held by the initial purchaser or any of its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants
are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will
be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. In addition, the Private
Placement Warrants may not be transferable, assignable or salable until the consummation of a Business Combination, subject to
certain limited exceptions.
NOTE
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder
Shares
In
March 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,750,000 ordinary shares to the Sponsor (“Founder Shares”) for an
aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On August 15, 2018, the Company effectuated a 1.1-for-1 share dividend resulting in an aggregate
of 6,325,000 Founder Shares outstanding. The 6,325,000 Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 825,000 shares subject to
forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that
the initial shareholders would collectively own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public
Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option to purchase 3,000,000
Units and the waiver of the remainder of their overallotment option, 750,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture
and 75,000 Founder Shares were forfeited.
The
Initial Shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares (except to certain permitted transferees)
until (1) with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares, the earlier of six months after the completion of a Business Combination
and the date on which the closing price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within
any 30-trading day period commencing after a Business Combination and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares,
one year after the completion of a Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a Business Combination,
the Company completes a 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.
Promissory
Note — Related Party
On
March 31, 2018, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to
which the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $299,784. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing and payable
on the earlier of December 31, 2018 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Promissory Note was repaid in full in August
2018.
Advance
from Related Party
TKK
Capital Holding advanced the Company an aggregate of $140,237 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public
Offering. The advance is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. The advances were repaid in full in August 2018.

Administrative
Services Agreement
The
Company entered into an agreement, commencing on August 15, 2018 through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination
or the Company’s liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer a monthly fee of $15,000
for general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and administrative services, which replaced the Company’s
prior arrangement of reimbursing the Sponsor for its office lease. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company
incurred $45,000 and $90,000 in fees for these services. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there are $7,500 in administrative
fees included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
Related
Party Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders, the Company’s officers
and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time, as may
be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Each Working Capital Loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The Working
Capital Loans would either be paid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion,
up to $1,000,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants at a price of $0.50 per warrant. The warrants would
be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a
portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account
would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.
In February 2019, the Sponsor committed to
provide an aggregate of $300,000 in loans to the Company and in April 2019, the Sponsor committed to provide an additional aggregate
amount of $300,000 in loans to the Company. The loans, as well as any future loans that may be made by the Sponsor (or its affiliates),
will be evidenced by notes and would either be repaid upon the consummation of a Business Combination or up to $1,000,000 of the
notes may be converted into warrants at a price of $0.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. As of June 30, 2019 and December
31, 2018, there was $350,000 and $0 outstanding under the loans, which has been recorded as advances from related party in the
accompanying condensed balance sheet.
NOTE
6. COMMITMENTS
Registration
Rights
Pursuant
to a registration rights agreement entered into on August 15, 2018, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants
(and their underlying securities), Representative Shares (as defined in Note 7) and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion
of the Working Capital Loans (and their underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of a majority
of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority
of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on
which these shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Placement Warrants (and underlying
securities) and warrants issued in payment of Working Capital Loans (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration
rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, EarlyBirdCapital,
Inc. (“EarlyBirdCapital”) and/or its designees may only make a demand registration (i) on one occasion and (ii) during
the five year period beginning on the effective date of the registration statements related to the Initial Public Offering. In
addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed
subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing
of any such registration statements.
Business
Combination Marketing Agreement
The
Company has engaged EarlyBirdCapital as an advisor in connection with a Business Combination to assist the Company in locating
target businesses, holding meetings with its shareholders to discuss a potential Business Combination and the target business’
attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing securities, assist the Company in obtaining
shareholder approval for the Business Combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection
with a Business Combination. The Company will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial
Public Offering for such services upon the consummation of a Business Combination (exclusive of any applicable finders’
fees which might become payable). The Company will also pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee equal to 1.0% of the transaction value
if EarlyBirdCapital locates the target business with which the Company consummates a Business Combination.

7. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred
Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 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. At
June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding.
Ordinary
Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders
of the ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were 6,963,686 and
6,896,324 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding 24,486,314 and 24,553,676 ordinary shares to possible redemption,
respectively.
Warrants
— Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional ordinary shares will be issued
upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) the completion of a Business
Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. No Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash
unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of
the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration
statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 90 days from
the consummation of a Business Combination, the holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and
during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise the Public Warrants
on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If an exemption from registration
is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire
five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The
Company may redeem the Public Warrants:
●
in
whole and not in part;
●
at
a price of $0.01 per warrant;
●
at
any time while the Public Warrants are exercisable;
●
upon
not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Public Warrant holder;
●
if,
and only if, the reported last sale price of the Company’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share, for any
20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to the warrant
holders; and
●
if,
and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the ordinary shares underlying such warrants
at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until
the date of redemption.
If
the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise
the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.
The
exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including
in the event of a capitalization of shares, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation.
However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below their exercise price or issuance
of potential extension warrants in connection with an extension of the period of time for the Company to complete a Business Combination.
Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a
Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of
warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s
assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
Rights
— Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a Public
Right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the
holder of a Public Right converted all ordinary shares held by him, her or it in connection with a Business Combination or an
amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with respect to its pre-business
combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of the initial Business
Combination, each holder of a Public Right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive
the one-tenth (1/10) of a share underlying each Public Right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration
will be required to be paid by a holder of Public Rights in order to receive his, her or its additional ordinary shares upon consummation
of a Business Combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held
by affiliates of the Company). If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company
will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of Public Rights to receive the same per
share consideration the holders of ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary shares basis.

The
Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of Public Rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded
down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands law.
As a result, the holders of the Public Rights must hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive shares for all of the holders’
rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination
Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Rights will not receive any of such funds
with respect to their Public Rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the
Trust Account with respect to such Public Rights, and the Public Rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual
penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the Public Rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally,
in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.
Representative
Shares
At
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company issued EarlyBirdCapital (and its designees) 200,000 ordinary shares (the
“Representative Shares”). The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an expense of the Initial Public
Offering, resulting in a charge directly to shareholders’ equity. The Company estimated that the fair value of Representative
Shares was $2,000,000 based upon the offering price of the Units of $10.00 per Unit. EarlyBirdCapital has agreed not to transfer,
assign or sell any such shares until the completion of a Business Combination. In addition, EarlyBirdCapital (and its designees)
has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination
(ii) to waive its right to receive potential extension warrants with respect to such shares in connection with an extension of
the period of time for the Company to consummate a Business Combination, and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions
from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination
Period.
The
Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately
following the effective date of the registration statement related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1)
of FINRA’s NASD Conduct Rules. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging,
short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person
for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related to the Initial Public
Offering, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following
the effective date of the registration statements related to the Initial Public Offering except to any underwriter and selected
dealer participating in the Initial Public Offering and their bona fide officers or partners.
NOTE
8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value
at each reporting period and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The
fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company
would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets
and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and
to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).
The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable
inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1:
Quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which
transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing
basis.
Level 2:
Observable
inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or
liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:
Unobservable
inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The
following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at
June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine
such fair value:

Special
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This

Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this

Overview
We
are a blank check company incorporated on February 5, 2018 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of
effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar Business Combination
with one or more businesses. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, our securities,
debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt in effecting a Business Combination.
The
issuance of additional shares in a Business Combination:
●
may
significantly reduce the equity interest of our shareholders;
●
may
subordinate the rights of holders of ordinary shares if we issue preferred shares with rights senior to those afforded to
our ordinary shares;
●
will
likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our ordinary shares are issued, which may affect, among other
things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and most likely will also result in the resignation
or removal of our present officers and directors; and
●
may
adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities.
Similarly,
if we issue debt securities, it could result in:
●
default
and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a Business Combination are insufficient to pay our debt obligations;
●
acceleration
of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt
security contains covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and we breach any such covenant
without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
●
our
immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; and
●
our
inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing
while the debt security is outstanding;
We
expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to
raise capital or to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Results
of Operations
We
have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from February 5, 2018 (inception)
through March 31, 2019 were organizational activities, those necessary to consummate the Initial Public Offering, described below,
and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the
completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities.
We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance),
as well as for due diligence expenses.
For
the three months ended June 30, 2019, we had net income of $1,156,951, which consists of interest income on marketable securities
held in the Trust Account of $1,502,321 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $137,467,
offset by operating costs of $482,837.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2019, we had net income of $2,413,793, which consists of interest income on marketable securities
held in the Trust Account of $3,057,527 and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $99,852,
offset by operating costs of $743,586.
For
the three months ended June 30, 2018 and for the period from February 5, 2018 (inception) through June 30, 2018, we had net loss
$9,344 and $39,859, which consists of operating costs of $9,344 and $39,859, respectively.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On
August 20 and 22, 2018, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 22,000,000 Units and the sale of an additional 3,000,000
Units pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating
aggregate gross proceeds of $250,000,000. Simultaneously with the closings of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the
additional Units, we consummated the sales of an aggregate of 13,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to Symphony Holdings Limited
at a price of $0.50 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $6,500,000.
In
connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement, a total of $250,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.
We incurred $5,744,938 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $5,000,000 of underwriting fees and $744,938 of other
costs.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash used in operating activities was $615,925. Net income of $2,413,793 was offset by interest
earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $3,057,527, an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our
Trust Account of $99,852 and changes in our operating assets and liabilities, which provided $127,661 of cash from operating activities.
For
the period from February 5, 2018 (inception) through June 30, 2018, cash used in operating activities was $35,898. Net loss of
$39,859 was offset by changes in our operating assets and liabilities, which provided $3,961 of cash from operating activities.
As
of June 30, 2019, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $255,043,484 (including approximately $5,043,000 of
interest income and unrealized gains) consisting of U.S. treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. Interest income on
the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through June 30, 2019, we did not withdraw any funds from the
interest earned on the Trust Account.
We
intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on
the Trust Account to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto, including a cash fee equal
to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of Initial Public Offering payable to the upon consummation of our Business Combination for assisting
us in connection with such Business Combination. To the extent that our ordinary shares are used in whole or in part as consideration
to effect our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended
will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in
a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for
marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses
or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our Business Combination if the funds available to us
outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
As
of June 30, 2019, we had cash of $141,069 held outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust
Account primarily to identify and evaluate prospective acquisition candidates, perform business due diligence on prospective target
businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, review corporate documents
and material agreements of prospective target businesses, select the target business to acquire and structure, negotiate and consummate
a Business Combination.

In
order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the initial
shareholders, the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to (except as described
herein), loan us funds as may be required. In the event that our Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of
the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be
used for such repayment. Up to $1,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $0.50 per warrant at the
option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants issued to our Sponsor. We do not expect
to seek loans from parties other than the initial shareholders, the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates
as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek
access to funds in our Trust Account. In February 2019, the Sponsor committed to provide us an aggregate of $300,000 in loans
and in April 2019, the Sponsor committed to provide us an additional aggregate amount of $300,000 in loans, bringing the total
commitment to an aggregate amount of $600,000. The loans, as well as any future loans that may be made by the Sponsor (or its
affiliates), will be evidenced by notes and would either be repaid upon the consummation of a Business Combination or up to $1,000,000
of the notes may be converted into warrants at a price of $0.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. As of June 30, 2019,
we had $350,000 outstanding under the loans.
We have principally financed our operations
from inception using proceeds from the sale of our equity securities to our shareholders prior to the Initial Public Offering and
such amount of proceeds from the Initial Public Offering that were placed in an account outside of the Trust Account for working
capital purposes. As of June 30, 2019, we had $141,069 in our operating bank accounts, $255,043,484 in securities held in the Trust
Account to be used for a Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem our ordinary shares in connection therewith and a working
capital deficit of $240,490. In addition, in February 2019, our Sponsor committed to provide us an aggregate of $300,000 in loans
and in April 2019, the Sponsor committed to provide us an additional aggregate amount of $300,000 in loans, bringing the total
commitment to an aggregate amount of $600,000. The loans, as well as any future loans that may be made by our Sponsor (or its affiliates),
will be evidenced by notes and would either be repaid upon the consummation of a Business Combination or up to $1,000,000 of the
notes may be converted into warrants. As of June 30, 2019, we had $350,000 outstanding under the loans. Based on the foregoing,
we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our needs through February 20, 2020, our scheduled liquidation date.
Off-balance
sheet financing arrangements
We
have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2019. We do
not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred
to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any
debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual
obligations
We
do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an
agreement to pay an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer a monthly fee of $15,000 for general and administrative services,
including office space, utilities and administrative services provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on August
15, 2018 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our
liquidation.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses
during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical
accounting policies:
Ordinary
shares subject to possible redemption
We
account for our ordinary shares subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption
is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary
shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence
of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are
classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside
of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our condensed balance
sheets.
Net
loss per ordinary share
We
apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption which are not currently
redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic net loss per ordinary share
since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. Our net income is adjusted
for the portion of income that is attributable to ordinary shares subject to redemption, as these shares only participate in the
earnings of the Trust Account and not our income or losses.

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