SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
(Unaudited)
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 September 30, 2019, the Company had
not yet commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial
public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, identifying a target company for a Business
Combination and the proposed acquisition of Glory Star New Media Group Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Glory
Star”) (see Note 6).
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 September 30, 2019, $47,270 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).

TKK SYMPHONY ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
(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 September 30, 2019, the Company had $47,270 in its operating bank accounts, $256,286,247 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 $80,945.
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. On September 6, 2019, the Company issued the Sponsor an unsecured promissory note in
a principal amount of up to $1,100,000 (the “Note”) for working capital loans made or to be made by the Sponsor. The
Note replaced the above commitments provided by the Sponsor. Up to $1,000,000 of the loans under the Note may be converted into
warrants. As of September 30, 2019, there was $850,000 outstanding under the Note.
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 nine months ended September 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
SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
(Unaudited)
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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust
Account
At September 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 September 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 September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 September 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.

NOTE 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred $45,000 and $135,000
in fees for these services. For each of the three months ended September 30, 2018 and for the period from February 5, 2018 (inception)
through September 30, 2018, the Company incurred $22,500 in fees for these services. At September 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.
On September 6, 2019, the Company issued
the Sponsor an unsecured promissory note in a principal amount of up to $1,100,000 (the “Note”) for working capital
loans made or to be made by the Sponsor, pursuant to which $350,000 of previously provided advances were converted into loans
under the Note. The Note bears no interest and is due on the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii)
the liquidation of the Company. Up to $1,000,000 of the loans under the Note may be converted into warrants, each warrant entitles
the holders to receive one half of one ordinary share, at $0.50 per warrant. In September 2019, the Company received an additional
$500,000 under the Note, bringing the total outstanding balance due under the Note as of September 30, 2019 to an aggregate of
$850,000.
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.

Republic of China (“PRC”) and indirectly wholly-owned by Glory Star, Xing Cui Can International Media (Beijing) Co.,
Ltd., a limited liability company incorporated in the PRC (“Xing Cui Can”), Horgos Glory Star Media Co., Ltd., a limited
liability company incorporated in the PRC (“Horgos,” and collectively with Xing Cui Can, the “VIEs”, and
the VIEs, the WFOE and Glory Star, collectively, the “Glory Star Parties”, and the Glory Star Parties collectively
with their respective subsidiaries, the “Glory Star Group”), each of Glory Star’s shareholders (collectively,
the “Sellers”), the Sponsor, in the capacity as the representative from and after the closing of the Transactions (as
defined below) (the “Closing”) for the Company’s shareholders other than the Sellers (the “Purchaser Representative”),
and Zhang Bing, in the capacity as the representative for the Sellers thereunder (the “Seller Representative”). Pursuant
to the Share Exchange Agreement, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, the Company will
effect an acquisition of the Glory Star Group, which primarily conducts its business through the WFOE and the VIEs, by acquiring
from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Glory Star (together with the other transactions contemplated
by the Share Exchange Agreement, the “Transactions”).
Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement,
in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Glory Star, the Company will issue to the Sellers a number of the Company’s
ordinary shares (the “Exchange Shares”) equal in value to US$425 million, with the Company’s ordinary shares
valued at a price per share equal to the price per share at which each of the Company’s ordinary share is redeemed or converted
pursuant to the redemption by the Company of its public shareholders in connection with the Company’s Business Combination,
as required by its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Redemption”).
After the Closing, the Sellers will have
the contingent right to receive up to 10,000,000 shares in additional consideration from the Company based on the performance of the Company and its subsidiaries
(including the Glory Star Group) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Earnout Year”) and the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Earnout Year”).
The Transactions will be consummated subject
to the deliverables and provisions as further described in the Share Exchange Agreement.
NOTE 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 September 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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were 7,028,547 and 6,896,324 ordinary
shares issued and outstanding, excluding 24,421,453 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.

(Unaudited)
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.

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,

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 September 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 Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and 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 Quarterly Report including, without limitation, statements
in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the
Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking

Recent Developments
On September 6, 2019, we entered into a
Share Exchange Agreement with Glory Star, pursuant to which we will issue to the Sellers a number of Exchange Shares equal in value
to US$425 million. See Note 6 to Item 1 above for a description of the Share Exchange Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby.
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 September 30, 2019 were organizational
activities, those necessary to consummate the Initial Public Offering, described below, identifying a target company for a Business
Combination and the proposed acquisition of Glory Star. 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 September 30,
2019, we had net income of $552,308, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,365,513,
offset by an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $122,750 and operating costs of $690,455.
For the nine months ended September 30,
2019, we had net income of $2,966,101, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of
$4,423,040, offset by an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $22,898 and operating costs of $1,434,041.
For the three months ended September 30,
2018 and for the period from February 5, 2018 (inception) through September 30, 2018, we had net income of $371,210 and $331,351,
respectively, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account $588,938, offset by operating
costs of $64,359 and $104,218, respectively, and an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account $153,369.
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 nine months ended September 30,
2019, cash used in operating activities was $1,209,724. Net income of $2,966,101 was affected by interest earned on marketable
securities held in the Trust Account of $4,423,040, an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $22,898
and changes in our operating assets and liabilities, which provided $224,317 of cash from operating activities.
For the period from February 5, 2018 (inception)
through September 30, 2018, cash used in operating activities was $129,006. Net income of $331,351 was impacted by interest earned
on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $588,938, an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account
of $153,369 and changes in our operating assets and liabilities, which used $24,788 of cash from operating activities.
As of September 30, 2019, we had marketable
securities held in the Trust Account of $256,286,247 (including approximately $6,286,000 of interest income, net of unrealized
losses) 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 September 30, 2019, we did not withdraw any funds from the interest earned on the Trust
Account.
16
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 September 30, 2019, we had cash of
$47,270 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.
On September 6, 2019, we issued the Sponsor
an unsecured promissory note in a principal amount of up to $1,100,000 (the “Note”) for working capital loans made
or to be made by the Sponsor, pursuant to which $350,000 of previously provided advances were converted into loans under the Note.
The Note bears no interest and is due on the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) our liquidation.
Up to $1,000,000 of the loans under the Note may be converted into warrants, each warrant entitles the holders to receive one
half of one ordinary share, at $0.50 per warrant. In September 2019, the Company received an additional $500,000 under the Note,
bringing the total outstanding balance due under the Note as of September 30, 2019 to an aggregate of $850,000.
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 September 30, 2019, we had $47,270
in our operating bank accounts, $256,286,247 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 $80,945. In addition, in February
2019, our Sponsor committed to provide us an aggregate of $300,000 in loans and in April 2019, our Sponsor committed to provide
us an additional aggregate amount of $300,000 in loans. On September 6, 2019, we issued our Sponsor an unsecured promissory note
in a principal amount of up to $1,100,000 for working capital loans made or to be made by our Sponsor. The Note replaced the above
commitments provided by the Sponsor. Up to $1,000,000 of the loans under the Note may be converted into warrants. As of September
30, 2019, there was $850,000 outstanding under the Note. 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 September 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.
