unavailable for our use, prior to an initial business combination.
Our liquidity needs have been satisfied
−Removed: to date through receipt of $31,038 from the sale of the insider shares, advances from our Sponsor and an affiliate of our Sponsor
−Removed: in an aggregate amount of $663,009, which were repaid upon our IPO, and the remaining net proceeds from our IPO and Private Placements.

−Removed: note, which will be repaid promptly after the date on which we consummate a business combination.
−Removed: In the event that we are unable
−Removed: to consummate a business combination, as described in the prospectus relating to the IPO, the balance of such note will be forgiven
−Removed: and our Sponsor will not be entitled to any payment thereunder.
−Removed: We intend to use substantially all of the
−Removed: net proceeds of the IPO, including the funds held in the trust account to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our
−Removed: expenses relating thereto, including a cash fee equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO payable to the representative of

−Removed: We anticipate that the approximately $374,955
−Removed: outside of our trust account as of September 30, 2018, will be insufficient to cover our operating costs and our estimated costs
−Removed: of undertaking our initial business combination.
−Removed: If the Company is required to pay these costs prior to the initial business combination
−Removed: closing, then the Company will need to obtain additional financing to consummate our initial business combination.
−Removed: Either in order
−Removed: to raise such additional financing, or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation
−Removed: of our initial business combination, in either case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business
−Removed: Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with
−Removed: the consummation of our initial business combination.
−Removed: Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient,
−Removed: we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations but there is no assurance that new financing will
−Removed: be available to us on commercially acceptable terms.
−Removed: Furthermore, if we are not able to consummate a business combination within
−Removed: 15 months from our IPO, which is approximately three months from the date of this filing, we may exercise our option to extend
−Removed: the timeframe for an additional three months, which would require us to deposit into the trust account $2,063,629 (an additional
−Removed: $0.10 per IPO share), or commence an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation.
−Removed: These conditions raise substantial doubt
−Removed: about our ability to continue as a going concern.
