This report on Form 6-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “target,” “optimistic,” “intend,” “aim,” “will” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include, among others, those concerning our expected financial performance and strategic and operational plans, as well as all assumptions, expectations, predictions, intentions or beliefs about future events. These statements are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by, our management and information currently available to us and reflect our current view concerning future events. As such, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among many others: our status as a development stage company; the reduction of the proceeds held in the trust account due to third party claims; our selection of a prospective target business or asset; our issuance of our capital shares or incurrence of debt to complete a business combination; our ability to consummate an attractive business combination due to our limited resources and the significant competition for business combination opportunities; conflicts of interest of our officers and directors; potential current or future affiliations of our officers and directors with competing businesses; our ability to obtain additional financing if necessary; our initial shareholder, officers’ and directors’ ability to control or influence the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval due to their substantial interest in us; delisting of our securities from the NASDAQ Capital Market or an inability to have our securities listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market following a business combination; the adverse effect the outstanding warrants may have on the market price of our ordinary shares; the adverse effect on the market price of our ordinary shares due to the existence of registration rights with respect to the securities owned by our initial shareholder, officers and directors; the lack of a market for our securities; our being deemed an investment company; our dependence on our key personnel; our dependence on a single company after our business combination; environmental, permitting and other regulatory risks; foreign currency fluctuations and overall political risk in foreign jurisdictions; our operating and capital expenditures; our competitive position; expected results of operations and/or financial position; any of the factors in the “Risk Factors” section of our Registration Statement No. 333-178780; other risks identified in this Report and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. You should also carefully review other reports that we file with the SEC. We assume no obligation, and do not intend, to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
 
Overview
 
We are a blank check British Virgin Islands business company with limited liability formed for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, contractual control arrangement with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses or assets that we have to identify. We have not identified any acquisition target but intend to focus on acquiring operating businesses that have their primary operations located in any of (a) the MERCOSUR countries (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay), (b) associate member countries of the MERCOSUR countries (Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru), (c) Latin America generally or (d) the United States in areas principally serving the Hispanic market.  The NASDAQ Capital Market rules require that our 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 sum of the balance in the trust account (less any deferred corporate finance fees and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination.

We intend to use cash in the trust account from the proceeds of our initial public offering (“Public Offering”) and private placements of warrants (described below), our authorized shares, incurred debt, or a combination of cash, shares and debt, in effecting our initial business combination. However, the ultimate consideration we pay to complete a business combination depends upon the requirements of the target business or asset, and the amount of funds available to us from the trust account following any payments to holders redeeming their ordinary shares. The target’s preference in receiving consideration in the form of cash, stock or a blend of cash and stock may be driven by the target’s desire for working capital, cash in-hand or control of the post-transaction entity. To the extent the value of the target business or asset exceeds the value of the funds held in our trust account, it is likely that we would issue additional authorized shares, incur debt, or a combination of cash, shares and debt to complete such business combination. We cannot assure you whether or not we may issue shares of our capital stock or debt securities to complete a business combination because we have not identified a target business or asset, do not know what industry such ultimate target will be operating in and do not know the amount of funds that will ultimately be available to us to complete our business combination. The issuance of additional shares:

 
may significantly reduce the equity interest of investors in our Public Offering;

 
may subordinate the rights of holders of ordinary shares if we issue preferred shares with rights senior to those afforded to the holders of our ordinary shares;

 
may 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 ordinary shares and/or warrants.

Similarly, if we incur substantial debt, it could result in:

 
default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating cash flow after a business combination is 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 require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and any such covenant is breached 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;

 
covenants that limit our ability to acquire capital assets or make additional acquisitions;

 
our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security is outstanding;

 
our inability to pay dividends on our ordinary shares;

 
using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our ordinary shares if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;
 
 
2

 
 
 
limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

 
increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

 
limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

To the extent we have funds remaining in our trust account following the consummation of a business combination, those funds may be used for any purpose agreed to between us and the target business based upon the needs of the post transaction entity, including but not limited to, working capital, debt repayment or employee compensation.

Results of Operations
 
Through April 30, 2012 (and the date of this filing), our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to our Public Offering, activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities relating to general corporate matters. We have not generated any revenues to date and will not generate any revenues until after we consummate our initial business combination, at the earliest.  We may generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents.  As of April 30, 2012 $40,600,000 was held in the trust account (including $800,000 of the deferred corporate finance fee to be paid to the underwriters of our Public Offering in the event of an initial business combination and $2,450,000 from the sale of the insider warrants) and we had cash outside of the trust account of $29,320 and $86,389 due from an affiliate for advances made to such affiliate to pay Company expenses.  All of the interest income on the balance of the trust account (net of taxes payable) may be available to us to fund our working capital requirements but given the current interest rates, it is doubtful that we will earn a significant amount of interest. The current low interest rate environment may make it more difficult for such investments to generate sufficient funds, together with the amounts available outside the trust account, to locate, conduct due diligence, structure, negotiate and close our business combination. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.   Our chairman, Julio Gutierrez, has agreed to loan us up to an aggregate of $500,000 (or a higher amount at his discretion) to fund our working capital needs prior to our initial business combination. In the event our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the offering proceeds held outside the trust account, if any, to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. In the event our initial business combination is consummated, Mr. Gutierrez, at his option, may convert the loans into warrants of the post business combination entity at $0.75 per warrant.
  
For the three months ended April 30, 2012 and for the period from August 9, 2011 (date of inception) through April 30, 2012, we had a net loss of $53,418 and $63,418, respectively.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
On March 26, 2012, we consummated the Public Offering of 4,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Simultaneously with the consummation of our Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 3,000,000 warrants (“Insider Warrants”) to certain investors (including certain of our officers and directors) at a price of $0.75 per warrant or $2,250,000 in the aggregate and 266,667 warrants (“Underwriter Warrants”) to the underwriters of the Public Offering, at a price of $0.75 per warrant or $200,000.  We received net proceeds from our Public Offering and the sale of the Insider Warrants and Underwriter Warrants of $40,600,000, net of the non-deferred portion of the corporate finance fee of $1.2 million and offering costs and other expenses of approximately $450,000. For a description of the proceeds generated in our Public Offering, we refer you to the section below “Unregistered Sales Of Equity Securities And Use Of Proceeds.”

As of April 30, 2012, we had $29,320 in a bank account available for use by management to cover the costs associated with identifying a target business and negotiating an acquisition or merger, in addition to the up to $500,000 available from Julio Gutierrez, our chairman.
 
Our Public Offering and private placement of warrants to our initial investors and underwriters provided us with $200,000 of working capital after transferring $40,600,000 into the trust account. For the period from August 9, 2011 (date of incorporation) to April 30, 2012 we used cash of $186,080 in operating activities and an amount of $40,815,400 was provided by financing activities.
 
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account (net of taxes) to consummate our initial business combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to consummate our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
   
We believe that the $29,320 held outside the trust account and $86,389 due from an affiliate for advances made to such affiliate to pay Company expenses (as of April 30, 2012) along with the up to $500,000 required to be loaned to us by Julio Gutierrez and the up to 100% of the interest earned on the proceeds placed in the trust account will be sufficient to cover our day-to-day operating expenses (other than expenses relating to the consummation of our business combination) until September 26, 2013.  Such loans from Mr. Gutierrez will not have a claim against the trust account and will not reduce the per-share redemption price to below $10.15.  Such loans will not provide any recourse against the trust account nor pay any interest prior to the consummation of the business combination and be no more favorable than could be obtained by a third party.  Mr. Gutierrez may, at his option, convert such loans into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $0.75 per warrant and would be identical to the insider warrants. The holders of a majority of such warrants (or underlying shares) will be entitled to demand that we register these securities pursuant to an agreement to be entered into at the time of the loan. The holders of a majority of these securities would have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to such date. We will bear the expense incurred with the filing of any such registration statements.
 
Related Party Transactions
 
Commencing on March 26, 2012, we entered into an agreement with BGS Group SA, an affiliate of Mr. Gutierrez, to provide at no cost office space, secretarial, and administrative services. This agreement will expire upon the earlier of: (a) the successful completion of the initial business combination, or (b) the date on which we are dissolved and liquidated.

Mr. Gutierrez,  our chairman,  has agreed to be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement reduce the amounts in the trust account to below $10.15 per share, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, Mr. Gutierrez will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims.

In addition, in the event we are forced to liquidate pursuant to our memorandum and articles of association and do not have sufficient funds from our remaining assets outside of the trust account (which may include up to 100% of the interest earned on the proceeds placed in trust), Mr. Gutierrez has agreed to advance us the funds necessary to pay any and all costs involved or associated with the process of liquidation and the return of the funds in the trust account to our public shareholders and has agreed not to seek repayment for such expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
We do not believe that the adoption of any recently issued accounting standards will have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
The funds held in our trust account may only be invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act and that invest solely in U.S. Treasuries.

RISK FACTORS

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report are any of the risks described in our final prospectus dated March 20, 2012 filed with the SEC. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.
 
As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus dated March 20, 2012 filed with the SEC, except we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
 
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On March 26, 2012, simultaneously with the consummation of the Public Offering, we consummated the private sale of an aggregate of 3,266,667 warrants to certain investors (including certain of our officers and directors) and the underwriters at a price of $0.75 per warrant, generating gross proceeds of $2,450,000 in the aggregate. All of the proceeds we received from the sale of these warrants were placed in the trust account.  This issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) as they were sold to “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales. The warrants sold in the private placement are identical to those warrants sold in the Public Offering except that if held by the initial investors or their permitted transferees they will not be not subject to redemption. In addition, the warrants will be subject to transfer restrictions until 30 days following the consummation of our initial business combination, with the warrants held by the underwriters and/or their assignees subject to certain additional transfer restrictions.

Use of Proceeds from the Public Offering

On March 26, 2012, we consummated the Public Offering of 4,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one ordinary share and one warrant to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The warrants will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after our completion of an initial business combination or March 26, 2014 and will expire five years from the date of the business combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation as described in our final prospectus dated March 20, 2012. The units in the Public Offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $40,000,000.   The securities sold in the Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form F-1 (No. 333-178780), which the SEC declared effective on March 20, 2012.
 
We paid a total of $1.2 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and approximately $450,000 for other costs and expenses related to the Public Offering.   The underwriters for the Public Offering agreed to defer $800,000 in corporate finance fees, which amount will be payable upon consummation of our business combination, if consummated. We also repaid the loans outstanding to Mr. Gutierrez.
 
After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred corporate finance fee of $800,000, which amount will be payable upon consummation of our initial business combination, if consummated) and the Public Offering expenses, the total proceeds from the Public Offering and the private placement of the warrants was $42,450,000 of which $40,600,000 (or approximately $10.15 per unit sold in the Public Offering) was placed in a trust account.  $200,000 was held outside the trust account to be used to fund the Company’s operating expenses.  The proceeds held in the trust account may be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act and that invest solely in U.S. Treasuries.
