FINTECH ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2017
(Unaudited)
1.
DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
FinTech
Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”), is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on May 28, 2015. The Company
was formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization
or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets that the Company has not yet identified (a “Business
Combination”). The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated significant revenue to date.
At
June 30, 2017, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity through June 30, 2017 relates to the Company’s
formation and its Initial Public Offering, which is described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination.
The
registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective
on January 19, 2017. On January 25, 2017, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,500,000 units (“Units”
and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), which includes a
partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,200,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating
gross proceeds of $175,000,000, which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 420,000 units (the “Placement Units”)
at a price of $10.00 per Unit in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, FinTech Investors Holding II, LLC (the “Sponsor”),
and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., the representative of the underwriters for the Initial Public Offering (“Cantor”),
generating gross proceeds of $4,200,000, which is described in Note 4.
Transaction
costs amounted to $12,912,088, consisting of $3,060,000 of underwriting fees, $9,190,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable
(which are held in the Trust Account (defined below)) and $662,088 of Initial Public Offering costs. As described in Note 6, the
$9,190,000 deferred underwriting fee payable is contingent upon the consummation of a Business Combination by January 25, 2019.
As described in Note 6, the $25,000 of the deferred legal fees are payable upon the earlier of an initial Business Combination
or liquidation of the Company.
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering on January 25, 2017, an amount of $175,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds
of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”)
and 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 paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3)
and (d)(4) 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, (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem
100% of its Public Shares if it does not complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the consummation of the Initial
Public Offering (the “Combination Period”); or (iii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below, if
the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period or upon any earlier liquidation of the
Company.
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its Initial Public
Offering and Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating
a Business Combination. Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) rules provide that 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 (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of the signing of
a definitive agreement in connection with a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination
if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires a majority 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 stockholders 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 stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii)
by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or
conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem
their 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 for working capital purposes or to pay
its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to public stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be
reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 6). There will
be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. In such case,
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 a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a
stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal
reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant
to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents with
the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, a stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law,
or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares
in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company
seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, Daniel Cohen, Betsy Cohen, DGC Family FinTech
Trust, Swarthmore Trust of 2016, James J. McEntee, III, Shami Patel and Jeremy Kuiper (together the “Initial Stockholders”),
have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Placement Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares
held by them in favor of approving a Business Combination. Cantor has not committed to vote any shares held by it in favor of
a Business Combination.

CORP. II
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
The
Company will have until the expiration of the Combination Period to consummate its Business Combination. If the Company is unable
to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purposes
of winding up of its affairs; (ii) distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any portion
of the interest earned thereon which was not previously used for working capital or to pay dissolution expenses or taxes, pro
rata to the public stockholders by way of redemption of the Public Shares (which redemption would completely extinguish such holders’
rights as stockholders, including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as possible
following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company’s net assets to its remaining stockholders,
as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation.
The
Company will also provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection
with any stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that
would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of Public Shares if it does not complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their 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 for working capital purposes or to pay its tax obligations). There
will be no redemption rights with respect to the Company’s warrants in connection with such a stockholder vote to approve
such an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company may not redeem shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. The Initial Stockholders
have agreed to vote their Founder Shares, Placement Shares and any Public Shares held by them in favor of any such amendment.
The
Initial Stockholders and Cantor have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Placement
Shares (i) in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, (ii) in connection with a stockholder vote to amend
the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s
obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and
(iii) if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period or upon the Company’s liquidation
prior to the expiration of the Combination Period. The Initial Stockholders have also agreed to waive their redemption rights
with respect to Public Shares in connection with a Business Combination and in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the
Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem
100% of its Public Shares if it does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, the Initial Stockholders
will be entitled to redemption rights with respect to any Public Shares held by them if the Company fails to consummate a Business
Combination or liquidates within the Combination Period. Cantor will have the same redemption rights as a public stockholder with
respect to any Public Shares it acquires, however, Cantor has informed the Company that it has no current commitments, plans or
intentions to acquire Public Shares for its own account. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to deferred underwriting
commissions held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within the Combination
Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund
the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual
assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price
per Unit in the Initial Public Offering. Placing funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims
against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other
entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account,
there is no guarantee that such persons will execute such agreements. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer has agreed that
he will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of
target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for service rendered, contracted for or products
sold to the Company. However, he may not be able to satisfy those obligations should they arise.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing redemption rights, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of its Business Combination and it does not conduct
redemptions in connection with its Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other
person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to an aggregate
of 20.0% or more of the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering. However, there is no restriction on the Company’s stockholders’
ability to vote all of their shares for or against a Business Combination.

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 10 of Regulation S-X of the 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 year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the SEC on April 19, 2017, which contains the audited financial statements
and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2016 is derived from the audited financial statements presented
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The interim results for the six months
ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or for
any future interim periods.
The
Company had no activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Accordingly, the condensed statement of operations and
condensed statement of cash flow for the comparative period for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not presented.
Emerging
growth company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (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 stockholder 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.
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 periods.
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 significantly from our 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

(Unaudited)
Cash
and marketable securities held in Trust Account
At
June 30, 2017, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills.
Common
stock subject to possible redemption
The
Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption
(if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including
common stock that features 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) is classified as temporary equity. At all other
times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption
rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events.
Accordingly, at June 30, 2017, 16,127,226 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity,
outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.
Offering
costs
Offering
costs consist principally of legal, accounting and underwriting costs incurred that are directly related to the Initial Public
Offering. Offering costs amounting to $12,912,088 were charged to stockholders’ equity upon completion of the Initial Public
Offering.
Income
taxes
The
Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 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 recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties
as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. 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 may be subject to potential examination by federal, state, and city taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These
potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions,
and compliance with federal, state, and city tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of
unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
The provision for
income taxes was deemed to be immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.
Net
income (loss) per common share
The Company complies
with accounting and disclosure requirements ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (loss) per common share
is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding shares
of common stock forfeited by certain of the Company’s Initial Shareholders on January 25, 2017. Shares of common stock subject
to possible redemption at June 30, 2017 have been excluded from the calculation of basic income 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
warrants to purchase 8,960,000 shares of common stock in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the
warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. Diluted net income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2017
includes the effect of 21,321,280 shares of common stock.
Concentration
of credit risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution
which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily
due to their short-term nature.
Recently
issued accounting standards
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 financial statements.
3.
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On
January 25, 2017, the Company sold 17,500,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, which includes a partial exercise
by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,200,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of
one share of the Company’s common stock and one-half of one whole warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public
Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 (see Note 7). No fractional Public
Warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade.
4.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously
with the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Cantor purchased an aggregate of 420,000 Placement Units (390,000 Placement
Units by the Sponsor and 30,000 Placement Units by Cantor) at a price of $10.00 per Unit (or an aggregate purchase price of $4,200,000)
(see Note 7). Each Placement Unit consists of one share of common stock (“Placement Share”) and one-half of one warrant
(each, a “Placement Warrant”) to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock exercisable at $11.50. The
proceeds from the Placement Units and the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering totaling $175,000,000 are held in the Trust
Account. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Placement
Shares or Placement Warrants.
The
Placement Units and their component securities are the same as the public units and their component securities except that they
may not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the consummation of an initial Business Combination, subject
to certain limited exceptions.
5.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder
Shares
On
May 28, 2015, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,298,333 shares of common stock to the Initial Stockholders (“Founder
Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. In January 2017, the Company issued an additional 701,667 Founder Shares
for an aggregate purchase price of $3,311. As such, total Founder Shares of 6,000,000 included an aggregate of up to 760,000 shares
subject to forfeiture by the Initial Stockholders to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised
in full or in part, so that the Initial Stockholders would collectively own 25% of the Company’s issued and outstanding
shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to exercise their over-allotment option
to purchase 2,200,000 Units on January 25, 2017 and waiver of the remainder of their over-allotment option, 733,333 Founder Shares
were no longer subject to forfeiture and 26,667 Founder Shares were forfeited.
The
Initial Stockholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares (except to permitted transferees)
until (i) with respect to 20% of such shares, upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (ii) with
respect to 20% of such shares, when the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $12.00 for any 20 trading days
within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of a Business Combination, (iii) with respect to 20% of such shares,
when the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $13.50 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period
following the consummation of a Business Combination, (iv) with respect to 20% of such shares, when the closing price of the Company’s
common stock exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of a Business Combination
and (v) with respect to 20% of such shares, when the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $17.00 for any
20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier, in any case, if,
following a Business Combination, the Company engages in a subsequent transaction (1) resulting in the Company’s shareholders
having the right to exchange their shares for cash or other securities or (2) involving a consolidation, merger or other change
in the majority of the Company’s board of directors or management team in which the Company is the surviving entity. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in connection with an initial Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders may transfer, assign or sell their
Founder Shares with the Company’s consent to any person or entity that agrees in writing to be bound by the transfer restrictions
set forth in the prior sentence.

Promissory
Note — Related Party
Prior
to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company’s Sponsor loaned the Company $231,846 for expenses related to
the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering. The loan was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on the earlier
of June 30, 2017 or the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The loan was repaid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering
on January 25, 2017.
Related
Party Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has committed to loan the Company funds
as may be required up to a maximum of $1,100,000 (“Working Capital Loans”), which will be repaid upon the consummation
of a Business Combination. However, if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Company may use funds held
outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such
repayment, other than interest income earned thereon in an amount, when taken together with amounts released to the Company for
working capital purposes, that does not exceed $500,000. If such funds are insufficient to repay the Working Capital Loans, the
unpaid amounts would be forgiven. Any part or all of the Working Capital Loans may be converted into additional warrants at $0.75
per one-half of one warrant (warrants to purchase a maximum of 733,333 whole shares if the full $1,100,000 is loaned and that
amount is converted into warrants) of the post-Business Combination entity at the option of the Sponsor. The warrants would be
identical to the Placement Warrants. There were no Working Capital Loans outstanding as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
6.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration
Rights
Pursuant
to a registration rights agreement entered into on January 19, 2017, the holders of the Founder Shares, Placement Units (including
any securities contained therein) and the warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any shares
of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants or the warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital
Loans) are entitled to registration rights. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding
short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back”
registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights
to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration
rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become
effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the
filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriters
Agreement
The
Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,295,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any,
at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On January 25, 2017, the underwriters exercised
their over-allotment option to purchase 2,200,000 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit and waived the remaining portion
of the over-allotment option to purchase up to 95,000 Units.
The
underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering,
or $3,060,000. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of (i) five percent (5.0%) of the gross proceeds of
the Initial Public Offering, excluding any amounts raised pursuant to the overallotment option, and (ii) seven percent (7.0%)
of the gross proceeds of the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering pursuant to the overallotment option, or an aggregate of
$9,190,000. The deferred fee will be paid in cash upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in the Trust
Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Deferred
Legal Fees
The
Company is obligated to pay its attorneys a deferred legal fee of $25,000 upon consummation of a Business Combination or dissolution
of the Company if a Business Combination is not completed within the Combination Period. Accordingly, the Company has recorded
$25,000 as deferred legal fees payable in the accompanying condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2017.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred
Stock
— The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock 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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common
Stock
— The Company is authorized to issue 35,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.
Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each common share. At June 30, 2017 and December 31,
2016, there were 7,766,107 and 5,298,333 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively (excluding 16,127,226 and
-0- shares of common stock subject to possible redemption).
Warrants
— Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise
of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business
Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants
and a current prospectus relating to them is available. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later
than 20 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC
a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise
of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness
of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance
with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company’s common stock is at the time
of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered
security” under the Securities Act, the Company, at its option, may require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their
warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event
the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement. The Public Warrants
will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The
Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the
Private Warrants and the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable
or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Additionally,
the Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor, Cantor or their permitted transferees.
If the Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor, Cantor or their permitted transferees, the Placement Warrants
will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. In addition, for as
long as the Placement Warrants are held by Cantor or its designees or affiliates, they may not be exercised after five years from
the effective date of the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering.
The
Company may redeem the Public Warrants (except as described above with respect to the Placement Warrants):
|
●
|
in
whole and not in part;
|
|
●
|
at
a price of $0.01 per warrant;
|
|
●
|
upon
a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;
|
|
●
|
if,
and only if, the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $24.00 per share for any 20 trading
days within a 30-trading day period ending on a the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends 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 shares of common stock 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 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances
including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants
will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price. 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.

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 on Form 10-Q includes “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”) 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
Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations” regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management
for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended
to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but
reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events,
performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the
forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of our registration statement and prospectus for the initial
public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of our units (“Units”) filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Our securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s
website at

. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention
or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
We
are a blank check company incorporated on May 28, 2015 as a Delaware corporation formed for the purpose of effecting a merger,
capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses
(a “Business Combination”). We intend to use cash from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the private
placement of our Units that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the Initial Public Offering (the “Private Placement”),
our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt to effectuate our initial Business Combination. We have until
January 25, 2019 to consummate our initial Business Combination. If we do not consummate an initial Business Combination by January
25, 2019, we will distribute the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (as defined below), pro rata to our public
shareholders by way of redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up our affairs.

have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues as of June 30, 2017. Our only activities from inception to June
30, 2017 have been organizational activities, preparation for and consummation of our Initial Public Offering and activities to
identify and evaluate potential target businesses. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues prior to the completion
of our initial Business Combination, of which there can be no assurance.
Upon
the consummation of our Initial Public Offering on January 25, 2017, we deposited $175,000,000 of the gross proceeds of the Initial
Public Offering and Private Placement into a trust account (the “Trust Account”). Funds in the Trust Account are invested
in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or money market funds investing solely in U.S. treasuries
and meeting the conditions specified in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment
Company Act”). Following our Initial Public Offering we have generated, and expect to continue to generate, non-operating
income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account. We expect to incur increased operating
expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as
for due diligence expenses relating to an initial Business Combination.
For
the three months ended June 30, 2017, we had net income of $124,945, which consists of operating costs of $106,063, interest
income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $340,465 and a provision for income taxes of $109,457.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2017, we had a net loss of $40,145, which consists of operating costs of $332,819, interest income
on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $402,131 and a provision for income taxes of $109,457.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Until
the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on January 25, 2017, our only source of liquidity was the sale of 6,000,000 shares
(the “Founder Shares”) of our common stock (“Common Stock”) to our Sponsor and certain of our initial
shareholders for an aggregate purchase price of $28,311, and monies loaned to us by the Sponsor to fund organizational costs and
expenses in connection with our Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2017, all such loans from the Sponsor have
been repaid (See Part I, Item I, Note 5 to our Condensed Financial Statements – Related Party Transactions).
On
January 25, 2017, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 17,500,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross
proceeds of $175,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we sold an aggregate of 420,000 Units
(the “Placement Units”) in the Private Placement for an aggregate purchase price of $4,200,000, or $10.00 per Unit,
to the Sponsor (390,000 Units) and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (30,000 Units), the underwriter for the Initial Public Offering
(“Cantor Fitzgerald”), pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Each Placement Unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half of one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at
an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (a “Placement Warrant”). Following the Initial Public
Offering, $175,000,000 of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were placed into the Trust
Account.
As
of June 30, 2017, we had cash of $163,746 held outside the Trust Account. At June 30, 2017, we had $25,389 of accounts payable
and accrued expenses, $25,000 of deferred legal fees payable relating to the Initial Public Offering, which are payable only if
we consummate a Business Combination or upon dissolution of the Company if a Business Combination is not completed by January
25, 2019, and $9,190,000 of deferred underwriting fees, which are payable only if we consummate a Business Combination. The deferred
underwriting fees are held in the Trust Account (see Part I, Item 1, Note 6 to our Condensed Financial Statements - Commitments
and Contingencies).
As
of June 30, 2017, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $175,402,131 (including approximately $402,000
of interest income) 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 for working capital purposes and to pay taxes or any dissolution expenses. Through June 30, 2017,
we did not withdraw any funds from the interest earned on the Trust Account.
For
the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash used in operating activities was $366,555, consisting primarily of a net loss of $40,145
and interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $402,131. Changes in operating assets and liabilities
provided $75,721 of cash for operating activities.
We
intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest
on funds held in the Trust Account for working capital purposes, the payment of taxes or dissolution expenses, if any. We do not
expect the interest earned on the amount in the Trust Account to be sufficient to pay our income and franchise taxes. If we use
our equity or debt securities as consideration for our initial Business Combination, or we do not use all of the funds released
from the Trust Account for payment of such consideration, we may apply the excess funds for general corporate purposes, including
for maintenance or expansion of operations of acquired businesses, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred
in consummating the initial Business Combination, including loans made to us by the Sponsor to fund an Initial Business Combination,
or for working capital (see Part I, Item 1, Note 5 to our Condensed Financial Statements - Related Party Transactions). Funds
held in the Trust Account may also be used to fund the redemption of common stock as described in Part I, Item 1, Note 1 to our
Condensed Financial Statements - Description of Organization and Business Operations.
We
intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business
due diligence on prospective target businesses, pay for travel expenditures, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination,
pay taxes to the extent the interest earned on the Trust Account is not sufficient to pay our tax and for working capital purposes.
The
Sponsor committed to loan us funds from time to time of up to a maximum of $1,100,000 to finance transaction costs in connection
with an initial Business Combination and for working capital requirements following our Initial Public Offering. See Part I, Item
1, Note 5 to our Condensed Financial Statements - Related Party Transactions, for a description of the terms of this loan.
Off-balance
sheet financing arrangements
We
do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that is material to investors.
Contractual
obligations
We
do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.
Significant
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (“GAAP”) 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 consolidated financial statements,
and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified
the following significant accounting policy:
Common
stock subject to possible redemption
We
account for common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified
as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features
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) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’
equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence
of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2017, the common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as
temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.
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 the Company’s condensed financial statements.
