NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~September~~March 3031, ~~2016~~2017

(Unaudited)

Organization and Business Operations

Incorporation

Axar Acquisition Corp., formerly known as AR Capital Acquisition Corp., (the “Company”), was incorporated in Delaware on July 25, 2014.

Sponsor

The Company’s former sponsor is AR Capital, LLC (“ARC”), a Delaware limited liability company. Upon the ~~change~~approval inof ~~management~~the proposals at the Special Meeting in October 2016 (discussed below), Axar Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company, became the Company’s new sponsor (the “Sponsor”) ~~(see Note 9)~~.

Effective upon the closing of the Transfer Agreement (as defined in Note 5) between the Sponsor and ARC, (i) Andrew Axelrod was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors, Lionel Benichou was appointed as Chief Financial Officer, and (ii) Nicholas S. Schorsch, Nicholas Radesca and William Kahane each resigned from their positions as officers and directors of the Company.

Business Purpose

The Company is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more operating businesses (“~~Initial~~ Business Combination”). The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated significant revenue to date. The Company is an "emerging growth company" as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended of the "Securities Act" as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act").

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the ~~Initial~~initial Business Combination. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an ~~Initial~~initial Business Combination.

Financing

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Offering”, see Note 3) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 1, 2014. On October 7, 2014, the Company consummated the Public Offering of 24,000,000 units (“Public Units” and, with respect to the common stock and warrants to purchase common stock included in the Public Units, the “Public Shares” and “Public Warrants”) at $10.00 per Public Unit, generated gross proceeds of $240 million and, in connection therewith, incurred offering costs of approximately $13.3 million, inclusive of $4.8 million of underwriting fees paid upfront, and $8.4 million of Deferred Fees (as defined in Note 3), payable upon the consummation of the initial ~~Initial~~ Business Combination.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Public Offering, ARC, the Company’s former sponsor, purchased 6,550,000 warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement (“Private Placement”), generated gross proceeds of $6.55 million (see Note 45).

~~Additionally,~~Liquidation ARC loaned $79,702 through the issuance of an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) on August 1, 2014 to cover expenses related to the Public Offering. The Note was payable without interest and was repaid in full by the Company on October 8, 2014.Date

~~Trust~~On ~~Account~~October 6, 2016, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (“Special Meeting”). Following the approval of the proposals at the Special Meetings, the Company filed an amendment to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to: (i) extend the date by which it must complete an initial Business Combination (“Extension”) to (a) October 1, 2017 or (b) if prior to October 1, 2017, the Company publicly discloses that an extension past October 1, 2017 will not prevent the Company from maintaining the listing of its securities on NASDAQ, December 31, 2017 (“Liquidation Date”) and (ii) to change the Company’s name from “AR Capital Acquisition Corp.” to “Axar Acquisition Corp.”

An aggregate of $240 million ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Units in the Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a U.S. based trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The funds held in the Trust Account can be invested only in U.S. government treasury securities with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.

The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay franchise and income taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Initial Business Combination; or (ii) the redemption of 100% of the shares of common stock included in the units sold in the Public Offering if the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering. In connection with the Extension (as defined in Note 9), the Company extended its liquidation date to (i) October 1, 2017 or (ii) if prior to October 1, 2017, the Company publicly discloses that an extension past October 1, 2017 will not prevent the Company from maintaining the listing of its securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”), December 31, 2017. The Company expects to withdraw the interest earned from the funds held in the Trust Account to pay for franchise and income taxes.

AXAR ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

If the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination by the Liquidation Date, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then Public Shares outstanding, and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law, the balance of the Company’s net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. 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 price per unit in the Public Offering.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within the required time period.

Trust Account

An aggregate of $240 million ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Units in the Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in a U.S. based trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The funds held in the Trust Account were invested in U.S. government treasury securities with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.

At the Special Meeting, stockholders holding 21,493,889 Public Shares exercised their right to redeem such Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. As a result, an aggregate of approximately $215 million (or approximately $10.00 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such stockholders. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $25.2 million in its Trust Account, and the conversion amount per share in connection with a Business Combination or liquidation would have been approximately $10.06 per share. An additional amount of approximately $125,300 was deposited into the Trust Account in January 2017 pursuant to the Transfer Agreement between the Sponsor and ARC (as defined in Note 5), which amount will be added on a pro rata basis to the per share redemption amount in connection with an initial Business Combination or liquidation of the Trust Account.

Initial Business Combination

An ~~Initial~~initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account, excluding deferred underwriting commissions, advisory fees and taxes payable on the income earned by the Trust Account, at the time of the agreement to enter into the ~~Initial~~initial Business Combination.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the Initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Initial Business Combination (provided they in fact vote for or against the Initial Business Combination), for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to commencement of the tender offer, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval.

If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete the Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. In the event the Company seeks stockholder approval or conducts redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, then in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Initial Business Combination.

The Company had 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering to complete its Initial Business Combination. Following the approvals of the proposals at the Special Meeting (as defined in Note 9) in October 2016, the Company amended and restated its charter, pursuant to which it will have until (i) October 1, 2017 or (ii) if prior to October 1, 2017, the Company publicly discloses that an extension past October 1, 2017 will not prevent the Company from maintaining the listing of its securities on NASDAQ, December 31, 2017, to complete its Initial Business Combination (“Liquidation Date”). If the Company does not complete the Initial Business Combination within this period of time, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then public shares outstanding, and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law, the balance of the Company’s net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. 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 Public Offering.

Fiscal Year End

The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

AXAR ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2017

(Unaudited)

In connection with an initial Business Combination, the Company will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to commencement of the tender offer, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the initial Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval.

If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete the initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the initial Business Combination.

In no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate initial Business Combination.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company will only have until the Liquidation Date to complete a Business Combination. This mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Liquidation Date.

In the event of such liquidation, 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 Public Offering.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on ~~February~~March 1914, ~~2016~~2017. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for a complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) permits emerging growth companies to delay complying with new or revised financial accounting standards that do not yet apply to private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). 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.

Investments Held in Trust Account

The amounts held in the Trust Account represent substantially all of the proceeds of the Public Offering and are classified as restricted assets since such amounts can only be used by the Company in connection with the consummation of an ~~Initial~~initial Business Combination and to pay its tax obligation. As of March ~~September 30~~31, ~~2016~~2017, there was approximately $~~202~~228,000 of interest income held in the Trust Account available to be released to the Company ~~to pay its tax obligation~~.

Going Concern Consideration

If the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination by Liquidation Date, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the common stock sold as part of the units in the Public Offering, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. This mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete an Initial Business Combination within the required time period.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus to the extent dilutive, the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury stock method. As the Company reported a net loss for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, 2017 and 2016, the effect of the 12,000,000 warrants issued in the Public Offering, ~~and~~ 6,550,000 warrants issued ~~to ARC~~ in connection with the private placement, and 1,253,055 warrants issued as dividends have not been considered in the diluted loss per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. An aggregate of 221,~~858~~363,~~626~~870 and 22,~~723~~955,~~498~~179 common stock subject to possible redemption at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2016~~2017 and ~~2015~~2016, respectively, have been ~~excluded~~ excluded from the calculation of basic loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the earnings in the Trust Account. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented on the Company’s accompanying ~~Condensed~~ Balance Sheets.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred in connection with the Public Offering and that were charged to stockholders’ equity. Upon the consummation of the Public Offering, an aggregate of $13.3 million, inclusive of $4.8 million of underwriting fees paid upfront, and $8.4 million of Deferred Fees (as defined in Note 3) was charged to stockholders’ equity. In January 2016, upon the consultant’s inability to provide agreed services, an aggregate of $2.64 million in Deferred Fees were reversed from deferred underwriting commissions and advisory fees and additional paid-in capital on the Company’s accompanying ~~Condensed~~ Balance ~~Sheets~~Sheet at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (see Note 3).

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

Under the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, all of the ~~24,000,000~~ Public Shares may be redeemed for cash in connection with the Company’s liquidation or a tender offer or stockholder approval in connection with an ~~Initial~~initial Business Combination. In accordance with FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of FASB ASC 480. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that in no event will it redeem the common stock sold as part of the units in the Public Offering in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders’ equity) to be less than $5,000,001.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock shall be affected by charges against additional paid-in capital in accordance with ASC 480.

Accordingly, at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 22,858,626 and 22,700,592, respectively, of the 24,000,000 Public Shares were classified outside of permanent equity at its redemption value.

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of FASB 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. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) (now incorporated into FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes), sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions. This interpretation uses a two-step approach wherein a tax benefit or expense is recognized if a position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount of the benefit or expense is then measured to be the highest tax benefit or expense that is greater than 50% likely to be realized. Based on its analysis, the Company has determined that it has no unrecognized tax benefits or expenses as of September 30, 2016. The Company’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and other expenses, respectively. No interest expense or penalties have been recognized as of September 30, 2016. The Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and may file income tax returns in various U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, U.S. states or foreign jurisdiction 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 U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign tax laws. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by Federal, state and local taxing authorities for all tax years since inception.

Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. The provision of income taxes was deemed to be immaterial for the period ended December 31, 2015. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the effective rate was 0% due to the establishment of a full valuation allowance.

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the Balance Sheet date up to the date these financial statements were available to be issued. Based on the evaluation, the Company did not identify any subsequent event that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Public Offering

On October 7, 2014, the Company completed the Public Offering pursuant to which it sold 24,000,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generated gross proceeds of $240 million. Offering costs associated with the Public Offering was approximately $13.3 million, inclusive of $4.8 million of underwriting fees paid upfront, and $8.4 million of Deferred Fees (as defined below), payable upon the consummation of the ~~Initial~~initial Business Combination. In January 2016, upon the consultant’s inability to provide agreed services, an aggregate of $2.64 million in Deferred Fees were reversed from deferred underwriting commissions and advisory fees and additional paid-in capital on the Company’s accompanying ~~Condensed~~ Balance Sheets. Each Public Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and one-half of one redeemable common stock purchase warrant, the Public Warrants. On October 7, 2016, following approval of the proposals at the Special Meeting ~~(as defined in Note 9)~~, the Company amended the warrant agreements for all of the 12,000,000 outstanding Public Warrants to convert all outstanding Public Warrants into right to receive $0.15 per Public Warrant upon the consummation of a Business Combination, for an aggregate amount of $1.8 million, payable in cash ofor shares of the Company’s common stock at the discretion of the Company.

In addition to the underwriting discount paid upfront of $0.20 per Public Unit ($4.8 million in the aggregate) to the underwriters at the closing of the Public Offering, the Company agreed to pay additional fees (the “Deferred Fees”) of $8.4 million ($0.35 per Public Unit sold), comprised of (a) $5.76 million payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions and (b) $2.64 million payable to RCS Capital (“RCS”), a division of Realty Capital Securities, LLC, an entity then under common control with ARC, for financial advisory services in connection with the identification, evaluation, negotiation and completion of the ~~Initial~~ initial Business Combination. The Deferred Fees are payable to the underwriters and RCS solely in the event the Company completes an ~~Initial~~initial Business Combination.

Founder Shares

On August 1, 2014, ARC purchased 8,625,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share. The Founder Shares are identical to the common stock included in the Public Units except that the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. On October 1, 2014, in connection with a reduction in the size of the Public Offering, ARC contributed to the Company 1,725,000 Founder Shares, which the Company canceled. Thereafter, ARC sold 20,000 Founder Shares at their original price to each of the Company’s independent directors. On December 5, 2014, as a result of the underwriters’ election not to exercise the overallotment option in connection with the Public Offering, the initial stockholders (as defined below) forfeited an aggregate of 900,000 Founder Shares, consisting of a forfeiture of 2,609 Founder Shares by each of David Gong, P.

Private Placement Warrants

On October 7, 2014, ARC purchased from the Company an aggregate of 6,550,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $6.55 million) in a Private Placement that occurred simultaneously with the completion of the Public Offering. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $12.50 per share, as amended upon approval of the proposals at the Special Meeting ~~(as defined~~ in ~~Note~~October 9)2016. Of the $6.55 million purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants, $4.3 million of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account pending completion of the ~~Initial~~initial Business Combination.

The Private Placement Warrants (including the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination and they will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees. In addition, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the Public Units. Otherwise, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants included in the Public Units and have no net cash settlement provisions.

If the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination, then the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Agreements with Sponsor

Pursuant to the agreement by and among the Company, ARC and the Company’s Sponsor in October 2016 (“Transfer Agreement”), ARC transferred all of its Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants to the Company’s Sponsor, Axar Master Fund Ltd. Upon consummation of the initial Business Combination, the Sponsor agreed to automatically forfeit, for no consideration, a number of Founder Shares equal to the excess of (if positive) of (a) 6,000,000 over (b) 25% of the sum of (i) total Public Shares outstanding plus (ii) the excess of (x) the total number of shares of common stock issued or deemed issued, or issuable upon the conversion of exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any shares of common stock or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of common stock issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination or the Sponsor and its affiliates, over (y) the total number of Public Shares redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. No Founder Shares will be forfeited if sum of the forgoing (a) and (b) is equal to or less than zero.

Loans from Related Parties

ARC agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate of $200,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) on August 1, 2014 to cover expenses related to the Public Offering. The Note was payable without interest upon the consummation of the Public Offering. From inception through October 7, 2014, ARC loaned $79,702 to the Company. The Note was repaid in full on October 8, 2014. Additionally, the Company had a due to affiliate of $88,800 to ARC for costs incurred by the Company, which was repaid on October 8, 2014. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, in October 2016, ARC also contributed approximately $770,000 to the Company for general working capital purposes.

Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Sponsor agreed to lend the Company on January 1, 2017 and on the first business day of each of the following three fiscal quarters commencing thereafter (or, if the Extension date is October 1, 2017, the following two fiscal quarters commencing thereafter) approximately $125,300, which amounts will be deposited in the Trust Account (“Trust Loan”). The Sponsor has also agreed to provide a loan to the Company for up to $2 million for working capital and other expenses (together with Trust Loan, “Loan”). The Loan will be non-interest bearing and repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated, the note will not be repaid by the Company and all amounts owed thereunder by the Company will be forgiven, except to the extent that the Company has funds available outside of the Trust Account. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had an outstanding amount of $950,000 under the Loan from the Sponsor, of which approximately $125,300 was deposited in the Trust Account in January 2017.

Compensation Reimbursement Agreement

On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to pay ARC an amount not to exceed $15,000 per month as reimbursement for a portion of the compensation paid to its personnel, including certain of the Company’s officers who work on the Company’s behalf, commencing on the date the Company’s securities are first listed on NASDAQ (the “Compensation Reimbursement Agreement”). During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, 2016, the Company incurred $45,000 ~~and $135,000, respectively,~~ related to services ~~under~~ ~~this agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred $45,000 and $135,000, respectively, related to services~~ under this agreement.

On October 7, 2016, this arrangement was terminated, and ARC agreed that all amounts owed under such arrangement as of such date, or approximately $50,000, were contributed to capital (see Note 9).

Registration Rights Agreement

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on October 1, 2014 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The holders of the majority 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 Company’s completion of the Initial 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, which occurs (a) in the case of the Founder Shares, one year after the date of the consummation of the Initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to the Initial Business Combination, (i) the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Initial Business Combination, or (ii) the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property and (b) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the respective common stock underlying such Private Placement Warrants, 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination.

A total of $240 million from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Units in the Public Offering and the Private Placement was been placed in the Trust Account. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the balance in the Trust Account was approximately $240.2 million and $240 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company withdrew $0 and $107,503, respectively, in funds from interest earned on the trust proceeds to pay for franchise taxes. No amounts were withdrawn for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.(Unaudited)

Registration Rights Agreement

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on October 1, 2014 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities under the Securities Act. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the initial 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, which occurs (a) in the case of the Founder Shares, one year after the date of the consummation of the initial Business Combination or earlier if, subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (i) the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (ii) the Company consummates a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property and (b) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the respective common stock underlying such Private Placement Warrants, 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Deferred Underwriting Commissions

The Company is committed to pay a portion of the Deferred Fees totaling $5.76 million, or 2.4% of gross offering proceeds of the Public Offering, to the underwriters upon the Company’s consummation of an initial Business Combination. The underwriters will not be entitled to any interest accrued on their portion of the Deferred Fees, and no portion of the Deferred Fee is payable to the underwriters if there is no initial Business Combination.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company complies with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, 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 following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2016~~2017 and December 31, ~~2015~~2016, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability:

Critical Accounting Policy

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, all of the Public Shares may be redeemed for cash in connection with our liquidation or a tender offer or stockholder approval in connection with an initial Business Combination. In accordance with FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, redemption provisions not solely within the control of our company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of FASB ASC 480. Although we did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, our charter provides that in no event will we redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders’ equity) to be less than $5,000,001.

We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock shall be affected by charges against additional paid-in capital in accordance with ASC 480.

Accordingly, at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 1,363,870 and 1,386,746 Public Shares were classified outside of permanent equity at its redemption value, respectively.

Results of Operations

For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended March ~~September 30~~31, ~~2016,~~2017 ~~we had a net loss of approximately $63,000~~ and ~~$1 million~~2016, ~~respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015,~~ we had a net loss of approximately $~~244~~140,000 and $~~735~~94,000, respectively. Through ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2016~~ 2017, 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~~ income, other than interest income earned on the proceeds held in the Trust Account and cash outside of the ~~Trust~~ ~~Account. Through September 30, 2016, we withdrew $107,503 in funds from the interest earned from the~~ Trust Account ~~proceeds to pay for franchise taxes~~. ~~As of September 30, 2016, we had cash held outside of the Trust Account of $381, which is available to fund our working capital requirements.~~

If we do not complete an initial Business Combination by (i) October 1, 2017 or (ii) if prior to October 1, 2017, we publicly disclose that an extension past October 1, 2017 will not prevent us from maintaining the listing of our securities on NASDAQ, December 31, 2017, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the common stock sold as part of the units in the Public Offering, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. This mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our Private Placement Warrants and the New Warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete an initial Business Combination within the required time period.

On October 7, 2016, ARC agreed to terminate its compensation reimbursement agreement with us, pursuant to which we were to pay ARC an amount not to exceed $15,000 per month. ARC also agreed that all amounts owed under such arrangements, or approximately $50,000, were contributed to capital.

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. 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 entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets.

Contractual obligations

WeAs doa ~~not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than an administrative agreement to pay RCS Advisory Services, LLC (~~“~~RCS~~smaller ~~Advisory~~reporting company”), anas ~~entity~~defined ~~previously~~by ~~under~~Item ~~common control with ARC, a total of $~~10~~,000 per~~ month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and administrative services and a compensation reimbursement agreement to pay ARC an amount not to exceed $15,000 per month as reimbursement for a portion of ~~the~~Regulation ~~compensation paid to its personnel~~S-K, ~~including~~ ~~certain of our officers who work on our behalf, commencing on~~ the ~~date our securities are first listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market. Upon the earlier of the completion of the Initial Business Combination or the~~ Company’s ~~liquidation,~~is ~~we will cease paying these monthly fees. On January 22, 2016, due to the exigent circumstances publicly announced by RCS Advisory’s parent company, including but~~ not ~~limited~~required to its stated intention to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and shut down all of its businesses other than its retail advisor platform by the end of January 2016 (such bankruptcy filing occurred on January 31, 2016 and on May 23, 2016, RCS’s parent company and its affiliated debtors emerged from bankruptcy under the new name, Aretec Group, Inc.), which resulted in RCS Advisory’s inability to provide ~~the~~this ~~services contemplated by the administrative services agreement, we provided notice of termination of the administrative services agreement~~information. The space formerly sublet by RCS Advisory for our office space was leased by ARC and, as of September 30, 2016 was provided to us free of charge. Upon the change in management in October 2016, the office space was no longer in use.

~~Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies~~15

A summary of our accounting policies is set forth in Note 2 of the Notes to the Condensed Interim Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 under “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Market risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates, foreign exchanges, commodity prices, equity prices and other market driven rates or prices. We are not presently engaged in and, if we do not consummate a suitable business combination prior to the prescribed liquidation date of the Trust Account, we may not engage in, any substantive commercial business. Accordingly, we are not and, until such time as we consummate a business combination, we will not be, exposed to risks associated with foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other market driven rates or prices. The net proceeds of our initial public offering held in the Trust Account may be invested by the trustee only in permitted United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, having 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 which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Given our limited risk in our exposure to government securities and money market funds, we do not view the interest rate risk to be significant.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2016~~2017. Based upon their evaluation, our ~~Chief~~ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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.
