 its Primary Operations in China as a result of the location in or substantial ties of our officers and directors to China.” In order to reduce or limit such risks, we will not consider or undertake an initial business combination with any company which financial statements are audited by an accounting firm that the PCAOB is unable to inspect for two consecutive years. Accordingly, this may limit the pool of acquisition candidates we may acquire in China due in part to PRC laws and regulations against foreign ownership and investment in certain assets and industries, known as restricted industries, including, but not limited to, value added telecommunications services (except for e-commerce, domestic multiparty communications, store-and-forward services and call centers).

In addition, the combined company may be subject to legal and operational risks associated with having substantially all of its operations in China, including risks related to the legal
