PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF
CHINA FUNDAMENTAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION
 
To the Shareholders of China Fundamental Acquisition Corporation (“CFAC”):
 
You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of the shareholders of China Fundamental Acquisition Corporation, or CFAC, relating to the proposed acquisition by CFAC of all of the outstanding shares of the parent and associated companies of Beijing Wowjoint Machinery Co., Ltd. (collectively “Wowjoint”), one of the leading providers in the design, engineering and manufacturing of customized infrastructure equipment and machinery used in the construction of railways, highways, bridges and viaducts in China, by CFAC, which will be held at 8:00 a.m., eastern time, on ________, 2010, at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Izumi Garden Tower 21st Floor, 1-6-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-6021, Japan.
 
At this important meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals:
 
 
·
to approve the proposed acquisition by CFAC of all of the outstanding shares of Wowjoint and the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement dated November 30, 2009 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”), by and among CFAC, Wowjoint and shareholders of Wowjoint;
 
 
·
to approve the change of corporate name to Wowjoint Holdings Limited as a result of the acquisition;
 
 
·
to approve the further amendment of CFAC’s articles of association to remove certain provisions that are no longer applicable to CFAC after the acquisition;
 
 
·
to approve by ordinary resolution the appointment of board of directors of Mr. Yabin Liu, Mr. Fude Zhang, Mr. Jibing Li and Mr. Chun Liu; and
 
 
·
to transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
 
The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of CFAC’s ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting is required to approve the acquisition proposal. In addition, each CFAC shareholder that holds ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering or purchased following such offering in the open market has the right to vote against the acquisition proposal and, at the same time, demand that CFAC redeem such shareholder’s shares into cash equal to a pro rata portion, or $7.9666 per share plus interest, of the trust account in which $33,908,250, the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering, is deposited. If the acquisition is not completed, then your shares will not be converted to cash at this time, even if you so elected. However, if the holders of 1,489,687 or more ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering, an amount equal to 35% or more of the total number of shares issued in the initial public offering, vote against the acquisition and demand conversion of their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, then CFAC will not be able to consummate the acquisition. CFAC’s initial shareholders, including all of its directors and officers and their affiliates, who purchased ordinary shares prior to CFAC’s initial public offering and presently own an aggregate of approximately 1,064,062 of the outstanding CFAC ordinary shares, have agreed to vote such shares acquired prior to the public offering (approximately 20% of the outstanding ordinary shares) in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other CFAC shareholders on the acquisition proposal. The initial shareholders of CFAC, including all of its directors and officers and their affiliates, are entitled to vote the shares acquired by them in or subsequent to the initial public offering as they see fit and have indicated that they will vote the shares acquired by them in or subsequent to the initial public offering, representing approximately 20% of the outstanding ordinary shares, in favor of the acquisition proposal.

i

 
Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Share Purchase Agreement, CFAC will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Wowjoint in exchange for an aggregate of 5,700,000 CFAC ordinary shares. Upon consummation of the acquisition, CFAC will change its name to Wowjoint Holdings Limited.
 
Immediately after completion of the acquisition, if no shareholder exercises his or her redemption rights, CFAC’s public shareholders will own approximately 38.6% (assuming no CFAC warrants are exercised), CFAC’s initial shareholders, including its officers and directors, will own approximately 9.7% and former Wowjoint shareholders will own approximately 51.7% of the combined company. Following the acquisition, the officers and directors of CFAC and Wowjoint combined will beneficially own approximately 43.9% of the combined company’s ordinary shares.
 
CFAC’s ordinary shares, warrants and units are listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbols CFQCF, CFQWF and CFQUF, respectively. The securities of Wowjoint are not currently listed or quoted. CFAC intends to apply to have its securities listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, although there can be no assurance that its proposed listing will be approved by Nasdaq.
 
If the acquisition proposal is approved, CFAC’s name will be changed to Wowjoint Holdings Limited upon consummation of the acquisition.
 
After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the board of directors of CFAC has determined the foregoing proposals are fair to and in the best interests of CFAC and its shareholders. The board of directors of CFAC unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” adoption of each of them.
 
Enclosed is a notice of special meeting and proxy statement containing detailed information concerning the acquisition, the other proposals and the meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your shares. I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

The consummation of the transaction is subject to certain conditions including the approval of the transaction by CFAC’s shareholders and holders of fewer than 1,489,687 of CFAC’s public shares exercising certain redemption rights they possess.

2

 
What vote is required in order to approve the acquisition proposal?
 
The approval of the acquisition of Wowjoint will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of CFAC’s ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting. Each CFAC shareholder who holds ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering or purchased following such offering in the open market has the right to vote against the acquisition proposal and, at the same time, demand that CFAC convert such shareholder’s shares into cash equal to a pro rata portion of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering is deposited. These shares will be converted into cash only if the acquisition is completed. Based on the amount of cash held in the trust account as of December 21, 2009, without taking into account any interest accrued, you will be entitled to convert each share of ordinary shares that you hold into approximately $7.9666, or $0.0334 less than the per-unit offering price of $8.00 for which you purchased units in the initial public offering. However, if the holders of 1,489,687 or more ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering, an amount equal to 35% or more of the total number of shares issued in the initial public offering, vote against the acquisition and demand conversion of their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, then CFAC will not be able to consummate the acquisition. CFAC’s initial shareholders, including all of its directors and officers, who purchased ordinary shares prior to CFAC’s initial public offering and presently, together with their affiliates, own an aggregate of approximately 1,064,062 of the outstanding CFAC ordinary shares, have agreed to vote such shares acquired prior to the public offering (approximately 20% of the outstanding ordinary shares) in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other CFAC shareholders on the acquisition proposal. No vote of the warrant holders is necessary to adopt the acquisition proposal, and CFAC is not asking the warrant holders to vote on the acquisition proposal.
 
What vote is required to adopt the amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association and to change CFAC’s name?
 
Approval of the amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association will require the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders at the meeting, provided that there is a quorum. However, proposals relating to the amendment of CFAC’s Memorandum and Articles of Association will not be effected, even if approved by shareholders in such manner, unless the acquisition proposal with Wowjoint is also approved and consummated.
 
What vote is required to elect the directors?
 
The election of each director will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders at the special meeting, provided that there is a quorum. However, the new directors will not be appointed and qualified as directors, even if approved by shareholders in such manner, unless the acquisition proposal with Wowjoint is also approved and consummated.
 
What will I receive in the acquisition?
 
Holders of CFAC ordinary shares will continue to hold the CFAC ordinary shares they currently own. CFAC is simply acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Wowjoint. The shareholders of Wowjoint will receive shares of CFAC in the acquisition.
 
How is CFAC paying for the acquisition?
 
CFAC will issue 5,691,450 of its ordinary shares in return for all of the outstanding shares held by the shareholders of Giant Nova Holdings Limited and issue 8,550 of its ordinary shares in return for all of the outstanding securities held by the shareholders of AGL. There is no cash payment for the acquisition.
 
Do I have redemption rights in connection with the acquisition?
 
If you hold ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering, then you have the right to vote against the acquisition proposal and demand that CFAC redeem your ordinary shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering are held. These rights to vote against the acquisition and demand redemption of the shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account are sometimes referred to herein as redemption rights.

3

 
If I have redemption rights, how do I exercise them?
 
If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, you must vote against the acquisition and, at the same time, demand that CFAC convert your shares into cash. If, notwithstanding your vote, the acquisition is completed, then you will be entitled to receive a pro rata share of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering are held, including any interest earned thereon through the date of the special meeting. Based on the amount of cash held in the trust account as of December 21, 2009, without taking into account any interest accrued, you will be entitled to convert each share of ordinary shares that you hold into approximately $7.9666, or $0.0334 less than the per-unit offering price of $8.00 for which you purchased units in the initial public offering. If you exercise your redemption rights, then you will be exchanging your CFAC ordinary shares for cash and will no longer own these ordinary shares. You will only be entitled to receive cash for these shares if you continue to hold these shares through the closing date of the acquisition and then tender your share certificate to CFAC. If you redeem your ordinary shares, you will still have the right to exercise the warrants received as part of the units. If the acquisition is not completed, then your shares will not be converted to cash at this time, even if you so elected.
 
Do CFAC shareholders have dissenter or appraisal rights under Cayman Islands law?
 
No.
 
What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after completion of the acquisition?
 
Upon completion of the acquisition, any funds remaining in the trust fund after payment of amounts, if any, to shareholders requesting and exercising their redemption rights and amounts, will be used for general working capital purposes.

Upon completion of the acquisition, CFAC will be managed by the following persons: Mr. Yabin Liu will be chief executive officer; Mr. Fude Zhang will be chief technical officer; Mr. Liguo Liu will be senior vice president of marketing and sales, and Mr. Yasheng Liu will be senior vice president of logistics and administration. The board of directors will consist of Mr. Yabin Liu, Mr. Fude Zhang, Mr. Jibing Li, Mr. Chun Liu and Mr. Chun Yi Hao.
 
What happens if the acquisition is not consummated?
 
If the acquisition is not consummated, CFAC will continue to search for another operating company in China. However, CFAC will be liquidated if it does not consummate a business combination by May 20, 2010, or prior to the expiration of the 24 month period, call a meeting of CFAC shareholders for the purpose of soliciting their approval to extend the date before which CFAC must complete its business combination by an additional 12 months, then by May 20, 2011. In any liquidation, the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering held in the trust account, plus any interest earned thereon, will be distributed pro rata to the holders of CFAC’s ordinary shares.
 
When do you expect the acquisition to be completed?
 
It is currently anticipated that the acquisition will be completed promptly following the CFAC special meeting of shareholders on ________, 2010.

If I am not going to attend the CFAC special meeting of shareholders in person, should I return my proxy card instead?
 
Yes. After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement, please complete and sign your proxy card. Then return the enclosed proxy card in the return envelope provided herewith as soon as possible, so that your shares may be represented at the CFAC special meeting.
 
What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote?
 
An abstention or failure to vote will have no effect on the acquisition proposal and will not have the effect of converting your shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering are held, unless an affirmative election to redeem such ordinary shares is made on the proxy card.
 
What do I do if I want to change my vote?
 
If you wish to change your vote, please send a later-dated, signed proxy card to CFAC’s proxy solicitor Advantage Proxy, 24925 13th Place South, Des Moines, Washington 98198, telephone number 206-870-8565, Attention: Karen Smith so as to be received 48 hours before the special meeting or attend the special meeting and vote in person.

If my shares are held in “street name” by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me?
 
No. Your broker can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions provided by your broker.
 
Do I need to turn in my old certificates?
 
No. If you hold your securities in CFAC in certificate form, as opposed to holding them through your broker, you do not need to exchange them. Your current certificates will represent your rights in CFAC. You may exchange them by contacting the transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Reorganization Department, and following their requirements for reissuance.

The Acquisition
 
On November 30, 2009, CFAC entered into a share purchase agreement with Wowjoint and the Wowjoint shareholders, pursuant to which CFAC would acquire all of the outstanding shares of Wowjoint. Upon completion of the acquisition, Wowjoint will be wholly-owned by CFAC and the business and assets of Wowjoint will be CFAC’s only operating assets. In the acquisition, all of the outstanding shares of Wowjoint will be acquired by CFAC for 5,700,000 of CFAC’s ordinary shares, subject to adjustments provided for in the share purchase agreement. In addition, pursuant to an earn-out provision in the share purchase agreement, CFAC has agreed to issue to Realink Group Limited (“Realink”), one of shareholders of Wowjoint, up to 500,000 additional shares if the following performance targets are achieved:
 
 
·
200,000 earn-out shares in the event that the closing price per share is at or above US$10.00 for 180 days out of 360 days during the period from the acquisition closing date to the second anniversary of the closing date.
 
 
·
200,000 earn-out shares in the event that the closing price per share is at or above US$13.80 for 180 days out of 360 days during the period from the acquisition closing date to the third anniversary of the closing date.
 
8

 
 
·
100,000 earn-out shares in the event that the average daily trading volume is no less than 200,000 shares for three consecutive months during the period from the closing date of the acquisition to the second anniversary of the closing date.
 
In addition, the shareholders of Realink, Mr. Yabin Liu, Fude Zhang, Liguo Liu and Yasheng Liu, have agreed that 3,696,735 ordinary shares of CFAC held by them shall be held in an escrow account upon consummation of the acquisition. Such shares held in the escrow account will be released to them from the date of issuance for a period of four years.
 
The 500,000 earn-out shares exclude the possible issuance of an additional 2,800,000 ordinary shares if the funds left in the trust account to the combined company following the closing are $1,250,000 or less.
 
In the event that the amount of funds available to the combined company in the trust account plus any new capital raised by the combined company immediately after the closing but before paying any closing expenses (the “Available Funds”) is not less than US$8,000,000, CFAC shall cause Chun Yi Hao and Hope Ni (collectively, the “Sponsors”) to deposit an aggregate of 421,875 ordinary shares of CFAC (the “Sponsor Earn-Out Shares”) owned and held by the Sponsors into an escrow account, and such shares shall be released immediately upon satisfaction of one of the following conditions: (1) the Sponsors have helped the combined company, either prior to or after the closing, complete one or a series of financings that have raised, in an accumulative amount including the Available Funds, no less than US$8,000,000 based on such a valuation of Wowjoint for the purpose of financing(s) that is acceptable to Wowjoint or to the combined company; or (2) within 10 months after the completion of the restructuring, CFAC shall introduce at least five institutional investors to meet with Wowjoint for the purpose of negotiating an investment in the combined company. The Sponsors shall use their reasonable efforts to help the combined company complete such financing on or prior to May 20, 2010.
 
CFAC and Wowjoint plan to complete the acquisition promptly after the CFAC’s special meeting, provided that:
 
  
·
CFAC’s shareholders have approved the share purchase agreement;
 
  
·
holders of less than 35% of the ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering vote against the acquisition proposal and demand redemption of their shares into cash; and
 
  
·
the other conditions specified in the share purchase agreement have been satisfied or waived.
 
If CFAC shareholder approval has not been obtained at that time or any other conditions have not been satisfied or waived, the acquisition will be completed promptly after the shareholder approval is obtained or the remaining conditions are satisfied or waived.
 
The share purchase agreement is included as Annex A to this proxy statement. CFAC encourages you to read the share purchase agreement in its entirety. See “The Share Purchase Agreement.”
 
Approval of Wowjoints Shareholders
 
All of the shareholders of Wowjoint have approved the acquisition by virtue of their execution of the share purchase agreement. No further approval of Wowjoint’s shareholders is required.

Special Meeting of CFAC’s Shareholders
 
Date, time and place. The special meeting of the shareholders of CFAC will be held at 8:00 a.m., eastern time, on ___, 2010, at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Izumi Garden Tower 21st Floor, 1-6-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo 106-6021, Japan, to vote on the proposal to approve the acquisition proposal.
 
Voting Power; Record Date. You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the special meeting if your name was entered in the register of members of CFAC in respect to CFAC ordinary shares as of the close of business on ________, 2010, which is the record date for the special meeting. You will have one vote for each CFAC ordinary share registered in your name at the close of business on the record date. CFAC warrants do not have voting rights.
 
Vote Required to Approve the Acquisition Proposal. The approval of the acquisition of Wowjoint pursuant to the share purchase agreement will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of CFAC’s ordinary shares issued in its initial public offering that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting. However, CFAC will not be able to complete the acquisition if the holders of 1,489,687 or more ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering, an amount equal to 35% or more of such shares, vote against the acquisition and demand that CFAC redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering are held.
 
At the close of business on November 30, 2009, there were 5,320,312 CFAC ordinary shares outstanding, of which 4,256,250 were issued in CFAC’s initial public offering, or approximately 80% of the total CFAC ordinary shares outstanding.
 
Redemption Rights. Pursuant to CFAC’s amended articles of association, a holder of shares of CFAC’s ordinary shares issued in the initial public offering may, if the shareholder votes against the acquisition, demand that CFAC convert such shares into cash. This demand must be made on the proxy card at the same time that the shareholder votes against the acquisition proposal. If properly demanded, CFAC will convert each of the ordinary shares as to which such demand has been made into a pro rata portion of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering are held, plus all interest earned thereon. If you exercise your redemption rights, then you will be exchanging your CFAC ordinary shares for cash and will no longer own these shares. Based on the amount of cash held in the trust account as of December 21, 2009, without taking into account any interest accrued, you will be entitled to convert each share of ordinary shares that you hold into approximately $7.9666, or $0.334 less than the per-unit offering price of $8.00 for which you purchased units in the initial public offering. You will only be entitled to receive cash for these shares if you continue to hold these shares through the closing date of the acquisition and then tender your share certificate to CFAC. If the acquisition is not completed, then these shares will not be converted into cash.
 
The acquisition will not be completed if the holders of 1,489,687 or more ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering, an amount equal to 35% or more of such shares vote against the acquisition and exercise their redemption rights.
 
Appraisal or Dissenters Rights. No appraisal rights are available under the Cayman Islands Law for the shareholders of CFAC in connection with the acquisition proposal.
 
10

 
Proxies and Board Solicitation. Your proxy is being solicited by CFAC’s board of directors on each proposal being presented to shareholders at the special shareholders general meeting. Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone, in person or other electronic means.
 
If you grant a proxy, you may still vote your shares in person if you revoke your proxy before the special meeting.
 
CFAC’s Board of Directors’ Recommendation
 
After careful consideration, CFAC’s board of directors has determined unanimously that the acquisition and the other proposals presented at this meeting are fair to, and in the best interests of, CFAC and its shareholders as a whole, although CFAC’s board has not obtained any independent fairness opinion from third parties in connection to the acquisition of Wowjoint from a financial point of view. For the fair value derived from valuation analysis, see “Satisfaction of the 80% Test”, below.
 
CFAC’s board of directors recommends that you vote or direct that your vote to be cast “FOR” the adoption of each of the proposals.
 
Actions that May be Taken to Secure Approval of CFAC’s Shareholders
 
In order to ensure that the business combination is approved, CFAC, Wowjoint and their respective affiliates may enter into transactions to purchase ordinary shares of CFAC from shareholders who have indicated their intention to vote against the business combination and seek redemption of their shares. In addition, CFAC, Wowjoint and their respective affiliates may also purchase warrants from warrant holders. Such purchases could result in all or substantially all of CFAC trust fund being expended to pay for such purchases post transaction, which would result in Wowjoint not receiving any working capital from the trust account. No transactions have been entered into, but may include:
 
  
purchases by CFAC, Wowjoint or their respective affiliates of shares or warrants of CFAC;
 
 
agreements with third parties to purchase shares or warrants that may then be resold to the combined company subsequent to the business combination using funds that were previously in the trust account;
 
 
agreements with third parties pursuant to which CFAC, Wowjoint or their respective affiliates would borrow funds to make purchases of ordinary shares or warrants of CFAC. The combined company would repay such borrowings using funds that were previously in the trust account; and
 
 
the granting of securities to third party purchasers of ordinary shares or warrants of CFAC as an inducement for such third parties to purchase such securities.
 
Any CFAC shares purchased by CFAC or its affiliates would increase the likelihood that the transaction would be approved.

In the event that any purchases of CFAC’s ordinary shares or warrants are made by CFAC, Wowjoint or affiliates of either of them, after the mailing of this proxy statement to shareholders but prior to the special meeting, CFAC will submit a Form 6-K relating to such purchases within four business days of such purchases or otherwise prior to the special meeting and file and mail a proxy supplement to its shareholders with respect to such information.
 
11

 
CFAC will submit a report on Form 6-K and will file and mail a proxy supplement to its shareholders with respect to any arrangements entered into by CFAC, Wowjoint or their respective affiliates which is intended to increase the likelihood that the arrangement and related proposals are approved by CFAC’s shareholders. Any CFAC shares purchased by CFAC will not be considered outstanding for purposes of the special meeting and will therefore not be permitted to vote at the meeting. In the event that public shares are purchased by CFAC, such shares would no longer be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of determining the vote required for the approval of any of the proposals presented at the special meeting. Therefore, this would reduce (i) the number of public shares outstanding and entitled to vote on each matter, (ii) the number of shares required to be voted in favor of each proposal. Conversely, if CFAC’s directors and officers purchased such shares, those shares would still be considered to be outstanding and could be voted in favor of such proposals, reducing the number of shares required to be voted in favor of such proposals by a number of shares equal to those purchased. Neither CFAC nor its officers or directors purchasing shares would affect the number of shares that could be redeemed by CFAC with the business combination still being permitted to be consummated.
 
CFAC’s initial shareholders have agreed to vote the ordinary shares of CFAC owned by them prior to CFAC’s initial public offering in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by holders of shares sold in CFAC’s initial public offering. The initial shareholders are not under any obligation to CFAC with respect to voting any shares acquired by them in CFAC’s initial public offering or in the aftermarket, and accordingly may vote any such shares in favor of the proposed business combination (as they have indicated they intend to do). This would have the effect of reducing the number of other public shareholders of CFAC that would have to vote in favor of the proposed business combination. The initial shareholders have agreed not to demand redemption rights with respect to any of their initial shares (nor will they seek appraisal rights with respect to such shares if appraisal rights would be available to them).
 
Interests of CFAC Directors and Officers in the Acquisition
 
When you consider the recommendation of CFAC’s board of directors that you vote in favor of adoption of the acquisition proposal, you should keep in mind that certain of CFAC’s directors and officers have interests in the acquisition that are different from, or in addition to, your interest as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things, that if the acquisition is not approved and CFAC fails to consummate an alternative transaction within the time allotted pursuant to its articles of incorporation, requiring CFAC to liquidate, the ordinary shares held by CFAC’s executives and directors may be worthless because CFAC’s executives and directors are not entitled to receive any of the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering that may be distributed upon liquidation of CFAC. Also, Mr. Hao and Ms. Ni have agreed to loan CFAC funds, without interest, to cover its transaction expenses, in connection with the acquisition of Wowjoint in excess of the funds held outside the trust, which loans, if the acquisition is not completed, may not be repaid.
 
Interests of Directors and Officers of Wowjoint in the Acquisition

You should understand that some of the current directors and officers of Wowjoint have interests in the acquisition that are different from, or in addition to, your interest as a shareholder. In particular, Messrs. Yabin Liu, chief executive officer of Beijing Wowjoint is expected to become CFAC’s chief executive officer, Fude Zhang, deputy general manager of Beijing Wowjoint is expected to become CFAC’s chief technical officer, Liguo Liu, vice general manager of Beijing Wowjoint is expected to become CFAC’s senior vice president of marketing and sales, and Yasheng Liu, manager of Business Development of Beijing Wowjoint is expected to become CFAC’s senior vice president of logistics and administration. Further, each of Messrs. Yabin Liu, Fude Zhang, Liguo Liu and Yasheng Liu who are referred to below as executive employees, are expected to enter into employment agreements with CFAC in connection with the acquisition. A summary of the employment agreements can be found under the sections entitled “Directors, Management, Corporate Government and Compensation—Employment Agreements.” In addition, as Messrs. Yabin Liu, Fude Zhang, Liguo Liu and Yasheng Liu are also shareholders of Realink Group Limited, one of shareholders of Giant Nova Holdings Limited, it is possible that potential conflicts of interest may arise with respect to their obligations as shareholders of Wowjoint.

Satisfaction of the 80% Test
 
According to the agreements CFAC entered into in connection with its initial public offering, CFAC’s initial target business or businesses in the aggregate must have a fair market value, as determined by its board of directors, equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of the business combination. The fair market value of Wowjoint was calculated by CFAC’s management team to be $132,595,866, which represents approximately 389% of the balance in the trust account as of June 30, 2009, which were approximately $34.1 million (not including potential payments to redeeming shareholders).
 
CFAC determined the enterprise value of Wowjoint by comparing it to 17 public companies having certain characteristics similar to Wowjoint. These companies were selected because they are producers of construction equipment similar in nature to Wowjoint’s products. Although construction equipment is the main business for each of these companies, most of them offer different product lines and some of them have wider product offerings than Wowjoint does. They serve various customers in different industries and in different countries. Three of the companies are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, three on NASDAQ, two on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in China, one on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in China, one on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, three on the Tokyo Exchange, one on the Prime Standard of the German Stock Exchange, one on the Paris Stock Exchange, one on the Vienna Stock Exchange and one on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki. CFAC used the median of the following ratios and applied the ratio to Wowjoint in order to determine its enterprise value: Enterprise Value/Revenue and Enterprise Value/Net Income. For Enterprise Value/Revenue, the median of the ratio was the same as the average of the ratio. For Enterprise Value/Net Income, the median of the ratio was less than the average and the results of such calculations were discounted by 10% due to the illiquidity of Wowjoint’s securities. The average and median of each of the ratios for the year 2009 (which were calculated using estimated financial results for the year 2009 based on I/B/E/S Earnings Estimates from Bloomberg on October 9, 2009 and the respective closing prices of their common equity as of October 9, 2009) are as follows:

Average
 
EV/R
   
1.1

EV/Net Income

Wowjoint’s revenue for the year ended August 31, 2009 was $44,622,159, and its Net Income was $9,783,789. Therefore, based on the median ratios specified above, the average enterprise value was determined to be $132,595,866, as further detailed in the following table:

CFAC’s board believes that the management is qualified to make this analysis and concluded that the business combination with Wowjoint met the 80% asset test requirement without recourse to a fairness opinion from an independent source, because of the financial skills and background of its management.

15

 
 
·
by written notice by Wowjoint shareholders to CFAC or by written notice by CFAC to Wowjoint shareholders if the approval by shareholders of CFAC with respect to the acquisition is not obtained at CFAC’s shareholders’ meeting (as the same may be adjourned or postponed from time to time but not later than May 20, 2010).
 
If permitted under applicable law, either CFAC or the shareholders of Wowjoint may waive conditions for their own respective benefit and consummate the acquisition even though one or more of these conditions have not been met. CFAC cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied or waived or that the acquisition will occur.
 
Trust Account Proceeds
 
If the acquisition of Wowjoint is completed, the funds remaining in the trust account after (a) payments to public shareholders who exercise their redemption rights, (b) payment of the deferred underwriter’s underwriting commission per the term outlined in the share purchase agreement, (c) payments to CFAC’s legal, accounting and other outside professional advisors and consultants for their professional services incurred in connection with the acquisition and this proxy statement, and (d) repayments of the shareholders’ loan by Mr. Chun Yi Hao and Ms. Hope Ni, if any, will be released from the trust account and retained by the surviving or combined company for operating capital subsequent to the closing of this acquisition.
 
If the Acquisition Is Not Approved
 
If CFAC does not consummate a business combination by May 20, 2010, it may not have sufficient time to complete a different business combination and will dissolve and liquidate, unless and until it receives shareholders’ approval for an extension of 12 months more. To avoid being required to liquidate unless prior to the expiration of the 24 month period, call a meeting of CFAC shareholders for the purpose of soliciting their approval to extend the date before which CFAC must complete its business combination by an additional 12 months, as provided in its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, CFAC needs, by May 20, 2010, to consummate a business combination. Under its charter as currently in effect, if CFAC does not acquire at least majority control of a target business by May 20, 2010, CFAC will dissolve and distribute to its public shareholders the amount in the trust account plus any remaining interests earned. Following dissolution, CFAC would no longer exist as a corporation. For a more complete discussion of the procedures that CFAC intends to follow in the event of a liquidation and dissolution, including possible consequences to shareholders if its liabilities exceed CFAC’s assets, see “Information About CFAC —Liquidation if no Business Combination.”
 
Quotation/Listing
 
CFAC’s shares, warrants and units are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTC”) under the symbol CFQCF.OB, CFQWF.OB and CFQUF.OB, respectively. Following the consummation of the acquisition, the combined company may select to either keep the trading on the OTC, or decide to apply to list each of these securities on the Nasdaq Global Market. But there is no assurance that such listing application will be approved. If CFAC is not approved for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, CFAC anticipates that it will continue to be quoted on the OTC.
 
Material US Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
The material US federal income tax consequences of the acquisition of Wowjoint are discussed in conjunction with the tax consequences associated with the acquisition. Please see the section entitled “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations of the Acquisition.”
 
16

 
Anticipated Accounting Treatment
 
The acquisition will be accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” since, immediately following completion of the transaction, the shareholders of Wowjoint immediately prior to the acquisition will have effective control of CFAC through (1) their approximately 51.7% shareholder interest in the combined entity, assuming no share redemptions (59.8% in the event of maximum share redemptions), (2) majority representation on the board of directors (initially four out of five members), and (3) being named to all of the senior executive officer positions. As this transaction is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition, all direct costs of the transaction will be charged in according to reverse acquisition accounting.
 
Regulatory Matters
 
The acquisition and the transactions contemplated by the share purchase agreement are not subject to any federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, including the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, or HSR Act, except for filings necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the acquisition proposal with the Registrar of the Cayman Islands.

RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement, before you decide whether to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to adopt the acquisition proposal. You should pay particular attention to the fact that CFAC is a Cayman Islands company and the combined company after the acquisition of Wowjoint will remain as a Cayman Island company, but with substantial operations in China. As a result, it would be subject to legal and regulatory environments that differ in many respects from those of the United States.
 
Risks Associated to Wowjoint’s Business and Its Industry
 
Actual overall risks or costs of Wowjoint’s contracts may exceed its initial evaluation and lead to cost overruns, resulting in a reduction in revenues, lower profitability or even losses on such contracts.
 
Wowjoint bases a number of contracts in part on cost estimates that are subject to a number of assumptions, including assumptions about future economic conditions, cost and availability of raw materials and labor. However, these assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. In addition, Wowjoint may not be able to reduce its costs through its cost management scheme. Any deficiencies in internal cost control or unreasonable price increases in raw materials could result in cost overruns.
 
Wowjoint currently generates, and expect to continue to generate, a substantial portion of its revenues from fixed-price contracts. The terms in these contracts require Wowjoint to complete the delivery of equipment and machinery for a fixed price and therefore expose it to cost overruns. Cost overruns, whether due to inefficiency, inaccurate estimates or other factors, result in lower profit or a loss on a contract. As a result, Wowjoint will only realize profits on these contracts if Wowjoint successfully estimate its costs and avoid cost overruns. Other variations and risk inherent in the performance of fixed price contracts, such as delays caused by technical issues, any inability to obtain the requisite permits and approvals, may cause its actual overall risks and costs to differ from its original estimates despite any buffer Wowjoint may have built into its bids for increases in labor and material costs. Wowjoint cannot guarantee that it will not encounter cost overruns or delays on its current and future contracts. If such cost overrun or delays occur, Wowjoint could experience an increase in cost exceeding its budget or be required to be penalties with a consequent reduction in, or elimination of, the profits on its contracts.
 
Some of Wowjoint’s contracts contain price adjustment clauses, which allow it to recoup additional costs incurred as a result of unexpected increase in raw material costs. However, Wowjoint is typically required to bear a portion of the increased cost. From time to time, Wowjoint may be required to perform extra or “change order” work under its contracts despite the absence of prior agreements with its customers on the scope or price of the work to be performed. Even though Wowjoint’s contracts generally contain clauses to adjust for customer to pay for the extra work, Wowjoint may be required to fund the cost of such work until the change order is approved and funded by the customer. In addition, the performance of the extra work may cause delays in its other contract commitments and may have a negative impact on its ability to meet specified deadlines.
 
Wowjoint relies on third parties to complete part of its equipment manufacturing, which may be adversely affected by the sub-standard performance or non-performance of such third parties.
 
Wowjoint typically engages third-party subcontractors to perform a portion of the work under its contracts, in order to minimize the need to employ a large workforce that includes skilled labor in different areas and semi-skilled labor, as well as to maximize its-cost efficiency and flexibility. However, Wowjoint may not be able to monitor the performance of these subcontractors as efficiently as its in-house staff. In addition, its inability to engage qualified subcontractors could affect its ability to maintain the quality of its products. Subcontracting exposes Wowjoint to risks associated with non-performance, delayed performance, or sub-standard performance by subcontractors. Wowjoint may also suffer losses or a lesser profit margin if the amounts it pays its subcontractors exceeds its original estimates. As a result, it may experience deterioration in quality or delivery of its equipment, incur additional costs due to the delays or at a higher price in sourcing the services, or be subject to liability under the relevant contract for its subcontractor’s performances. Such events could impact upon Wowjoint’s profitability, financial performance and reputation, and result in litigation or damage claims.

18

 
Wowjoint may experience delays in accounts receivable, progress payments or the release of retention money by its customers, which may affect its liquidity.
 
Like other companies in the construction and construction equipment industry in China, Wowjoint typically receives progress payments from its customers with reference to the value of work completed at specified milestones, as well as receives final payments upon the delivery of complete equipment. Wowjoint receives installment payment in the process of equipment manufacturing and usually a significant percentage of contract value would be billed upon the delivery of the equipment to its customer.
 
Usually, Wowjoint is either requested by its customers to secure a letter of credit issued by a licensed commercial bank or a portion of the contract value is withheld by the customer as retention money, normally 5% to 10%, to be paid or released after the warranty period (generally one year after the completion of the respective equipment and products).
 
In the event that Wowjoint encounters delays or defaults in the payments of accounts receivable or progress payments by its customers, it may be required to make a working capital investment to maintain its day to day operations. Wowjoint cannot assure you that the accounts receivable, progress payments or retention money will be remitted by its customers on a timely basis or those delays or defaults in payment will not affect its financial condition and results of operations.
 
Wowjoint’s revenues depend on gaining new customers and it does not have long-term purchase commitments from its customers.
 
Wowjoint’s revenues result from individual equipment sales, which upon sales produce limited amount of ongoing revenues from equipment maintenance and other services. In order to maintain and expand its business, Wowjoint must be able to replenish new orders in its pipeline on a continuous basis. Its potential customers could choose products of its competitors instead. Should they do so, Wowjoint could suffer a decline in revenues and profitability.
 
Wowjoint expects to rely increasingly on its proprietary products and if Wowjoint becomes involved in an intellectual property dispute, it may be forced to spend a significant amount of time and financial resources to resolve such intellectual property dispute, diverting time and resources away from its business and operations.
 
Wowjoint’s business is based on a number of proprietary products, which are protected by patents filed in the PRC. Wowjoint expects its future growth will rely on these proprietary products to meet customers’ demands. However, if third parties should infringe on any of Wowjoint’s intellectual property rights, Wowjoint may need to devote significant time and financial resources to attempt to halt the infringement, and it may not be successful in such a dispute. Conversely, in the event of an infringement claim by third parties against Wowjoint, Wowjoint may be required to spend a significant amount of time and financial resources to defend against such claim and it may not be successful in defending itself. Any litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of its management resources and could materially and adversely affect its business and operating results.

Wowjoint currently relies upon an adequate supply of raw materials at acceptable prices and quality in a timely manner.
 
Wowjoint’s successful operations depend on its ability to obtain sufficient quantities of raw materials at acceptable prices and quality in a timely manner. Wowjoint has historically relied on a few suppliers and should it subsequently lose any of these suppliers, it will be forced to seek other suppliers for raw materials. It may be difficult to replace. Wowjoint is exposed to the market risk of fluctuations in certain commodity prices for raw materials, such as steel and electronic parts utilized in its products. The price and availability of such raw materials may vary significantly from year to year due to factors such as China’s import restrictions, consumer demand, producer capacity, market conditions and costs of materials. Wowjoint does not have long-term contracts with its suppliers or guarantees of supply. Should the prices of raw materials rise too high, Wowjoint may experience lower than expected profit margins on its existing contracts.
 
Wowjoint may be exposed to potential product liability claim, which may affect its profitability and result in damages to its reputation.
 
A majority of Wowjoint’s products are large scale heavy duty machines, which require skilled labor to operate. The occurrence of failures in the design, quality control, installation and assembly, and operation of these machines, as well as accidents, geological catastrophes and other construction field hazards may result in injuries to personnel, losses of lives and damages to property despite proper repeated testing by Wowjoint before and after delivery of these machines to its customers. Existing PRC laws and regulations do not require Wowjoint to maintain third party liability insurance to cover product liability claims. Wowjoint currently does not carry product liability insurance. In the event a product liability claim is brought against Wowjoint, the lawsuit may, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, result in damages to Wowjoint’s reputation, loss of contracts, inhibit its ability to win future contracts, substantial costs in litigation, product recalls and loss of revenue.
 
Wowjoint may be inadequately insured and may not be able to obtain adequate insurance against potential product liability claim.
 
China’s financial market is not as sophisticated as the market in the developed countries and regions, such as the United States, Europe Union, Hong Kong or Taiwan, Singapore. The choice and selection of insurance policies to cover the products liability of Wowjoint products may not be widely available, which may result in Wowjoint’s inability to obtain adequate insurance coverage against risks in product liability.
 
Wowjoint’s success depends on stringent quality control and timely delivery of its products, failure in such will adversely impact its financial performance and result in damages to its reputation.
 
Wowjoint designs, manufactures and installs its products based on the specific requirements of each customer. Wowjoint’s ability in obtaining future orders depends on its ability to maintain and uphold the performance, reliability and quality standards required by its customers. Failure in such, Wowjoint may experience delays in the collection of accounts receivables, additional expenses in warranty and maintenance services, and reduced, cancelled or discontinued orders. Additionally, performance, reliability or quality claims by its customers, with or without merit, could result in costly and time-consuming litigation, which would require significant time and attention of management and may result in significant monetary damages.
 
Wowjoint depends upon customers concentrated in the infrastructure construction industry. A reduction in government spending in infrastructure development could adversely affect its performance.
 
The vast majority of Wowjoint sales are generated from customers concentrated in the construction of railways and highways. Any reduction or delay in the capital spending in the PRC infrastructure development could cause a significant decline in Wowjoint’s sales and profitability.

20

 
Wowjoint’s current products are custom-made for specific projects. A majority of its revenue is non-recurring, which provides no guarantee of future success.
 
Wowjoint is a solution provider of customized heavy duty large scale equipment for general construction. Each of its products is relatively unique to the construction projects it is designed to operate in. Although most designs provide flexibility and capacity to be modified, Wowjoint is usually engaged by its customer on a per project basis. Thus, a vast majority of its sales is non-recurring in nature and does not guarantee for repetitive purchase. Therefore, Wowjoint cannot assure you that its sales and profitability is sustainable in the future.
 
Wowjoint’s plans to enter the international construction machinery and equipment market may not prove successful, and capital and management resources may have been diverted to such plans instead of focusing on the domestic Chinese market.
 
To date, Wowjoint has conducted the majority of its business within China. It has been exploring business opportunities in selected markets outside China and strategically expanding its global footprint. Expansion into new markets outside China exposes Wowjoint to substantial risks, such as currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, trade embargoes, differences in general business environment, higher competitions from established incumbent players in these markets, legal and regulatory requirements, potential adverse tax consequences, insufficient experiences dealing with local payment and business practices, competition and protectionism. In addition, the additional demands on its management from these activities may detract from their efforts in the domestic Chinese market, causing the operating results in its principal market to be adversely affected.
 
Wowjoint may not be able to retain, recruit and train adequate management and engineering personnel, and its inability to attract and retain qualified personnel may limit its developments.
 
Wowjoint’s success is dependent to a large extent on its ability to retain the services of its executive management personnel, who have contributed to its growth and expansion. The industry experiences, extensive expertise and contributions of its executive directors and other members of its senior management are essential to its continuing success. Accordingly, the loss of their services, particularly those of Mr. Yabin Liu and Mr. Fude Zhang, may be difficult to replace and could have an adverse affect on its operations and future business prospects.
 
In addition, Wowjoint’s continued operations are dependent upon its ability to identify and recruit adequate engineering personnel in China. It requires trained graduates of varying levels of experience and a flexible work force of semi-skilled operators. Given the current rate of economic growth in China, competition for qualified personnel will be substantial. Wage rates that Wowjoint must offer its employees to retain qualified personnel may not enable it to remain competitive.
 
Wowjoint currently enjoys certain preferential tax treatment in China; there is no assurance that this will continue.
 
Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, prior to January 1, 2008, the Chinese companies are subject to Enterprise Income Taxes (“EIT”) at a statutory rate of 33%, which comprises 30% national income tax and 3% local income tax. Beginning January 1, 2008, the new EIT law replaced the existing laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The new standard EIT rate of 25% replaced the 33% rate currently applicable to both DES and FIEs, except for High Tech companies who pay a reduced rate of 15%. Companies established before March 16, 2007 will continue to enjoy tax holiday treatment approved by local government for a grace period of the next 5 years or until the tax holiday term is completed, whichever is sooner.

21

 
Wowjoint currently qualifies as a High Technology company and is entitled to preferential tax treatment and enjoys the benefit of a reduced income tax rate at 15%. It has received a 50% tax exemption (Tax Exemption Certificate) from the tax authorities in the PRC for corporate enterprise income tax for the years ended 2007 through 2009. The approved income tax rate for the company is 7.5%. The reduced income tax rate is applicable until December 31, 2009.
 
Wowjoint’s business and financial performance may be adversely affected if the PRC government reduces or postpones public spending on infrastructure construction.
 
Wowjoint’s largest customers are business entities, such as project and construction companies, established and directed by the central and local governments of the PRC. The future growth of the infrastructure construction industry in China depends primarily upon the continued availability of major infrastructure projects. The nature, extent and timing of those projects will, however, be determined by the interplay of a variety of factors, including the PRC Government’s spending in the infrastructure construction industry in China, as well as the general conditions and prospects of China’s economy. Since the majority of funding for the infrastructure construction projects in China comes from governmental budgets, implementation of the projects relies, to a significant degree, on the PRC government’s public policy and spending. Changes in public policy or government budgets may therefore have an impact on Wowjoint’s business operations and financial performance.
 
The PRC government’s spending on infrastructure has historically been, and will continue to be, cyclical in nature and vulnerable to China’s economic growth and direction. The PRC government has, in recent years, implemented various policies in an effort to control the growth rate of certain industries and to limit inflation, which has impacted upon the level of public spending on infrastructure construction projects. A significant decrease or delay in public spending on infrastructure construction in China could reduce the number of available construction projects, which in turn reduces the number of heavy duty construction equipment required, and thus reduces the market demand for Wowjoint’s core business.
 
If Wowjoint cannot compete successfully for market share against other non-standard construction equipment and machinery companies, it may not achieve sufficient revenues and its business could suffer.
 
The market for Wowjoint’s products and services is characterized by intense competition and rapid technological advances. Wowjoint’s products and services compete with a multitude of products and services developed, manufactured and marketed by others, as well as competition from new market entrants in the future. Existing or future competing products may be of higher quality, contain more sophisticated technology, provide greater utility or lower costs and other benefits from their intended uses, or may offer comparable performance at lower cost. If Wowjoint’s products fail to capture and maintain market share, it may not achieve sufficient product revenues, and its business could suffer.
 
Wowjoint may face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, which could adversely affect its operations.
 
Wowjoint’s business could be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of avian flu, severe acute respiratory syndrome or another epidemic. From time to time, there have been reports on the occurrences of avian flu in various parts of China, including a few confirmed human cases and deaths. Any prolonged recurrence of avian flu, severe acute respiratory syndrome or other adverse public health developments in China or elsewhere in Asia may have a material and adverse effect on Wowjoint’s business operations.

22

 
Risks Associated with Conducting Business in China
 
Wowjoint’s results of operations, financial position and prospects are subject to a certain degree to the economic, political and legal developments of the PRC.
 
Political and economic policies of the PRC government could affect Wowjoint's business and results of operations.
 
The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in a number of respects, including:
 
 
·
its structure;
 
 
·
level of government involvement;
 
 
·
level of development;
 
 
·
growth rate;
 
 
·
level of capital reinvestment;
 
 
·
control of capital reinvestment;
 
 
·
control of foreign exchange; and
 
 
·
allocation of resources.
 
Prior to the PRC government’s adoption of reform and the “Open Door” policies in 1978, China was a planned economy. Since then, the PRC government has implemented a number of measures to encourage growth and to guide the allocation of resources, thus resulting in significant economic and social development in the past 30 years. China has since transitioned into a more market-oriented economy.
 
Although the PRC government still owns a significant portion of the productive assets in China, economic reform policies since the late 1970s have encouraged the development of autonomous and privately-owned businesses, the utilization of market forces and the establishment of good corporate governance measures in China. CFAC cannot predict whether changes resulting from these reforms in China’s political, economic and social conditions and policies, or in relevant laws and regulations, will have any adverse effects on Wowjoint's current or future business, operational results or financial condition.
 
In addition, Wowjoint's ability to continue to sustain and expand its business is dependent on a number of factors, including general economic and capital market conditions and credit availability from banks or other lenders. Recently, the PRC government has articulated a need to control the rate of economic growth and has been reported to be tightening its monetary policies, including increasing interest rates on bank loans and deposits and tightening the money supply to control growth in lending. CFAC cannot give any assurance that further measures to control growth in lending will not be implemented in a manner that may adversely affect Wowjoint’s future growth and profitability. Furthermore, CFAC cannot assure you that Wowjoint’s historical economic and market conditions will continue, or that it will be able to sustain its growth.

23

 
Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could limit the legal protections available to CFAC and its shareholders.
 
Following the acquisition, CFAC will conduct substantially all of its business through Wowjoint’s operating subsidiaries and/or associated companies in the PRC. Wowjoint’s operating subsidiaries and/or associated companies are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws applicable to foreign-invested enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since 1979, a series of new PRC laws and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, since the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and the enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties which may limit legal protections available to Wowjoint and its shareholders. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.
 
Changes in the PRC regulatory environment could affect Wowjoint’s business and results of operation.
 
The PRC government has been active in the macro-economic control and regulation of its economy, in particular in industries such as electricity generation, resources, construction, metallurgy, and transportation, which are of great importance to the national economy of the PRC. Many economic and industrial policies in relation to these industries have been written into numerous administrative regulations to regulate various aspects of these industries, including barriers to entry, investment restrictions, and environment protection regulations. Thus, changes in PRC laws relating to these industries could affect the demand for construction equipment, and consequently affect Wowjoint’s operating results.
 
Fluctuations in China's economy may slow the growth of Wowjoint and reduce its profitability.
 
China has been one of the world’s fastest growing economies as measured by GDP in recent years. It has also been one of the driving forces for the heightened demand in the world’s construction equipment industry. However, China may not be able to sustain such a growth rate. In addition, a slowdown in the economies of the United States, the European Union and certain Asian nations, with which China has important trade relationships, may adversely affect the economic growth of China, which may in turn lead to a decrease in demand for China’s construction equipment and correspondingly, demand for Wowjoint’s services. Wowjoint cannot assure you that its financial condition and operational results, as well as its future prospects, will not be adversely affected by an economic downturn in China.
 
It may be difficult to effect service of process upon or enforce judgment against the directors or senior officers of Wowjoint who live in the PRC.
 
Most of Wowjoint’s directors and members of senior management reside in the PRC, and their assets are also located in the PRC. Therefore, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process upon some of its directors or members of senior management inside the PRC or to enforce against any one of them in the PRC any judgments obtained from non-PRC courts. The PRC does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, the Cayman Islands and some other Western countries. Therefore, recognition and enforcement in the PRC of judgments of a court in any of these jurisdictions in relation to any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult or impossible.
 
24

 
Accounting laws in China mandate accounting practices which may not be consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and therefore Wowjoint’s financials and their interpretation involve uncertainties.
 
The PRC accounting laws require an annual “statutory audit” to be performed in accordance with PRC accounting standards and the books of foreign invested enterprises to be maintained in accordance with Chinese accounting laws. These Chinese accounting practices may not be consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Article 14 of the PRC Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise Law requires a wholly foreign-owned enterprise to submit certain periodic fiscal reports and statements to designated financial and tax authorities. Noncompliance with such requirements may cause revocation of Wowjoint’s business license. The translation of the financial statements from the requirements of the PRC to U.S. GAAP requires interpretation and exercise of judgment. This may increase costs or cause additional errors. Moreover, Wowjoint’s PRC accounting records may not convert directly into the needed U.S. GAAP accounting records, causing inaccuracies or misstatements that could negatively impact CFAC’s ability to get a clean audit opinion in the U.S. or may lead to fines by certain governmental bodies, which could negatively impact CFAC’s financial performance and/or share price.
 
Changes in PRC tax laws may result in Wowjoint being subject to a higher income tax rate.
 
Under the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law that became effective on January 1, 2008 (the “New EIT Law”), enterprises organized under the laws of jurisdictions outside the PRC with their de facto management bodies located within the PRC may be considered PRC resident enterprises and therefore subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their worldwide income. The New EIT Law, however, does not define the term “de facto management bodies”. If, among other things, a portion of Wowjoint’s management continues to be located in the PRC, CFAC may be considered a PRC resident enterprise by PRC tax administration and therefore subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on Wowjoint worldwide income, which may have a material adverse effect on Wowjoint’s financial results. In addition, although the New EIT Law provides that “dividend income between qualified resident enterprises” is exempted income, it is still unclear as to what is considered “qualified resident enterprise” under the New EIT Law.
 
After the proposed acquisition with Wowjoint, most of CFAC’s assets will be located in China and substantially all of its revenue will be derived from its operations in China. Accordingly, CFAC’s results of operations and prospects will be subject, to a significant extent, to the economic, political and legal developments in China.
 
The PRC’s economic, political and social conditions, as well as government policies, could affect Wowjoint’s business. The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects.
 
Since 1978, China has been one of the world’s fastest-growing economies in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) growth. CFAC cannot assure you, however, that such growth will be sustained in the future. If in the future China’s economy experiences a downturn or grows at a slower rate than expected, there may be less demand for spending in certain industries. The PRC’s economic growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage sustainable economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. The PRC government has also begun to use macroeconomic tools to decelerate the rate of Chinese economic growth. Some of these measures benefit the overall PRC economy, but may also have a negative effect on Wowjoint.
 
The PRC economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although in recent years the PRC government has implemented measures emphasizing the use of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. It also exercises significant control over PRC economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. CFAC cannot assure you that China’s economic, political or legal systems will not develop in a way that becomes detrimental to Wowjoint’s business, prospects, financial conditions and results of operations.

25

 
If the PRC government finds that the possible future agreements that establish the structure for operating Wowjoint’s China businesses do not comply with PRC governmental restrictions on foreign investment, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, CFAC could be subject to significant penalties or be forced to relinquish its interests in those operations.
 
PRC regulations currently prohibit or restrict foreign ownership in certain industries.
 
If CFAC or any of its potential future subsidiaries or affiliated entities are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations (for example, if CFAC is deemed to be holding equity interests in certain of its affiliated entities in which direct foreign ownership is prohibited) the relevant PRC regulatory authorities might have the discretion to:
 
 
·
revoke the business and operating licenses of possible future PRC subsidiaries or affiliates;
 
 
·
confiscate relevant income and impose fines and other penalties;
 
 
·
discontinue or restrict possible future PRC subsidiaries’ or affiliates’ operations;
 
 
·
require CFAC or possible future PRC subsidiaries or affiliates to restructure the relevant ownership structure or operations;
 
 
·
restrict or prohibit CFAC’s use of the proceeds of this offering to finance its businesses and operations in China;
 
 
·
restrict or prohibit remittance of any profits or dividends abroad by CFAC’s future PRC subsidiaries or affiliates; or
 
 
·
impose conditions or requirements with which CFAC or possible future PRC subsidiaries or affiliates may not be able to comply.
 
The imposition of any of these penalties could result in a material and adverse effect on CFAC’s ability to conduct its business.
 
In addition, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities may impose further penalties. Any of these consequences could have a material and adverse effect on CFAC’s operations.
 
In many cases, existing regulations with regard to investments from foreign investors and domestic private capital lack detailed explanations and operational procedures, and are subject to interpretation, which may change over time. CFAC thus cannot be certain how the regulations will be applied to its business, either currently or in the future. Moreover, new regulations may be adopted or the interpretation of existing regulations may change, any of which could result in similar penalties, resulting in a material and adverse effect on its ability to conduct its business.
 
26

 
Contractual arrangements Wowjoint enter into with potential future subsidiaries and affiliated entities or acquisitions of offshore entities that conduct PRC operations through affiliates in China may be subject to a high level of scrutiny by the PRC tax authorities.
 
Under PRC law, arrangements and transactions among related parties may be subject to audit or challenge by the PRC tax authorities. If any of the transactions Wowjoint enter into with potential future subsidiaries and affiliated entities are found not to be on an arm’s-length basis, or to result in an unreasonable reduction in tax under PRC law, the PRC tax authorities have the authority to disallow any tax savings, adjust the profits and losses of such possible future PRC entities and assess late payment interest and penalties. A finding by the PRC tax authorities that Wowjoint are ineligible for any such tax savings, or that any of Wowjoint’s possible future affiliated entities are not eligible for tax exemptions, would substantially increase its possible future taxes and thus reduce Wowjoint’s net income and the value of your investment. In addition, in the event that in connection with an acquisition of an offshore entity that conducted its PRC operations through affiliates in China, the sellers of such entities failed to pay any taxes required under PRC law, the PRC tax authorities could require Wowjoint to withhold and pay the tax, together with late-payment interest and penalties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a negative impact on Wowjoint’s operating results and financial condition.
 
Potential future PRC targets or strategic partners may have previously engaged or may engage in activities without appropriate licenses or approvals or outside the authorized scope of their business licenses or permitted activities. This could subject those companies to fines and other penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on CFAC’s business.
 
Potential future targets or strategic partners may have previously engaged or may currently engage in activities without appropriate licenses or approvals or outside the authorized scope of their business licenses or permitted activities. If CFAC or its strategic partners do not receive any necessary licenses or approvals, broaden the authorized business scope or narrow the scope of the activities as appropriate, CFAC or the relevant strategic partner may have to cease operations or contract its operations to third parties who hold the appropriate licenses. In addition, counterparties to contracts Wowjoint makes when engaging in activities that require licenses may legally default on those contracts if CFAC or the relevant strategic partner does not possess the appropriate licenses. The occurrence of any of these events would have an adverse effect on its business and results of operations.
 
PRC authorities may refuse to grant any licenses CFAC may seek. For companies that exceeded the scope of their business licenses or permitted activities or operated without a license or needed approval in the past but are now compliant, as well as for any companies that may currently operate without the appropriate license or approval or outside the scope of their business license or permitted activities, the relevant PRC authorities have the authority to impose fines or other penalties, sometimes as much as five to ten times the amount of the illegal revenues and may require the disgorgement of profits or revocation of the business license. Due to the inconsistent nature of regulatory enforcements in the PRC, those of Wowjoint’s possible future PRC strategic partners that exceeded the scope of their business licenses or permitted activities or operated without the appropriate licenses or approvals in the past or do so in the future may be subject to the above fines or penalties, including the disgorgement of profits or revocation of the business license of one or more of these companies. These fines or penalties may have a material adverse effect on its business.
 
Because Chinese law governs almost all of any target business’ current material agreements, CFAC may not be able to enforce its rights within the PRC or elsewhere, which could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital.
 
CFAC believes that it is highly likely that Chinese law governs almost all of any target business’ current material agreements, some or many of which could be with Chinese governmental agencies. CFAC cannot assure you that the target business will be able to enforce any of its material agreements or that remedies will be available outside of the PRC. The Chinese legal system is similar to a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedential value. Although legislation in China over the past 25 years has significantly improved the protection afforded to various forms of foreign investment and contractual arrangements in China, these laws, regulations and legal requirements are relatively new. Due to the limited volume of published judicial decisions, their non-binding nature, the short history since their enactments, the discrete understanding of the judges or government agencies of the same legal provision, inconsistent professional abilities of the judicators, and the inclination to protect local interest in the court rooms, interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations involve uncertainties, which could limit the legal protection available to CFAC, and foreign investors, including you. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of Wowjoint future agreements could result in a significant loss of business, business opportunities or capital and could have a material adverse impact on CFAC business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, CFAC may not be aware of its violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China, regardless of outcome, may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

27

 
Wowjoint’s business activities are subject to certain PRC laws and regulations.
 
As its production and operations are carried out in the PRC, Wowjoint is subject to certain PRC laws and regulations. Pursuant to PRC laws and regulations, the breach or non-compliance with such laws and regulations may result in the PRC authorities suspending, withdrawing or terminating its business license, licenses and permits on heavy equipment and machinery, causing Wowjoint to cease production of all or certain of its products, and this would materially and adversely affect its business and financial performance.
 
If the PRC imposes restrictions to reduce inflation, future economic growth in the PRC could be severely curtailed which could lead to a significant decrease in Wowjoint’s profitability.
 
While the economy of the PRC has experienced rapid growth, this growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and in different geographical areas of the country. Rapid economic growth can lead to growth in the supply of money and rising inflation. In order to control inflation in the past, the PRC has imposed controls on bank credits, limits on loans for fixed assets and restrictions on state bank lending. If similar restrictions are imposed, it may lead to a slowing of economic growth and decrease the interest in the services or products Wowjoint may ultimately offer leading to a decline in Wowjoint’s profitability.
 
As a result of merger and acquisition regulations which became effective on September 8, 2006 relating to acquisitions of assets and equity interests of Chinese companies by foreign persons, it is expected that acquisitions will take longer and be subject to economic scrutiny by the PRC government authorities such that CFAC may not be able to complete a transaction, negotiate a transaction that is acceptable to its shareholders, or sufficiently protect shareholder’s interests in a transaction.
 
On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, namely, the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”), the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (“SASAC”), the State Administration for Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC), the China Securities Regulatory Committee (“CSRC”), and the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”), jointly adopted the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, which became effective on September 8, 2006 (the “M&A Rules”). These comprehensive rules govern the approval process by which a Chinese company may participate in an acquisition of its assets or its equity interests and by which a Chinese company may obtain public trading of its securities on a securities exchange outside the PRC.
 
Although prior to September 8, 2006 there was a complex series of regulations administered by a combination of provincial and centralized agencies in place for acquisition approval of Chinese enterprises by foreign investors, the M&A Rules have largely centralized and expanded the approval process to MOFCOM, SAIC, SAFE or its branch offices, SASAC, and the CSRC. The M&A Rules established, among other things, additional procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the MOFCOM be notified in advance when a foreign investor acquires equity or assets of a PRC domestic enterprise. Complying with the requirements of the M&A Rules to complete such transactions could be time-consuming and involves significant uncertainty, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the MOFCOM, may delay or inhibit CFAC's ability to complete such transactions, which could affect CFAC’s ability to expand its business or maintain its market share.

28

 
Depending on the structure of the transaction, these regulations will require the Chinese parties to make a series of applications and supplemental applications to the aforementioned agencies, some of which must be made within strict time limits and require approvals from one or more of the aforementioned agencies. The application process has been supplemented to require the presentation of economic data concerning a transaction, introducing aspects of economic and substantive analysis of the target business and the acquirer and the terms of the transaction by MOFCOM and the other governing agencies as well as an evaluation of compliance with legal requirements. The application process for approval now includes submissions of an appraisal report, an evaluation report and the acquisition agreement, depending on the structure of the transaction. An employee settlement plan for the target company shall also be included in the application.
 
The M&A Rules also prohibit a transaction at an acquisition price obviously lower than the appraised value of the Chinese business or assets. The regulations require that in certain transaction structures, the consideration must be paid within strict time periods, generally not in excess of a year. In the agreement reached by the foreign acquirer, target, creditors and other parties, there must be no harm to third parties and the public interest in the allocation of assets and liabilities being assumed or acquired. These aspects of the regulations will limit CFAC’s ability to negotiate various terms of the acquisition, including aspects of the initial consideration, contingent consideration, holdback provisions, indemnification provisions and provisions relating to the assumption and allocation of assets and liabilities. Therefore, CFAC may not be able to negotiate a transaction with terms that will satisfy its investors and protect its shareholders’ interests in an acquisition of a Chinese business or assets.
 
It is expected that compliance with the regulations will be more time consuming than in the past, will be more costly for the Chinese parties and will permit the government much more extensive evaluation and control over the terms of the transaction. Therefore, acquisitions in China may not be able to be completed because the terms of the transaction may not satisfy aspects of the approval process and may not be completed, even if approved, if they are not consummated within the time permitted by the approvals granted.
 
The M&A Rules have introduced national security review and industry protection and have incorporated anti-trust review in the acquisition of Chinese companies and assets which may limit CFAC’s ability to effect an acquisition.
 
Under the PRC M&A Rules, acquisitions of Chinese domestic companies relating to “important industries” that may affect the national economic security or result in the transfer of “actual control” of companies having “famous trademarks” or “traditional Chinese brand names” must be reported and approved by the relevant agencies. The “important industries,” “famous trademarks” or the “traditional Chinese brand names” are often difficult to define, and therefore make us vulnerable to the government scrutiny under these reviews.
 
The M&A Rules also provide for antitrust review requirements for certain large transactions or transactions involving large companies and roll-up transactions with the same effect in the relevant Chinese market. In addition, certain mergers and acquisitions among foreign companies occurring outside of the PRC could also be subject to antitrust review in China which is similar to United States anti-trust law concepts. Exemptions may be sought from the MOFCOM and SAIC. Notwithstanding the M&A Rules, a new anti-monopoly law was recently promulgated on August 30th, 2007 and took effect on August 1st, 2008, replaced and supplemented the above provisions.
 
29


The proposed acquisition with Wowjoint will have to comply with these regulations and may require additional approval or abandonment if CFAC is not able to satisfy the requirements of the governmental authorities.
 
Ambiguities in the M&A Rules may make it difficult for CFAC to properly comply with all applicable rules and may affect CFAC’s ability to consummate a business combination.
 
Although the M&A Rules set forth many requirements that have to be followed, there are many ambiguities with respect to the meaning of many provisions of the M&A Rules. Moreover, the ambiguities give regulators wide latitude in the enforcement of regulations and approval of transactions. Therefore, CFAC cannot predict the extent to which the M&A Rules will apply to the proposed transaction with Wowjoint, and therefore, there may be uncertainty in whether or not the transaction will be completed until the approval process is under way or until the preliminary approvals are obtained. This may negatively impact CFAC’s ability to consummate the proposed business combination.
 
Any devaluation of currencies used in the PRC could negatively impact Wowjoint’s results of operations and any appreciation thereof could cause the cost of a target business as measured in dollars to increase.
 
Because Wowjoint has its primary operating facilities located in the PRC, and because substantially all revenues and income following a business combination would be received in a foreign currency such as Renminbi, the main currency used in the PRC, the dollar equivalent of its net assets and distributions, if any, would be adversely affected by reductions in the value of the Renminbi. The value of the Renminbi fluctuates and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions. To the extent that Wowjoint needs to convert United States dollars into Chinese Renminbi for Wowjoint operations, appreciation of this currency against the United States dollar could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Conversely, if Wowjoint decides to convert its Renminbi into United States dollars for other business purposes and the United States dollar appreciates against this currency, the United States dollar equivalent of the Renminbi it could convert into would be reduced. Although currently the Renminbi exchange rate versus the U.S. dollar is restricted to a rise or fall of no more than 0.5% per day and the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the Renminbi may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium- to long-term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future, PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the Renminbi exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.
 
Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce Wowjoint’s exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, Wowjoint has not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While Wowjoint may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedging transactions may be limited and Wowjoint may not be able to successfully hedge Wowjoint’s exposure at all. In addition, Wowjoint’s currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict Wowjoint’s ability to convert Renminbi into foreign currency.
 
Exchange controls that exist in the PRC may limit CFAC’s ability to utilize its cash flow effectively following a business combination.
 
Following the acquisition of Wowjoint, CFAC will be subject to the PRC’s rules and regulations on currency conversion. In the PRC, the SAFE regulates the conversion of the Renminbi into foreign currencies. Under PRC regulations, Renminbi may be converted into foreign currency for payments relating to “current account transactions,” which include among other things dividend payments and payments for the import of goods and services, by complying with certain procedural requirements. Wowjoint’s PRC subsidiaries may also retain foreign exchange in their respective current bank accounts, subject to a cap set by SAFE or its local counterpart, for use in payment of international current account transactions.

30

 
However, conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, and vise versa, for payments relating to “capital account transactions,” which principally includes investments and loans, generally requires the approval of SAFE and other relevant PRC governmental authorities. Restrictions on the convertibility of the Renminbi for capital account transactions could affect the ability of Wowjoint’s PRC subsidiaries to make investments overseas or to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, including by means of loans or capital contributions from the parent entity.
 
Any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may affect the ability of Wowjoint’s PRC subsidiaries or affiliated entity to obtain foreign currencies, limit Wowjoint’s ability to utilize revenues generated in Renminbi to fund Wowjoint’s business activities outside China that are denominated in foreign currencies, or otherwise materially and adversely affect Wowjoint’s business.
 
A failure by Wowjoint’s shareholders or beneficial owners who are PRC citizens or residents to comply with certain PRC foreign exchange regulations could restrict Wowjoint’s ability to distribute profits, restrict Wowjoint’s overseas and cross-border investment activities or subject the combined company to liability under PRC laws, which could adversely affect Wowjoint’s business and financial condition.
 
In October 2005, SAFE issued the Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for PRC Residents Engaging in Financing and Roundtrip Investments via Overseas Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 75. SAFE Circular 75 states that PRC citizens or residents must register with SAFE or its local branch in connection with their establishment or control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas equity financing involving a roundtrip investment whereby the offshore entity acquires or controls onshore assets or equity interests held by the PRC citizens or residents. In addition, such PRC citizens or residents must update their SAFE registrations when the offshore SPV undergoes material events relating to increases or decreases in investment amount, transfers or exchanges of shares, mergers or divisions, long-term equity or debt investments, external guarantees, or other material events that do not involve roundtrip investments. To further clarify the implementation of SAFE Circular 75, SAFE issued SAFE Circular 106 on May 29, 2007. Under SAFE Circular 106, PRC subsidiaries of an offshore company governed by SAFE Circular 75 are required to coordinate and supervise the filing of SAFE registrations in a timely manner by the offshore holding company’s shareholders who are PRC residents. If these shareholders fail to comply, the PRC subsidiaries are required to report to the local SAFE authorities. If Wowjoint’s shareholders who are PRC citizens or residents do not complete their registration with the local SAFE authorities, Wowjoint’s PRC subsidiaries will be prohibited from distributing their profits and proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation to the combined company, and Wowjoint may be restricted in Wowjoint’s ability to contribute additional capital to Wowjoint’s PRC subsidiaries.
 
Wowjoint is committed to complying, and to ensuring that Wowjoint’s shareholders, who are PRC citizens or residents, comply with the SAFE Circular 75 requirements after the acquisition. However, CFAC cannot assure you that CFAC, or the owners of Wowjoint, will be able to complete the necessary filings and registrations with SAFE for the proposed business combination on a timely basis.

Risks Associated with the Acquisition
 
If 35% or more of the holders of CFAC’s public securities decide to vote against the proposed acquisition, CFAC may be forced to liquidate, shareholders may receive less than $8.00 per share and the warrants may expire worthless.
 
Under the terms of CFAC’s memorandum and articles of association, if more than 35% of shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering decide to vote against the proposed acquisition of Wowjoint and opt to redeem their shares for cash, CFAC may be ultimately forced to liquidate. While CFAC will continue to search to acquire business in China for business consummation prior to May 20, 2010, assuming shareholders do not agree to a one year extension by calling a special shareholders meeting, it will be forced to liquidate under its memorandum and articles of association. In any liquidation, the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering held in the trust account, plus any interest earned thereon, will be less than the offering price of $8.00 per share. The trust account will be distributed pro rata to the holders of CFAC’s ordinary shares. The shareholders will receive cash from the trust account distribution less than the price of $8.00 they have paid at the time of CFAC public offering. If CFAC is forced to liquidate its assets, the per-share liquidation will be $7.9666, plus interest accrued thereon until the date of any liquidation.
 
Furthermore, there will be no distribution with respect to CFAC’s outstanding warrants and, accordingly, the warrants will expire worthless.
 
The combined company’s working capital could be reduced if shareholders exercise their redemption rights.
 
Pursuant to CFAC’s memorandum and articles of association, holders of shares purchased in CFAC’s initial public offering may vote against the acquisition and demand that CFAC redeem their shares for pro rata portions of the trust account, net of taxes payable, as of the record date. To the extent the acquisition is consummated and holders holding less than 1,489,687 or equivalent to less than 35% of the total ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering have demanded to redeem their shares, there will be a corresponding reduction in the amount of funds available to the surviving company following the acquisition. As of ____, 2010, the record date, assuming the acquisition is approved, the maximum amount of funds that could be disbursed to the surviving company upon the exercise of maximum redemption rights is approximately $22.1 million.
 
If any funds held in CFAC’s trust account are used to purchase shares of CFAC from holders who would have otherwise voted against the business combination, the business combination may be consummated even if most of the pre business combination public shareholders would have voted against the business combination.
 
In order to ensure that the business combination is approved, CFAC, Wowjoint and their respective affiliates may enter into transactions to purchase ordinary shares of CFAC from shareholders who have indicated their intention to vote against the acquisition and seek redemption of their shares. Such transactions could include:

purchases by CFAC, Wowjoint or their respective affiliates of shares or warrants of CFAC;

agreements with third parties to purchase shares or warrants that may then be resold to the combined company subsequent to the acquisition using funds that were previously in the trust account;

agreements with third parties pursuant to which CFAC, Wowjoint or their respective affiliates would borrow funds to make purchases of ordinary shares or warrants of CFAC. The combined company would repay such borrowings using funds that were previously in the trust account; and

the granting of securities to third party purchasers of ordinary shares or warrants of CFAC as an inducement for such third parties to purchase such securities.
 
Such transactions could result in the business combination being approved even if a majority of the pre-acquisition public shareholders would have voted against the business combination.

32

 
If any funds held in CFAC’s trust account are used to purchase shares of CFAC from holders who would have otherwise voted against the transaction, CFAC’s shareholders who purchased shares in CFAC’s initial public offering may be entitled to rescission rights.
 
CFAC’s initial public offering prospectus did not disclose that funds in the trust account might be used to purchase shares from holders thereof who have indicated their intention to vote against the business combination and redeem their shares for cash. Consequently, such use of the funds in the trust account might be grounds for a holder of CFAC’s public shares who purchased such shares in CFAC’s initial public offering, to seek rescission of the purchase of the units the holder acquired in the IPO. A successful claimant for damages under federal or state law could be awarded an amount to compensate for the decrease in value of the shares caused by the alleged violation, together with interest, while retaining the shares.
 
CFAC may waive one or more of the conditions to the business combination without resoliciting shareholder approval for the business combination.
 
CFAC may agree to waive, in whole or in part, some of the conditions to its obligations to complete the business combination, to the extent permitted by applicable laws. The board of directors of CFAC will evaluate the materiality of any waiver to determine whether amendment of this proxy statement/prospectus and resolicitation of proxies is warranted. In some instances, if the board of directors of CFAC determines that a waiver is not sufficiently material to warrant resolicitation of shareholders, CFAC has the discretion to complete the business combination without seeking further shareholder approval.
 
CFAC may elect to repurchase shares in the market after the consummation of the acquisition of Wowjoint causing a reduction in working capital of the combined company.
 
Pursuant to CFAC’s memorandum and articles of association, holders of shares purchased in CFAC’s initial public offering may vote against the acquisition and demand that CFAC redeem their shares for pro rata portions of the trust account, net of taxes payable, as of the record date. CFAC will not consummate the acquisition of Wowjoint if holders of 1,489,687 or more shares exercise these redemption rights. CFAC may elect to repurchase shares in the open market for the purpose to reduce the number of public shareholders who may exercise their redemption rights. To the extent the acquisition is consummated and CFAC has purchased shares in the open market or otherwise, there will be a corresponding reduction in the amount of funds in the trust account available to the surviving company following the acquisition.
 
If outstanding warrants are exercised, the underlying ordinary shares will be eligible for future resale in the public market. “Market overhang” from the warrants results in dilution and could reduce the market price of the ordinary shares.
 
Outstanding warrants and unit purchase options to purchase an aggregate of 7,264,756 ordinary shares issued in connection with CFAC’s initial public offering and the private placement that took place immediately prior to the initial public offering will become exercisable after consummation of the acquisition. If they are exercised, a substantial number of additional CFAC ordinary shares will be eligible for resale in the public market, which may reduce the market price, causing dilution to the holders of ordinary shares prior to the warrant exercise.
 
Registration rights held by CFAC’s initial shareholders who purchased shares prior to its initial public offering could reduce the market price of CFAC’s ordinary shares.
 
CFAC’s initial shareholders who purchased ordinary shares prior to its initial public offering are entitled to demand that CFAC register the resale of their shares and shares underlying their units and warrants at any time after they are released from escrow. If such shareholders exercise their registration rights with respect to all of their shares, there will be an additional 1,064,062 ordinary shares and 1,064,062 warrants to purchase ordinary shares eligible for trading in the public market. The holders of these shares will be entitled to demand that CFAC register the resale of their shares upon the release of their shares from escrow (which release shall take place until the earlier of (i) 2 ½ years from the close of CFAC initial public offering, or (ii) six months after the close of an acquisition, unless a shorter period of time is approved by its public shareholders.
 
33

 
CFAC may choose to redeem its outstanding warrants at a time that is disadvantageous to the warrant holders.
 
Subject to there being a current prospectus under the Securities Act of 1933, CFAC may redeem all of its outstanding warrants once the warrants become exercisable and except as described below with respect to the private placement warrants, it may redeem the outstanding warrants in whole but 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, an effective registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and available throughout the 30-days redemption period; and if, and only if, the last sale price of CFAC’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before CFAC sends the notice of redemption. Calling all of CFAC’s outstanding warrants for redemption could force the warrant holders: (i) to exercise the warrants and pay the exercise price for such warrants at a time when it may be disadvantageous for the holders to do so; (ii) to sell the warrants at the then current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold the warrants; or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the warrants.
 
Registration rights be granted to Wowjoint’s shareholders in connection with the acquisition could reduce the market price of CFAC’s ordinary shares.
 
In connection with the acquisition, CFAC issues an aggregate of 5,700,000 CFAC ordinary shares. Pursuant to an earn-out provision in the share purchase agreement, CFAC has agreed to issue to Realink, one of shareholders of Giant Nova Holdings Limited, up to 500,000 additional shares if the following performance targets are achieved (1) 200,000 earn-out shares in the event that the closing price per share is at or above US$10.00 for 180 days out of 360 days during the period from the acquisition closing date to the second anniversary of the closing date; (2) 200,000 earn-out shares in the event that the closing price per share is at or above US$13.80 for 180 days out of 360 days during the period from the acquisition closing date to the third anniversary of the closing date; and (3) 100,000 earn-out shares in the event that the average daily trading volume is no less than 200,000 shares for three consecutive months during the period from the closing date of the acquisition to the second anniversary of the closing date. The 500,000 earn-out shares exclude the possible issuance of an additional 2,800,000 ordinary shares if the funds left to the combined company following the closing are $1,250,000 or less. The presence of these additional shares may reduce the market price of CFAC’s ordinary shares.
 
If the benefits of the acquisition of Wowjoint do not meet the expectations of financial or industry analysts, the market price of CFAC’s ordinary shares may decline.
 
The market price of CFAC’s ordinary shares may decline as a result of the acquisition if: (i) CFAC does not achieve the perceived benefits of the acquisition of Wowjoint as rapidly as, or to the extent anticipated by, financial or industry analysts; or (ii) the effect of the acquisition of Wowjoint on CFAC’s financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts. Accordingly, investors may experience a loss as a result of a decreasing share price and CFAC may not be able to raise future capital, if necessary, in the equity markets.
 
34

 
If the acquisition does not meet the expectations of the financial or industry analysts, the value of the warrants may become worthless and warrant holders may see the deletion of the wealth in the warrant holding.
CFAC’s warrant holders may not be able to exercise their warrants, which may create liability for CFAC.
 
The market value of the warrants depends strongly upon the financial performance of the combined company. CFAC’s warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 15, 2012 or earlier upon redemption. Since there will be limited time from the completion of the acquisition of Wowjoint to the time of warrant expiration, CFAC’s warrants may become worthless if the warrants are not exercised in this limited time period. If the warrants are not exercised before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 15, 2012, the warrants may expire worthless.
 
Holders of the CFAC’s warrants issued in its initial public offering and private placement will be able to receive shares upon exercise of the warrants only if:
 
 
(i)
a current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective; and
 
 
(ii)
such shares are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities laws of the states in which the various holders of warrants reside.
 
Although CFAC has agreed to use its best efforts to maintain a current registration statement covering the shares underlying the warrants to the extent required by federal securities laws, and CFAC intends to comply with such agreement, CFAC cannot assure you that it will be able to do so. In addition, some states may not permit CFAC to register the shares issuable upon exercise of its warrants for sale. The value of the warrants will be greatly reduced if a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not kept current or if the securities are not qualified, or exempt from qualification, in the states in which the holders of warrants reside. Holders of warrants who reside in jurisdictions in which the shares underlying the warrants are not qualified and in which there is no exemption will be unable to exercise their warrants and would either have to sell their warrants in the open market or allow them to expire unexercised. If and when the warrants become redeemable by CFAC, CFAC may exercise its redemption right even if CFAC is unable to qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Since CFAC’s obligations in this regard are subject to a “best efforts” standard, it is possible that, even if CFAC is able to successfully assert a defense to a claim by warrant holders due to the impossibility of registration, a court may impose monetary damages on CFAC to compensate warrant holders due to the change in circumstances that led to CFAC being unable to fulfill its obligations.
 
Failure to complete the acquisition could negatively impact the market price of CFAC’s ordinary shares and may make it more difficult for CFAC to attract another acquisition candidate, resulting, ultimately, in the disbursement of the trust proceeds, and investors may experience a loss on their investment.
 
If the acquisition is not completed for any reason, CFAC may be subject to a number of material risks, including: (i) the market price of its ordinary shares may decline to the extent that the current market price of its ordinary shares reflects a market assumption that the acquisition will be consummated; (ii) costs related to the acquisition, such as legal and accounting fees and the costs of the fairness opinion, must be paid even if the acquisition is not completed; and (iii) charges against earnings for transaction-related expenses which could be higher than expected. Such decreased market price and added costs and charges of the failed acquisition, together with the history of failure in consummating an acquisition, may make it more difficult for it to attract another acquisition candidate, resulting, ultimately, in the disbursement of the trust proceeds, and investors may experience a loss on their investment.

35

 
CFAC’s obligation to make future earn-out payments in the form of CFAC ordinary shares in connection with its acquisition of Wowjoint may adversely impact its share market price and could result in dilution to its ordinary shares holders.
 
Under the share purchase agreement with Wowjoint, CFAC may be required to pay a portion of the purchase price over a number of years in the form of earn-out installments in the form of CFAC ordinary shares. Earn-out installments are payable, in addition to the consideration paid by CFAC ordinary shares at closing of the acquisition, based upon the future share price and share trading volume of the combined company. CFAC cannot provide any assurance that market price of its shares will not be negatively impacted as a result of the dilution resulting from the earn-out share.
 
A shareholder may make a claim against CFAC for taking actions inconsistent with its initial public offering registration statement as such shareholder may interpret the requirement that CFAC’s board of directors determine the fair value of acquisition targets based upon certain standards set forth in CFAC’s initial public offering prospectus differently than CFAC’s management interpreted such standards and as a result, CFAC may suffer monetary losses.
 
CFAC’s initial public offering prospectus states that the fair market value of a business to be acquired by CFAC will be determined by its board of directors based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community such as actual and potential sales, earnings and cash flow and book value. In consultation with its financial advisors, CFAC’s board considered these factors and, after reviewing Wowjoint’s valuation and the proposed acquisition consideration described in the share purchase agreement, concluded that the proposed acquisition consideration fairly reflected Wowjoint’s fair market value. In reaching such conclusion, CFAC’s board did not seek a separate third party fairness opinion because it was deemed not to be cost justified under the circumstances. Nevertheless, a shareholder may make a claim against CFAC that it failed to comply with the terms of its initial public offering prospectus when evaluating the acquisition of Wowjoint. Although CFAC would vigorously contest any such claim, it could incur considerable expense in defending such a claim. If CFAC were not successful, it would be liable for damages as determined by a court or may have to make payments in connection with settling such claim.
 
If third parties bring claims against CFAC, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the liquidation price received by CFAC’s public shareholders could be reduced.
 
CFAC’s placing of funds in trust account may not fully protect those funds from third party claims against it. Pursuant to Cayman Islands law, upon CFAC’s dissolution it will be required to pay or make reasonable provision to pay all of its claims and obligations, including all contingent, conditional, or unmatured claims. These amounts must be paid or provided for before CFAC makes any distributions to its shareholders. While CFAC intends to pay such amounts, if any, from the interest on the trust account available to it for working capital, those funds may not be sufficient to cover such claims and obligations. Although CFAC seeks to have all vendors, prospective target businesses, or other entities it engages execute agreements waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements, or if executed, that such waivers will be enforceable or otherwise prevent them from making claims against the trust account. Nor is there any guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with CFAC and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Accordingly, the proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims which could take priority over the claims of CFAC’s public shareholders and, as a result, the actual liquidation price could be less than the liquidation price based upon the proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering and the concurrent private placement of the warrants placed in the trust account, without taking into account interest earned on the trust account subsequent to the initial public offering, due to claims of such creditors. If CFAC is unable to complete a business combination and is forced to liquidate, Mr. Hao and Ms. Ni will be personally liable for ensuring that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of any third party if such third party does not execute a waiver of its rights, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to the trust account, but only to the extent any claims made against the trust account and the payment of such debts or obligations actually reduces the amount in the trust account. However, there can be no assurance that Mr. Hao and Ms. Ni will be able to satisfy those obligations.

36

 
Because the ordinary shares of CFAC issued prior to its initial public offering are prohibited from participating in any liquidation distribution, its founders may have had a conflict of interest when deciding that Wowjoint is a good candidate for a business combination.
 
CFAC's initial shareholders have waived their right to receive distributions with respect to the ordinary shares purchased by them before its initial public offering if it liquidates because it failed to complete a business combination. The personal and financial interests of Mr. Hao and Ms. Ni may influence their identification and selection of a target business, including Wowjoint, and may affect how or when CFAC completes a business combination. The exercise of discretion by Mr. Hao and Ms. Ni in identifying and selecting Wowjoint as a suitable target business may have resulted in a conflict of interest when they decided that the terms, conditions and timing of the acquisition were appropriate and in shareholders’ best interest.
 
The post transaction company is expected to be a foreign private issuer and therefore exempt from certain SEC requirements that provide shareholders with protections and information that must be made available to shareholders of U.S. public companies.
 
The post-transaction company is expected to be a foreign private issuer. A foreign private issuer has reduced reporting requirements under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act (the “Exchange Act”) as compared to United States public companies, resulting in fewer costs associated with financial and reporting compliance. For example, as a foreign private issuer the post transaction company would be exempt from certain provisions applicable to U.S. public companies, including:
 
 
the rules requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K;

 
the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations with respect to a security registered under the Exchange Act;

 
provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information; and

 
the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any “short swing” trading transactions, or a purchase and sale, or a sale and purchase, of the issuer’s equity securities within less than six months.
 
As a foreign private issuer, the post transaction company would file an annual report on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K relating to certain material events promptly after announcing those events. However, because of the above exemptions for foreign private issuers, shareholders will not be afforded the same protections or information generally available to investors holding shares in public companies organized in the United States.
 
Limited ability to evaluate the target business’ management.
 
Although CFAC closely examined the management of Wowjoint, CFAC cannot assure you that its assessment of Wowjoint’s management will prove to be correct, or that future management will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage its business successfully. While certain members of CFAC’s current board of directors may remain directors to the combined company subsequent to the acquisition essentially, all of the serving management of Wowjoint will remain with the combined company, and will for the most part run its day to day operations.
 
37

 
Upon the completion of the Wowjoint acquisition, a large portion of the funds in the trust account in connection with CFAC’s initial public offering are likely to be used for the purchase, directly or indirectly, of shares of CFAC ordinary shares, units or warrants. As a consequence, if the acquisition of Wowjoint is completed, such funds will not be available to the surviving company for working capital and general corporate purposes and it is possible that the number of shareholders of CFAC and the surviving company may be reduced to a number that would preclude the quotation, trading or listing of CFAC securities other than on the OCTBulletin Board.
 
After the payment of expenses associated with the transaction, including deferred underwriting commissions, the balance of funds in CFAC trust account will be available to the surviving company for working capital and general corporate purposes. However, as it is expected that a large portion of the funds in the trust account will be used to acquire shares of CFAC ordinary share, units or warrants either from holders thereof who vote against the acquisition of Wowjoint and elect to convert their shares into cash or from holders thereof who have indicated their intention to do so but first sell their shares to CFAC or CFAC designated affiliates will be voted in favor of the acquisition proposal. As a consequence of such purchases, the funds in CFAC trust account that are so used will not be available to the surviving company after the acquisition and the actual amount of such funds that CFAC may retain for its own use will be greatly diminished and may not be sufficient to fund the surviving company business or to perform projects committed or in progress, and it is possible that the public “float” of CFAC ordinary shares may be significantly reduced which could cause CFACs inability to obtain the quotation, listing or trading of CFAC’s shares over national securities exchanges.
 
If, as is likely, funds in CFAC trust account are used to purchase, directly or indirectly, shares of CFAC ordinary shares, units or warrants from holders thereof who have indicated an intention to vote against the acquisition proposal and convert their shares of CFAC ordinary shares for cash from the trust account, which action was not disclosed in the prospectus for CFAC initial public offering, holders of shares of CFAC ordinary shares at the time of the share purchase in the initial public offering and have not converted their shares into cash may have rights to rescind their purchases and assert a claim for damages against CFAC, its directors and officers. As many of the persons potentially liable upon such claims are not residents of the United States and have no assets in the United States, enforcing any judgment against such persons may be difficult or impossible.
 
The prospectus issued by CFAC in its initial public offering did not disclose that funds in the trust account might be used to purchase CFAC ordinary shares, units or warrants from holders thereof who have indicated their intention to vote against the acquisition of Wowjoint and convert their shares into cash. Consequently, such use of the funds in the trust account might be grounds for a holder of shares of CFAC ordinary shares who purchased them in the initial public offer and still held them at the time of the acquisition of Wowjoint without seeking to convert the shares into cash to seek rescission of the purchase of the units he or she acquired in the initial public offering. A successful claimant for damages under federal or state law could be awarded an amount to compensate for the decrease in value of his or her shares caused by the alleged violation (including, possibly, punitive damages), together with interest, while retaining the shares. Such claims might be brought against CFAC and its directors and officers. Because most of such persons are not residents of the United States and have no assets in the United States, enforcing any award for damages may be difficult or impossible.

Risks Related to Wowjoint’s Corporate Structure
 
Wowjoint has created an off-shore contractual structure in order to receive economic benefits from Beijing Wowjoint, a domestic company operating within China.
 
Chinese law does not place restrictions on foreign investment in or ownership of the type of business of which Beijing Wowjoint is engaged in China. The contractual structure Wowjoint has created among AGL, BXFI, Beijing Wowjoint and its shareholders is for the purpose of obtaining the economic benefits of Beijing Wowjoint’s domestic operation. The contractual structure among AGL, BXFI, Beijing Wowjoint and its shareholders enable Wowjoint to
 
 
·
exercise effective control over Beijing Wowjoint;
 
 
·
receive a substantial portion of the economic benefits of Beijing Wowjoint in consideration for the services provided by the BXFI; and
 
 
·
have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in Beijing Wowjoint when and if there are sufficient cash to do so.
 
For a description of these contractual arrangements, see “Information about Wowjoint—Contractual Arrangements in Connection with the Corporate Structure of Wowjoint”.
 
If the Chinese government finds that such a contractual structure does not comply with applicable Chinese laws, Wowjoint could be subject to severe penalties.
 
Wowjoint conducts its operations in China principally through the contractual arrangements among BXFI, Beijing Wowjoint and its shareholders. Because of these contractual arrangements, Beijing Wowjoint and its associated companies are treated as Wowjoint’s consolidated affiliated entities. If Wowjoint’s corporate and contractual structures are found to be in violation of any existing or future Chinese laws, Wowjoint may have to modify such structures accordingly to comply with regulatory requirements. However, Wowjoint cannot assure you that it can achieve such modification without material disruption to its business. Furthermore, if the contractual arrangements are found to be in violation of any existing or future Chinese laws, the relevant Chinese regulatory authorities could have broad discretion in dealing with such violations, including:
 
 
·
restricting or prohibiting any related-party transactions between BXFI and Beijing Wowjoint;
 
 
·
imposing fines or other requirements with which BXFI and Beijing Wowjoint may not be able to comply;
 
 
·
requiring AGL or BXFI and Beijing Wowjoint to restructure the relevant ownership structure or operations; or
 
 
·
restricting or prohibiting Beijing Wowjoint’s use of the funds released from the trust account to finance Wowjoint’s business and operations in China.
 
The imposition of any of these penalties could result in a material and adverse effect on Wowjoint’s ability to conduct its business.
 
Wowjoint relies on contractual arrangements with Beijing Wowjoint and its shareholders for Wowjoint’s China operations, which may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct ownership.
 
Wowjoint has relied and expects to continue to rely on contractual arrangements with Beijing Wowjoint and its shareholders to operate its business in China. These contractual arrangements may not be as effective in providing Wowjoint with control over Beijing Wowjoint as direct ownership. Wowjoint has no direct or indirect equity interests in Beijing Wowjoint. If Wowjoint had direct ownership of Beijing Wowjoint, Wowjoint would be able to exercise its rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors of Beijing Wowjoint, which in turn could effect changes, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations, at the management level. But under the current contractual arrangements, as a legal matter, if Beijing Wowjoint or any of its shareholders fails to perform their obligations under these contractual arrangements, Wowjoint may have to incur substantial costs and resources to enforce such arrangements and rely on legal remedies under Chinese laws, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief and claiming damages, which may not be effective. For example, if the shareholders of Beijing Wowjoint were to refuse to transfer their equity interest in Beijing Wowjoint. to Wowjoint or Wowjoint’s designee when Wowjoint exercises the call option pursuant to these contractual arrangements, or if they were otherwise to act in bad faith toward Wowjoint, then Wowjoint may have to take legal action to compel them to fulfill their contractual obligations.
 
39

 
Many of these contractual arrangements are governed by Chinese laws and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in China. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with Chinese laws and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with Chinese legal procedures. The legal environment in China is not as developed as in some other jurisdictions, such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the Chinese legal system could limit Wowjoint’s ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. In the event Wowjoint is unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, Wowjoint may not be able to exert effective control over Beijing Wowjoint and its ability to conduct its business may be adversely affected.
 
Contractual arrangements among Wowjoint, its China subsidiary, Beijing Wowjoint and other parties may be subject to scrutiny by the Chinese tax authorities and a finding that Wowjoint or Wowjoint’s PRC affiliated entity owe additional taxes could substantially reduce its consolidated net income and the value of your investment.
 
Under PRC laws, arrangements and transactions among related parties may be subject to audit or challenge by the Chinese tax authorities. Wowjoint could face material and adverse tax consequences if the Chinese tax authorities determine that the contractual arrangement among BXFI and Beijing Wowjoint does not represent an arm’s-length price and adjust Beijing Wowjoint’s income in the form of a transfer pricing adjustment. A transfer pricing adjustment could, among other things, result in a reduction, for Chinese tax purposes, of expense deductions recorded by Beijing Wowjoint which could in turn increase their respective tax liabilities. In addition, the Chinese tax authorities may impose late payment fees and other penalties on Beijing Wowjoint for underpayment of taxes. Wowjoint’s consolidated net income may be materially and adversely affected if Beijing Wowjoint’s tax liabilities increase or if they are found to be subject to late payment fees or other penalties.
 
Chinese regulations on loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to Chinese entities may delay or prevent Wowjoint from using the funds in the trust account or proceeds Wowjoint may receive from future financing to make loans to its China subsidiaries or affiliates or to make additional capital contributions to its China subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect its liquidity and its ability to fund and expand its business.
 
Wowjoint is an offshore holding company, incorporated in Hong Kong, and it conducts its operations in China through its subsidiaries and affiliated entities in China. In utilizing the funds in the trust account or proceeds Wowjoint may receive from future financing for use by its China subsidiaries and affiliates as operational capital, Wowjoint may make loans to its China subsidiaries and affiliates, or Wowjoint may make additional capital contributions to its China subsidiaries.
 
Any loans Wowjoint makes to its subsidiary, BXFI, namely foreign investment enterprise or “FIE”, which are treated as foreign investment enterprise under Chinese laws, cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, or its local counterparts. Under applicable Chinese laws, the Chinese regulators must approve the amount of a FIE’s registered capital, which represents shareholders’ equity investments over a defined period of time, and the foreign investment enterprise’s total investment, which represents the total of the company’s registered capital plus permitted loans. The registered capital/total investment ratio cannot be lower than the minimum statutory requirement and the excess of the total investment over the registered capital represents the maximum amount of borrowings that a FIE is permitted to have under Chinese laws. If Wowjoint was to advance some funds to the FIE in the form of loans and such funds exceed the maximum amount of borrowings of the subsidiary, Wowjoint would have to apply to the relevant government authorities for an increase in their permitted total investment amounts. The various applications could be time consuming and their outcomes would be uncertain. Concurrently with the loans, Wowjoint might have to make capital contributions to the FIE’s in order to maintain the statutory minimum registered capital/total investment ratio, and such capital contributions involve uncertainties of their own, as discussed below. Furthermore, even if Wowjoint makes loans to the FIE that do not exceed their current maximum amount of borrowings, Wowjoint will have to register each loan with SAFE or its local counterpart within 15 days after the signing of the relevant loan agreement. Subject to the conditions stipulated by SAFE, SAFE or its local counterpart will issue a registration certificate of foreign debts within 20 days after reviewing and accepting its application. In practice, it may take longer to complete such SAFE registration process.
 
40

 
Any loans Wowjoint makes to any subsidiary or affiliate which is a China domestic company rather than a FIE under Chinese laws, such as Beijing Wowjoint, are also subject to various Chinese regulations and approvals. Under applicable Chinese regulations, medium- and long-term international commercial loans to Chinese domestic companies are subject to approval by the National Development and Reform Commission, and short-term international commercial loans to Chinese domestic companies are subject to the balance control system administered by SAFE. Due to the above restrictions, Wowjoint is not likely to make loans to subsidiaries or affiliates which are domestic companies directly. Any capital contributions Wowjoint makes to the Beijing Wowjoint must be approved by the Ministry of Commerce of China or its local counterparts and registered with SAFE or its local counterparts. Such applications and registrations could be time consuming and their outcomes would be uncertain.
 
Wowjoint cannot assure you that it will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans by Wowjoint to its China subsidiary or affiliated entity or with respect to future capital contributions by Wowjoint to its China subsidiary. If Wowjoint fails to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, its ability to use such future loans or capital contributions to capitalize or otherwise fund its China operations may be negatively affected, which could adversely and materially affect its liquidity and its ability to fund and expand its business.
 
Equity Pledge Agreement with Beijing Wowjoint and its shareholders may not be enforceable until they are registered with the relevant administration for industry and commerce pursuant to the China Property Rights Law.
 
To guarantee the performance of contract obligations of Beijing Wowjoint and its registered shareholders, as applicable, under the contractual arrangement, Wowjoint entered into an equity pledge agreement with them under which they pledge their equity interest in Beijing Wowjoint to BXFI. According to the Property Rights Law, which became effective as of October 1, 2007, pledge rights for a pledge of equity are created at the time of the processing of the registration of the pledge by the relevant administration for industry and commerce. The shareholders of Beijing Wowjoint who are obligated to register the pledge under the Equity Pledge Agreement, are preparing to file an application for the pledge registration. The pledge registration has not been completed as of the date of this proxy statement.
 
Failure of registration of the pledge could allow the shareholders of Beijing Wowjoint to dishonor their pledge and re-pledge the equity interests to another person or another party. Before completion of the pledge registration, Wowjoint relies on these shareholders to abide by the contracts laws of China and honor their contracts with Wowjoint. Wowjoint cannot assure you that Wowjoint will be able to get its equity pledge registration processed by the relevant administration for industry and commerce, and if Wowjoint is unable to do so, the effectiveness of the pledge may affected.

41

 
If Wowjoint can not complete the share purchase of Beijing Wowjoint by the consideration of RMB 1,000,000 and subsequently seek to complete the acquisition by a higher consideration, the value of combined company may decrease if such acquisition does take place.
 
Per the share purchase agreement signed by AGL and Beijing Wowjoint, AGL has the option, when and if there are sufficient funds available to do so, to acquire 100% of all outstanding shares of Beijing Wowjoint at its sole discretion for the total amount of RMB1,000,000. However, if such an amount of RMB1,000,000 is not sufficient for the acquisition, or more funds are required to complete the acquisition, due to the approval requirements of the Chinese government for purchase of Chinese assets, then the value of the combined company may decrease if it ultimately decides to make such a purchase at a higher consideration.
 
Risks Relating to CFAC’s Securities
 
If CFAC does not pay dividends on its shares, its shareholders will only benefit from an investment in CFAC’s shares if such shares appreciate in value.
 
CFAC’s board of directors may make any determination to pay dividends in the future, depending upon results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors CFAC’s board of directors deems relevant. Accordingly, realization of a gain on shareholders’ investments will depend on the appreciation of the price of its shares. There is no guarantee that CFAC’s shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which shareholders purchased their shares.
 
CFAC securities are quoted on the OTC, which may limit the liquidity and price of CFAC’s securities more than if CFAC’s securities were listed on the Nasdaq Global Market or the New York Stock Exchange.
 
CFAC ordinary shares, warrants and units are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. CFAC believes that the quotation of its securities on the OTC will limit the liquidity and price of its securities more than if its securities were listed on the Nasdaq Global Market or the New York Stock Exchange. CFAC plans to seek listing of its ordinary shares, warrants and units on the Nasdaq Global Market as soon as reasonably practicable. However, it may not currently meet Nasdaq’s initial listing standards and CFAC cannot assure you as to when or if it will meet the listing standards, or that it will be able to maintain a listing of its securities. Pending listing, if any, CFAC expect that its securities would be eligible for continued quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, an over-the-counter quotation system, where an investor may find it difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the securities.
 
There may not be an active, liquid trading market for CFAC’s ordinary shares, and the trading price for its ordinary shares may fluctuate significantly.
 
CFAC’s ordinary shares are currently traded on the OTC. While it intends to file an application for listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, its listing application may not be accepted. If CFAC does not succeed in securing a listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, it could limit the ability to trade its ordinary shares. Compliance with all of the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will likely be a further condition of continued listing or trading. There is no assurance that if CFAC is granted a listing on the Nasdaq Global Market it will always meet the Nasdaq Global Market listing requirements, or that there will be an active, liquid trading market for its ordinary shares in the future. Failure to meet the Nasdaq Global Market listing requirements could result in the delisting of CFAC ordinary shares from the Nasdaq Global Market, which may adversely affect the liquidity of its shares, the price that can be obtained for them, or both.

42


CFAC’s warrant holders may not be able to exercise their warrants, which may create liability for CFAC.
 
Holders of the warrants CFAC issued in its initial public offering and private placement will be able to receive shares upon exercise of the warrants only if (i) a current registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and (ii) such shares are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities laws of the states in which the various holders of warrants reside. Although CFAC has agreed to use its best efforts to maintain a current registration statement covering the shares underlying the warrants to the extent required by federal securities laws, and CFAC intends to comply with such agreement, CFAC cannot assure you that it will be able to do so. In addition, some states may not permit CFAC to register the shares issuable upon exercise of its warrants for sale. The value of the warrants will be greatly reduced if a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not kept current or if the securities are not qualified, or exempt from qualification, in the states in which the holders of warrants reside. Holders of warrants who reside in jurisdictions in which the shares underlying the warrants are not qualified and in which there is no exemption will be unable to exercise their warrants and would either have to sell their warrants in the open market or allow them to expire unexercised. If and when the warrants become redeemable by CFAC, CFAC may exercise its redemption right even if CFAC is unable to qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Since CFAC’s obligations in this regard are subject to a “best efforts” standard, it is possible that, even if CFAC is able to successfully assert a defense to a claim by warrant holders due to the impossibility of registration, a court may impose monetary damages on CFAC to compensate warrant holders due to the change in circumstances that led to CFAC being unable to fulfill its obligations.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

The record date for the special meeting is ________, 2010. Record holders of CFAC ordinary shares at the close of business on the record date are entitled to vote or have their votes cast at the special meeting. On the record date, there were 5,320,312 outstanding CFAC ordinary shares, of which 4,256,250 were issued in CFAC’s initial public offering.

Each CFAC ordinary share is entitled to one vote per share at the special meeting.

Any CFAC ordinary shares purchased prior to the initial public offering will be voted in accordance with the majority of the votes cast at the special meeting, but only with respect to the acquisition proposal. The holders of such ordinary shares are free to vote their shares acquired in such public offering or afterwards as they see fit and are free to vote all of their ordinary shares, however obtained, on the acquisition proposal as they see fit.

CFAC’s issued and outstanding warrants do not have voting rights and record holders of CFAC warrants will not be entitled to vote at the special meeting.

Vote Required

Under CFAC’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, approval of the acquisition requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of CFAC’s outstanding ordinary shares issued in the initial public offering which are present and entitled to vote at the meeting. Approval of the amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association will require the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders at the special meeting, provided that there is a quorum.  The election of each director will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders at the special meeting, provided that there is a quorum.

CFAC will not be authorized to complete the acquisition if holders of 1,489,687 or more CFAC ordinary shares sold in its initial public offering (public shareholders owning 35% or more of the shares sold in the initial public offering) vote against the acquisition and demand that CFAC redeem their shares into pro rata portions of the trust account.  The acquisition will also not be consummated in the event that the proposal to increase CFAC’s authorized capital is not approved since CFAC would not be able to issue a sufficient number of shares to the seller pursuant to the stock purchase agreement if the proposal is not approved. In addition, the amendments to CFAC’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and the election of directors will not be effected, even if approved by shareholders in such manner, unless the acquisition proposal with Wowjoint is also approved and holders of less than 35% of the ordinary shares sold in CFAC’s initial public offering vote against the acquisition proposal and exercise their redemption rights.

Broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote to approve the acquisition. Abstaining from voting or not voting on the proposals to amend CFAC’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, election of directors, and the adjournment (including broker non-votes), either in person or by proxy or voting instruction, will have no effect on the vote to approve each such proposal since the vote to approve each of these proposals requires approval by the holders of either two-thirds or a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders at the special meeting, provided that there is a quorum. An abstention will not count toward the 35% “against and redeeming” vote that would result in the acquisition’s abandonment, and you would be unable to exercise any redemption rights upon approval of the acquisition. If the proposal relating to the acquisition is not approved, CFAC will not consummate the acquisition of Wowjoint, and not go forward with the amendments to CFAC’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and the election of directors. To demand redemption, you must vote against the acquisition and elect to redeem your shares.

There are two ways to vote your CFAC ordinary shares at the special meeting:
 
 
·
You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card, but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted, as recommended by the CFAC board, “FOR” the approval of the acquisition proposal.
 
 
·
You can attend the special meeting and vote in person. CFAC will give you a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way CFAC can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.
 
Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your CFAC ordinary shares, you may call CFAC’s proxy solicitor Advantage Proxy, 24925 13th Place South, Des Moines, Washington 98198, telephone number 206-870-8565, Attention: Karen Smith.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:
 
 
·
You may send another proxy card with a later date as long as it is received by CFAC’s proxy solicitor Advantage Proxy not less than 48 hours before the special meeting;
 
 
·
You may notify CFAC’s proxy solicitor Advantage Proxy, 24925 13th Place South, Des Moines, Washington 98198, telephone number 206-870-8565, Attention: Karen Smith, in writing before the special meeting that you have revoked your proxy; and
 
 
·
You may attend the special meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person.
 
Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

If your broker holds your shares in its name and you do not give the broker voting instructions, under the rules of FINRA, your broker may not vote your shares on the proposal to approve the acquisition of Wowjoint pursuant to the share purchase agreement. If you do not give your broker voting instructions and the broker does not vote your shares, this is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, and will have no effect on the acquisition proposal.

Redemption Rights

Any shareholder of CFAC holding ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering who votes against the acquisition proposal may, at the same time, demand that CFAC convert his shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account. If so demanded, CFAC will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds held in a trust account, which consist of the $7.9666 of net proceeds from the initial public offering deposited into the trust account, plus interest earned thereon, if the acquisition is consummated. If the holders of 35% or more, ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering vote against the acquisition and demand redemption of their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering are held, CFAC will not be able to consummate the acquisition. Based on the amount of cash held in the trust account as of December 21, 2009, without taking into account any interest accrued, you will be entitled to convert each share of ordinary shares that you hold into approximately $7.9666, or $0.0334 less than the per-unit offering price of $8.00 for which you purchased units in the initial public offering. If the acquisition is not consummated, CFAC will continue to search for a business combination in China. However, CFAC will be liquidated if it does not consummate a business combination by no later than May 20, 2010 or, if shareholders approve an extension, by May 20, 2011. In any liquidation, the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering held in the trust account, plus any interest earned thereon still remaining in the trust account, will be distributed pro rata to the holders of CFAC’s ordinary shares who purchased their shares in CFAC’s initial public offering or thereafter.

If you exercise your redemption rights, then you will be exchanging your CFAC ordinary shares for cash and will no longer own these shares. The closing price of CFAC’s ordinary shares on December 21, 2009, the most recent trading day practicable before the printing of this proxy statement, was $7.80 and the amount of cash held in the trust account per each CFAC's ordinary share is $7.9666, plus interest accrued thereon. If a CFAC shareholder would have elected to exercise his redemption rights on such date, then he would have been entitled to receive $7.9666 plus interest accrued thereon, per share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, CFAC shareholders should verify the market price of CFAC’s ordinary shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their ordinary shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights. You will be entitled to receive this cash only if you continue to hold your shares through the closing of the acquisition and tender your share certificate(s) per the instructions included on the proxy card. In connection with tendering your shares for conversion, you must elect either to physically tender your stock certificates to CFAC’s transfer agent prior to the special meeting or to deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian System (“DWAC”), which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the special meeting ensures that a converting holder’s election to convert is irrevocable once the proposal is approved.  Upon redemption of your shares, you will no longer own them.  You must follow the instructions on the proxy card and send your share certificate(s) with your proxy card in order to exercise your redemption rights.

As of December 21, 2009, the market price of $7.80 per share was substantially lower than the amount which would be received upon redemption.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

CFAC is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. All solicitation costs will be paid by CFAC.
This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. CFAC and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means, including e-mail and facsimile. Any solicitation made and information provided in such a solicitation will be consistent with the written proxy statement and proxy card. Advantage Proxy, a proxy solicitation firm that CFAC has engaged to assist it in soliciting proxies, will be paid a fee not exceeding of $12,500 for its efforts.

 
51

 

CFAC will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward its proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. CFAC will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

CFAC, Wowjoint and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies. The underwriters of CFAC’s IPO, Chardan Capital Markets LLC (“CCM”) may provide assistance to CFAC, Wowjoint and their respective directors and executive officers, and may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies. $1,197,749 of the underwriting commissions relating to the IPO are deferred pending shareholder approval of CFAC’s initial business combination, and CFAC shareholders and warrantholders are advised that CCM therefore has a financial interest in the successful outcome of the proxy solicitation.

Actions that May be Taken to Secure Approval of CFAC’s Shareholders

In order to ensure that the business combination is approved, CFAC, Wowjoint and their respective affiliates may enter into transactions to purchase ordinary shares of CFAC from shareholders who have indicated their intention to vote against the business combination and seek redemption of their shares. In addition, CFAC, Wowjoint and their respective affiliates may also purchase warrants from warrant holders. Such purchases could result in all or substantially all of CFAC trust fund being expended to pay for such purchases post transaction, which would result in Wowjoint not receiving any working capital from the trust account. No transactions have been entered into, but may include:

 
purchases by CFAC, Wowjoint or their respective affiliates of shares or warrants of CFAC;

 
agreements with third parties to purchase shares or warrants that may then be resold to the combined company subsequent to the business combination using funds that were previously in the trust account;

 
agreements with third parties pursuant to which CFAC, Wowjoint or their respective affiliates would borrow funds to make purchases of ordinary shares or warrants of CFAC. The combined company would repay such borrowings using funds that were previously in the trust account; and

 
the granting of securities to third party purchasers of ordinary shares or warrants of CFAC as an inducement for such third parties to purchase such securities.

Any CFAC shares purchased by CFAC or its affiliates would increase the likelihood that the transaction would be approved.

In the event that any purchases of CFAC’s ordinary shares or warrants are made by CFAC, Wowjoint or affiliates of either of them, after the mailing of this proxy statement to shareholders but prior to the special meeting, CFAC will submit a Form 6-K relating to such purchases within four business days of such purchases or otherwise prior to the special meeting and file and mail a proxy supplement to its shareholders with respect to such information.
 
 
52

 

CFAC will submit a report on Form 6-K and will file and mail a proxy supplement to its shareholders with respect to any arrangements entered into by CFAC, Wowjoint or their respective affiliates which is intended to increase the likelihood that the arrangement and related proposals are approved by CFAC’s shareholders. Any CFAC shares purchased by CFAC will not be considered outstanding for purposes of the special meeting and will therefore not be permitted to vote at the meeting. In the event that public shares are purchased by CFAC, such shares would no longer be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of determining the vote required for the approval of any of the proposals presented at the special meeting. Therefore, this would reduce (i) the number of public shares outstanding and entitled to vote on each matter, and (ii) the number of shares required to be voted in favor of each proposal. Conversely, if CFAC’s directors and officers purchased such shares, those shares would still be considered to be outstanding and could be voted in favor of such proposals, reducing the number of shares required to be voted in favor of such proposals by a number of shares equal to those purchased. Neither CFAC nor its officers or directors purchasing shares would affect the number of shares that could be redeemed by CFAC with the business combination still being permitted to be consummated.

CFAC’s initial shareholders have agreed to vote the ordinary shares of CFAC owned by them prior to CFAC’s initial public offering in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by holders of shares sold in CFAC’s initial public offering. The initial shareholders are not under any obligation to CFAC with respect to voting any shares acquired by them in CFAC’s initial public offering or in the aftermarket, and, accordingly, may vote any such shares in favor of the proposed business combination (as they have indicated they intend to do). This would have the effect of reducing the number of other public shareholders of CFAC that would have to vote in favor of the proposed business combination. The initial shareholders have agreed not to demand redemption rights with respect to any of their initial shares.

THE ACQUISITION PROPOSAL

The discussion in this proxy statement of the acquisition and the principal terms of the share purchase agreement dated as of November 30, 2009, and among CFAC, the shareholders of Wowjoint, and Wowjoint is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the share purchase agreement. A copy of the share purchase agreement is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement and is incorporated in this proxy statement by reference.

General Description of the Acquisition

Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, CFAC will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Wowjoint.

Background of the Acquisition

Promptly after CFAC’s initial public offering in May 2008, the officers and directors of CFAC commenced the process of locating potential targets. The board of directors of CFAC established a list of criteria for screening potential targets, including but not limited to:

 
principal portion of operations located in mainland China;

 
business sector with favorable profitability and growth outlook;

 
the competitive position of the target within the sector to be among the leaders or with unique competitive advantages;

 
business model with long-term sustainability;

 
strong historical financial track record demonstrating the growth of the target’s business as well as profitability of its business model;

 
fair market value of at least 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of the business combination;

 
strong management capable of leading the target after the business combination;

 
strategic strength in a particular sector and the capability to consolidate in China and/or internationally;

 
existing distribution arrangements and potential for expansion; and

 
intellectual property or other protections for products.

The CFAC team reached out to a large number of business contacts that it believed might refer potential business combination targets to CFAC, including individuals known to the CFAC team as being knowledgeable about deals in the marketplace, financial advisory firms that specialize in deal flow sourcing or advising companies in fund raising or financial transactions, senior business executives, professional investment managers and private equity investment funds.

CFAC received leads and reviewed a total of more than 10 potential business combination candidates. These candidates were engaged in a wide range of industry sectors. Most of these reviews were done on a preliminary basis, and did not progress towards a substantive discussion of terms of a potential transaction with CFAC. Depending on the candidate involved, these companies were not considered as a final business combination target with CFAC for various reasons, including but, not limited to, the target not meeting CFAC’s criteria as described above or a lack of interest on the part of the candidate to pursue further discussions with CFAC.

Description of Significant Events with Target

In February 2009, Mr. Richard Lui, a personal friend of Ms. Hope Ni, as well as a consultant to Wowjoint, called Ms. Hope Ni to introduce Wowjoint as a potential target for CFAC. CFAC and Wowjoint signed a non disclosure agreement, and Wowjoint sent its business plan and company information to CFAC’s management team. After reviewing Wowjoint’s preliminary information, CFAC management team decided to pursue the opportunity further.

On March 5, 2009, CFAC management visited Wowjoint’s company site in Beijing, China and had a meeting with Mr. Yabin Liu, the chief executive officer and the founder of Wowjoint. After the meeting, CFAC conducted research on Wowjoint, its competitors, the heavy duty construction equipment industry in China, as well as the Chinese government’s infrastructural plans. At the same time, CFAC management continued discussions with other potential target companies.

On May 22, 2009, Mr. Chun Yi Hao met with Wowjoint’s management team at its Beijing office. During the meeting, the parties further discussed their respective goals and the legal and financial structure of a potential combination of the two companies. In the following week, CFAC’s management and Wowjoint’s management had follow-up meetings in Beijing during which they continued to discuss the structure and the impact of a business combination between Wowjoint and CFAC.

However, Wowjoint shareholders debated whether the business combination between Wowjoint and CFAC would benefit the shareholders of Wowjoint under the prevailing depressed capital market conditions. Communications and discussions between CFAC and Wowjoint remained open but inactive in the following months.

Starting in June 2009, the discussions between Wowjoint and CFAC became active again as conditions in the worldwide capital markets improved.

On June 2, 2009, CFAC’s management briefed the board of directors of CFAC about its intention to evaluate the feasibility of a business combination with Wowjoint, and the board authorized CFAC’s management to begin due diligence and negotiations.

On June 8, 2009, CFAC sent Wowjoint an initial due diligence request list requesting information and various documents relating to Wowjoint, including corporate documents, material contracts, financial statements, corporate structure charts, intellectual property, and details of regarding legal matters.

On June 8, 2009, CFAC’s management engaged Broad & Bright Law Firm (“B&B”), its PRC counsel, to conduct legal due diligence on Wowjoint. On the same day, B&B sent Wowjoint an initial request of due diligence questionnaires. On July 12, 2009, B&B made an additional information request to Wowjoint asking for more supplemental information. On July 25, 2009, B&B circulated a due diligence memo among the parties involved. On July 31, 2009, B&B provided its final legal due diligence report.

In June 2009, CFAC’s management, assisted by CCM’s Beijing office, conducted extensive financial due diligence on Wowjoint. CFAC’s management reviewed Wowjoint’s major sales contacts as well as the major purchase contracts provided by Wowjoint for the period from the beginning of 2005 to mid-2009. CFAC’s management also reviewed and examined Wowjoint’s accounting records, vouchers, warehouse record books and bank ledgers, and discussed and examined its accounting policies.

In June 2009, CFAC’s management team also conducted business due diligence by interviewing Wowjoint’s senior management team regarding Wowjoint’s marketing and sales practices, R&D plans, engineering and manufacturing expansion plans, as well as the financial projections of Wowjoint. CFAC’s management also conducted independent phone interviews with Wowjoint’s customers to understand Wowjoint’s relationship with its customers.

During the week of June 20, 2009, CFAC’s management made arrangements to have Wowjoint’s management meet CFAC’s IPO underwriters, CCM and Maxim Group, in their respective offices in New York City.

Based on the results of due diligence, CFAC’s management believed that Wowjoint fitted the investment criteria stated in CFAC’s initial public offering prospectus. CFAC’s management communicated to Wowjoint’s management its intention of pursuing the transaction further, and also informed Wowjoint’s management team of the preparation work that Wowjoint must complete in order to pursue a business combination with CFAC. Such preparation work included the delivery of a consolidated U.S. GAAP audit report; a complete legal restructuring of Wowjoint; and the need to provide a PRC legal opinion concerning the legal structure of Wowjoint.

On July 1, 2009, CFAC engaged Kroll Inc. to conduct a background check on the major shareholders and executives of Wowjoint. On August 6, 2009, Kroll delivered its final report on the background check.

On July 10, 2009, the board of directors of Wowjoint met to discuss the transaction, and authorized Wowjoint’s management to negotiate and to take all required actions in connection with a potential business combination.

Starting in late June 2009, Wowjoint, with the assistance of its financial advisor, Morgan Capital, started the various tasks, including the hiring of legal counsel, accountants experienced with U.S. GAAP and auditors in order to complete the corporate restructuring, as well as to the prepare the required audit report.

On July 20, 2009, Wowjoint engaged BR Attorney-at-Law as its PRC legal council. During the following few weeks, BR Attorney-at-Law reviewed Wowjoint’s information and provided a draft of its legal opinion to CFAC’s management.

During July 2009, CFAC’s management and Wowjoint’s management also started discussing and negotiating the acquisition consideration for Wowjoint based on the information provided by Wowjoint, including its management accounts. Both parties agreed on certain multiples which would be used as the basis for Wowjoint’s valuation and that the purchase price would be determined based on Wowjoint’s audited net income of 2008 and 2009.

On August 5, 2009, Broad & Bright, CFAC’s PRC legal counsel, delivered an initial draft of the share purchase agreement to Wowjoint. From August 2009 to early November 2009, the terms of a definitive agreement were negotiated between two parties through numerous in-person meetings, phone calls and e-mails.

On August 10, 2009, CFAC’s management updated CFAC’s board and briefed the board on the status of the business combination with Wowjoint. The board authorized CFAC’s management to proceed.

On August 12, 2009, the board of directors of Wowjoint authorized its management to take all the necessary actions to prepare for the business combination, including negotiating and finalizing the share purchase agreement.

On September 7, 2009, CFAC’s counsel distributed a revised draft of the share purchase agreement.

While CFAC’s management was waiting for the final audit report of Wowjoint, CFAC continued the discussions with Wowjoint’s auditor and the accounting team to better understand the preliminary financial results of Wowjoint.

From September 2009 to November 2009, both parties and their respective counsel prepared the proxy statement to solicit CFAC’s shareholders to vote on the transaction with Wowjoint.

From September 2009 to November 2009, CFAC’s management and CCM prepared an investor presentation regarding the transaction.

On November 6, 2009, CFAC entered into a letter of intent with Wowjoint, and on November 9, 2009, CFAC issued a press release announcing the letter of intent, and filed a Form 6-K accordingly.

On November 24, 2009, Wowjoint’s auditor, Sherb & Co., LLP, issued Wowjoint’s final audit report. A copy of the audit report was immediately delivered to CFAC.

On November 27, 2009, CFAC held a telephonic board meeting attended by all members of its board at which it reviewed the share purchase agreement with management, as well as its financial analysis of the proposed transaction. This included the demonstration that Wowjoint’s fair market value was equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account around the time of the business combination. Discussions included transaction details, investment merits, Wowjoint’s recent and projected financial performance, China’s transportation infrastructure construction industry outlook and valuation metrics. After these presentations, CFAC’s board of directors unanimously approved the share purchase agreement and recommended that the shareholders of CFAC vote in favor of the adoption and approval of the share purchase agreement. The CFAC board authorized CFAC’s management to execute the share purchase agreement.

On November 30, 2009, CFAC and Wowjoint executed the share purchase agreement.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the share purchase agreement, the applicable parties executed and delivered certain other agreements.

On November 30, 2009, CFAC and Wowjoint issued a joint press release announcing the transaction and the execution of the share purchase agreement. On the same day, CFAC filed a report of foreign private issuer on Form 6-K to announce the proposed business combination with Wowjoint, and included the press release and investor presentation materials as exhibits.

On December 23, 2009, CFAC filed a report of foreign private issuer on Form 6-K with a revised investor presentation materials as an exhibit.

CFAC’s Reasons for the Acquisition and Recommendation of the CFAC Board

The CFAC board of directors has concluded that the acquisition of Wowjoint is in the best interests of CFAC’s shareholders.
 
 
57

 

In approving the share purchase agreement with Wowjoint and shareholders of Wowjoint, the board of directors of CFAC relied on information (including financial information) relating to Wowjoint, the regulatory environment and the infrastructure construction equipment industry fundamentals. In addition, the board considered management’s opinion that, based on the matrix analysis by the management, the Wowjoint acquisition is fair to CFAC’s current shareholders from a financial point of view.

CFAC’s board of directors considered a wide variety of factors in connection with its evaluation of the acquisition. In light of the complexity of those factors, the CFAC board did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its decision. In addition, individual members of the CFAC board may have given different weight to different factors.

The analysis of CFAC’s board of directors in reaching this conclusion is described in more detail below. In considering the acquisition, the CFAC board gave considerable weight to the following positive factors:

 
·
Rapid Expansion of China’s Infrastructure Scale

CFAC’s board of directors sees great opportunities in China’s rapidly expanding scale of infrastructure development. China is expanding its railway and highway network across the entire country. CFAC’s board of directors considers this unique opportunity.

 
·
Wowjoint’s Successful Record of Growth and Expansion, and High Potential for Future Growth

An important criterion to CFAC’s board of directors in identifying an acquisition target was that the company has established business operations, that it was generating current revenues and that it had the strong potential for additional growth. CFAC’s board of directors believes that Wowjoint, already a leader in China’s rapidly growing construction equipment industry, has established a solid platform to conduct a profitable and growing business, with the ability to pursue growth plans and further expand into the specialized construction machinery business.

 
·
Unique Aspects of Wowjoint’s Business

Another important criterion to CFAC’s board of directors in identifying an acquisition target was whether the company was well-positioned with a competitive edge in the marketplace. Wowjoint is well-positioned in the market due to its strong design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities. Its strong in-house design and engineering capabilities place well ahead of its competition.

 
·
Experience of Wowjoint’s Management

Another important criterion to CFAC’s board of directors in identifying an acquisition target was that the company must have a seasoned management team with specialized knowledge of the markets within which it operates. Wowjoint’s management team has extensive experience in China's expanding construction equipment sector, recognized operational skills and strong customer relationships.

 
·
Terms of the Share Purchase Agreement

The terms of the share purchase agreement, including the closing conditions, restrictions on CFAC’s and Wowjoint’s ability to respond to competing proposals, and termination provisions, are customary and reasonable. It was important to CFAC’s board of directors that the share purchase agreement includes customary terms and conditions to allow for a more efficient closing process and lower transaction expenses.
 
 
58

 

CFAC’s board of directors believes that each of the above factors supported its determination and recommendation to approve the acquisition. CFAC’s board of directors did, however, consider the following potentially negative factors, among others, in its deliberations concerning the acquisition:

 
·
The risk that CFAC’s public shareholders would vote against the acquisition and exercise their redemption rights: CFAC’s board of directors considered the risk that the current public shareholders of CFAC would vote against the acquisition and demand to redeem their shares for cash upon consummation of the acquisition, thereby depleting the amount of cash available to the combined company following the acquisition. CFAC’s board of directors deemed this risk to be no worse with regard to Wowjoint than it would be for other target companies, and believes that CFAC will still be able to implement its business plan even if the combined company received a portion of the funds deposited in the trust account.

 
·
Certain officers and directors of CFAC may have different interests in the acquisition than the CFAC shareholders: CFAC’s board of directors considered the fact that certain officers and directors of CFAC may have interests in the acquisition that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of CFAC shareholders generally, including the matters described under “Interest of CFAC Directors and Officers in the Acquisition” above. However, this fact would exist with respect to an acquisition of any target company.

After deliberation, the CFAC board of directors determined that these potentially negative factors were outweighed by the potential benefits of the acquisition above, including the opportunity for CFAC shareholders to benefit from Wowjoint’s possible future growth.

Interest of CFAC Directors and Officers in the Acquisition

In considering the recommendation of the board of directors of CFAC to vote for the proposal to adopt the acquisition, you should be aware that certain members of the CFAC board have agreements or arrangements that provide them with interests in the acquisition that differ from, or are in addition to, those of CFAC shareholders generally. In particular:
 
 
·
if the acquisition is not approved and CFAC fails to consummate an alternative transaction within the time allotted pursuant to its amended articles of association, thus requiring CFAC to liquidate, the ordinary shares held by CFAC’s executives and directors may be worthless because CFAC’s executives and directors are not entitled to receive any of the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering that may be distributed upon liquidation of CFAC. CFAC’s executives and directors own a total of 1,064,062 CFAC ordinary shares. CFAC’s executive officers and directors are contractually prohibited from selling their shares prior to November 16, 2010 or six months after the close of a business combination, unless a shorter period of time is approved by CFAC's public shareholders, during which time the value of the shares may increase or decrease. Thus, it is impossible to determine what the financial impact of the acquisition will be on CFAC’s officers and directors; and
 
 
·
Mr. Hao and Ms. Ni have agreed to loan CFAC funds, without interest, to cover its transaction expenses in connection with the acquisition of Wowjoint in excess of the funds held outside the trust. These funds may not be repaid if the acquisition is not completed.
 
CFAC’s board of directors was aware of these agreements and arrangements during its deliberations on the merits of the acquisition and in determining to recommend to the shareholders of CFAC that they vote for the approval of the acquisition proposal.

 
59

 
 
Certain Other Interests in the Acquisition

In addition to the interests of CFAC’s directors and officers in the acquisition of Wowjoint, certain entities promoting the acquisition and/or soliciting proxies on behalf of CFAC have interests in the acquisition that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of CFAC’s shareholders and CFAC’s public warrantholders.
 
CCM, the lead underwriter in CFAC’s IPO, is assisting CFAC’s directors and officers in connection with these efforts by providing various support and advisory services in connection with the acquisition of Wowjoint. The services to be provided by CCM include identifying potential investors, assisting management in preparing presentations to potential investors, general advice on strategy and tactics in respect of consummation of the acquisition and leveraging CCM’s relationships with other financial institutions to provide other assistance in relation to the acquisition. Such other firms may also be paid fees for their services.
 
Compensation of CCM is contingent upon consummation of the acquisition and is equal to a cash fee of 5% of any amount raised from any U.S. institutional or accredited individual investors, which includes the amount by which an investor increased such investor’s shareholdings since October 15, 2009.  CCM is also entitled to a 6% cash fee of any such amount raised from investors domiciled in China.

Pursuant to an Agreement between CCM and EuroPacific Capital, Inc., CCM will pass along a fee equal to 5% of the market value of any shares an investor acquired due to the efforts of Euro Pacific, to the extent that such shares are voted in favor of CFAC's initial business combination.  CFAC shareholders and warrantholders are advised that the foregoing broker-dealers may therefore be considered to have a financial interest in the successful outcome in the proxy solicitation.

In connection with the IPO, the underwriters agreed to defer underwriting discounts and commissions $1,197,749 from the sale of CFAC units, until the consummation of CFAC’s initial business combination. Pursuant to its Agreement with CFAC, the deferred fee will be paid in cash if CFAC retains $8,000,000 from the funds held in its trust account.  If no funds are retained from the amount in trust, the deferred fee will paid in the form of ordinary share.  If CFAC retains between $0 and $8,000,000, the deferred fee will be paid in a combination of cash and shares, with the cash portion equal to the total amount payable multiplied by the retained proceeds divided by $8,000,000.  The balance of the payment amount due will be paid in the form of ordinary shares. CFAC shareholders and warrantholders are advised that CCM therefore has a financial interest in the successful outcome of the proxy solicitation.

Wowjoint Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

The Wowjoint board concluded that the business combination with CFAC and the related transaction are in the best interests of Wowjoint’s shareholders. Its board had previously decided that having its shares in the United States would assist it in gaining access to additional potential investors and enhance its access to capital markets. The board of Wowjoint determined that entering into the business combination was a way to accomplish that goal in a relatively short time.

Satisfaction of the 80% Test

According to the agreements CFAC entered into in connection with its initial public offering, CFAC’s initial target business or businesses in the aggregate must have a fair market value, as determined by its board of directors, equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of the business combination. The fair market value of Wowjoint was calculated by CFAC’s management team to be $132,595,866, which represents approximately 389% of the balance in the trust account as of June 30, 2009, which were approximately $34.1 million (not including potential payments to redeeming shareholders).

CFAC determined the enterprise value of Wowjoint by comparing it to 17 public companies having certain characteristics similar to Wowjoint. These companies were selected because they are producers of construction equipment which is similar in nature to Wowjoint’s products. Although producing construction equipment is the main business for each of these companies, most of them offer different product lines and some of them have wider product offerings than Wowjoint. They serve various customers in different industries and in different countries. Three of the companies are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, three on NASDAQ, two on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in China, one on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in China, one on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, three on the Tokyo Exchange, one on the Prime Standard of the German Stock Exchange, one on the Paris Stock Exchange, one on the Vienna Stock Exchange and one on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki. CFAC used the median of the following ratios and applied the ratio to Wowjoint in order to determine its enterprise value: Enterprise Value/Revenue and Enterprise Value/Net Income. For Enterprise Value/Revenue, the median of the ratio was the same as the average of the ratio. For Enterprise Value/Net Income, the median of the ratio was less than the average and the results of such calculations were discounted by 10% due to the illiquidity of Wowjoint’s securities. The average and median of each of the ratios for the year 2009 (which were calculated using estimated financial results for the year 2009 based on I/B/E/S Earnings Estimates from Bloomberg on October 9, 2009 and the respective closing prices of their common equity as of October 9, 2009) are as follows:

    Wowjoint’s revenue for the year ended August 31, 2009 was $44,622,159, and its Net Income was $9,783,789. Therefore, based on the median ratios specified above, the average enterprise value was determined to be $132,595,866, as further detailed in the following table:

CFAC’s board believes that the management is qualified to make this analysis and concluded that the business combination with Wowjoint met the 80% asset test requirement without recourse to a fairness opinion from an independent source, because of the financial skills and background of its management.

Appraisal or Dissenters Rights

No appraisal rights are available under Cayman Islands Law for the shareholders of CFAC in connection with the acquisition proposal.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition

CFAC shareholders are encouraged to review the section entitled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the acquisition.”

Regulatory Matters

The acquisition and the transactions contemplated by the share purchase agreement are not subject to the HSR Act or any other material U.S. federal or state regulatory requirement or approval. CFAC does not believe that, in connection with the completion of the acquisition, any consent, approval, authorization or permit will be required in any jurisdiction, including the PRC.

Consequences if Acquisition Proposal is Not Approved

If the acquisition proposal is not approved by the shareholders, CFAC will not acquire Wowjoint, and CFAC will continue to seek other potential business combinations in China.

Required Vote

Approval of the acquisition proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority of CFAC’s ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering. In addition, each CFAC shareholder that holds ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering or purchased following such offering in the open market has the right to vote against the acquisition proposal and, at the same time demand that CFAC redeem such shareholder’s shares for cash equal to a pro rata portion of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of CFAC’s initial public offering is deposited. These shares will be redeemed for cash only if the acquisition is completed and the shareholder requesting conversion holds such shares until the date the acquisition is consummated. However, if the holders of 1,489,687 or more ordinary shares issued in CFAC’s initial public offering-an amount equal to 35% ore more of the total number of shares issued in the initial public offering vote against the acquisition and demand redemption of their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, then CFAC will not be able to consummate the acquisition. Broker non-votes, abstentions or the failure to vote on the acquisition proposal will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Recommendation

After careful consideration, CFAC’s board of directors has determined unanimously that the acquisition proposal is fair to, and in the best interests of, CFAC and its shareholders. CFAC’s board of directors has approved and declared advisable the acquisition proposal and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instructions to vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the acquisition.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the CFAC board of directors is not meant to be exhaustive, but includes the material information and factors considered by the CFAC board of directors.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ACQUISITION PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE ALL OF THE OUSTANDING SHARES OF WOWJOINT.

THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The following summary of the material provisions of the share purchase agreement is qualified by reference to the complete text of the share purchase agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement. All shareholders are encouraged to read the share purchase agreement in its entirety for a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the acquisition.

On November 30, 2009, CFAC entered into the share purchase agreement with Wowjoint and its shareholders. Under the share purchase agreement, CFAC will acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Wowjoint and each of Giant Nova Holdings Limited and AGL will become a wholly owned direct subsidiary of CFAC.

Structure of the Acquisition

At the effective time of the acquisition, CFAC will continue as the operating company and will change its name to Wowjoint Holdings Limited.

Purchase Price-Payment

At the closing, the Wowjoint’s shareholders, subject to adjustments and certain holdbacks, will be paid an aggregate of 5,700,000 ordinary shares of CFAC for all the outstanding shares of AGL and Giant Nova Holdings Limited.  In addition, pursuant to an earn-out provision in the share purchase agreement, CFAC has agreed to issue to Realink, one of shareholders of Giant Nova Holdings Limited, up to 500,000 additional shares if the following performance targets are achieved:

 
·
200,000 earn-out shares in the event that the closing price per share is at or above US$10.00 for 180 days out of 360 days during the period from the acquisition closing date to the second anniversary of the closing date.

 
·
200,000 earn-out shares in the event that the closing price per share is at or above US$13.80 for 180 days out of 360 days during the period from the acquisition closing date to the third anniversary of the closing date.

 
·
100,000 earn-out shares in the event that the average daily trading volume is no less than 200,000 shares for three consecutive months during the period from the closing date of the acquisition to the second anniversary of the closing date.

In addition, the shareholders of Realink-Mr. Yabin Liu, Fude Zhang, Liguo Liu and Yasheng Liu have agreed that 3,696,735 ordinary shares of CFAC held by them shall be held in an escrow account upon consummation of the acquisition.  Such shares held in the escrow account will be released to them after four years from the date of issuance.

The 500,000 earn-out shares exclude the possible issuance of an additional 2,800,000 ordinary shares if the funds left to the combined company following the closing are $1,250,000 or less.
 
 
63

 
 
In the event that the amount of funds available to the combined company in the trust account plus any new capital raised by the combined company immediately after the closing but before paying any closing expenses (the “Available Funds”) is not less than US$8,000,000, CFAC shall cause Chun Yi Hao and Hope Ni (collectively, the “Sponsors”) to deposit an aggregate of 421,875 ordinary shares of CFAC (the “Sponsor Earn-Out Shares”) owned and held by the Sponsors into an escrow account, and such shares shall be released immediately upon satisfaction of one of the following conditions: (1) the Sponsors have helped the combined company, either prior to or after the closing, complete one or a series of financings that have raised, in an accumulative amount including the Available Funds, no less than US$8,000,000 based on such a valuation of Wowjoint for the purpose of financing(s) that is acceptable to Wowjoint or to the combined company; or (2) within 10 months after the completion of the restructuring, CFAC shall introduce at least five institutional investors to meet with Wowjoint for the purpose of negotiating an investment in the combined company.  The Sponsors shall use their reasonable efforts to help the combined company complete such financing on or prior to May 20, 2010.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACQUISITION

The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax considerations for U.S. Holders (as defined below) who exercise their redemption rights in connection with the proposed acquisition of Wowjoint by us.    This summary is based upon existing United States federal income tax law, which is subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary is written for U.S. Holders that hold their ordinary shares, and warrants to acquire ordinary shares, as "capital assets" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  This summary does not discuss all aspects of United States federal income taxation which may be important to particular CFAC shareholders in light of their individual circumstances, such as CFAC shareholders subject to special tax rules (e.g., financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers, tax-exempt organizations, partnerships and their partners, and non-U.S. investors ), U.S. Holders who own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more of our voting stock, U.S. Holders that hold their ordinary shares or warrants as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, or U.S. Investors that have a functional currency other than the United States dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not discuss any state, local, or non-United States tax considerations.  Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state, local, and non-United States income and other tax consequences of the exercise its redemption rights in connection with our the proposed acquisition of Wowjoint.

For purposes of this summary, “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial holder of (A) our ordinary shares or warrants that is, for United States federal income tax purposes: (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any State therein, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, and (iv) a trust that is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court over its administration and one or more United States persons control all substantial decisions, or a trust that has elected to be treated as a United States person under the Code.

If a partnership is a U.S. Holder, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.  Each U.S. Holder that is a partnership and partners in such partnership are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the United States federal, state, local, and foreign income and other tax considerations relating to the proposed acquisition.

U.S. Holders Exercise Their Redemption Rights

If, the proposed acquisition of Wowjoint is approved and consummated, and a U.S. Holder exercises its redemption rights, the exercise of such redemption rights will generally be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  The United States federal income tax consequences (including the character, and amount of income, gain or loss recognized) of a redemption to a U.S. Holder will depend upon, among other things, (1) whether the redemption is treated as a "sale or exchange" or a "distribution" for United States federal income tax purposes; (2) whether CFAC was or may be classified a "passive foreign investment company" (a "PFIC') in any taxable year that a U.S. Holder has held or will hold its ordinary shares; and (3) whether the U.S. Holder has made a "QEF" or a "mark-to-market" election with respect to its ordinary shares.  Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding its particular facts and circumstances that may be relevant to determining the tax consequences of the redemption.
 
 
72

 

Threshold Redemption Considerations

A U.S. Holder that exercises its redemption rights will, depending on such U.S. Holder's particular circumstances, be treated as having either (i) disposed of  such U.S. Holder's ordinary shares in a "sale or exchange" or (ii) received a "distribution" from us in respect of such holder's equity interest in us.

Under section 302 of the Code, a U.S. Holder whose ordinary shares are redeemed by CFAC will be treated as having disposed of such  ordinary shares in a sale or exchange, if such redemption (a) results in a "complete redemption" of such U.S. Holder's equity interest in CFAC, (b) results in a "substantially disproportionate" redemption with respect to such U.S. Holder, or (c) is "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" with respect to such U.S. Holder.  In applying each of the section 302 tests, a U.S. Holder must take into account not only ordinary shares that it actually owns, but also ordinary shares it is deemed to own under the constructive ownership rules of the Code (including, for instance, ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of a warrant).

If a U.S. Holder meets any of the section 302 tests described above in connection with the exercise of its redemption rights, such U.S. Holder will be treated as if it disposed of its ordinary shares in a sale or exchange.  If, on the other hand, a U.S. Holder does not satisfy any of the section 302 tests described above, the redemption of a U.S. Holder's ordinary shares will not be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares.  Instead, amounts received by a U.S. Holder with respect to the redemption of its ordinary shares will be treated as a  distribution to such U.S. Holder in respect or its equity interest in us.  Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor as to whether the redemption of ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of redemption rights will be treated as a sale or exchange or as a distribution with respect to such U.S. Holder's particular circumstances.

Threshold PFIC Considerations

A foreign corporation, such as us, will be classified as a PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes, if 75% or more of its gross income consists of certain types of “passive” income or 50% or more of its assets are passive. For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, rents, royalties, and gains from the sale or other disposition of passive assets. The determination of whether we are, or will become, classified as a PFIC is a fact intensive determination that can only be made after the close of each taxable year. This determination is made annually based on the composition and amounts of income that we earn and the composition and valuation of our assets, all of which are subject to change.

If we are classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ordinary shares, and unless the U.S. Holder makes a "QEF" election in the first year in which such U.S. Holder owns our ordinary shares, or "mark-to-market" election, the U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special tax rules that have a penalizing effect, regardless of whether we remain a PFIC, on (i) any excess distribution that we make to the U.S. Holder (which generally means any distribution paid during a taxable year to a U.S. Holder that is greater than 125 percent of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder's holding period for the ordinary shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition, including a pledge, of ordinary shares.  Under the PFIC rules the:

 
·
excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder's holding period for the ADSs or ordinary shares;
 
·
amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable years in the U.S. Holder's holding period prior to the first taxable year in which we are classified as a PFIC (a “pre-PFIC year”) will be taxable as ordinary income;
 
·
amount allocated to each prior taxable year, other than the current taxable year or a pre-PFIC year, will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect applicable to you for that year; and
 
·
interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than the current taxable year or a pre-PFIC year.

Based on the composition of CFAC assets to date, which have largely consisted of cash and other investment assets, it is likely that CFAC was classified as a PFIC in 2008 and will be classified as a PFIC in 2009.  After the consummation of the proposed acquisition of Wowjoint, we may still be classified as a PFIC depending on the timing of the acquisition and the amount of our passive income and assets and the passive income and assets of the acquired business.  The following discussion is written on the basis that we were classified as a PFIC in 2008 and will be classified as a PFIC in 2009.  The U.S. federal income tax rules that apply if we are classified as a PFIC in 2010 (when the redemption is anticipated to be consummated), are generally discussed below under "Redemption of PFIC Ordinary Shares".  The U.S. federal income tax rules that apply if we are not classified as a PFIC in 2010 , are generally discussed below under "Redemption of Non-PFIC Ordinary Shares".  Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisor concerning the United States federal income tax consequences of the redemption if we are or become classified as a PFIC.

Redemption of PFIC Ordinary Shares

U.S. Holders that Did Not Make a QEF or a Mark-to-Market Election

In the case of a redemption that is treated as a sale or exchange, and if a U.S. Holder did not make a QEF election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder's holding period for our ordinary shares or a mark-to-market election, such U.S. Holder will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received pursuant to the redemption and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in such ordinary shares.  Such income will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder's holding period for the ordinary shares and subject to tax at the highest prevailing rates in effect for such years.  In addition, an interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than the current taxable year.

In the case of a redemption that is treated as a distribution, and if a U.S. Holder did not make a QEF election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder's holding period for our ordinary shares or a mark-to-market election, such U.S. Holder will recognize ordinary income on the amount of cash received pursuant to the redemption that is an "excess distribution" (generally, any distributions paid to a U.S. Holder in respect of our ordinary shares during a single taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by the U.S. Holder during the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder's holding period for such ordinary shares).  Such excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder's holding period for the ordinary shares and subject to tax at the highest prevailing rates in effect for such years.  The amount of such distribution that is not an excess distribution will be subject to tax at the applicable ordinary income tax rate in effect in the year of the redemption.  In addition, an interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than the current taxable year.

U.S. Holders that Made a QEF Election

In the case of a redemption that is treated as a sale or exchange, and if a U.S. Holder made a QEF election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder's holding period for our ordinary shares, such U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received pursuant to the redemption and such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares.

In the case of a redemption that is treated as a distribution, and if the U.S. Holder made a QEF election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder's holding period for our ordinary shares, such U.S. Holder will recognize ordinary dividend income with respect to the amount of cash received pursuant to the redemption, to the extent that such distribution is associated with earnings and profits of the Company not previously included in the income of such holder pursuant to the QEF election.

 
74

 

U.S. Holders that Made a Mark-to-Market Election

In the case of a redemption that is treated as a sale or exchange or as a distribution, and if the U.S. Holder made a valid mark-to-market election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder's holding period of our ordinary shares, such U.S. Holder will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received pursuant to the redemption and such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares.

Redemption of a Non-PFIC

U.S. Holders that Did Not Make a QEF or a Mark-to-Market Election

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the redemption of a Non-PFIC to a U.S. Holder are the same as those described under the heading "Redemption of a PFIC – U.S. Holders that Did Not Make a QEF or a Mark-to-Market Election".

U.S. Holders that Made a QEF Election

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the redemption of a non-PFIC to a U.S. Holder are the same as those described under the heading "Redemption of a PFIC – U.S. Holders that Made a QEF Election".

U.S. Holders that Made a Mark-to-Market Election

In the case of a redemption that is treated as a sale or exchange, and if the U.S. Holder made a valid mark-to-market election with respect to its ordinary shares, such U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received pursuant to the redemption and such U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the ordinary shares.  Such gain or loss generally will be long-term if, on the date of the redemption, the ordinary shares were held by the U.S. Holder for more than one year and will generally be treated as gain or loss from United States sources for foreign tax credit purposes.

In the case of a redemption that is treated as a distribution, and if the U.S. Holder made a valid mark-to-market election with respect to its ordinary shares, the amount of cash received by a U.S. Holder pursuant to the redemption will be treated as a dividend distribution with respect to its ordinary shares.

Warrants

A U.S. Holder that exercises its redemption rights will continue to hold its warrants, if any, and except as described below under the heading "Redemption of the Warrants", should not incur any tax liability with respect to such warrants as a result of the consummation of the acquisition of Wowjoint.

U.S. Holders Do Not Exercise their Redemption Rights

Except as described below under the heading "Redemption of the Warrants", the consummation of the proposed acquisition of Wowjoint will not be a taxable transaction to U.S. Holders that do not exercise their redemption rights.
 
 
75

 

Redemption of the Warrants

If the company redeems a U.S. Holder's warrants in connection with the proposed acquisition of Wowjoint, whether such redemption is treated as a "sale or exchange" or a "distribution" under the Section 302 tests described above, such U.S. Holder will generally be subject to the PFIC rules described under the heading "Threshold PFIC Considerations".  Although, a U.S. Holder may have mitigated its potential increased United States federal income tax liability by making a QEF or mark-to-market election in respect of dividends received or gain recognized on a disposition of our ordinary shares, such QEF or mark-to-market election will not shield a U.S. Holder from the imposition of such tax and interest charge on gain realized on an investment in our warrants.

If the redemption of the warrants is treated as a sale or exchange, a U.S. Holder would recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received pursuant to the redemption and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in such warrants.  Such income would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder's holding period for the warrants at the highest prevailing rates in effect for such years.  In addition, an interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than the current taxable year.

If the redemption of the warrants is treated as a distribution, a U.S. Holder would recognize ordinary income on the amount of cash received pursuant to the redemption that is an "excess distribution" (generally, any distributions paid to a U.S. Holder in respect of the warrants during a single taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by the U.S. Holder during the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder's holding period for such warrants).  Such excess distribution would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder's holding period for the warrants at the highest prevailing rates in effect for such years.  The amount of such distribution that is not an excess distribution would be subject to tax at the ordinary income tax rate in effect in the year of the redemption.  In addition, an interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than the current taxable year or a pre-PFIC year.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

China’s Economic Growth

Since China implemented an open-door policy and initiated economic reforms in the late 1970s, it has gradually shifted from a centrally-planned economy that was largely closed to international trade to a market-oriented economy that has achieved tremendous success in economic development. By 2008, China stood as the third-largest economy in the world after the United States and Japan, according to World Development Indicators database of World Bank. Since China became a member of the World Trade Organization in 2001, its economic growth has continued to be strong. China’s GDP increased from approximately US$1.1 trillion in 1998 to approximately US$4.4 trillion in 2008, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 14.5%, according to National Bureau of Statistics of China.

In November 2008, China’s infrastructure sector was given an additional boost with the announcement of an economic stimulus package worth RMB4 trillion (approx. US$588 billion) to be spent over the next two years, of which over $250 billion is dedicated to transportation infrastructure projects. Wowjoint’s results of operations have been primarily driven by the growth of the PRC economy and it expects that the large-scale infrastructure development programs in China will continue to be its main growth driver, particularly in the areas of railway and highway projects in which it is already a significant player.

According to China Construction Machinery Association, the market size of China’s construction machinery industry in 2007 exceeded US $30.8 billion, ranked second in the world just after the United States, and accounted for one-sixth of the global market. In 2007, China's construction machinery industry continued its rapid growth in both import and export businesses. According to the General Administration of Customs, China's import volume of construction machinery grew 25.7% to US$4.9 billion in 2007 and grew another 21.9% to US $6.0 billion in 2008, and export volume rose 73.5% to US$8.7 billion in 2007 and 54.0% to US$13.4 billion in 2008.

 Within this industry, Wowjoint focuses on providing solutions and custom heavy duty equipment and machinery for the lifting and carrying of large-scale heavy construction materials. Wowjoint’s products are used in the construction of various elevated pavements in railways, highways, urban metro subways and bridges. Wowjoint also provides equipment and machinery to other industries in the applications of lifting and carrying of large scale heavy goods. Expectations regarding projected private sector spending in the lifting and carrying equipment market in China are generally positive. Industry experts recently reported that they expect the lifting and carrying equipment category to be one of the fastest growing categories within the construction machinery and equipment industry, growing at approximately 8.2% between 2008 and 2009, according to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers 2008-2009 Outlook for Construction Equipment Business.

Overview of Transportation Infrastructure in China

Infrastructure investment is an important aspect of any country's economy because it serves as a springboard for the development of other sectors of an economy. As a result, construction machinery and equipment are generally in strong demand in countries where infrastructure is growing.

China's high growth has exerted severe pressure on the country's infrastructure, as demands for urban infrastructure, electricity and improved transport networks are constantly on the rise. In order to meet these demands and help counter the effects of the global economic slowdown, in late 2007, China announced plans to implement a comprehensive upgrade of its infrastructure, in particular its transportation systems.

 
80

 

There are two China government agencies overseeing the planning and investment of China transportation infrastructure, the Ministry of Communications and Ministry of Railways (“MOR”). In 2006, the China government invested approximately US$108 billion in transportation infrastructure construction, an increase of 14.6% over investment made in 2005. From 2001 to 2005, an estimated US$322 billion was invested in China’s transportation infrastructure (including highways and waterways), a 117% increase from the previous five-year period (1996 – 2000). According to the Eleventh Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China (2006-2010) (the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan), the PRC government proposes to increase the overall investment in transportation infrastructure construction by:

 
·
implementing a comprehensive national transportation network;
 
 
·
accelerating the development of railway and metropolitan railway lines;
 
 
·
further improving existing roadway networks; and
 
 
·
further developing pipelines as well as airway and waterway transportations.
 
 The Eleventh Five-Year Plan includes a total investment of approximately US$558 billion in China’s transportation infrastructure (including highway and waterways) during the five-year period between 2006 and 2010, representing an increase of 73.0% from the previous five-year period. The scale and timeframe of the project is expected to lead to an increased demand for cost-efficient custom heavy-duty construction machinery and equipment. This plan excludes the stimulus package announcement by PRC government in late 2008 to counter the economic slow-down due to the world-wide financial crisis.

Railway Construction

China has been developing its railway transportation system rapidly in recent years. By the end of 2007, China’s railway length reached 78,000 kilometers and by the end of 2009, it is estimated that the length will be approximately 87,000 kilometers. According to the PRC government’s plans, the total length of China railway network is expected to increase to 90,000 kilometers by the end of 2010 and, ultimately to 120,000 kilometers by 2020. In addition to the expansion of the railway network, China’s railway system requires significant upgrades in technologies and facilities.

Despite substantial growth in recent years, the current railway transportation capacity in China can only accommodate a portion of the public demand of passengers and cargo, leading to transportation bottlenecks. According to China Railroad Engineering Group, an agency to MOR, despite accounting for approximately 6.0% of the world’s total railway length, China’s railway system handles 24.0% of the world’s total rail freight volume. At the same time, China has a much lower railway network density compared to countries such as the United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan. The expansion and modernization of China’s railway network has become an area of critical concern.

The MOR has estimated that by 2020 the total investment will be in excess of US $730 billion, making funding a priority. Prior to 2005, railway construction projects were funded primarily by the PRC government. Beginning in 2005, the PRC government began to turn to non-governmental sources of funding, including construction bonds, commercial loans, and private investments. In order to maintain the development of China’s railway transportation, the railway construction funding scheme, pursuant to which the only role played by China central government will be market regulator, will become more diversified and market-oriented.
 
 
81

 

Highway Construction

According to the National Highway Plan, known as “7918 Network”, published in 2005, the national highway network will consist of seven highways that radiate from the capital, nine highways that run north to south, and 18 highways that run west to east, with a total length of 85,000 kilometers. The PRC government plans to complete the “7918 Network” within 30 years by investing approximately US$300 billion, with an average annual investment approximately US$20 billion prior to 2010 and approximately US$15 billion per year thereafter until 2020. Currently, 34% of the plan is finished, 19% is under construction and 47% is yet to begin. Together with the railway project, the “7918 Network” creates further demand for specialized construction equipment.

Subway & Urban Rail Transit

China has become the world's largest urban rail transit market, according to China Rail Transit Industry Report 2006 - 2010. Urban rail transit is a safe, convenient and dependable form of transportation that can handle high loads, which makes it an effective solution to urban traffic jams in China. According to a news article from CaiJing, if all of the municipal proposals are approved, the total length of metropolitan railway constructed before the end of 2015 will be approximately 3,400 kilometers. The total estimated spending for the construction of subways and urban rail between 2010 and 2013 is estimated to be US$170 billion.

Water Diversion Project

The vast South–North Water Diversion Project started in 2002. Its purpose is to divert water from the Yangtze River in the south to northern China, where more water is needed for critical agricultural and industrial applications. The project consists of three south-to-north canals, and will cost approximately US$60 billion. When completed in 2020, they will pump about 13 trillion gallons of water to the north every year. The canal in the middle has the most complicated route and may provide the most advantage market opportunities for construction equipment manufacturers.

Railway Maintenance

As more railway and bridges are being built in China, the demand for railway and bridge maintenance equipment is also expected to increase correspondingly. In addition, the introduction and growth of high speed trains are contingent on the mechanization of track maintenance, which has replaced traditional manual work. By 2010, there will be approximately 13,000 kilometers of track capable of supporting 200 kilometers/hour trains and 5,500 kilometers supporting 300 kilometers/hour. The demand for large track maintenance machinery is expected to rise substantially to meet the demand. China’s government is supportive of the domestic manufactured track maintenance business so that the production will meet domestic demand. Chinese manufacturers have been successful in bidding against foreign competitors in the sale of track maintenance machinery based on a comparative price advantage.

Market Outlook

 Although the effects of the global economic slowdown began to surface in late 2007, Wowjoint remains optimistic about the long term prospects for the custom construction equipment and machinery industry in China. The focus on building railway and highway nationwide networks creates strong demand for efficient and cost-effective proven construction equipment and machinery.  China Railway Engineering Corp, an agency of MOR, has estimated that a US$11.9 billion market demand remains for the lifting and carrying of equipment and machinery from now to 2020, of which approximately half is applicable to the products Wowjoint currently produces. Taking the above forecast into consideration, Wowjoint expects the future sales of its infrastructure equipment and machinery products to grow steadily.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF WOWJOINT

The following is a discussion of Wowjoint’s financial condition and results of operations comparing the fiscal years ended August 31, 2008 and 2009. You should consider the foregoing when reviewing the consolidated financial statements and this discussion. You should read this section together with the consolidated financial statements including the notes to those financial statements for the years mentioned above. This discussion includes forward-looking statements which, although based on assumptions that the management of Wowjoint considers reasonable, are subject to risks and uncertainties. The actual results and timing of selected events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Overview

Wowjoint is one of the leading solution providers to the construction of transportation infrastructure specializing in the design, engineering and manufacturing of customized lifting and carrying equipment for the construction of railway, highway, subway and ports. Its diverse products are manufactured with proprietary designs and are marketed under the brand name of “Wowjoint”. Since its inception in March 2004, Wowjoint has experienced significant growth.  Its total net revenue increased 23.2% to US$44.6 million in fiscal year 2009 from US$36.2 million in fiscal year ended August 31, 2008. Its net income increased 148.4% to US$9.8 million in fiscal 2009 from US$3.9 in fiscal 2008. The significant increase in net income is mainly attributable to improved gross margins by effective cost control and an increase in sales of higher margin products.

Wowjoint has maintained a strong market share in China with leading market positions in its four main product lines. Its product mix includes launching gantries, tyre trolleys, special carriers and integrated launching carriers collectively representing 83.5% of its total net revenue for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, compared to 92.9% for fiscal 2008. The market demand for these products has been growing in China due to rapid development of railway networks in China recently. Wowjoint sees a strong demand for its patented proprietary product, the integrated launching carrier, a compact model made for deployment in mountainous and hazardous region. The integrated launching carrier offers functions of launching gantry, trye trolley and special carrier with additional ability going through tunnels while carrying precast concrete road segments. Wowjoint believes the upcoming railway construction already planned in China’s mountainous southwest and northwest regions will create a strong demand in this particular product.

Wowjoint’s strategy is to maintain and enhance its market penetration in railway construction and other key infrastructure development projects in China, such as highway, subways and ports, while expanding its sales internationally. In the fiscal years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, Wowjoint derived 2.5% and 4.3% of its total net revenues, respectively, from sales to international markets, including Russia, Germany, United Arab Emirates and Italy.

Basis of Presentation

The following discussion and analysis of Wowjoint’s financial condition and results of operations is based on the selected financial information at and for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008 and has been prepared based on the financial statements of the companies comprising AGL, its consolidated subsidiary, BXFI and variable interest entity (“VIE”), Beijing Wowjoint, after elimination of inter-company transactions. This information should be read in conjunction with the financial information and notes thereto included in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

 
93

 

On August 25, 2009, AGL, via its wholly owned subsidiary, BXFI, entered into contractual agreements with Beijing Wowjoint and its shareholders, by which BXFI is deemed the primary beneficiary of Beijing Wowjoint, and Beijing Wowjoint being a variable interested entity of AGL, is deemed a subsidiary of AGL under the requirements of the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”); as further described in “Wowjoint Corporate Structure”. According to GAAP, a variable interest entity is required to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns.  The financial and operational results of Beijing Wowjoint and its branch are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition.

The assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interest of a consolidated variable interest entity are accounted for as if the entities were consolidated based on voting interests and the usual accounting rules for which the VIE operates are applied as they would to a consolidated subsidiary as follows:

 
·
Carrying amounts of Beijing Wowjoint and its branch, (the “VIE”)  are consolidated into the financial statements of BXFI as the primary beneficiary (the “Primary Beneficiary” or “PB”);
 
 
·
Inter-company transactions and balances, such as revenues and costs, and receivables and payables, between or among the Primary Beneficiary and the VIE, are eliminated in their entirety;
 
 
·
There is no direct ownership interest by the Primary Beneficiary in the VIE, equity of the VIE is eliminated with an offsetting credit to minority interest.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The basis of accounting differs from that used in the statutory accounts of Beijing Wowjoint, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles of PRC (“PRC GAAP”). Beijing Wowjoint’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”); however, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (“USD”).

Description of Selected Income Statement Items

Sales.   Wowjoint generates revenue from the sales of customized heavy duty machines, including launching gantries, special carriers, tyre trolleys, integrated launching carriers, marine hoists, and other special purpose equipment, as well as from technical services provided for the modification and maintenance of these machines.

Cost of goods sold.  Cost of goods sold consists of costs directly attributable to the manufacture of machines, including the cost of steel, electric control systems and hydraulic  systems, such as hydraulics, cylinders, engine, salaries for labor engaged in production activities, electricity, depreciation, and related expenses. Costs directly attributable to technical services include parts and components purchased for the modification or maintenance of machines and salaries for labor engaged in providing such services.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses mainly include employee benefits, other administrative expenses, such as the planning and financial and human resources, rent, office equipment depreciation, research and development expenses and allowance for doubtful accounts.  Wowjoint expects general and administrative expenses to continue to increase.  Wowjoint will incur additional expenses related to the costs of compliance associated with being a public company, including audit fees, legal fees and investor relations expenses upon the completion of the acquisition.

Selling expenses.  Selling expense is mainly comprised of payroll costs, employee performance incentives, travel/entertainment and other benefits associated with sales.

Other expense.  Other expense consists of interest expense on bank loans, banking expenses, foreign currency exchange loss on export sales and other expenses incurred not directly related to Wowjoint’s business operation.

Income taxes. Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, beginning January 1, 2008, the new EIT law replaced the existing laws for DES and the FIEs. The new standard EIT rate of 25% replaced the 33% rate currently applicable to both DES and FIEs, except for High Tech companies who pay a reduced rate of 15%. Wowjoint is qualified as a high tech company and received tax holiday treatment for a reduced rate of 7.5% for both fiscal 2009 and 2008. This rate ends on December 31, 2009. Starting January 1, 2010, Wowjoint is subject to a tax rate of 15% for three calendar years until December 31, 2012.

Factors Affecting Wowjoint’s Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Wowjoint’s financial condition and results of operations have been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, including those set forth below.

The PRC economic growth

Wowjoint has benefited significantly from the overall economic growth and the demand for railway and highway construction equipment.  During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, Wowjoint derived 97.5% and 95.7% of its revenue from domestic sales in the PRC.  According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the PRC economy grew at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 12.1% from 1997 to 2007.  Wowjoint anticipates that the demand for its equipment in China will continue to increase as the Chinese government carries out its economic stimulus packages and the National Highway Plan. However, any adverse changes in economic conditions or regulatory environment in China may have a material adverse effect on Wowjoint’s future performances.

Competitive pricing of Wowjoint’s products

Wowjoint has been able to increase its gross profit margin through competitive pricing of its products and effective cost management. To increase sales volumes, Wowjoint’s pricing policy is to offer competitive pricing with relatively lower gross profit margin on certain product lines, if the products have high competition and lower technical innovation. Wowjoint may also price its newly introduced products competitively in their first year of introduction in order to promote the market awareness of such products. In order to maintain price competitiveness and sales volumes, Wowjoint reviews its pricing strategy regularly to make adjustments based on various factors, including the market response, the expected product margin, the prices of its competitors’ products and the expected demand from customers.

Relationship with quality outsource contract manufacturers

In 2009, Wowjoint outsourced approximately 27.6% of its machinery production by amount of cost of goods sold to contract manufacturers in comparison to approximately 28.0% of amount of cost of goods sold to contract manufacturers in 2008.  Wowjoint was able to establish long term relationships with a number of outsource contract manufacturers over the years and has been selective in choosing outsource contract manufacturers capable of supplying quality products on a timely manner at more competitive prices.  For risks relating to reliance on outsource contract manufacturing, see “Risk Factors – Risks Associated to Wowjoint’s Business and Its Industry - Wowjoint relies on third parties to complete part of its equipment manufacturing, which may be adversely affected by the sub-standard performance or non-performance of such third parties.”

Effective Cost management

The major raw materials used in the manufacturing of Wowjoint’s products are steel, electric control systems and hydraulic systems, such as hydraulics, cylinders and engines.  To meet its production requirements and maintain a reasonable profit margin, Wowjoint must obtain sufficient quantities of good quality materials from its suppliers in a timely manner and at commercially reasonable prices.  Wowjoint believes that it will be able to offset a portion of any such increased costs through improvement in its production efficiency and improved economies of scale. Historically, Wowjoint has been successful in reducing the cost of raw materials as a percentage of the cost of sales. Wowjoint seeks to capitalize on its purchasing and bargaining power to continue to obtain favorable prices from its major suppliers. Wowjoint uses a cost-plus pricing policy to determine the sales prices of its products.

Level of income tax and preferential tax treatment

Wowjoint’s profit is affected by the income tax that it pays and any preferential tax treatment that it is able to receive.  Pursuant to the PRC Income Tax Laws, beginning January 1, 2008, the new EIT law replaced the existing laws for DES and the FIEs. The new standard EIT rate of 25% replaced the 33% rate currently applicable to both DES and FIEs, except for High Tech companies who pay a reduced rate of 15%. Wowjoint is qualified as a high tech company and received tax holiday treatment for a reduced rate of 7.5% for both fiscal year 2008 and 2009. This rate ends on December 31, 2009. Starting January 1, 2010, Wowjoint is subject to a tax rate of 15% for three calendar years until December 31, 2012.

Analysis of Operations Results

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended August 31, 2009 and 2008

Sales. Sales increased by US$8.4 million, or 23.2%, to US$44.6 million in the year ended August 31, 2009, from US$36.2 million in the year ended August 31, 2008, as a result of a 17.2% (US$6.2 million) increase in machinery sales and a 607.5% (US$2.2 million) increase in technical services. The significant increase in technical services was primarily due to the increased demand by Wowjoint customers for technical services to the equipment previously sold by Wowjoint for new applications.

Cost of goods sold.  Cost of goods sold increased by US$1.1 million, or 3.7%, to US$31.3 million in the year ended August 31, 2009 from US$30.2 million in the year ended August 31, 2008. The cost of machinery sales are primarily composed of the cost of direct raw materials, direct labor and other overhead expenses. The increase in cost of goods sold was mainly due to the increase in sales volume and a corresponding increase in cost of raw materials to manufacture products. Costs of goods sold as a percentage of revenue decreased to 70.1% in fiscal year 2009 from 83.3% in fiscal year 2008 mainly due to a 607% increase in the sales of technical services.

Wowjoint’s main production materials are steel, electric control systems, cylinder and hydraulic systems and electronic devices.

Gross margin.  As a percentage of total sales, the overall gross margin was 29.9% for the year ended August 31, 2009, compared to 16.7% for the same period the previous year, a net increase of 78.7%. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to increased sales in technical service, sales of high-margin products and more efficient cost control. Wowjoint successfully improved the gross margin on launching gantries, tyre trolleys and special carriers, by 18.4%, 7.7% and 15.5%, respectively, to 31.5%, 35.5% and 32.1% in fiscal 2009. Wowjoint also achieved more sales of technical services as a percentage of revenue.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses amounted to approximately US$2.2 million for the year ended August 31, 2009, an increase of approximately US$0.62 million, or 39.7% compared to approximately US$1.6 million the previous year. This increase was the result of increased allowance for doubtful accounts to US$0.80 million in fiscal 2009 from US$0.45 million in fiscal 2008. The increase also reflected the increase in employee benefits to US$1.2 million in fiscal 2009 from US$0.90 million in fiscal 2008, a net increase of 31.7%.

Selling expenses. In the year ended August 31, 2009, selling expenses were approximately US$0.26 million, an increase of US$0.11 million, or 78.6%, from US$0.15 million the year before.  The increase was due to the hiring of additional sales persons and increased marketing related expenses.

Income before income taxes. As a result of the foregoing factors, income before taxation increased by US$6.3 million, or 146.4%, to US$10.6 million in the year ended August 31, 2009, compared with US$4.3 million for fiscal 2008.

Income taxes.  Income tax was approximately US$0.84 million in fiscal 2009 compared with US$0.37 million for fiscal 2008.  Wowjoint had a tax rate of 7.5% for both 2009 and 2008.

Net income. Net income increased US$5.8 million, or 148.4%, to US$9.8 million in fiscal year 2009 from US$3.9 million in fiscal year 2008, as a result of the various factors described above. The net income margins were 21.9% and 10.9% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Analysis of Cash Flow

The following table presents a summary of Wowjoint’s cash flows and beginning and ending cash balances for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008:

Wowjoint has financed its liquidity by operating cash flow and a small amount of short-term bank loans.

Net cash provided by operating activities. Wowjoint’s net cash flow provided by operating activities totaled US$0.76 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, a decrease of US$1.1 million compared to US$1.9 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008. The decrease was primary due to (i) a decrease of US$10.6 million in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings, (ii) a decrease of US$5.1 million in advance from customers offset by a decrease of US$7.5 million in advances to suppliers, and (iii) a decrease of US$2.1 million in inventories.

Net cash used in investing activities. Wowjoint’s net cash used in investing activities was US$0.35 million for the year ended August 31, 2009, compared to US$2.1 million used in investing activities for the prior year. The cash used in investing activities in 2009 for the purchase of equipment was US$0.35 million compared to US$1.1 million used to purchase property, plant and equipment in the prior year.

Net cash provided by financing activities. Cash flows from financing activities amounted to US$(4,817) and US$0.53 million for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Cash flow generated by financing activities consists of proceeds from bank loans, restricted cash, due to and from related parties. Wowjoint received US$0.73 million in proceeds from bank loans in 2009 compared to US$0.98 million from bank loans in 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

To date, Wowjoint’s principal source of liquidity has been cash generated from its operating activities.

As of August 31, 2009, Wowjoint had total assets of US$29.9 million, of which cash amounted to US$1.9 million, accounts receivable amounted to US$14.4 million, other receivables amounted to US$0.23 million, and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billing on uncompleted contracts amounted to US$5.7 million. While working capital was approximately US$14.9 million, equity amounted to US$17.9 million. The current ratio was approximately 2.25:1.

As of August 31, 2009, Wowjoint had a rolling credit facility from Beijing Bank.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Wowjoint does not have any outstanding off-balance sheet arrangements and has not entered into any transactions that are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Wowjoint prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires it to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of its assets and liabilities and the disclosure of its contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each fiscal period, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expense during each fiscal period.  Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recoverability of the carrying amount and the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets and valuation allowances for receivables. Wowjoint continually evaluates these judgments and estimates based on its own historical experiences, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, and its expectations regarding the future based on available information and assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, Wowjoint’s actual results could differ depending on the estimates used.

While Wowjoint’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of its consolidated financial statements appearing at the end of this form, Wowjoint management believes that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating its reported financial results.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  Wowjoint generates revenue from two main categories (i) machinery sales, which includes sales of equipment and components, and (ii) technical services.

1)
Revenue from equipment sales is recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured by references to the proportion of contract costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion.  Equipment sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (“VAT”). All of Wowjoint’s products sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax at a rate of 17 percent of the gross sales price. This VAT may be offset by VAT paid by Beijing Wowjoint on raw materials and other materials included in the cost of producing its finished product.

2)
Revenue from the rendering of technical services is recognized in accordance with the terms stated in the agreements with its customers.

3)
Where contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is treated as an amount due from contract consumers. Where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognized profits less recognized losses, the surplus is treated as an amount due to contract customers.

Impairment allowances for accounts and other receivables

Wowjoint estimates that the impairment allowances for accounts and other receivables by assessing the collectability of the receivables based on the age of the balance, the related customer’s credit history and prevailing market conditions. Allowances are applied to accounts and other receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balance may not be collectible. Wowjoint reassesses the impairment allowances at each balance sheet date.

 
99

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment (other than construction-in-progress) are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method.  Estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

 
Useful Life
Land use rights
40
Plant
20
Furniture and fixtures
5
Equipment
5
Automobiles
5

Foreign Currency Translation

Wowjoint uses the local currency (RMB) as its functional currency.  Translation adjustments are reported as other comprehensive income in the statements of operations and accumulated as other comprehensive income in equity section of consolidated balance sheets.  Financial information is translated into U.S. Dollars at prevailing or current rates, respectively, except for revenues and expenses which are translated at average current rates during the reporting periods.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE MARKET RISKS

Interest Rate Risk.  Wowjoint is exposed to interest rate risk due primarily to its short-term bank loans.  Although the interest rates are fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically twelve months and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal.   Wowjoint monitors interest rates in conjunction with its cash requirements to determine the appropriate level of debt balances relative to other sources of funds.  Wowjoint has not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk.  The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies is affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions.  Since July 2005, the RMB has no longer been pegged to the U.S. dollar.  Although the People’s Bank of China, China’s central bank, regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term.  Moreover, it is possible that, in the future, PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Because substantially all of Wowjoint’s earnings and cash assets are denominated in RMB, but its reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the RMB will affect its balance sheet and its earnings per share in U.S. dollars.  In addition, appreciation or depreciation in the value of the RMB relative to the U.S. dollar would affect Wowjoint’s financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in its business or results of operations. 

Very limited hedging transactions are available in China to reduce Wowjoint’s exposure to exchange rate fluctuations.  To date, Wowjoint has not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk.  While Wowjoint may enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these transactions may be limited, and it may not be able to successfully hedge its exposure at all. In addition, Wowjoint’s foreign currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict its ability to convert RMB into foreign currencies.

 
100

 

Inflation.  Inflationary factors, such as increases in the cost of its raw materials and overhead costs, could impair Wowjoint’s operating results.  Although Wowjoint does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on its ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales revenue if the selling prices of its products do not increase with these increased costs.

INFORMATION ABOUT CFAC
 
Business of CFAC

General

China Fundamental Acquisition Corporation (“CFAC”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on December 12, 2007, as a blank check company formed to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of one or more operating businesses having its primary operations in the PRC through a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, re-organization or similar business combination, or contractual arrangements. Pursuant to its corporate charter, CFAC’s initial business combination must be with a target whose fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the trust account, excluding the deferred underwriting commission compensation, at the time of such acquisition.
 
In May 2008, CFAC sold 4,256,250 units in its initial public offering, which included 90% of the units subject to the underwriters’ overallotment option. Each of its units consists of one share of CFAC’s ordinary shares, $0.001 par value per share, and one warrant, which started to trade separately as of the opening of trading on July 22, 2008. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from CFAC one ordinary share at an exercise price of $5.00. CFAC received net proceeds of approximately $33.9 million from its initial public offering.
 
Effecting a Business Combination
 
Selection of a target business and structuring of a business combination
 
Subject to the requirement that CFAC’s initial business combination must be with a target business with a fair market value that is at least 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of such acquisition, excluding the deferred underwriting commission compensation, CFAC’s management has had virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective target business in China.

To the extent CFAC successfully effects a business combination with Wowjoint, it may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of Wowjoint, including certain of the risks set forth in this proxy statement under “Risk Factors.” Although CFAC’s management has endeavored to evaluate the risks of acquiring Wowjoint, CFAC cannot assure you that it has properly ascertained or assessed all significant risk factors. In evaluating Wowjoint, CFAC’s management has considered, among other factors, the following:
 
 
·
Wowjoint’s financial condition and earnings, and its potential for increased profitability;
 
 
·
the growth potential in China’s infrastructure construction equipment sector;
 
 
·
Wowjoint’s position as a market leader in China’s rapidly growing market for customized lifting, carrying and moving equipment;
 
 
·
the experience, reputation and skill of Wowjoint’s management;
 
 
·
Wowjoint’s competitive position and its strong in-house design capabilities;
 
 
·
costs associated with effecting the acquisition; and
 
 
·
opportunities for growth through add-on acquisitions.

 
102

 

These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of the acquisition of Wowjoint has been based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by CFAC’s management in effecting a business combination consistent with its business objective. In evaluating Wowjoint, CFAC has conducted an extensive due diligence review which has encompassed, among other things, meetings with Wowjoint’s incumbent management and inspection of its facilities, as well as a review of financial and other information that has been made available to CFAC.
 
Fair market value of target business
 
The initial target business that CFAC acquires must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of such acquisition excluding the deferred underwriter commission compensation. The fair market value of the proposed acquisition of Wowjoint has been evaluated by CFAC’s management, based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as actual and potential sales, earnings and cash flow, and book value. The fairness of the proposed transaction was recommended by CFAC’s management to CFAC’s board of directors. CFAC’s board of directors has determined on November 27, 2009, that the transaction is fair to the shareholders of CFAC.
 
Probable lack of business diversification
 
While CFAC may seek to effect business combinations with more than one target business, its initial business combination must be with a target business which satisfies the minimum valuation standard at the time of such acquisition, as discussed above. Given the terms of the Wowjoint acquisition, it is probable that CFAC will have the ability to effect only the Wowjoint acquisition. Accordingly, the prospects for its success entirely depend upon the future performance of Wowjoint. Unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations of entities operating in multiple industries or multiple areas of a single industry, it is probable that CFAC will not have the resources to diversify its operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. By consummating a business combination only with Wowjoint, CFAC’s lack of diversification may subject it to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments.
 
Ability to evaluate the target business’s management
 
CFAC cannot assure you that the new members of the management team following the acquisition will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to help manage a public company.
 
Opportunity for shareholder approval of business combination
 
CFAC will proceed with the Wowjoint acquisition only if a majority of the shares sold in CFAC initial public offering (“IPO Shares”), as defined below, present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting, are voted in favor of the acquisition. In connection with the required vote, all of CFAC’s initial shareholders, including all of its officers and directors, have agreed to vote their respective ordinary shares owned by them immediately prior to CFAC’s initial public offering in accordance with the majority of the ordinary shares voted by the public shareholders. This voting arrangement does not apply to shares included in units purchased by initial shareholders, officers or directors in CFAC’s initial public offering or purchased following its initial public offering in the open market, if any. CFAC will proceed with the acquisition only if a majority of the IPO Shares cast at a meeting to approve the acquisition is voted in favor of the acquisition and shareholders owning not more than 35% of the IPO Shares vote against the acquisition and exercise their redemption rights.

 
103

 

Redemption rights
 
Each holder of ordinary shares of IPO Shares, or the IPO Shares, has the right to have such holder’s IPO Shares redeemed for cash if the shareholder votes against the acquisition of Wowjoint and the acquisition is approved and completed. Such redemption right shall be subject to the requisite approval and completion of the acquisition. The actual per-share redemption price will be equal to the amount in the trust fund, inclusive of any interest, divided by the total number of IPO Shares. Without taking into any account interest earned on the trust fund, the initial per-share redemption price would be $7.9666, or $0.0334 less than the per-unit offering price of $8.00. An eligible shareholder may request redemption at any time after the mailing to CFAC’s shareholders of this proxy statement and prior to the vote taken with respect to the acquisition at the special meeting, but the request will not be granted unless the shareholder votes against the acquisition and the acquisition is approved and completed. Any request for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date of the meeting. It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to shareholders entitled to redeem their shares and who elect redemption will be distributed promptly after completion of the acquisition. Shareholders who convert their shares into their share of the trust fund still have the right to exercise the warrants received as part of the units. CFAC will not complete the acquisition if shareholders owning 35% or more of the IPO Shares exercise their redemption rights.
 
Liquidation if no business combination
 
If CFAC was to expend all of the net proceeds of its initial public offering, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust fund, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the trust fund, the initial per-share liquidation price would be $7.9666, or $0.0334 less than the per-unit offering price of $8.00. The proceeds deposited in the trust fund could, however, become subject to the claims of CFAC’s creditors which could have priority over the claims of its holders of IPO Shares. CFAC cannot assure you that the actual per-share liquidation price will not be less than $7.9666, plus interest, due to claims of creditors. Chun Yi Hao, CFAC’s current chief executive officer, and Hope Ni, the current chairman of the board of directors, have agreed, pursuant to agreements with CFAC and CCM, the lead underwriter of the initial public offering, that, if CFAC distributes the proceeds held in trust to the holders of IPO Shares, they will be personally liable in certain circumstances to pay debts and obligations to vendors or other entities that are owed money by CFAC for services rendered or products sold to CFAC in excess of the net proceeds of its initial public offering not held in the trust account. CFAC cannot assure you, however, that Mr. Hao and Ms. Ni would be able to satisfy those obligations.
 
If the Wowjoint acquisition is not consummated, CFAC will continue to search for a business combination opportunity in China. However, CFAC will be liquidated if it does not consummate a business combination by May 20, 2010, 24 months after the consummation of its initial public offering (or May 20, 2011, 36 months after the consummation of its initial public offering, assuming shareholders agree to an extension by special meeting of CFAC shareholders). If CFAC is unable to consummate a business combination by the expiration of the 24-month or 36-month period, it will then liquidate. Upon notice from CFAC, the trustee of the trust fund will commence liquidating the investments constituting the trust fund and will turn over the proceeds to CFAC’s transfer agent for distribution to CFAC’s public shareholders. CFAC anticipates that its instruction to the trustee would be given promptly after the expiration of the 24-month or 36-month period as described above. Under such circumstances, CFAC will be dissolved and will distribute to all holders of its IPO Shares, in proportion to their respective IPO Shares, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust fund, plus any remaining net assets. CFAC’s pre-IPO shareholders waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to ordinary shares owned by them immediately prior to CFAC’s initial public offering. Thus, there would be no distribution from the trust fund with respect to such shares. There would also be no distribution from the trust fund with respect to CFAC’s warrants.
 
Holders of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive funds from the trust fund only in the event of CFAC’s liquidation or if holders of IPO Shares seek to redeem their respective shares for cash upon the acquisition if the shareholder voted against such acquisition and such acquisition is actually completed by CFAC. In no other circumstances shall a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust fund.

 
104

 

Competition
 
If the acquisition of Wowjoint is completed, CFAC will become subject to competition from the regional and national manufacturers of customized heavy-lifting and carrier equipment noted in “Business—Competition.”
 
Facilities
 
CFAC maintains its executive offices at Room 2301, World-Wide House, 19 Des Voeux Road, Central, Hong Kong. Olympic Spring Limited, a company owned by Chun Yi Hao and Hope Ni collectively, provides this office space and other additional administrative services. Olympic Spring is compensated by CFAC with a $7,500 monthly fee for general and administrative services. CFAC considers its current office space adequate for its current purposes. Upon consummation of the acquisition, CFAC will no longer make use of these facilities and will operate from Wowjoint’s current facilities or other location or facility deemed to be proper.
 
Employees
 
CFAC is currently managed by Mr. Hao and Ms. Ni, who are both also members of CFAC’s board of directors. These individuals are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to CFAC’s affairs. The amount of time they have devoted in any time period has varied based on the availability of suitable target businesses to investigate, although neither Mr. Hao nor Ms. Ni have any other full-time professional engagement. CFAC does not intend to have any other full time employees prior to the consummation of the acquisition.
 
Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements
 
CFAC has registered its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and has reporting obligations, including the requirement to furnish periodic reports on Form 6-K to the Securities and Exchange Commission. In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, CFAC’s annual reports will contain financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP audited and reported on by CFAC’s independent accountants.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
CFAC is not involved in any legal proceedings which may have, or have had a significant effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity, nor is CFAC aware of any proceedings that are pending or threatened which may have a significant effect on such business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CFAC
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with CFAC's financial statements and the related notes and schedules thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Proxy Statement and other reports and filings furnished to the SEC. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by CFAC which attempt to advise interested parties of the factors that may affect CFAC's business and the proposed acquisition, including without limitation the disclosures made under the Risk Factors section.
 
Overview
 
CFAC was formed in December 12, 2007 as a blank check company for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination, one or more operating businesses in China. CFAC has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues from operations to date. To date, CFAC's efforts have been limited to organizational activities, completion of its initial public offering and the evaluation of possible business combinations, including the proposed acquisition of Wowjoint.
 
Financing History
 
On May 15, 2008, CFAC completed its initial public offering of 3,750,000 units at a public offering price of $8.00 per unit. Each unit consisted of one ordinary share and one warrant exercisable for an additional ordinary share. The warrants have an exercise price of $5.00 per warrant share. The warrants are exercisable on the later of CFAC's consummation of an initial business combination and May 15, 2009.
 
Immediately prior to the initial public offering, CFAC completed a private placement of warrants to various investors. The investors purchased warrants exercisable for 1,944,444 ordinary shares for an aggregate purchase price of $1,750,000, or $0.90 per warrant share. The warrants have an exercise price of $5.00 per warrant share. In addition to the private placement of warrants, a warrant to purchase 482,859 shares was sold to Ralco Capital Limited, an entity owned and controlled by Mr. Hao, CFAC's current chief executive officer, and warrants to purchase 481,027 shares were sold to Rising Year Group Limited, an entity owned and controlled by Ms. Ni, CFAC's current chairman.
 
Following the closing of the initial public offering (including the exercise of 90% of the overallotment option) and private placement of warrants, $33,908,250 was placed in a trust account at the London branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to be held until the earlier of (a) the consummation of a business combination or (b) the liquidation of CFAC. The amount placed in the trust account consists of the proceeds of the initial public offering and the private placement of warrants, discussed above, as well as $1,197,749 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that will be released to the underwriters on completion of a business combination.

For the period from December 12, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2008, CFAC had net income of $60,481, which consisted of interest income earned mostly on the trust account investment of $395,995, offset by general and administrative expenses of $335,514, which includes insurance expense of $19,726, traveling expense of $31,633, formation costs of $148,871 and other operating expenses of $135,284.

For the period from December 12, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2008, CFAC had no significant operations.

Results of Operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2008
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, CFAC had a net loss of $200,968, derived from interest income earned mostly on the trust account investment of $86,366, offset by general and administrative expenses of $287,334, which includes professional service expense of $203,940, insurance expense of $15,644, traveling expense of $12,375, and other operating expenses of $55,375.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, CFAC had net income of $21,385, which consisted of interest income earned mostly on the trust account investment of $55,543, offset by general and administrative expenses of $34,158, which includes rent and office expenses of $11,250, insurance expense of $3,595, traveling expense of $4,702, formation costs of $3,866 and other operating expenses of $10,745.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, CFAC had no significant operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The net proceeds from (1) the sale of 4,256,250 units at a public offering price of $8.00 per unit to the CFAC public shareholders in the initial public offering (including the underwriters' 90% exercise of their over-allotment option to the extent of 506,250 units), after deducting offering expenses including $1,191,749 for underwriting discounts and commissions (but not including $1,191,749 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) and (2) the sale of warrants to purchase 1,944,444 shares to CFAC's founders for a purchase price of $1,750,000, was $33,991,954. Of these net proceeds $33,908,250 was placed in trust account.

At June 30, 2009, CFAC had approximately $34,066,563 held in the trust account and had cash outside of the trust account of approximately $27,078. Excluding $33,908,250 in net proceeds from initial public offering in the trust account, CFAC had approximately $158,313 in interest earned but held in the trust account. CFAC intends to use the funds in the cash account $27,078 and $158,313 from the balance of interest earned from trust account amounting to cover due diligence expenses; the costs of investigating a target business or businesses; legal, accounting and other expenses associated with structuring, negotiating and documenting an initial business combination; and office space, administrative services and secretarial support prior to consummating a business combination. CFAC believes that the funds available to it outside of the trust account will be sufficient to allow it to operate until May 20, 2010, by which time the business combination is expected to be consummated.

If the funds available to it outside of the trust account are insufficient to cover its expenses, CFAC may be required to raise additional capital, the amount, availability and cost of which is currently unascertainable. In this event, it could seek such additional capital through loans or additional investments from its sponsors, Mr. Hao or Ms. Ni, but none of such sponsors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or invest in, CFAC. Any such interest income not used to fund working capital requirements or repay advances from the sponsors or for due diligence or legal, accounting and non-due diligence expenses will be usable to pay other expenses that may exceed current estimates.
 
Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

On December 12, 2007, Ralco Capital Limited, 100% owned by CFAC’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Hao and Rising Year Group Limited, 100% owned by the Chairman of  CFAC’s board of directors, Ms. Ni, CFAC’s director, Dr. Ma, and special adviser, Mr. Tan purchased 1,257,813 ordinary shares and warrants of CFAC for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. Ralco Capital Limited and Rising Year Group Limited transferred 45,000 of their ordinary shares and warrants to Oliveira and Globis, respectively, in February 2008. On April 14, 2008, CFAC repurchased from Ralco Capital Limited and Rising Year Group Limited an aggregate of 179,688 ordinary shares and warrants at nominal cost, leaving 1,078,125 ordinary shares and warrants outstanding (14,063 of which are subject to forfeiture as the underwriters exercised only 90% of their over-allotment option).

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement CFAC’s original shareholders will be entitled to certain registration rights. Specifically, (i) the private placement warrants and the underlying ordinary shares will be entitled to certain registration rights commencing upon the consummation of a business combination; and (ii) the original shareholders’ ordinary shares will be entitled to certain registration rights six months after the consummation of a business combination. CFAC is only required to use its best efforts to cause a registration statement relating to the resale of such securities to be declared effective and, once effective, only to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement. The holders of warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of CFAC’s ordinary shares or any voting rights until such holders exercise their respective warrants and receive ordinary shares. Permitted transferees that receive any of the above described securities from CFAC’s original shareholders will, under certain circumstances, be entitled to the registration rights described herein. CFAC will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Commencing on December 12, 2007, CFAC agreed to pay Olympic Spring Limited, a company jointly and equally owned by Chun Yi Hao and Hope Ni, a total of $7,500 per month for office space, administrative services and secretarial support for a 24 month period This arrangement was agreed to by Olympic Spring Limited for CFAC’s benefit and is not intended to provide Olympic Spring Limited compensation in lieu of a management fee. CFAC believes that such fees are at least as favorable as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

CFAC will reimburse its officers and directors for any reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on CFAC’s behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations. Subject to availability of proceeds not placed in the trust account and up to an aggregate of $0.85 million of the interest income, net of taxes, on the balance in the trust account to be released to CFAC, there is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses that could be incurred. This formula was a result of a negotiation between CFAC and the underwriters and was meant to help maximize the amount of money in the trust account that would be returned to the investors if CFAC does not consummate a business combination within the permitted time.

Other than the $7,500 per month administrative fees and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses payable to Olympic Spring Limited, no compensation or fees of any kind, including finders and consulting fees, will be paid to any of CFAC’s directors, or to any of their respective affiliates for services rendered to CFAC prior to or with respect to the business combination.

After a business combination, any of CFAC directors who remain with Wowjoint Holdings Limited may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials furnished to CFAC’s shareholders. It is unlikely that the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of a shareholder meeting held to consider a business combination, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.

CFAC’s board of directors has approved the procedure whereby all ongoing and future transactions between CFAC and any of its directors or their respective affiliates, including loans by its directors, will be on terms believed by CFAC at that time, based upon other similar arrangements known to it, to be no less favorable than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions or loans, including any forgiveness of loans, will require prior approval in each instance by a majority of CFAC’s uninterested “independent” directors, to the extent CFAC have independent directors, or the members of CFAC’s board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at CFAC’s expense, to its attorneys or independent legal counsel. It is CFAC’s intention to obtain estimates from unaffiliated third parties for similar goods or services to ascertain whether such transactions with affiliates are on terms that are no less favorable to it than are otherwise available from such unaffiliated third parties. If a transaction with an affiliated third party were found to be on terms less favorable to it than with an unaffiliated third party, CFAC would not engage in such transaction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement “FASB” issued Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 168”).  SFAS No. 168 will become the single source of authoritative non governmental U.S. GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), and related accounting literature.  SFAS No. 168 reorganizes the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure.  Also included is relevant SEC guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections.  SFAS No. 168 will be effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009.  This statement will have an impact on CFAC’s financial statements since all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be references in accordance with SFAS No. 168.

Subsequent Events 

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”). This Statement establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS No. 165 is not expected to have a material impact on CFAC’s financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, CFAC implemented SFAS No. 157, 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. In accordance with the provisions of FSP No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, CFAC has elected to defer implementation of SFAS No. 157 as it relates to its non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a non recurring basis until January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 to CFAC's financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities, that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually, did not have an impact on CFAC's financial results.

The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

Effective January 1, 2008, CFAC implemented SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have an impact on CFAC's financial results.

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statement to evaluate the nature of financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. CFAC expects SFAS No. 141R will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements when effective, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions consummated after the effective date. CFAC is still assessing the impact of this standard on its future consolidated financial statements.

Noncontrolling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — and amendment of ARB No. 51

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — and amendment of ARB No. 51. The provisions of SFAS No. 160 establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interests of a subsidiary. The provisions of SFAS No. 160 are effective for CFAC in fiscal year 2009 and will be applied prospectively, except for the presentation of the noncontrolling interests, which for all periods would be reclassified to equity in the consolidated balance sheet and adjusted out of net income in the consolidated statements of operations. CFAC is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS No. 160 on its future consolidated financial statements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. CFAC has identified the following as its critical accounting policies:
 
Cash and cash equivalents. CFAC considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
CFAC's primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, including recent reductions instituted by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, particularly because the majority of CFAC's investments held in the trust account are in rate sensitive short-term marketable securities. Due to the nature of CFAC's short-term investments, it believes that it is not subject to any material market risk exposure other than interest rate fluctuations. CFAC does not have any foreign currency or other derivative financial instruments.

In addition, following the anticipated acquisition transaction, it is possible that some or all of CFAC’s revenues and expenses may be denominated in non-U.S. currencies, primarily Renminbi, which could subject us to increased risks relating to foreign exchange rate fluctuations that could have a material adverse effect on CFAC’s business, financial condition and operating results.

In connection with the acquisition of Wowjoint, it is currently anticipated that CFAC will be retaining Sherb & Co., LLP, certified public accountant, the current independent auditors of Wowjoint, as the independent registered public accounting firm on a going forward basis, since Wowjoint’s historical operations will represent the operations of CFAC on a going forward basis upon the acquisition of Wowjoint. The retention of Sherb & Co., LLP will not be effectuated until the acquisition of Wowjoint has been completed, and CFAC has not previously retained or worked with Sherb & Co., LLP. All applicable securities filings of CFAC in connection with this anticipated change of auditors will be made at such time as they are required.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared assuming that the acquisition through share exchange between CFAC and Wowjoint had occurred (i) at the beginning of each of the applicable periods for the pro forma statements of operations and (ii) at August 31, 2009, for the pro forma balance sheet.  The unaudited pro forma combined financial information presents two possible scenarios for the approval of the acquisition by CFAC’s shareholders, as follows:

 
·
Assuming No Redemption of Shares: This presentation assumes that no shareholders exercised their redemption rights; and

 
·
Assuming Maximum Redemption of Shares: This presentation assumes that holders of 1,489,687 shares of CFAC outstanding ordinary shares (one share less than 35%) exercise their redemption rights.

The accompanying pro forma combined financial statements illustrate the effect of the share purchase agreement among China Fundamental Acquisition Corporation, Giant Nova Holdings Limited, and AGL and its subsidiaries, on the Company's financial position and results of operations.  The pro forma combined balance sheet as of August 31, 2009, is based on historical unaudited balance sheet of China Fundamental Acquisition Corporation as of June 30, 2009, audited balance sheet of Giant Nova Holdings Limited as of August 31, 2009, and audited balance sheet of AGL as of August 31, 2009. The pro forma combined balance sheet assumes the acquisition took place on September 1, 2008.

The pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2009, is based on historical unaudited statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2009, of China Fundamental Acquisition Corporation, audited statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2009, of Giant Nova Holdings Limited and audited statement of operations for the year ended August 31, 2009 of AGL and its subsidiaries. The pro forma combined statement of operations assumes the acquisition took place on September 1, 2008.

The pro forma combined financial statements may not be indicative of the actual results of the acquisition and there can be no assurance that the foregoing results will be obtained. In particular, the pro forma combined financial statements are based on management's current estimates of the share purchase agreement. The actual may differ.

The accompanying pro forma combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of China Fundamental Acquisition Corporation, Giant Nova Holdings Limited, and AGL and its subsidiaries.

Actual results could differ from the pro forma information presented and depend on several variables, including, pursuant to an earn-out provision in the share purchase agreement, the issuance to Realink, one of shareholders of Wowjoint, up to 500,000 additional shares if the following performance targets are achieved (1)  200,000 earn-out shares in the event that the closing price per share is at or above US$10.00 for 180 days out of 360 days during the period from the acquisition closing date to the second anniversary of the closing date; (2) 200,000 earn-out shares in the event that the closing price per share is at or above US$13.80 for 180 days out of 360 days during the period from the acquisition closing date to the third anniversary of the closing date; and (3) 100,000 earn-out shares in the event that the average daily trading volume is no less than 200,000 shares for three consecutive months during the period from the closing date of the acquisition to the second anniversary of the closing date. Upon issuance, such shares will be recorded as an adjustment to the accounting acquirees basis in the reverse acquisition (i.e., as an adjustment at par value to ordinary shares and additional paid-in capital), and will be included in the calculations of earnings per share from that date.

 
113

 

In order to ensure that the acquisition is approved by the shareholders, CFAC, Wowjoint and their respective affiliates may enter into transactions to purchase or facilitate the purchase of ordinary shares of CFAC from shareholders who have indicated their intention to vote against the acquisition and seek redemption of their shares for cash. Such transactions may be entered into prior to the meeting of shareholders to approve the acquisition, but would not be completed until the acquisition was consummated. Such purchases could result in all or substantially all of CFAC’s trust fund being expended to pay for such share repurchases post-transaction, which could result in Wowjoint not receiving any working capital from the trust account to fund its post-transaction business operations. Such purchases could also result in the issuance of additional ordinary shares or warrants of CFAC as an inducement for third parties to purchase such shares. The lack of trust funds to fund Wowjoint’s business operations could have a material adverse effect on its operations and business prospects. No such transactions have occurred or been entered into as of the date of this proxy statement. If any of the funds held in CFAC’s trust account are used to purchase ordinary shares of CFAC from holders who would have otherwise voted against the acquisition, holders of CFAC’s public stock who purchased such shares in CFAC’s initial public offering may have grounds to seek rescission of the purchase of the units the holder acquired in the initial public offering. In such event, CFAC would be required to reclassify those shares subject to rescission rights outside of shareholders’ equity. Due to the uncertainty associated with the potential transactions described above, the financial information presented below does not give effect to such matters.

The acquisition will be accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” since, immediately following completion of the transaction, the shareholders of Wowjoint immediately prior to the acquisition will have effective control of CFAC through (1) their approximately 51.7% shareholder interest in the combined entity, assuming no share redemptions (59.8% in the event of maximum share redemptions), (2) majority representation on the board of directors (initially four out of five members), and (3) being named to all of the senior executive officer positions. For accounting purposes, Wowjoint will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction will be treated as a recapitalization of Wowjoint, i.e., a capital transaction involving the issuance of share by CFAC for the share of Wowjoint. Accordingly, the combined assets, liabilities and results of operations of Wowjoint will become the historical financial statements of CFAC at the closing of the transaction, and CFAC assets (primarily cash and cash equivalents), liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with Wowjoint beginning on the acquisition date. No step-up in basis or intangible assets or goodwill will be recorded in this transaction. As this transaction is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition, all direct costs of the transaction will be charged to additional paid-in capital.

Corporate Governance

Board Committees
 
CFAC does not have an audit committee, nominating committee or compensation committee and therefore the entire board of directors performs those functions for CFAC. The board of directors has not determined whether anyone on the board of directors is an audit committee financial expert, as such term is defined by SEC rules. Since the board of directors does not have a separately designated Audit Committee and CFAC will not have any operating activities until such time as CFAC enters into a business combination, CFAC has not made the determination of whether anyone is an audit committee financial expert.
 
Director Independence
 
CFAC’s board of directors has not determined if any of its directors qualifies as independent, although CFAC’s management believes that Jibing Li and Chun Liu would qualify as independent directors under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market following the acquisition because they do not currently own a large percentage of Wowjoint’s capital stock, are not currently employed by Wowjoint, have not been actively involved in the management of Wowjoint and do not fall into any of the enumerated categories of people who cannot be considered independent in the NASDAQ Share Market Rules. CFAC’s board of directors will make a determination about independence after the acquisition is consummated. CFAC does not have an audit committee, nominating committee or compensation committee and therefore the entire board of directors performs those functions for CFAC.

 
123

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
During the last fiscal year, no officer and employee of CFAC, and no former officer of CFAC, during the last completed fiscal year, participated in deliberations of CFAC’s board of directors concerning executive officer compensation.

Independent Auditor

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and the period from December 12, 2007 (Inception) to December 31, 2007, CFAC’s principal independent registered public accounting firm was UHY Vocation HK CPA Limited, located at 3/F, 50 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong. BDO Seidman, LLP has completed engagement of the initial public offering on May 27, 2008 and interim review for the period from December 12 (Inception) to June 30, 2008. On June 15, 2009, CFAC appointed UHY Vocation HK CPA Limited as its principal independent registered public accounting firm to perform the audits for the period from December 12, 2007, its inception, through December 31, 2008.

The following table represents the approximate aggregate fees for service rendered by UHY Vocation HK CPA Limited and BDO Seidman, LLP for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and the period from December 12, 2007 (Inception) to December 31, 2007 and 2008.

CFAC does not have an Audit Committee. The board of directors does not have any pre-approval policies in place.
 
Code of Ethics
 
CFAC does not have a formal code of ethics. Upon consummation of a business combination, CFAC intends to adopt a code of ethics that applies to CFAC’s principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.

Family Relationships

Apart from the relationship between Yabin Liu and Yasheng Liu described above, there are no family relationships among any of the CFAC directors and executive officers.

Conflicts of Interest

In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, CFAC's existing chief executive officer and each of its existing directors has agreed, until the earliest of the initial business combination, the liquidation of CFAC or such time as he or she ceases to be an officer or director, to present to CFAC for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any business opportunity with a fair market value of $26 million, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations the individual might have. CFAC has also agreed not to consummate a business combination with an entity with which its officers and directors are affiliated. Furthermore, none of CFAC's directors, nor any entity with which they are affiliated, will be paid any finder's fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate the consummation of an initial business combination. CFAC will not enter into a business combination with any of its officers, directors, any of their affiliates or any portfolio company of any of their affiliates.

 
124

 

CFAC officers and directors may have the following conflicts of interest: 

 
·
In the course of their other business activities, including Ms. Ni’s role as a member of the board of directors of JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd., KongZhong Corporation and ATA Inc., CFAC’s officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to CFAC as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. They may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. For a complete description of CFAC management’s other affiliations, see "Current Directors and Executive Officers."
 
 
·
Although Mr. Hao and Ms. Ni have expressed their commitment to CFAC's success, they are not required to devote any specific number of hours to CFAC's affairs and accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time among various business activities.
 
 
·
In the event CFAC dissolves and liquidates because it fails to complete a business combination, the shares and warrants owned by the CFAC founders will be worthless, resulting in potentially significant losses to them. The desire by the CFAC founders to avoid rendering their securities worthless may result in a conflict of interest when they determine whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business combination are appropriate and in the best interests of the CFAC shareholders, and the conflict of interest will increase as the deadline for a business combination approaches and CFAC has not consummated a business combination.
 
 
·
Certain of the CFAC directors may enter into consulting or employment agreements with CFAC as part of a business combination, pursuant to which they may be entitled to compensation for their services which may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target acquisition, and timely completing a business combination.
 
 
·
Certain of CFAC's directors may purchase ordinary shares of CFAC in the open market, and they are entitled to vote these shares as they choose on a proposal to approve a business combination.

In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:

 
·
the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;
 
 
·
the opportunity is within the corporation's line of business; and
 
 
·
it would not be fair to the corporation and its shareholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.

Accordingly, as a result of their multiple business affiliations, CFAC's directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. The following table lists CFAC's current directors, their affiliated entities with which a conflict of interest is reasonably likely and the priority for or against CFAC reflected in the agreements.

Mr. Hao and Ms. Ni may be required to present business opportunities to their affiliated entities if the business opportunity is within the line of business of their affiliated entities. For a description of the lines of business of Messrs. Hao and Ma's affiliated entities and those of Ms. Ni, see "Current Directors and Executive Officers."

In connection with the vote required for CFAC's initial business combination, all of CFAC's founders have agreed to vote their respective ordinary shares in the same manner as a majority of the outstanding shares held by the CFAC public shareholders. In addition, they have agreed to waive their respective rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to their founders' shares. Any ordinary shares acquired by the founders after CFAC's initial public offering will be considered part of the holdings of the CFAC public shareholders. These founders will have the same rights as other public shareholders with respect to such shares, including voting rights in connection with a potential business combination. Accordingly, they may vote such shares on a proposed business combination any way they choose.

In order to reduce the potential for actual or apparent conflicts, CFAC will not acquire or invest in any company that is an affiliate of an entity with which a member of its board of directors or management is affiliated.

Certain Other Interests in the Acquisition

In addition to the interests of CFAC’s directors and officers in the acquisition of Wowjoint, certain entities promoting the acquisition and/or soliciting proxies on behalf of CFAC have interests in the acquisition that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of CFAC’s shareholders and CFAC’s public warrantholders.
 
CCM, the lead underwriter in CFAC’s IPO, is assisting CFAC’s directors and officers in connection with these efforts by providing various support and advisory services in connection with the acquisition of Wowjoint. The services to be provided by CCM include identifying potential investors, assisting management in preparing presentations to potential investors, general advice on strategy and tactics in respect of consummation of the acquisition and leveraging CCM’s relationships with other financial institutions to provide other assistance in relation to the acquisition. Such other firms may also be paid fees for their services.
 
Compensation of CCM is contingent upon consummation of the acquisition and is equal to a cash fee of 5% of any amount raised from any U.S. institutional or accredited individual investors, which includes the amount by which an investor increased such investor’s shareholdings since October 15, 2009.  CCM is also entitled to a 6% cash fee of any such amount raised from investors domiciled in China.

Pursuant to an Agreement between CCM and EuroPacific Capital, Inc., CCM will pass along a fee equal to 5% of the market value of any shares an investor acquired due to the efforts of Euro Pacific, to the extent that such shares are voted in favor of CFAC's initial business combination.  CFAC shareholders and warrantholders are advised that the foregoing broker-dealers may therefore be considered to have a financial interest in the successful outcome in the proxy solicitation.

 
126

 

In connection with the IPO, the underwriters agreed to defer underwriting discounts and commissions $1,197,749 from the sale of CFAC units, until the consummation of CFAC’s initial business combination. Pursuant to its Agreement with CFAC, the deferred fee will be paid in cash if CFAC retains $8,000,000 from the funds held in its trust account.  If no funds are retained from the amount in trust, the deferred fee will paid in the form of ordinary share.  If CFAC retains between $0 and $8,000,000, the deferred fee will be paid in a combination of cash and shares, with the cash portion equal to the total amount payable multiplied by the retained proceeds divided by $8,000,000.  The balance of the payment amount due will be paid in the form of ordinary shares. CFAC shareholders and warrantholders are advised that CCM therefore has a financial interest in the successful outcome of the proxy solicitation.

Director Compensation
 
CFAC’s directors do not currently receive any cash compensation for their service as members of the board of directors.
 
Upon consummation of the acquisition, the current and newly elected non-employee directors will receive varying levels of compensation for their services as directors based on their eligibility to be members of various committees of the surviving company post acquisition. CFAC anticipates that directors’ compensation will be determined in accordance with industry practices and standards.
 
Executive Compensation
 
CFAC
 
Prior to the acquisition, no executive officer of CFAC had received any cash compensation for services rendered to CFAC. CFAC is paying Olympic Spring Limited, an entity jointly owned and controlled by Mr. Hao and Ms. Ni, a fee of $7,500 per month for providing administrative services, but only until the consummation of the proposed acquisition. Other than the fee payable to Olympic Spring Limited, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, or similar compensation, will be paid to any of CFAC’s officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with a business combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on CFAC's behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses, and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than CFAC’s audit committee, which includes persons who may seek reimbursement, or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged. Because of the foregoing, CFAC will generally not have the benefit of independent directors examining the propriety of expenses incurred on CFAC’s behalf and subject to reimbursement.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

CFAC

On December 12, 2007, Ralco Capital Limited, 100% owned by CFAC’s current chief executive officer, Mr. Hao and Rising Year Group Limited, 100% owned by the current chairman of its board of directors, Ms. Ni, its director, Dr. Ma, and special adviser, Mr. Tan, purchased 1,257,813 ordinary shares and warrants of the CFAC for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. Ralco Capital Limited and Rising Year Group Limited transferred 45,000 of their ordinary shares and warrants to Oliveira and Globis, respectively, in February 2008. On April 14, 2008, CFAC repurchased from Ralco Capital Limited and Rising Year Group Limited an aggregate of 179,688 ordinary shares and warrants at nominal cost, leaving 1,078,125 ordinary shares and warrants outstanding.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement CFAC’s pre-IPO shareholders will be entitled to certain registration rights. Specifically, (a) the private placement warrants and the underlying ordinary shares will be entitled to certain registration rights commencing upon the consummation of a business combination; and (b) the existing shareholders’ ordinary shares will be entitled to certain registration rights six months after the consummation of a business combination. CFAC is only required to use its best efforts to cause a registration statement relating to the resale of such securities to be declared effective and, once effective, only to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement. The holders of warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of CFAC’s ordinary shares or any voting rights until such holders exercise their respective warrants and receive ordinary shares. Permitted transferees that receive any of the above described securities from its existing shareholders will, under certain circumstances, be entitled to the registration rights described herein. CFAC will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

CFAC agreed to pay Olympic Spring Limited, a company jointly and equally owned by Chun Yi Hao and Hope Ni, a total of $7,500 per month for office space, administrative services and secretarial support for a 24 month period commencing in May 2008. This arrangement was agreed to by Olympic Spring Limited for CFAC benefit and was not intended to provide Olympic Spring Limited compensation in lieu of a management fee. CFAC believes that such fees were at least as favorable as it could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

Chun Yi Hao and Hope Ni had provided CFAC with loans in the aggregate amount of $70,000. These loans were provided to pay the expenses of this offering referenced in the line items above for the SEC registration fee, FINRA registration fee, and certain accounting and legal fees and expenses. The loans were non-interest bearing and unsecured. The loans were repaid in June 2008 out of the proceeds of the initial public offering not placed in the trust account.

CFAC will reimburse its officers and directors for any reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on its behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations. Subject to availability of proceeds not placed in the trust account and up to an aggregate of $0.85 million of the interest income, net of taxes, on the balance in the trust account to be released to it, there is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses that could be incurred. This formula was a result of a negotiation between CFAC and the underwriters and was meant to help maximize the amount of money in the trust account that would be returned to the investors if it does not consummate a business combination within the permitted time.

Other than the $7,500 per month administrative fees and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses payable to Olympic Spring Limited, no compensation or fees of any kind, including finders and consulting fees, will be paid to any of CFAC’s directors, or to any of their respective affiliates for services rendered to CFAC prior to or with respect to the business combination.

 
130

 

After a business combination, any of CFAC’s directors who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials furnished to its shareholders. It is unlikely that the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of a shareholder meeting held to consider a business combination, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.

CFAC’s board of directors has approved the procedure whereby all ongoing and future transactions between CFAC and any of its directors or their respective affiliates, including loans by CFAC’s directors, will be on terms believed by it at that time, based upon other similar arrangements known to it, to be no less favorable than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions or loans, including any forgiveness of loans, will require prior approval in each instance by a majority of CFAC’s uninterested “independent” directors, to the extent it has independent directors, or the members of CFAC’s board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at its expense, to its attorneys or independent legal counsel. It is CFAC’s intention to obtain estimates from unaffiliated third parties for similar goods or services to ascertain whether such transactions with affiliates are on terms that are no less favorable to it than are otherwise available from such unaffiliated third parties. If a transaction with an affiliated third party were found to be on terms less favorable to CFAC than with an unaffiliated third party, it would not engage in such transaction.

Anti-Dilution Protection

CFAC’s pre-IPO shareholders hold 1,064,062 ordinary shares and 1,064,062 warrants as of the date of this proxy statement, an amount that is 20% of the total number of ordinary shares and warrants that are outstanding. As the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option to the extent of 90%, 126,563 ordinary shares and warrants purchased by CFAC’s pre-IPO shareholders were forfeited so that the number of ordinary shares and warrants owned by its pre-IPO shareholders after the initial public offering was 20% of the total number of units outstanding after the initial public offering.

Advisors
 
CCM has provided financial advisory services to CFAC in connection with the proposed acquisition. Compensation of CCM is contingent on consummation of the acquisition and will vary depending on the amount of funds left in the trust fund following the closing of the acquisition.

Wowjoint’s Related Transactions

The “Amount due from related parties” and “Due to related parties” represented the advances to or from Wowjoint’s shareholders. The amounts were unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. As of August 31, 2009 and 2008, amount due from related parties amounted to $31,104 and $420,267, respectively. As of August 31, 2009 and 2008, amount due to related parties amounted to $0 and $156,606, respectively.

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of CFAC’s ordinary shares as of November 30, 2009 by:
 
 
·
each person known by CFAC to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of its outstanding ordinary shares both before and after consummation of the acquisition;
 
 
·
each of CFAC’s directors, officers and its special advisor;
 
 
·
all CFAC’s current directors and officers as a group (three persons).

Each shareholder’s beneficial ownership is based on 5,320,312 ordinary shares of CFAC outstanding as of November 30, 2009, and assuming 5,700,000 shares of CFAC are issued in the proposed acquisition, and further assuming that none of CFAC’ s public shareholders owning shares issued by CFAC in its initial public offering vote against the acquisition and exercise their redemption rights.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of ordinary shares beneficially owned by them. The following table does not include the private warrants or the public warrants.

SECURITIES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

CFAC currently has 5,320,312 ordinary shares outstanding. Of these shares, the 4,256,250 ordinary shares sold in CFAC’s initial public offering are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended except for any ordinary shares purchased by one of CFAC’s affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. After the acquisition of Wowjoint, assuming (i) the issuance of approximately 5,700,000 ordinary shares to the shareholders of Wowjoint in connection with the share purchase agreement and (ii) that none of CFAC’s shareholders exercise their right to redeem their shares, there will be 11,020,312 CFAC’s ordinary shares outstanding, of which all but 1,064,062 shares held by CFAC’s initial shareholders and 5,700,000 shares issued to the shareholders of Wowjoint under the share purchase agreement will be registered or freely tradable without securities law restrictions. In addition, pursuant to an earn-out provision in the share purchase agreement, CFAC has agreed to issue to Wowjoint shareholder 500,000 ordinary shares by achieving a certain performance milestones ("Earn-out Shares", as defined in the share purchase agreement). CFAC may file a registration statement relating to resales of these shares by the initial shareholders or the shares issued under share purchase agreement upon the acquisition of Wowjoint or the Earn-out Shares. Additionally, any of these shares held by affiliates, as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which generally includes officers, directors or 10% shareholders, will also be restricted from public sale as restricted shares.

There are 7,489,756 outstanding warrants, each warrant entitled to the purchase of one share. The shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants will also be freely tradable, provided that there is a registration statement in effect at the time of their exercise. CFAC intends to use its best efforts to cause such a registration statement to be in effect at that time that the warrants become exercisable.

Of the total outstanding warrants, 4,256,250 warrants were issued as part of the underlying units being offered at CFAC's initial public offering.

In addition, CFAC’s initial shareholders own warrants to purchase 1,064,062 ordinary shares, which warrants and the underlying ordinary shares are restricted securities under Rule 144. None of these restricted securities will be eligible for sale under Rule 144 prior to 6 months following the filing of certain information with the SEC (Form 10 information) after the consummation of CFAC’s initial business combination. Furthermore, all of the initial shareholders' shares have been placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, until 6 months after the consummation of a business combination.

Additionally, immediately prior to CFAC’s initial public offering, CFAC sold an aggregate of 1,944,444 warrants at a price of $0.90 per warrant ($1.75 million in the aggregate) in a private placement. The warrants sold in the private placement will be identical to the warrants underlying the units being offered at CFAC's initial public offering except the holders of the warrants are not to be sold or transferred until after CFAC business combination.

In connection with CFAC’s initial public offering, CFAC sold at $100 a unit purchase option to the representative of the underwriters to purchase up to a total of 225,000 units at an exercise price of $10.00 per unit, each unit consisting of one share and one warrant. The securities underlying the representatives unit purchase option and underlying securities have registration rights and may be sold according to Rule 144.

Therefore, there are an aggregate of 7,489,756 shares that may be issued in the future upon exercise of outstanding warrants and unit purchase options.

Rule 144. Rule 144 is unavailable for the resale of restricted securities initially issued by a blank-check or shell company, both before and after an initial business combination, despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144. Accordingly, such restricted securities can be resold only through a registered offering or pursuant to another exemption from registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person who beneficially owns restricted securities of a company which:

 
·
has ceased to qualify as a blank-check or shell company;
     
 
·
is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
     
 
·
has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d), as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the company was required to file such reports and materials); and
 
·
has filed certain information with the SEC (Form 10 information) reflecting that it is no longer a blank-check or shell company may, after one year has elapsed from the filing of the Form 10 information, within any three-month period resell a number of such restricted securities that does not, with respect to the ordinary shares, exceed the greater of either of the following:

·   1% of the total number of ordinary shares then outstanding; or
·   the average weekly trading volume of the ordinary shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales under Rule 144 are also limited based on the availability of current public information about CFAC, and, in the case of sales by affiliates, by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements.

DESCRIPTION OF CFAC’S SECURITIES

CFAC is a Cayman Islands company and affairs are governed by its memorandum and articles of association and the Companies Law and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The following are summaries of all of the material provisions of CFAC’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Companies Law insofar as they relate to the material terms of CFAC’s ordinary shares, as well as CFAC’s units, ordinary shares and warrants themselves.

CFAC’s memorandum and articles of association currently authorizes share capital consists of 50,000,000 ordinary shares, $0.001 par value, and 1,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred share, $0.001 par value. As at June 30, 2009, 5,320,312 ordinary shares were outstanding. No preferred shares were outstanding as of that date. As of the proxy date, there are 44,679,688 authorized but unissued ordinary shares available for issuance (after appropriate reservation for the issuance of shares upon full exercise of CFAC’s outstanding warrants, including the private placement warrants) and all of the 1 million preferred shares available for issuance. We have no other commitments after CFAC’s initial public offering to issue any additional securities. CFAC may issue a substantial number of additional ordinary shares or preferred share, or a combination of both, including through redeemable debt securities, to complete a business combination.

The following description summarizes the material terms of CFAC’s shares. Because it is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you. For a complete description you should refer to CFAC’s memorandum and articles of association, which are included as an exhibit to this proxy statement, and to the applicable provisions of Cayman Islands law.

Units

Each unit consists of one ordinary share and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of ordinary shares at a price of $5.00 per ordinary share, subject to adjustment. Holders of the warrants must pay the exercise price in full upon exercise of the warrants. Holders will not be entitled to receive a net cash settlement upon exercise of the warrants. The ordinary shares and warrants comprising the units began to trade separately on July 22, 2008.

Ordinary Shares

As of the date of this proxy statement, there were 5,320,312 ordinary shares outstanding held by nine record holders. Except for such voting rights that may be given to one or more series of preferred shares issued by the board of directors pursuant to the power granted by CFAC’s articles of association or required by law, holders of ordinary shares will have exclusive voting rights for the election of CFAC’s directors and all other matters requiring shareholder action. Holders of ordinary shares will be entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by shareholders and also will be entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by CFAC’s board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefore. After a business combination is concluded, if ever, and upon CFAC’s dissolution, CFAC’s public shareholders will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets remaining available for distribution to shareholders after payment of all liabilities and provision for the liquidation of any shares of preferred shares at the time outstanding. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

In connection with the vote required for the extended period or CFAC’s initial business combination, all of CFAC’s initial shareholders have agreed to vote their ordinary shares held immediately before CFAC’s initial public offering in accordance with the majority of the ordinary shares voted by the public shareholders and waive their redemption rights. Furthermore, these shareholders have agreed that they will vote any ordinary shares acquired by them in or after this offering in favor of the extended period or a proposed business combination. As a result, if any of these parties acquire shares in the future, they must vote in favor of the extended period or proposed business combination with respect to those shares, and will therefore waive the right to exercise the redemption rights granted to public shareholders. In connection with the vote required for the extended period or CFAC’s initial business combination, a majority of CFAC’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares (whether or not held by public shareholders) will constitute a quorum. If any matters are voted on by CFAC’s shareholders at the special or annual meeting, CFAC’s existing shareholders may vote all their shares, whenever acquired, as they see fit.

CFAC will proceed with the business combination only if a majority of the ordinary shares voted by public shareholders (including CFAC’s existing shareholders with respect to shares purchased in this offering or otherwise acquired in the public markets by them) are voted in favor of the business combination, a majority of CFAC’s outstanding ordinary shares approve an amendment to CFAC’s memorandum and articles of association to allow CFAC’s perpetual existence, and public shareholders owning less than 35.0% of the shares sold in this offering vote against the extended period and the business combination and exercise their redemption rights on a cumulative basis, taking into consideration shareholders redeeming their shares in connection with the proposal that may be presented to CFAC’s shareholders in connection with the extended period. Voting against the business combination alone will not result in redemption of a shareholder’s shares for a pro rata share of the trust account. A shareholder must have also exercised the redemption rights for the redemption to be effective.

CFAC’s shareholders have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that public shareholders have the right to have their ordinary shares redeemed for cash equal to their pro rata share of the trust account, plus any interest, if they vote (i) against the extended period, and it is approved, or (ii) against the business combination and the business combination is approved and completed. Public shareholders who cause us to redeem their ordinary shares for their pro rata share of the trust account will retain the right to exercise any warrants they own if they previously purchased units or warrants.

CFAC’s initial shareholders have agreed, subject to certain exceptions described below, not to sell or otherwise transfer any of their ordinary shares until six months from the date of the consummation of a business combination. However, CFAC’s initial shareholders are permitted to transfer their ordinary shares to CFAC’s officers and CFAC’s directors, and other persons or entities associated with such persons, but the transferees receiving such securities will be subject to the same agreement as CFAC’s initial shareholders.

The payment of dividends, if ever, on CFAC’s ordinary shares will be subject to the prior payment of dividends on any outstanding preferred shares, of which there is currently none.

Preferred Shares

CFAC’s memorandum and articles of association provides that preferred shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. CFAC’s board of directors will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. CFAC’s board of directors will be able to, without shareholder approval, issue preferred shares with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of CFAC’s ordinary shares and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of CFAC’s board of directors to issue preferred shares without shareholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. This is because the terms of the preferred shares would be designed to make it prohibitively expensive for any unwanted third party to make a bid for shares of CFAC. CFAC has no preferred shares outstanding at the date hereof. Although CFAC does not currently intend to issue any preferred shares, CFAC cannot assure you that CFAC will not do so in the future. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CFAC’s articles of association prohibits us from issuing preferred shares prior to CFAC’s initial business combination, except in connection with the consummation of CFAC’s initial business combination that has been approved by a majority of the votes cast by CFAC’s public shareholders.

Warrants

Public Shareholders’ Warrants

Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one ordinary share at a price of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of:
 
 
·
the consummation of a business combination; or
 
 
·
May 15, 2009,

provided in each case that there is an effective registration statement covering the ordinary shares underlying the warrants in effect.

The warrants will expire on May 15, 2012 at 5:00 p.m., New York time. Once the warrants become exercisable, CFAC may call the warrants for redemption:
 
 
·
in whole but not in part,
 
 
·
at a price of $0.01 per warrant,
 
 
·
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder,
 
 
·
if, and only if, an effective registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current and available throughout the 30-day redemption period, and
 
 
·
if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders.
 
CFAC has established these redemption criteria to provide warrant holders with a significant premium to the initial warrant exercise price as well as a sufficient degree of liquidity to cushion the market reaction, if any, to CFAC’s redemption call. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and CFAC issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder shall be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, there can be no assurance that the price of the ordinary shares will exceed the redemption trigger price or the warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

The warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement and any amendments thereto, which were filed as exhibits to CFAC’s initial public offering registration statement for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the warrants.

The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, or CFAC’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable on exercise of the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below the warrant exercise price.

 
142

 

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of ordinary shares, including voting rights, until they exercise their warrants and receive ordinary shares. After the issuance of ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

No warrants will be exercisable unless at the time of exercise CFAC has a registration statement under the Securities Act in effect covering the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants and a current proxy statement relating to those ordinary shares. Under the warrant agreement, CFAC has agreed that prior to the commencement of the exercise period, CFAC will file a registration statement with the SEC for the registration of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, use CFAC’s best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective on or prior to the commencement of the exercise period and to maintain a current proxy statement relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants until the warrants expire or are redeemed. However, CFAC cannot assure you that CFAC will be able to be able to keep the proxy statement included in such registration statement current. The warrants may be deprived of any value and the market for the warrants may be limited if there is no registration statement in effect covering the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants or if the proxy statement relating to the ordinary shares issuable on the exercise of the warrants is not current. In the event that a registration is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of such warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such warrant and in no event (whether in the case of a registration statement not being effective or otherwise) will CFAC be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise. Consequently, the warrants may expire unexercised and unredeemed.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If a holder exercises warrants and would be entitled to receive a fractional interest of a share, CFAC will round up the number of ordinary shares to be issued to the warrant holder to the nearest whole number of shares.

Private Placement Warrants

The private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are substantially similar to the warrants included in the units being sold in CFAC’s initial public offering, except that these warrants (including the ordinary shares to be issued after exercise of these warrants) (i) are not transferable or salable by CFAC’s private placement investors, including CCM, or their permitted transferees until after CFAC consummates a business combination, and (ii) are non-redeemable so long as CFAC’s private placement investors or their permitted transferees hold such warrants. The purchasers of the private placement warrants do not have any right to rescind the agreement to purchase the warrants, nor are there any conditions on their obligations to purchase the warrants, nor would they be entitled to a refund for the purchase price of the warrants. The investors owning the private placement warrants are permitted to transfer private placement warrants (including the ordinary shares to be issued upon exercise of the private placement warrants) in certain limited circumstances prior to a business combination, such as to CFAC’s pre-IPO shareholders, and other persons or entities associated with such existing shareholders, but the transferees receiving such private placement warrants are subject to the same sale restrictions imposed on CFAC’s private placement investors. The proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be part of the funds distributed to CFAC’s public shareholders in the event CFAC is unable to complete a business combination. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement after the consummation of a business combination, CFAC has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC for the registration of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants, use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective on or prior to the commencement of the exercise period and to maintain a current proxy statement relating to the ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants until these warrants expire. In the event that a registration is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of such warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such warrant and in no event (whether in the case of a registration statement not being effective or otherwise) will CFAC be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise. Consequently, the warrants may expire unexercised and unredeemed.

 
143

 

Purchase Option

Concurrently with CFAC’s initial public offering, it sold to its underwriters an option to purchase up to a total of 225,000 units, exercisable at $10 per unit.

Dividends

CFAC has not paid any dividends on CFAC’s ordinary shares to date and it does not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the consummation of a business combination. After CFAC completes a business combination, the payment of dividends will depend on CFAC’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. The payment of dividends after a business combination will be within the discretion of CFAC’s then-board of directors. CFAC’s board of directors currently intends to retain any earnings for use in CFAC’s business operations and, accordingly, it does not anticipate the board declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Differences in Corporate Law

Cayman Islands companies are governed by the Companies Law. The Companies Law is modeled on English Law but does not follow recent English Law or recent English statutory enactments, and differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of some significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Law applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.
 
The Companies Law is modeled after that of England and Wales but does not follow recent statutory enactments in England. In addition, the Companies Law differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Law applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements. Previously Cayman Islands law did not provide for mergers as that expression is understood under United States corporate law. However, the Companies (Amendment) Law, 2009 which came into force on 11 May 2009 introduced a new mechanism for mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies (and between Cayman Islands companies and foreign companies if the merged company or consolidated company will continue to be a Cayman Islands company). Merger means the merging of two or more constituent companies into a sole remaining constituent company or surviving company and the vesting of the assets and liabilities of the constituent companies in the surviving company. Consolidation means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a new consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of the constituent companies in the consolidated company. The directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation (the “Plan”). The Plan must contain certain prescribed information including the basis of converting the shares in each constituent company into shares of the consolidated company or surviving company and the rights attached thereto; any proposed amendments to the memorandum and articles of the surviving company in a merger or the proposed new memorandum and articles of the consolidated company in a consolidation and details of all secured creditors. The Plan must be approved by the shareholders of each constituent company by either:

 
144

 
 
(a)
a majority in number representing 75% in value of the shareholders voting together as one class; or

(b)
a special resolution of the shareholders voting together as one class if the shares to be issued to each shareholder in the consolidated company or in the surviving company are to have the same rights and economic value as the shares held in the constituent company.

Shareholders do not need to approve a merger between a Cayman parent company and a Cayman subsidiary. For this purpose a subsidiary is a company of which at least 90% of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent company.

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

The Plan must be filed with the Registrar of Companies together with supporting documents including a  declaration (i) of solvency (debts as they fall due), (ii) that the merger or consolidation is bona fide and not intended to defraud unsecured creditors of the constituent companies, (iii) of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company, (iv) that no proceedings are outstanding and that no order has been made or resolution passed to wind up the constituent company or to appoint a receiver, trustee or administrator in any jurisdiction (v) that no scheme, order, compromise or arrangement has been made in any jurisdiction whereby the rights of creditors have been suspended or restricted and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to members and creditors of the constituent company and published in the Cayman Islands Gazette.

A certificate of merger or consolidation is issued by the Registrar of Companies which is prima facie evidence of compliance with all statutory requirements in respect of the merger or consolidation.

The effective date of a merger or consolidation is the date the Plan is registered by the Registrar of Companies although the Plan may provide for an effective date up to 90 days after the date of registration.

A dissentient shareholder of a Cayman constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares upon dissenting to a merger or consolidation unless (i) an open market on a recognized stock exchange or interdealer quotation system exists for the shares at the end of the dissent period (see below) and (ii) the merger or consolidation consideration consists of shares of the surviving or consolidated company or depository receipts in respect thereof; shares or depository receipts of any other company which are listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on a recognized interdealer quotation system or held of record by more than 2000 holders on the effective date of the merger or consolidation; cash in lieu of fractional shares or depository receipts. The exercise of appraisal rights will preclude the exercise of any other rights save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

The following procedure will otherwise apply:

 
1.
The dissentient shareholder must give written notice of objection (“notice of objection”) to the constituent company before the vote to approve the merger or consolidation.

 
145

 

 
2.
Within 20 days of the vote approving the merger or consolidation the constituent company must give written notice of the approval (“approval notice”) to all dissentient shareholders who served a notice of objection.

 
3.
Within 20 days (“dissent period”) of the approval notice a dissentient shareholder must give a written notice of dissent (“notice of dissent”) to the constituent company demanding payment of the fair value of his shares.

 
4.
Within 7 days of the expiry of the dissent period or within 7 days of the date on which the plan of merger or consolidation is filed with the Registrar of Companies (whichever is later) the constituent company, surviving company or consolidated company must make a written offer (“fair value offer”) to each dissentient shareholder to purchase their shares at a price determined by the company to be their fair value.

 
5.
If the company and the dissentient shareholders fail to agree on the price within 30 days of the fair value offer (“negotiation period”) then within 20 days of the expiry of the negotiation period the company must apply to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands to determine the fair value of the shares held by all dissentient shareholders who have served a notice of dissent and who have not agreed the fair value with the company.

All rights, benefits, immunities, privileges and property (including business and goodwill) of each of the constituent companies will vest in the surviving or consolidated company which will be liable for all debts, contracts, obligations, mortgages, charges, security interests and liabilities of each constituent company. Existing claims, proceedings, judgments, orders or rulings applicable to each constituent company will automatically apply to the surviving company or the consolidated company.
 
In addition there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, provided that the arrangement is approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made, and who must in addition represent three-fourths in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:
 
 
Ÿ
the statutory provisions as to the required vote have been met;
 
 
Ÿ
the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;
 
 
Ÿ
the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and
 
 
Ÿ
the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Law.
 
When a take-over offer is made and accepted by holders of 90.0% of the shares within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith, collusion or breach of the Companies Law.

 
146

 
 
If an arrangement and reconstruction or take-over offer is approved or accepted, the dissenting shareholder(s) are unlikely to have any rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of United States corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.
 
Shareholders Suits.    We are not aware of any reported class action or derivative action having been brought in a Cayman Islands court. In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff and a derivative action may not normally be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:
 
 
Ÿ
a company is acting or proposing to act illegally or ultra vires;
 
 
Ÿ
the act complained of, although not ultra vires, could be effected only if authorized by more than a simple majority vote which has not been obtained; and
 
 
Ÿ
those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

Shareholders Suits. CFAC’s Cayman Islands counsel is not aware of any reported class action having been brought in a Cayman Islands court. Derivative actions have been brought under Cayman Islands law but were unsuccessful for technical reasons. In principle, CFAC will normally be the proper plaintiff and a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority and be applied by a court in the Cayman Islands, exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:
 
 
·
a company is acting or proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of its authority;
 
 
·
the act complained of, although not beyond the scope of the authority, could be effected if duly authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained;
 
 
·
the individual rights of the plaintiff shareholder have been infringed or are about to be infringed; or
 
 
·
those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”
 
Enforcement of Civil Liabilities. The Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides significantly less protection to investors. Additionally, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

CFAC’s Cayman Islands counsel has advised us that a final and conclusive judgment in the federal or state courts of the United States under which a sum of money is payable, other than a sum payable in respect of taxes, fines, penalties or similar charges, may be subject to enforcement proceedings as a debt in the courts of the Cayman Islands under the common law doctrine of obligation provided that (a) such federal or state courts of the United Sates had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment; (b) such federal or state courts of the United States did not contravene the rules of natural justice of the Cayman Islands; (c) such judgment was not obtained by fraud; (d) the enforcement of the judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of the Cayman Islands; (e) no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of the Cayman Islands; and (f) there is due compliance with the correct procedures under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

Memorandum and Articles of Association

CFAC’s memorandum and articles of association filed under the laws of the Cayman Islands contain provisions designed to provide certain rights and protections to CFAC’s shareholders prior to the consummation of a business combination, including:

 
147

 
 
 
·
a requirement that all proposed business combinations be presented to shareholders for approval regardless of whether or not the Cayman Islands requires such a vote;
 
 
·
a prohibition against completing a business combination if 35% or more of CFAC’s shareholders exercise their redemption rights in lieu of approving a business combination;
 
 
·
the right of shareholders voting against a business combination (up to approximately 35.0%) to surrender their shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account in lieu of participating in a proposed business combination;
 
 
·
a requirement that CFAC’s management take all actions necessary to dissolve CFAC and liquidate CFAC’s trust account in the event CFAC do not consummate a business combination by 36 months (assuming the period in which it needs to consummate a business combination has been extended, as provided in articles of association) after the date of this proxy statement;
 
 
·
limitation on shareholders’ rights to receive a portion of the trust account so that they may only receive a portion of the trust account upon winding up and dissolution of CFAC or upon the exercise of their redemption rights; and
 
 
·
the establishment of related procedures regarding the standing and election of such directors.
 
CFAC’s articles of association, prohibit the amendment or modification of any of the foregoing provisions prior to the consummation of a business combination. While these rights and protections have been established for the purchasers of units sold in CFAC’s initial public offering, it is nevertheless possible that the prohibition against amending or modifying these rights and protections at any time prior to the consummation of the business combination could be challenged as unenforceable under Cayman Islands law, although, pursuant to the underwriting agreement CFAC is prohibited from amending or modifying these rights and protections at any time prior to the consummation of the business combination. CFAC has not sought an unqualified opinion regarding the enforceability of the prohibition on amendment or modification of such provisions because CFAC views these provisions as fundamental and contractual terms of this offering. CFAC believes these provisions to be obligations of CFAC to its shareholders and that investors will make an investment in CFAC relying, at least in part, on the enforceability of the rights and obligations set forth in these provisions including, without limitation, the prohibition on any amendment or modification of such provisions.

Anti-Money Laundering — Cayman Islands

In order to comply with legislation or regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering, CFAC is required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering procedures, and may require subscribers to provide evidence to verify their identity. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions, CFAC may also delegate the maintenance of its anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information) to a suitable person.

CFAC reserves the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of a subscriber. In the event of delay or failure on the part of the subscriber in producing any information required for verification purposes, CFAC may refuse to accept the application, in which case any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which they were originally debited.

 
148

 

CFAC also reserves the right to refuse to make any redemption payment to a shareholder if its directors or officers suspect or are advised that the payment of redemption proceeds to such shareholder might result in a breach of applicable anti-money laundering or other laws or regulations by any person in any relevant jurisdiction, or if such refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure CFAC’s compliance with any such laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

 CFAC has retained Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as its transfer agent and warrant agent for CFAC’s securities.

Special Meeting of Shareholders

CFAC’s articles of association provide that special meetings of its shareholders may be called only by a majority vote of its board of directors, by CFAC’s chief executive officer or by CFAC’s chairman.

Advance Notice Requirements for Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations

CFAC’s articles of association provide that shareholders seeking to bring business before CFAC’s annual meeting of shareholders, other than to nominate candidates for election as directors at CFAC’s annual meeting of shareholders must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice will need to be delivered to CFAC’s principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders. CFAC’s articles of association also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a shareholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude CFAC’s shareholders from bringing matters before CFAC’s annual meeting of shareholders.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

CFAC’s authorized but unissued ordinary shares and preferred shares are available for future issuances without shareholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved ordinary shares and preferred shares could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. CFAC’s articles of association provide for indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own fraud or dishonesty.

CFAC has entered into or will enter into agreements with its directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided in CFAC’s articles of association. CFAC believes that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract qualified directors. CFAC’s memorandum and articles of association also will permit it to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Cayman Islands law would permit indemnification. CFAC intends to purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures its directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures it against CFAC’s obligations to indemnify CFAC’s directors.

 
149

 

CFAC’s articles of association also will permit it to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions. CFAC will purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures its directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against CFAC’s obligations to indemnify the directors and officers.

These provisions may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against CFAC’s directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit it and its shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent CFAC pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. CFAC believes that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to CFAC’s directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, it has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Quotation

CFAC’s units are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “CFQUF” and after the ordinary shares and warrants began separate trading on July 22, 2008, its ordinary shares and warrants have also been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbols "CFQCF" and "CFQWF", respectively. CFAC intends to apply to have its securities listed on the Nasdaq Global Market after the acquisition, although there can be no assurance that CFAC’s proposed listing will be approved by Nasdaq.

CHINA FUNDAMENTAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION
(A CORPORATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
      
Note 1 – Organization and Business Operations

China Fundamental Acquisition Corporation (“CFAC”) was incorporated in Cayman Islands on December 12, 2007 for the purpose of effecting a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, reorganization or other similar business combination or contractual arrangements with one or more operating businesses. All activity from December 12, 2007 through June 30, 2009 relates to CFAC’s formation and capital raising activities. CFAC has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

CFAC is considered to be a development stage company and as such the financial statements presented herein are presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7.

The registration statement for CFAC’s initial public offering (“Offering”) was declared effective on May 15, 2008. CFAC consummated the Offering on May 21, 2008 and the over-allotment on May 28, 2008 and received net proceeds of approximately $32.8 million, which includes $1.75 million from the private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) described in Note 5. CFAC’s management intends to apply substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering toward consummating a Business Combination. The initial Target Business must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of such acquisition. However, there is no assurance that CFAC will be able to successfully affect a Business Combination.

An amount of approximately $33.9 million (or approximately $7.97 per unit) of the net proceeds of the Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was deposited in a Trust Account to be invested in permitted United States government securities and money market hinds. There may be released to CFAC from the Trust Account (i) interest income earned on the Trust Account balance to pay any tax obligations of CFAC, and (ii) up to an aggregate amount of $850,000 in interest earned on the Trust Account to hind expenses related to investigation and selecting a Target Business and CFAC’s other working capital requirements. As of June 30, 2009, CFAC has drawn $482,361 from the trust account for operating expenses.

The placing of hinds in the Trust Account may not protect those hinds from third party claims against CFAC. Although CFAC will seek to have all vendors and service providers (which would include any third parties engaged to assist in any way in connection with a search for a target business) and prospective target businesses execute agreements with CFAC waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements, nor is there any guarantee that, even if such entities execute such agreements. They will not seek recourse against the Trust Account or that a court would not conclude that such agreements are not legally enforceable. CFAC’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer have agreed to be liable tinder certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by CFAC for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to CFAC. However, there can be no assurance that they will be able to satisfy those obligations. Furthermore, they will not have any personal liability as to any claimed amounts owed to a third party who executed a waiver (including a prospective target business). Additionally, in the case of a prospective target business that did not execute a waiver, such liability will only be in an amount necessary to ensure that public shareholders receive no less than approximately $8.00 per share upon liquidation. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Additionally as referred above, up to an aggregate of $850,000 of interest earned on the Trust Account balance may be released to CFAC to fund working capital requirements and additional amounts may be released to CFAC as necessary to satisfy tax obligations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    
Note 1 – Organization and Business Operations – (continued)

CFAC, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, is required to submit such transaction for shareholders approval. Shareholders that vote against such proposed Business Combination and exercise their redemption rights are, under certain conditions described below, entitled to redeem their share into a pro-rata distribution from the Trust Account (the “Redemption Right”). The actual per share redemption price will be equal to the amount in the Trust Account (inclusive of any interest thereon), calculated as of two business days prior to the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of shares sold in the Offering, or approximately $7.97 per share based on the value of the Trust Account as of December 31, 2008. As a result of the Redemption Right, $11,867,884 (representing 34.99% of cash held in trust as of closing date of the Offering and over-allotment) has been classified as ordinary shares subject to possible redemption on the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2008. CFAC’s shareholders prior to the Offering (“Existing Shareholders”) have agreed to vote their 1,064,062 founding ordinary shares (after repurchase and cancellation of 14,063 shares disclosed in Note 5) in accordance with the manner in which the majority of the ordinary shares offered in the Offering are voted by CFAC’s public shareholders (“Public Shareholders”) with respect to a Business Combination.

In the event that a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares voted by the Public Shareholders vote for the approval of a Business Combination and holders owning 35% or more of the outstanding ordinary shares do not vote against the Business Combination and do not exercise (heir Redemption Rights, the Business Combination may then be consummated.

With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated, any Public Shareholder who voted against the Business Combination may contemporaneously with or prior to such vote exercise their Redemption Right and their ordinary shares would be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but un-issued shares. The per share redemption price will equal the amount in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of ordinary shares held by Public Shareholders at the consummation of the offering. Accordingly, Public Shareholders holding less than 35% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all Public Shareholders may seek redemption of their shares in the event of a Business Combination.

By a special resolution passed on May 13, 2008, CFAC’s Memorandum and Articles of Association has been amended and restated that CFAC will continue in existence only until 24 months or 36 months (if possible extension is approved) from the completion of the Offering. If CFAC has not completed a Business Combination by such date, its corporate existence will be ceased and it will be dissolved and liquidated for the purposes of winding up its affairs. In the event of liquidation, it is likely 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 share in the Offering. In connection with any proposed Business Combination submitted for shareholder approval, CFAC will also submit to shareholders a proposal to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to provide for CFAC’s perpetual existence, thereby removing this limitation on CFAC’s corporate life.

Note 2 – Offering and Private Placement of Warrants

In the Offering, effective May 15, 2008 (closed on May 21, 2008), CFAC sold to the public 3,750,000 units (the “Units” or a “Unit”) at a price of $8.00 per Unit. On May 28, 2008, CFAC consummated the closing of the sale of 506,250 Units which were sold subject to the over-allotment (“Over-allotment”) option. Net proceeds from the Offering and the Over-allotment were a total of approximately $31.0 million, which was net of $3.0 million in underwriting fees and other offering expenses. Each unit consists of one share of CFAC’s ordinary shares and one warrant (a “Warrant”).

Simultaneously with the Closing of the Offering, CFAC sold to the Private Placement Investors 1,944,444 Private Placement Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of  $l,750,000. See discussion in Note 5.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, CFAC’s functional currency, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Included in cash and cash equivalents are deposits with financial institutions with maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
CFAC maintains cash in a bank deposit account in Hong Kong which is covered by Deposit Protection Scheme protected by Hong Kong SAR Government’s exchange fund. The protection limit of cash balances in the bank deposit account will be unlimited balances until the end of year 2010.
 
Fair Value Measurements
 
FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (“SFAS No. 157”) provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Implementation of SFAS Statement No. 157 did not have an impact on CFAC’s financial results.
 
The following table presents certain of CFAC’s assets that are measured at fair value as of June 30, 2009. In general, fair values determined by Level I inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets and the fair values described below were determined through market, observable and corroborated sources.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
 
Income Taxes
 
CFAC follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, if any, are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date, No income tax benefit has been made on the net loss of $200,968 as Cayman Islands exempted-companies are currently not subject to income taxes within Cayman Islands.
 
Earnings Per Share
 
CFAC computes earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.98 (“SAB 98”). SFAS No. 128 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic BPS is measured as the income or loss available to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic BPS but presents the dilutive effect oil a per share basis of potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.
 
Income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to ordinary stockholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share are the same for all periods presented because all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive.
 
At June 30, 2009, potentially dilutive securities consisted of outstanding warrants and options to acquire an aggregate of 7,264,756 ordinary shares, as follows:
 
Existing shareholders warrants
    1,064,062  
Private placement warrants
    1,944,444  
Public warrants
    4,256,250  
Total
    7,264,756  
  
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management lo make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Accretion of trust account relating to ordinary share subject to possible redemption
 
CFAC will record accretion of the income earned in the Trust Account relating to the ordinary share subject to possible redemption based on the excess of the earnings for the period over the amount which is available to be used for working capital and taxes. Since 34.99% of the shares issued in the Offering are subject to possible redemption, the portion of the excess earnings related to those shares will be reflected on the balance sheet as part of “Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption” and is deducted from “additional paid-in capital”. The portion of the excess earnings will also be presented as a deduction from net income on the statement of operations to approximately reflect the amount net income which would remain available to the ordinary shareholders who did not elect to convert their shares to cash. As of June 30, 2009, no accretion of income subject to possible redemption has been recorded.

New Accounting Pronouncements
  
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement “FASB” issued Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 168”).  SFAS No. 168 will become the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), and related accounting literature.  SFAS No. 168 reorganizes the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure.  Also included is relevant Securities and Exchange Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections.  SFAS No. 168 will be effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009.  This statement will have an impact on CFAC’s financial statements since all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be references in accordance with SFAS No. 168.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”). This Statement establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  The adoption of SFAS No. 165 is not expected to have a material impact on CFAC’s financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the purchase method be used for all business combinations, but also provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value and the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, In the event that CFAC completes acquisitions subsequent to its adoption of SFAS 141 (R), tile application of its provisions will likely have a material impact on CFAC’s results of operations, although CFAC is not currently able to estimate that impact.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent (previously referred to as minority interests), and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identified and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners as components of equity. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements are applied prospectively. CFAC does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
 
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Note 4 – Public Offering
 
On May 21, 2008, CFAC sold to the public 3,750,000 Units at a price of $8.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of CFAC’s ordinary shares and one Redeemable Ordinary Share Purchase Warrant (“Warrants”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase from CFAC one share of ordinary shares at an exercise price of $5.00 commencing the later of the completion of a Business Combination and one year from the effective date of the Offering and expiring four years from the effective date of the Offering. CFAC may redeem the Warrants, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days’ notice while the Warrants are exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the ordinary shares is at least $10.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. In accordance with the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants to be sold and issued in the Offering, CFAC is only required to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the Warrants. CFAC will not be obligated to deliver securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities, if a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise. CFAC paid the underwriters of the Offering underwriting discounts and commissions of $1,050,000 of the gross Offering proceeds and $141,749 of the gross proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment (discussed below) which closed on May 28, 2008. CFAC and the underwriters have agreed that payment of the balance of the underwriting discounts and commissions of $1,050,000 from the Offering and $141,749 from the over-allotment (aggregating $1,191,749) will not be payable unless and until CFAC completes a Business Combination and the underwriters have waived their right to receive such payment upon CFAC’s liquidation if it is unable to complete a Business Combination. The deferred underwriting fee has been accrued and charged to additional paid-in capital.
 
On May 28, 2008, CFAC consummated the sale of 506,250 Units which were sold subject to the over-allotment option. Each Unit sold in the Offering and pursuant to the over-allotment option consisted of one ordinary share, $.001 par value per share, and one Wan-ant, each to purchase one ordinary share of CFAC. The 4,256,250 Units sold in the Offering, including the 506,250 Units sold subject to the over-allotment option, were sold at an Offering price of $8.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $34,050,000 and net proceeds of$32,241,954.
 
CFAC issued a unit purchase option, for $100, to the underwriters in the Offering, to purchase up to a total of 225,000 units at an exercise price $10.00 per unit. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to the units offered in the Offering. CFAC accounted for the fair value of the unit purchase option, inclusive of the $100, as an expense of the Offering resulting in a charge directly to shareholders’ equity. CFAC estimated that the fair value of this unit purchase option was $883,544 ($3.93 per Unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the unit purchase option granted to the underwriters was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 59.58%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 4.16% and (3) expected life of 5 years. The unit purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis, at the holder’s option (except in the case of a forced cashless exercise upon CFAC’s redemption of the Warrants, as described above), such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the unit purchase option (the difference between the exercise prices of the unit purchase option and the underlying Warrants and the market price of the Units and underlying securities) to exercise the unit purchase option without the payment of any cash.
 
CFAC will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the unit purchase option or the Warrants underlying (he unit purchase option. The holders of the unit purchase option will not be entitled to exercise the unit purchase option or the Warrants underlying the unit purchase option unless a registration statement covering the securities underlying the unit purchase option is effective or an exemption from registration is available. If the holder is unable to exercise the unit purchase option or underlying Warrants, the unit purchase option or Warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless.

Note 5 – Commitments and Contingencies
 
CFAC presently utilizes office space provided by Olympic Spring Limited, a related party. CFAC has agreed to pay Olympic Spring Limited, a total of $7,500 per month for office space, administrative services and secretarial support for a period commencing on the effective date of the Offering and ending on the consummation of a Business Combination. Upon consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation, CFAC will cease paying these monthly fees. Included in general and administrative expenses is $45,000 in costs with respect to this agreement.
     
Pursuant to letter of agreements which the Existing Shareholders entered into with CFAC and the underwriters, the Existing Shareholders will waive their right to receive distributions with respect to their founding shares upon CFAC’s liquidation.
 
CFAC’s Private Placement Investors purchased a total of 1,944,444 Private Placement Warrants at $0.90 per Warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $ 1,750,000) privately from CFAC. These purchases took place simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering. All of the proceeds received from this purchase were placed in the Trust Account. The Private Placement Warrants purchased are identical to the Warrants underlying the Units offered in the Offering except that the Warrants may not be called for redemption and the Private Placement Warrants may be exercisable on a “cashless basis”, at the holder’s option, so long as such securities are held by such purchaser or his affiliates. Furthermore, the purchaser has agreed that the Private Placement Warrants will not be sold or transferred by them, except for estate planning purposes, until after CFAC has completed a Business Combination. CFAC believed the purchase price of $0.90 per Private Placement Warrant represented the fair value of such warrants on the date of purchase and, accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized in respect to the issuance of Private Placement Warrants at the date of the Offering. CFAC’s basis for concluding that the purchase price of the private placement warrants approximated fair value was based on the trading prices of warrants issued in offerings of similarly-situated public companies. CFAC reviewed the trading prices of nineteen structured blank check initial public offerings in which the issuer sold units similar to those being offered in the Offering. In each of those offerings, the units consisted of one share and one warrant at an offering price of $8.00 per unit, with an exercise price of $5.00 for the warrant. CFAC believed that those issuers are comparable to CFAC because they were structured blank check offerings seeking to complete a business combination, with the same offering structure, same percentage of equity held by management and placed in trust and approximately the same percentage of the unit purchase price held in the trust account, CFAC believed that the warrants sold in its offering (and therefore the private placement warrants) were comparable to the warrants sold in the initial public offerings of comparable issuers since they had the same exercise price, the units had the same offering price, the exercise price of the warrants as a percentage of the per unit amount in trust was approximately the same, the warrants were not exercisable at the time of issuance and the warrants will be worthless if the issuer does not complete a business combination. In addition, CFAC noted that the average trading prices and median trading prices of the warrants at the time of separation of the units in the nineteen comparable offerings were $0.94 and $0.67, respectively.
 
No Warrants issued in connection with the Offering can be net-cash settled. CFAC has no obligation to settle the warrants for cash in the absence of an effective registration statement or under any other circumstances.
 
The Existing Shareholders and the holders of the Private Placement Warrants (or underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights with respect to their ordinary shares and warrants or Private Placement Warrants (or underlying securities) pursuant to an agreement signed on the closing date of the Offering. The Existing Shareholders are entitled to demand that CFAC register their ordinary shares commencing six months after the consummation of a Business Combination. The holders of the Private Placement Warrants (or underlying securities) are entitled to demand that CFAC register these securities commencing upon the consummation of a Business Combination. In addition, tile Existing Shareholders and holder of the Private Placement Warrants  (or underlying securities) have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed after CFAC’s consummation of a Business Combination.

Note 6 – Ordinary and Preferred Shares
 
Ordinary shares issued and outstanding included an aggregate of 140,625 shares and warrants that were subject to repurchase and cancellation by the initial shareholders to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full so that the initial shareholders collectively would own 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares and warrants after the Offering. On May 28, 2008, Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, the underwriter, completed the exercise of its over-allotment option for a total of 506,250 units. The partial exercise of the over-allotment option generated proceeds of $3,908,250 net of the underwriters’ discounts and commissions, including deferred underwriters’ discounts and commissions of $141,749. Chardan Capital Markets, EEC waived such over-allotment option with respect to the remaining 56,250 units which such option entitled them to purchase. As a result, 14,063 ordinary shares and warrants were repurchased at nominal cost and cancelled.
 
As of June 30, 2009, 7,264,756 and 450,000 ordinary shares have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and underwriter’s unit purchase option. CFAC is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred shares with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.
 
The agreement with the underwriters and CFAC’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will prohibit CFAC, prior to a Business Combination, from issuing preferred stock which participates in the proceeds of the Trust Account or which votes as a class with CFAC’s ordinary shares on a Business Combination.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
China Fundamental Acquisition Corporation

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material aspects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the period from December 12, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007 and 2008, in conformity with in the United States generally accepted accounting principles.

CHINA FUNDAMENTAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION
(A CORPORATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    
Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations

China Fundamental Acquisition Corporation ( “CFAC”) was incorporated in Cayman Islands on December 12, 2007 for the purpose of effecting a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, reorganization or other similar business combination or contractual arrangements with one or more operating businesses. All activity from December 12, 2007 through December 31, 2008 relates to CFAC’s formation and capital raising activities. CFAC has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

CFAC is considered to be a development stage company and as such the financial statements presented herein are presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7.

The registration statement for CFAC's initial public offering ("Offering") was declared effective on May 15, 2008. CFAC consummated the Offering on May 21, 2008 and the over-allotment on May 28, 2008 and received net proceeds of approximately $32.8 million, which includes $1.75 million from the private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) described in Note 6. CFAC's management intends to apply substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering toward consummating a Business Combination. The initial Target Business must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account at the time of such acquisition. However, there is no assurance that CFAC will be able to successfully affect a Business Combination.

An amount of approximately $33.9 million (or approximately $7.97 per unit) of the net proceeds of the Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was deposited in a Trust Account to be invested in permitted United States government securities and money market funds. There may be released to CFAC from the Trust Account (i) interest income earned on the Trust Account balance to pay any tax obligations of CFAC, and (ii) up to an aggregate amount of $850,000 in interest earned on the Trust Account to fund expenses related to investigation and selecting a Target Business and t CFAC's other working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2008, CFAC has drawn $324,000 from the trust account for operating expenses.

The placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against CFAC Although CFAC will seek to have all vendors and service providers (which would include any third parties engaged to assist in any way in connection with a search for a target business) and prospective target businesses execute agreements with CFAC waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements, nor is there any guarantee that, even if such entities execute such agreements, they will not seek recourse against the Trust Account or that a court would not conclude that such agreements are not legally enforceable. CFAC’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer have agreed to be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by CFAC for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to CFAC However, there can be no assurance that they will be able to satisfy those obligations. Furthermore, they will not have any personal liability as to any claimed amounts owed to a third party who executed a waiver (including a prospective target business). Additionally, in the case of a prospective target business that did not execute a waiver, such liability will only be in an amount necessary to ensure that public shareholders receive no less than approximately $8.00 per share upon liquidation. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Additionally as referred above, up to an aggregate of $850,000 of interest earned on the Trust Account balance may be released to CFAC to fund working capital requirements and additional amounts may be released to CFAC as necessary to satisfy tax obligations.

Note 1 — Organization and Business Operations - (continued)

CFAC, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, is required to submit such transaction for shareholders' approval. Shareholders that vote against such proposed Business Combination and exercise their redemption rights are, under certain conditions described below, entitled to redeem their share into a pro-rata distribution from the Trust Account (the "Redemption Right"). The actual per share redemption price will be equal to the amount in the Trust Account (inclusive of any interest thereon), calculated as of two business days prior to the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of shares sold in the Offering, or approximately $7.97 per share based on the value of the Trust Account as of December 31, 2008. As a result of the Redemption Right, $11,867,884 (representing 34.99% of cash held in trust as of closing date of the Offering and over-allotment) has been classified as ordinary shares subject to possible redemption on the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2008. CFAC's shareholders prior to the Offering (“Existing Shareholders”) have agreed to vote their 1,064,062 founding ordinary shares (after repurchase and cancellation of 14,063 shares disclosed in Note 6) in accordance with the manner in which the majority of the ordinary shares offered in the Offering are voted by CFAC's public shareholders ("Public Shareholders") with respect to a Business Combination.

In the event that a majority of the outstanding ordinary shares voted by the Public Shareholders vote for the approval of a Business Combination and holders owning 35% or more of the outstanding ordinary shares do not vote against the Business Combination and do not exercise their Redemption Rights, the Business Combination may then be consummated.

With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated, any Public Shareholder who voted against the Business Combination may contemporaneously with or prior to such vote exercise their Redemption Right and their ordinary shares would be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but un-issued shares. The per share redemption price will equal the amount in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of ordinary shares held by Public Shareholders at the consummation of the offering. Accordingly, Public Shareholders holding less than 35% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all Public Shareholders may seek redemption of their shares in the event of a Business Combination.

By a special resolution passed on May 13, 2008, CFAC’s Memorandum and Articles of Association has been amended and restated that CFAC will continue in existence only until 24 months or 36 months (if possible extension is approved) from the completion of the Offering. If CFAC has not completed a Business Combination by such date, its corporate existence will be ceased and it will be dissolved and liquidated for the purposes of winding up its affairs. In the event of liquidation, it is likely 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 share in the Offering. In connection with any proposed Business Combination submitted for shareholder approval, CFAC will also submit to shareholders a proposal to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to provide for CFAC’s perpetual existence, thereby removing this limitation on CFAC’s corporate life.

Note 2 — Offering and Private Placement of Warrants

In the Offering, effective May 15, 2008 (closed on May 21, 2008), CFAC sold to the public 3,750,000 units (the "Units" or a "Unit") at a price of $8.00 per Unit. On May 28, 2008, CFAC consummated the closing of the sale of 506,250 Units which were sold subject to the over-allotment (“Over-allotment”) option. Net proceeds from the Offering and the Over-allotment for the total of approximately $31.0 million, which was net of $3.0 million in underwriting fees and other offering expenses. Each unit consists of one share of CFAC's ordinary shares and one warrant (a "Warrant").

Simultaneously with the Closing of the Offering, CFAC sold to the Private Placement Investors 1,944,444 Private Placement Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $1,750,000. See discussion in Note 6.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, CFAC’s functional currency, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Included in cash and cash equivalents are deposits with financial institutions with maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk

CFAC maintains cash in a bank deposit account in Hong Kong which is covered by Deposit Protection Scheme protected by Hong Kong SAR Government’s exchange fund. The protection limit of cash balances in the bank deposit account will be unlimited balances until the end of year 2010.

Fair Value Measurements

FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (“SFAS No. 157”) provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Implementation of SFAS Statement No. 157 did not have an impact on CFAC’s financial results.

The following table presents certain of CFAC’s assets that are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2008. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices in active markets and the fair values described below were determined through market, observable and corroborated sources.

         In accordance with the provisions of FSP No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, CFAC has elected to defer implementation of SFAS 157 as it relates to its non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until January 1, 2009 and is evaluating the impact, if any, this standard will have on its financial statements.

Income Taxes

         CFAC follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities, if any, are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. No income tax benefit has been made on the net income of $ 65,478 as Cayman Islands exempted-companies are currently not subject to income taxes within Cayman Islands.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)

Earnings Per Share

         CFAC computes earnings (loss) per share (“EPS’) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). SFAS No. 128 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

         Income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to ordinary stockholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per ordinary share are the same for all periods presented because all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive.

         At December 31, 2008, potentially dilutive securities consisted of outstanding warrants and options to acquire an aggregate of 7,264,756 ordinary shares, as follows:

Existing shareholders warrants
    1,064,062  
Private placement warrants
    1,944,444  
Public warrants
    4,256,250  
Total
    7,264,756  
     
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accretion of trust account relating to ordinary share subject to possible redemption

CFAC will record accretion of the income earned in the Trust Account relating to the ordinary share subject to possible redemption based on the excess of the earnings for the period over the amount which is available to be used for working capital and taxes. Since 34.99% of the shares issued in the Offering are subject to possible redemption, the portion of the excess earnings related to those shares will be reflected on the balance sheet as part of “Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption” and is deducted from “additional paid-in capital.” The portion of the excess earnings will also be presented as a deduction from net income on the statement of operations to approximately reflect the amount net income which would remain available to the ordinary shareholders who did not elect to convert their shares to cash.  As of December 31, 2008, no accretion of income subject to possible redemption has been recorded.

 New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) retains the fundamental requirements of the original pronouncement requiring that the purchase method be used for all business combinations, but also provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. In the event that CFAC completes acquisitions subsequent to its adoption of SFAS 141 (R), the application of its provisions will likely have a material impact on CFAC’s results of operations, although CFAC is not currently able to estimate that impact.

Note 4 — Public Offering
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 requires that ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent (previously referred to as minority interests), and the amount of consolidated net income, be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners as components of equity. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements are applied prospectively. CFAC does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

On May 21, 2008, CFAC sold to the public 3,750,000 Units at a price of $8.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of CFAC’s ordinary shares and one Redeemable Ordinary Share Purchase Warrant (“Warrants”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase from CFAC one share of ordinary shares at an exercise price of $5.00 commencing the later of the completion of a Business Combination and one year from the effective date of the Offering and expiring four years from the effective date of the Offering. CFAC may redeem the Warrants, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days’ notice while the Warrants are exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the ordinary shares is at least $10.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. In accordance with the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants to be sold and issued in the Offering, CFAC is only required to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the Warrants. CFAC will not be obligated to deliver securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities, if a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise.

CFAC paid the underwriters of the Offering underwriting discounts and commissions of $1,050,000 of the gross Offering proceeds and $141,749 of the gross proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment (discussed below) which closed on May 28, 2008. CFAC and the underwriters have agreed that payment of the balance of the underwriting discounts and commissions of $1,050,000 from the Offering and $141,749 from the over-allotment (aggregating $1,191,749) will not be payable unless and until CFAC completes a Business Combination and the underwriters have waived their right to receive such payment upon CFAC’s liquidation if it is unable to complete a Business Combination. The deferred underwriting fee has been accrued and charged to additional paid-in capital.

  On May 28, 2008, CFAC consummated the sale of 506,250 Units which were sold subject to the over-allotment option. Each Unit sold in the Offering and pursuant to the over-allotment option consisted of one ordinary share, $.001 par value per share, and one Warrant, each to purchase one ordinary share of CFAC. The 4,256,250 Units sold in the Offering, including the 506,250 Units sold subject to the over-allotment option, were sold at an Offering price of $8.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $34,050,000 and net proceeds of $32,241,954.

CFAC issued a unit purchase option, for $100, to the underwriters in the Offering, to purchase up to a total of 225,000 units at an exercise price $10.00 per unit. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to the units offered in the Offering. CFAC accounted for the fair value of the unit purchase option, inclusive of the $100, as an expense of the Offering resulting in a charge directly to shareholders’ equity. CFAC estimated that the fair value of this unit purchase option was $883,544 ($3.93 per Unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the unit purchase option granted to the underwriters was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 59.58%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 4.16% and (3) expected life of 5 years. The unit purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis, at the holder’s option (except in the case of a forced cashless exercise upon CFAC’s redemption of the Warrants, as described above), such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the unit purchase option (the difference between the exercise prices of the unit purchase option and the underlying Warrants and the market price of the Units and underlying securities) to exercise the unit purchase option without the payment of any cash.

Note 4 — Public Offering (……/Cont’d)

CFAC will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the unit purchase option or the Warrants underlying the unit purchase option. The holders of the unit purchase option will not be entitled to exercise the unit purchase option or the Warrants underlying the unit purchase option unless a registration statement covering the securities underlying the unit purchase option is effective or an exemption from registration is available. If the holder is unable to exercise the unit purchase option or underlying Warrants, the unit purchase option or Warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless.

Note 5 — Notes Payable to Shareholders

CFAC issued certain unsecured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $40,000 and $30,000 to two of its founders during the period from December 12, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2008. The notes were non-interest bearing, unsecured and were on demand. Due to the short-term nature of the notes, the fair value of the notes approximated their carrying amounts. As of December 31, 2008, all issued unsecured promissory notes were repaid.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

CFAC presently utilizes office space provided by Olympic Spring Limited, a related party. CFAC has agreed to pay Olympic Spring Limited, a total of $7,500 per month for office space, administrative services and secretarial support for a period commencing on the effective date of the Offering and ending on the consummation of a Business Combination. Upon consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation, CFAC will cease paying these monthly fees. Included in general and administrative expenses is $11,250 in costs with respect to this agreement.

Pursuant to letter of agreements which the Existing Shareholders entered into with CFAC and the underwriters, the Existing Shareholders will waive their right to receive distributions with respect to their founding shares upon CFAC’s liquidation.

CFAC’s Private Placement Investors purchased a total of 1,944,444 Private Placement Warrants at $0.90 per Warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $1,750,000) privately from CFAC. These purchases took place simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering. All of the proceeds received from this purchase were placed in the Trust Account. The Private Placement Warrants purchased are identical to the Warrants underlying the Units offered in the Offering except that the Warrants may not be called for redemption and the Private Placement Warrants may be exercisable on a “cashless basis,” at the holder’s option, so long as such securities are held by such purchaser or his affiliates. Furthermore, the purchaser has agreed that the Private Placement Warrants will not be sold or transferred by them, except for estate planning purposes, until after CFAC has completed a Business Combination.

CFAC believed the purchase price of $0.90 per Private Placement Warrant represented the fair value of such warrants on the date of purchase and, accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized in respect to the issuance of Private Placement Warrants at the date of the Offering. CFAC’s basis for concluding that the purchase price of the private placement warrants approximated fair value was based on the trading prices of warrants issued in offerings of similarly-situated public companies. CFAC reviewed the trading prices of nineteen structured blank check initial public offerings in which the issuer sold units similar to those being offered in the Offering. In each of those offerings, the units consisted of one share and one warrant at an offering price of $8.00 per unit, with an exercise price of $5.00 for the warrant. CFAC believed that those issuers are comparable to CFAC because they were structured blank check offerings seeking to complete a business combination, with the same offering structure, same percentage of equity held by management and placed in trust and approximately the same percentage of the unit purchase price held in the trust account.

CHINA FUNDAMENTAL ACQUISITION CORPORATION
(A CORPORATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     
Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies - (continued)

CFAC believed that the warrants sold in its offering (and therefore the private placement warrants) were comparable to the warrants sold in the initial public offerings of comparable issuers since they had the same exercise price, the units had the same offering price, the exercise price of the warrants as a percentage of the per unit amount in trust was approximately the same, the warrants were not exercisable at the time of issuance and the warrants will be worthless if the issuer does not complete a business combination. In addition, CFAC noted that the average trading prices and median trading prices of the warrants at the time of separation of the units in the nineteen comparable offerings were $0.94 and $0.67, respectively.

No Warrants issued in connection with the Offering can be net-cash settled. CFAC has no obligation to settle the warrants for cash in the absence of an effective registration statement or under any other circumstances.

The Existing Shareholders and the holders of the Private Placement Warrants (or underlying securities) are entitled to registration rights with respect to their ordinary shares and warrants or Private Placement Warrants (or underlying securities) pursuant to an agreement signed on the closing date of the Offering. The Existing Shareholders are entitled to demand that CFAC register their ordinary shares commencing six months after the consummation of a Business Combination. The holders of the Private Placement Warrants (or underlying securities) are entitled to demand that CFAC register these securities commencing upon the consummation of a Business Combination. In addition, the Existing Shareholders and holder of the Private Placement Warrants (or underlying securities) have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed after CFAC’s consummation of a Business Combination.

Note 7 — Ordinary and Preferred Shares

Ordinary shares issued and outstanding included an aggregate of 140,625 shares and warrants that were subject to repurchase and cancellation by the initial shareholders to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full so that the initial shareholders collectively would own 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares and warrants after the Offering. On May 28, 2008, Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, the underwriter, completed the exercise of its over-allotment option for a total of 506,250 units. The partial exercise of the over-allotment option generated proceeds of $3,908,250 net of the underwriters' discounts and commissions, including deferred underwriters' discounts and commissions of $141,749. Chardan Capital Markets, LLC waived such over-allotment option with respect to the remaining 56,250 units which such option entitled them to purchase. As a result, 14,063 ordinary shares and warrants were repurchased at nominal cost and cancelled.

As of December 31, 2008, 7,264,756 and 450,000 ordinary shares have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and underwriter’s unit purchase option, respectively.

CFAC is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred shares with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

The agreement with the underwriters and CFAC’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will prohibit CFAC, prior to a Business Combination, from issuing preferred stock which participates in the proceeds of the Trust Account or which votes as a class with CFAC’s ordinary shares on a Business Combination.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Authentic Genius Limited as of August 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Authentic Genius Limited (“AGL”) was incorporated in Hong Kong as a holding company on June 22, 2009.  AGL incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Beijing Xin Fu Industry Consulting Co., Ltd. (“BXFI”) in Beijing, People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), as a wholly foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”) on August 3, 2009.
 
On August 25, 2009, BXFI entered into contractual agreements with Beijing Wowjoint Machinery Co., Ltd. (“BWMC”) and its shareholders, as described below, by which BXFI is deemed the primary beneficiary of BWMC and BWMC being deemed a subsidiary of AGL under the requirements of the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2009 AND 2008
  
Note 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The basis of accounting differs from that used in the statutory accounts of the Company, which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles of PRC (“PRC GAAP”). The Company’s functional currency is the Chinese Renminbi (RMB); however the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated and presented in United States Dollars (USD). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make certain 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 period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful lives of plant and equipment, intangible assets, long-term prepaid expense, and accruals for taxes due.

Principals of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AGL, BXFI, BWMC and the Branch. All material inter-company accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

According to GAAP, a variable interest entity (VIE) is required to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss for the VIE or is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns. VIEs are those entities in which the Company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risks of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entities, and therefore the Company is the primary beneficiary of these entities. The results of subsidiaries or variable interest entities acquired during the year are included in the consolidated statements of operations from the effective date of acquisition.

The assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interest of a consolidated variable interest entity are accounted for as if the entities were consolidated based on voting interests and the usual accounting rules for which the VIE operates are applied as they would to a consolidated subsidiary as follows:
 
·
Carrying amounts of the VIE are consolidated into the financial statements of BXFI as the primary beneficiary (referred as “Primary Beneficiary” or “PB”)
 
·
Inter-company transactions and balances, such as revenues and costs, receivables and payables between or among the Primary Beneficiary and the VIE(s) are eliminated in their entirety
 
·
There is no direct ownership interest by the Primary Beneficiary in the VIE, equity of the VIE is eliminated with an offsetting credit to minority interest
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC. Balances at financial institutions or state-owned banks within the PRC are not covered by insurance. Non-performance by these institutions could expose the Company to losses for amounts in excess of insured balances. At August 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company's bank balances held in Chinese institutions of approximately $1.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively, were uninsured. The Company has not experienced, nor does it anticipate, non-performance by these institutions.

Accounts Receivable

The Company records accounts receivable net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, the customers’ historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. The amount of the provision, if any, is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations within the general and administrative expenses. Accounts are written off after appropriate collection efforts are conducted. The allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008 are $800,865 and $445,220, respectively.
 
Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the moving average method. Costs of finished goods are composed of direct materials, direct labor and an attributable portion of manufacturing overhead. An allowance is established when management determines that the carrying value of certain inventories may not be realizable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will record reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves are recorded based on estimates and reflected in cost of sales. There were no allowances deemed necessary by management as of August 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for major additions or improvements, which extend the useful lives of assets, are capitalized. Minor replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred. Disposals are removed at cost less accumulated depreciation, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current operations. In accordance with GAAP, the Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
 
Construction in Progress

Construction in progress consists of costs incurred for construction projects that have not yet been completed. These predominantly relate to the Company's expansion of its retail stores. Once these projects are completed, the costs will be transferred to the appropriate property, plant and equipment category.
 
Impairment of Long-lived Assets

In accordance with GAAP, the Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the assets estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it necessary to record any impairment charges during the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure or ASC 820 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.

 
F-33

 

AUTHENTIC GENIUS LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2009 AND 2008
    
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

   
Level 1:
Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
 
Level 2:
Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
 
 
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

Cash and cash equivalents include money market securities and commercial paper that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

In addition, the Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.
 
Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from the design, engineering, manufacturing and sales of customized heavy lifting and carrier equipment used in various engineering and construction of bridge, highways, railway and other applications requiring the lifting and carrying capability.

The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition.  In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenues streams of the Company:

In accounting for long-term engineering and construction-type contracts, the Company follows the provisions of the AICPA’s Statement of Position 81-1—Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts. The Company recognizes revenues using the percentage of completion method of accounting by relating contract costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion. Contract price and cost estimates are reviewed periodically as work progresses and adjustments proportionate to the percentage of completion are reflected in contract revenues and gross profit in the reporting period when such estimates are revised. This method of revenue recognition requires the Company to prepare estimates of costs to complete contracts in progress. In making such estimates, judgments are required to evaluate contingencies such as potential variances in schedule, the cost of materials and labor, and productivity; and the impact of change orders, liability claims, contract disputes, and achievement of contractual performance standards which may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. The asset, "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings", represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue as of August 31, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $452,821 and $5,584,255 respectively.

The Company also generates technical service incomes in accordance with terms stated in the agreements with its customers.

The Company's revenue consists of invoiced value of goods, net of a value-added tax (VAT). No product return or sales discount allowance is made as products delivered and accepted by customers are normally not returnable and a sales discount is normally not granted after products are delivered.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion for corporate image and product marketing and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising expenses as incurred and classifies these expenses under selling expenses, which amounted to $46,739 and $45,879 for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Research and Development

The Company expenses all research and development expenses as incurred and classifies these expenses under general and administrative expenses, which amounted to $2,953 and $46,406 for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China. Income taxes are accounted for under FASB ASC-740 Income Taxes or ASC 740. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax loss carry forwards. Any deferred tax assets and liabilities would be measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Beginning January 1, 2008, the new Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT”) Law of China replaced the existing China laws for Domestic Enterprises (“DES”) and Foreign Invested Enterprises (“FIEs”). The new standard EIT rate of 25% replaced the 33% rate that was applicable to both DES and FIEs. The two year tax exemption, three year 50% tax reduction tax holiday for production-oriented FIEs was eliminated.

The Company has received a 50% tax exemption (Tax Exemption Certificate) from the tax authorities in the PRC for the corporate enterprise income tax for the years ended 2009 through 2008. The reduced income tax rate for the company is 7.5% and will be effective until December 31, 2009.

In addition, the Company is required to pay 17% value added taxes (VAT) at the machinery sales and to pay 5% business tax at the service incomes. The city construction taxes and educational taxes are based on 7% and 3% of the value added taxes and business taxes. The Company had accrued these taxes liabilities for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

As of August 31, 2009, the accounts of BWMC were maintained and its financial statements were expressed in Chinese Renminbi (RMB). Such financial statements were translated into United States Dollars (USD) in accordance with GAAP, with the RMB as the functional currency. All balance sheet items, assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rates of the balance sheet dates, shareholders’ equity is translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with GAAP as a component of shareholders’ equity.

During the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, the transactions of BWMC were denominated and recorded in RMB at the rates of exchange in effect when the transactions occur. Exchange gains and losses are recognized for the different foreign exchange rates applied when the foreign currency assets and liabilities are settled. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Accumulated other comprehensive income consisted of unrealized gains or losses resulting from the translation of financial statements from RMB to US dollars. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, the unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments were a gain of $11,793 and $563,716, respectively.

Statement of Cash Flows

In accordance with GAAP, cash flows from the Company’s operations is based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

Segment Reporting

GAAP requires the use of the management approach model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on how a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. Based on this model, the Company has one reportable business segment, manufacture and marketing non-standard heavy lifting and carrying equipment in China.
 
Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.

The Company’s operations are carried out in the PRC. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced by the political, economic and legal environments in the PRC, and by the general state of the PRC’s economy. The Company’s business may be influenced by changes in PRC governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion and remittance abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
 
Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.  The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.  In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements.  If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Codification: In July 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued standards that established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative US GAAP for nongovernmental entities. The ASC supersedes all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards that existed at the ASC’s effective date, including FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force and related literature. The FASB uses Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to amend the ASC. The Codification was effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued a standard that established new standards to govern the accounting for, and reporting of, non-controlling interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of control of subsidiaries. Non-controlling interest will be reported as part of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Losses will be allocated to the noncontrolling interest and, if control is maintained, changes in ownership interests will be treated as equity transactions. Upon a loss of control, any gain or loss on the interest sold will be recognized in earnings. This new standard was effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted and evaluated this standard and determined that there was no impact as of August 31, 2009 and 2008.

In March 2008, the FASB issued a standard that is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has evaluated the new standard and determined that there was no impact as of August 31, 2009 and 2008.

In May 2009, the FASB issued a standard that established general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In accordance with this Statement, an entity should apply the requirements to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has adopted this statement.

On June 16, 2008, the FASB issued a standard to address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The new standard determines that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earning per share calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has adopted and evaluated the new standard and determined that there was no impact as of August 31, 2009 and 2008.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements.

b. Companies established before March 16, 2008 will continue to enjoy tax holiday treatment approved by the local government for a grace period of the next 5 years or until the tax holiday term is completed, whichever is sooner.

The Company is a high technology company and enjoys the benefit of a reduced income tax rate at 15%. The applicable new EIT for the Company is 7.5% for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company incurred an income tax expense of $839,158 and $371,986 for the years August 31, 2009 and 2008.

(b)           Without limiting the specificity of any of the foregoing, it is the intent of the parties to provide for fair and equitable adjustments to the Closing Shares and the Additional Shares (if any) to preserve the economic benefits intended to be provided to the Sellers under the terms of this Agreement in the event there is any change in or conversion of the Buyer Ordinary Shares and, accordingly, the Buyer Board of Directors shall make appropriate equitable adjustments in connection therewith, as determined in the good faith judgment of the Buyer Board of Directors.
