NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Opes Acquisition Corp.
(the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on July 24, 2017. The Company was formed for the
purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other
similar business transaction with one or more operating businesses or entities that the Company has not yet identified (a “Business
Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating
a Business Combination, the Company is currently focusing on businesses in Mexico.
All activity through
June 30, 2019 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which
is described below, and identifying a target business for a Business Combination.
The registration statement
for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 13, 2018. On March 16, 2018, the Company consummated
the Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units
sold, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000, which is described in Note 4.
Simultaneously with
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 400,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”)
at a price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement to Axis Public Ventures S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Axis Public Ventures”),
an affiliate of Axis Capital Management (the “Sponsor”), Lion Point Capital (“Lion Point”) and the other
stockholders of the Company prior to the Initial Public Offering (“Initial Stockholders”), generating gross proceeds
of $4,000,000, which is described in Note 5.
Following the closing
of the Initial Public Offering on March 16, 2018, an amount of $101,000,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale
of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”)
which may be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment
company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment
Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution
of the Trust Account upon failure to consummate a Business Combination, as described below.
On March 20, 2018,
in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option in full, the Company consummated the sale of
an additional 1,500,000 Units, and the sale of an additional 45,000 Private Placement Units each at $10.00 per unit, generating
total gross proceeds of $15,450,000. Following the closing, an additional $15,150,000 of the net proceeds ($10.10 per Unit) was
placed in the Trust Account, resulting in $116,150,000 ($10.10 per Unit) held in the Trust Account.
Transaction costs
amounted to $2,731,946, consisting of $2,300,000 of underwriting fees and $431,946 of other costs. As of June 30, 2019, $212,162
of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes.
The Company’s
management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and
private placement of Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally
toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses
that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable) at the
time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if
the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise
acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
The Company will provide
its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination
either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer.
The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will
be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion
of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account ($10.10 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the
Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations). There will be no redemption
rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
OPES ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2019
(Unaudited)
The Company will proceed
with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of such Business
Combination and, solely if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor
of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder
vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file
tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction
is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other legal reasons, the Company will
offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer
rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Initial Stockholders
have agreed to (a) vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 6), Placement Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares
held by them in favor of approving a Business Combination and (b) not to convert any shares in connection with a stockholder vote
to approve a Business Combination (or to sell any shares in any tender offer in connection with a Business Combination). Additionally,
each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business
Combination.
The Company has until
September 16, 2019 (or such later date as may be approved by stockholders) to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination
Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i)
cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business
days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount
then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding
Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right
to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible
following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed
to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to
provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however,
become subject to claims of creditors. Therefore, the actual per-share redemption amount could be less than $10.10.
The Initial Stockholders
have (i) waived their redemption rights with respect to Founder Shares, Placement Shares and any Public Shares they may acquire,
(ii) waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and Placement
Shares if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period and (iii) agreed that they will
not propose any amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect Public Stockholders’
ability to convert or sell their shares to the Company in connection with a Business Combination or affect the substance or timing
of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within
the Combination Period unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares in conjunction
with any such amendment. However, the Initial Stockholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions with respect to any Public
Shares acquired if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination or liquidates within the Combination Period.
In order to protect
the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a
vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed
entering into a Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account below $10.10 per share. This liability
will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any
kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of
the Proposed Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will
not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility
that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service
providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company
waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
As of June 30, 2019,
the Company had $212,162 in its operating bank accounts, $118,635,956 in securities held in the Trust Account to be used for a
Business Combination or to repurchase or redeem its common stock in connection therewith and working capital of $45,216, which
excludes franchise and income taxes payable as these amounts can be paid from the interest earned in the Trust Account. As of June
30, 2019, approximately $2,486,000 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available
to pay the Company’s tax obligations.
Until the consummation
of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective
acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the
target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company will
need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors,
or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from
time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working
capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional
capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited
to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot
provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include
any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial
reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements
include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018 as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The
financial information as of December 31, 2018 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30,
2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any future interim
periods.
Emerging growth company
The Company is an
“emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business
Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements
that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required
to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding
executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding
advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1)
of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards
until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not
have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt
out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates
for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time
private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s balance sheet with another
public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended
transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of estimates
The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires
management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition,
situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating
its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could
differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers
all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company
did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Marketable securities held in Trust Account
At June 30, 2019 and
December 31, 2018, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in U.S. Treasury Bills. During the six months ended
June 30, 2019, the Company withdrew an aggregate of $511,769 of interest earned on the Trust Account to pay its franchise and income
tax obligations.
Common stock subject to possible redemption
The Company accounts
for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a
liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features
redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events
not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified
as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside
of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible
redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s
condensed balance sheets.
Income taxes
The Company
complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset
and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future
taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are
expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 due to
the impact of state income taxes and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 due to true-up adjustments from the
prior year tax returns.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes
a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be
sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized
tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts
accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant
payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company may be
subject to potential examination by federal, state, city and foreign taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential
examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and
compliance with federal, state, city and foreign tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount
of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net loss per common share
Net loss per
common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The
Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption
at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been
excluded from the calculation of basic loss per common share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro
rata share of the Trust Account earnings. The Company has not considered the effect of (1) warrants sold in the Initial
Public Offering and private placement to purchase 11,945,000 shares of common stock and (2) 750,000 shares of common stock
and warrants to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock in the unit purchase option sold to the underwriters and their
designees, in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants and the exercise of the unit
purchase option is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as
basic loss per common share for the periods.
Reconciliation of net loss per common
share
The Company’s
net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption, as these
shares only participate in the earnings of the Trust Account and not the income or losses of the Company. Accordingly, basic and
diluted loss per common share is calculated as follows:

Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments
that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which,
at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company
had not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of
the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due
to their short-term nature.
Recently issued accounting standards
Management does not
believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.
NOTE 4. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial
Public Offering, the Company sold 11,500,000 units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, inclusive of 1,500,000 units sold to
the underwriters on March 20, 2018 upon the underwriters’ election to exercise their over-allotment option in full. Each
Unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder
to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (see Note 8).

NOTE 5. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously
with the Initial Public Offering, the Initial Stockholders purchased an aggregate of 400,000 Private Placement Units, at
a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000. On March 20, 2018,
the Company consummated the sale of an additional 45,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement
Unit, which were purchased by the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $450,000. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one
share of common stock (“Placement Share”) and one warrant (“Placement Warrant”) to purchase one share
of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the
proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination
within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption
of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
In November 2017,
the Company issued an aggregate of 2,875,000 shares of common stock (“Founder Shares”) to Axis Public Ventures for
an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. On March 9, 2018, Axis Public Ventures transferred 2,012,500 Founder Shares to the other
Initial Stockholders for the same price originally paid for such shares. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 375,000
shares subject to forfeiture by the Initial Stockholders to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised
in full or in part, so that the Initial Stockholders would own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the
Initial Public Offering (assuming the Initial Stockholders did not purchase any Public Shares in the Proposed Offering and excluding
the Placement Shares). On March 20, 2018, as a result of the underwriters’ election to exercise their over-allotment option
in full, 375,000 Founder’s Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Initial Stockholders
have agreed that, subject to certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares will not be transferred, assigned or sold until the
earlier of six months after the date of the consummation of a Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the
Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations
and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the Business Combination, or earlier
if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction
which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities
or other property.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on March 13, 2018 through the earlier of the
consummation of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly
fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and administrative support. During each of three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018,
the Company incurred $30,000 in fees for these services. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company incurred
$60,000 and $35,000 in fees for these services, respectively. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $155,000 and $95,000 are
included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance
transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers,
directors and other Initial Stockholders may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds from time to time or at any time,
as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Each Working Capital Loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The
Working Capital Loans would either be paid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the holder’s
discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted into units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units
would be identical to the Private Placement Units. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use
a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust
Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.

Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration
rights agreement entered into on March 13, 2018, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (and their underlying
securities) and any Units that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and their underlying securities) are
entitled to registration rights. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the
Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights
at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of common stock are to be released from escrow. The
holders of a majority of the Private Placement Units or Units issued to the Sponsor, officers, directors or their affiliates in
payment of Working Capital Loans made to the Company (in each case, including the underlying securities) can elect to exercise
these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the holders will have
certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion
of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
The Company has engaged
EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., the representative of the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering (“EarlyBirdCapital”),
as an advisor in connection with a Business Combination to assist the Company in holding meetings with its stockholders to discuss
a potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are
interested in purchasing securities in connection with the Business Combination, assist the Company in obtaining stockholder approval
for the Business Combination and assist the Company with its press releases and public filings in connection with a Business Combination.
The Company will pay EarlyBirdCapital a cash fee of $4,025,000 for such services upon the consummation of a Business Combination
(exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable).
Forward Purchase Agreement
Lion Point has entered
into a contingent forward purchase agreement with the Company to purchase, in a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds
of $30,000,000, to occur concurrently with the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, 3,000,000 units
at $10.00 per unit, on substantially the same terms as the sale of Units in the Initial Public Offering. The funds from the sale
of these units may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the initial Business Combination; any excess funds may
be used for the working capital needs of the post-transaction company. This agreement is independent of the percentage of stockholders
electing to redeem their Public Shares and may provide the Company with an increased minimum funding level for the initial Business
Combination. The contingent forward purchase agreement is subject to conditions, including Lion Point giving the Company its irrevocable
written consent to purchase the units no later than five days after the Company notifies Lion Point of the Company’s intention
to meet to consider entering into a definitive agreement for a proposed Business Combination. Lion Point granting its consent to
the purchase is entirely within its sole discretion. Accordingly, if it does not consent to the purchase, it will not be obligated
to purchase the units.

Warrants
The Public Warrants
will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination; provided that the Company has an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current
prospectus relating to them is available. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, the Company will use its best efforts
to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain
the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public
Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement
covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within a specified period following
the consummation of Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement
and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on
a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available.
If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis.
The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company may redeem the Public Warrants:
|
●
|
in
whole and not in part;
|
|
●
|
at
a price of $0.01 per warrant;
|
|
●
|
at
any time during the exercise period;
|
|
●
|
upon
a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and
|
|
●
|
if,
and only if, the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days
within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption
to the warrant holders.
|
|
●
|
if,
and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants.
|
If the Company calls
the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants
to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of common
stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend,
or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common
stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants.
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds
held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they
receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly,
the warrants may expire worthless.
The Placement Warrants
will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Placement Warrants
and the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until
after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Placement Warrants will
be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted
transferees. If the Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the
Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
Unit Purchase Option
On March 13, 2018,
the Company sold EarlyBirdCapital (and its designees), for $100, an option to purchase up to 750,000 Units exercisable at $10.00
per Unit (or an aggregate exercise price of $7,500,000) commencing on the later of March 13, 2019 and the consummation of a Business
Combination. The unit purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and expires
on March 17, 2023. The Units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those offered in the Initial Public Offering.
The Company accounted for the unit purchase option, inclusive of the receipt of $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Initial
Public Offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The fair value of the unit purchase option was estimated
to be approximately $2,633,621 (or $3.51 per Unit) using the 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 35%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 2.65% and (3) expected life of five years. The option grants to holders demand and “piggy
back” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from March 13, 2018 with respect to the registration under
the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the option. The Company will bear all fees
and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions which will be paid for by the holders
themselves. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise of the option may be adjusted in certain circumstances
including in the event of a stock dividend, or the Company’s recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However,
the option will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company follows
the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting
period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of
the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have
received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities,
the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the
use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following
fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in
order to value the assets and liabilities:
|
Level 1:
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
|
|
Level 2:
|
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
|
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
|
The following table
presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2019 and
December 31, 2018, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluates
subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued.
Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in
the financial statements.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on
our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,”
“should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions.
Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. References to “we”, “us”, “our” or the
“Company” are to Opes Acquisition Corp., except where the context requires otherwise. The following discussion should
be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We are a blank check company formed under
the laws of the State of Delaware on July 24, 2017 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock
purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“business
combination”). Our efforts to identify a prospective target business is not limited to a particular industry or geographic
region although we are currently focusing our search for target businesses in Mexico.
We consummated our initial public offering
of (“Initial Public Offering”) of 10,000,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to
purchase one share of common stock for $11.50 per share, on March 16, 2018. On March 20, 2018, we consummated the sale of an additional
1,500,000 units subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. All activity through March 16, 2018 relates to our formation
and the Initial Public Offering. Since March 16, 2018, we have been searching for a target business with which to complete an initial
business combination.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any business
operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our entire activity from inception up to the closing of our Initial Public Offering
on March 16, 2018 was in preparation for that event. Subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, our activity has been limited to
the evaluation of business combination candidates, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion
of our initial business combination. We have, and expect to continue to generate, non-operating income in the form of interest
income on marketable securities. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting
and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2019,
we had net income of $284,309, which consisted of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $703,004
and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $17,202, offset by operating costs of $233,367 and
a provision for income taxes of $202,530.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019,
we had net income of $664,550, which consisted of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,388,653
and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $18,963, offset by operating costs of $414,517 and
a provision for income taxes of $328,549.
For the three months ended June 30, 2018,
we had net income of $306,703, which consisted of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $531,520,
offset by an unrealized loss on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $6,976, operating costs of $136,313 and a provision
for income taxes of $81,528.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018,
we had net income of $329,152, which consisted of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $614,813
and an unrealized gain on marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $7,606, offset by operating costs of $205,771 and
a provision for income taxes of $87,496.
Our operating expenses principally consisted
of expenses related to our public filings and listing and identification and due diligence related to a potential target business,
and to general operating expenses including printing, insurance and office expenses. Until we consummate a business combination,
we will have no operating revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2019, we had marketable
securities held in the Trust Account of $118,635,956 (including approximately $3,260,000 of interest income) consisting of U.S.
treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay
taxes. Through June 30, 2019, we have withdrawn $773,667 of interest earned on the Trust Account to pay for our franchise and income
tax obligations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash used in operating activities was $505,245. Net income of
$664,550 was offset by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $1,388,653, an unrealized gain on
marketable securities held in our Trust Account of $18,963 and a deferred tax benefit of $10,399. Changes in operating assets and
liabilities provided $248,220 of cash from operating activities.
We intend to use substantially all of the
funds held in the Trust Account to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto, including
a fee payable to EarlyBirdCapital in the amount of $4,025,000. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or
in part, as consideration to effect a business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other
net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital
funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic
acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any
operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our business combination if the funds
available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
Lion Point has entered into a contingent
forward purchase agreement with us to purchase, in a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $30,000,000, to occur concurrently
with the consummation of our initial business combination, 3,000,000 units at $10.00 per unit, on substantially the same terms
as the sale of units in the Initial Public Offering. The funds from the sale of these units may be used as part of the consideration
to the sellers in the initial business combination; any excess funds may be used for the working capital needs of the post-transaction
company. This agreement is independent of the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their public shares and may provide
us with an increased minimum funding level for the initial business combination. The contingent forward purchase agreement is subject
to conditions, including Lion Point giving us its irrevocable written consent to purchase the units no later than five days after
we notify Lion Point of our intention to meet to consider entering into a definitive agreement for a proposed business combination.
Lion Point granting its consent to the purchase is entirely within its sole discretion. Accordingly, if it does not consent to
the purchase, it will not be obligated to purchase the units.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies
or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our sponsor, our officers, directors and other initial
stockholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds from time to time or at any time as may be required.
If we complete a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to
us. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust
Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000
of such loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical
to the private placement units. The loans would be non-interest bearing and would be payable upon consummation of a business combination.
As of June 30, 2019, we had $212,162 in
cash and working capital of $45,216, which excludes franchise and income taxes payable as these amounts can be paid from the interest
earned on the Trust Account. We have not generated operating revenues, nor do we expect to generate operating revenues until the
consummation of a business combination. Until the consummation of a business combination, we will be using the funds not held in
the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target
businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating
the business combination.
We will need to raise additional capital
through loans or additional investments from our sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Our officers, directors
and sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable
in their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If
we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include,
but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead
expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
as of June 30, 2019.
Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital
lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of our executive
officers an aggregate monthly fee of $10,000 for office space and office and administrative support provided to the Company. We
began incurring these fees upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering and will continue to incur these fees monthly until
the earlier of the completion of a business combination and the Company’s liquidation.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements
and related disclosures 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, 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. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Common stock subject to possible redemption
We account for our common stock subject
to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured
at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within
the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified
as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain
redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly,
common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’
equity section of our condensed balance sheets.
Net loss per common share
We apply the two-class method in calculating
earnings per share. Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable
at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic net loss per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate
in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. Our net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable
to common stock subject to possible redemption, as these shares only participate in the earnings of the Trust Account and not our
income or losses.
Recent accounting standards
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
