Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Development Stage Company Policy [Policy Text Block]

Development stage company

 

The Company complies with the reporting requirements of FASB ASC 915, “Development Stage Entities.” At September 30, 2012, the Company had not commenced any operations nor generated revenue to date. All activity through September 30, 2012, relates to the Company’s formation, the Offering as well as the beginning efforts to identify a prospective target business. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of a Business Transaction, at the earliest. The Company does generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on the designated Trust Account.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Net loss per common share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per 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 effect of the 2,000,000 outstanding warrants issued in connection with the Offering, the 2,333,333 outstanding warrants issued in connection with the private placement and the 100,000 units (and underlying shares and warrants) issued in connection with the underwriters’ purchase option have not been considered in diluted loss per share calculations since the effect of such securities would be anti-dilutive. As a result, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share for the period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” we are required to record certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value and may choose to record other financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value as well. Also under U.S. GAAP, we are required to record nonfinancial assets and liabilities at fair value due to events that may or may not recur in the future, such as an impairment event. When we are required to record such assets and liabilities at fair value, that fair value is estimated using an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. That fair value is determined based on significant inputs contained in a fair value hierarchy as follows:

 

     Level 1 Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets to which we have access at the measurement date.
   
     Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
   
     Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

 

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the only level 1 assets and liabilities on our balance sheet that are required to be reported at fair value on a recurring basis are the investment in the trust account and the warrant liability. We used Level 1 inputs to value the U.S. Treasury securities in our trust account for disclosure purposes (Note C). The fair value of the warrant liability of $2,253,333 as of September 30, 2012 was valued using quoted market prices.

 

We have other non-derivative financial instruments, such as cash, a note receivable, pre-paid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses whose carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Concentration of credit risk

 

At September 30, 2012, financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash held in Trust Account. The Company maintains its cash balances in various financial institutions. The Company maintains cash in accounts which, at times, exceeds insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in connection with these accounts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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 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.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income tax

 

The Company complies with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The Company’s deferred tax asset at September 30, 2012, relating to expenses recorded for book purposes which are not yet deductible for tax purposes, is approximately $139,186. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company established a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax asset at September 30, 2012. The Company complies with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification or FASB ASC 740-10-25 which establishes recognition requirements for the accounting for income taxes. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2012. The section 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. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2012. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
