Annual Report
References to the "Company," "us" or "we" refer to China Growth Equity Investment Ltd. The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.
General
We are a newly organized blank check company formed on January 18, 2010 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We are not limited to a particular industry or minimum transaction value for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. In addition, we will not effect a business combination with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.
Restatement of Financial Statements
In December 2012, the Company announced that it had identified historical accounting errors relating to the accounting treatment of a warrant liability. These accounting errors have resulted in the misstatement of certain charges arising from fair value adjustments and changes to warrant liability since the third quarter of 2011. The Company undertook a review to determine the total amount of the errors and the accounting periods in which the errors occurred. The Company determined that, in the aggregate, the errors were material and would require the Company to restate certain of its previously issued financial statements, including its previously issued audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, and related auditors' report and the unaudited financial statements it previously released as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2011, September 30, 2011, March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012.
The effects of the restatement on selected statement of operation line items for the year ended December 31, 2011 are as follows:

Results of Operations
Through December 31, 2011, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to our Offering , activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities relating to general corporate matters. We have not generated any revenues, other than interest income earned on the proceeds held in the Trust Account and non-cash gains related to the change in fair value of our warrant liability. As of December 31, 2011, $50,255,577 was held in the Trust Account (including $2,250,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and $2,975,000 from the sale of the Insider Warrants) and we had cash outside of trust of $134,028, $382,830 in advances to affiliates, $100,844 in prepaid expenses and $11,500 in accrued expenses. Through December 31, 2011, the Company had not withdrawn any funds from interest earned on the Trust Account proceeds. Other than the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, no amounts are payable to the underwriters of our Offering in the event of a business combination. For the period from January 18, 2010 (inception) through December 31, 2011, we had net loss of $155,635.
We have agreed to pay Chum Capital Group, an entity owned and controlled by the Company's Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative services and secretarial support. For the period from January 18, 2010 (inception) to December 31, 2011 the Company has incurred $70,000 for these costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2011, we had cash of $134,028, $50,255,577 investment held in trust and a $328,830 advance to our affiliate. Until the consummation of the Offering the Company's only source of liquidity was the initial purchase of Founder Shares by the Sponsor and an unsecured promissory note with an officer of the Company.
On June 2, 2011, we consummated the Company's Offering of 5,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Company's Offering, we consummated the private sale of 3,966,667 Insider Warrants for $2,975,000 in proceeds. We received net proceeds from the Company's Offering and the sale of the Insider Warrants of approximately $51,151,641, net of the non-deferred portion of the underwriting commissions of $1,250,000 and offering costs and other expenses of approximately $573,359.
We will depend on sufficient interest being earned on the proceeds held in the Trust Account to provide us with additional working capital we may need to identify one or more target businesses, conduct due diligence and complete our initial business combination, as well as to pay any franchise and income taxes that we may owe. As described elsewhere in this Report, the amounts in the Trust Account may be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. The current low interest rate environment may make it more difficult for such investments to generate sufficient funds, together with the amounts available outside the Trust Account, to locate, conduct due diligence, structure, negotiate and close our Initial Business Combination. If we are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow funds from our Sponsor or management team to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Neither our Sponsor nor our management team is under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such loans would be repaid only from funds held outside the Trust Account or from funds released to us upon completion of our Initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.
Off-balance sheet financing arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial assets.
Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative services and secretarial support payable to Chum Capital Group, an entity owned and controlled by the Company's Chairman and Chief Financial Officer. We began incurring this fee on June 2, 2011 and will continue to incur this fee monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and the Company's liquidation.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 to our audited financial statements included elsewhere in this report. We believe the following critical accounting polices involved the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
