Business Context and Reporting Period

This Form 8-K is filed by Andina Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands entity, reporting an event dated May 20, 2013. The company is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) seeking a business combination. Note: The request metadata references "Tecnoglass Holdings Inc.," but the filing text explicitly identifies the registrant as Andina Acquisition Corporation.

Key Financial Metrics

The filing does not provide standard financial metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or existing debt levels. The only financial data disclosed relates to a specific new obligation:

  • New Debt Obligation: $100,000 loan received from the A. Lorne Weil 2006 Irrevocable Trust.
  • Interest Rate: Non-interest bearing.
  • Security: Unsecured promissory note.
  • Liquidity Impact: Immediate cash inflow of $100,000.

Material Changes

The material change reported is the creation of a direct financial obligation and the unregistered sale of equity securities (via potential conversion). The company borrowed $100,000 from a trust associated with its Chairman. This differs from prior periods as it introduces a new contingent liability that may convert into equity or be forgiven.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

Terms of the Obligation:

  • Repayment Trigger: Payable only upon the consummation of a Business Combination (share exchange, asset acquisition, etc.).
  • Conversion Option: Upon a Business Combination, the holder may convert the principal into warrants at $0.50 per warrant. Full conversion yields 200,000 warrants.
  • Warrant Terms: Identical to IPO warrants except they are non-redeemable while held by the Trust.
  • Forgiveness Clause: If no Business Combination is consummated, the note will not be repaid, and all amounts owed will be forgiven.
Risks and Contingencies:
  • The obligation is contingent entirely on the success of a future business combination.
  • The issuance was exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Investor Verification Checklist

  • Verify the identity of the registrant (Andina Acquisition Corporation) versus the metadata reference (Tecnoglass Holdings Inc.).
  • Confirm the relationship between the lender (A. Lorne Weil 2006 Irrevocable Trust) and the Chairman of the Board.
  • Review the specific terms of the IPO warrants to understand the value of the potential 200,000 convertible warrants.
  • Assess the company's current cash runway and the necessity of this $100,000 bridge loan.
