Annual Report
We received net proceeds of approximately $79.1 million from the IPO and the
Private Placement. Of those net proceeds, approximately $2.73 million is
attributable to the portion of the underwriters' discount which has been
deferred until our consummation of a business combination. Of these net
proceeds, $78.8 million was deposited into a Trust Account maintained at
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Trust Account") and will be
held in trust and not released until the earlier to occur of (i) the completion
of a business combination or (ii) our liquidation, in which case such proceeds
will be distributed to our public stockholders. For a more complete discussion
of our financial information, see the section appearing elsewhere in this Annual
Report entitled "Selected Financial Data."
We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our IPO, our capital
stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, in effecting a
business combination. The issuance of additional shares of our capital stock in
a business combination:
• may significantly reduce the equity interest of our stockholders;
• may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if we issue preferred stock with rights senior to those afforded to our common stock;
• will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and most likely will also result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and
• may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock
Similarly, if we issue debt securities, it could result in:
• default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a
business combination are insufficient to pay our debt obligations;
• acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contains covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and we breach any such covenant without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
• our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; and
• our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security is outstanding.
Results of Operations
Through December 31, 2007 our efforts have been limited to organizational
activities related to our initial public offering, activities related to
identifying and evaluating prospective acquisitive candidates, and activities
related to general corporate matters. We have neither engaged in any operations
nor generated any revenues, other than interest income earned on the proceeds of
our private placement and initial public offering. For the period ended
December 31, 2007, we earned $340,417 as interest income, of which $48,682 was
received as of December 31, 2007.
As of December 31, 2007 we had $75,457 of unrestricted cash and $340,417 of
additional interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account available to
us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due
diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters.
The following table shows the total funds held in the Trust Account through
December 31, 2007.
Net proceeds from an initial public and private placement of stock and warrants to our initial stockholders (excluding $250,000 not held in trust) $ 76,085,000 Deferred underwriters' discount and compensation $ 2,730,000 Total interest received to date $ 48,682 Less total interest disbursed to us for working capital through December 31, 2007 $ -0- Less total taxes paid through December 31, 2007 $ -0- Total funds held in Trust Account through December 31, 2007 $ 78,863,682 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds from our offering and
private placement, including the funds held in the Trust Account (excluding
deferred underwriting discounts and commissions), to acquire a target business
and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our capital stock
is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination,
the proceeds held in the Trust Account which are not used to consummate a
business combination will be disbursed to the combined company and will, along
with any other net proceeds not expended, be used as working capital to finance
the operations of the acquired business or businesses. Such working capital
funds could be used in a variety of ways, including, without limitation, for
maintenance or expansion of the operations of an acquired business or
businesses, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in
consummating our business combination, to fund 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.
We believe that the $250,000 in funds available to us outside of the Trust
Account, together with up to $1,700,000 of interest earned on the Trust Account
balance, net of taxes payable on such interest, that may be released to us to
fund our expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and
other working capital requirements, will be sufficient to allow us to operate
for the next 24 months, assuming that a business combination is not consummated
during that time. However, we cannot guarantee that our estimates will be
accurate. We may request the release of such funds for a number of purposes that
may not ultimately lead to a business combination. For instance, we could use a
portion of the funds available to us to pay fees to consultants to assist us
with our search for a target business. We could also use a portion of the funds
as a down payment with respect to a particular proposed business combination, or
enter into a letter of intent where we pay for the right to receive exclusivity
from a target business, where we may be required to forfeit funds (whether as a
result of our breach or otherwise). In any of these cases, or in other
situations where we expend the funds available to us outside of the Trust
Account for purposes that do not result in a business combination, we may not
have sufficient remaining funds to continue searching for, or to conduct due
diligence with respect to, a target business, in which case we would be forced
to obtain alternative financing or liquidate. We will be using these funds for
identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing
business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from
the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses,
reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target
businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring,
negotiating and consummating the business combination. We anticipate that we
will incur approximately:
• $800,000 of expenses for legal, accounting and other expenses attendant to
the due diligence investigation, structuring and negotiating of a business
combination;
• $180,000 of expenses for office space and administrative and support services payable to Clarity Partners, L.P. ($7,500 per month for 2 years);
• $200,000 of expenses in legal and accounting fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations; and
• $770,000 for general working capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses and general corporate purposes (including director and officer liability insurance premiums).
The amount of available proceeds is based on management's estimates of the
costs needed to fund our operations for the next 24 months and consummate a
business combination. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds
following our IPO in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our
business. However, we may need to raise additional funds through a private
offering of debt or equity securities, if such funds are required to consummate
a business combination that is presented to us, although we have not entered
into any such arrangement and have no current intention of doing so.
We are obligated to pay to Clarity a monthly fee of $7,500 for office space
and administrative and support services. Barry A. Porter, one of our special
advisors, is a co-founder and Managing General Partner of Clarity, and the
grantor trust of Mr. Porter, Nautilus Trust dtd 9/10/99, is one of our initial
stockholders.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This Statement defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting principles, expands disclosures about fair value measurements and
applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements.
However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS
No. 157 will change current practice.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be its fiscal
year beginning January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS
No. 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on its financial
statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." This Statement permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments at fair value. Unrealized gains and
losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in
earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its
financial position and results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), "Business Combinations). SFAS
141(R) provides companies with principles and requirements on how an acquirer
recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets
acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree
as well as the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business
combination. SFAS 141(R) also requires certain disclosures to enable users of
the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. Acquisition costs associated with the business combination
will generally be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for business
combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which
will require us to adopt these provisions for business combinations occurring in
fiscal 2009 and thereafter. Early adoption of SFAS 141(R) is not permitted.
Redeemable common stock
We account for redeemable common stock in accordance with Emerging Issue Task
Force D-98 "Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities". Securities
that are redeemable for cash or other assets are classified outside of permanent
equity if they are redeemable at the option of the holder. In addition, if the
redemption causes a redemption event, the redeemable securities should not be
classified outside of permanent equity. As further described above, we will only
consummate a business combination if a majority of the shares of common stock
voted by the public stockholders owning shares sold in our IPO vote in favor of
the business combination and public stockholders holding less than 30%
(2,999,999) of common shares sold in our IPO exercise their conversion rights.
As further discussed above, if a business combination is not consummated by
November 19, 2009, we will liquidate. Accordingly, 2,999,999 shares have been
classified outside of permanent equity at redemption value. We recognizes
changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the
carrying value of the redeemable common stock to equal its redemption value at
the end of each reporting period.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
Our financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.
GAAP).
Development Stage Company
We comply with the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 7, "Accounting and
Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises."
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a significant
concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. We maintains deposits in
federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.
However, management believes we are not exposed to significant credit risk due
to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits
are held.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values of our assets and liabilities that qualify as financial
instruments under SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instrument," approximate their carrying amounts presented in the accompanying
balance sheet.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such
designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from
time to time by the Board of Directors. There were no preferred shares issued as
of December 31, 2007.
Net Income per Common Share
We comply with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the
statement of operations. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
warrants were to be exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance
of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
The Company's statement of operations includes a presentation of earnings per
share for common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the
two-class method of earnings per share. Basic and diluted net income per share
amount for the maximum number of shares subject to possible redemption is
calculated by dividing the net interest attributable to common shares subject to
possible redemption by the weighted average number of shares subject to possible
redemption. Basic and diluted net income per share amount for the shares
outstanding not subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the net
income exclusive of the net interest income attributable to common shares
subject to redemption by the weighted average number of shares not subject to
possible redemption.
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 income and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Income Taxes
We comply with SFAS 109, "Accounting for 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.
We also comply with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards
Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48").
FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording
in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be
taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosures and transitions. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of
December 31, 2007. We would recognize 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 December 31, 2007. Management is currently
unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments,
accruals, or material deviations from its position. We adopted FIN 48 effective
June 1, 2007 (date of inception) and has determined that the adoption did not
have an impact on the our financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates,
foreign exchanges, commodity prices, equity prices, and other market-driven
rates or prices. We are not presently engaged in and, if we do not consummate a
suitable business combination prior to the prescribed liquidation date of the
trust fund, we may not engage in, any substantive commercial business.
Accordingly, we are not and, until such time as we consummate a business
combination, we will not be, exposed to risks associated with foreign exchange
rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other market-driven rates or prices.
The net proceeds of our initial public offering held in the trust fund may be
invested by the trustee only in United States "government securities" within the
meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 having a
maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain
conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Given our limited risk in our exposure to government securities and money market
funds, we do not view the interest rate risk to be significant.
