Overview
We were formed on April 13, 2006, to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination in the life sciences sector in India. Our management will make the determination that a target business has operations primarily in India by considering the locations of the physical operations, management and other employees, the principal executive offices and other physical establishments. The initial business combination must be a transaction with one or more operating businesses having primary business operations located in India and in which the collective fair market value of the target business, at the time of the business combination, is at least 80% of our net assets (exclusive of the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) at the time of the business combination. Our initial business combination may involve the simultaneous acquisition or merger of more than one target business.
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues through February 14, 2007, the date we consummated our initial public offering. Our entire activity since inception through February 14, 2007 has been related to our formation and our initial public offering. Until July 11, 2008, the date we entered into an exclusive letter of intent relating to a business combination with a target company with business operations primarily in India, our efforts had been limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering, our capital stock, debt, or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, in effecting a business combination.
On August 7, 2008, we issued a press release announcing that we had entered into an exclusive non-binding letter of intent to complete a business combination with a company having business operations primarily in India. Pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the execution of the letter of intent affords us a six-month extension for completion of a business combination, until February 14, 2009.
The consummation of the business combination is subject to, among other things, completion of due diligence, board of directors approval, negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, audit of the target financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, required stockholder approval and the receipt of all required regulatory approvals. In addition, closing of the transaction is also conditioned on holders of fewer than 25% of the shares of the Company's common stock voting against the transaction and electing to convert their shares of the Company's common stock into cash. Pursuant to the letter of intent, the Company has an exclusive period of up to 40 days from entering into the letter of intent to negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement.
Due to regulatory and shareholder approvals as well as the additional conditions associated with the proposed transaction, we cannot assure stockholders and investors that we will enter into a definitive agreement and consummate a business combination within the allotted time. If we do not effect a business combination by February 14, 2009, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We generated gross proceeds of $93,600,000 from the sale of the units in the initial public offering and the private placements. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, non-accountable expense allowance and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds to us from the offering (including the underwriters' over-allotment option) were $86,410,240, of which $86,250,004 was deposited into a trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, and the remaining proceeds of $160,240 became available to be used by us to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. Up to $2,300,000 of the interest earned on the trust account, net of taxes, may be released to us to fund our working capital requirements. In addition, $3,680,000, representing the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and non-accountable expenses, were deposited into the trust account for a total of $89,930,004 deposited into the trust account (or $7.82 per unit sold in the public offering). The amounts deposited into the trust account remain on deposit in the trust account earning interest. The funds held in the trust account, other than the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, may be used as consideration to pay the sellers of a target business with which we ultimately complete a business combination. Upon the consummation of a business combination, we will pay the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and accrued interest thereon held in the trust account to the underwriters. Any amounts not paid as consideration to the sellers of the target business or to the underwriters as deferred underwriting discounts and commissions may be used to finance the operations of the target business.
As of June 30, 2008, we had cash not held in the trust account of $1,045,829. We will generate interest income on our cash outside of the trust account which can also be used to pay part of our costs and expenses. We will be using the funds not held in trust for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices 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. Our cash requirements are expected to change based on the timing, nature and outcome of our intended business combination.
We are obligated to pay Johnson and Colmar, an affiliate of one of our directors, officers and stockholders, an administrative fee of $7,500 per month for office space and general and administrative services from February 8, 2007 through the consummation of a business combination. These services include those of Haigler Investments provided to Johnson and Colmar on our behalf, and in particular Cliff Haigler who was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer on June 15, 2007. At June 30, 2008, an aggregate of $123,750 has been paid.
We are obligated to pay up to $100,000, subject to adjustment, to Mercurius Advisory Services for various consulting services to us in connection with the proposed business combination prior to the closing. In addition, we are obligated to pay $24,000 to Technopak Advisors for professional services to us in connection with the proposed business combination prior to closing. Further, we are obligated to reimburse a number of finders and consultants for expenses incurred in connection with services provided to us prior to the closing of a business combination. We anticipate that we will incur significant additional legal and accounting expenses in connection with our efforts to complete a business combination. We have agreed to pay all of the expenses associated with the proposed business combination, other than the target's direct legal expenses, subject to our agreement to reimburse up to $100,000 of legal expenses incurred in the United States by the target in the proposed business combination.
We believe that the funds available to us outside of the trust account will be sufficient to allow us to operate through February 14, 2009, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. Approximately $2,300,000 of working capital over this time period has been funded from the interest earned from the funds held in the trust account. Over this period, we anticipate incurring expenses for the following purposes:
• payment of premiums associated with our directors and officers liability insurance;
• expenses for due diligence investigations of potential targets;
• legal, accounting and other expenses relating to our SEC reporting obligations and general corporate matters;
• legal, accounting, consulting and other expenses attendant to structuring and negotiating a business combination;
• payment for administrative and support services; and
• other miscellaneous expenses.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following this offering 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. We would only consummate such a fund-raising simultaneously with the consummation of a business combination.

Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
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, the 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.
