Form 10-Q for UNION STREET ACQUISITION CORP.

Quarterly Report


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "could," "would," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "continue," or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other SEC filings.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Critical Accounting Policies
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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. Overview
We were formed on July 18, 2006 as a blank check company for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination, one or more operating businesses. We intended to use cash derived from the net proceeds of our initial public offering to effect a business combination.
On February 9, 2007, the Company sold 12,500,000 units ("Units") at an offering price of $8.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company's common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitled the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing on the later of (a) February 5, 2008 or (b) the consummation of an initial Business Combination with a target business and expiring January 30, 2011.
Recent Developments
On September 14, 2008, the company entered into a letter agreement with Archway Marketing Holdings, Inc., a newly formed corporation ("HoldCo"), held by a limited liability company controlled by Tailwind Capital Partners ("Tailwind Capital") whereby HoldCo agreed that if the Acquisitions were not approved by the stockholders the company and the HoldCo Acquisition, as defined below, is consummated, HoldCo would pay $750,000 to USQ in consideration for USQ providing HoldCo with, among other things, access to the legal and financial due diligence that USQ performed on Archway.

On September 15, 2008, HoldCo, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") whereby HoldCo agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Archway Marketing Services, Inc. ("Archway") from Argenbright, Inc. ("Argenbright") at the same price and on substantially the same terms as are contained in the Archway Purchase Agreement, (the "HoldCo Acquisition"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the HoldCo Acquisition would only be consummated if the Archway Purchase Agreement was terminated.
On September 22, 2008, the Company held its special meeting of stockholders to vote on the proposed Acquisitions. At the special meeting of stockholders the proposed Acquisitions were not approved by the Company's stockholders. Pursuant to its charter and terms of its initial public offering, the Company is not permitted to pursue any other transactions. The Company will begin the process of liquidating and dissolving itself in accordance with its charter and applicable law pending stockholder approval of its plan of liquidation and dissolution. As a result, the Company expects that the amounts held in its Trust Account, together with interest (net of applicable taxes), will be returned to the Company's public stockholders. No payments will be made with respect to the Company's outstanding warrants or to any of its initial stockholders with respect to the shares owned by them prior to the initial public offering. On October 21, 2008, the Company mailed to its stockholders a proxy statement seeking approval to effect the liquidation and dissolution at a special meeting of stockholders scheduled for November 19, 2008. For a more complete discussion see our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on October 21, 2008.
On October 31, 2008, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the "Amended Letter Agreement") with HoldCo which amended that certain letter agreement between the Company and HoldCo, dated as of September 14, 2008, pursuant to which HoldCo agreed to pay to the Company a fee of $750,000 (the "Fee") upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 14, 2008, by and among Archway Marketing Holdings, Inc., Archway Marketing Acquisition, Inc., Argenbright, Inc. and Archway Marketing Services, Inc., as amended (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Amended Letter Agreement, the Company and HoldCo agreed that in consideration of their additional efforts and risks related to the transactions arising from the significant changes in the financing and economic environment in recent weeks and the attendant difficulties, expenses and terms of obtaining reasonable financing for the transactions, the Fee was reduced from $750,000 to $250,000.
On November 3, 2008, the HoldCo Acquisition was consummated and the Company received the Fee.

We presently occupy office space provided by Union Street Capital Management LLC, an affiliate of our initial stockholders. Union Street Capital Management LLC has agreed that, until we consummate the acquisition of a target business, it will make such office space, as well as certain office and secretarial services, available to us, as we may require from time to time. We have agreed to pay Union Street Capital Management LLC $7,500 per month for such services commencing on February 1, 2007. The statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 includes $22,500 and $67,500, respectively, related to this agreement. Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe we will have sufficient available funds outside of the trust account to operate through February 7, 2009, or until our dissolution and liquidation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Warrants issued in conjunction with our initial public offering are equity linked derivatives and accordingly represent off-balance sheet arrangements. The warrants meet the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) 133 and are accordingly not accounted for as derivatives for purposes of FAS 133, but instead are accounted for as equity. See Note C to the financial statements for more information. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company implemented SFAS No. 157, which did not have an impact on Company's financial results. In accordance with the provisions of FSP No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, the Company has elected to defer implementation of SFAS 157 as it relates to its non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities until January 1, 2009.
We adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ("SFAS 159") on January 1, 2008. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. We have not made any fair value elections as permitted under the provisions of SFAS 159; therefore, the adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
