TABLE OF CONTENTS
Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report 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. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our
expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, or strategies regarding the future. In
addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations of future
events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The
words anticipates, believe, continue, could, estimate, expect, intend, may,
might, plan, possible, potential, predict, project, should, and would, as well as
similar expressions, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does
not mean that a statement is not forward looking. Forward-looking statements in this report may
include, for example, statements about our:
|
|
|
ability to complete a combination with one or more target businesses;
|
|
|
|
|
success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers or
directors following a business combination;
|
|
|
|
|
potential inability to obtain additional financing to complete a business combination;
|
|
|
|
|
limited pool of prospective target businesses;
|
|
|
|
|
potential change in control if we acquire one or more target businesses for stock;
|
|
|
|
|
public securities limited liquidity and trading;
|
|
|
|
|
inability to have our securities listed on the American Stock Exchange
following a business combination or the delisting of our securities from the American
Stock Exchange;
|
|
|
|
|
use of proceeds not in trust or available to us from interest income on the trust account
balance; or
|
|
|
|
|
our ongoing financial performance.
|
The forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this report are based
on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects
on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have
anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties, or
assumptions, many of which are beyond our control, that may cause actual results or performance to
be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These
risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in our Annual
Report on
Form 10-K
under Item 1A, Risk Factors. We undertake no obligation to update or revise
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or
otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
References in this report to we, us, or our company refer to Atlas Acquisition Holdings
Corp. References to public stockholders refer to purchasers of our securities in our initial
public offering and subsequent purchasers in the secondary market. To the extent our founders
purchased common stock in our initial public offering or thereafter in the open market they would
be public stockholders for liquidation and dissolution purposes, but will vote all such shares in
favor of our initial business combination and therefore would not be eligible to seek redemption in
connection with a vote on a business combination.

ATLAS ACQUISITION HOLDINGS CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Discussion of the Companys Organization and Business Operations
Atlas Acquisition Holdings Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) (the Company) was
incorporated on September 6, 2007 for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other similar business combination, an unidentified
operating business (Business Combination). The Companys efforts in identifying a prospective
target business (Target Business) are not limited to a particular industry segment. All
activities from September 6, 2007 (date of inception) through March 31, 2009 were related to the
Companys formation, capital raising activities and identifying prospective target businesses. The
Company has selected December 31st as its fiscal year end.
The Company is considered to be a development stage company and, as such, the financial statements
presented herein are presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises. The Company is subject
to the risks associated with the activities of development stage companies.
The registration statement for the Companys initial public offering (Offering) was declared
effective on January 23, 2008. The Company consummated the offering on January 30, 2008 for gross
proceeds of $200 million, and contemporaneous with the consummation of the Offering, the Companys
stockholders prior to the offering (Initial Stockholders) purchased an aggregate of 5,800,000
warrants at $1.00 per warrant (Insider Warrants) in a private placement transaction (Private
Placement). The Companys management intends to apply substantially all of the net proceeds of the
Offering and the Private Placement toward consummating a Business Combination. The initial Target
Business must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the Companys net assets, excluding
the amount held in the trust account (Trust Account) representing the deferred portion of the
underwriters discount (Note 7), at the time of such acquisition. However, there is no assurance
that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
Management has agreed that $200 million or $10.00 per Unit sold in the Offering, which includes the
$5.8 million received from the Private Placement will be held in the Trust Account and maintained
by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The money will be invested in
permitted U.S. government securities, within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (Investment Company Act) 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 which $8,955,000 or $0.45 per Unit will be paid to the underwriters only upon the
consummation of a Business Combination. The placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect
those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all
vendors, prospective acquisition targets or other entities it engages, execute agreements with the
Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the
Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. Up to an aggregate of
$3.5 million earned on the monies held in the Trust Account and $100,000 of net proceeds not held
in trust at the close of the Offering may be used to pay for due diligence of prospective Target
Businesses, legal and accounting fees relating to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
reporting obligations and working capital to cover miscellaneous expenses, director and officer
insurance and reserves. Since the consummation of the Offering through March 31, 2009, the Company
has generated $2,479,956 of interest income on the net proceeds of the Offering held in the Trust Account,
of which $1,673,233 has been withdrawn for working capital purposes and $2,723 has been credited to the balance
of the Trust Account and not withdrawn. The Company has also withdrawn $804,000 from the Trust Account for the payment of income taxes.
At March 31, 2009, the Company had the right to withdraw from
the Trust Account an additional $1,826,767 for working capital purposes.
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, is obliged to submit
such transaction for approval by a majority of the public stockholders of the Company (Public
Stockholders). Stockholders that vote against such proposed Business Combination and exercise
their redemption rights are, under certain conditions described below, entitled to convert their
shares into a $10.00 per share distribution from the Trust Account (Redemption Right). The actual
per share redemption price will be equal to the amount in the Trust Account (inclusive of any
interest thereon, net of tax), calculated as of two business days prior to the proposed Business
Combination, divided by the number of shares sold in the Offering, or approximately $10.00 per
share, based on the value of the Trust Account as of March 31, 2009.

ATLAS ACQUISITION HOLDINGS CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Note 1 Discussion of the Companys Organization and Business Operations (continued)
The Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their 5,000,000 founding shares of Common Stock in
accordance with the manner in which the majority of the shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering
are voted by the Companys Public Stockholders with respect to a Business Combination. In the event
that a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock voted by the Companys Public
Stockholders vote for the approval of the Business Combination and holders owning 30% or more of
the outstanding Common Stock do not vote against the Business Combination and do not exercise their
Redemption Rights, the Business Combination may then be consummated.
The Companys Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Companys corporate existence will
cease in the event it does not consummate a Business Combination by January 23, 2010. If the
Company does not effect a Business Combination by January 23, 2010 (the Target Business
Acquisition Period), the Companys corporate existence will cease. In such case, the Company will
dissolve and liquidate for the purpose of winding up its affairs and will promptly distribute the
amount held in the Trust Account, which is substantially all of the proceeds from the Offering,
including any accrued interest, to its Public Stockholders in proportion to their respective equity
interests. As of March 31, 2009, the Company has not executed any definitive agreements related to
an acquisition.
With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated, any Public Stockholders
who vote against the Business Combination and exercise their Redemption Right will have their
common shares cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares. The share
price will be $10.00 per share cash payment (which includes $0.45 attributable to the deferred
underwriting compensation) if the Business Combination is completed, plus any interest earned on
their portion of the Trust Account but less any interest that has been released to the Company to
fund its working capital requirements and to pay any of its tax obligations. Accordingly, Public
Stockholders holding less than 30% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all Public
Stockholders may seek redemption of their shares in the event of a Business Combination.
Note 2 Initial Public Offering
In its initial public offering, effective January 23, 2008 (closed on January 30, 2008), the
Company sold to the public 20,000,000 units (the Units or a Unit) at a price of $10.00 per
Unit. Net proceeds from the initial public offering totaled approximately $185.3 million, which was
net of approximately $5.7 million in underwriting fees and other expenses paid at closing and
approximately $9.0 million of deferred underwriting fees. Each Unit consists of one share of the
Companys common stock, $.001 par value (Common Stock), and one warrant (a Public Warrant and,
together with Insider Warrants, Warrants).
$194.2 million of the net proceeds from the initial public offering (which includes $8,955,000 of
the proceeds attributable to the underwriters discount), plus $5.8 million the Company received
from the sale of the Insider Warrants simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering, has
been placed into the Trust Account at Bank of America, which is maintained by American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee. The proceeds held in trust will only be invested in U.S.
government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having
a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7
promulgated thereunder.
Proceeds held in the Trust Account will not be available for the Companys use for any purpose,
except to pay any taxes and up to $3.5 million can be taken from the interest earned on the Trust
Account to fund the Companys working capital.

ATLAS ACQUISITION HOLDINGS CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and should be read in conjunction
with the Companys audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December
31, 2008 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27,
2009. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments) that are,
in the opinion of management necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position
and results of operations. The operating results for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Development Stage
The Company is in the development stage as defined in SFAS No. 7. To date, the
Company has not generated any revenues and has devoted its efforts to various start-up activities
including development and capital raising.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Included in cash and cash equivalents are deposits with financial
institutions as well as short-term money market instruments with original maturities of three
months or less when purchased.
Investments Held in Trust Account
The Companys restricted investments held in the Trust Account
at March 31, 2009 are currently invested in two treasury funds that include only U.S. Treasury
bills, notes, and other short-term obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Both funds are
rated AAA by Standard & Poors, and neither fund invests in repurchase agreements. However, the
Company may in the future invest the proceeds held in trust in different U.S. government
securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act 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. The Company recognized interest income of $25,724 and $733,038
on investments held in the Trust Account for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and
$2,479,950 and $733,038 for the period from inception (September 6, 2007) to March 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively, which are included on the accompanying statements of operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a
significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and investments held in the
Trust Account. The Company may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in
excess of federally insured limits. However, management believes the Company is not exposed to
significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those
deposits are held.
Earnings Per Share
The Company complies 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 Sock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
The Companys statement of operations includes a presentation of net income per share for Common
Stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of net income per
share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Emerging Issue Task Force,
Topic No. D-98 Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities (EITF D-98). Basic and
diluted income per common share amounts for the maximum number of shares subject to possible
redemption are calculated by dividing the net interest income attributable to common shares subject
to redemption by the weighted average number of common shares subject to possible redemption.

ATLAS ACQUISITION HOLDINGS CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Basic and diluted net income per share amounts for the shares outstanding not subject to redemption
is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares not subject to
possible redemption. The Company has dilutive securities in the form of 25,800,000 Warrants,
including 5,800,000 Insider Warrants which resulted in approximately 3,969,150 incremental common
shares for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 4,448,268 and 1,736,503 from September 6, 2007
(date of inception) to March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively, using the treasury stock
method, based on the assumed exercise of the Warrants. No incremental shares were included in
diluted loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2009 since the Company reported
a net loss for the period then ended, and their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The incremental
shares are added to the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding (not subject to
possible redemption), used in the calculation of diluted net income per share.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Companys assets and liabilities
that qualify as financial instruments under SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instrument, approximate their fair value presented in the accompanying condensed balance
sheets, due to their short-term maturities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Companys management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect certain 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company complies with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting 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 and are 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 income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company also complies with FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which provides criteria for the
recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit
from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the position
is sustainable based on its technical merits.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with EITF D-98.
Securities that are convertible into cash or other assets are classified outside of permanent
equity if they are convertible at the option of the holder. In addition, if the redemption causes a
liquidation event, the convertible securities should not be classified outside of permanent equity.
As discussed in Note 1, a Business Combination will only be consummated if a majority of the shares
of Common Stock voted by the Public Stockholders are voted in favor of a Business Combination and
Public Stockholders holding less than 30% (6,000,000) of common shares sold in the Offering
exercise their redemption rights. As further discussed in Note 1, if a Business Combination is not
consummated by January 23, 2010, the Company will liquidate. Accordingly, 5,999,999 shares of
Common Stock have been classified outside of permanent equity at redemption value. The Company
recognizes changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value
of the convertible Common Stock to equal its redemption value at the end of each reporting period.

Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, ''Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R
replaces SFAS 141 and establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and
measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. SFAS 141R also establishes
disclosure requirements which will enable users 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 141R is effective for business combinations occurring in the fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will require the Company to adopt these provisions
for business combinations occurring in fiscal 2009 and thereafter.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 requires that ownership interests in
subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, and the amount of consolidated net income, be
clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated financial statements. It also
requires once a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the
former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value. Sufficient disclosures are required to
clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the
non-controlling owners. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority
interests. All other requirements are applied prospectively. Upon the successful completion of a
Business Combination, the Company anticipates applying the provisions of SFAS 141R and potentially
SFAS 160.
On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments and
hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008, which will require the Company to adopt these provisions beginning in fiscal
2009 and thereafter. Management is currently evaluating the effect that SFAS 161 may have on the
Companys financial statement disclosures.
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting
standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed interim
financial statements.
Note 4 Deferred Registration Costs
The Company complied with the requirements of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A
Expenses of Offering. Deferred registration costs consisted principally of legal and accounting
fees incurred related to the Offering and were charged to additional paid-in capital upon the
completion of the Offering.
Note 5 Notes Payable to Initial Stockholders
The Company issued an aggregate of $150,000 in unsecured promissory notes to two of its Initial
Stockholders or their affiliates on September 19, 2007 (the Notes). The Notes bore interest at a
rate of 5% per annum and were payable in full, within 60 days following the consummation of the
Offering. The Notes, along with accrued interest, were repaid in full on January 31, 2008 in
connection with the consummation of the Offering.

Note 6 Fair Value Measurements
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company implemented SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (SFAS
157), for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at
each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported
at fair value at least annually. The adoption of SFAS 157 to the Companys financial assets and
liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair
value at least annually did not have an impact on the Companys financial results.
The following table presents information about the Companys assets and liabilities that are
measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2009, and indicates the fair value
hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In
general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data
points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values
determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes
situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability:

Note 7 Commitments
Administrative Fees
Commencing on January 23, 2008, the Company agreed to pay an affiliate of one of its sponsors
$10,000 per month for office, administrative, technology, and secretarial services. The Company
recognized $30,000 and $22,903 of such expense during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively, and $142,903 and $22,903 for the period from inception (September 6, 2007) to
March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which is included in general and administrative costs on the
accompanying condensed statements of operations.
Underwriting Agreement
In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the
Underwriting Agreement) with the underwriters of the Offering. The Company paid an underwriting
discount of 2.5225% of the Offering proceeds ($5,045,000) to the underwriters at the closing of the
Offering. The Company will pay the underwriters an additional fee of 4.4775% of the Offering
proceeds ($8,955,000) upon the consummation of a Business Combination.

Note 8 Capital Stock
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock with such
designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time-to-time by the
Board of Directors.
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue an aggregate of 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
Public Warrants
Each Public Warrant included in the Units sold in the Offering will be exercisable for one share of
Common Stock. Except as set forth below, the Public Warrants entitle the holder to purchase shares
of Common Stock at $7.00 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends and
splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar events, for a period commencing on the
completion of a Business Combination and ending four years from the date of the Offering. The
Company has the ability to redeem the Public Warrants, in whole or in part, at a price of $.01 per
Public Warrant, at any time after the Public Warrants become exercisable, upon a minimum of 30
days prior written notice of redemption, and if, and only if, the last sale price of the Companys
Common Stock equals or exceeds $14.25 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading-day
period ending three business days before the Company sent the notice of redemption. If the Company
dissolves before the consummation of a Business Combination, there will be no distribution from the
Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants, which will expire worthless. In addition, under
no circumstances will the Company be required to net cash settle the exercise of the Public
Warrants.
Insider Warrants
The Insider Warrants, sold concurrently with the Offering in the Private Placement, are
substantially identical to the Public Warrants and may not be sold or transferred, except in
limited circumstances, until after the consummation of a Business Combination. If the Company
dissolves before the consummation of a Business Combination, there will be no distribution from the
Trust Account with respect to such Insider Warrants, which will expire worthless.
As the proceeds from the exercise of the Public Warrants and Insider Warrants will not be received
until after the completion of a Business Combination, the expected proceeds from exercise will not
have any effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations prior to a Business
Combination.
The sale of the Insider Warrants did not result in any stock-based compensation expense as the
Insider Warrants were sold at or above fair value.
Registration Rights Warrants
In accordance with the Warrant Agreement related to the Public Warrants and the registration rights
agreement associated with the Insider Warrants, the Company is only required to use its reasonable
best efforts to register the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants and once effective to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of
such registration statement. The Company is not obligated to deliver securities, and there are no
contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities, if a registration statement is not
effective at the time of exercise. However, with regards to the Insider Warrants, the Company may
satisfy its obligation by delivering unregistered shares of Common Stock. In the event that a
registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of the Public Warrants
shall not be entitled to exercise. Consequently, the Warrants may expire unexercised and
unredeemed. The holders of Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of the
Companys Common Stock or any voting rights
until such holders exercise their respective Warrants and receive shares of the Companys Common
Stock.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Results
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our financial
statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results
may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a
variety of factors, which include, but are not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A Risk
Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
Overview
We were formed on September 6, 2007, to effect a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition,
reorganization or similar business combination with an operating business or businesses. We
consummated our initial public offering on January 30, 2008. We received net proceeds of
approximately $194.3 million from our initial public offering. Net proceeds of $194.2 million were
deposited into a trust account at Bank of America, maintained by American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, as trustee, which included $8,955,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and will be part of
the funds distributed to our public stockholders in the event we are unable to complete a business
combination. In addition, we deposited into the trust account gross proceeds of $5.8 million
received from the sale of insider warrants, which sale was consummated concurrently with the
closing of our initial public offering. Unless and until a business combination is consummated, the
proceeds held in the trust account will not be available to us. The approximately $100,000 of
remaining proceeds have been used for business, legal, and accounting due diligence on prospective
transactions and continuing general and administrative expenses.
As of March 31, 2009, we had no contractual obligations other than standard non-disclosure
agreements in connection with our due diligence of business combination targets.
We are currently in the process of evaluating and identifying targets for a business
combination. We intend to use cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering, our capital
stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. The issuance of additional shares of our
stock in a business combination:
|
|
|
may significantly reduce the equity interest of our stockholders;
|
|
|
|
|
may cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our stock are
issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss
carry-forwards, if any, and may also result in the resignation or removal of Mr. James
N. Hauslein, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, or one or more of
our other present directors; and
|
|
|
|
|
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
|
Similarly, debt securities issued by us in a business combination may result in:
|
|
|
default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a business
combination were 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 contained covenants
requiring the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and any such covenant
was breached without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
|
|
|
|
|
our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt
security was payable on demand; and
|
|
|
|
|
our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security
contained covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such
debt security was outstanding.
|
12
Results of Operations
All of our activities since inception have been to prepare for and consummate our initial
public offering and to identify and investigate targets for a business combination. We will not
generate any operating revenues until the consummation of a business combination. We have generated
non-operating income in the form of interest income.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $166,000, which consisted
of $28,000 of interest income partially offset by $282,000 of general and administrative costs, and
$88,000 benefit for income taxes.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was approximately $357,000, which
consisted of $734,000 of interest income partially offset by approximately $199,000 of general and
administrative costs, $177,000 provision for income taxes and $1,000 of interest expense.
Net income for the period from September 6, 2007 (date of inception) to March 31, 2009 was
approximately $908,000, which consisted of $2,499,000 of interest income partially offset by
approximately $1,123,000 of general and administrative costs, $465,000 provision for income taxes
and $3,000 of interest expense.
Net income for the period from September 6, 2007 (date of inception) to March 31, 2008 was
approximately $345,000, which consisted of $734,000 of interest income partially offset by
approximately $209,000 of general and administrative costs, $177,000 provision for income taxes and
$3,000 of interest expense
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have never
established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other
entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long term-debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations,
purchase obligations, or other long term liabilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The net proceeds from our initial public offering, after deducting offering expenses of
approximately $650,000 and underwriting discounts of $14.0 million, was approximately $185.4
million. However, the underwriters agreed that approximately $0.45 per unit of the underwriting
discounts and commissions will be deferred and will not be payable unless and until we consummate a
business combination. Net proceeds of $194.2 million, plus $5.8 million we received from the sale
of the insider warrants, were deposited into the trust account.
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering,
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 remaining proceeds held in the trust account as well as any other net proceeds not
expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such
working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the
target business operations, for 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 that we incur prior to the completion of our business combination if the
funds available to us outside of the trust account are insufficient to cover such expenses.
13
We believe that approximately $100,000 of net proceeds from our initial public offering not
deposited in the trust account, plus (i) interest earned on the funds in the trust account up to
$3.5 million that may be released to us, as well as (ii) interest earned on the funds in the trust
account for any amounts necessary for our tax obligations, will be sufficient to allow us to
operate at least until January 23, 2010, assuming that a business combination is not consummated
during that time. Over this time period, 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 or their representatives or owners, 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:
|
|
|
$1,750,000 of expenses for the search for target businesses and for the legal,
accounting, and other third-party expenses attendant to the due diligence
investigations, structuring, and negotiating of a business combination;
|
|
|
|
|
$750,000 of expenses for the due diligence and investigation of a target business by
our officers, directors, and special advisors;
|
|
|
|
|
$200,000 of expenses in legal and accounting fees relating to our SEC reporting
obligations;
|
|
|
|
|
$240,000 for the administrative fee payable to Hauslein & Company ($10,000 per month
for 24 months following our initial public offering); and
|
|
|
|
|
$660,000 for general working capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses
and reserves, including approximately $200,000 for director and officer liability
insurance premiums.
|
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds beyond those raised from our initial
public 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, although we have
not entered into any such arrangement and have no current intention of doing so.
Since the consummation of our initial public offering through March 31, 2009, we have generated $2,479,956 of interest
income on the net proceeds of our initial public offering held in the
trust account, of which $1,673,233 has been withdrawn for working capital purposes and $2,723 has been credited to the balance of the trust
account and not withdrawn. We have also withdrawn $804,000 from the
trust account for the payment of income taxes. At March 31,
2009, we had the right to withdraw from the trust account an
additional $1,826,767 to fund
our working capital needs. Although we have the authority to withdraw such additional funds from the trust account in the future for working capital purposes before reaching the $3.5 million that may be released to us,
we do not expect that our earnings on the trust account will be
sufficient to enable us to withdraw this amount based on current
average yield rates on qualified securities.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair
value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or equity prices. $194.2 million of
the net offering proceeds (which includes $8,955,000 of the proceeds attributable to the
underwriters discount), plus $5.8 million we received from the sale of insider warrants
simultaneously with the consummation of our initial public offering, has been placed into a trust
account at Bank of America, maintained by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee. As
of March 31, 2009, the balance of the trust account was $200 million. The proceeds held in trust
will only be invested in U.S. 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.
Thus, we are subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on
government securities. The effect of other changes, such as foreign exchange rates, commodity
prices and/or equity prices, does not pose significant market risk to us.
At March 31, 2009, the proceeds held in trust were invested in two treasury funds that include
only U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and other short-term obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.
Both funds are rated AAA by Standard & Poors, and neither fund invests in repurchase agreements.
However, we may in the future invest the proceeds held in trust in different U.S. 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.
The U.S. and world financial markets have been experiencing extreme and unprecedented
volatility. In light of these difficult conditions and the on-going developments in the regulatory
environment surrounding the financial markets, there can be no certainty as to the effect these
events will have on U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and other short-term obligations.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the trust account earned interest in the amount of
$25,724, and the effective annualized interest rate payable on the trust account was approximately
0.005% (based on the average yield earned during the last reported quarterly period). Assuming no
other changes to our holdings as of March 31, 2009, a 0.0025% decrease in the yield on the trust
account would result in a decrease of approximately $12,862 in the interest earned on the trust
account during the following fiscal quarter.
14
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. James N. Hauslein, our Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer (who is our
Principal Financial Officer), participated in this evaluation. Based upon that evaluation, Mr.
Hauslein concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the
period covered by this report.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During our quarterly period ended March 31, 2009, there was no change in our internal control
over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
Use of Proceeds from our Initial Public Offering
On January 30, 2008, we consummated our initial public offering of 20,000,000 units. Each
unit was sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit and consists of one share of our common
stock, $0.001 par value per share, and one warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an
exercise price of $7.00 per share. The units sold in our initial public offering were registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No.
333-146368), which was declared effective by the SEC on January 23, 2008. Lazard Capital Markets
LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated acted as joint book runners for our initial public
offering.
We received net proceeds of approximately $194.3 million from our initial public offering.
Net proceeds of $194.2 million were deposited into a trust account, which included $8,955,000 of
deferred underwriting fees, and will be part of the funds distributed to our public stockholders in
the event we are unable to complete a business combination. In addition, we deposited into the
trust account gross proceeds of $5.8 million received from the sale of insider warrants, which sale
was consummated concurrently with the closing of our initial public offering. Unless and until a
business combination is consummated, the proceeds held in the trust account will not be available
to us. The approximately $100,000 of remaining proceeds not deposited into the trust account,
together with certain interest income from the trust account, has been used to provide for
business, legal, and accounting due diligence on prospective transactions and continuing general
and administrative expenses.
Excluding $8,955,000 of the deferred underwriters fee held in trust and payable upon the
consummation of a business combination, we intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of
the initial public offering deposited in the trust account to acquire a target business, including
identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the target business, and
structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination. 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 fund as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used to finance the
operations of the target business.
