Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

NOTE A—DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS; GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments which are of a normal recurring nature and, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full fiscal year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the more complete information and financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. All amounts in the accompanying condensed financial statements, except shares and per share amounts, are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

Golden Pond Healthcare, Inc. (a corporation in the development stage) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 15, 2007. The Company was formed to acquire, through a merger, asset acquisition, stock exchange or other similar business combination, or control through contractual arrangements, an operating business (the “Business Combination”). The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting By Development Stage Enterprises,” and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies.

At June 30, 2009, the Company had not commenced any operations or generated operating revenues. All activity from inception through June 30, 2009 relates to the Company’s formation, capital raising, the initial public offering described below and evaluation of potential acquisition candidates. Following the offering, the Company has not and will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents (held in escrow) from the proceeds derived from the offering.

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Offering”) was declared effective on November 6, 2007 and the Offering was consummated on November 13, 2007, as discussed in Note E. Preceding the consummation of the Offering, an affiliate of the Company’s officers purchased 4,000,000 warrants at $1 per warrant in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) that is discussed further in Note F.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with a Target Business. As used herein, “Target Business” shall mean one or more businesses that at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination has a fair market value of at least 80% of the Company’s net assets (all of the Company’s assets, including the funds then held in the Trust Account, less the Company’s liabilities (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $4,050,000, described below). Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company’s efforts in identifying a prospective Target Business will not be limited to particular companies; however, it expects to focus on operating businesses in the healthcare industry.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a Target Business, will submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that 30% or more of the outstanding stock (excluding, for this purpose, those shares of common stock issued prior to the Offering) vote against the Business Combination, the Business Combination will not be consummated. If a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders are not voted in favor of a proposed initial Business Combination but 24 months has not yet passed since closing of the Offering the Company may combine with another Target Business meeting the fair market value criterion described above.

“Public Stockholders” is defined as the holders of common stock sold as part of the Units in the Offering or in the aftermarket. In the event that Initial Stockholders purchase any additional Units or shares of the Company’s common stock in the after market following the Offering, the Company anticipates that they will vote any shares of common stock so acquired in favor of a Business Combination.

Public Stockholders voting against a Business Combination will be entitled to convert their stock into a pro rata share of the total amount on deposit in the Trust Account, before payment of underwriting discounts and commissions and including any interest earned on their portion of the Trust Account net of income taxes payable thereon, and net of any interest income of up to $2,125,000 on the balance of the Trust Account previously released to the Company, if a Business Combination is approved and completed.

Going Concern Consideration: In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by November 6, 2009, its corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of winding up its affairs and it will liquidate. The Company is still actively pursuing a Business Combination with potential targets. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will result in the consummation of a Business Combination by November 6, 2009.

NOTE B—INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Income per share of common stock, assuming dilution, reflects the maximum potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock and would then share in the net income of the Company, except where the results would be antidilutive. At June 30, 2009, the Company had warrants outstanding to purchase 20,875,000 shares of common stock.

The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate potentially dilutive shares, as if they were converted into common stock at the beginning of the period. For the three ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the period from May 15, 2007 (date of inception) to June 30, 2009, dilutive securities include 892,000, 3,939,000, 4,260,000, 3,718,000 and 2,796,000, respectively, warrants that represent incremental common shares, based on their assumed conversion to common stock, to be included in the weighted average number of common shares for the calculation of diluted income per common share.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to possible conversion in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted amount for the maximum number of shares subject to possible conversion is calculated by dividing the interest income, net of applicable income taxes, attributable to common shares subject to conversion ($48,000, nil, $11,000, nil and $104,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 and for the period from May 15, 2007 (date of inception) to June 30, 2009, respectively by the weighted average number of common shares subject to possible conversion.

NOTE C—INVESTMENT IN TRUST ACCOUNT; MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Since the closing of the Offering, an amount equal to approximately 98.3% of the gross proceeds has been held in a trust account (“Trust Account”). The Trust Account may be invested in U.S. “government securities,” defined as any Treasury Bill or equivalent securities issued by the United States government having a maturity of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less or money market funds meeting the conditions specified in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, until the earlier of (i) the consummation of its first Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. The proceeds in the Trust Account includes $4,050,000 of the gross proceeds representing deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that will be released to the underwriters on completion of a Business Combination.

Investment securities in the Company’s Trust Account consist of (a) United States Federal Home Loan Board obligations and (b) a mutual fund that invests in United States Treasury securities. The Company classifies its United States Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Debt and Equity Securities.” Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. The Company’s investment in the United States Treasury mutual fund account (approximately $53,506,000 at June 30, 2009) is recorded at cost and adjusted for income distributions which occur monthly.

The carrying amount, including accrued interest, gross unrealized holding gains, and fair value of held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2009 were as follows:


	Carrying amount		Gross unrealized holding gains		Fair value
Held-to-maturity:
U. S. Treasury securities	$	79,743,000	$	37,000	$	79,780,000

At June 30, 2009, approximately $336,000 of the trust assets, representing interest income which is available to the Company for working capital purposes and taxes payable on income, is reflected as interest receivable from trust account in the accompanying condensed financial statements. During the period from May 15, 2007 (date of inception) to June 30, 2009, the Company transferred approximately $4,150,000 from the Trust Account including approximately $2,361,000 for payment of income and franchise taxes and approximately $1,789,000 for use in working capital.

NOTE D—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company implemented SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, or 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 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial results for the periods presented in the accompanying financial statements.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 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 in markets that are not active, 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.


Description	June 30, 2009		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Cash equivalents held in Trust Account	$	53,506,000	$	53,506,000	$	—	$	—

Total	$	53,506,000	$	53,506,000	$	—	$	—

The fair values of the Company’s cash equivalents held in the Trust Account are determined through market, observable and corroborated sources (see also, held-to-maturity securities in Note C).

NOTE E—PUBLIC OFFERING

On November 13, 2007, the Company consummated the sale of 16,875,000 units (“Units”), including 1,250,000 Units exercised pursuant to an underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price of $8.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (“Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing on the later of (i) November 6, 2008 or (ii) the completion of a Business Combination with a target business, and will expire November 6, 2011. The Warrants are redeemable at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days prior notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. If the Company is unable to deliver registered shares of common stock to the holder upon exercise of warrants during the exercise period, there will be no cash settlement of the warrants.

The Company paid an underwriting discount of 4% ($5,400,000) of the gross offering proceeds (including the over-allotment option exercise) to the underwriters at the closing of the Offering, with an additional fee of 3% ($4,050,000) of the gross offering proceeds payable upon the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination. The underwriters are not entitled to any interest accrued on the deferred discount.

NOTE F—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During March 2008, the Company issued an aggregate $245,000 unsecured 4.25% promissory notes to Pecksland Partners, LLC (“Pecksland”), a principal stockholder and affiliate of the Company’s officers. On July 16, 2007, the Company issued a $210,000 unsecured 5% promissory note to Pecksland. All of these notes were repaid, together with accrued interest of approximately $12,000, in June 2008.

On July 16, 2007, the Company issued 4,492,188 shares of common stock (“Initial Shares”) to the initial stockholders of the Company (“Initial Stockholders”) for proceeds of $4,492. On December 17, 2007, the Company repurchased 273,438 of such Initial Shares for $273.44 pursuant to a redemption right related to the unexercised portion of the underwriters’ over-allotment option (1,093,750 unexercised Units). Such redemption right is now expired. After this redemption, there are 4,218,750 Initial Shares outstanding at December 31, 2007. The Initial Stockholders have agreed that the shares they owned prior to the Offering will not be transferable until one year from the date of the closing of the initial Business Combination and will be held in an escrow account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

The holders of a majority of the Initial Shares are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register the resale of their shares and warrants and shares underlying the warrants. The holders of the majority of these shares may elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after completion of our initial Business Combination, subject to the transfer restrictions imposed by the lock-up agreements. In addition, these stockholders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, subject to the transfer restrictions imposed by the lock-up agreements. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

On November 13, 2007, Pecksland, purchased, in a Private Placement, 4,000,000 warrants at $1.00 per warrant (“the Insider Warrants”). The aggregate proceeds of the Private Placement are being held in the Trust Account described in Note A. The Insider Warrants are identical to the Warrants underlying the Units of the Offering except that if they are not subject to redemption, the Insider Warrants may be exercised on a “cashless basis,” and cannot be sold or transferred until 90 days subsequent to the Company’s completion of a Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, then the $4 million proceeds will be part of the liquidating distribution to the Public Stockholders and the warrants issued under this transaction will expire worthless.

NOTE G—INCOME TAXES

The Company complies with SFAS No. 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.

The Company also complies 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. The Company adopted FIN 48 on the inception date, May 15, 2007. The Company did not recognize any adjustments for uncertain tax positions during the three or six months ended June 30, 2009.

The Company recorded a deferred income tax asset of approximately $1,085,000 for the tax effect of temporary differences, formation, operating and acquisition diligence costs, aggregating approximately $2,889,000 at June 30, 2009.

The current and deferred components of taxes are comprised of the following for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 and for period from May 15, 2007 (date of inception) to June 30, 2009:


	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,						May 15, 2007 (date of inception) to June 30, 2009
	2009			2008			2009			2008			May 15, 2007 (date of inception) to June 30, 2009
Current tax provision

Total deferred tax benefit		(126,000	)		(88,000	)		(210,000	)		(177,000	)		(1,085,000	)

Provision (benefit) for income taxes		($83,000	)	$	157,000		$	11,000			593,000		$	703,000

The Company has not yet begun its trade or business for U. S. tax reporting purposes. Accordingly, it could not yet recognize losses for start-up expenditures. As a result, a deferred tax asset was established for these start-up expenditures. The difference between the federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate relates to state income taxes net of federal benefit and exemptions from federal surtax levels.

NOTE H—REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK

The Company’s common stock that is redeemable for cash or other assets is classified outside of permanent equity because they are redeemable at the option of the holder. As discussed in Note A, the Business Combination will only be consummated if Public Shareholders holding 5,062,500 (30% of the common shares in the Offering) or more common shares do not vote against a Business Combination. As further discussed in Note A, if a Business Combination is not consummated by November 6, 2009, the Company will liquidate. Accordingly, 5,062,499 shares 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 redeemable common stock to equal its redemption value at the end of each reporting period.

If the Company’s initial Business Combination is approved, Public Stockholders voting against the Business Combination will be entitled to convert their shares of common stock into a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including their pro rata portion of the deferred underwriting discount and any interest income earned on the trust account, net of (1) income taxes payable on the interest income on the trust account and (2) up to $2,125,000 of interest earned on the Trust Account balance which will be available to the Company, net of income taxes payable, to fund working capital requirements. The per share conversion price was approximately $7.88 at both June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

NOTE I—EFFECT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued three final Staff Positions (“FSP”s) intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities. FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities.

FSP FAS 157-4 relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. It reaffirms what SFAS 157 states is the objective of fair value measurement—to reflect how much an asset would be sold for in an orderly transaction (as opposed to a distressed or forced transaction) at the date of the financial statements under current market conditions. Specifically, it reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive.

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 relate to fair value disclosures for any financial instruments that are not currently reflected on the balance sheet of companies at fair value. Prior to issuing this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed once a year. The FSP requires these disclosures on a quarterly basis, providing qualitative and quantitative information about fair value estimates for all those financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value.

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 on other-than-temporary impairments is intended to bring greater consistency to the timing of impairment recognition, and provide greater clarity to investors about the credit and noncredit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. The measure of impairment in comprehensive income remains fair value. The FSP also requires increased and more timely disclosures regarding expected cash flows, credit losses, and an aging of securities with unrealized losses.

The FSPs are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

In May 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. We adopted SFAS 165 during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and its adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162,” which will become the source of authoritative US GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. It is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not believe that this will have a material effect on its condensed financial statements.

Management 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 financial statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “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. 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 Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report.

Overview

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto.

We were formed on May 15, 2007, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition or other similar business combination with one or more domestic or international operating businesses. On November 6, 2007, our Registration Statement on Form S-1 relating to our initial public offering of our units was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on November 13, 2007, we consummated our initial public offering and a private placement of 4,000,000 warrants to Pecksland Partners, LLC, one of our stockholders and an affiliate of our officers and/or directors. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement we consummated in connection therewith, as well a possible issuance of our capital stock or debt, or a combination of cash, capital stock and/or debt, in effecting a business combination.

Since our IPO, we have been actively engaged in seeking a suitable business combination candidate.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

Except for the consummation of our initial public offering and our private placement, activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities relating to general corporate matters, we have not engaged in any operations and other than investment income earned on the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement, we have not generated any revenues to date. For the period from May 15, 2007 (the date of our inception) to June 30, 2009, our only activities have been organizational and general corporate activities and those necessary to prepare for our offering, and following our public offering, certain activities related to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates. Those activities have included multiple proposed business combination transactions, some of which we continue to pursue and others which we are no longer pursuing. We will not generate any operating income until the completion of a business combination (as defined in our prospectus), should it occur. We have generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on the cash held in our trust account. We believe that the funds available to us outside of the trust account, together with the balance of the interest income (net of taxes) on the trust account releasable to us to fund our working capital requirements, will be sufficient to allow us to operate until November 6, 2009, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time and assuming the continued deferral of payment for a portion of certain acquisition diligence fees that are owed as discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources below. However, if the funds available to us are not sufficient to fund our working capital needs throughout this period, we will seek to secure additional capital to pay for, or defer payment, of all or a significant portion of any expenses we incur through November 6, 2009.

Three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008 –

For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we had a net loss of approximately $130,000, which consisted of approximately $334,000 of formation, operating and diligence costs and approximately $103,000 of acquisition diligence costs which were partially offset by interest income of approximately $224,000 and approximately $83,000 of income tax benefits recorded. During 2009, very significantly lower interest rates currently available on U.S. Treasury Bills (compared to rates available when we began investing late in 2007 and at the beginning of 2008) had two effects on net income. For one, interest income is down very significantly (approximately $380,000 or 63%) from the prior year. Secondly, with less reportable income tax for local tax purposes, the Company is subject to an alternative tax on capital which was accrued to formation and operating costs in the three months at approximately $123,000. The effect of lower interest rates had an even greater effect on the three months ended June 30, 2009 because earlier in 2009 we continued to enjoy interest earned on positions placed before interest rates fell to current levels. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, we had a net income of approximately $262,000, which consisted of net interest income of approximately $600,000 reduced by approximately $181,000 of formation and operating costs and approximately $157,000 of income taxes provided.

Six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008 –

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we had net income of approximately $17,000, which consisted of interest income of approximately $674,000 offset by approximately $539,000 of formation and operating approximately $107,000 of acquisition diligence costs and approximately $11,000 of income taxes provided. During 2009, very significantly lower interest rates currently available on U.S. Treasury Bills (compared to rates available when we began investing late in 2007 and at the beginning of 2008) had two effects on net income. For one, interest income is down very significantly (approximately $1,312,000 or 66%) from the prior year. Secondly, with less reportable income tax for local tax purposes, the Company is subject to an alternative tax on capital which was accrued to formation and operating costs in the six months at approximately $123,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we had a net income of approximately $930,000, which consisted of net interest income of approximately $1,981,000 reduced by approximately $456,000 of formation and operating costs and approximately $593,000 of income taxes provided.

From inception to June 30, 2009 –

For the period from May 15, 2007 (the date of our inception) to June 30, 2009, we had net income of approximately $1,074,000, which consisted of net interest income of approximately $4,666,000 reduced by approximately $1,488,000 of acquisition diligence costs, approximately $1,401,000 of formation and operating costs and approximately $703,000 of income taxes.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to possible conversion in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted amount for the maximum number of shares subject to possible conversion is calculated by dividing the interest income, net of applicable income taxes, attributable to common shares subject to conversion ($48,000, nil, $11,000, nil and $56,000 for the three ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 and for the period from May 15, 2007 (date of inception) to June 30, 2009, respectively) by the weighted average number of common shares subject to possible conversion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The net proceeds from our initial public offering and the private placement, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $6,150,000, including underwriting discount (other than the deferred underwriting discount of $4,050,000), were $132,850,000. Of this amount, $132,725,000 (including the $4,000,000 proceeds of the private placement) was placed in the trust account and the remaining $125,000 was made available to us to fund our operating expenses. Under the Trust Agreement, up to $2,125,000 of the interest earned on the trust account (net of taxes) may be used by us to cover a portion of our operating expenses. Through June 30, 2009, approximately $4,150,000 has been transferred to us from the Trust including approximately $1,789,000 of such interest was distributed to us for working capital and another approximately $2,361,000 was distributed to pay franchise taxes and taxes on the Trust interest income. Therefore, we are entitled to draw an additional approximately $336,000 from the Trust Account when it is available, for working capital. During 2008 we incurred approximately $1,381,000 in costs related to a potential acquisition, approximately $1,020,000 of which was payable to two professional services firms and approximately $395,000 of which remains unpaid at June 30, 2009 due to an understanding with such firms regarding the deferral of payment of a portion of the outstanding balance in order to preserve our currently available cash.

Prior to the consummation of our initial public offering, our only source of liquidity was an advance made to us on July 16, 2007, by Pecksland Partners, LLC, one of our stockholders and an affiliate of our officers, in the amount of $210,000, which was used to pay a portion of the expenses of our initial public offering. In addition, during March 2008, Pecksland Partners, LLC, made an advance to us in an amount equal to $245,000 to provide us with liquidity to cover certain tax expenses. On June 6, 2008, the outstanding principal amount of $455,000 due Pecksland Partners, LLC as well as $11,567.93 of interest was paid in full.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than contractual obligations incurred in the normal course of business, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities, guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets or any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries.

Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have determined that we currently are not subject to any critical accounting policies.

Item 3.

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 any substantive commercial business. Accordingly, the risks associated with foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices are not significant. The net proceeds of our initial public offering held in the trust fund and not immediately required for the purposes set forth above have been invested 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 one hundred and eighty days or less. Given our limited risk in our exposure to U.S. Treasury Bills, we do not view the interest rate risk to be significant. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Item 4.

Controls And Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

An investment in our Company involves risks including those risk factors that are disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2008 are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
