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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Discussion of the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 September 30, 2009 were related to the Company’s 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 as those of a development stage company. The Company is subject to the risks associated with the activities of development stage companies.

The registration statement for the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 September 30, 2009, the Company has generated $2,752,141 of interest income on the net proceeds of the Offering held in the Trust Account, of which $1,837,389 has been withdrawn for working capital purposes and $45,752 has been credited to the balance of the Trust Account and not withdrawn. The Company has also withdrawn $869,000 from the Trust Account for the payment of income taxes. At September 30, 2009, the Company had the right to withdraw from the Trust Account an additional $1,662,611 for working capital purposes. Although the Company has the authority to withdraw such additional funds from the Trust Account in the future for working capital purposes before reaching the $3,500,000 that may be released to it, the Company does not expect that its earnings on the Trust Account will be sufficient to enable it to withdraw this amount based on current average yield rates on qualified securities.

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 September 30, 2009.

(a corporation in the development stage)

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Note 1 — Discussion of the Company’s 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 Company’s Public Stockholders with respect to a Business Combination. In the event that a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock voted by the Company’s 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 Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company’s 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 Company’s 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 September 30, 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s working capital.

NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM 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 Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s 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 Company’s 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. 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 Company’s restricted investments held in the Trust Account at September 30, 2009 are currently invested in three money market funds that include, among other things, short-term debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and domestic or foreign financial institutions, commercial paper and other short-term corporate obligations, repurchase agreements, and asset-backed securities. The Company may in the future invest the proceeds held in trust in different money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or 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. The Company recognized interest income of $175,943 and $736,777 on investments held in the Trust Account for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, $297,916 and $2,143,994 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $2,752,141 for the period from inception (September 6, 2007) to September 30, 2009, 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 the provisions of ASC 260-10-45, which requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if Warrants were to be exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of Common Stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of 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. 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.

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 (loss) 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 6,212,155 and 5,411,731 incremental common shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, and resulted in 5,121,027 from September 6, 2007 (date of inception) to September 30, 2009, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 Company’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (formerly FAS 157, Fair Value Measurements), 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 Company’s 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 accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes . FASB ASC 740 prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement and classification of amounts relating to uncertain tax positions, accounting for and disclosure of interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition relating to the adoption of the new accounting standard.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

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.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, (formerly SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R )) regarding the consolidation of variable interest entities. ASC 810 is intended to improve financial reporting by providing additional guidance to companies involved with variable interest entities and by requiring additional disclosures about a company’s involvement in variable interest entities. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending after November 15, 2009, which will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (formerly SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets ). ASC 860 requires more information about transfers of financial assets and where companies have continuing exposure to the risk related to transferred financial assets. ASC 860 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosure. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending after November 15, 2009, which will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (formerly SFAS No. 168, The “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” ™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 ). ASC 105 establishes the FASB ASC as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, except for SEC rules and interpretive releases, which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of the standard on September 30, 2009, which did not have a material impact on its unaudited condensed financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events (formerly SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events ). ASC 855 establishes general accounting standards and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. ASC 855 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ended after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of the standard, which had no effect on the unaudited condensed financial statements and subsequent events through the date of this report. The Company evaluated subsequent events from October 1, 2009 to November 9, 2009, the date the Company issued its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820) 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 ASC 820 to the Company’s 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 Company’s financial results.

ASC 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly and Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring a company to develop its own assumptions.

The following table shows, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2009:

Description	September 30, 2009		Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Total	$	200,089,895	$	200,089,895	$	-	$	-

The fair values of the Company’s cash equivalents and investments held in the Trust Account are determined through market, observable and corroborated sources.

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 $30,000 of such expense during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, $90,000 and $82,903 of such expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $202,903 for the period from inception (September 6, 2007) to September 30, 2009, 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 $.001 par value 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s Common Stock or any voting rights until such holders exercise their respective Warrants and receive shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S 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 September 30, 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.

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 September 30, 2009 was approximately $158,000, which consisted of $177,000 of interest income and $82,000 benefit for income taxes offset by $417,000 of general and administrative costs.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $372,000, which consisted of $742,000 of interest income offset by $178,000 of general and administrative costs and $192,000 provision for income taxes.

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $506,000, which consisted of $303,000 of interest income and $263,000 benefit for income taxes offset by $1,072,000 of general and administrative costs.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was approximately $1,036,000, which consisted of $2,154,000 of interest income offset by $591,000 of general and administrative costs, $526,000 provision for income taxes, and $1,000 of interest expense.

Net income for the period from September 6, 2007 (date of inception) to September 30, 2009 was approximately $567,000, which consisted of $2,773,000 of interest income offset by approximately $1,913,000 of general and administrative costs, $290,000 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.

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 September 30, 2009, we have generated $2,752,141 of interest income on the net proceeds of our initial public offering held in the trust account, of which $1,837,389 has been withdrawn for working capital purposes and $45,752 has been credited to the balance of the trust account and not withdrawn. We have also withdrawn $869,000 from the trust account for the payment of income taxes. At September 30, 2009, we had the right to withdraw from the trust account an additional $1,662,611 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2009, the proceeds held in trust were invested in three money market funds , which include, among other things, short-term debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and domestic or foreign financial institutions, commercial paper and other short-term corporate obligations, repurchase agreements, and asset-backed securities. We may in the future invest the proceeds held in trust in different money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or 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.

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 September 30, 2009, the trust account earned interest in the amount of $175,943, and the effective annualized interest rate payable on the trust account was approximately 0.35% (based on the average yield earned during the last reported quarterly period). Assuming no other changes to our holdings as of September 30, 2009, a 0.10% decrease in the yield on the trust account would result in a decrease of approximately $50,000 in the interest earned on the trust account during the following fiscal quarter.

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 September 30, 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.
