GSC ACQUISITION COMPANY

(a development stage company)

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 — Organization and Nature of Business Operations

GSC ACQUISITION COMPANY (a development stage company) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 26, 2006. The Company was formed to acquire through merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar Business Combination, one or more businesses or assets. The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue from operations to date. All activity through March 31, 2009 relates to the formation of the Company, its initial public offering, negotiation, efforts to identify prospective target businesses and the negotiation and execution of the Merger Agreement and the Company’s efforts to consummate the merger thereunder, as described below and in Notes 3 and 7. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of its initial Business Combination, if any. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of dividend income on cash and cash equivalents. 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.

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective June 25, 2007. The Company consummated the IPO on June 29, 2007 and recorded proceeds of approximately $191.5 million, net of the underwriters’ discount and commission of $14.5 million and offering costs of $1.0 million.

GSCAC Holdings I LLC (“Holdings I”), GSCAC Holdings II LLC (“Holdings II”) and GSCAC Merger Sub LLC (“Merger Sub”) (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”) are Delaware limited liability companies that were formed in April 2008. The Company owns 100% of Holdings I, which owns 100% of Holdings II, which owns 100% of Merger Sub. As of March 31, 2009, there were no assets or liabilities and there were no activities in any of the subsidiaries.

A total of approximately $201.7 million, including $191.5 million of the net proceeds from the IPO, $4.0 million from the sale of warrants to the Company’s first stockholder (the “Founding Stockholder”) (see Note 4) and $6.2 million of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, has been placed in a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company serving as trustee. Except for a portion of the dividend income permitted to be released to the Company, the proceeds held in trust will not be released from the trust account until the earlier of the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. Under the terms of the investment management trust agreement, up to a total of $2.4 million of dividend income earned (net of taxes payable) may be released to the Company, subject to availability. As of March 31, 2009, the full $2.4 million had been released to the Company in accordance with those terms and the balance in the trust account was approximately $203.4 million.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination with an existing operating company. As used herein, a “target business” shall mean one or more businesses or assets that, at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination, has a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts of $6.2 million) described below and a “Business Combination” shall mean the acquisition by the Company of such target business.

GSC ACQUISITION COMPANY

(a development stage company)

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

Note 1 — Organization and Nature of Business Operations (continued)

The Company will seek stockholder approval before it will effect any Business Combination, even if the Business Combination would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable state law. In connection with the stockholder vote required to approve any Business Combination, the Company’s Founding Stockholder and four of its directors have agreed to vote any shares of common stock they own that were issued prior to the IPO in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders. “Public Stockholders” is defined as the holders of common stock sold as part of the Units in the IPO or in the aftermarket. The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders are voted in favor of the Business Combination and Public Stockholders holding not more than 20% of the shares (minus one share) sold in the IPO vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights. 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, the Company may combine with a different target business meeting the fair market value criterion described above so long as such combination is approved by public stockholders prior to June 25, 2009.

If a Business Combination is approved and completed, any Public Stockholder voting against a Business Combination will be entitled to convert their stock into a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, before payment of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and including any interest earned on their pro rata portion of the trust account, net of income taxes payable by the Company thereon, and net of the dividend income earned of $2.4 million on the balance of the trust account previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements. Public Stockholders who convert their stock into their share of the trust account will continue to have the right to exercise any Warrants they may hold. As of March 31, 2009, 4,139,999 shares of common stock may be subject to conversion for cash payments of approximately $9.74 per share totaling approximately $40.3 million.

During the period from July 1, 2007 to March 31, 2009, the Company earned enough dividends to begin accreting dividend income to the common stock subject to possible conversion. Accordingly, the Company accreted approximately $0.9 million of dividend income, net of $0.5 million of income taxes as of March 31, 2009.

The Company will dissolve and promptly distribute only to its Public Stockholders the amount in the trust account, less any income taxes payable on dividend income earned and the dividend income earned of $2.4 million on the balance of the trust account previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements, plus any remaining net assets if the Company does not effect a Business Combination by June 25, 2009. In the event of liquidation, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including trust account assets) will be less than the IPO price per Unit in the IPO (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units).

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals and all values are stated in United States dollars. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going concern consideration –As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at March 31, 2009 the Company had unrestricted cash of $74 and a total of $4.0 million in accrued expenses and accounts payable. These costs mainly relate to the pursuit of the Company’s acquisition plans and specifically Complete Energy. There is no assurance that the Company will successfully complete a Business Combination by June 25, 2009. As a result, the Company cannot assure that the cash available will be sufficient to cover expenses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to satisfy its outstanding obligations and to continue operations as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements are as follows:

GSC ACQUISITION COMPANY

(a development stage company)

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Cash and cash equivalents:

The Company and its Subsidiaries consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents held in trust:

A total of approximately $201.7 million was originally placed in a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company serving as trustee. The trust proceeds are invested in the “JPMorgan 100% U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Fund.” The money market fund invests exclusively in direct short-term obligations of the US Treasury. As of March 31, 2009, the balance in the trust account was approximately $203.4 million, which includes approximately $4.1 million of dividend income earned since the inception of the trust net of approximately $3.0 million of taxes paid and $2.4 million released to the Company as of March 31, 2009 as allowed under the IPO agreement

Fair Value Measurements:

The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments reflect the estimates of amounts that would be received from selling an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value estimates presented in this report are based on information available to the Company as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 200 8 .

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), the Company applies a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value. The three levels are the following:

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents held in the trust account were estimated using Level 1 inputs and the carrying value approximates the fair value because of their nature and respective duration. No investments were included as Level 2 or Level 3 investments during 2008 and 200 9 .

Deferred acquisition costs:

Deferred acquisition costs consisted principally of legal, consulting and other professional fees incurred through December 31, 2008 that are directly related to Complete Energy as discussed in Note 7. In accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“FAS 141R”) the Company expensed all acquisition costs related to Complete Energy on January 1, 2009. Accordingly, for the period from January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2009 the condensed consolidated statement of operations reflects a $4.6 million expense of acquisition costs.

Accounts payable:

Accounts payable are outstanding amounts owed to third parties principally for services rendered in connection with the Company’s effort to identify a target business.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accrued expenses:

Accrued expenses are estimated costs incurred but not yet paid. At March 31, 2009, accrued expenses consist primarily of legal fees incurred in connection with the Company’s Merger Agreement discussed in Note 7.

Due to affiliate:

The due to affiliate balance includes $0.6 million due to GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of the Founding Stockholder, for certain acquisition costs paid on the Company’s behalf and $0.1 million for administrative fees due to GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P.

Income taxes:

The Company is taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal and state and local income tax purposes. It accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”.

Net income per share:

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed similar to basic net income per share, but includes the dilutive effect of shares issued pursuant to the Company’s outstanding warrants which are exercisable on the later of (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) 13 months after the consummation of the Company’s IPO.

Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Organization costs:

Organization costs consist principally of professional fees incurred in connection with the organization of the Company and have been expensed as incurred.

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

On June 29, 2007, the Company sold to the public 20,700,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $10.00. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock, $0.001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (“Warrant”).

Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 commencing the later of the completion of a Business Combination with a Target Business or 13 months from June 29, 2007 and expiring June 25, 2011, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation of the trust account. Holders of the Warrants must pay the exercise price in full upon exercise of the Warrants. The Warrants will be redeemable at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $14.25 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. The terms of the Warrants include, among other things, that (i) in no event will a Warrant holder be entitled to receive a net cash settlement of the Warrant, and (ii) the Warrants may expire unexercised and worthless if a prospectus relating to the common stock to be issued upon the exercise of the warrants is not current and an applicable registration statement is not effective prior to the expiration date of the Warrant, and as a result purchasers of our Units will have paid the full Unit purchase price solely for the share of common stock included in each Unit.

Note 4 — Related Party Transactions

The Company agreed to pay the underwriters in the IPO an underwriter discount of 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO. However, the underwriters have agreed that a portion of the underwriter discount equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds will not be payable unless and until the Company completes a Business Combination and have waived their right to receive such payment upon the Company’s liquidation if it is unable to complete a Business Combination. As of March 31, 2009, such amount is $6.2 million which is included as deferred underwriting discount on the balance sheet.

On November 7, 2006, the Founding Stockholder purchased 5,468,750 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Initial Founder’s Shares”) for an aggregate purchase of $25,000. Subsequent to the purchase of the Initial Founder’s Shares, our Founding Stockholder sold an aggregate of 82,032 of the Initial Founder’s Shares to three of our directors.

The Initial Founder’s Shares are identical to those included in the Units except that our Founding Stockholder and each transferee has agreed 1) that in connection with the stockholder vote required to approve the Company’s initial Business Combination, to vote the Initial Founder’s Shares in accordance with a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders and 2) to waive its right to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the Initial Founder’s Shares if a Business Combination is not consummated by June 25, 2009.

On November 7, 2006, the Founding Stockholder entered into a binding agreement to purchase an aggregate of 4,000,000 Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Warrant from the Company. The purchase was consummated on June 28, 2007. The Warrants are identical to the Warrants contained in the Units except that they are not redeemable for cash while held by the Founding Stockholder or its permitted transferees and the shares of common stock issued upon exercise of such Warrants by the Founding Stockholder or its permitted transferees will not be registered under the Securities Act but will be subject to certain resale registration rights. The Founding Stockholder has further agreed that it will not sell or transfer these Warrants until completion of a Business Combination, except in certain limited circumstances.

The Company has agreed to pay to GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of the Founding Stockholder, a total of $7,500 per month for office space and general and administrative services. Services commenced on June 25, 2007, the effective date of the IPO, and will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination, or (ii) the liquidation of the Company. For the period from October 26, 2006 (date of inception) to March 31, 2009 and for the period from January 1, 2009 to March 31, 2009, administrative fees totaled $157,500 and $22,500 respectively. As of March 31, 2009 the outstanding administrative fee payable totaled $67,500 and is included in due to affiliate on the balance sheet.

A recapitalization was effected on May 29, 2007, in which the Company purchased from the Founding Stockholder 1,692,968 of outstanding shares of common stock for retirement and a total of 25,782 of outstanding shares of common stock from three directors, in each case for the nominal consideration of $1.00. A 1-for-5 stock dividend was effected on June 25, 2007 for holders of record as of June 24, 2007, as described in Note 6.

As of March 31, 2009, the Company had reimbursed GSCP (NJ) Holdings, L.P., a total of $833,847 of which $386,943 was for IPO related expenses paid on the Company’s behalf and $446,904 was for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s efforts in identifying prospective target businesses and consummating an initial business combination.

Note 5 — Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Note 6 — Common Stock

As described in Note 4, a recapitalization was effected on May 29, 2007, in which the Company purchased for retirement from the Founding Stockholder 1,692,968 of outstanding shares of common stock and a total of 25,782 of outstanding shares of common stock from three directors, in each case for nominal consideration of $1.00.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

Note 6 — Common Stock (continued)

On June 25, 2007 the Board of Directors declared a stock dividend to stockholders of record on June 24, 2007. The stock dividend was paid on June 29, 2007. One share of Common stock was issued for each five outstanding shares of Common Stock. All references in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2006 and for the period from October 26, 2006 (date of inception) to March 31, 2009 to the number of shares of common stock have been retroactively restated to reflect this transaction. These transactions were effected to ensure that the shares included in the Units sold in the IPO represented approximately 80% of the Company’s outstanding share capital.

Note 7 — Business Combination

On May 9, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) among the Company, Holdings I, Holdings II, Merger Sub and Complete Energy Holdings, LLC (“Complete Energy”). The Company owns 100% of Holdings I, which owns 100% of Holdings II, which owns 100% of Merger Sub. Complete Energy owns and operates two natural gas-fired combined cycle power generation facilities, the 1,022 MW La Paloma generating facility and the 837 MW Batesville generating facility. The Merger Agreement provides for the Company to indirectly acquire Complete Energy by way of a merger of Merger Sub into Complete Energy, with Complete Energy being the surviving entity and thereby becoming an indirect subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

There can be no assurance that the Merger will be consummated or that any other initial Business Combination will be consummated.

Note 8 — Provision for Income Taxes

The Company is subject to U.S. Federal, state and local income and capital taxes. The components of the Company’s income tax provision by taxing jurisdiction for the period ended March 31, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008 are as follows:

	2009		2008
Current
Federal	$	—	$	142,381
State & Local		161,932		652,911
Current provision (benefit) for income taxes	$	161,932	$	795,292

Deferred
Federal	$	(1,245,096	)	$	1,700
State & Local		—			—
Deferred provision (benefit) for income taxes	$	(1,245,096	)	$	1,700

Total provision (benefit) for income taxes	$	(1,083,164	)	$	796,992

The Company’s effective tax rate of 22.92% and 74.38% for the period ended March 31, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively, differs from the federal statutory rate of 34.0% mainly due to certain differences including state and local income taxes and valuation allowances.

The Company is subject to state and local taxes based on capital as opposed to income. Such state and local taxes based on capital are included as part of the Company’s income tax provision and account for -2.26% and 40.22% of the Company’s effective rate of 22.92% and 74.38% for the period ended March 31, 2009 and for the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively.

The following is a reconciliation of the difference between the actual provision for income taxes and the provision computed by applying the federal statutory rate:

		2009		2008
U.S. Federal Statutory Rate		34.00%		34.00%
Increase/Decrease resulting from:
State and Local Income Taxes, net of Federal Benefits		-2.26%		40.22%

Meals and Entertainment	—		0.16%
Valuation Allowance		-8.82%		—

Effective Tax Rate		22.92%		74.38%

Note 8 — Provision for Income Taxes (continued)

FASB Statement No. 10 (“FAS 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes” prescribes an asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in different periods for income tax purposes than for financial statement reporting purposes. Deferred taxes reflect the temporary differences between the tax basis and financial statement carrying value of assets and liabilities. Provisions for deferred taxes are made in recognition of these temporary differences in accordance with the provisions of FAS 109. Significant deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) at March 31, 2009 consist of the following:

Deferred Tax Assets:
Organizational Costs	$	28,145
Deferred Acquisition Costs		2,060,584
Net Operating Loss		141,330
Deferred Tax Assets		2,230,059
Valuation Allowance		(963,287	)
Total Net Deferred Tax Assets	$	1,266,772

The Company has deferred tax assets of $2.2 million at March 31, 2009 related to book/tax differences with respect to amortization of organizational costs, deferred acquisition costs and net operating losses. As the Company has incurred a net operating loss for the period ended March 31, 2009 and does not believe that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize a future benefit with respect to all of its DTAs, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $963K resulting in net DTAs of $1.3 million.

The Company has previously paid approximately $1.3M in federal taxes and expects to realize a refund of $1.3M on the realization of its DTAs.

As the Company is currently subject to and expects to continue to be subject to state taxes based on capital as opposed to income, it does not expect to be able to utilize the deferred tax assets for state tax purposes. Accordingly included in the valuation allowance of $963K is a state valuation allowance of $411K.

ITEM. 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

GSC Acquisition Company is a blank check company formed on October 26, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or assets, which we refer to as our initial Business Combination. We consummated our initial public offering on June 29, 2007.

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues from operations to date. Our entire activity since inception has been to prepare for and consummate our IPO, to identify and investigate potential targets for a Business Combination and to negotiate the Merger Agreement and seek to consummate the Merger. We will not generate any operating revenues until consummation of a Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest and dividend income on cash and cash equivalents.

Net loss for the period from October 26, 2006 (date of inception) to March 31, 2009 was approximately $1.2 million, which consisted of $7.1 million of dividend income primarily from the trust account offset by $2.4 million of formation, general and operating costs, $4.6 million of acquisition costs and $1.2 million of provision for income taxes.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $3.6 million, which consisted of $13 of dividend income from the working capital account offset by $0.1 million of formation, general and operating costs, $4.6 million of acquisition costs and $1.1 million of provision for income tax benefit. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $0.6 million which consisted of $1.4 million of dividend income primarily from the trust account offset by $0.2 million of formation, general and operating costs and $0.5 million of provision for income tax. The primary factors that contributed to the $4.3 million decline in income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 were (1) no dividends were earned on the cash held in trust for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to a substantial decline in interest rates and (2) in accordance with FAS 141R, $4.5 million of acquisition costs directly related to the Merger Agreement with Complete Energy was expensed. The Company also recognized an income tax benefit of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to the $4.7 million loss before provision for income tax.

We have incurred substantial costs related to the merger agreement with Complete Energy. Through March 31, 2009, we expensed approximately $4.6 million of acquisition costs. As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at March 31, 2009 the Company had unrestricted cash of $74 and a total of $4.0 million in accrued expenses and accounts payable. These costs mainly relate to the pursuit of the Company’s acquisition plans and specifically the merger agreement with Complete Energy. There is no assurance that the Company will successfully complete a Business Combination with Complete Energy or any other target business by June 25, 2009. No additional funds may be released from the trust account prior to the consummation of our initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. As a result, the Company cannot assure that the cash available will be sufficient to cover expenses.

Business Combination with Complete Energy Holdings, LLC

On May 9, 2008, GSC Acquisition Company (“Company”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with, GSCAC Holdings I LLC (“Holdings I”), GSCAC Holdings II LLC (“Holdings II”), GSCAC Merger Sub LLC (“Merger Sub”) and Complete Energy Holdings, LLC (“Complete Energy”). The Company owns 100% of Holdings I, which owns 100% of Holdings II, which owns 100% of Merger Sub. Complete Energy owns and operates two natural gas-fired combined cycle power generation facilities, the 1,022 MW La Paloma generating facility and the 837 MW Batesville generating facility. The Merger Agreement provides for the Company to indirectly acquire Complete Energy by way of a merger of Merger Sub into Complete Energy, with Complete Energy being the surviving entity and thereby becoming an indirect subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). There can be no assurance that the Merger will be consummated or that any other initial Business Combination will be consummated.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have not 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A total of approximately $201.7 million, including $191.5 million of the net proceeds from the IPO, $4.0 million from the sale of warrants to the Founding Stockholder and $6.2 million of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions, was placed in trust, except for $50,000 that was made available to us for working capital needs. We expect that most of the proceeds held in the trust account will be used as consideration to pay the sellers of a target business or businesses with which we ultimately complete our initial Business Combination, if any, or to fund operations if we are able to consummate our initial Business Combination. We have used substantially all of the net proceeds of this IPO not held in the trust account to pay expenses in locating and acquiring a target business, including identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, and structuring, negotiating and signing the Merger Agreement. To the extent that shares of our capital stock or debt financing is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect an initial Business Combination, any proceeds remaining held in the trust account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be made available for general corporate purposes, including to finance the operations of the combined business. Should we decide to pursue a target business other than Complete Energy, we would expect to focus on potential target businesses with valuations greater than or equal to 80% of the amount held in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $6.2 million). We believe that the funds placed in trust, together with other funds, including from the issuance of additional equity and/or the issuance of debt, would support the acquisition of such a target business. Such debt securities could may include a long term debt facility, a high-yield notes offering or mezzanine debt financing, and depending upon the business of the target company, inventory, receivable or other secured asset-based financing. The need for and mix of additional equity and/or debt would depend on many factors. The proposed funding for any such Business Combination would be disclosed in the proxy statement relating to the required shareholder approval.

As of March 31, 2009, approximately $203.4 million was held in trust.


Net proceeds from our initial public offering and private placement of warrants placed in trust	$	195,485,000
Deferred underwriters’ discounts and commissions		6,210,000
Total interest received to date for investments held in trust account		7,054,691
Less total interest disbursed to us for working capital through March 31, 2009		(2,400,000	)
Less total taxes paid through March 31, 2009		(2,998,247	)

Total funds held in trust account at March 31, 2009	$	203,351,444

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, substantial costs related to our Merger Agreement. As of March 31, 2009, we had approximately $74 of unrestricted cash available for completing a merger with Complete Energy and for payment of approximately $4.7 million of current liabilities. As a result, we cannot assure you that the cash we have available will be sufficient to cover our expenses. Acquisition costs associated with the Merger Agreement were approximately $4.6 million as of March 31, 2009.

We may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial Business Combination, if any, or because we become obligated to convert into cash a significant number of shares of public stockholders voting against an initial Business Combination if any such vote is held, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Following our initial Business Combination, if any, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our working capital needs and satisfy our other obligations. While we have entered into discussions with GSC Group regarding its willingness to lend us money for working capital purposes, we have not entered into any agreement with the GSC Group, or anyone else, to provide loans to us, and before we may incur any indebtedness, Complete Energy’s consent is required under the terms of the Merger Agreement (or the Merger Agreement must be terminated). There can be no assurance that we will be able to arrange any loans, or if we do, that any such loans will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs. Our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, were prepared under the assumption that we will continue our operations as a going concern. Our registered independent accountants in their audit report have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Continued operations to consummate an initial Business Combination are dependent on our ability to meet our existing debt obligations and the financing or other capital required to do so may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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. $197.7 million of the net IPO proceeds (which includes $6.2 million of the proceeds attributable to the underwriters’ deferred discount from the IPO) has been placed in a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company as trustee. As of December 31, 2008, the balance of the trust account was $203.5 million. The proceeds held in trust will only be invested in U.S. government securities having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds which invest principally in either short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States having the highest rating from a recognized credit rating agency or tax exempt municipal bonds issued by governmental entities located within the United States or otherwise meeting the conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act.

Thus, we are currently subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on short-term government securities and other highly rated money-market instruments. We do not believe that the effect of other changes, such as foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or equity prices currently pose significant market risk for us. We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception. We do not currently expect to engage in any hedging activities.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Peter Frank, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting and Financial Officer as well as a Director, participated in this evaluation. Based upon that evaluation, Mr. Frank concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by the report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

As a result of the evaluation completed by Mr. Frank, we have concluded that there were no changes during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009 in our internal controls over financial reporting, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
