State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The Company is unable to file its Form 10-K on a timely basis without unreasonable effort or expense due to a combination of factors such as its limited operating history and its status as an accelerated filer.
(Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)
SEC 1344 (07-03)
The Company did not engage in any operations during the period ended December 31, 2006. Our activity since inception has been focused on preparing for and consummating our initial public offering and then identifying and investigating target businesses for a business combination.
Effective January 16, 2007, we completed our acquisition of Advanced Technology Systems, Inc. (“ATS”). At that time, our senior management changed and, for the first time, we had full-time employees. The activities surrounding the completion of the acquisition and related activities, including, for example, dealing with stockholders who voted against the acquisition and perfected their right to convert their shares to cash, making arrangements for a line of credit, and implementing a common stock repurchase program, as well as completing the preparation and audit of the financial statements of the Company and ATS, placed extraordinary demands on the Company’s new management.
Although the Company endeavored to prepare, complete the review of and file its Annual Report on Form 10-K on a timely basis, it was not able to complete all the necessary steps in time to satisfy the deadlines and requirements associated with accelerated filer status, which normally applies to much more established companies. The Company has also been required to complete its assessment of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Additional time is required for the Company to complete that assessment. Additionally, the Company is still in the process of providing information necessary for its independent auditor to complete its documentation and related audit procedures in connection with the audit of the financial information contained in the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

(2) | Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed ? If answer is no, identify report(s). |

| | | | | x Yes o No |

(3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? |
| | | | | |
| | | | | o Yes x No |
| | | | | |
| If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made. |
