NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Discussion of the Company’s Activities
Organization and activities - TransTech Services Partners Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 16, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other similar business combination (a “Business Combination”), one or more small to mid-market U.S. and/or European based operating companies engaged in the delivery of Information Technology and Information Technology Enabled Services, Business Process Outsourcing and/or Knowledge Process Outsourcing, whose operations are particularly suitable for operational and productivity improvements which would include leveraging delivery centers located in offshore countries, such as India (a “Target Business”).
The Company is considered to be a development stage company and as such the financial statements presented herein are presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7.
The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Offering”) was declared effective on May 23, 2007. The Company consummated the Offering on May 30, 2007 for net proceeds of approximately $33 million. On June 13, 2007 the Company’s underwriters’ exercised their over-allotment option for net proceeds of approximately $5.2 million. The Company’s management intends to apply substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering toward consummating a Business Combination. The initial Target Business must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of our net assets (excluding the amount held in the trust account representing a portion of the underwriters’ deferred discount (Note 6)) 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 approximately $7.88 per Unit sold in the Offering will be held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested in permitted United States government securities, of which, $0.27 per Unit will be paid to the underwriter upon the consummation of a Business Combination pro-rata with respect to those shares which stockholders do not exercise their conversion rights. 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. Approximately $800,000 of after tax interest earned on the monies held in the Trust Account and $100,000 transferred to the Company 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 (Note 6).
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. Stockholders that vote against such proposed Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights are, under certain conditions described below, entitled to convert their shares into a pro-rata distribution from the Trust Account (the “Conversion Right”). The actual per-share conversion price will be equal to the amount in the Trust Account (inclusive of any interest thereon) as of two business days prior to the proposed Business Combination less up to $279,310 to be waived by the underwriters related to the shares so converted, divided by the number of shares sold in the Offering, or approximately $7.61 per share calculated based on $7.88 per Unit held in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2007, less $0.27 per share to be waived by the underwriters related to the shares subject to possible conversion. As a result of the Conversion Right, $7,872,416 has been classified as common stock subject to possible conversion on the accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2007. The Company’s stockholders prior to the Offering (“Initial Stockholders”), have agreed to vote their 1,125,000 founding shares of common stock in accordance with the manner in which the majority of the shares of common stock offered in the Offering are voted by the Company’s public stockholders (“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 20% or more of the outstanding common stock do not vote against the Business Combination and do not exercise their Conversion Rights, the Business Combination may then be consummated.
If the Company does not execute a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for a Business Combination prior to 18 months from the date of the Offering, the Company’s board will convene, adopt and recommend to their stockholders a plan of dissolution and distribution and file a proxy statement with the SEC seeking stockholder approval for such plan. If, however, a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for a Business Combination has been executed prior to 18 months from the date of the Offering, the Company will abandon their plan of dissolution and distribution and seek the consummation of that Business Combination. If a proxy statement seeking the approval of the Company’s stockholders for that Business Combination has not been filed prior to 24 months from the date of the Offering, the Company’s board will convene, adopt and recommend to their stockholders a plan of dissolution and distribution and file a proxy statement with the SEC seeking stockholder approval for such plan. In the event there is no Business Combination within the 18 and 24-month deadlines (the “Target Business Combination Period”), the Company will dissolve and distribute to its Public Stockholders, in proportion to their respective equity interests, the amount held in the Trust Account, and any remaining net assets, after the distribution of the Trust Account. In the event of liquidation, the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering.
With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated, any Public Stockholder who voted against the Business Combination prior to such vote exercise their Conversion Right and their common shares would be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares. The per share conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock held by Public Stockholders at the consummation of the Offering. Accordingly, Public Stockholders holding less than 20% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all Public Stockholders may seek conversion of their shares in the event of a Business Combination. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their per share interest in the Trust Account computed without regard to the founding shares and the shares underlying the Insider Units (but not shares acquired in the Offering or in the secondary market) held by Initial Stockholders.
Note 2—Offering
In its initial public offering, effective May 23, 2007 (closed on May 30, 2007), the Company sold to the public 4,500,000 units (the “Units” or a “Unit”) at a price of $8.00 per Unit. Proceeds from the initial public offering totaled approximately $33 million, which was net of approximately $2 million in underwriting fees and other expenses due at closing and approximately $1 million of deferred underwriting fees. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant (a “Warrant”).
On June 13, 2007, the Company’s underwriters exercised their option to purchase 675,000 Units to cover over-allotments generating gross proceeds of $5.4 million, of which $5.2 million was placed in the Trust Account, net of $0.2 million additional underwriting fees for an aggregate $40.7 million held in the Trust Account.
The Company also sold to the Representatives, a purchase option to purchase up to a total of 281,250 additional Units (Note 8).
Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Statements - The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements at June 30, 2007 and for the periods ended June 30, 2007, have been prepared 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 period from inception (August 16, 2006) to December 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Form S-1/A, (File No. 333-138080). 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 only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The operating results for the periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period of any future year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents are deposits with financial institutions as well as short-term money market instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Investments - The Company’s restricted investment held in the Trust Fund at June 30, 2007 is invested in U.S. Government Securities. The Company recognized interest income of $158,939 from inception (August 16, 2006) to June 30, 2007, which is 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 cash equivalents. 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.
Net Income Per Share - Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.
Basic income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. The effect of the 5,175,000 outstanding warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering, the 1,191,667 outstanding warrants issued in connection with the private placement and the 281,250 units included in the underwriters’ purchase option, as described in Note 8, along with the warrants underling such units has not been considered in diluted income per share calculations since such securities are contingently exercisable. Therefore, basic and diluted income per share were the same for the period January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007, for the period April 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007 and from August 16, 2006 (inception) to June 30, 2007.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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 - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts and are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Note 4 —Notes Payable to Stockholders and Due to Affiliate
The Company issued an aggregate of $125,000 unsecured promissory notes to its sponsors in September 2006 (the “Notes”). The Company’s sponsors funded $75,000 of the Notes in cash directly to the Company and paid $50,000 directly to vendors on behalf of the Company. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum and are payable on the earlier of the consummation of the Offering or January 31, 2008. Due to the short term nature of the Notes, the fair value of the Notes approximate their carrying amount. The Notes and related interest was paid following the consummation of the Offering.
The Company had recorded a due to affiliate on the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2006 for certain registration costs paid by one of its sponsors. The amount due to affiliate was paid following the consummation of the Offering.
Note 5 — Income Taxes
A net income tax provision of $15,818 was recorded for the period January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate due to the decrease in the valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset. No provision for state and local income taxes has been made since the Company was formed as a vehicle to effect a Business Combination and, as a result does not conduct operations and is not engaged in a trade or business in any state.
Note 6 — Commitments
Administrative Fees
The Company is permitted to utilize $800,000 of after tax interest earned upon monies in the Trust Account in addition to $100,000 transferred to the Company upon consummation of the Offering for working capital purposes. The working capital will be used to pay for director and officer liability insurance premiums and general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and secretarial support, with the balance being held in reserve for other expenses, such as due diligence, legal, accounting, and other fees and expenses for structuring and negotiating Business Combinations, and deposits, down payments and/or funding of “no shop” provisions in connection with Business Combinations as well as for reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Initial Stockholders in connection with activities undertaken on the Company’s behalf.
The Company has agreed to pay an affiliate of one of its sponsors $7,500 per month commencing on May 23, 2007 for office, secretarial and administrative services. For the period January 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007, for the period April 1, 2007 to June 30, 2007 and for the period August 16, 2006 (inception) to June 30, 2007, $9,194 is included in general and administrative costs on the accompanying statements of operations.
Underwriting Agreement
In connection with the Offering, the Company has entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the underwriters in the Offering.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company was obligated to Cowen and Company, LLC and Maxim Group LLC (together the “Representatives”), the representatives of the underwriters, for certain fees and expenses related to the Offering, including underwriting discounts of $2,898,000. The Company paid $1,350,000 of the underwriting discounts upon closing of the Offering and $175,500 upon closing of the underwriters’ over-allotment exercise on June 13, 2007. The Company and the Representatives have agreed that payment of the underwriting discount of $1,372,500 will be deferred until consummation of the Business Combination. Accordingly, a deferred underwriting fee comprised of the deferred portion of the underwriting discount is included on the accompanying balance sheets at June 30, 2007.
Note 7 — 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 8 — Equity
Common Stock
On January 10, 2007, the Company effected a 3 for 4 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock.
On February 14, 2007 the Company effected a 0.972973 for 1 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock and amended the number of authorized shares of common stock to 20,918,920.
Pursuant to letter agreements with the Company and the Representatives in the Offering and the private placement offering, the Initial Stockholders have waived their right to receive distributions with respect to their founding shares and the shares underlying the Private Warrants as defined below (but not shares purchased in the Offering or in the secondary market) in the event of the Company’s liquidation.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed to surrender, without consideration, up to an aggregate of 99,973 of their shares of common stock to the Company for cancellation upon consummation of a Business Combination in the event Public Stockholders exercise their right to have the Company convert their shares for cash. Accordingly, for approximately every nine shares converted by Public Stockholders, the founders have agreed to surrender one share for cancellation.
Public Warrants
Each warrant sold in the Offering (a “Public Warrant”) is exercisable for one share of common stock. Except as set forth below, the Public Warrants entitle the holder to purchase shares at $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends and splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar events for a period commencing on the later of: (a) completion of the Business Combination and (b) one year from the effective date of the Offering of the Company’s securities, 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 $11.50 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.
Private Warrants
Prior to the closing of the Offering, the Company sold to one of its Initial Stockholders 1,191,667 warrants (“Private Warrants”) in a private placement, at a price of $1.20 per Private Warrant, for an aggregate of $1,430,000.
The Private Warrants are 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 Private Warrants, which will expire worthless.
As the proceeds from the exercise of the Public Warrants and Private 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.
Unit Purchase Option
The Unit Purchase Option and the warrants included in the Unit Purchase Option, are not subject to net cash settlement in the event the Company is unable to maintain an effective 1933 Act registration statement. The Company must use best efforts to file and maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for the securities issuable upon exercise of the Unit Purchase Option. Such warrants underlying the Unit Purchase Option are only exercisable to the extent the Company is able to maintain such effectiveness. The Unit Purchase Option (but not the underlying warrants), however, may be exercised by means of cashless exercise even in the absence of an effective registration statement for the underlying securities. If the holder of the Unit Purchase Option, or warrants underlying the Unit Purchase Option, does not, or is not able to, exercise the Unit Purchase Option or warrants underlying the Unit Purchase Option, as applicable, the Unit Purchase Option or underlying warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless.
The Company sold to the Representatives for $100, an option to purchase up to 281,250 units at $10.00 per unit (the “Unit Purchase Option” or the “UPO”). The Units issuable upon exercise of the UPO are identical to those offered by the Offering. The UPO commences on the later of the consummation of a Business Combination or 180-days from the date of the prospectus with respect to the Offering and expires three years from the date of the prospectus. The Company calculated the fair value of the UPO to be $694,687 ($2.47 per unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the UPO has been determined using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 50.02% (2) risk-free interest rate of 4.75% and (3) contractual life of 3 years. The expected volatility in the preceding sentence was calculated as an average of the volatilities of similar companies that trade on U.S. Stock Exchanges. In calculating volatility for the representative companies, the Company used daily historical volatilities for the period of time equal to the term of the option (3 years).
Registration Rights - Warrants and Unit Purchase Option
Warrants
In accordance with the Warrant Agreement related to the Public Warrants and the registration rights agreement associated with the Private Warrants (collectively the Public Warrants and Private Warrants are the “Warrants”), the Company will only be required to use its best efforts to register the Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and once effective to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement. The Company will not be 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 Private Warrants, the Company may satisfy its obligation by delivering unregistered shares of common stock. Additionally, in the event that a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of such Warrants shall not be entitled to exercise. In no event (whether in the case of a registration statement not being effective or otherwise) will the Company be required to net cash settle a Warrant 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
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 under “Risk Factors” (pages 14-32) in our final prospectus dated May 23, 2007 relating to the our initial public offering, and in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and footnotes thereto contained in this report.
We were formed on August 16, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other similar business combination, one or more small to mid-market U.S. and/or European based operating companies engaged in the delivery of Information Technology and Information Technology Enabled Services, Business Process Outsourcing and/or Knowledge Process Outsourcing, whose operations are particularly suitable for operational and productivity improvements which would include leveraging delivery centers located in offshore countries, such as India.
On May 30, 2007, we completed our initial public offering of 4,500,000 units at a price of $8.00 per unit. We received proceeds of approximately $33 million from our initial public offering, which was net of $2 million in underwriting fees and other expenses paid in cash at the closing and deferred underwriting fees. The deferred portion of the underwriting fees will be included in additional paid-in capital and will only be paid upon our consummation of a business combination. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant. Additionally, on June 13, 2007, our underwriters exercised their option to purchase 675,000 Units to cover over-allotments generating gross proceeds of $5.4 million, of which $5.2 million was placed in the Trust Account, net of $0.2 million additional underwriting fees.
The aggregate net proceeds of $40.7 million from our initial public offering and our underwriters’ over-allotment exercise have been placed in a trust account.
For a description of the proceeds generated in our initial public offering and a discussion of the use of such proceeds, we refer you to Note 1 of the financial statements included in our audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the period from inception (August 16, 2006) to December 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Form S-1/A, (File No. 333-138080).
Upon the closing of our initial public offering, we sold and issued an option, for $100, to the representative of the underwriters, to purchase up to 281,250 units, at an exercise price of $10.00 per unit. For a description of the representative’s purchase option, we refer you to Note 8 in our audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the period from inception (August 16, 2006) to December 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Form S-1/A.
We believe that we have sufficient available funds to complete our efforts to effect a business combination with an operating business.

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 and, if a suitable business target is not identified by us prior to the prescribed liquidation date of the trust account, we may not engage in, any substantive commercial business. Accordingly, we are not and, until such time as we consummate a business combination, we will not be, exposed to risks associated with foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other market-driven rates or prices. The net proceeds of our initial public offering held in the trust account have been invested only in Treasury Bills issued by the United States Government having a maturity of 180 days or less or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, Given our limited risk in our exposure to Treasury Bills and money market funds, we do not view the interest rate risk to be significant.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2007. Based on their evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our board of directors and management; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been 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
None.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (pages 14-32) declared effective by the SEC on May 23, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 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.
On May 28, 2007, we sold an aggregate of 1,191,667 warrants in a private placement to TSP, Ltd., one of our stockholders. The warrants were sold at a purchase price of $1.20 per warrant.

A total of $40,754,500 (or approximately $7.88 per unit) of the net proceeds from the initial public offering and private placement were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of our public stockholders.
