Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statement
| | | | |
1. | | Organization and Business Operations | | KBL Healthcare Acquisition Corp. III (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on January 9, 2007 as a blank check company whose objective is to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in the healthcare or healthcare-related industries. The condensed financial statements at September 30, 2007 and for the periods ended September 30, 2007 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal adjustments) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and for the period from January 9, 2007 (inception) through September 30, 2007, and its cash flows and changes in stockholder’s equity for the period from January 9, 2007 (inception) through September 30, 2007. Operating results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. The statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. All activity from January 9, 2007 (inception) through July 25, 2007 relates to the Company’s formation and initial public offering described below. Subsequent to July 25, 2007, the Company has been seeking a business combination with an operating business as described below. The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Offering”) was declared effective July 19, 2007. The Company consummated the Offering on July 25, 2007 and received net proceeds of approximately $127,731,000 (Note 2). The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of this Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of this Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination with an operating business in the healthcare or healthcare-related industries (“Business Combination”). Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. An amount of $133,930,000, including $4,140,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and the $2,075,000 proceeds of the Private Placement Warranty described in Note 2 is being held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested in United States “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 until the earlier of (i) the consummation of its first Business Combination and (ii) liquidation of the Company. 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, providers of financing, prospective target businesses 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. The Company’s Chairman of the Board, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Operating Officer have agreed that they will be liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors, providers of financing, service providers or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered to or contracted for or products sold to the Company. However, there can be no assurance that they will be able to satisfy those obligations. The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Additionally, up to an aggregate of $1,900,000 of interest earned on the Trust Account balance may be released to the Company to fund working capital requirements and tax obligations. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, is required to submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that stockholders owning 30% or more of the shares sold in the Offering vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated. All of the Company’s stockholders prior to the Offering, including all of the officers and directors of the Company (“Initial Stockholders”), have agreed to vote their 3,750,000 founding shares of common stock in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other stockholders of the Company (“Public Stockholders”) with respect to any Business Combination. After consummation of a Business Combination, these voting safeguards will no longer be applicable. With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated, any Public Stockholder who voted against the Business Combination may demand that the Company convert his or her 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 approximately 29.99% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all Public Stockholders may seek conversion of their shares in the event of a Business Combination. Therefore, a portion of the net proceeds of the offering (approximately 29.99% of the amount held in trust excluding the portion relating to the deferred underwriting fees) has been classified as common stock subject to possible conversion in the accompanying condensed balance sheet. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their per share interest in the Trust Account computed without regard to the shares held by Initial Stockholders. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for mandatory liquidation of the Company in the event that the Company does not consummate a business combination by July 19, 2009. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by such date, its corporate existence will cease and it will dissolve and liquidate for the purposes of winding up its affairs. In the event of liquidation, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Fund assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units sold in the Offering discussed in Note 2). 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 that Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under SFAS No. 107 “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” approximate their carrying amounts presented in the balance sheet at September 30, 2007. The Company accounts for derivative instruments, if any, in accordance with SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended (“SFAS 133”) which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. Deferred Income Taxes – Deferred income taxes are provided for the |

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statement
| | | | |
| | | | differences between bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Net Income Per Share – Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The effect of the 17,250,000 outstanding warrants included in the units issued in connection with the Offering and the 2,075,000 outstanding warrants issued in connection with the private placement has not been considered in the diluted income per share calculation since such warrants are contingently exercisable. Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. New Accounting Pronouncements – In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. A tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. The Company adopted FIN 48 upon its inception. Since the Company is a development stage company that began operations on January 9, 2007, there have been no audits of filed tax returns as of this time. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. |

2. | | Initial Public Offering | | On July 25, 2007, the Company sold 17,250,000 Units (including 2,250,000 units to cover over-allotments) in the Offering. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (“Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of |

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statement
| | | | |
| | | | common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing the later of the completion of a Business Combination and July 19, 2008 and expiring July 18, 2011. The Company may redeem the Warrants, at a price of $.01 per Warrant upon 30 days’ notice while the Warrants are exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. In accordance with the warrant agreement relating to the Warrants sold and issued in the Offering, the Company is only required to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the Warrants. 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. Additionally, in the event that a registration is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and 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 the warrant exercise. Consequently, the Warrants may expire unexercised and unredeemed. The Company paid the underwriters in the Offering an underwriting discount of 7% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. However, the underwriters have agreed that 3% ($4,140,000) of the underwriting discounts 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. In addition, the underwriters will forfeit a portion of this fee ($0.24 per share) to pay a portion of the amounts due to converting stockholders. |
| | |
3. | | Private Placement | | Certain of the Company’s officers, directors and special advisors purchased a total of 2,075,000 Warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”) at $1.00 per Warrant (for an aggregate purchase price of $2,075,000) privately from the Company. These purchases took place simultaneously with the Offering. All of the proceeds received from these purchases have been placed in the Trust Account. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants underlying the Units in the Offering except that if the Company calls the Warrants for redemption, the Private Placement Warrants may be exercisable on a “cashless basis,” at the holder’s option, so long as such securities are held by such purchaser or their affiliates. Furthermore, the purchasers have agreed that the Private Placement Warrants will not be sold or transferred by them until after the Company has completed a Business Combination. |

6. | | Commitments | | The Company presently occupies office space provided by an affiliate of three of the Initial Stockholders. Such affiliate has agreed that, until the Company consummates a Business Combination, it will make such office space, as well as certain office and secretarial services, available to the Company, as may be required by the Company from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay such affiliate $10,000 per month for such services commencing on the effective date of the Offering. The statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and the period from January 9, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2007 includes $23,871 of expense related to this agreement. Pursuant to letter agreements which the Initial Stockholders will enter with the Company and the underwriters, the Initial Stockholders will waive their right to receive distributions with respect to their founding shares upon the Company’s liquidation. The Initial Stockholders and the holders of the Private Placement Warrants (or underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights with respect to their founding shares or Private Placement Warrants (or underlying securities) pursuant to an agreement dated as of July 19, 2007. The holders of the majority of the founding shares are entitled to demand that the Company register these shares at any time commencing three months prior to the first anniversary of the consummation of a Business Combination. The holders of the Private Placement Warrants (or underlying securities) are entitled to demand that the Company register these securities at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders and holders of the Private Placement Warrants (or underlying securities) have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed after the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination. The Company entered into consulting agreements with two consultants on August 1, 2007 and August 29, 2007 to perform services through the later of July 20, 2009 if the Company has not announced an acquisition candidate within the initial 18 month period or January 20, 2008 if the Company has signed a letter of intent with a proposed acquisition candidate within the initial 18 month period. The Company is obligated to pay the consultants a combined fee of $33,750 per month plus expenses for consulting services and a success fee totaling $600,000 30 days after the closing of the initial Business Combination by the Company. |

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto contained in this report.
Forward Looking Statements
The statements discussed in this Report include forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Overview
We were formed on January 9, 2007 as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in the healthcare or healthcare-related industries. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our recently completed public offering, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, in effecting a business combination.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we had a net income of $563,987 derived from interest income of $912,692 offset by $13,968 for officer liability insurance, $71,940 for professional fees, $49,325 for travel and other expenses, $20,500 in Delaware franchise taxes, $149,258 in New York State and City income taxes, $10,587 for transfer agent and trustee fees, $23,871 in administrative fees and $9,256 for dues and subscriptions.
For the period from January 9, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2007, we had a net income of $558,751 derived from interest income of $912,836 offset by $13,968 for officer liability insurance, $75,891 for professional fees, $50,754 for travel and other expenses, $20,500 in Delaware franchise taxes, $149,258 in New York State and City income taxes, $10,587 for transfer agent and trustee fees, $23,871 in administrative fees and $9,256 for dues and subscriptions.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
We consummated our initial public offering on July 25, 2007. Gross proceeds from our initial public offering (including from our private placement of warrants and exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option) were $138,000,000. We incurred a total of $9,660,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $609,108 for other costs and expenses related to the offering and the over-allotment option. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds to us from the offering were approximately $131,871,000, of which $131,855,000 was deposited into the trust account. In addition, all of the proceeds from the private sale of the warrants were deposited into the trust fund, for a total of $133,930,000 held in trust (or approximately $7.76 per share sold in the offering). The remaining proceeds are available to be used by us to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions, tax payments and continuing general and administrative expenses. We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering 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. We believe we will have sufficient available funds outside of the trust fund to operate through July 19, 2009, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time.
We expect our primary liquidity requirements during this period to include $600,000 of expenses for legal, accounting and other third-party expenses attendant to the search for target businesses and to the due diligence investigations, structuring and negotiating of a business combination, $240,000 for the administrative fee payable to KBL Healthcare Management ($10,000 per month for 24 months), $100,000 of expenses in legal and accounting fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations, $50,000 of expenses for the due diligence and investigation of a target business performed by our officers, directors and existing stockholders and $1,010,000 for general working capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses, taxes and reserves, including approximately $140,000 for director and officer liability insurance premiums. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following this 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. We would only consummate such a financing simultaneously with the consummation of a business combination.
Commencing on July 25, 2007, we began incurring a fee from KBL Healthcare Management of $10,000 per month for providing us with office space and certain general and administrative services. Additionally, on January 5, 2007, Marlene Krauss advanced to us $100,000 for payment of offering expenses on our behalf. The loan was repaid following our initial public offering from the proceeds of the offering.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our chief executive officer and chief operating officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007. Based upon 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 operating 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.

Each Unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one warrant, each to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The units were sold at an offering price of $8.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $138,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we consummated the private sale of 2,075,000 warrants (“Insider Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating total proceeds of $2,075,000. Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. was the managing underwriter in the offering.

The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on July 19, 2007.
We paid a total of $9,660,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions. Of that total, $4,140,000 has been accrued and deferred and will not be payable unless and until the Company completes a Business Combination. In addition, we incurred approximately $609,108 for costs and expenses related to the offering.
After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds to us from the offering were approximately $131,871,000, of which $131,855,000 was deposited into the trust account and the remaining proceeds are available to be used to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. In addition, all of the proceeds from the private sale of the warrants were deposited into the Trust Fund, for a total of $133,930,000 (or approximately $7.76 per share sold in the offering).
