NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2008
(unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Global BPO Services Corp. (the “Company”), was incorporated in Delaware on June 26, 2007 as a blank check development stage company to acquire, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business combination (each a “Business Combination”) one or more domestic or international operating businesses in the business process outsourcing industry.
As of March 31, 2008, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through March 31, 2008 relates to the Company’s formation and the public offering as well as activities to identify a suitable business combination as described below.
The Company consummated its initial public offering (the “Offering”) which is discussed in Note 3. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Offering, 98.5% of the proceeds were deposited in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested only in “government securities” 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 a first Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of the Company. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, will submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that stockholders owning 30% or more of the shares issued in the Offering vote against the proposed Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated. The Company’s Founding Stockholders (as defined below) will not have such conversion rights with respect to any shares of common stock owned by them. All of the Company’s stockholders prior to the Offering, including all of the officers, including the Company’s former chief financial officer, directors and members of the strategic advisory council of the Company (“Founding Stockholders”), have agreed to vote their founding and open market purchases of 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, other than a Founding 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 proposed consummation of the 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 up to 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. For consolidated financial statements purposes the Company has presented the maximum potential payments to dissenting shareholders of $73,905,340 at March 31, 2008 as common stock subject to possible conversion in the accompanying balance sheet representing a maximum of 9,374,999 common shares that could elect to convert their shares and still have a transaction able to be consummated. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their per share interest in the Trust Account computed without regard to the shares held by the Founding Stockholders.
The Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for the Company’s common stock to have a par value of $0.001 per share and, on June 29, 2007, the Company issued 100 shares to its Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, President and Interim Chief Financial Officer. On July 9, 2007, the Company issued a further 8,984,274 shares to its Founding Stockholders for a combined total capital contribution of $50,000 for the two issuances. The Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation states that a mandatory dissolution of the Company and subsequent liquidation of the funds held in the Trust Account will occur in the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the date of the prospectus relating to the Offering. It also provides that 24 months from the date of the prospectus related to the Offering, the Company’s corporate existence will cease. Since the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised, 1,171,874 shares issued to the Founding Stockholders were redeemed on November 19, 2007 for $6,561. In the event of dissolution and 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 initial public offering price per share in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units offered in the Offering discussed in Note 3). The second amended and restated certificate of incorporation was filed on October 17, 2007 and authorizes 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 119,000,000 shares of common stock.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Global BPO Security Corporation. The Company has been formed as a special purpose acquisition company with the purpose to acquire a company operating in the business process outsourcing industry. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated 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 and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s policy is to limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution and place investments with financial institutions evaluated as being creditworthy, or in short-term money market funds which are exposed to minimal interest rate and credit risk.
Equipment
Equipment consists of computer equipment and is recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of three years. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
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. Deferred income taxes are not material as of March 31, 2008.
Deferred Transaction Costs
Costs related to proposed acquisitions are capitalized and will be expensed in the event the acquisition does not occur.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the period applicable to common stock by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.
Basic earnings 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 Company has issued 38,750,000 warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. In addition, the Company issued an option to purchase 1,562,500 units at $9.60 per unit to its underwriter in the Offering. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.20 per share. The shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and the underwriters’ unit purchase option have been excluded from the calculation of dilutive earning per share since the warrants and the underwriters’ unit purchase option are exercisable commencing the later of one year or the completion of a business combination and this contingency has not been resolved.
Basic net income per share subject to possible conversion is calculated by dividing accretion of the Trust Account relating to common stock subject to possible conversion by the 9,374,999 shares of common stock subject to possible conversion.
$3,250,000 of interest income, net of taxes payable, on all interest earned on the Trust Account may be first withdrawn for working capital purposes. As of March 31, 2008, the withdrawal limit for working capital has been met; therefore accretion to the trust account in the amount of $30,348 was allocated to common stockholders subject to possible conversion for purposes of computing earnings per share.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business combinations: (“SFAS No. 141R”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after an entity’s fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. Adoption is prospective and early adoption is not permitted. Adoption of SFAS No. 141R will not impact the Company’s accounting for business combinations closed prior to its adoption, but given the nature of the changes noted above, the Company expects its accounting for business combinations occurring subsequent to adoption will be significantly different than that applied following current accounting literature.
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS No. 160”). SFAS No. 160 amends ARB 151 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary by requiring all non-controlling interests in subsidiaries be reported in the same way, as equity in the financial statements and eliminates the diversity in accounting for transactions between an entity and non-controlling interests by requiring they be treated as equity transactions. SFAS No. 160 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on its results of operations and financial condition.
NOTE 3. PUBLIC OFFERING
In the Offering, the Company issued 31,250,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $8.00 per Unit. Proceeds from the Offering totaled approximately $231,245,000, which was net of approximately $18,505,000 in underwriting fees and other expenses related to the Offering and $250,000 in working capital. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s 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 $6.00 commencing the later of the consummation of a Business Combination with a target business or one year from the effective date of the Company’s registration statement relating to the Offering and expiring four years from October 17, 2007, the effective date of the Company’s registration statement. The Warrants will be redeemable at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days’ notice after the Warrants become exercisable, if, and only if, 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 three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption. The Company may not redeem the Warrants unless the Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants are covered by an effective registration statement from the beginning of the measurement period through the date fixed for the redemption. In no event will the registered holders of a Warrant be entitled to receive a net cash settlement, stock or other consideration in lieu of physical settlement in shares of the Company’s common stock.

Table of Contents
The Company also sold in a private placement immediately prior to the Offering 7,500,000 warrants for proceeds of $7,500,000 to certain of its Founding Stockholders. The founder warrants were purchased separately and not in combination with common stock in the form of units. The purchase price of the founder warrants has been added to the proceeds from the Offering to be held in the Trust Account pending the Company’s completion of one or more Business Combinations. If the Company does not complete one or more approved Business Combinations that meet the criteria described in the Offering, then the $7,500,000 purchase price of the founder warrants will become part of the amount payable to the Company’s Public Stockholders upon the liquidation of the Trust Account and the founder warrants will become worthless.
The founder warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to the Warrants sold in the Offering, except that (i) such founder warrants have been placed in escrow and will not be released before, except in limited circumstances, one year from the consummation of an approved Business Combination, (ii) such founder warrants will be non-redeemable as long as the Founding Stockholders hold them, (iii) such founder warrants are exercisable in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the warrants, (iv) such founder warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and (v) such founder warrants are being purchased pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and will become freely tradable only after they are registered pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed upon or prior to the consummation of the Offering. The transfer restriction does not apply to transfers made pursuant to registration or an exemption that are occasioned by operation of law or for estate planning purposes, while remaining in escrow.
The Company believes the purchase price of $1.00 per warrant for the private placement warrants represents the fair value of such warrants on the date of purchase and accordingly no compensation expense was recognized with respect to the issuance of the founder warrants.
The Company sold the Units issued in the Offering to its underwriters at a price per share equal to $7.44 (a discount of $0.56 per share), resulting in an aggregate underwriting discount to its underwriters of $17,500,000. The Company also sold to its underwriters, for $100, an option to purchase up to a total of 1,562,500 units. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those issued in the Offering, except that the warrants included in the option have an exercise price of $7.20 per share (120% of the exercise price of the warrants included in the units sold in the Offering). This option is exercisable at $9.60 per unit, commencing on the later of the consummation of a Business Combination and one year from October 17, 2007 and expiring four years from October 17, 2007. The option and the 1,562,500 units, the 1,562,500 shares of common stock and the 1,562,500 warrants underlying such units, and the 1,562,500 shares of common stock underlying such warrants, have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 2710(g)(1) of the NASD Conduct Rules. Additionally, the option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a one-year period (including the foregoing 180-day period) following the effective date of the registration statement except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the Offering and their bona fide officers or partners. The option and its underlying securities have been registered under the registration statement of which the Company’s final prospectus forms a part. The Company will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the option or the warrants underlying the option. The exercise price and number of units issuable upon exercise of the option may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below the exercise price of the warrants included in the option. The Company has determined, based upon a Black-Scholes model, that the fair value of the option on the date of sale was approximately $4.6 million using an expected life of four years, volatility of 48.84% and a risk-free interest rate of 3.98%. The expected volatility of approximately 48.84% was estimated by management based on an evaluation of the historical volatilities of public entities in the business process outsourcing industry. The Company had no trading history, and as a result it was not possible to value this option based on historical trades. Management believes that this volatility is a reasonable benchmark to use in estimating the value of this option. The actual volatility of this option will depend on many factors that cannot be precisely valued. The Company accounted for the fair value of the option as an expense of the public offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital.
NOTE 4. ISSUE OF FOUNDERS’ SHARES
In June and July 2007, the Company issued a total of 8,984,374 shares of common stock to its Founding Stockholders (which included 1,171,874 shares that were subject to redemption by the Company in the event that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised), some of whom are also officers and directors of the Company, for total cash proceeds of $50,000. Since the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised, the Company redeemed a total of 1,171,874 shares from its Founding Stockholders on November 17, 2007 at cost for $6,561.

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS
The Company utilizes certain administrative services and office space provided by Trillium Capital LLC, an entity affiliated with the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors Chief Executive Officer, President and Interim Chief Financial Officer. The Company commenced paying such affiliate $10,000 per month for such services commencing immediately following the Offering.
In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with the underwriters. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company was obligated to the underwriter for certain fees and expenses related to the Offering, including underwriters’ discounts of $17,500,000. The Company paid $10,000,000 of the underwriting discount upon closing of the Offering. The Company and the underwriters have agreed that payment of the balance of the underwriting discount of $7,500,000 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 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2008.
NOTE 6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157,Fair Value Measurement, or SFAS 157, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In accordance with the provisions of FSP No. FAS 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, the Company has elected to defer implementation of SFAS 157 as it relates to its non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis until January 1, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, this standard will have on its non-financial assets and liabilities.
The adoption of SFAS 157 to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually did not have an impact on the Company’s financial results.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability:
Description | March 31, 2008 | Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | ||||||||
Assets: | ||||||||||||
Cash equivalents | $ | 2,592,774 | $ | 2,592,774 | $ | — | $ | — | ||||
Cash and cash equivalents held in trust | 245,862,033 | 245,862,033 | — | — | ||||||||
Total | $ | 248,454,807 | $ | 248,454,807 | $ | — | $ | — | ||||
The fair values of the Company’s cash equivalents and cash and cash equivalents held in the trust account are determined through market, observable and corroborated sources.
The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for other current assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAX
Provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2008 consists of:
Current | |||
Federal | $ | 651,000 | |
State | 19,000 | ||
Total | $ | 670,000 | |
The Company’s effective tax rate of 35.8% approximates the federal statutory tax rate of 34% and 1.8% for state taxes, net of the federal benefit. Deferred income taxes for the period were not material.
NOTE 8. AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE STREAM HOLDINGS CORPORATION
On January 27, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Stream Holdings Corporation (“Stream”). The Company has agreed to pay $225,800,000 subject to certain adjustments for working capital, for 100% ownership of Stream. The purchase price will be paid (based upon Stream’s outstanding balances as of March 31, 2008) by a combination of the assumption or replacement of certain existing debt and capital leases totaling approximately $85,000,000, cash payments of approximately $126,300,000 and the issuance of approximately 1.8 million units, each consisting of a share of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to purchase a share of the Company’s common stock at a strike price of $6.00 per share, valued at $14,500,000 in the transaction. The purchase price is subject to increase based on the timing of the closing. On closing of the transaction, $7,500,000 of deferred underwriting fees from the Company’s Offering (see Note 3) due to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Robert W. Baird & Company will also be paid.
The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the holders of the majority of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company issued in the Offering (See Note 1). It is also subject to holders of less than 30% of the Company’s shares of common stock issued in the Offering electing to exercise their conversion rights. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company expects to change its name to Stream Global Services, Inc.
NOTE 9. BANK COMMITMENT LETTER
On February 11, 2008, the Company entered into a commitment letter with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) for $108,700,000 in debt financing in connection with its proposed acquisition of Stream. PNC has committed to provide $30,000,000 of the credit facility and to use its best efforts to syndicate the reminder to a combination of existing and new lenders, subject to various closing conditions including the Stream transaction described above. Of this financing, up to $100,000,000 would be a senior secured revolving credit facility under which borrowing availability will be based on, among other things, eligible accounts receivable of Stream. The credit facility will have a five year maturity from the closing of the proposed acquisition of Stream. In addition, PNC will provide to Stream a senior secured domestic term loan of up to $5,810,000 on a senior secured basis and a foreign term loan of up to $2,886,000 on a senior secured basis in connection with the transaction.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among others, (a) our expectations about possible business combinations, (b) our growth strategies, (c) our future financing plans, and (d) our anticipated needs for working capital. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “approximate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “budget,” “could,” “forecast,” “might,” “predict,” “shall” or “project,” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. These statements may be found in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and matters described in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the events anticipated in the forward-looking statements may or may not occur.
We were formed on June 26, 2007 to consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business combination with an operating business in the business process outsourcing industry. Our initial business combination must be with a business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of its net assets (excluding the amount held in the trust account representing a portion of our underwriters’ discount) at the time of the acquisition.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity for the three months ended March 31, 2008 has been to seek out potential acquisition targets following our initial public offering. During the three month period, we have received interest income of $2,129,597 from the funds held in trust from our initial public offering or IPO. In addition, we withdrew $840,456 from the trust account during the first quarter of 2008 related to income tax payments. We expect to utilize the interest income received from the trust account to be used for working capital purposes. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, our net income was $1,202,267. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we incurred expenses of $267,244, which consisted of general and administration costs (primarily legal and accounting fees, travel and other operating costs and fees paid to Trillium for certain administrative services, including facility rent, totaling $30,000). Our officers and directors do not receive any compensation from us until we have completed our initial business combination. We also provided a provision for income taxes of $670,000 related to our income during the three months.
On January 27, 2008, we entered into a merger agreement with Stream. We have agreed to pay $225.8 million, subject to certain adjustments for working capital, for 100% ownership of Stream.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On October 23, 2007, we completed our IPO of 31,250,000 units. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $6.00. As of March 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $248,454,807, of which $245,862,033 was held in trust. Interest from the trust of $3,250,000 has been paid to us as of March 31, 2008, for working capital purposes. As of March 31, 2008, we had $2,592,774 of available cash for working capital purposes. We believe our cash available for working capital will be sufficient to cover our working capital needs for the next twelve months and that the available funds from the trust account will provide sufficient funds to complete our efforts to effect an initial business combination with an operating business within the required 24 months from October 17, 2007.
We have entered into a commitment letter with Stream’s existing bank lender PNC for credit facilities totaling approximately $108,700,000 that would become effective upon the closing of the merger. PNC has committed to provide $30,000,000 of the financing and to use its best efforts to syndicate the remainder to a combination of existing and new lenders to Stream, subject to various closing conditions. Of this financing, up to $100,000,000 would be a senior secured revolving credit facility under which borrowing availability will be based on, among other things, Stream’s eligible accounts receivable. The balance of the financing would consist of a senior secured domestic term loan of up to $5,810,000 and a senior secured foreign term loan of up to $2,886,000. The financing facilities would have a five-year term from the date of the closing of the Stream transaction. Outstanding balances under the credit facility would bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from LIBOR plus 200 to 250 basis points and the term loans would bear interest at LIBOR plus 275 to 325 basis points based on the combined company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. The balance outstanding under Stream’s existing credit facility and term loans (approximately $72,400,000 at March 31, 2008) would be assumed as part of the new revolving credit and term debt facility. Assuming that we close the financing contemplated by the PNC commitment

letter and use a portion thereof to repay Stream’s outstanding bank debt and senior subordinated debt at the closing, we expect we will have approximately $120,000,000 of cash available at the closing for working capital, including to pay cash to stockholders who vote against the merger and elect to convert their shares into a pro rata share of the trust fund.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities other than a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space and general and administrative services payable to Trillium an entity affiliated with our chairman, chief executive officer, president and interim chief financial officer. We began incurring this fee on October 23, 2007, and will continue to incur this fee monthly at least until the completion of our initial business combination.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accrued at the statutory income tax rate. There are no significant deferred income taxes.
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 IPO held in the trust account may be invested by the trustee only 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. Given our limited risk in our exposure to government securities and money market funds, we do not view the interest rate risk to be significant.
Item 4T. | Controls and Procedures |
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and interim chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as March 31, 2008. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008, our chief executive officer and interim chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Table of Contents
No change in the our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
Our business is subject to numerous risks. We caution you that the following important factors, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf in filings with the SEC, press releases, communications with investors and oral statements. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. They may be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors mentioned in the discussion below will be important in determining future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.Information regarding risk factors appears in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” in Part I—Item 2 of this Form 10-Q and in Part I – Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds. |
Use of Proceeds
On October 23, 2007, we consummated our IPO of 31,250,000 units. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant entitling the holder to purchase from us one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.00. The units were sold at an offering price of $8.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $250,000,000, or approximately $231,245,000 in net proceeds after deducting approximately $18,505,000 in underwriting fees and offering expenses (such as legal, regulator, printing and accounting fees) and $250,000 in working capital. Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. acted as representative of the underwriters. The securities sold in the IPO were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-144447) that was declared effective on October 17, 2007.
Net proceeds of $246,300,000 from the private placement of our founder warrants and the IPO were deposited into a trust account at Banc of America LLC, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee, which amount included $7,500,000 of underwriters’ deferred discount. Up to $3,250,000 of the interest earned on the trust account (net of taxes payable on all interest income earned on the trust account) has been released to us to cover working capital requirements. None of the remaining net proceeds were paid, directly or indirectly, to directors, officers, persons owning 10% or more of our equity securities, or any of our other affiliates.
We incurred actual costs in connection with our IPO approximately as follows:
Initial Trustees’ and escrow agent fee | $ | 13,000 | |
Legal fees and expenses | 594,000 | ||
Printing and engraving expenses | 94,000 | ||
Accounting fees and expenses | 74,500 | ||
SEC registration fee | 16,000 | ||
FINRA filing fee | 53,000 | ||
AMEX listing fees and expenses | 70,000 | ||
Miscellaneous | 90,500 | ||
Total | $ | 1,005,000 | |
From October 17, 2007 through March 31, 2008, we incurred additional expenses of $456,465, which consists of director and officer insurance and other insurance, legal and accounting fees unrelated to our IPO, and general and administrative costs (including travel and costs related to searching for an acquisition target). We also incurred $52,633of expenses paid to Trillium, for our office space and administrative services through March 31, 2008. We incurred $203,424 for repayment of the notes payable and related
15
Table of Contents
interest to R. Scott Murray, Lloyd Linnell, Kevin T. O’Leary and Paul Joubert (certain of our founding stockholders), which loans were repaid in full, with interest, and cancelled. We also incurred $41,241 for the purchase of equipment and $1,422,929 related to deferred transaction costs for due diligence work and professional fees for our proposed acquisition of Stream. We also accrued an income tax provision of $1,430,000 for the period from October 17, 2007 to March 31, 2008.
As of March 31, 2008, the net remaining proceeds from the IPO and private placement of our founder warrants including interest earned on the net proceeds and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, the offering expenses and all other expenditures through March 31, 2008, were approximately $249,050,204, which consists of $2,592,774 of cash held outside the trust account and $245,862,033 held in the trust account and accrued interest of $595,397, that was transferred to the trust account after March 31, 2008.
Payments of expenses were to persons other than our directors or officers (or their associates), persons owning 10% or more of our equity securities, or our affiliates, except with respect to the repayment of the promissory notes on October 31, 2007.
