Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

1. Interim Financial Information

Prospect Acquisition Corp.’s (the “Company”) unaudited condensed interim financial statements as of September 30, 2009, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and for the period from July 9, 2007 (date of inception) through September 30, 2009, have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing date, November 6, 2009.

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the period ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2009. The December 31, 2008 balance sheet and the changes in stockholders’ equity through December 31, 2008 have been derived from those audited financial statements. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited financial statements are consistent with those described in the December 31, 2008 audited financial statements. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

On September 8, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (see Note 4). There is no assurance that we will successfully complete the merger by November 14, 2009. If we are unable to complete the merger or another business combination by November 14, 2009 we will be forced to liquidate. This factor and the decline in the remaining amount of cash available to be withdrawn from the trust account raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

2. Organization, Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on July 9, 2007, and is a blank check company formed for the purpose of acquiring control of, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more operating businesses or assets in the financial services industry (a “Business Combination”). All activity from July 9, 2007 (date of inception) through November 20, 2007 relates to the Company’s formation and its initial public offering described below. Since November 20, 2007, the Company has been searching for an acquisition target.

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (the “Offering”) was declared effective November 14, 2007. The Company consummated the Offering on November 20, 2007 and received gross proceeds of $250,000,000 and $5,250,000 from the sale of Sponsors’ Warrants on a private placement basis (see 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. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. An amount of $247,000,000 (or approximately $9.88 per unit) of the net proceeds of the Offering and the sale of the Sponsors’ Warrants (see Note 3) was deposited in a trust account (the “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 initial Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of the Company. At September 30, 2009, the Trust Account was invested in United States government securities and has been accounted for as a trading security. The placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company has sought and will seek to have all vendors, 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. A Company officer and

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

two initial stockholders have agreed that they will be personally liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for or products sold to the Company, subject to limited exceptions. 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) have been and will continue to be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Until the consummation of the initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company, proceeds held in the Trust Account will not be available for the Company’s use for any purpose, except there can be released to the Company from the Trust Account (i) interest income earned on the Trust Account balance to pay any taxes on such interest and (ii) interest income earned of up to $2.75 million on the Trust Account balance to fund the Company’s working capital requirements, provided that after such release there remains in the Trust Account a sufficient amount of interest income previously earned on the Trust Account balance to pay any due and unpaid taxes on income generated by the Trust Account.

Amounts placed in Trust	$	247,000,000
Interest income received	5,022,632
Amounts withdrawn for payment of federal & state taxes	(2,387,057		)
Amounts withdrawn for working capital	(1,933,699		)
Total held in Trust Account	$	247,701,876

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination with a target business or businesses, is required to submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that those persons that purchase securities in the Offering or thereafter (“Public 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 directors of the Company (the “Initial Stockholders”), have agreed to vote all of their founding shares of common stock in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders with respect to any Business Combination.

After consummation of a Business Combination, these voting safeguards will no longer apply.

With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated, any Public Stockholder who votes against the Business Combination may demand that the Company convert his or her shares into cash from the Trust Account. The per share conversion price will equal the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, before payment of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and including accrued interest, net of taxes on such interest and net of interest income on the Trust Account balance released to the Company as described above, calculated as of two business days prior to the proposed consummation of the initial Business Combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock sold in the Offering. Accordingly, Public Stockholders holding not more than 30% of the shares (minus one share) sold in the Offering 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 (net of the tax and working capital items described above) computed without regard to the shares held by Initial Stockholders.

Accordingly, a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering (29.99% of the amount placed in the Trust Account) has been classified as common stock subject to possible conversion and a portion of the interest earned on the Trust Account (29.99%), after deducting the amounts permitted to be utilized for tax obligations and working capital purposes, has been recorded as deferred interest in the accompanying financial statements.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was amended on November 14, 2007 to provide that the Company will continue in existence only until 24 months from the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Offering (the “Effective Date”), or November 14, 2009. If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by such date, its corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of liquidating and winding up its affairs. In the event of liquidation, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including assets in the Trust Account) will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units offered in the Offering discussed in Note 3) because of the expenses

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

of the Offering, the Company’s general and administrative expenses and the anticipated costs of seeking an initial Business Combination.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instrument, approximate their carrying amounts presented in the balance sheet based upon the short-term nature of the account at September 30, 2009.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. Under SFAS 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which permits a one-year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 with regard to non-financial assets and liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company adopted SFAS 157 for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008, except for the non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, which was adopted effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three FSP’s to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities. FSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS 157. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on securities. These three FSP’s are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the provisions of these FSP’s did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations

In June 2008, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-5, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock (“EITF 07-5”). EITF 07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature, is indexed to an entity’s own stock. EITF 07-5 was effective for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. There was no impact on the financial position or results of operations as a result of the adoption of this new guidance.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”) which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination 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 141R will have an impact to the Company for any acquisitions consummated by the Company.

In December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 may have a material impact to the Company with respect to any acquisitions consummated by the Company.

Prospect Acquisition Corp.

(a development stage company)

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 has not materially impacted the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles SFAS 162. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of the financial statements of non governmental entities that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP (the GAAP hierarchy). In July 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 168”). SFAS 168 supersedes SFAS 162. SFAS 168 will become the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 has not materially impacted the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

3. Initial Public Offering

On November 20, 2007, the Company sold 25,000,000 units (the “Units”) at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit. The Company granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 Units solely to cover over- allotments. Said option could have been exercised in whole or in part at any time before the 30th day after the Effective Date, and has expired without having been exercised by the underwriters.

Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will be exercisable on the later of the completion of the initial Business Combination and fifteen months from the Effective Date, provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available. The Warrants will expire five years from the Effective Date, unless earlier redeemed. The Company may call the Warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at any time after the Warrants become exercisable and there is an effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants available and current throughout the 30-day Redemption Period defined hereafter, upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day Redemption Period”) at a price of $0.01 per Warrant, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $14.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the Warrant holder. 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 from the date the warrants become exercisable until the warrants expire or are redeemed. 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 statement 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 settle the warrant exercise, whether by net cash settlement or otherwise. Consequently, the Warrants may expire unexercised and unredeemed (and therefore worthless), and, as a result, an investor in the Offering may effectively pay the full Unit price solely for the shares of common stock included in the Units.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

The Company entered into an agreement with the underwriters of the Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”). The Underwriting Agreement requires the Company to pay 3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering as an underwriting discount plus an additional 4% of the gross proceeds of the Offering only upon consummation of a Business Combination. The Company paid an underwriting discount of 3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering ($7.5 million) in connection with the consummation of the Offering and has placed 4% of the gross proceeds of the Offering ($10 million) in the Trust Account. The $10 million amount due to the underwriters has been classified as deferred underwriting commission on the accompanying balance sheets. The Company did not have to pay any discount related to the Sponsors’ Warrants sold on a private placement basis. The underwriters have waived their right to receive payment of the 4% of the gross proceeds of the Offering upon the Company’s liquidation if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination.

Pursuant to purchase agreements dated November 14, 2007, certain of the Initial Stockholders have purchased from the Company, in the aggregate, 5,250,000 warrants for $5,250,000 (the “Sponsors’ Warrants”). The purchase and issuance of the Sponsors’ Warrants occurred simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering on a private placement basis. All of the proceeds the Company received from these purchases were placed in the Trust Account. The Sponsors’ Warrants are identical to the Warrants included in the Units offered in the Offering except that the Sponsors’ Warrants (i) are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the original purchasers or their permitted transferees, (ii) are subject to certain transfer restrictions and will not be exercisable while they are subject to these transfer restrictions and (iii) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. The purchase price of the Sponsors’ Warrants has been determined to be the fair value of such warrants as of the purchase date.

The Initial Stockholders have waived their right to receive a liquidation distribution with respect to their founding shares upon the Company’s liquidation if it is unable to complete a Business Combination.

4. Proposed Business Combination

On September 8, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, KW Merger Sub Corp., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. (“Kennedy-Wilson”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge (the “Merger”) with and into Kennedy-Wilson, with Kennedy-Wilson continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of October 22, 2009 and Amendment No. 2, dated as of October 26, 2009 (the “Merger Agreement”). See Note 10, Subsequent Events, for the amended terms of the Merger Agreement.

On October 30, 2009, the Company commenced its mailing of the definitive proxy statements to Prospect stockholders and warrant holders, and will hold each of the special meeting of stockholders and the special meeting of warrant holders on November 13, 2009, to vote upon the proposed business combination and the matters associated therewith.

5. Fair Value Measurement

As discussed in Note 2, the Company adopted SFAS 157. SFAS 157 requires new disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values.

SFAS 157 also requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

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

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

In determining the appropriate levels in which to categorize its assets and liabilities, the Company performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to SFAS 157. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3.

The Company currently does not have non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

6. Related Party Transactions

On December 31, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment to its Administrative Services Agreement (the “Amendment”) with LLM Capital Partners (an entity affiliated with Patrick Landers, the Company’s President and one of its directors) and Teleos Management, L.L.C. (an entity affiliated with Daniel Gressel, one of the Company’s directors). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the Company will continue to receive certain general and administrative services from LLM Capital Partners and Teleos Management, L.L.C., until November 14, 2009. The Amendment also provides that the Company will no longer require (i) the use of the office space situated at 695 East Main Street, Stamford, Connecticut or (ii) certain of the general and administrative services previously provided to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement. As a result of the Amendment, the Company’s total monthly payment was reduced from $7,500 to $6,805 ($4,083.15 per month for Teleos Management, L.L.C. and $2,722.10 per month for LLM Capital Partners). The accompanying statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and for the period from July 9, 2007 (date of inception) through September 30, 2009 includes $20,416, $61,247, $22,500, $67,500 and $163,047, respectively, of expense relating to the Amendment and the Administrative Services Agreement.

7. Commitments

The Initial Stockholders and holders of the Sponsors’ Warrants (or underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights with respect to their founding shares or Sponsors’ Warrants (or underlying securities), as the case may be, pursuant to an agreement dated November 14, 2007. In addition, the Initial Stockholders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed by the Company generally commencing nine months after the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, and the holders of the Sponsors’ Warrants (or underlying securities) have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed after the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination.

8. Capital Stock

The Company’s original Certificate of Incorporation authorized the Company to issue 6,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. In October, 2007, the Company’s certificate of incorporation was amended to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 6,000,000 shares to 8,000,000 shares. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation was amended on November 14, 2007 to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 72,000,000. In addition, the Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

On July 18, 2007, the Company issued 4,312,500 shares of common stock to the founders for an aggregate of $25,000 in cash, at a purchase price of approximately $0.006 per share. In October, 2007, the aggregate outstanding 4,312,500 shares of common stock were increased to 7,187,500 shares of common stock as a result of a 5-for-3 stock split declared by our board of directors. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares of stock have been retroactively restated to reflect these transactions.

In accordance with the terms of the Offering, with the expiration of the underwriters’ option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 Units solely to cover over-allotments, in December 2007, the Company repurchased 937,500 shares of common stock from the Initial Stockholders at a price of $0.0001 per share.

9. Legal

There is no material litigation currently pending against the Company or any member of its management team in their capacity as such.

10. Subsequent Events

On September 8, 2009, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement, as amended on October 22, 2009 and October 26, 2009, by and among the Company, Merger Sub and Kennedy-Wilson, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Kennedy-Wilson, with Kennedy-Wilson continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, common stockholders of Kennedy-Wilson will receive as consideration 3.8031 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Kennedy-Wilson common stock outstanding and preferred stockholders of Kennedy-Wilson will receive as consideration 105.6412 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of preferred outstanding, for an aggregate consideration of 26 million shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, up to 2.475 million restricted shares of the Company’s common stock will be issued to management of Kennedy-Wilson pursuant to an equity compensation plan (the “2009 Plan”) adopted by the Company and submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval.

Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company’s founders will forfeit 4,750,000 of their founders’ shares. Following the transaction, assuming 29.99% of the Company’s stockholders exercise their conversion rights, the Company’s current stockholders will own 39.9% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, current common and preferred stockholders of Kennedy-Wilson will own approximately 54.6%, and the other new stockholders of the Company (including recipients of awards under the 2009 Plan) will own approximately 5.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

As a condition to the closing of the Merger, holders of the Company’s warrants must approve an amendment (the “Warrant Amendment”) to the current warrant agreement that governs all of the Company’s warrants (the “Prospect Warrants”), each of which is exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock. The Warrant Amendment will provide that, at the closing of the Merger, each holder of warrants issued in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Warrants”) must elect either: (i) to have the Public Warrant cashed out by the Company for $0.55 in cash per Public Warrant, or (ii) to continue to hold his, her or its Public Warrant, which will be amended to extend the warrant termination date to 2013 from 2012, increase the exercise price to $12.50 from $7.50 and increase the redemption price to $19.50 from $14.50. At least 12.5 million Public Warrants must be redeemed for cash. In the event that holders in excess of 50% or 12,500,000 (the “Warrant Limit”) of the Public Warrants elect to receive an amended warrant, a pro rata portion of the Public Warrants and the Sponsors’ Warrants, totaling such excess over the Warrant Limit, will automatically be converted into the right to receive a cash amount of $0.55 per warrant. In addition, the Warrant Amendment will amend the terms of the Sponsors’ Warrants to extend the warrant termination date to 2013 from 2012, increase the exercise price to $12.50 from $7.50 and increase the redemption price to $19.50 from $14.50. If the Merger is consummated, any holder of Public Warrants who votes against the approval of the Warrant Amendment or who makes no election will receive $0.55 for each of its Public Warrants.

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward looking statements. When used in this Form 10-Q, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in the Form 10-Q and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All subsequent written or oral forward looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.

Overview

We were formed on July 9, 2007, to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more operating business in the financial services industry. Our initial business combination must be with a business or businesses whose collective fair market value is in excess of 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding the amount held in the trust account representing a portion of the underwriters’ discount) at the time of the initial business combination. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial 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, 2009, we had a net loss of $765,480 as compared to net income of $278,211 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the decrease in interest rates, resulting in a decrease in net interest income of $932,737, combined with an increase in professional fees of $1,011,613 and an increase in formation, operating, rent and office expenses of $18,564, partially offset by a decrease in state and federal taxes of $919,223.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we had a net loss of $1,022,864 as compared to net income of $1,546,396 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the decrease in interest rates, resulting in a decrease in net interest income of $3,420,173, combined with an increase in professional fees of $1,092,983 and an increase in formation, operating, rent and office expenses of $3,766, partially offset by a decrease in state and federal taxes of $1,947,662.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our net loss of $765,480 consisted of net interest income of $18,279 less costs attributable to organization, formation and general and administrative expenses, primarily professional fees, of $1,164,849 and a net benefit from federal income taxes of $381,090. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, our net income of $278,211 consisted of interest income of $951,016 less costs attributable to organization, formation and general and administrative expenses of $134,672, state taxes of $384,143 and a net provision for federal income taxes of $153,990.

For the period from July 9, 2007 (date of inception) through September 30, 2009, we had a net income of $1,103,549, consisting of net interest income of $4,948,658 less costs attributable to organization, formation and general and administrative expenses of $2,367,062, state taxes of $816,301 and a net provision for federal income taxes of $661,746.

Through September 30, 2009 we did not engage in any significant operations. Our activities from inception through September 30, 2009 were to prepare for and consummate our initial public offering and begin the identification of a suitable business combination candidate.

Table of Contents

Financial Condition and Liquidity

We consummated our initial public offering of 25,000,000 units on November 20, 2007. Gross proceeds from our initial public offering were $250,000,000. We paid a total of $7,500,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $705,004 for other costs and expenses related to the offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds including $5,250,000 from the sale of the sponsor warrants to us from the offering were $247,044,996, and an amount of $247,000,000, including $10,000,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, was deposited into a trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA, maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee. 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 account 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 account to operate through November 14, 2009, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time.

The following table reconciles the amount of net proceeds from our initial public offering and private placement to the amount held in the trust account at September 30, 2009:

Amounts placed in Trust Account	$	247,000,000
Interest income received	5,022,632
Amounts withdrawn for payment of federal & state taxes	(2,387,057		)
Amounts withdrawn for working capital	(1,933,699		)
Total held in Trust Account	$	247,701,876

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, less the payment due the underwriter for the deferred underwriting discount, to acquire a target business. However, as long as we consummate our initial business combination with one or more target businesses with a fair market value in excess of 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding the amount held in the trust account representing the underwriters’ deferred discount), we may use the assets in the trust account for any purpose we may choose. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used in whole or in part as consideration to consummate our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital, including director and officer compensation, change-in-control payments or payments to affiliates, or to finance the operations of the target business, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

We believe that the funds that were available to us outside of the trust account of $50,000 and up to $2,750,000 of the interest earned on the trust account will be sufficient to allow us to operate through November 14, 2009, assuming that our initial business combination is not consummated during that time. During this period, although we are not required to, we intend to use these funds to identify and evaluate prospective acquisition candidates, to perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, to travel to and from offices or similar locations of prospective target businesses, to select the target business to acquire and to structure, negotiate, and consummate our initial business combination.

We anticipate that we will incur approximately $1,300,000 of expenses for legal, accounting and other expenses attendant to the due diligence investigation, structuring and negotiating of our initial business combination, $180,000 in the aggregate for the administrative fee payable to Teleos Management, L.L.C. and LLM Capital Partners LLC (currently $4,083.15 and $2,722.10, respectively, per month) and office rent, $100,000 of expenses in legal and accounting fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations, and $1,220,000 for general working capital that can be used in connection with our acquisition plans. We do not believe that we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, we may need to raise additional funds through an offering of debt or equity securities if funds are required to consummate a business combination that is presented to us, although we have not entered into any such arrangements and have no current intention of doing so.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to our initial public offering and the identification of a target business. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. As the proceeds from our initial public offering held in the trust account have been invested in short term investments, our only market risk exposure relates to fluctuations in interest.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2009, $247,701,876 of the net proceeds of our initial public offering (excluding $6,219 of accrued interest) was held in the trust account for the purposes of consummating our initial business combination. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee, has invested the money held in the trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA.

We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception on July 9, 2007. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and related forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management on a timely basis to allow decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2009. Based upon that evaluation, management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there was 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

ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS

There has been no material changes in our risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2008.

ITEM 2 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On November 20, 2007, we closed our initial public offering of 25,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant, each to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The units from the initial public offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $250,000,000. Citigroup Global Markets Inc. acted as the sole bookrunning manager and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. acted as co-managers of the initial public offering. The securities sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333- 145110). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statement effective on November 14, 2007.

We paid a total of $7,500,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $705,004 for other costs and expenses related to the offering.

We also consummated the simultaneous private sale of 5,250,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating total proceeds of $5,250,000. The warrants were purchased by Flat Ridge Investments LLC, LLM Structured Equity Fund L.P., LLM Investors L.P. and Capital Management Systems, Inc. The warrants are identical to the Warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO except that the warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and, if we call the warrants for redemption, the warrants will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by these purchasers or their permitted transferees. The purchasers of the warrants have agreed that the warrants will not be sold or transferred by them until 30 days after we have completed a business combination.

After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds to us from the offering were $247,044,996, and an amount of $247,000,000, including $10,000,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, was deposited into the trust account.

As of September 30, 2009, we have paid an aggregate of $3,841,962 in expenditures, which have been paid out of the proceeds of our initial public offering not held in trust, the sale of shares of common stock to the initial stockholders and our withdrawal of $4,320,756 of interest earned on the funds held in trust, for the following purposes:

· payment of taxes;

· payment of premiums associated with our directors and officers liability insurance;

· expenses for due diligence and investigation of prospective target businesses;

· Legal and accounting fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations and general corporate matters; and

· miscellaneous expenses.

As of September 30, 2009, after giving effect to our initial public offering and our operations subsequent thereto, $247,701,876 (excluding $6,219 of accrued interest) was held in the trust account and we had $548,696 of unrestricted cash available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters.
