PART I

Item 1. Business.

Introduction

Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (the "Company", “HAQ”, “we", or "us") is a blank check company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 25, 2005. We were formed to acquire, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, one or more domestic or international assets or an operating business in the healthcare industry. To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, our initial public offering and the search for a suitable business combination. As of the date of this filing, we have not acquired any business operations and have no operations generating revenue.

Our executive offices are located at 2116 Financial Center, 666 Walnut Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50309 and our telephone number at that location is (515) 244-5746. We do not currently have a website and consequently do not make available materials we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will provide electronic or paper copies of such materials free of charge upon request.

Recent Developments

Initial Public Offering

A registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective on July 28, 2005. On August 3, 2005, we sold 9,000,000 units in the initial public offering. On August 16, 2005, we sold an additional 400,000 units pursuant to the overallotment option granted to the underwriters in our initial public offering. Each of our units consisted of one share of our common stock, $.0001 par value per share, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from us one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 on the later of (i) July 28, 2006 or (ii) the consummation of a business combination, and such warrants expire on the earlier of (i) July 27, 2009 or (ii) their redemption. We received gross proceeds of approximately $75,200,000 from our initial public offering (including exercise of the overallotment option) of which $67,928,000 were placed in trust.

On July 29, 2005, our units commenced trading on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "HAQ.U". On October 6, 2005, our units ceased trading and our common stock and warrants commenced separately trading on the American Stock Exchange under the symbols "HAQ" and "HAQ.WT", respectively. Our Common Stock and warrants continue to trade.

Acquisitions under 10b5-1 Plans of Our Executives

Pursuant to an agreement with the representative of the underwriters in our initial public offering, and subject to Rule 10b5-1 purchase plans, our officers acquired an aggregate of 354,900 of our warrants in open-market transactions during the fourth quarter of 2005. The purchases were as follows:

John Pappajohn
141,960 warrants
   
Derace L. Schaffer
141,960 warrants
   
Matthew P. Kinley
70,980 warrants
 
No purchases were made during fiscal year 2006.

Our Activities since Completion of our Initial Public Offering

During the period from the completion of our initial public offering through the execution of the Merger Agreement with PharmAthene Inc described below, we contacted those industry professionals who we believed could be of strategic assistance in sourcing potential deals for us, including investment bankers, business consultants, accountants and lawyers. Through the relationships of our board of directors, officers and directors and senior advisors, we also made contact with certain large national and international concerns to determine if they had any interest in divesting any of their existing businesses or operations. We also sought out owners and institutional owners of healthcare industry businesses and investment bankers or business brokerage companies that are active in the healthcare industry.

Merger Agreement with PharmAthene, Inc.

On January 19, 2007, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, PAI Acquisition Corp., also a Delaware corporation (“PAI”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with PharmAthene, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PharmAthene”), pursuant to which PAI will merge into PharmAthene and PharmAthene will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ.  Following consummation of the merger, it is anticipated that HAQ will change its name to PharmAthene, Inc.  Because HAQ has no other operating business, following the merger, PharmAthene will effectively become a public company.  PharmAthene is headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland, and has a subsidiary located in Montreal, Canada.

We have filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC with respect to the transaction with PharmAthene on February 9, 2007. As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-K, the final proxy statement has not been completed. We have summarized the terms of the transaction below. Investors are urged to review the preliminary proxy statement and final proxy statement, when completed, in their entirety. A more complete description of the transactions described above, including exhibits related thereto such as the Merger Agreement, is included in a Form 8-K filed on January 19, 2007, a Form 8-K/A filed on January 25, 2007, as well as the Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on February 9, 2007. We will be scheduling a stockholder meeting following completion of the proxy statement.

The proxy statement seeks approval of the following matters:

·  
the proposed merger with PharmAthene;

·  
the amendment to our  amended and restated certificate of incorporation to: (i) change our name from “Healthcare Acquisition Corp.” to “PharmAthene, Inc.”; (ii) remove certain provisions containing procedural and approval requirements applicable to us prior to the consummation of the business combination that will no longer be operative after the consummation of the merger; and (iii) grant to holders of convertible promissory notes issued in the merger the right to designate three members to our board of directors for so long as at least 30% of the original face value of such notes remain outstanding;

·  
the adoption of a Long-Term Incentive Plan pursuant to which we will reserve 3,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant; and

·  
such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
 
6

 
Under the terms of HAQ’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, because HAQ has entered into the Merger Agreement, HAQ now has until August 3, 2007 to complete its business combination, having satisfied the criteria for extension of time to complete a transaction set forth in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
 
The Merger Agreement provides that by virtue of the merger, and subject to certain adjustments as hereafter described, PharmAthene stockholders and noteholders will receive:
 
 
(i)
an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock;
     
 
(ii)
$12,500,000 in 8% convertible notes of HAQ in exchange for $11,800,000 of currently-outstanding 8% convertible PharmAthene notes, pursuant to a Note Exchange Agreement; and
     
 
(iii)
up to $10,000,000 in milestone payments (if certain conditions are met),

in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PharmAthene. HAQ is also assuming certain outstanding vested and unvested options and warrants, which shall be exchanged into options and warrants of HAQ on economically equivalent terms. The 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock issued as merger consideration will not increase due to the vesting, issuance or exercise of any options or warrants of PharmAthene or the assumption of the PharmAthene options and warrants and the actual number of shares of HAQ common stock ultimately issued may be less to the extent options and warrants are not exercised.  

A requisite majority of PharmAthene’s securityholders have consented to the merger and the merger agreement and have agreed among themselves to the allocation of the merger consideration. A form of the Note Exchange Agreement, to be executed at closing, and a form of the 8% Convertible Note, to be issued at closing, have been agreed upon and were filed as exhibits to the proxy statement filing. Further, the stockholders and note holders of PharmAthene have agreed to a lockup of the shares issuable to them in the merger under which lockup 50% of the shares will be released after six months and the remaining shares will be released after 12 months. HAQ has agreed to register the shares issuable to the PharmaAthen stockholders and note holders following the closing.

Overview of the Healthcare Industry      

The healthcare industry constitutes one of the largest segments of the United States economy. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, healthcare expenditures have increased from $245.8 billion in 1980 to a forecasted $2.12 trillion in 2006, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate, or CAGR, of 8.6%. Further, in 2003, approximately 64% of total healthcare expenditures were spent on the following categories: hospital care (31%), physician and clinical services (23%) and prescription drugs (10%). In 2003, healthcare expenditures totaled $1.7 trillion (or $5,800 per American) and accounted for 15.3% of Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, which outpaced overall economic growth by 3%. In the future, national health expenditures are projected to reach $3.6 trillion by 2014, representing a CAGR of 7.4% over the next ten years. Health spending is projected to reach 18.7% of GDP by 2014.

Funding for healthcare comes from public and private sources. Medicaid and Medicare programs were created in the mid 1960's. Medicare focuses on elderly coverage (over 65 years old) and the disabled of any age. Medicaid provides coverage for the poor and indigent population and is jointly funded by the Federal and State governments. In 2002, according to CMS, roughly 34% of healthcare payments came from Medicaid and Medicare. Private health insurance supports roughly 35% of total costs. As healthcare costs rise, the private sector is responding by shifting more of the cost of healthcare to employees by paying a smaller percent of healthcare premiums. The employee, usually in the form of a payroll deduction, must pay the amount of the premium not funded by the employer. However, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 40 million Americans were uninsured in 2003.

Our management believes that, as a result of continued growth, there will be numerous acquisition targets within the healthcare sector. Our management believes that this growth will be driven by the following factors:

EXPANDING AND AGING POPULATION. According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, in 2005 the American population was approximately 296 million and growing. Simultaneously, we are witnessing the "graying of America", whereby the elderly population is increasing more rapidly than the rest of the population and represents the largest users of healthcare services. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 12% of the U.S. population was over-65 in 2003 and was forecasted to account for roughly 20% of the population by 2030. By 2010, the number of people in the United States between the ages of 40 and 60 is expected to grow from roughly 58 million to more than 64 million.

EVOLVING MEDICAL TREATMENTS. Advances in technology have favorably impacted the development of new medical devices and treatments/therapies. The products are generally more effective and easier-to-use. Some of these breakthroughs have reduced hospital stays, costs and recovery periods. The continued advancement of technological breakthroughs should continue to boost services administered by healthcare providers.

INCREASED CONSUMER AWARENESS. In recent years, the publicity associated with new technological advances and new medical therapies has increased the number of patients visiting healthcare professionals to seek treatment for new and innovative therapies. Simultaneously, consumers have become more vocal due to rising costs and reduced access to physicians. Lastly, the rise in cosmetic procedures has emerged as one of the fastest growing healthcare segments. Since many cosmetic procedures require out-of-pocket expenditures, this rise may reflect a growing willingness by consumers to pay for certain procedures out of their discretionary funds. We believe that more active and aware consumers will continue to stimulate a wide variety of healthcare segments.

ACCESS TO CAPITAL. The venture capital community has traditionally embraced healthcare companies. Capital investments have allowed entities to grow and expand via consolidation or organic growth. Therefore, we believe there are many mature companies that may potentially serve as platforms for future acquisitions and growth. According to Dow Jones VentureSource, 2,142 healthcare companies raised venture capital financing rounds from 2001-2004. In that time period, 66 venture-backed healthcare companies completed initial public offerings and 194 venture-backed healthcare companies were acquired via merger and acquisition.

Our Management Team as of December 31, 2006

Mr. Pappajohn, our chairman and secretary, has been an active private equity investor in healthcare companies for more than 30 years and has served as a director of more than 40 public companies. Mr. Pappajohn has been a founder in several public healthcare companies such as Caremark Rx, Inc., Quantum Health Resources and Radiologix, Inc. Mr. Pappajohn and Dr. Schaffer, our vice chairman and chief executive officer, have worked together for more than fifteen years on a variety of healthcare companies and have co-founded Allion Healthcare, Inc, Patient Infosystems, Inc. and Radiologix all of which are public companies. In addition, Mr. Pappajohn and Dr. Schaffer have worked together on many private healthcare companies, such as Logisticare, Inc. and Source Medical Inc.

Acquisition Activities and Strategy During Fiscal 2006
 
As of December 31, 2006, we were not engaged in any substantive commercial business.

During fiscal 2006, target business candidates were brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers, venture capital funds, private equity funds, leveraged buyout funds, management buyout funds and other members of the financial community, who present solicited or unsolicited proposals. Our officers and directors as well as their affiliates also brought to our attention target business candidates. We did not, and will not, pay any of our existing officers, directors or our stockholders prior to our initial public offering or any entity with which they are affiliated any finder's fee or other compensation for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the consummation of a business combination. We will not enter into any business combinations with any affiliates of our initial stockholders, officers or directors.

Selection of a target business and structuring of a business combination

Subject to the requirement that our initial business combination must be with a target business with a fair market value that is at least 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition, our management has virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective target business. In evaluating a prospective target business, (including any such target business that may have international operations or assets) our management considered, among other factors, the following:

·  
financial condition and results of operation;

·  
growth potential;

·  
experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel;

·  
capital requirements;

·  
competitive position;

·  
barriers to entry into other industries;

·  
stage of development of the products, processes or services;
 
9

 
·  
degree of current or potential market acceptance of the products, processes or services;

·  
proprietary features and degree of intellectual property or other protection of the products, processes or services;

·  
regulatory environment of the industry; and

·  
costs associated with effecting the business combination.
 
Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a business combination is not ultimately completed will result in a loss to us and reduce the amount of capital available to otherwise complete a business combination. While we may pay fees or compensation to third parties for their efforts in introducing us to a potential target business, in no event, however, will we pay any of our officers, directors or persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering or any entity with which they are affiliated any finder's fee or other compensation for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the consummation of a business combination, other than the $7,500 payable monthly to Equity Dynamics, Inc. (an affiliate of our Chairman, Mr. Pappajohn, and our President, Mr. Kinley) for office space and certain general and administrative services (a prior arrangement with an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer, Derace Schaffer, M.D., pursuant to which we paid $1,500 a month for office space and certain general and administrative services, as a portion of the $7,500, was terminated on December 31, 2005). In addition, none of our officers, directors, special advisors or persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering will receive any finder's fee, consulting fees or any similar fees from any person or entity in connection with any business combination involving us other than any compensation or fees that may be received for any services provided following such business combination.

In connection with our proposed acquisition of PharmAthene, our board of directors considered a wide variety of factors in addition to those listed above. In light of the complexity of those factors, our board of directors, as a whole, did not consider it practicable to, nor did it attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors it considered in reaching its decision. Individual members of our board of directors may have given different weight to different factors.
 
Our board of directors considered the nature of PharmAthene’s business and assets, its current capitalization and resulting operating losses, the extent of the liabilities to be assumed and the factors below, in reaching its determination that the Merger is in the best interests of our stockholders and to approve the merger and enter into the Merger Agreement.
 
In considering the merger, our board of directors gave consideration to the following positive factors:
 
·  
PharmAthene has a strong presence and commitment to the development of products for use in the defense against agents of biological warfare. We expect the strong development and commercialization capabilities of PharmAthene together with its research capabilities will create an expanded biodefense platform with the possibility for multiple procurement stage products and near term revenue opportunities;
 
·  
PharmAthene is a leading company in the biodefense industry. The biodefense industry is a significant market in the U.S. and abroad due to the threat of biological warfare;
 
10

 
·  
the biodefense industry has been identified by the U.S. government as a priority evidenced by the enactment of Project Bioshield with funding targets of $5.6 billion over 10 years;
 
·  
PharmAthene has two leading products, Valortim and Protexia that may provide significant revenues to the combined company; and
 
·  
PharmAthene has an experienced management team including David P. Wright, Pharmathene’s Chief Executive Officer that has participated in the development and marketing of many successful drug launches.
 
·  
PharmAthene has been awarded U.S. government contracts;
 
·  
PharmAthene’s business strategy;
 
·  
PharmAthene’s financial results, including potential for revenue growth and operating margins;
 
·  
PharmAthene’s competitive position;
 
·  
the industry dynamics, including barriers to entry;
 
·  
the regulatory environment for PharmAthene;
 
·  
acquisition opportunities in the industry;
   
·  
the valuation of comparable companies;
   
·  
the experience of our management, in particular, Mr. Pappajohn and Dr. Schaffer, in building, consolidating and investing in similar businesses in the U.S. including relationships we could introduce to PharmAthene to potentially enhance its growth; and
   
·  
the involvement of certain of the stockholders and noteholders of PharmAthene, who we believe represent strong long term investors with experience in venture transactions and growth companies.
 
Fair market value of target business

The initial target business that we acquire must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition. The fair market value of such business is determined by our board of directors based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as actual and potential sales, earnings and cash flow and book value. We believe that the proposed acquisition of PharmAthene satisfies this standard.

Our board of directors has determined that the total aggregate purchase price for PharmAthene is at least equal to a fair market value of $110 million  (assuming our common stock is valued at $7.75 per share). This determination was based on an analysis of PharmAthene’s current and projected revenue and EBITDA, as compared to other publicly-traded businesses of a similar nature and the acquisition multiples for other similar transactions in the biodefense industry that have recently been publicly announced or completed. The range of the fair market value exceeds $56.6 million, which is 80% of our net asset value of approximately $70.7 million as of December 31, 2006.
 
11

 
If our board was unable to independently determine that the target business had a sufficient fair market value, we would have obtained an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. Any opinion, if obtained, would merely have stated that fair market value meets the 80% of net assets threshold. We are not required to obtain an opinion from an investment banking firm as to the fair market value if our board of directors independently determines that the target business has sufficient fair market value.

The terms of the proposed merger were determined based upon arms-length negotiations between HAQ and PharmAthene, who had no prior dealings. Under the circumstances, our board of directors believes that the total consideration to be paid appropriately reflects the fair market value of PharmAthene. In light of the financial background and experience of several members of our management and board of directors, our board also believes it is qualified to determine whether the merger meets this requirement. Since our board of directors has determined that the fair market value of the assets being purchased is substantially greater than 80% of our net assets, we have not sought or obtained an outside fairness or valuation advisor’s opinion with regard to as to whether the 80% test has been met.
  
Opportunity for stockholder approval of business combination

Prior to the completion of a business combination, we will submit the transaction to our stockholders for approval, even if the nature of the acquisition is such as would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable state law. In connection with seeking stockholder approval of a business combination, we will furnish our stockholders with proxy solicitation materials prepared in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which, among other matters, will include a description of the operations of the target business and certain required financial information regarding the business.

In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering, including all of our officers and directors, have agreed to vote their respective shares of common stock owned by them immediately prior to our initial public offering in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders. This voting arrangement does not apply to shares purchased following our initial public offering in the open market by such persons, and with respect to shares so acquired by such persons; such stockholders may vote against a proposed business combination and exercise their conversion rights in the event that the business combination transaction is approved. We will proceed with the business combination only if a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders are voted in favor of the business combination and public stockholders owning less than 20% of the shares sold in our initial public offering exercise their conversion rights. Voting against the business combination alone will not result in conversion of a stockholder's shares into a pro rata share of the trust fund. Such stockholder must have also exercised its conversion rights described below.

We have filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC with respect to the transaction with PharmAthene, and we plan to schedule a meeting of our stockholders to approve the merger and certain related transactions, as indicated above.

Conversion rights

At the time we seek stockholder approval of any business combination, we will offer each public stockholder the right to have such stockholder’s shares of common stock converted to cash if the stockholder votes against the business combination and the business combination is approved and completed. The actual per-share conversion price will be equal to the amount in the trust fund, inclusive of any interest (calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed business combination), divided by the number of shares sold in our initial public offering. Without taking into any account interest earned on the trust fund, the initial per-share conversion price would be $7.23 or $0.77 less than the per-unit offering price of $8.00. An eligible stockholder may request conversion at any time after the mailing to our stockholders of the proxy statement and prior to the vote taken with respect to a proposed business combination at a meeting held for that purpose, but the request will not be granted unless the stockholder votes against the business combination and the business combination is approved and completed. Any request for conversion, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date of the meeting. It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to stockholders entitled to convert their shares who elect conversion will be distributed promptly after completion of a business combination. Public stockholders who convert their stock into their share of the trust fund still have the right to exercise the warrants that they received as part of the units. We will not complete any business combination if public stockholders, owning 20% or more of the shares sold in our initial public offering, exercise their conversion rights.
 
12

 
Because the initial per share conversion price is $7.23 per share (plus any interest), which is lower than the $8.00 per unit price paid in our initial public offering and which may be lower than the market price of the common stock on the date of the conversion, there may be a disincentive on the part of public stockholders to exercise their conversion rights. The term public stockholders means the holders of common stock sold as part of the units in our initial public offering or in the open market.

Liquidation if no business combination

If we do not complete a business combination by August 3, 2007, we will be dissolved and will distribute to all of our public stockholders, in proportion to their respective equity interests, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust fund, inclusive of any interest, plus any remaining net assets. Our stockholders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to shares of common stock owned by them immediately prior to our initial public offering. There will be no distribution from the trust fund with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless.

If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust fund, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the trust fund, the initial per-share liquidation price would be $7.23 or $0.77 less than the per-unit initial public offering price of $8.00. The proceeds deposited in the trust fund could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which could be prior to the claims of our public stockholders. We cannot assure you that the actual per-share liquidation price will not be less than $7.23, plus interest, due to claims of creditors. Our chairman and all of our executive officers have agreed pursuant to agreements with us and Maxim Group LLC, the representative of the underwriters in our initial public offering, that, if we distribute the proceeds held in trust to our public stockholders, they will be personally liable under certain circumstances (for example, if a vendor does not waive any rights or claims to the trust fund) to pay debts and obligations to vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or products sold to us in excess of the net proceeds of our initial public offering not held in the trust account, to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims do not reduce the amount in the trust account. We cannot assure you, however, that they would be able to satisfy those obligations.

If we enter into either a letter of intent, an agreement in principle or a definitive agreement to complete a business combination prior to the expiration of 18 months after the consummation of our initial public offering, but are unable to complete the business combination within the 18-month period, then we will have an additional six months in which to complete the business combination contemplated by the letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement. The agreement with Pharmathene qualified us to extend the period in which we may consummate a business combination for this additional six-month period. If we are unable to do so by August 3, 2007, we will then liquidate. Upon notice from us, the trustee of the trust fund will commence liquidating the investments constituting the trust fund and will turn over the proceeds to our transfer agent for distribution to our public stockholders. We anticipate that our instruction to the trustee would be given promptly after the expiration of the 24-month period.
 
13

 
Our public stockholders shall be entitled to receive funds from the trust fund only in the event of our liquidation or if the stockholders seek to convert their respective shares into cash upon a business combination which the stockholder voted against and which is actually completed by us. In no other circumstances shall a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust fund. Voting against the business combination alone will not result in conversion of a stockholder's shares into a pro rata share of the trust fund. Such stockholder must have also exercised its conversion rights described above.

Available Information

We are subject to the information requirements of the Exchange Act. Therefore, we file periodic reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. Such reports, proxy statements and other information may be obtained by visiting the Public Reference Room of the SEC at 100 F Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully all of the material risks described below, which refer to our business and operations as of December 31, 2006, together with the other information contained in this annual report on Form 10-K before making a decision to invest in our securities. If any of the events described herein occur, our business, financial conditions, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR POTENTIAL BUSINESS

With respect to the proposed acquisition of PharmAthene, we refer you to the preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC (and final proxy statement once it has been approved) for a discussion of the material risks applicable to the business and operations of PharmAthene.

WE ARE A NEWLY FORMED COMPANY WITH NO OPERATING HISTORY AND, ACCORDINGLY, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY BASIS ON WHICH TO EVALUATE OUR ABILITY TO ACHIEVE OUR BUSINESS OBJECTIVE.

We are a recently formed company with no operating results to date. Since we do not have any operations or an operating history, you have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective, which is to acquire one or more domestic or international assets or an operating business in the healthcare industry. Other than researching prospective business combinations and conducting initial due diligence, neither we nor any of our agents or affiliates has yet taken any measure, directly or indirectly, to enter into a business combination. We will not generate any revenues or income (other than interest income on the proceeds of our initial public offering) until, at the earliest, after the consummation of a business combination.
 
14

 
IF WE ARE FORCED TO LIQUIDATE BEFORE A BUSINESS COMBINATION, OUR PUBLIC STOCKHOLDERS WILL RECEIVE LESS THAN $8.00 PER INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING PRICE UPON DISTRIBUTION OF THE TRUST FUND AND OUR WARRANTS WILL EXPIRE WORTHLESS.

If we are unable to complete a business combination and are forced to liquidate our assets, the per-share liquidation will be less than $8.00 because of the expenses of our initial public offering, our general and administrative expenses and the anticipated costs of seeking a business combination after our initial public offering. Furthermore, there will be no distribution with respect to our outstanding warrants and, accordingly, the warrants will expire worthless if we liquidate before the completion of a business combination.

BECAUSE THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPANIES WITH A BUSINESS PLAN SIMILAR TO OURS SEEKING TO EFFECTUATE A BUSINESS COMBINATION, IT MAY BE MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO COMPLETE A BUSINESS COMBINATION.

Based upon publicly available information as of the date of this filing, approximately 85 similarly structured blank check companies have completed initial public offerings since August 2003 and numerous others have filed registration statements. Of these companies, only 19 companies have consummated a business combination, while 24 other companies have announced they have entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination, but have not consummated such business combination. Accordingly, there are approximately 38 blank check companies with approximately $3.1 billion in trust that are seeking to carry out a business plan similar to our business plan. While some of those companies have specific industries that they must complete a business combination in, a number of them may consummate a business combination in any industry they choose. We may therefore be subject to competition from these and other companies seeking to consummate a business plan similar to ours which will, as a result, increase demand for privately-held companies to combine with companies structured similarly to ours. Further, the fact that only 19 such companies have completed a business combination and 24 such companies have entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination may be an indication that there are only a limited number of attractive target businesses available to such entities or that many privately-held target businesses may not be inclined to enter into business combinations with publicly held blank check companies like us. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete for an attractive business combination. Additionally, because of this competition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to effectuate a business combination within the required time periods. If we are unable to find a suitable target business within such time periods, we will be forced to liquidate.

IF THIRD PARTIES BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US, THE PROCEEDS HELD IN TRUST COULD BE REDUCED AND THE PER-SHARE LIQUIDATION PRICE RECEIVED BY STOCKHOLDERS WILL BE LESS THAN $7.23 PER SHARE.

Our placing of funds in trust may not protect those funds from third party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, prospective target businesses or other entities we engage execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public stockholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. Nor is there any guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Accordingly, the proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims which could take priority over the claims of our public stockholders and the initial public offering per-share liquidation price could be less than $7.23 per share held in the trust account, plus interest, due to claims of such creditors. If we are unable to complete a business combination and are forced to liquidate, our chairman and executive officers will be personally liable under certain circumstances (for example, if a vendor does not waive any rights or claims to the trust account) to ensure that the proceeds in the trust fund are not reduced by the claims of various vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or products sold to us, to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims do not reduce the amount in the trust fund. However, we cannot assure you that our executive officers will be able to satisfy those obligations.
 
15

 
WE MAY ISSUE SHARES OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK OR DEBT SECURITIES TO COMPLETE A BUSINESS COMBINATION, WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE EQUITY INTEREST OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS AND LIKELY CAUSE A CHANGE IN CONTROL OF OUR OWNERSHIP.

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share. As of the date hereof, there are 78,500,000 authorized but un-issued shares of our common stock available for issuance (after appropriate reservation for the issuance of shares upon full exercise of our outstanding warrants and the underwriters warrants) and all of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock available for issuance. We will issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock to complete our proposed business combination with PharmAthene. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock or any number of shares of our preferred stock:

·  
may significantly reduce the equity interest of current investors in our securities;

·  
will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and most likely also result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and

·  
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

Additionally, the healthcare industry is capital intensive, traditionally using substantial amounts of indebtedness to finance acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital needs. If we finance the purchase of assets or operations through the issuance of debt securities, it could result in:

·  
default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a business combination were insufficient to pay our debt obligations;

·  
acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contained covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and any such covenant were breached without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

·  
our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security was payable on demand; and our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contained covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security was outstanding.

16


OUR ABILITY TO EFFECT A BUSINESS COMBINATION AND TO EXECUTE ANY POTENTIAL BUSINESS PLAN AFTERWARDS WILL BE TOTALLY DEPENDENT UPON THE EFFORTS OF OUR KEY PERSONNEL, SOME OF WHOM MAY JOIN US FOLLOWING A BUSINESS COMBINATION AND WHOM WE WOULD HAVE ONLY A LIMITED ABILITY TO EVALUATE.

Our ability to effect a business combination will be totally dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel. The future role of our key personnel following a business combination, however, cannot presently be fully ascertained. Although we expect most of our management and other key personnel, particularly our chairman of the board, vice chairman and president to each remain associated with us following a business combination, we may employ other personnel following the business combination. While we intend to closely scrutinize any additional individuals we engage after a business combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment of these individuals will prove to be correct. Moreover, our current management will only be able to remain with the combined company after the consummation of a business combination if they are able to negotiate the same as part of any such combination. If we acquired a target business in an all-cash transaction, it would be more likely that current members of management would remain with us if they chose to do so. If a business combination were structured as a merger whereby the stockholders of the target company were to control the combined company following a business combination, it may be less likely that management would remain with the combined company unless it was negotiated as part of the transaction via the acquisition agreement, an employment agreement or other arrangement. In making the determination as to whether current management should remain with us following the business combination, management will analyze the experience and skill set of the target business' management and negotiate as part of the business combination that certain members of current management remain if it is believed that it is in the best interests of the combined company post-business combination. If management negotiates to be retained post-business combination as a condition to any potential business combination, such negotiations may result in a conflict of interest.

OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY ALLOCATE THEIR TIME TO OTHER BUSINESSES THEREBY CAUSING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN THEIR DETERMINATION AS TO HOW MUCH TIME TO DEVOTE TO OUR AFFAIRS. THIS COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR ABILITY TO CONSUMMATE A BUSINESS COMBINATION.

Our officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and other businesses. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination. Each of our officers are engaged in several other business endeavors and are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs.

If our officers' other business affairs require them to devote more substantial amounts of time to such affairs, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs and could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate a business combination.

OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS ARE CURRENTLY AFFILIATED WITH ENTITIES ENGAGED IN BUSINESS ACTIVITIES SIMILAR TO THOSE INTENDED TO BE CONDUCTED BY US AND ACCORDINGLY, MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN DETERMINING WHICH ENTITY A PARTICULAR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY SHOULD BE PRESENTED TO.

Our officers and directors may in the future become affiliated with other entities, including other “blank check” companies, engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us. Additionally, our officers and directors may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are or may be affiliated. Further, certain of our officers and directors are currently involved in other businesses that are similar to the business activities that we intend to conduct following a business combination. Due to these existing affiliations, they have prior fiduciary obligations to present potential business opportunities to those entities prior to presenting them to us which could cause additional conflicts of interest. Accordingly, they have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
 
17

 
ALL OF OUR DIRECTORS OWN SHARES OF OUR SECURITIES WHICH WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN LIQUIDATION DISTRIBUTIONS AND THEREFORE THEY MAY HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN DETERMINING WHETHER A PARTICULAR TARGET BUSINESS IS APPROPRIATE FOR A BUSINESS COMBINATION.

All of our directors own shares of common stock in our company which were issued prior to our initial public offering, but have waived their right to receive distributions with respect to those shares upon our liquidation if we are unable to complete a business combination. Additionally, our chairman, chief executive officer, president and one of our directors have purchased an aggregate of 366,900 warrants on the open market. Other than with respect to 12,000 warrants purchased by one of our directors, these warrants will not be sold until the consummation of a business combination. The shares and warrants owned by these directors will be worthless if we do not consummate a business combination. The personal and financial interests of these directors may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination in a timely manner. Consequently, these directors' discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business combination are appropriate and in our stockholders' best interest.

PERSONS WHO WERE STOCKHOLDERS PRIOR TO OUR INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING WILL NOT RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR ANY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES INCURRED BY THEM TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH EXPENSES EXCEED THE AMOUNT IN THE TRUST FUND UNLESS THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS CONSUMMATED AND THEREFORE THEY MAY HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

Persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount in the trust fund unless the business combination is consummated and there are sufficient funds available for reimbursement after such consummation. The financial interest of such persons could influence their motivation in selecting a target business and thus, there may be a conflict of interest when determining whether a particular business combination is in the stockholders' best interest.

IT IS PROBABLE THAT WE WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO COMPLETE ONE BUSINESS COMBINATION, WHICH WILL CAUSE US TO BE SOLELY DEPENDENT ON A SINGLE BUSINESS.

The gross proceeds from our initial public offering, including the exercise of a portion of the overallotment option were approximately $75,200,000, of which $67,928,000 was placed in trust for use in consummating a business combination. Our initial business combination must be with a business with a fair market value of at least 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition. Consequently, it is probable that we will have the ability to complete only a single business combination, although this may entail the simultaneous acquisitions of several assets or closely related operating businesses at the same time. Accordingly, the prospects for our ability to effect our business strategy may be:
 
18

 
·  
solely dependent upon the performance of a single business; or

·  
dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.

In this case, we will not be able to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry. Furthermore, since our business combination may entail the simultaneous acquisitions of several assets or operating businesses at the same time and may be with different sellers, we will need to convince such sellers to agree that the purchase of their assets or businesses is contingent upon the simultaneous closings of the other acquisitions.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, IF REQUIRED, TO COMPLETE A BUSINESS COMBINATION OR TO FUND THE OPERATIONS AND GROWTH OF THE TARGET BUSINESS, WHICH COULD COMPEL US TO RESTRUCTURE THE TRANSACTION OR ABANDON A PARTICULAR BUSINESS COMBINATION.

Although we believe that the net proceeds of our initial public offering will be sufficient to allow us to consummate a business combination, in as much as we have not yet identified any prospective target business, we cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular transaction. If the net proceeds of our initial public offering prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of the business combination or the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, or because we become obligated to convert into cash a significant number of shares from dissenting stockholders, we will be required to seek additional financing. We cannot assure you that such financing would be available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed to consummate a particular business combination, we would be compelled to restructure the transaction or abandon that particular business combination and seek an alternative target business candidate. In addition, if we consummate a business combination, we may require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business. None of our officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after a business combination.

PERSONS WHO WERE STOCKHOLDERS PRIOR TO OUR INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING, INCLUDING OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, CONTROL A SUBSTANTIAL INTEREST IN US AND THUS MAY INFLUENCE CERTAIN ACTIONS REQUIRING STOCKHOLDER VOTE.

Upon consummation of our offering, persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering (including all of our officers and directors) collectively owned 19.3% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, not including an aggregate of 366,900 warrants purchased on the open market by our chairman, chief executive officer, president and one of our directors, which are not currently exercisable.  Other than with respect to 12,000 warrants purchased by one of our directors, these warrants cannot be sold until after consummation of a business combination.

Our board of directors is divided into two classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of two years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. It is unlikely that there will be an annual meeting of stockholders to elect new directors prior to the consummation of a business combination, in which case all of the current directors will continue in office at least until the consummation of the business combination. If there is an annual meeting, as a consequence of our "staggered" board of directors, initially only a minority of the board of directors will be considered for election and persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering, because of their ownership position, will have considerable influence regarding the outcome. Accordingly, such stockholders will continue to exert control at least until the consummation of a business combination. In addition, such stockholders and their affiliates and relatives are not prohibited from purchasing our securities in the open market. If they do, we cannot assure you that persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering will not have considerable influence upon the vote in connection with a business combination.
 
19

 
OUR OUTSTANDING WARRANTS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE MARKET PRICE OF COMMON STOCK AND MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO EFFECT A BUSINESS COMBINATION.

In connection with our initial public offering, as part of the units (including overallotments issued to the underwriters), we issued warrants to purchase 9,400,000 shares of common stock. To the extent we issue shares of common stock to effect a business combination, the potential for the issuance of substantial numbers of additional shares upon exercise of these warrants could make us a less attractive acquisition vehicle in the eyes of a target business as such securities, when exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and reduce the value of the shares issued to complete the business combination. Accordingly, our warrants may make it more difficult to effectuate a business combination or increase the cost of the target business. Additionally, the sale, or even the possibility of sale, of the shares underlying the warrants could have an adverse effect on the market price for our securities or on our ability to obtain future public financing. If and to the extent these warrants are exercised, you may experience dilution to your holdings.

IF PERSONS WHO WERE STOCKHOLDERS PRIOR TO OUR INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING EXERCISE THEIR REGISTRATION RIGHTS, IT MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE MARKET PRICE OUR COMMON STOCK AND THE EXISTENCE OF THESE RIGHTS MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO EFFECT A BUSINESS COMBINATION.

Persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering are entitled to require us to register the resale of their shares of common stock at any time after the date on which their shares are released from escrow, which, except in limited circumstances, will not be before August 3, 2009. If such stockholders exercise their registration rights with respect to all of their shares of common stock, then there will be an additional 2,250,000 shares of common stock eligible for trading in the public market. The presence of this additional number of shares of common stock eligible for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the existence of these rights may make it more difficult to effectuate a business combination or increase the cost of the target business, as the stockholders of the target business may be discouraged from entering into a business combination with us or will request a higher price for their securities as a result of these registration rights and the potential future effect their exercise may have on the trading market for our common stock.

THE AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGE MAY DELIST OUR SECURITIES FROM TRADING ON ITS EXCHANGE WHICH COULD LIMIT INVESTORS' ABILITY TO MAKE TRANSACTIONS IN OUR SECURITIES AND SUBJECT US TO ADDITIONAL TRADING RESTRICTIONS.

Our securities are listed on the American Stock Exchange, a national securities exchange. We cannot assure you that our securities will continue to be listed on the American Stock Exchange in the future prior to a business combination. Additionally, in connection with our business combination, it is likely that the American Stock Exchange may require us to file a new initial listing application and meet its initial listing requirements as opposed to its more lenient continued listing requirements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time.
 
20

 
If the American Stock Exchange de-lists our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another exchange or to have them quoted on NASDAQ, our securities could be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or "pink sheets". As a result, we could face significant material adverse consequences including:

·  
a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

·  
a determination that our common stock is a "penny stock" which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

·  
a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and

·  
a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as "covered securities". Since we will be listed on the American Stock Exchange, our securities will be covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies generally, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states.

IF OUR COMMON STOCK BECOMES SUBJECT TO THE SEC'S PENNY STOCK RULES, BROKER-DEALERS MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY IN COMPLETING CUSTOMER TRANSACTIONS AND TRADING ACTIVITY IN OUR SECURITIES MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

If at any time our securities are no longer listed on the American Stock Exchange or another exchange or quoted on NASDAQ and we have net tangible assets of $5,000,000 or less and our common stock has a market price per share of less than $5.00, transactions in our common stock may be subject to the "penny stock" rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:

·  
make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;
   
·  
receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale;

·  
provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in "penny stocks" and which describe the market for these "penny stocks" as well as a purchaser's legal remedies; and
 
21

 
·  
obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a "penny stock" can be completed.

If our common stock becomes subject to these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected. As a result, the market price of our securities may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our securities.

IF WE ARE DEEMED TO BE AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940, OUR ACTIVITIES MAY BE RESTRICTED WHICH, AMONG OTHER PROBLEMS, MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO COMPLETE A BUSINESS COMBINATION. SUCH RESTRICTIONS INCLUDE:

·  
restrictions on the nature of our investments; and

·  
restrictions on the issuance of securities.

In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:

·  
registration as an investment company;

·  
adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and

·  
reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations.

We do not believe that our anticipated principal activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act of 1940. To this end, the proceeds held in trust may only be invested by the trust agent in “government securities” with specific maturity dates, or in money market funds meeting specific requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, we intend to meet the requirements for the exemption provided in Rule 3a-1 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. If we were deemed to be subject to the act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expense that we have not allotted for.

OUR DIRECTORS MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED “INDEPENDENT” UNDER THE POLICIES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN SECURITIES ADMINISTRATORS ASSOCIATION, INC.

All of our officers or directors own shares of our common stock, and no salary or other compensation will be paid to our officers or directors for services rendered by them on our behalf prior to or in connection with a business combination. We believe that two members of our board of directors are "independent" as that term is commonly used. However, under the policies of the North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc., because our directors may receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations, state securities administrators could take the position that such individuals are not "independent." If this were the case, they would take the position that we would not have the benefit of independent directors examining the propriety of expenses incurred on our behalf and subject to reimbursement. Additionally, there is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses that could be incurred and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of directors, which would include persons who may seek reimbursement, or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged. Although we believe that all actions taken by our directors on our behalf will be in our best interests, whether or not two of them are deemed to be “independent,” we cannot assure you that this will actually be the case. If actions are taken, or expenses are incurred that are actually not in our best interests, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations and the price of our stock held by the public stockholders.
 
22

 
WE MAY ACQUIRE A DOMESTIC BUSINESS WITH OPERATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND MAY FACE CERTAIN ECONOMIC AND REGULATORY CHALLENGES THAT WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MEET.

While we expect to acquire a business or assets in the United States, we may acquire a business or assets with operations outside the United States. There are certain risks inherent in doing business in international markets, particularly in the healthcare industry, which is heavily regulated and controlled in many jurisdictions outside the United States. These risks include:

·  
less developed healthcare infrastructures and generally higher costs;

·  
difficulty in obtaining the necessary healthcare regulatory approvals for any potential expansion, and the possibility that any approvals that may be obtained would impose restrictions on the operation of the our business;

·  
the inability to manage and coordinate the healthcare regulatory requirements of multiple jurisdictions that are constantly evolving and subject to unexpected change;

·  
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

·  
fluctuations in exchange rates;

·  
reduced or no protection for intellectual property rights; and

·  
potentially adverse tax consequences.

Our inability to manage these risks effectively could adversely affect our proposed business and limit our ability to expand our operations, which would have a material adverse effect on the our business, financial condition and results of operations.

OUR STOCKHOLDERS MAY BE HELD LIABLE FOR CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES AGAINST US TO THE EXTENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED BY THEM.

We will dissolve and liquidate if we do not complete a business combination by August 3, 2007. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the Delaware General Corporation Law intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. Although we will seek stockholder approval to liquidate the trust account to our public stockholders as part of our plan of dissolution and liquidation, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. Because we will not be complying with Section 280, we will seek stockholder approval to comply with Section 281(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, requiring us to adopt a plan of dissolution that will provide for our payment, based on facts known to us at such time, of (i) all existing claims, (ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations will be limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as accountants, lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or potential target businesses. We intend to have all vendors and prospective target businesses execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account. As a result, the claims that could be made against us are significantly limited and the likelihood that any claim that would result in any liability extending to the trust is minimal. However, because we will not be complying with Section 280, our public stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them in dissolution and any such liability of our stockholders will likely extend beyond the third anniversary of such dissolution. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from our public stockholders amounts owed to them by us.

WE WILL DISSOLVE AND LIQUIDATE IF WE DO NOT CONSUMMATE A BUSINESS COMBINATION.
 
Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if we do not complete a business combination by August 3, 2007, we will dissolve, liquidate and wind up. We view this obligation to dissolve and liquidate as an obligation to our public stockholders and neither we nor our board of directors will take any action to amend or waive any provision of our certificate of incorporation to allow us to survive for a longer period of time if it does not appear we will be able to consummate a business combination within the foregoing time periods. Upon dissolution, we will distribute to all of our public stockholders, in proportion to their respective equity interest, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust account (net of taxes payable). Our initial stockholders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to their initial shares and have agreed to vote in favor of any plan of dissolution and liquidation which we will present to our stockholders for vote. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our warrants which will expire worthless. We will pay the costs of our dissolution and liquidation of the trust account from our remaining assets outside of the trust fund, and we estimate such costs to be between $50,000 and $75,000. Upon notice from us, the trustee of the trust account will liquidate the investments constituting the trust account and will turn over the proceeds to our transfer agent for distribution to our public stockholders as part of our stockholder-approved plan of dissolution and liquidation. Concurrently, we shall pay, or reserve for payment, from funds held outside of the trust account if available, our liabilities and obligations, although we cannot give you assurances that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. The amounts held in the trust account may be subject to claims by third parties, such as vendors, prospective target business or other entities, if we do not obtain waivers in advance from such third parties prior to such parties providing us with services or entering into arrangements with them.
 
IF WE DO NOT CONSUMMATE A BUSINESS COMBINATION AND DISSOLVE, PAYMENTS FROM THE TRUST ACCOUNT TO OUR PUBLIC STOCKHOLDERS MAY BE DELAYED.
 
We currently believe that any plan of dissolution and liquidation subsequent to the expiration dates described above would proceed in approximately the following manner:
 
·  
our board of directors will, consistent with its obligations described in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to dissolve, prior to the passing of the such deadline, convene and adopt a specific plan of dissolution and liquidation which it will then vote to recommend to our stockholders; at such time it will also cause to be prepared a preliminary proxy statement setting out such plan of dissolution and liquidation as well as the board’s recommendation of such plan;
 
24

 
·  
upon such deadline, we would file our preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

·  
if the Securities and Exchange Commission does not review the preliminary proxy statement, then, approximately 10 days following the passing of such deadline, we will mail the proxy statements to our stockholders, and approximately 30 days following the passing of such deadline we will convene a meeting of our stockholders, at which they will either approve or reject our plan of dissolution and liquidation; and

·  
if the Securities and Exchange Commission does review the preliminary proxy statement, we currently estimate that we will receive their comments approximately 30 days following the passing of such deadline.  We will mail the proxy statements to our stockholders following the conclusion of the comment and review process (the length of which we cannot predict with any certainty, and which may be substantial) and we will convene a meeting of our stockholders at which they will either approve or reject our plan of dissolution and liquidation.
 
In the event we seek stockholder approval for a plan of dissolution and liquidation and do not obtain such approval, we will nonetheless continue to pursue stockholder approval for our dissolution. Our powers following the expiration of the permitted time periods for consummating a business combination will thereafter be limited to acts and activities relating to dissolving and winding up our affairs, including liquidation. The funds held in our trust account may not be distributed except upon our dissolution and, unless and until such approval is obtained from our stockholders, the funds held in our trust account will not be released.  Consequently, holders of a majority of our outstanding stock must approve our dissolution in order to receive the funds held in our trust account and the funds will not be available for any other corporate purpose.
 
These procedures, or a vote to reject any plan of dissolution and liquidation by our stockholders, may result in substantial delays in the liquidation of our trust account to our public stockholders as part of our plan of dissolution and liquidation.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY

With respect to the proposed acquisition of PharmAthene, we refer you to the preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC (and final proxy statement once it has been approved) for a discussion of the material risks applicable to the industry in which PharmAthene operates.

Even if we acquire domestic or international assets or operations, of which no assurances can be given, our proposed business will be subject to numerous risks, including the following:

CHANGES IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY ARE SUBJECT TO VARIOUS INFLUENCES, EACH OF WHICH MAY AFFECT OUR PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS.

The healthcare industry is subject to changing political, economic, and regulatory influences. These factors affect the purchasing practices and operations of healthcare organizations. Any changes in current healthcare financing and reimbursement systems could cause us to make unplanned enhancements of our prospective products or services, or result in delays or cancellations of orders, or in the revocation of endorsement of our prospective products or services by clients. Federal and state legislatures have periodically considered programs to reform or amend the U.S. healthcare system at both the federal and state level. Such programs may increase governmental regulation or involvement in healthcare, lower reimbursement rates, or otherwise change the environment in which healthcare industry participants operate. Healthcare industry participants may respond by reducing their investments or postponing investment decisions, including investments in our prospective products or services.
 
25

 
Many healthcare industry participants are consolidating to create integrated healthcare systems with greater market power. As the healthcare industry consolidates, competition to provide products and services to industry participants will become even more intense, as will the importance of establishing a relationship with each industry participant. These industry participants may try to use their market power to negotiate price reductions for our prospective products and services. If we were forced to reduce our prices, our operating results could suffer if we could not achieve corresponding reductions in our expenses.

ANY BUSINESS WE ACQUIRE WILL BE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE GOVERNMENT REGULATION. ANY CHANGES TO THE LAWS AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING OUR PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS, OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THOSE LAWS OR REGULATIONS, COULD CAUSE US TO MODIFY OUR OPERATIONS AND COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR OPERATING RESULTS.

We believe that our prospective business will be extensively regulated by the federal government and any states in which we decide to operate. The laws and regulations governing our operations, if any, are generally intended to benefit and protect persons other than our stockholders. The government agencies administering these laws and regulations have broad latitude to enforce them. These laws and regulations along with the terms of any government contracts we may enter into would regulate how we do business, what products and services we could offer, and how we would interact with the public. These laws and regulations, and their interpretations, are subject to frequent change. Changes in existing laws or regulations, or their interpretations, or the enactment of new laws or regulations could reduce our revenue, if any, by:

·  
imposing additional capital requirements;

·  
increasing our liability;

·  
increasing our administrative and other costs;

·  
increasing or decreasing mandated benefits;

·  
forcing us to restructure our relationships with providers; or

·  
requiring us to implement additional or different programs and systems.

For example, Congress enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 which mandates that health plans enhance privacy protections for member protected health information. This requires health plans to add, at significant cost, new administrative, information and security systems to prevent inappropriate release of protected member health information. Compliance with this law is uncertain and has affected the revenue streams of entities subject to it. Similarly, individual states periodically consider adding operational requirements applicable to health plans, often without identifying funding for these requirements. California recently required all health plans to make available to members independent medical review of their claims. Any analogous requirements applied to our prospective products or services would be costly to implement and could affect our prospective revenues.
 
26

 
We believe that our business, if any, will be subject to various routine and non-routine governmental reviews, audits and investigation. Violation of the laws governing our prospective operations, or changes in interpretations of those laws, could result in the imposition of civil or criminal penalties, the cancellation of any contracts to provide products or services, the suspension or revocation of any licenses, and exclusion from participation in government sponsored health programs, such as Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program. If we become subject to material fines or if other sanctions or other corrective actions were imposed upon us, we might suffer a substantial reduction in revenue, and might also lose one or more of our government contracts and as a result lose significant numbers of members and amounts of revenue.

The current administration's issuance of new regulations, its review of the existing Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 rules and other newly published regulations, the states' ability to promulgate stricter rules, and uncertainty regarding many aspects of the regulations may make compliance with any new regulatory landscape difficult. In order to comply with any new regulatory requirements, any prospective business we acquire may be required to employ additional or different programs and systems, the costs of which are unknown to us at this time. Further, compliance with any such new regulations may lead to additional costs that we have not yet identified. We do not know whether, or the extent to which, we would be able to recover our costs of complying with any new regulations. Any new regulations and the related compliance costs could have a material adverse effect on our business.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ATTRACT QUALIFIED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS AT REASONABLE COSTS, IT COULD LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO GROW, INCREASE OUR OPERATING COSTS AND NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS.

We may rely significantly on our ability to attract and retain qualified healthcare professionals who possess the skills, experience and licenses necessary to meet the certification requirements and the requirements of the hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare facilities with which we may work, as well as the requirements of applicable state and federal governing bodies. We will compete for qualified healthcare professionals with hospitals, nursing homes and other healthcare organizations. Currently, for example, there is a shortage of qualified nurses in most areas of the United States. Therefore, competition for nursing personnel is increasing, and nurses’ salaries and benefits have risen. This may also occur with respect to other healthcare professionals on whom our business may become dependent.

Our ability to attract and retain such qualified healthcare professionals will depend on several factors, including our ability to provide attractive assignments and competitive benefits and wages. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in any of these areas. Because we may operate in a fixed reimbursement environment, increases in the wages and benefits that we must provide to attract and retain qualified healthcare professionals or increases in our reliance on contract or temporary healthcare professionals could negatively affect our revenue. We may be unable to continue to increase the number of qualified healthcare professionals that we recruit, decreasing the potential for growth of our business. Moreover, if we are unable to attract and retain qualified healthcare professionals, we may have to limit the number of clients for whom we can provide any of our prospective products or services.

WE MAY FACE SUBSTANTIAL RISKS OF LITIGATION AS A RESULT OF OPERATING IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY. IF WE BECOME SUBJECT TO MALPRACTICE AND RELATED LEGAL CLAIMS, WE COULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY SIGNIFICANT DAMAGES, WHICH MAY NOT BE COVERED BY INSURANCE.
 
27

 
Litigation is a risk that each business contends with, and businesses operating in the healthcare industry do so more than most. In recent years, medical product companies have issued recalls of medical products, and physicians, hospitals and other health care providers have become subject to an increasing number of legal actions alleging malpractice, product liability or related legal theories. Many of these actions involve large monetary claims and significant defense costs. We intend to maintain liability insurance in amounts that we believe will be appropriate for our prospective operations. We also intend to maintain business interruption insurance and property damage insurance, as well as an additional umbrella liability insurance policy. However, this insurance coverage may not cover all claims against us. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available at a cost allowing us to maintain adequate levels of insurance. If one or more successful claims against us were not covered by or exceeded the coverage of our insurance, our financial condition could be adversely affected.

WE MAY BE DEPENDENT ON PAYMENTS FROM MEDICARE AND MEDICAID. CHANGES IN THE RATES OR METHODS GOVERNING THESE PAYMENTS FOR OUR PROSPECTIVE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR DELAYS IN SUCH PAYMENTS, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR PROSPECTIVE REVENUE.

A large portion of our revenue may consist of payments from Medicare and Medicaid programs. Because these are generally fixed payments, we would be at risk for the cost of any products or services provided to our clients. We cannot assure you that Medicare and Medicaid will continue to pay in the same manner or in the same amount that they currently do. Any reductions in amounts paid by government programs for our prospective products or services or changes in methods or regulations governing payments would adversely affect our potential revenue. Additionally, delays in any such payments, whether as a result of disputes or for any other reason, would also adversely affect our potential revenue.

IF OUR COSTS WERE TO INCREASE MORE RAPIDLY THAN FIXED PAYMENT ADJUSTMENTS WE RECEIVE FROM MEDICARE, MEDICAID OR OTHER THIRD-PARTY PAYORS FOR ANY OF OUR POTENTIAL PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OUR REVENUE COULD BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED.

We may receive fixed payments for our prospective products or services based on the level of service or care that we provide. Accordingly, our revenue may be largely dependent on our ability to manage costs of providing any products or services and to maintain a client base. We may become susceptible to situations where our clients may require more extensive and therefore more expensive products or services than we may be able to profitably deliver. Although Medicare, Medicaid and certain third-party payers currently provide for an annual adjustment of various payment rates based on the increase or decrease of the medical care expenditure category of the Consumer Price Index, these increases have historically been less than actual inflation. If these annual adjustments were eliminated or reduced, or if our costs of providing our products or services increased more than the annual adjustment, any revenue stream we may generate would be negatively impacted.

WE MAY DEPEND ON PAYMENTS FROM THIRD-PARTY PAYORS, INCLUDING MANAGED CARE ORGANIZATIONS. IF THESE PAYMENTS ARE REDUCED, ELIMINATED OR DELAYED, OUR PROSPECTIVE REVENUES COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

We may be dependent upon private sources of payment for any of our potential products or services. Any amounts that we may receive in payment for such products and services may be adversely affected by market and cost factors as well as other factors over which we have no control, including regulations and cost containment and utilization decisions and reduced reimbursement schedules of third-party payers. Any reductions in such payments, to the extent that we could not recoup them elsewhere, would have a material adverse effect on our prospective business and results of operations. Additionally, delays in any such payments, whether as a result of disputes or for any other reason, would have a material adverse effect on our prospective business and results of operations.
 
28

 
MEDICAL REVIEWS AND AUDITS BY GOVERNMENTAL AND PRIVATE PAYORS COULD RESULT IN MATERIAL PAYMENT RECOUPMENTS AND PAYMENT DENIALS, WHICH COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS.

Medicare fiscal intermediaries and other payers may periodically conduct pre-payment or post-payment medical reviews or other audits of our prospective products or services. In order to conduct these reviews, the payer would request documentation from us and then review that documentation to determine compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including the documentation of any products or services that we might provide. We cannot predict whether medical reviews or similar audits by federal or state agencies or commercial payers of such products or services will result in material recipients or denials, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

IF THE FDA OR OTHER STATE OR FOREIGN AGENCIES IMPOSE REGULATIONS THAT AFFECT OUR POTENTIAL PRODUCTS, OUR COSTS WILL INCREASE.

The development, testing, production and marketing of any of our potential products that we may manufacture, market or sell following a business combination may be subject to regulation by the FDA as "devices" under the 1976 Medical Device Amendments to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Before a new medical device, or a new use of, or claim for, an existing product can be marketed in the United States, it must first receive either 510(k) clearance or pre-market approval from the FDA, unless an exemption applies. Either process can be expensive and lengthy. The FDA's 510(k) clearance process usually takes from three to twelve months, but it can take longer and is unpredictable. The process of obtaining pre-market approval is much more costly and uncertain than the 510(k) clearance process and it generally takes from one to three years, or even longer, from the time the application is filed with the FDA.

In the United States, medical devices must be:

·  
manufactured in registered and quality approved establishments by the FDA; and

·  
produced in accordance with the FDA Quality System Regulation ("QSR") for medical devices.

As a result, we may be required to comply with QSR requirements and if we fail to comply with these requirements, we may need to find another company to manufacture any such devices which could delay the shipment of our potential product to our customers.

The FDA requires producers of medical devices to obtain FDA licensing prior to commercialization in the United States. Testing, preparation of necessary applications and the processing of those applications by the FDA is expensive and time consuming. We do not know if the FDA would act favorably or quickly in making such reviews, and significant difficulties or costs may potentially be encountered by us in any efforts to obtain FDA licenses. The FDA may also place conditions on licenses that could restrict commercial applications of such products. Product approvals may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or if problems occur following initial marketing. Delays imposed by the FDA licensing process may materially reduce the period during which we have the exclusive right to commercialize any potential patented products. We may make modifications to any potential devices and may make additional modifications in the future that we may believe do not or will not require additional clearances or approvals. If the FDA should disagree, and require new clearances or approvals for the potential modifications, we may be required to recall and to stop marketing the potential modified devices. We also may be subject to Medical Device Reporting regulations, which would require us to report to the FDA if our products were to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, or malfunction in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. We cannot assure you that such problems will not occur in the future.
 
29

 
Additionally, our potential products may be subject to regulation by similar agencies in other states and foreign countries. Compliance with such laws or regulations, including any new laws or regulations in connection any potential products developed by us, might impose additional costs on us or marketing impediments on such products which could adversely affect our revenues and increase our expenses. The FDA and state authorities have broad enforcement powers. Our failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in enforcement action by the FDA or state agencies, which may include any of the following sanctions:

·  
warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;

·  
repair, replacement, refunds, recall or seizure of our products;

·  
operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

·  
refusal of requests for 510(k) clearance or pre-market approval of new products, new intended uses, or modifications to existing products;

·  
withdrawal of 510(k) clearance or pre-market approvals previously granted; and

·  
criminal prosecution.

If any of these events were to occur, it could harm our business.

THE FDA CAN IMPOSE CIVIL AND CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND OTHER PENALTIES ON US IF WE WERE TO FAIL TO COMPLY WITH STRINGENT FDA REGULATIONS.

Medical device manufacturing facilities must maintain records, which are available for FDA inspectors documenting that the appropriate manufacturing procedures were followed. Should we acquire such a facility as a result of a business combination, the FDA would have authority to conduct inspections of such a facility. Labeling and promotional activities are also subject to scrutiny by the FDA and, in certain instances, by the Federal Trade Commission. Any failure by us to take satisfactory corrective action in response to an adverse inspection or to comply with applicable FDA regulations could result in enforcement action against us, including a public warning letter, a shutdown of manufacturing operations, a recall of our products, civil or criminal penalties or other sanctions. From time to time, the FDA may modify such requirements, imposing additional or different requirements which could require us to alter our business methods which could potentially result in increased expenses.

Government Regulation

Although as of December 31, 2006, we had not entered into any agreement to acquire any operating business, we believe that any prospective business we may acquire will be extensively regulated by the federal government and any states in which we decide to operate. With respect to the proposed acquisition of PharmAthene, we refer you to the preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC (and final proxy statement once it has been approved) for a discussion of the potential laws and regulations which will govern our operations, if any, once the PharmAthene transaction is completed. The government agencies administering these laws and regulations have broad latitude to enforce them. These laws and regulations along with the terms of any government contracts we may enter into would regulate how we do business, what products and services we could offer, and how we would interact with the public. These laws and regulations, and their interpretations, are subject to frequent change. Changes in existing laws or regulations, or their interpretations, or the enactment of new laws or regulations could reduce our revenue, if any, by:

·  
imposing additional capital requirements;

·  
increasing our liability;

·  
increasing our administrative and other costs;

·  
increasing or decreasing mandated benefits;

·  
forcing us to restructure our relationships with providers; or

·  
requiring us to implement additional or different programs and systems.

For example, Congress enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 which mandates that health plans enhance privacy protections for member protected health information. This requires health plans to add, at significant cost, new administrative, information and security systems to prevent inappropriate release of protected member health information.

California recently required all health plans to make available to members independent medical review of their claims. Any analogous requirements applied to our prospective products or services would be costly to implement and could affect our prospective revenues.

We believe that our business, if any, will be subject to various routine and non-routine governmental reviews, audits and investigation. Violation of the laws governing our prospective operations, or changes in interpretations of those laws, could result in the imposition of civil or criminal penalties, the cancellation of any contracts to provide products or services, the suspension or revocation of any licenses, and exclusion from participation in government sponsored health programs, such as Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program. If we become subject to material fines or if other sanctions or other corrective actions were imposed upon us, we might suffer a substantial reduction in revenue, and might also lose one or more of our government contracts and as a result lose significant numbers of members and amounts of revenue.

The current administration's issuance of new regulations, its review of the existing Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 rules and other newly published regulations, the states' ability to promulgate stricter rules, and uncertainty regarding many aspects of the regulations may make compliance with any new regulatory landscape difficult. In order to comply with any new regulatory requirements, any prospective business we acquire may be required to employ additional or different programs and systems, the costs of which are unknown to us at this time. Further, compliance with any such new regulations may lead to additional costs that we have not yet identified. We do not know whether, or the extent to which, we would be able to recover our costs of complying with any new regulations.
 
31

 
In addition, the development, testing, production and marketing of any products that we may manufacture, market or sell following a business combination may be subject to regulation by the FDA as "devices" under the 1976 Medical Device Amendments to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended. Before a new medical device, or a new use of, or claim for, an existing product can be marketed in the United States, it must first receive either 510(k) clearance or pre-market approval from the FDA, unless an exemption applies. Either process can be expensive and lengthy. The FDA's 510(k) clearance process usually takes from three to twelve months, but it can take longer and is unpredictable.

As a result, we may be required to comply with QSR requirements and if we fail to comply with these requirements, we may need to find another company to manufacture any such devices which could delay the shipment of our potential product to our customers.

The FDA requires producers of medical devices to obtain FDA clearance or approval prior to commercialization in the United States. Testing, preparation of necessary applications and the processing of those applications by the FDA is expensive and time consuming. We do not know if the FDA would act favorably or quickly in making such reviews, and significant difficulties or costs may potentially be encountered by us in any efforts to obtain FDA clearance or approval. The FDA may also place conditions on clearances and approvals that could restrict commercial applications of such products. Product approvals may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or if problems occur following initial marketing. Delays imposed by the FDA clearance or approval process may materially reduce the period during which we have the exclusive right to commercialize any potential patented products. We may make modifications to any potential devices and may make additional modifications in the future that we may believe do not or will not require additional clearances or approvals. If the FDA should disagree, and require new clearances or approvals for the potential modifications, we may be required to recall and to stop marketing the potential modified devices. We also may be subject to Medical Device Reporting regulations, which would require us to report to the FDA if our products were to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, or malfunction in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury.

The development, testing, production and marketing of any of our potential products that we may manufacture, market or sell following a business combination may be subject to regulation by the FDA as "drugs." All "new drugs" must be the subject of an FDA-approved new drug application (NDA) and all new biologics products must be the subject of a biologics license application (BLA) before they may be marketed in the United States. All generic equivalents to previously approved drugs or new dosage forms of existing drugs must be the subject of an FDA-approved abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) before they may be marketed in the United States. In all cases, the FDA has the authority to determine what testing procedures are appropriate for a particular product and, in some instances, has not published or otherwise identified guidelines as to the appropriate procedures. The FDA has the authority to withdraw existing NDA, BLA and ANDA approvals and to review the regulatory status of products marketed under its enforcement policies. The FDA may require an approved NDA, BLA, or ANDA for any drug or biologic product marketed to be recalled or withdrawn under its enforcement policy if new information reveals questions about the drug or biologic's safety or effectiveness. All drugs must be manufactured in conformity with current good manufacturing practice regulations (GMPs) and drugs and biologics subject to an approved NDA, BLA, or ANDA must be manufactured, processed, packaged, held and labeled in accordance with information contained in those approvals. The required product testing and approval process for new drugs and biologics ordinarily takes several years and requires the expenditure of substantial resources. Testing of any product under development may not result in a commercially-viable product. Even after such time and expenses, regulatory approval by the FDA may not be obtained for any products developed. In addition, delays or rejections may be encountered based upon changes in FDA policy during the period of product development and FDA review. Any regulatory approval may impose limitations in the indicated use for the product. Even if regulatory approval is obtained, a marketed product, its manufacturer and its manufacturing facilities are subject to continual review and periodic inspections. Subsequent discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, manufacturer or facility may result in restrictions on the product or manufacturer, including withdrawal of the product from the market.
 
32

 
Even if required FDA approval has been obtained with respect to a new drug or biologic product, foreign regulatory approval of a product must also be obtained prior to marketing the product internationally. Foreign approval procedures vary from country to country and the time required for approval may delay or prevent marketing. The clinical testing requirements and the time required to obtain foreign regulatory approvals may differ from that required for FDA approval. Although there is now a centralized European Union approval mechanism for new pharmaceutical products in place, each European Union member state may nonetheless impose its own procedures and requirements, many of which are time consuming and expensive, and some European Union member states require price approval as part of the regulatory approval process. Thus, there can be substantial delays in obtaining required approval from both the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities.

Employees

As of December 31, 2006, we had three officers, all of whom are also members of our board of directors, and no other employees. These individuals are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to our affairs. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on the availability of suitable target businesses to investigate, although we expect such individuals to devote an average of approximately ten hours per week to our business. Our officers have devoted a significant amount of time to the proposed acquisition with PharmAthene. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.

Item 2. Properties.
 
We maintain our executive offices at 2116 Financial Center, 666 Walnut Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50309. We have agreed to pay Equity Dynamics, Inc., an affiliated third party of which Mr. Pappajohn is the President and principal stockholder, and Mr. Kinley a Senior Vice President, approximately $7,500 per month for office space (located at our executive offices) and certain additional general and administrative services, such as an allocable share of receptionist, secretarial and general office services. These offices consist of approximately 2,570 square feet of office space. A prior arrangement with an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer, Derace Schaffer, M.D., pursuant to which we paid $1,500 a month for office space and certain general and administrative services, as a portion of the $7,500, was terminated on December 31, 2005.

We consider our office space adequate for our current operations.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

To the knowledge of management, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us or any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal period ended December 31, 2006.

As of March 26, 2007, there were six stockholders of record of our common stock and one holder of record of our warrants. Such numbers do not include beneficial owners holding shares or warrants through nominee names.

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock to date and do not intend to pay dividends prior to the completion of a business combination. The payment of dividends in the future will be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of a business combination. The payment of any dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our then board of directors. It is the present intention of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Since inception in April 2005, we sold the following shares of common stock without registration under the Securities Act:

Such shares were issued on April 25, 2005 in connection with our organization pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as they were sold to sophisticated, wealthy individuals. The shares issued to the individuals and entities above were sold for an aggregate offering price of $25,000 at an average purchase price of approximately $0.0167 per share. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sales. In June 2005, Mr. Pappajohn, Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Kinley transferred, for an aggregate consideration per share which they paid us and pro rata to their ownership of our common stock, an aggregate of 30,000 shares of our common stock equally to Mr. Berger and Mr. Schellhammer, two of our directors. On July 8, 2005, our Board of Directors authorized a stock dividend of approximately .333333 shares of common stock for each outstanding share of common stock, effectively lowering the initial purchase price to approximately $.0125 per share. Further, on July 22, 2005, our board of directors authorized a stock dividend of approximately .125 shares of common stock for each outstanding share of common stock, effectively lowering the initial purchase price to approximately $.0111 per share.

Use of Proceeds from our Initial Public Offering

The effective date of our registration statement, which was filed on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 333-124712), and which relates to the initial public offering of our units, was July 28, 2005. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock, $.0001 par value per share, and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock. A total of 10,350,000 units were registered at a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of $82,800,000.

The offering was consummated on August 3, 2005, and the sale of a portion of the overallotment option was consummated on August 16, 2005. The underwriters of the offering were Maxim Group LLC, Ramius Securities, LLC, Sunrise Securities Corp. and Broadband Capital Management, LLC. A total of 9,400,000 units were sold in the offering and the overallotment at $8.00 per unit for an aggregate offering price of $75,200,000. Each of our units commenced trading its component share of common stock and warrant separately on October 6, 2005. Our units do not continue to trade separately from the common stock and warrants.

Our net proceeds from our initial public offering are as set forth in the following table:

(1)  
Consists of an underwriting discount of 6% of the gross proceeds of our initial public offering (including any units sold to cover overallotments).

(2)  
Upon consummation of a business combination, Maxim Group LLC will be paid an additional underwriting discount in the amount of 1% of the gross proceeds of our initial public offering (including any units sold to cover overallotments) out of the funds held in trust, for an aggregate of $752,000.

(3)  
The 1% non-accountable expense allowance was not payable with respect to the units sold upon exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.

$67,928,000 of the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the overallotment, or approximately $7.23 per share, were placed in a trust account at JP Morgan Chase NY Bank maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, New York, New York, as trustee. The proceeds will not be released from the trust fund until the earlier of the completion of a business combination or our liquidation. The proceeds held in the trust fund may be used as consideration to pay the sellers of a target business with which we ultimately complete a business combination. Any amounts not paid as consideration to the sellers of the target business may be used to finance operations of the target business or to effect other acquisitions, as determined by our board of directors at that time.

We have agreed to pay Equity Dynamics, Inc., an affiliated third party of which Mr. Pappajohn is the President and principal stockholder, and Mr. Kinley a Senior Vice President, approximately $7,500 per month for office space and certain additional general and administrative services. A prior arrangement with an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer, Derace Schaffer, M.D., pursuant to which we paid $1,500 a month for office space and certain general and administrative services, as a portion of the $7,500, was terminated on December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2006, approximately $127,500 was paid pursuant to these arrangements.

In accordance with their agreement with the representative of the underwriters in our initial public offering, Mr. Pappajohn, Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Kinley purchased, pursuant to the guidelines set forth in SEC Rule 10b5-1 in connection with Rule 10b5-1 plans, an aggregate of 354,900 of our warrants, for aggregate consideration of $386,070, on the open market at prices up to $1.20 per warrant. The Rule 10b5-1 plans terminated on January 6, 2006, and no further purchases are planned.

Prior to the closing of a business combination, we have agreed to obtain keyman life insurance in the amount of $3,000,000 in the aggregate on the lives of certain members of our management for a three year period. Based on current estimates, the premium for such life insurance policies, of which we will be the sole beneficiary, is expected to be approximately $5,000 per year. Effective January of 2006, keyman life insurance was obtained for Matt Kinley and Derace Schaffer in the amount of $1,500,000 each.

We intend to use the excess working capital (approximately $510,000) being held in reserve in the event due diligence, legal, accounting and other expenses of structuring and negotiating business combinations exceed our estimates, as well as for reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering in connection with activities on our behalf as described below. We expect that due diligence of prospective target businesses will be performed by some or all of our officers and directors and may include engaging market research firms and/or third party consultants. Our officers and directors do not receive any compensation for their due diligence of prospective target businesses, but are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses (such as travel expenses) incurred in connection with such due diligence activities. As of December 31, 2006, we have reimbursed an aggregate of $158,323 to such persons. We believe that the excess working capital will be sufficient to cover the foregoing expenses and reimbursement costs.

Mr. Pappajohn, Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Kinley loaned us a total of $250,000 which was used to pay a portion of the expenses of the initial public offering, such as SEC registration fees, NASD registration fees, AMEX listing fees and legal and accounting fees and expenses. These loans were repaid out of the net proceeds of our initial public offering not placed in trust.

The net proceeds of the initial public offering not held in the trust fund and not immediately required for the purposes set forth above may only be invested by the trust agent in "government securities" with specific maturity dates, or in money market funds meeting specific requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, in each case in such a manner that we are not deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act. As of December 31, 2006, there was $70,887,371 held in the trust fund, including interest earned on the initial deposit.

Other than the $7,500 aggregate per month general and administrative service fees described above, no compensation of any kind (including finder's and consulting fees) will be paid to any persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering, or any of their affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the consummation of the business combination. However, such stockholders will receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. After the consummation of a business combination, if any, to the extent our management remains as officers of the resulting business, we anticipate that they may enter into employment agreements, the terms of which shall be negotiated and which we expect to be comparable to employment agreements with other similarly-situated companies in the healthcare industry. Further, after the consummation of a business combination, if any, to the extent our directors remain as directors of the resulting business, we anticipate that they will receive compensation comparable to directors at other similarly-situated companies in the healthcare industry.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and footnotes thereto contained in this report.

We were formed on April 25, 2005, to serve as a vehicle to acquire, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, one or more domestic or international assets or an operating business in the healthcare industry. Our initial business combination must be with a target business or businesses whose fair market value is at least equal to 80% of net assets at the time of such acquisition. 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.

On August 3, 2005, we consummated our initial public offering of 9,000,000 units. On August 16, 2005, we consummated the closing of an additional 400,000 units that were subject to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from us one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.00.

Our net proceeds from the sale of our units, including amounts from exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, after deducting certain offering expenses of approximately $1,220,000, including $720,000 evidencing the underwriters' non-accountable expense allowance of 1% of the gross proceeds (excluding the proceeds from the underwriters' over-allotment), and underwriting discounts of approximately $4,512,000, were approximately $69,468,000. Of this amount, $67,928,000 is being held in trust and the remaining funds are being held outside of the trust. The remaining proceeds are available to be used by us to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. We will 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 August 2007, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business.
 
Item 7A. 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 of the trust account we may not engage in, any substantive commercial business. Accordingly, the risks associated with foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices are not significant.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Reference is made to pages F-1 through F-14 comprising a portion of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of Derace L. Schaffer, M.D., our principal executive officer, and Matthew P. Kinley, our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006. Based upon that evaluation, Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Kinley concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

Not applicable.

These individuals have played a key role in identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the target business, and structuring, negotiating and consummating its acquisition. None of these individuals has been a principal of or affiliated with a public company or blank check company that executed a business plan similar to our business plan and none of these individuals is currently affiliated with such an entity. However, we believe that the skills and expertise of these individuals, their collective access to acquisition opportunities and ideas, their contacts, and their transaction expertise should enable them to identify and effect an acquisition although we cannot assure you that they will, in fact, be able to do so.

Dr. Schaffer, Mr. Pappajohn and Mr. Kinley may be deemed to be our “parents” and are deemed our “promoters,” as these terms are defined under the Federal securities laws.

Director Independence

Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Berger and Mr. Schellhammer are “independent directors” as defined in the American Stock Exchange listing standards and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. After the proposed merger with PharmAthene, our board of directors will consist of up to seven members, and it is anticipated that a majority of which will be considered “independent.” We expect the Board members to be John Pappajohn, Derace M. Schaffer, M.D., James Cavanaugh, Ph.D., Steven St. Peter, M.D. Elizabeth Czerepak, Joel McCleary and David Wright. Their biographies are set forth in the preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC, which we urge you to review carefully.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Except for the Form 5 of Mr. Berger filed on February 20, 2007, all of these reports were filed in a timely manner.

Board Committees

Our board of directors established an audit committee and a nominating committee. Our board of directors adopted charters for these committees, as well as a code of conduct and ethics that governs the conduct of our directors, officers and employees.

We do not currently have a compensation committee but we expect to establish a compensation committee as soon as practicable after the consummation of the merger. Pursuant to Section 805 of the AMEX Company Guide, compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, if any, will be determined, or recommended to the Board for determination, by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors. The Chief Executive Officer will not be present during voting or deliberations. Compensation for all other officers, if any, will be determined, or recommended to the Board for determination, by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors. None of our officers currently receive compensation. We do not expect to pay any compensation to any of our officers until following the consummation of the merger with PharmAthene.
 
Under the terms of the merger, we have agreed that the holders of the 8% notes to be issued in the merger with PharmAthene shall have the right to have two persons out of the three persons on the compensation committee for as long as at least 30% of the original principal amount of the 8% notes remains outstanding.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee currently consists of Mr. Berger and Mr. Schellhammer. The independent directors we appoint to our audit committee will each be an independent member of our board of directors, as defined by the rules of the American Stock Exchange and the SEC. Each member of our audit committee will be financially literate under the current listing standards of the American Stock Exchange, and our board of directors has determined that Mr. Berger qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert," as such term is defined by SEC rules. We intend to locate and appoint at least one additional independent director on our audit committee after the consummation of the Acquisition.

The audit committee reviews the professional services and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm and our accounts, procedures and internal controls. The audit committee also recommends the firm selected to be our independent registered public accounting firm, reviews and approves the scope of the annual audit, review and evaluates with the independent public accounting firm our annual audit and annual consolidated financial statements, reviews with management the status of internal accounting controls, evaluates problem areas having a potential financial impact on us that may be brought to the committee's attention by management, the independent registered public accounting firm or the board of directors, and evaluates all of our public financial reporting documents.
 
Under the terms of the merger, we have agreed that the holders of the 8% notes to be issued in the merger with PharmAthene shall have the right to have two persons out of the three persons on the audit committee for as long as at least 30% of the original principal amount of the 8% notes remains outstanding.

Nominating Committee

We have established a nominating committee of the board of directors, which consists of Mr. Berger and Mr. Schellhammer, each of whom is an independent director as defined by the rules of the American Stock Exchange and the SEC. The nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management, stockholders, investment bankers and others. We intend to locate and appoint at least one additional independent director on our nominating committee after the consummation of the Acquisition.

The guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in the nominating committee charter, generally provide that persons to be nominated should be actively engaged in business endeavors, have an understanding of financial statements, corporate budgeting and capital structure, be familiar with the requirements of a publicly traded company, be familiar with industries relevant to our business endeavors, be willing to devote significant time to the oversight duties of the board of directors of a public company, and be able to promote a diversity of views based on the person's education, experience and professional employment. The nominating committee evaluates each individual in the context of the board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group of persons that can best implement our business plan, perpetuate our business and represent shareholder interests. The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time. The nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by stockholders and other persons.

Under the terms of the merger, we have agreed that the holders of the 8% notes to be issued in the merger with PharmAthene shall have the right to have two persons out of the three persons on the nominating committee for as long as at least 30% of the original principal amount of the 8% notes remains outstanding.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a code of conduct and ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and the rules of the American Stock Exchange. You can review this document by accessing our public filings at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the code of conduct and ethics will be provided without charge upon request to us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our code of ethics within 5 business days of such amendment or waiver or as otherwise required by the SEC.

Conflicts of Interest

Potential investors should be aware of the following potential conflicts of interest:

·  
None of our officers and directors are required to commit their full time to our affairs and, accordingly, they will have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities.

·  
In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to our company as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. They may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
 
45

 
·  
Our officers and directors may in the future become affiliated with entities, including other blank check companies, engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by our company.

·  
Since our directors beneficially own shares of our common stock which will be released from escrow only in certain limited situations, our board may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate to effect a business combination. The personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business, completing a business combination timely and securing the release of their stock.

·  
In the event we elect to make a substantial down payment, or otherwise incur significant expenses, in connection with a potential business combination, our expenses could exceed the remaining proceeds not held in trust. Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if we incur such excess expenses. Specifically, our officers and directors may tend to favor potential business combinations with target businesses that offer to reimburse any expenses in excess of our available proceeds not held in trust.

·  
Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors were included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to a business combination.

In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:

·  
the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;

·  
the opportunity is within the corporation's line of business; and

·  
it would not be fair to the corporation and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.

Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise when our board evaluates a particular business opportunity with respect to the above-listed criteria. We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor.

In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, each of our officers and directors has agreed in principle, until the earlier of a business combination, our liquidation or such time as he ceases to be an officer or director, to present to us for our consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any business opportunity which may reasonably be required to be presented to us under Delaware law, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary obligations they might have.
 
46

 
Each of our directors has, or may come to have, to a certain degree, other fiduciary obligations. In addition all of our officers and directors have fiduciary obligations to those companies on whose board of directors they sit.

To the extent that they identify business opportunities that may be suitable for the entities to which they owe a fiduciary obligation, our officers and directors will honor those fiduciary obligations. Accordingly, they may not present opportunities to us that otherwise may be attractive to us unless the entities to which they owe a fiduciary obligation and any successors to such entities have declined to accept such opportunities. Additionally, certain of our directors and officers are directors of companies, both public and private, which may perform business activities in the healthcare industry similar to those which we may perform after consummating a business combination. Mr. Pappajohn is a director of the following such public companies: Patient Infosystems, Inc., Allion Healthcare, Inc., Conmed Healthcare Management, Inc. and American CareSource Holdings, Inc. Mr. Pappajohn is a director of the following private company: Partners Imaging LLC. Dr. Schaffer is a director of the following such public companies: Patient Infosystems, Inc., Allion Healthcare, Inc., and American CareSource Holdings, Inc., as well as the following such private companies: Partners Imaging LLC and Source Medical Inc. Mr. Berger is a director of the following public companies: American CareSource Holdings, Inc. and Conmed Healthcare Management, Inc. Mr. Schellhammer is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of American Care Source Holdings, Inc.

In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of our stockholders prior to our initial public offering, including all of our officers and directors, have agreed to vote their respective shares of common stock which were owned prior to our initial public offering in accordance with the vote of the public stockholders owning a majority of the shares of our common stock sold in our initial public offering. Any shares of common stock acquired by such stockholders in the open market will be considered as part of the holdings of public stockholders and will have the same rights as other public stockholders, including voting and conversion rights with respect to a potential business combination, and persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering may thus vote against a proposed business combination with respect to such shares. Accordingly, they may vote on a proposed business combination with respect to shares acquired in the open market any way they so choose. In addition, they have agreed to waive their respective rights to participate in any liquidation distribution occurring upon our failure to consummate a business combination but only with respect to those shares of common stock acquired by them prior to our initial public offering and not with respect to any shares acquired in the open market.

To further minimize potential conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate a business combination with an entity which is affiliated with any of such stockholders unless we obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that the business combination is fair to our stockholders from a financial point of view. We expect that any such opinion will be included in our proxy solicitation materials, furnished to stockholders in connection with their vote on such a business combination.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

None of our executive officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered. Commencing on the effective date of our initial public offering through the acquisition of a target business, we have agreed to pay Equity Dynamics, Inc., an affiliated third party of which Mr. Pappajohn (our Chairman and Secretary) is the President and principal stockholder, and Mr. Kinley (our President and Treasurer) is a Senior Vice President, approximately $7,500 per month for office space and certain additional general and administrative services. A prior arrangement with an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer, Derace Schaffer, M.D., pursuant to which we paid $1,500 a month for office space and certain general and administrative services, as a portion of the $7,500, was terminated on December 31, 2005. During 2006, approximately $90,000 was incurred under these arrangements. This agreement is for our benefit and is not intended to provide Mr. Pappajohn compensation in lieu of a salary. We believe that such fees are at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party. Other than this $7,500 per-month fee, no compensation of any kind, including finder's and consulting fees, will be paid to any of our initial stockholders, including our officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to or in connection with a business combination. However, persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering, including our officers and directors, will receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. After the consummation of a business combination, if any, to the extent our management remains as officers of the resulting business, we anticipate that they may enter into employment agreements, the terms of which shall be negotiated and which we expect to be comparable to employment agreements with other similarly-situated companies in the healthcare industry. Further, after the consummation of a business combination, if any, to the extent our directors remain as directors of the resulting business, we anticipate that they will receive compensation comparable to directors at other similarly- situated companies in the healthcare industry. We urge you to review carefully the preliminary proxy statement filed with the SEC for more information in this regard.

Performance Graph

We have not included the performance graph index as we became a reporting company on July 28, 2005 and have not conducted any operations except to locate an acquisition candidate. We do not expect that our securities will trade at prices much different than the amounts paid for such securities in our initial public offering until such time that we complete a business combination, if we are able to do so.

All of the shares of our common stock outstanding prior to our initial public were placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, until the earliest of:

·  
July 28, 2008; or

·  
the consummation of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to our consummating a business combination with a target business.

During the escrow period, the holders of these shares are not be able to sell or transfer their securities except to their spouses and children or trusts established for their benefit, but will retain all other rights as our stockholders, including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares of common stock and the right to receive cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in shares of common stock, such dividends will also be placed in escrow. If we are unable to effect a business combination and liquidate, none of these stockholders will receive any portion of the liquidation proceeds with respect to common stock owned by them prior to our initial public offering.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

In April 2005, we issued 1,500,000 shares of our common stock to the individuals set forth below for an aggregate amount of $25,000 in cash, at an average purchase price of approximately $0.0167 per share, as follows:

Name
 
Number of Shares
 
Relationship to Us
John Pappajohn

Derace L. Schaffer, M.D.
 
600,000
 
Vice-Chairman and CEO
Matthew P. Kinley
 
300,000
 
President, Treasurer and Director

Further, in June 2005, Mr. Pappajohn, Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Kinley transferred, for an aggregate consideration per share which they paid us and pro rata to their ownership of our common stock, an aggregate of 30,000 shares of our common stock equally to Mr. Berger and Mr. Schellhammer.

On July 8, 2005, our board of directors authorized a stock dividend of approximately .333333 shares of common stock for each outstanding share of common stock, effectively lowering the initial purchase price to approximately $.0125 per share.

On July 22, 2005, our board of directors authorized a stock dividend of approximately .125 shares of common stock for each outstanding share of common stock, effectively lowering the initial purchase price to approximately $.0111 per share.
 
53

 
The holders of the majority of these shares will be entitled to require us, on up to two occasions, to register these shares. The holders of the majority of these shares may elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the date on which these shares of common stock are released from escrow. In addition, these stockholders have certain "piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to the date on which these shares of common stock are released from escrow. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

In connection with our initial public offering, Mr. Pappajohn, Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Kinley loaned us a total of $250,000 which was used to pay a portion of the expenses of our initial public offering, such as SEC registration fees, NASD registration fees, AMEX listing fees and legal and accounting fees and expenses. These loans were repaid out of the net proceeds of our initial public offering not placed in trust.

In accordance with their agreement with the representative of the underwriters in our initial public offering, Mr. Pappajohn, Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Kinley purchased, pursuant to the guidelines set forth in SEC Rule 10b5-1 in connection with Rule 10b5-1 plans, an aggregate of 354,900 of our warrants, for aggregate consideration of $386,070, on the open market at prices up to $1.20 per warrant. The Rule 10b5-1 plans terminated on January 6, 2006, and no further purchases are planned.

We agreed to pay Equity Dynamics, Inc., an affiliated third party of which Mr. Pappajohn is the President and principal stockholder, and Mr. Kinley a Senior Vice President, approximately $7,500 per month for office space and certain additional general and administrative services. A prior arrangement with an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer, Derace Schaffer, M.D., pursuant to which we paid $1,500 a month for office space and certain general and administrative services, as a portion of the $7,500, was terminated on December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2006, we have paid approximately $127,500 under these arrangements.

We will reimburse our officers and directors for any reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of accountable out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us, which will be reviewed only by our board or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged. As of December 31, 2006, we have reimbursed such persons an aggregate of $118,423 in connection with these activities

Persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering, including our officers and directors, will not receive reimbursement for any out-of- pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount in the trust fund unless the business combination is consummated and there are sufficient funds available for reimbursement after such consummation. The financial interest of such persons could influence their motivation in selecting a target business and thus, there may be a conflict of interest when determining whether a particular business combination is in the stockholders’ best interest.

Other than the reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses payable to our officers and directors, no compensation or fees of any kind, including finders and consulting fees, will be paid to any persons who were stockholders prior to our initial public offering, officers or directors who owned our common stock prior to our initial public offering, or to any of their respective affiliates for services rendered to us prior to or with respect to the business combination.

After the consummation of a business combination, if any, to the extent our management remains as officers of the resulting business, we anticipate that our officers and directors may enter into employment agreements, the terms of which shall be negotiated and which we expect to be comparable to employment agreements with other similarly-situated companies in the healthcare industry. Further, after the consummation of a business combination, if any, to the extent our directors remain as directors of the resulting business, we anticipate that they will receive compensation comparable to directors at other similarly-situated companies in the healthcare industry.
 
54

 
All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates, including loans by our officers and directors, will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable than are available from unaffiliated third parties and such transactions or loans, including any forgiveness of loans, will require prior approval in each instance by a majority of our uninterested "independent" directors (to the extent we have any) or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

Description of Professional Services

Audit Fees. The aggregate fees for professional services rendered by LWBJ, LLP (LWBJ) for the audit of the Company's financial statements for fiscal year 2006, which includes fees related to the initial public offering and related audits, review of financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and the 2006 year end audit were approximately $26,000.

Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related fees are for assurance and related services including, among others, consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. There were no aggregate fees billed for audit-related services rendered by LWBJ.

Tax Fees. Fees for professional services rendered by LWBJ for tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 were approximately $1,500.

All Other Fees. Fees paid to LWBJ for services other than audit services and audit-related services rendered by LWBJ for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 were approximately $4,000.

Pre-Approval Policies

The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation, and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. The Audit Committee has established a policy regarding pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor. A centralized service request function is used to provide an initial assessment of requests for services by the independent auditor. The request must be specific as to the particular services to be provided. Requests approved during the initial assessment are aggregated and submitted to the Audit committee for final approval. The independent auditor may not perform services, whether associated with audit or non-audit functions, unless the services have been approved prior to their performance by the Company’s Audit Committee. Each fiscal year, the Audit Committee negotiates and pre-approves the fee for the annual audit of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Healthcare Acquisition Corp.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 and the period from April 25, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, and the period from April 25, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006, the period from April 25, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2005, and the period from April 25, 2005 (inception) to December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

HEALTHCARE ACQUISITION CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2006

1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations 

Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on April 25, 2005, as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, an operating business.

Primarily all activity through December 31, 2006 relates to the Company's formation, the public offering described below and evaluation of prospective target businesses. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year-end. The registration statement for the Company's initial public offering ("Offering") was declared effective July 28, 2005. The Company consummated the Offering on August 3, 2005 (and further consummated the sale of 400,000 units subject to the underwriters' over-allotment option on August 16, 2005) and received net proceeds of approximately $69,450,000 (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 the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination with an operating domestic or international company in the healthcare industry, a "target business".

In evaluating a prospective target business, the Company will consider, among other factors, the financial condition and results of operation; growth potential; experience and skill of management; availability of additional personnel; capital requirements; competitive position; barriers to entry into other industries; stage of development of the products, processes or services; degree of current or potential market acceptance of the products, processes or services; proprietary features and degree of intellectual property or other protection of the products, processes or services; regulatory environment of the industry; and costs associated with effecting the business combination. These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular business combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors, as well as other considerations deemed relevant by the Company in effecting a business combination consistent with its business objective.

There are no assurances the Company will be able to successfully effect a business combination. An amount of $67,928,000 or approximately 90.3% of the gross proceeds of this offering (approximately $7.23 per unit) are being held in an interest-bearing trust account at JP Morgan Chase NY Bank maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company ("Trust Fund") and invested in United States Treasury Bills or short-term securities having a maturity of one hundred eighty (180) days or less, until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company's first business combination or (ii) the liquidation of the Company. In October 2005, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to the Investment Management Trust Agreement by and among the Company, Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company and Maxim Group, LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the Company is permitted to invest the funds held in trust not only in treasury bills having a maturity of 180 days or less, but also in any money market fund meeting the requirements of a "cash item" as set forth in Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and any regulations, no-action letters, exemptive orders or interpretations promulgated thereunder. The Company believes that the Amendment will allow it greater flexibility in investing the funds held in trust from its initial public offering, as well as reducing its tax liability, by allowing the Company to invest in tax-free money market funds. The placing of funds in the Trust Fund may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company 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 Fund, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. The Company's officers have severally agreed that they will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Fund are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to the Company. However, there can be no assurance that the officers will be able to satisfy those obligations. The remaining proceeds, not held in trust, may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting expenses, expenses which may be incurred related to the investigation and selection of a target business, and the negotiation of an agreement to acquire a target business, and for continuing general and administrative expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

1.
Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Nature of Operations (continued)

The Company's first business combination must be with a business with a fair market value of at least 80% of the Company's net asset value at the time of acquisition. 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 20% or more of the outstanding stock excluding, for this purpose, those persons who were stockholders prior to the Offering, vote against the business combination or request their conversion right as 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 2,250,000 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 the Company's first business combination, all of these voting safeguards will no longer be applicable.

With respect to the first business combination which is approved and consummated, any Public Stockholder who voted against the business combination may demand that the Company redeem his or her shares. The per share redemption price will equal the amount in the Trust Fund as of the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote on 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 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all Public Stockholders may seek redemption of their shares in the event of a business combination. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their per share interest in the Trust Fund computed, without regard to the shares held by Initial Stockholders. Accordingly, a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering (19.99% of the amount held in the Trust Fund) has been classified as common stock subject to possible conversion in the accompanying December 31, 2006 balance sheet and 19.99% of the related interest earned on cash held in the Trust Fund has been recorded as deferred revenue.

1.
Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
The Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for mandatory liquidation of the Company, without stockholder approval, in the event that the Company does not consummate a business combination within eighteen (18) months from the date of the consummation of the Offering, or twenty-four (24) months from the consummation of the Offering if certain extension criteria have been satisfied. Having satisfied the extension criteria, the Company now has until August 3, 2007 to complete its business combination (see proposed merger discussed in Note 10.). 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 to be offered in the Offering discussed in Note 2.)

Net Income Per Common 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.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares (the denominator) for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. The denominator in the calculation is based on the following weighted-average number of common shares at December 31:

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments consist of Warrants issued as part of the Offering, as described in Note 2, and a Purchase Option that was sold to an underwriter as described in Note 5. Based on Emerging Issues Task Force 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settle in, a Company's Own Stock, the issuance of the Warrants and sale of the Purchase Option were reported in permanent equity and accordingly, there is no impact on the Company's financial position and results of operation, except for the $100 in proceeds from sale of the Purchase Option. Subsequent changes in fair value will not be recognized as long as the Warrants and Purchase Option continue to be classified as equity instruments.

At date of issuance the Company had determined the Purchase Option had a fair market value of approximately $850,000 using a Black-Scholes pricing model.

On January 23, 2007, the Company entered into agreements to clarify the terms of the Warrants and Purchase Option as follows: (1) if a registration statement covering the securities issuable upon the exercise of a Warrant or the Purchase Option was not effective at the time a holder desired to exercise the instrument, then the Warrant or Purchase Option could expire unexercised, and (2) in no event would the Company be obligated to pay cash or other consideration to the holders of the Warrants or the Purchase Option or “net-cash settle” the obligations of the Company under any such agreements.
 
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.

Income Taxes

Current tax expense related entirely to state taxes, amounted to $187,000 and $48,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

At December 31, 2006, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes of approximately $1,055,000, which is available to offset future federal taxable income.

Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company recorded a deferred income tax asset for the tax effect of net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences related to revenue recognition aggregating to approximately $576,000 and $145,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In recognition of the uncertainty regarding the ultimate amount of income tax benefits to be derived, the Company had recorded a full valuation allowance at December 31, 2006 and 2005.

1.
Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to substantially all interest being tax exempt for federal tax purposes and the valuation allowance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognition, interest and penalties, and disclosure. The Company will adopt FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007, and does not expect the adoption of this interpretation to have a material impact on its Financial Statements.

2.
Initial Public Offering
 
On July 28, 2005, the Company sold 9,000,000 units ("Units") in the Offering. On August 16, 2005 an additional 400,000 Units were sold. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company's common stock, $.0001 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 completion of a business combination with a target business or one (1) year from the effective date of the Offering and expiring four (4) years from the effective date of the Offering. The Warrants will be redeemable by the Company at a price of $.01 per Warrant, upon thirty (30) days notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sales price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any twenty (20) trading days within a thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third day prior to date on which notice of redemption is given. The Warrants began trading separately from the Company's common stock on October 5, 2005.In connection with the Offering, the Company paid the underwriter a discount of 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and a non-accountable expense allowance of 1% of the gross proceeds of the Offering.

3.
Notes Payable, Stockholders

The Company issued unsecured promissory notes to three Initial Stockholders, amounting to $250,000, who are also officers. These notes were non-interest bearing and were repaid from the proceeds of this Offering.

4.
Unit Option

In connection with the Offering, the Company issued to the representative of the underwriters for $100, an option to purchase up to a total of 225,000 units, exercisable at $10 per unit ("Purchase Option"). In lieu of payment of the exercise price in cash, the holder of the Purchase Option has the right (but not the obligation) to convert any exercisable portion of the Purchase Option into units using a cashless exercise based on the difference between current market value of the units and its exercise price. The Warrants issued in conjunction with these units are identical to those offered by the prospectus, except that they have an exercise price of $7.50 (125% of the exercise price of the warrants included in the Units sold in the offering). This option commences on the later of the consummation of a business combination and one (1) year from the date of the prospectus and expiring five (5) years from the date of the prospectus. Additionally, the option may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a one-year period (including the foregoing 180-day period) following July 28, 2005. However, the option may be transferred to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their bona fide officers or partners. The purchase option grants to holders demand and "piggy back" rights for periods of five (5) and seven (7) years, respectively, from July 28, 2005 with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the option. The Company will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities, other than underwriting commissions, which will be paid for by the holders themselves. 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, or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price.

5.
Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company presently occupies office space in one location, provided by an affiliate of an Initial Stockholder. This 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 currently pays this affiliate $7,500 per month for such services under an office services agreement. Upon completion of a business combination or liquidation, the Company will no longer be required to pay this monthly fee.
 
The Company has engaged a representative of the underwriters, on a non-exclusive basis, as its agent for the solicitation of the exercise of the Warrants. To the extent not inconsistent with the guidelines of the NASD and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company has agreed to pay the representative for bona fide services rendered, a commission equal to 4% of the exercise price for each Warrant exercised more than one (1) year after July 28, 2005 if the exercise was solicited by the underwriters. In addition to soliciting, either orally or in writing, the exercise of the Warrants, the representative's services may also include disseminating information, either orally or in writing, to Warrant holders about the Company or the market for its securities, and assisting in the processing of the exercise of the Warrants. No compensation will be paid to the representative upon the exercise of the Warrants if:

HEALTHCARE ACQUISITION CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

·  
the market price of the underlying shares of common stock is lower than the exercise price;
   
·  
the holder of the Warrants has not confirmed in writing that the underwriters solicited the exercise;
   
·  
the Warrants are held in a discretionary account;
   
·  
the Warrants are exercised in an unsolicited transaction; or
   
·  
the arrangement to pay the commission is not disclosed in the prospectus provided to Warrant holders at the time of exercise.

The Initial Stockholders, who are holders of 2,250,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement signed on the effective date of the Offering. The holders of the majority of these shares are entitled to request the Company, on up to two (2) occasions, to register these shares. The holders of the majority of these shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the date on which these shares of common stock are released from escrow. In addition, these stockholders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to the date on which these shares of common stock are released from escrow. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

6.
Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences, as may be determined from time to time by the board of directors.

7.
Common Stock

On July 8, 2005, the Company's board of directors authorized a .333333 to 1 stock dividend. On July 22, 2005, the Company's board of directors authorized a .125 to 1 stock dividend. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of shares of stock have been retroactively restated to reflect these transactions.

8.
Common Stock Warrants

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 completion of a business combination with a target business or one (1) year from the effective date of the Offering and expiring four (4) years from the effective date of the Offering. The Warrants will be redeemable by the Company at a price of $.01 per Warrant, upon thirty (30) days notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sales price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any twenty (20) trading days within a thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third day prior to date on which notice of redemption is given. The warrants began trading separately from the Company's common stock on October 6, 2005.

Subsequent Event

On January 19, 2007, the Company signed a plan of merger with PharmAthene, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, and subject to certain adjustments as hereafter described, PharmAthene stockholders and noteholders will receive:
 
 
(i)
an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock;
     
 
(ii)
$12,500,000 in 8% convertible notes of the Company in exchange for $11,800,000 of currently-outstanding 8% convertible PharmAthene notes, pursuant to a Note Exchange Agreement; and
     
 
(iii)
up to $10,000,000 in milestone payments (if certain conditions are met).
 
It is anticipated that shareholders of PharmAthene, Inc. will own at least 52% of the outstanding basic shares of the combined company, which is anticipated to remain listed on the American Stock Exchange. The transaction is subject to certain approvals required by the Company and PharmAthene, Inc. shareholders as described in their articles of incorporation (see Note 1 for the Company’s requirements), and as prescribed by the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange, as well as other regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

In connection with the above, effective January 19, 2007, the Company entered into an advisory agreement related to the Company’s merger with PharmAthene, Inc. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company will pay a success fee of $500,000 upon successful completion of the transaction. The Company will also pay expenses, not to exceed an aggregate of $15,000, regardless of the successful closing of the transaction.
