To the Stockholders of Healthcare Acquisition Corp.:

You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of the stockholders of Healthcare Acquisition Corp., or HAQ, to be held on ________, 2007. At the meeting you will be asked to consider proposals relating to the proposed merger of PAI Acquisition Corp., referred to in the attached proxy statement as Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ, into PharmAthene, Inc., referred to in the proxy statement as PharmAthene, resulting in PharmAthene becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ. PharmAthene is a privately-held company engaged in the biodefense industry, specifically the discovery and development of new human therapeutics and prophylactics for the treatment and prevention of morbidity and mortality from exposure to chemical and biological weapons.  

The special meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on _________, 2007, at the offices of _______________________________________ (the “Special Meeting”). At this important meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

·
the Merger Proposal- the proposed merger with PharmAthene, Inc. (the “Merger”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 19, 2007, by and among HAQ, Merger Sub and PharmAthene, and the transactions contemplated thereby, whereby PharmAthene will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ (“Proposal 1” or the “Merger Proposal”) and the stockholders, optionholders, warrantholders and noteholders of PharmAthene shall receive the following consideration:
 
(i)  an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock;
   
(ii)
$12,500,000 in 8% convertible notes issued by HAQ; and
   
(iii) up to $10,000,000 in milestone payments (if certain conditions are met).
 
·
the Amendment Proposal - the amendment to HAQ's  amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation Amendment”), to: (i) change HAQ's name from “Healthcare Acquisition Corp.” to “PharmAthene, Inc.”; (ii) remove certain provisions containing procedural and approval requirements applicable to HAQ 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 the Board of Directors of HAQ for so long as at least 30% of the original face value of such notes remain outstanding (“Proposal 2” or the “Amendment Proposal”);

·
the Incentive Plan Proposal - the adoption of the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) pursuant to which HAQ will reserve 3,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the Plan (“Proposal 3” or the “Incentive Plan Proposal”);

·
the Adjournment Proposal - the adjournment of the Special Meeting (the “Adjournment”), if necessary and appropriate, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes for the foregoing proposals (“Proposal 4” or the “Adjournment Proposal”); and

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

HAQ's shares of common stock and warrants are listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbols HAQ and HAQ-WT, respectively. If each of the Merger Proposal, the Amendment Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal are approved, the operations and assets of PharmAthene will become those of HAQ, and HAQ's name will be changed to “PharmAthene, Inc.” upon consummation of the Merger.

After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the proposed merger with PharmAthene, the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment, the adoption of the Incentive Plan and the Adjournment, the the Board of Directors of HAQ has determined that such proposals and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, HAQ and its stockholders. Such determination with respect to the proposed Merger was based, in part, upon its negotiations with respect to the final purchase price of PharmAthene as well as various other factors as described in the enclosed Proxy Statement. No fairness opinion was sought or obtained by the Board of Directors in reaching its determination. HAQ's initial stockholders, including all of its directors and officers and their affiliates, who purchased or received shares of common stock prior to HAQ's IPO, presently own an aggregate of approximately 19.3% of the outstanding shares of HAQ common stock, and all of these stockholders have agreed to vote the shares acquired prior to the IPO in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other HAQ stockholders on the Merger Proposal. The Board of Directors of HAQ unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote: (i) “FOR” the Merger Proposal; (ii)  “FOR” the Amendment Proposal; (iii) “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal; and (iv) “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, all as described in Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively, in the attached proxy statement.
 


Enclosed is a Notice of Special Meeting and proxy statement containing detailed information concerning the proposed Merger, the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment, the Incentive Plan and the Adjournment. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Sincerely,

John Pappajohn
Chairman of the Board
and Secretary

The proxy statement is dated ______________, 2007 and is first being mailed to HAQ stockholders on or about ____________, 2007.

YOU MUST AFFIRMATIVELY VOTE AGAINST THE MERGER PROPOSAL AND DEMAND THAT HAQ CONVERT YOUR SHARES INTO CASH NO LATER THAN THE CLOSE OF THE VOTE ON THE MERGER PROPOSAL TO EXERCISE YOUR CONVERSION RIGHTS.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON _________, 2007

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF HEALTHCARE ACQUISITION CORP.:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), including any adjournments or postponements thereof, of Healthcare Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“HAQ”), will be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on ________, 2007, at the offices of ______________________________, at which you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following:

·
the Merger Proposal - the proposed merger with PharmAthene, Inc. (the “Merger”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 19, 2007, by and among HAQ, Merger Sub and PharmAthene, and the transactions contemplated thereby, whereby PharmAthene will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ (“Proposal 1” or the “Merger Proposal”) and the stockholders, optionholders, warrantholders and noteholders of PharmAthene shall receive the following consideration:

 
(i)
an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock;
     
 
(ii)
$12,500,000 in 8% convertible notes issued by HAQ; and
     
 
(iii)
up to $10,000,000 in milestone payments (if certain conditions are met).

·
the Amendment Proposal - the amendment to HAQ's  amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation Amendment”), to: (i) change HAQ's name from “Healthcare Acquisition Corp.” to “PharmAthene, Inc.”; (ii) remove certain provisions containing procedural and approval requirements applicable to HAQ 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 the Board of Directors of HAQ for so long as at least 30% of the original face value of such notes remain outstanding (“Proposal 2” or the “Amendment Proposal”);

·
the Incentive Plan Proposal - the adoption of the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) pursuant to which HAQ will reserve 3,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the Plan (“Proposal 3” or the “Incentive Plan Proposal”);

·
the Adjournment Proposal - the adjournment of the Special Meeting (the “Adjournment”), if necessary and appropriate, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes for the foregoing proposals (“Proposal 4” or the “Adjournment Proposal”); and

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

These proposals are described in the attached proxy statement which HAQ urges you to read in its entirety before voting.

Each of the the Amendment Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal are conditioned upon the approval of the Merger Proposal and, in the event the Merger Proposal does not receive the necessary vote to approve that proposal, then HAQ will not complete any of the transactions identified in any of the proposals. If the Merger proposal is approved but the Amendment Proposal or Incentive Plan are not approved, we may still consummate the Merger if PharmAthene waives these conditions. Adoption of the Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.

Although no fairness opinion was obtained with respect to the Merger Proposal, the Board of Directors of HAQ has determined that the terms of the Merger are in the best interest of and fair to the stockholders. Such determination with respect to the proposed Merger was based, in part, upon the Board’s negotiations with respect to the purchase price of PharmAthene as well as various other factors as described in the enclosed Proxy Statement.
 


The Board of Directors of HAQ has fixed the close of business on ____________, 2007, as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting and at any adjournment thereof. A list of the stockholders entitled to vote as of the Record Date at the Special Meeting will be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of ten calendar days before the Special Meeting at HAQ’s offices at 2116 Financial Center, 666 Walnut Street, Des Moines, Iowa, 50309 and at the time and place of the meeting during the duration of the meeting.

HAQ will not transact any other business at the Special Meeting, except for business properly brought before the Special Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, by HAQ's Board of Directors.

Your vote is important. Please sign, date and return your proxy card as soon as possible to make sure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record of HAQ common stock, you may also cast your vote in person at the Special Meeting. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares.

For purposes of Proposal 1, under our certificate of incorporation, approval of the Merger Proposal will require (i) the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of HAQ’s common stock issued in our initial public offering completed in July 2005 (“IPO”) that vote on this proposal at the Special Meeting; and (ii) not more than 20% of the shares of HAQ’s common stock issued in HAQ's IPO vote against the Merger Proposal and elect a cash conversion of their shares. For purposes of Proposal 2, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of HAQ’s common stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date is required to approve the Amendment Proposal. For purposes of Proposal 3, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of HAQ’s common stock that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is required to approve the Incentive Plan Proposal. For purposes of Proposal 4, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of HAQ’s common stock that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote is required to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting. Each of the Amendment Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal are conditioned upon the approval of the Merger Proposal and, in the event the Merger Proposal does not receive the necessary vote to approve that proposal, then HAQ will not complete any of the transactions identified in any of the proposals. If the Merger Proposal is approved but the Amendment Proposal or Incentive Plan are not approved, we may still consummate the Merger if these proposals, which are conditions to the Merger, are waived by the parties. Therefore, if Proposal 1 is not approved, we will not adopt either the Amendment Proposal or the Incentive Plan Proposal. If the Merger Proposal is not approved, it is likely that HAQ will have insufficient time and resources to seek another suitable business combination and will have to commence the winding up, dissolution and liquidation of HAQ, including the liquidation of the trust account and distribution of the trust proceeds, in accordance with the terms of HAQ’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the agreement with respect to the trust and Delaware law. In order to do so, under Delaware law, HAQ will be required to obtain stockholder approval for its plan of dissolution. The funds held in HAQ’s trust account may not be distributed except upon HAQ’s dissolution and, unless and until such approval is obtained from its stockholders, the funds held in HAQ’s trust account will not be released. Consequently, holders of a majority of HAQ’s outstanding stock must approve its dissolution in order to receive the funds held in its trust account and the funds will not be available for any other corporate purpose.

In addition, each HAQ stockholder who holds shares of common stock issued in HAQ's IPO or purchased following the IPO in the open market has the right to vote against the Merger Proposal and, at the same time, demand that HAQ convert such stockholder's shares into cash equal to a pro rata portion of the proceeds in the trust account, including interest, which as of December 31, 2006 is equal to $7.54 per share. If the Merger is not completed, then your shares will not immediately be converted into cash, even if you so elected because we must satisfy the liquidation procedures under Delaware law. If the Merger is not approved, HAQ expects that it will commence the process to seek stockholder approval for its plan of dissolution and liquidation of the trust account within 5 business days after the Special Meeting. We cannot assure you that our stockholders will approve our dissolution in a timely manner or will ever approve our dissolution. As a result, we cannot provide investors with assurances of a specific time frame for our dissolution. If the holders of 1,880,000 or more shares of HAQ’s common stock, an amount equal to 20% or more of the total number of shares issued in the IPO, vote against the Merger and demand conversion of their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, then HAQ will not be able to consummate the Merger. HAQ's initial stockholders, including all of its directors and officers and their affiliates, who purchased or received shares of common stock prior to HAQ's IPO, presently own an aggregate of approximately 19.3% of the outstanding shares of HAQ common stock, and all of these stockholders have agreed to vote the shares acquired prior to the IPO in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other HAQ stockholders on the Merger Proposal.
 


YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. WHETHER YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE SPECIAL MEETING OR NOT, PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN THE ENVELOPE PROVIDED. IF YOU RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD WITHOUT AN INDICATION OF HOW YOU WISH TO VOTE, SINCE IT IS NOT AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE IN FAVOR OF A RESPECTIVE PROPOSAL, IT (I) WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS A VOTE AGAINST THE MERGER PROPOSAL BUT WILL NOT HAVE THE EFFECT OF CONVERTING YOUR SHARES INTO A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE TRUST ACCOUNT IN WHICH A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE NET PROCEEDS OF HAQ'S IPO ARE HELD, UNLESS AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE AGAINST THE MERGER PROPOSAL IS MADE AND AN AFFIRMATIVE ELECTION TO CONVERT SUCH SHARES OF COMMON STOCK IS MADE ON THE PROXY CARD, (II) WILL BE TREATED AS A VOTE AGAINST THE AMENDMENT PROPOSAL AND, (III) WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS A VOTE AGAINST THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.

SEE THE SECTION ENTITLED “RISK FACTORS'' BEGINNING ON PAGE 25 FOR A DISCUSSION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER WITH PHARMATHENE SINCE, UPON THE MERGER WITH PHARMATHENE, THE OPERATIONS AND ASSETS OF HAQ WILL LARGELY BE THOSE OF PHARMATHENE.

The attached proxy statement incorporates important business and financial information about HAQ and PharmAthene that is not included in or delivered with this document. This information is available without charge to security holders upon written or oral request. The request should be sent to: Matthew Kinley, President of HAQ at 2116 Financial Center, 666 Walnut Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50309, or by calling him at (515) 244-5746.

To obtain timely delivery of requested materials, security holders must request the information no later than five days before the date they submit their proxies or attend the Special Meeting. The latest date to request the information to be received timely is ________, 2007.

We are soliciting the proxy on behalf of the Board of Directors, and we will pay all costs of preparing, assembling and mailing the proxy materials. In addition to mailing out proxy materials, HAQ’s officers may solicit proxies by telephone or fax, without receiving any additional compensation for their services. We have requested brokers, banks and other fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our stock.
 
The Board of Directors of HAQ unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” Proposal 1, the Merger Proposal, “FOR” Proposal 2, the Amendment Proposal, “FOR” Proposal 3, the Incentive Plan Proposal and “FOR” Proposal 4, the Adjournment Proposal.
 
By Order of the Board of Directors,
 
John Pappajohn
Chairman of the Board

PROXY STATEMENT FOR SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF
HEALTHCARE ACQUISITION CORP.

The Board of Directors of Healthcare Acquisition Corp., or HAQ, has unanimously approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 19, 2007, among HAQ, Merger Sub and PharmAthene (the “Merger Agreement”) and the Merger contemplated thereby (the “Merger”), whereby HAQ will acquire all of the outstanding securities held by the stockholders of PharmAthene and PharmAthene will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ. If the Merger Proposal is not approved, then the Merger will not be consummated. In such event, it is likely that HAQ will have insufficient time and resources to pursue an alternative business combination and will be forced to liquidate the trust which was established at the time of HAQ’s initial public offering and which contains substantially all of the proceeds from the initial public offering. The liquidation will be in accordance with our existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation and applicable Delaware law, as described elsewhere in our proxy statement.

If the Merger is consummated and you vote your shares in favor of the Merger Proposal, you will continue to hold the HAQ securities that you currently own. If the Merger is consummated but you have voted your shares against the Merger Proposal and have elected a cash conversion instead, your HAQ shares will be cancelled and you will receive cash equal to a pro rata portion of the trust account, which, as of December 31, 2006, was equal to approximately $7.54 per share. The stockholders (including holders of its options, warrants and notes) of PharmAthene will receive 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock, subject to possible adjustment, $12,500,000 in 8% convertible notes issued by HAQ and possible milestone payments of up to $10,000,000 in exchange for their shares of capital stock (or applicable options, warrants or notes) of PharmAthene.

HAQ's common stock and warrants are currently listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbols HAQ and HAQ-WT, respectively. Upon consummation of the Merger, PharmAthene will become HAQ's wholly-owned subsidiary and HAQ's name will be changed to “PharmAthene, Inc.” We will also change the current name of PharmAthene to _____________. HAQ's common stock and warrants will continue to be traded on the American Stock Exchange, although we anticipate seeking to change our trading symbols.

We believe that, generally, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger with PharmAthene will have no direct tax effect on stockholders of HAQ. However, if you vote against the Merger Proposal and elect a cash conversion of your shares of HAQ common stock into your pro-rata portion of the trust account and as a result receive cash in exchange for your HAQ shares, there may be certain tax consequences, such as realizing a loss on your investment in HAQ’s shares. WE URGE YOU TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING YOUR PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES.

This proxy statement provides you with detailed information about the proposed Merger, the proposed Certificate of Incorporation Amendment, the proposed Incentive Plan, the proposed Adjournment and the Special Meeting. We encourage you to carefully read this entire document and the documents incorporated by reference, including the Merger Agreement, the form of Certificate of Incorporation Amendment and the proposed Incentive Plan which are attached hereto as Annexes A, B and C, respectively. YOU SHOULD ALSO CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISK FACTORS BEGINNING ON PAGE ___ .

The Merger cannot be consummated unless at least a majority of the shares of HAQ's common stock issued in HAQ's IPO and voting at the Special Meeting (whether in person or by proxy) approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and less than 20% of the shares of HAQ's common stock issued in HAQ's IPO vote against the Merger Proposal and elect a cash conversion of their shares.

HAQ’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the proposed Merger, the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment, adoption of the proposed Incentive Plan and unanimously recommends that you vote or instruct your vote to be cast  “FOR” Proposal 1, the Merger Proposal, “FOR” Proposal 2, the Amendment Proposal, “FOR” Proposal 3, the Incentive Plan Proposal and “FOR” Proposal 4, the Adjournment Proposal.

This proxy statement incorporates important business and financial information about HAQ and PharmAthene that is not included in or delivered with this document. This information is available without charge to security holders upon written or oral request. The request should be sent to:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS

Why am I receiving this proxy statement?
 
HAQ and PharmAthene have agreed to a business combination under the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 19, 2007, among HAQ, PAI Acquisition Corp., a newly-formed subsidiary of HAQ (“Merger Sub”) and PharmAthene, Inc. (“PharmAthene”) pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged (the “Merger”) with and into PharmAthene. This agreement is referred to as the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A, which we encourage you to review in its entirety.
 
In order to consummate the Merger, under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a majority of the shares issued in the IPO voting at the meeting (whether in person or by proxy) must vote to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Also, not more than 20% of such shares can elect to convert their shares to cash from the trust account established with the proceeds of our IPO.
 
HAQ will hold a Special Meeting of its stockholders to obtain this approval. This proxy statement contains important information about the proposed merger and the Amendment Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal. You should read it carefully.
 
Your vote is important. We encourage you to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement.
 
What is being voted on?

There are three proposals on which you are being asked to vote. The first proposal is to approve and adopt a Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. As a consequence of the Merger, PharmAthene will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ.

The second proposal is to approve an amendment to HAQ's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, subject to consummation of the Merger, to:

·
change HAQ's name to “PharmAthene, Inc.” after the Merger; 

·
remove certain provisions that will no longer be operative to HAQ as an operating company upon consummation of the Merger; and

·
grant to the holders of the 8% convertible notes to be issued as part of the Merger the right to designate three members to the Board of Directors of HAQ ( and two out of three members of each Board committee) for so long as at least 30% of the original face value of such notes remain outstanding. 

The third proposal is to approve the adoption of the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan, or the Incentive Plan, pursuant to which 3,500,000 of shares of HAQ common stock will be reserved for issuance in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Plan (including approximately 465,961 shares reserved to honor options issued by PharmAthene which will be assumed by HAQ pursuant to the Merger Agreement).

The fourth proposal is to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, HAQ would not have been authorized to consummate the Merger.

It is important for you to note that in the event the Merger Proposal does not receive the necessary vote to approve such proposal, then HAQ will not consummate that proposal or the other proposals and HAQ will be forced to liquidate. If the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Amendment Proposal is not approved, but the Merger Proposal is approved, HAQ may still consummate the Merger if the conditions in the Merger Agreement requiring approval of these proposals are waived.

What is a quorum?

A quorum is the number of shares that must be represented, in person or by proxy, in order for business to be transacted at the Special Meeting.

More than one-half of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the record date (a quorum) must be represented, either in person or by proxy, in order to transact business at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. If there is no quorum, a majority of the shares present at the Special Meeting may adjourn the Special Meeting to another date.

However, in order to vote on Proposal 1, more than one-half of the shares of our common stock purchased in our IPO must be represented (4,700,001 shares), because only the holders of those shares may vote on the Merger Proposal.

Why is HAQ proposing the Merger, the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment and the adoption of the Incentive Plan?

HAQ is a blank-check company formed specifically as a vehicle for the acquisition of or merger with a business whose net assets are at least 80% of the net assets of HAQ. In the course of HAQ's search for a business combination partner, HAQ was introduced to PharmAthene, a company which the Board of Directors of HAQ believes has significant growth potential. PharmAthene is in the business of discovering and developing novel human therapeutics and prophylactics for the treatment and prevention of morbidity from exposure to biological and chemical weapons. The Board of Directors of HAQ found PharmAthene to be an attractive merger partner because of the industry in which it operates, its existing products, growth prospects and management team, among other factors. As a result, HAQ believes that the Merger will provide HAQ stockholders with an opportunity to participate in a company with significant growth potential. The Certificate of Incorporation Amendment is being undertaken because upon consummation of the Merger, (i) management desires the name of the business to reflect its operations, (ii) there are provisions in the certificate of incorporation which will no longer be applicable and, (iii) pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, HAQ has agreed that, as a consequence of the Merger, noteholders will have the right to appoint members to the Board of Directors. The adoption of the Incentive Plan is being undertaken because the Board of Directors of HAQ deems it beneficial for the combined company going forward following the Merger to have incentives available to attract and retain employees and to honor options held by PharmAthene employees which will be assumed as part of the Merger.

What vote is required in order to approve the Merger Proposal?

The approval of the Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Special Meeting of the shares of common stock issued as part of HAQ's IPO. We issued 9,400,000 shares as part of our IPO. In addition, not more than 20% of such shares (1,880,000 shares) may vote against the Merger and elect to convert their shares into cash from the trust account.

What happens if I vote against the Merger?

Each HAQ stockholder who holds shares of common stock issued in HAQ's IPO or purchased following such offering in the open market has the right to vote against the Merger Proposal and, at the same time, demand that HAQ convert such stockholder's shares into cash equal to a pro rata portion of the trust account. These shares will be converted into cash only if the Merger is consummated. Based on the amount of cash held in the trust account as of December 31, 2006, without taking into account any interest accrued after such date, stockholders who vote against the Merger Proposal and elect to convert such stockholder's shares as described above will be entitled to convert each share of common stock that it holds into approximately $7.54 per share. However, if the holders of 1,880,000 or more shares of common stock issued in HAQ's IPO (an amount equal to 20% or more of the total number of shares issued in the IPO), vote against the Merger and demand conversion of their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, then HAQ will not be able to consummate the Merger.

How is Management of HAQ voting?

HAQ's initial stockholders, including all of its directors and officers, who purchased or received shares of common stock prior to HAQ's IPO, presently, together with their affiliates, own an aggregate of approximately 19.3% of the outstanding shares of HAQ common stock (an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares). All of these persons have agreed to vote all of these shares which were acquired prior to the IPO in accordance with the vote of the majority interest of all other HAQ stockholders on the Merger Proposal.

What vote is required in order to approve the Amendment Proposal?

The approval of the Amendment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of HAQ's common stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date. The officers and directors of HAQ intend to vote all of their shares of common stock in favor of this proposal.

What vote is required in order to approve the Incentive Plan Proposal?

The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Special Meeting. The officers and directors of HAQ intend to vote all of their shares of common stock in favor of this proposal.

What vote is required in order to approve the Adjournment Proposal?

Adoption of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of shares of HAQ's common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Adoption of the Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.

If I am not going to attend the Special Meeting of stockholders in person, should I return my proxy card instead?

Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, after carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement, please complete and sign your proxy card. Then return the enclosed proxy card in the return envelope provided herewith as soon as possible, so that your shares may be represented at the Special Meeting.

What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote?

An abstention or failure to vote by a HAQ stockholder will not be counted towards the vote total for the Merger Proposal, and your shares of common stock will not be converted into a pro rata portion of the funds in the trust account. An abstention or failure to vote will have the effect of voting against the Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. An abstention will have the effect of voting against the Incentive Plan.

As long as a quorum is established at the Special Meeting, a failure to vote will have no impact upon the approval of the Merger Proposal or the Incentive Plan Proposal but as the Amendment Proposal requires a majority of all outstanding shares of common stock, and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of HAQ's common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting,a failure to vote will have the effect of a vote against each of the Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Failure to vote will not have the effect of converting your shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account.

If my shares are held in “street name'' by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me?

If you hold your shares in “street name,” your bank or broker cannot vote your shares with respect to the Merger Proposal, the Amendment Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal without specific instructions from you, which are sometimes referred to in this proxy statement as the broker “non-vote” rules.  If you do not provide instructions with your proxy, your bank or broker may deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your shares; this indication that a bank or broker is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum, but will not count for purposes of determining the number of votes cast at the Special Meeting. Your broker can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide to your broker. If you hold your shares in street name you can obtain physical delivery of the shares into your name, and then vote your shares yourself. In order to obtain shares directly into your name, you must contact your brokerage house representative. Brokerage firms may assess a fee for your conversion; the amount of such fee varies from firm to firm.

What do I do if I want to change my vote?

If you wish to change your vote, please send a later-dated, signed proxy card to our corporate Secretary, John Pappajohn at HAQ prior to the date of the Special Meeting or attend the Special Meeting and vote in person. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to John Pappajohn at the address of HAQ's corporate headquarters, provided such revocation is received prior to the Special Meeting.

Will I receive anything in the Merger?

If the Merger is consummated and you vote your shares for the Merger Proposal or you abstain, you will continue to hold the HAQ securities that you currently own. If the Merger is consummated but you have voted your shares against the Merger Proposal and have elected a cash conversion instead, your shares of HAQ common stock will be cancelled and you will receive cash equal to a pro rata portion of the trust account, which, as of December 31, 2006, was equal to approximately $7.54 per share. Because HAQ is acquiring all of the outstanding securities of PharmAthene, the stockholders (and certain optionholders and warrantholders) and noteholders of PharmAthene will receive 12.5 million shares of HAQ common stock, subject to adjustment, 8% convertible notes in the amount of $12,500,000 and up to $10,000,000 in milestone payments, as applicable in exchange for their shares (or applicable options or warrants) of capital stock of PharmAthene and in replacement of currently outstanding notes.

How is HAQ paying for the Merger?

HAQ will be issuing new shares of its common stock and 8% convertible notes to finance the Merger and is not required to utilize cash for the transaction. Further, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement, the PharmAthene stockholders may also receive milestone payments based upon future revenues of the post-merger company. Assuming the Merger Proposal is approved, a portion of the funds from HAQ’s IPO, now held in trust, will be used to pay certain expenses related to the Merger including fees with respect to listing the Merger related HAQ common stock issued as merger consideration on the American Stock Exchange, accounting and legal fees and payments to those stockholders who exercise their conversion rights and elect to convert their shares into cash.

Are PharmAthene stockholders or noteholders required to approve the Merger?

Yes. All of the holders of PharmAthene’s preferred stock, and more than 80% of the holders of the common stock of PharmAthene, have already executed irrevocable consents approving and adopting the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. Accordingly, there are no additional approvals required by PharmAthene to consummate the Merger. In addition, holders of substantially all of the PharmAthene Notes have agreed to exchange their PharmAthene Notes (principal and interest) for the new notes to be issued by HAQ.

What will happen in the Merger?

PAI Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ formed for the purpose of consummating the Merger (which we also refer to as “Merger Sub”), will merge with and into PharmAthene with PharmAthene being the surviving corporation. As a consequence of the Merger, the following will occur:

 
·
PharmAthene will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ;

 
·
the stockholders of PharmAthene will receive shares of HAQ common stock;

-6-

 
 
·
the option and warrant holders of PharmAthene will receive options and warrants to purchase shares of HAQ common stock in exchange for their equity interests in PharmAthene;
 
 
·
the holders of the 8% convertible notes of PharmAthene will exchange their notes (principal and interest) for $12,500,000 of 8% convertible notes issued by HAQ;

 
·
at the closing, all series of preferred stock of PharmAthene will be surrendered for conversion into shares of HAQ Common Stock, and the preferred stock will be cancelled. Additionally, a total of 16,118,359 warrants held by the holders of the PharmAthene preferred stock will be terminated, as well as all related agreements previously entered into by the holders of the preferred stock and PharmAthene;

 
·
the Board of HAQ will be restructured and reconstituted to provide that the Board will be comprised of seven persons, and the holders of the 8% notes to be issued to the PharmAthene note holders will have the right to appoint up to three directors.

Has HAQ received a valuation or fairness opinion with respect to the Merger Proposal?

No. Our Board of Directors has determined that the fair market value of PharmAthene exceeds 80% of our net assets as was represented in the prospectus relating to our IPO and required by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The terms of the merger were determined based upon arm’s-length negotiations between us and the management of PharmAthene, who had no prior dealings with us or our officers or directors. Some of our officers and directors, including John Pappajohn, our Chairman, Derace L. Schaffer, M.D., our Chief Executive Officer, and Matthew Kinley, our President, have extensive industry and deal-making experience. Further, obtaining a valuation or fairness opinion is not required under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under the circumstances, our Board of Directors believed that the aggregate consideration for the Merger appropriately reflected PharmAthene’s fair market value and that obtaining a valuation or fairness opinion was unnecessary.

How did HAQ’s Board of Directors arrive at a valuation of PharmAthene and did the Board of Directors assign a value to PharmAthene?

HAQ’s Board of Directors considered the nature of PharmAthene’s business and assets, including its potential sales, its business plan and forecasts, potential earnings, cash flow and book value of assets. In addition, the Board reviewed PharmAthene’s current capitalization and resulting operating losses, and the extent of the liabilities to be assumed in arriving at a valuation of PharmAthene. The Board of Directors did not assign a specific value to PharmAthene but believes that the negotiated purchase price reflects the value of PharmAthene. We refer you to the discussions under the headings “Background of the Merger" and “HAQ’s Reasons for the Merger and Recommendation of the HAQ Board.”

What will PharmAthene stockholders receive in the Merger?

The Merger Agreement provides that the holders of PharmAthene capital stock (including holders of warrants and options) and outstanding noteholders will receive the following consideration:

 
·
an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock subject to possible adjustment;
 
 
·
$12,500,000 of 8% convertible notes will be issued by HAQ; and
 
 
·
up to $10,000,000 in milestone payments may be paid (if certain conditions are met).

The Merger Agreement provides that the holders of PharmAthene securities immediately prior to the Merger will initially own up to approximately 52% of the issued and outstanding shares of HAQ capital stock after the Merger (assuming all PharmAthene options and warrants assumed by HAQ are exercised and excluding as outstanding for purposes of the calculation securities issuable upon exercise of HAQ’s outstanding warrants, upon exercise of the purchase option issued to underwriters in HAQ’s IPO and upon conversion of the 8% convertible notes to be issued in the Merger). Since HAQ has outstanding warrants to purchase 9.4 million shares of common stock and a unit purchase option to purchase 225,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant, holders of PharmAthene securities will own as much as 39% of the aggregate issued and outstanding shares of HAQ capital stock after taking into account such securities (assuming all PharmAthene options and warrants assumed by HAQ are exercised and including securities issuable upon the conversion of the 8% convertible notes to be issued in the Merger). If the aggregate principle amount of $12.5 million of the 8% convertible notes issued by HAQ are converted in their entirety, the holders will own 1,250,000 shares of HAQ common stock subsequent to the Merger. The holders of HAQ capital stock immediately prior to the Merger will own the balance of the issued and outstanding shares of HAQ capital stock. Therefore, the holders of HAQ capital stock immediately prior to the Merger will experience substantial dilution of their ownership interest as a result of the Merger.
 
-7-

 
Will fractional shares of HAQ be paid?

Fractional shares will not be issued to PharmAthene stockholders in the Merger. In lieu of fractional shares, the PharmAthene stockholders will receive cash. As a result of the very limited number of fractional shares which could be issued because there are only 23 PharmAthene stockholders, the amount of cash needed to cover fractional shares will be immaterial.

What will PharmAthene noteholders receive in the Merger?

Pursuant to a Note Exchange Agreement, the execution of which is a condition precedent to consummation of the Merger, current holders of PharmAthene’s $11,800,000 in 8% convertible notes are required to exchange such notes (all principal and accrued interest) for the 8% convertible notes of HAQ in the principal amount of $12,500,000. Pursuant to the Note Exchange Agreement, such holders will also have the right to designate three nominees to HAQ’s Board of Directors, comprised of seven members, and two of the three members to each committee of the Board including the corporate governance and nominating committee and compensation committee.  

Do I have conversion rights in connection with the Merger?

If you hold shares of common stock issued in HAQ's IPO, then you have the right to vote against the Merger Proposal and demand that HAQ convert your shares of HAQ common stock into a pro rata portion of the trust account. These rights to vote against the Merger and demand conversion of your shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account are sometimes referred to herein as conversion rights.

If I have conversion rights, how do I exercise them?

If you wish to exercise your conversion rights, you must vote against the Merger Proposal and, at the same time, demand that HAQ convert your shares into cash by marking the appropriate space on the proxy card. You must affirmatively vote against the Merger Proposal and demand that HAQ convert your shares into cash from the trust account no later than the close of the vote on the Merger Proposal to exercise your conversion rights (by indicating so on the proxy card or on the ballot at the Special Meeting). In order to convert your shares you must hold your shares through the closing date of the Merger and then present your physical stock certificate to our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, NY, 10004, Attention ______, (212) 845-3287 subsequent to the closing date of the Merger. If you elect to convert your shares of common stock, you will still have the right to exercise the warrants received as part of the units that were issued in our initial public offering in accordance with the terms thereof and you will still have the right to attend the Special Meeting. If, notwithstanding your vote, the Merger is consummated, then you will be entitled to receive a pro rata share of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of HAQ's IPO are held, including any interest earned thereon through the date of the Special Meeting. Based on the amount of cash held in the trust account as of December 31, 2007, without taking into account any interest accrued after such date, you will be entitled to convert each share of HAQ common stock that you hold into approximately $7.54 per share. If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of HAQ common stock for cash and will no longer own these shares of common stock. You will only be entitled to receive cash for these shares if you continue to hold these shares through the closing date of the Merger and then tender your stock certificate to HAQ. If you convert your shares of common stock, you will still have the right to exercise the warrants received as part of the units purchased in the IPO in accordance with the terms thereof. If the Merger is not consummated: (i) then your shares will not be converted into cash at this time, even if you so elected; and (ii) we will commence the dissolution process and you will be entitled to distribution upon liquidation. See “Conversion Rights” at page 48 and the section entitled “Consequences if Merger is Not Approved” beginning on page 63.

What happens to the funds deposited in the trust account after completion of the Merger?

Upon consummation of the Merger, a portion of the funds remaining in the trust account after payment of amounts, if any, to stockholders requesting and exercising their conversion rights, will be used to pay expenses associated with the Merger. In addition, approximately $720,000 will be used to pay deferred underwriters’ compensation from HAQ’s IPO. Substantially all of the funds will be used to fund working capital of the combined company.

Who will manage HAQ from and after consummation of the Merger with PharmAthene?

From and after consummation of the Merger, HAQ will be managed by the current management of PharmAthene including David P. Wright as President and Chief Executive Officer. It is anticipated that the Board of Directors of the combined company will consist of the following seven board members: John Pappajohn, HAQ’s current Chairman, Derace M. Schaffer, M.D., currently a member of HAQ’s Board of Directors, James Cavanaugh, Ph.D., Steven St. Peter, M.D. Elizabeth Czerepak, Joel McCleary and David Wright, PharmAthene’s current President and Chief Executive Officer, each to serve until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Ms. Czerepak and Drs. Cavanaugh and St. Peter, all of whom are currently directors on PharmAthene’s Board of Directors, will be directors nominated by the holders of 8% convertible notes to be issued by HAQ in exchange for the currently-outstanding 8% convertible notes of PharmAthene.

What happens if the Merger is not consummated?

If the Merger is not consummated, HAQ's amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not be further amended pursuant to the Amendment Proposal and we will not adopt the Incentive Plan pursuant to the Incentive Plan Proposal. Further, it is likely that HAQ will be liquidated pursuant to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In the event the Merger is not consummated, HAQ will probably not have sufficient time and resources to seek another suitable business combination and HAQ will be forced to dissolve and liquidate. If a liquidation were to occur by approximately August 3, 2007 (the last day on which HAQ would be permitted to consummate an acquisition under its amended and restated certificate of incorporation), HAQ estimates that with the interest that would accrue on the amounts that are held in trust through such date, there would be a trust balance of approximately $72,280,000 million or $7.68 per share. This amount, less any liabilities not indemnified by certain members of HAQ's Board and not waived by HAQ's creditors, which we estimate will not exceed $ ____, would be distributed to the holders of the 9,400,000 shares of common stock purchased in HAQ's IPO. HAQ currently estimates that, at the end of August 3, 2007, there would be approximately $280,000 in Delaware franchise tax and state income tax claims which are not indemnified and not waived by such taxing authorities. Thus, HAQ estimates that the total amount available for distribution upon liquidation would be approximately $72,000,000 million or $7.66 per share.

Separately, HAQ estimates that the dissolution process would cost approximately $50,000 to $75,000 and that HAQ would be indemnified for such costs by certain of the HAQ executive officers and directors. Such officers and directors have acknowledged and agreed that such costs are covered by their existing indemnification agreement. We do not believe there would be any for claims or liabilities in excess of the funds out of the trust against which certain of HAQ’s executive officers and directors would be required to indemnify the trust account in the event of such dissolution. In the event that such persons indemnifying HAQ are unable to satisfy their indemnification obligation or in the event that there are subsequent claims such as subsequent non-vendor claims for which such persons have no indemnification obligation, the amount ultimately distributed to stockholders may be reduced even further. However, HAQ currently has no basis to believe there will be any such liabilities or to provide an estimate of any such liabilities. The only cost of dissolution that HAQ is aware of that would not be indemnified against by such officers and directors of HAQ is the cost of any associated litigation. See page 40 of the section entitled “Risk Factors” for a further discussion with respect to amounts payable from the trust account.

When do you expect the Merger to be completed?

Assuming the approval of the Merger Proposal, it is currently anticipated that the Merger and other proposals will be completed as promptly as practicable following the Special Meeting of stockholders to be held on __________, 2007.

What do I need to do now?

HAQ urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement, including the annexes, and to consider how the merger will affect you as a stockholder of HAQ. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement and on the enclosed proxy card.

Do I need to send in my stock certificates?

If the Merger is approved and consummated, only HAQ stockholders who vote against adoption of the Merger Proposal and elect to have their shares converted into a pro rata share of the funds in the trust account must send their physical stock certificate to our stock transfer agent subsequent to the closing of the Merger. HAQ stockholders who vote in favor of the adoption of the merger proposal, or who otherwise do not elect to have their shares converted should not submit their stock certificates now or after the Merger, because their shares will not be converted or exchanged in connection with the Merger. If the Merger is not approved and we intiate the dissolution and liquidation processes, we will at such time provide instructions to stockholders of the procedure for obtaining their pro rata portion of the trust fund.

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards, if your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your HAQ shares.

Who can help answer my questions?

If you have questions about any of the proposals, you may write or call Healthcare Acquisition Corp. at 2116 Financial Center, 666 Walnut Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50309, (515) 244-5746, Attention: Matthew Kinley.

Based in Annapolis, Maryland, PharmAthene’s goal is to become the premier company worldwide specializing in the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic and prophylactic drugs for defense against bioterrorism and to eventually leverage its biodefense capabilities for non-biodefense products in broader commercial markets. PharmAthene has two products under development, Valortim™, a human monoclonal antibody for the prevention and treatment of anthrax infection, and Protexia®, a bioscavenger for the treatment of organophosphate nerve agent poisoning. Beyond its initial focus in biodefense, PharmAthene intends to identify and develop dual-use technologies which have application and indications in broader commercial markets. PharmAthene has had no revenues from the sale of products since its inception and has incurred significant operating losses.

PharmAthene was incorporated on March 13, 2001 under the name PharmAthene, Inc. The principal executive offices of PharmAthene are located at 175 Admiral Cochrane Drive, Suite #101, Annapolis, MD 21401, and its telephone number is (410) 571-8920.

The Agreement and Plan of Merger (Page 59)

On January 19, 2007, the parties entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) which provides for a business combination by means of a merger of Merger Sub with and into PharmAthene in which PharmAthene will be the surviving entity and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ. We will acquire all of the capital stock of PharmAthene and certain of its securities will be terminated. At the closing, and subject to certain adjustments as hereafter described, the PharmAthene stockholders, optionholders, warrantholders and noteholders will receive the following in the Merger (the “Merger Consideration”):
 
 
·
an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock;
 
-11-

 
 
·
$12,500,000 in 8% convertible notes issued by HAQ; and
 
 
·
up to $10,000,000 in milestone payments (if certain conditions are met).


Provided in the 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock is the reservation of 577,366 HAQ shares for issuance in connection with outstanding options and warrants to acquire shares of common stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of PharmAthene, which will be assumed by HAQ and converted into options and warrants of HAQ.

Milestone payments may be made to the stockholders of PharmAthene as part of the Merger Consideration equal to 10% of the actual collections on gross sales of its product, Valortim™, to the U.S. federal government until the earlier of (A) December 31, 2009, or (B) the point at which total aggregate milestone payments to the stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders equal $10 million. These payments will be conditioned upon receipt by PharmAthene of an award, procurement or other contract (x) on or before December 31, 2007; (y) which provides for a procurement by the U.S. government of doses or treatments equal to or greater than 60,000; and (z) with a total contract value of $150 million or more.

The 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock issued as a portion of the Merger Consideration will only be subject to adjustment to the extent that the stockholders of HAQ owning more than 5% of the outstanding HAQ Common Stock exercise their conversion rights. The number of shares of HAQ common stock comprising the stock consideration shall be adjusted upward by the product of (x) the number (as a percentage) that is the difference between the percentage of HAQ common stock that is converted and 5% and (y) 2.25 million. Stockholders holding an aggregate of up to 2,328,835 shares of common stock could convert such shares and the Merger may still be consummated. If such number of shares were converted, the shares of HAQ common stock issued as a portion of the Merger Consideration would be increased by 337,275 shares of common stock. The number of outstanding options and warrants of PharmAthene will not effect the total of 12,500,000 shares to be issued as Merger Consideration.

Of the shares of HAQ common stock to be issued to the PharmAthene stockholders as a portion of the Merger Consideration, 1,375,000 shares of HAQ common stock will be placed in an escrow account for a period of one year from the closing date of the Merger as the sole and exclusive source to satisfy any indemnification claims against PharmAthene under the Merger Agreement.

HAQ, Merger Sub and PharmAthene plan to consummate the Merger as promptly as practicable after the Special Meeting, provided that:

 
·
HAQ’s stockholders have approved and adopted the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby;

 
·
holders of no more than 19.99% of the shares of the common stock issued in HAQ's IPO vote against the Merger Proposal and demand conversion of their shares into cash;

 
·
at the closing, all series of preferred stock of PharmAthene are surrendered for conversion, all warrants held by the holders of the PharmAthene preferred stock are cancelled, as well as all related agreements previously entered into by the holders of the preferred stock and PharmAthene are terminated;

 
·
all of the noteholders of PharmAthene surrender their notes for exchange into the new 8% convertible notes of HAQ;

 
·
all registration rights, security agreements and any other agreement related to the preferred stock and notes of PharmAthene entered into by the holders of the preferred stock and /or note holders are terminated; and

 
·
the other conditions specified in the Merger Agreement have been satisfied or waived.

See the description of the Merger Agreement in the section entitled “The Agreement and Plan of Merger” beginning on page 59. The Merger Agreement is included as “Annex A” to this proxy statement. We encourage you to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety.

Our Stock Ownership (Page 49)

On the Record Date, our officers and directors owned an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares of our common stock, or approximately 19.3% of our outstanding shares, that they acquired prior to our IPO. They have agreed to vote these shares with respect to the Merger Proposal as the holders of a majority of our IPO shares that are voted at the Special Meeting. Our officers and directors own no shares that were issued in the IPO.
 
Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting of Our Stockholders (Page 45 )

The Special Meeting of our stockholders will be held at 10:00 A.M., local time, on _________, 2007 at [ - ].

Record Date; Who is entitled to Vote (Page 46)
 
You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting if you owned shares of our common stock at the close of business on ______________, 2007, which is the record date for the Special Meeting. You will have one vote for each share of our common stock you owned at the close of business on the record date. On the record date, there were 11,650,000 shares of our common stock outstanding, of which 9,400,000 shares were IPO shares. The remaining 2,250,000 shares were issued to our founders prior to our IPO.

Quorum and Vote Required (Page 47)

A quorum of our stockholders is necessary to hold a valid stockholders meeting. A quorum will be present at the Special Meeting if a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding as of the record date are presented in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.
 
The approval of the Merger Proposal will require the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock issued in our IPO present and that vote on the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting with respect to the Merger. Notwithstanding such approval, the Merger will not be completed if the holders of 20% or more of our IPO shares (1,880,000 or more shares) vote against the Merger Proposal and exercise their conversion rights.

As long as a quorum is established at the Special Meeting, a failure to vote will have no impact upon the approval of the Merger Proposal or the Incentive Plan Proposal but as the Amendment Proposal requires a majority of all outstanding shares of common stock, a failure to vote will have the effect of a vote against such proposal. Failure to vote will not have the effect of converting your shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account.

Voting your Shares; Proxies (Page 46)

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person.
 
If you grant a proxy, you may still vote your shares in person if you revoke your proxy at or before the Special Meeting.

Tax Consequences (Page 62)

There will be no tax consequences to our stockholders resulting from the Merger, except to the extent they exercise their conversion rights.
 
A stockholder who exercises conversion rights will generally be required to recognize capital gain or loss upon the conversion, if such shares were held as a capital asset on the date of the Merger. This gain or loss will be measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the stockholder’s tax basis in the converted shares. The gain or loss will be short-term gain or loss if the acquisition closes as scheduled, but may be long-term gain or loss if the closing is postponed.
 
-13-


Accounting Treatment (Page 62)

The Merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition and equity recapitalization, with HAQ treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, the transaction is being treated as an acquisition of assets and not a business combination because HAQ did not meet the definition of a business under EITF 98-3, Determination Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business. Accordingly, the transaction has been treated as a capital transaction whereby PharmAthene is issuing stock for the net monetary assets of HAQ, accompanied by a recapitalization.

Risk Factors (Page 27)

Before you grant your proxy or vote or instruct the vote with respect to the Merger, you should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this proxy statement could have a material adverse effect on us and PharmAthene.

Relation of Proposals

Each of the the Amendment Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal are conditioned upon the approval of the Merger Proposal and, in the event the Merger Proposal does not receive the necessary vote to approve that proposal, then HAQ will not complete any of the transactions identified in any of the proposals. If the Amendment Propsoal and/or Incentive Plan Proposal is not approved but the Merger Proposal is approved, we may still consummate the Merger if the conditions in the Merger Agreement requiring the approval of these proposals are waived. Adoption of the Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals

Approval of PharmAthene's Stockholders

PharmAthene did not hold a stockholders meeting. The approval of the stockholders and noteholders of PharmAthene is required to consummate the Merger. More than 80% of the holders of PharmAthene’s common stock, 100% of its preferred stockholders and holders of substantially all of the PharmAthene Notes have previously approved the Merger and the Merger Agreement by written consent. No further approval is required of PharmAthene securityholders. Those stockholders of PharmAthene who did not consent to the Merger may have dissenters’ rights under Delaware law. A form of the Note Exchange Agreement, to be executed at closing, and a form of the 8% convertible notes, to be issued at closing, have been agreed upon by the PharmAthene noteholders and HAQ. Further, the stockholders and noteholders of PharmAthene have agreed to a lockup of their shares issuable to them in the Merger under which 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 PharmaAthene stockholders and noteholders following the closing pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on January 19, 2007.

Conversion Rights (Page 48)

Pursuant to HAQ’s existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a holder of shares of HAQ's common stock issued in its IPO may, if the stockholder votes against the Merger Proposal, demand that HAQ convert such shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account. This demand must be made on the proxy card at the same time that the stockholder votes against the Merger Proposal. We issued a total of 9,400,000 shares in our IPO and, other than the 2,250,000 shares issued to our management, we have no other shares of common stock issued and outstanding. If properly demanded, HAQ will convert each share of common stock as to which such demand has been made into a pro rata portion of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of HAQ's IPO are held, plus all interest earned thereon. If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of HAQ common stock for cash and will no longer own these shares. Based on the amount of cash held in the trust account as of December 31, 2006, without taking into account any interest accrued after such date, you would be entitled to convert each share of common stock that you hold into approximately $7.54 per share. You will only be entitled to receive cash for these shares if you continue to hold these shares through the closing date of the Merger and then tender your stock certificate to our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, NY, 10004, Attention ______, (212) 845-3287. The Merger will not be consummated if the holders of 1,880,000 or more shares of common stock issued in HAQ's IPO, an amount equal to 20% or more of such shares, vote against the Merger Proposal and exercise their conversion rights. If the Merger is not consummated, then these shares will not be converted into cash immediately. If you convert your shares of common stock, you will still have the right to exercise the warrants received as part of the units purchased in our IPO in accordance with the terms thereof and you will still have the right to attend the Special Meeting. If the Merger is not consummated, then your shares will not be converted to cash after the Special Meeting, even if you so elected, and your shares will be converted into cash upon liquidation of the trust.

Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights (Page 49)

No dissenters’ or appraisal rights are available under the Delaware General Corporation Law to the stockholders of HAQ in connection with the proposals. Any stockholder of HAQ holding shares of common stock issued in HAQ's IPO who votes against the Merger Proposal may, at the same time, demand that HAQ convert his shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account. If the holders of 20%, or 1,880,000, or more shares of common stock issued in HAQ's IPO vote against the Merger Proposal and demand conversion of their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, HAQ will not be able to consummate the Merger. The only rights for those stockholders voting against the Merger who wish to receive cash for their shares is to simultaneously demand payment for their shares from the trust account. All of the holders of PharmAthene’s classes of preferred stock and stockholders representing 80% of its outstanding common stock have approved the Merger Proposal by written consent. The holders of PharmAthene common stock who did not consent to the Merger may be entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

(5) Includes 12,000 warrants purchased by Mr. Berger in open market purchases. See footnote 1 above.

(6) Based on information contained in a Statement on Schedule 13G filed by Sapling LLC in February 2007. Sapling may direct the vote and disposition of the 697,715 shares of common stock, and Fir Tree Recovery may direct the vote and disposition of 325,115 shares of common stock. The address of both Sapling LLC and Fir Tree Recovery is 535 Fifth Avenue, 31st Floor, New York, New York 10017. Fir Tree, Inc. is the investment manager for each of Sapling LLC and Fir Tree Recovery Master Fund, LP. Jeffrey Tannenbaum is the President of Fir Tree, Inc. and has the power to vote or dispose of the securities held by these entities.

All of the shares of HAQ common stock held by our officers and directors were placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, until the earliest of (i) July 28, 2008; or (ii) 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 acquisition of PharmAthene.

During the escrow period, the holders of these shares are not 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 HAQ’s IPO.

Certain of our officers and directors may determine to purchase shares of our common stock in open market transactions prior to the Special Meeting. Such purchases may be made pursuant to a specified 10b-5 stock puchase plan or otherwise or in privately negotiated transactions. The directors and officers have advised us that they have not established definitive terms of a plan to purchase shares, nor a definitve number of shares which may be purchased. In the event that any such purchases are made, these shares may be entitled to participate in the liquidation of the trust fund in the event the Merger is not approved. Our officers and directors have advised us that in the event that any stock purchases are made, they will vote the shares so purchased in favor of the Merger Proposal, Amendment Proposal, Incentive Plan Proposal and Adjournment Proposal.

Reasons for the Merger (Page 59)

No fairness opinion was sought or obtained by our Board of Directors in reaching its determination because the Board of Directors did not believe any such opinion was required to assist them in their decision making process or added value to the stockholder voting process. In reaching its decision with respect to the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Board of Directors reviewed various industry and financial data and the due diligence and evaluation materials of PharmAthene. In addition, in reaching its decision to approve the Merger, the Board of Directors considered a number of factors including, but not limited to, the following:

 
·
the involvement of certain of the stockholders and noteholders of PharmAthene, whom HAQ believes represent strong long term investors with experience in venture transactions and growth companies;

 
·
the experience of PharmAthene’s management, including David P. Wright, PharmAthene’s Chief Executive Officer, in building and operating PharmAthene’s business;

 
·
PharmAthene’s existing products, and the award by U.S. government agencies of contracts related to such products;

-16-

 
 
·
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; and

 
·
the experience of HAQ’s management, in particular, Mr. Pappajohn and Dr. Schaffer, in building consolidating and investing in similar businesses in the U.S. including relationships HAQ could introduce to PharmAthene to potentially enhance its growth;

HAQ's Board of Directors' Recommendation (Pages 63)

After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, HAQ’s Board of Directors has determined unanimously that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, HAQ and its stockholders.  Accordingly, HAQ's Board has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Merger and unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote or instruct their vote to be cast “FOR” the Merger Proposal.

HAQ’s Board of Directors has determined unanimously that the Amendment Proposal is fair to, and in the best interest of HAQ and its stockholders. Accordingly, HAQ’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved and declared advisable the Amendment Proposal and unanimously recommends that you vote or instruct your vote to be cast “FOR” the approval of the Amendment Proposal.

HAQ’s Board of Directors has determined unanimously that the adoption of the Incentive Plan is fair to, and in the best interests of, HAQ and its stockholders. Accordingly, HAQ’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved and declared advisable the adoption of the Incentive Plan and unanimously recommends that you vote or instruct your vote to be cast “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal.

Interests of HAQ Directors and Officers in the Merger (Page 59)

When you consider the recommendation of HAQ's Board of Directors that you vote in favor of the Merger Proposal, you should keep in mind that certain of HAQ's Directors and officers have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. It is anticipated that after the consummation of the Merger, John Pappajohn and Derace L. Schaffer, MD, who currently serve as two of our directors, will remain on the Board. All other current HAQ Directors will resign. If the Merger is not approved, HAQ will be required to liquidate, and the warrants owned by certain of HAQ's directors and the shares of common stock issued at a price per share of $0.0111 prior to HAQ's IPO to and held by HAQ's executives and directors will be worthless because HAQ's executives and directors are not entitled to receive any of the net proceeds of HAQ's IPO that may be distributed upon liquidation of HAQ with respect to shares or warrants previously purchased by them. Additionally, HAQ's officers and directors who acquired shares of HAQ common stock prior to HAQ's IPO at a price per share of $0.0111 will benefit if the Merger is approved because they will continue to hold their shares.

The table below sets forth the value of the shares and warrants owned by the officers and directors of HAQ upon consummation of the Merger and the unrealized profit from such securities based on an assumed market price of the common stock and the warrants of HAQ, as of April 18, 2007, of $7.42 and $1.10, respectively.

Interests of PharmAthene Directors and Officers in the Merger

You should understand that some of the current directors and officers of PharmAthene have interests in the Merger that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder of HAQ. Following the closing of the Merger, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the combined company will consist of parties initially designated by PharmAthene or its noteholders. In particular, David Wright, PharmAthene’s current Chief Executive Officer, is expected to become HAQ’s Chief Executive Officer and serve on our Board. Further, David Wright is expected to enter into an employment agreement with HAQ in connection with the Merger.

For so long as at least 30% of the 8% convertible notes to be issued in the Merger remain outstanding, the holders of the 8% convertible notes shall have the right, as a separate class (and notwithstanding the existence of less than three such holders at any given time), to (a) elect three members to the Board of Directors of HAQ and, (b) to the extent they elect to fill such committee positions, appoint two of the three members of such committees of the Board. It is currently contemplated that Elizabeth Czerepak, Steven St. Peter, MD and James Cavanaugh, Ph.D., who are currently members of the Board of Directors of PharmAthene, will be members of the HAQ Board of Directors following the Merger as representatives of the noteholders.

In addition, Elizabeth Czerepak, Steven St. Peter, MD and James Cavanaugh, Ph.D. hold management positions with funds affiliated with Bear Stearns Health Innoventures Management, LLC, MPM Capital L.P. and HealthCare Ventures VII, L.P., respectively. Funds affiliated with Bear Stearns Health Innoventures Management, LLC will beneficially own approximately 5.8% of the outstanding voting shares of the combined company (and 20.3% of the HAQ 8% convertible notes), funds affiliated with MPM Capital L.P. will beneficially own approximately 14.1% of the outstanding voting securities of the combined company (and 37.6% of the HAQ 8% convertible notes) and HealthCare Ventures VII, L.P. will beneficially own approximately 13.4% of the outstanding voting securities of the combined company (and 14.5% of the HAQ 8% convertible notes). Accordingly, these funds will have the ability to exercise substantial influence over the election of members of the HAQ Board of Directors and other matters submitted to the stockholders of the combined company.

Interests of Maxim Group in the Merger; Fees

Maxim served as an underwriter in our IPO and agreed to defer $720,000 of its underwriting discounts and commissions until after the consummation of a business combination. Maxim has also served as our financial advisor in connection with negotiating the Merger. The deferred amount payable in connection with the IPO will be paid out of the trust account established for the proceeds of the IPO only if we consummate the Merger. Maxim, therefore, has an interest in our consummating the Merger that will result in the payment of its deferred compensation. Further, Maxim owns an option to purchase 225,000 units (comprised of one share and one warrant) at an exercise price of $10.00 per unit, received as consideration as underwriters in our IPO.

In addition to receiving its deferred compensation, Maxim will receive fees of $500,000 only upon completion of the Merger in consideration for its advisory services to HAQ in connection with the Merger.

Interest of The Bear Stearns Companies in the Merger

Inc. will receive a fee of $1,250,000 upon completion of the Merger. Bear Stearns, therefore, has an interest in our consummating the Merger that will result in the payment of such fee.

The Bear Stearns Companies, Inc. is the parent company of Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and Bear Stearns Asset Management, Inc., which is the sole manager of Bear Stearns Health Innoventures Management, LLC. Funds affiliated with Bear Stearns Health Innoventures Management, LLC will beneficially own approximately 5.8% of the outstanding voting shares of the combined company (and 20.3% of the HAQ 8% convertible notes) following the Merger.

Regulatory Matters

We believe the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not subject to any federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for filings necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Proposal and the Amendment Proposal with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

The Amendment Proposal

HAQ is seeking stockholder approval to amend HAQ's amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Any amendment will not become effective unless and until the Merger with PharmAthene is consummated. The material terms of such amendment are to: (i) change HAQ's name from “Healthcare Acquisition Corp.” to “PharmAthene, Inc.” (ii) remove certain provisions containing procedural and approval requirements applicable to HAQ 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 certain secured, convertible promissory notes the right to designate three members to the Board of Directors of HAQ for so long as at least 30% of the original face value of such notes remain outstanding.

The Incentive Plan Proposal

HAQ is seeking stockholder approval for the adoption of the Incentive Plan which will provide for the granting of options and/or other stock-based or stock-denominated awards. The material terms of such plan are:

·  3,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock will be reserved for issuance;

·  the Incentive Plan will be administered by the HAQ Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, and any particular term of a grant or award shall be at the Board's discretion; and

·  the Incentive Plan will become effective upon the closing of the Merger with PharmAthene.

The Adjournment Proposal

If, based on the tabulated vote, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting approving the Merger Proposal, HAQ's Board of Directors may submit a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies. See the section entitled “The Adjournment Proposal.” beginning on page 93.

MARKET PRICE INFORMATION AND DIVIDEND DATA FOR HAQ SECURITIES

HAQ consummated its IPO on August 3, 2005. In the IPO, HAQ sold 9,000,000 units, each consisting of one share of HAQ’s common stock and one warrant to purchase common stock and on August 16, 2005, HAQ consummated the closing of an additional 400,000 units that was subject to the underwriters over-allotment option. The units were quoted on the AMEX from the consummation of the IPO through October 6, 2005 under the symbol HAQ.U. On October 6, 2005, the common stock and warrants included in the units began trading separately and the trading in the units ceased on such date. The shares of HAQ common stock and warrants are currently quoted on the American Stock Exchange under the symbols “HAQ” and “HAQ.WT”, respectively. The closing price per share of common stock and per warrant of HAQ on January 19, 2007, the last trading day before the announcement of the execution of the Merger Agreement, were $7.46 and $1.60 (the closing price on January 19, 2007), respectively. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from HAQ one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing on the later of the consummation of a business combination (if consummated) or July 28, 2006. The HAQ warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 27, 2009, or earlier upon redemption.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement, before you decide whether to vote or instruct your vote to be cast to adopt the Merger Proposal. As HAQ’s operations will be those of PharmAthene upon consummation of the Merger, a number of the following risk factors relate to the business and operations of PharmAthene and HAQ, as the successor to such business.
 
Risks Related to the Business of PharmAthene
 
It is expected that PharmAthene will incur net losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future and we cannot guarantee that we will achieve profitability and our business, results of operations, and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
 
PharmAthene has incurred significant losses since it commenced operations. For the year ended December 31, 2006, PharmAthene incurred an operating loss of approximately $14.5 million. The pro forma combined accumulated deficit of the combined company is approximately $68.6 million at December 31, 2006. PharmAthene’s losses to date have resulted principally from research and development costs related to the development of its product candidates and general and administrative costs related to its operations.
 
It is expected that the combined company will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future as a result of increases in its research and development costs, including costs associated with conducting preclinical testing, clinical trials and regulatory compliance activities.
 
The combined company’s likelihood for achieving profitability will depend on numerous factors, including success in:
 
· developing and testing new product candidates;
 
· carrying out the combined company’s intellectual property strategy;
 
· establishing the combined company’s competitive position;
 
· pursuing third-party collaborations;
 
· acquiring or in-licensing products;
 
· receiving regulatory approvals;
 
· manufacturing and marketing products; and
 
· continuing to receive government funding and identifying new government funding opportunities.
 
Many of these factors will depend on circumstances beyond the combined company’s control. We cannot guarantee that we will achieve sufficient revenues for profitability. Even if we do achieve profitability, we cannot guarantee that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If revenues grow slower than we anticipate, or if operating expenses exceed our expectations or cannot be adjusted accordingly, then our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will be materially and adversely affected. Because our strategy might include acquisitions of other businesses, acquisition expenses and any cash used to make these acquisitions will reduce our available cash.

PharmAthene is in various stages of product development and there can be no assurance of successful commercialization.
 
PharmAthene has not commercialized any products or recognized any revenues from product sales. In general, PharmAthene’s research and development programs are at early stages. To obtain FDA approval for PharmAthene’s biological warfare defense products under current FDA regulations, PharmAthene will be required to perform two animal model studies for efficacy and provide animal and human safety data. PharmAthene’s other products will be subject to the relevant approval guidelines under FDA requirements which include a number of phases of testing in humans. Even if PharmAthene initially receives positive pre-clinical or clinical results, such results may not be indicative of similar results that could be anticipated in the later stages of drug development, such as additional pre-clinical testing or human clinical trials.
 
Other than the Valortim™ product candidate, the research and development program for PharmAthene is at an early stage. Other drug candidates developed by the combined company will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive pre-clinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to commercial sale. We cannot be sure that PharmAthene’s approach to drug discovery will be effective or will result in the development of any drug. HAQ does not expect that any drugs resulting from the research and development efforts of PharmAthene will be commercially available for several years, if at all. Even if PharmAthene succeeds in developing and commercializing its product candidates, it may never generate sufficient or sustainable revenues to enable it to be profitable. Furthermore, even if the product candidates of PharmAthene are successful when tested in animals, such success would not be a guarantee of the effectiveness and safety of such product candidates in humans. There can be no assurances that one or more of PharmAthene’s future product candidates would not fail to meet safety standards in human testing, even if those product candidates were found to be effective in animal studies nor can there be any assurances that any such product candidates will prove to be effective in humans or profitable when commercialized.
 
Most of PharmAthene’s immediately foreseeable future revenues are contingent upon grants and contracts from the U.S. government and collaborative and license agreements and PharmAthene may not achieve sufficient revenues from these agreements to attain profitability.
 
Until and unless PharmAthene successfully markets a product, its ability to generate revenues will largely depend on its ability to enter into additional collaborative agreements, strategic alliances, research grants, contracts and license agreements with third parties, including, without limitation, the U.S. government and branches and agencies thereof, and maintain the agreements it currently has in place. Substantially all of the revenue of PharmAthene for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were derived from revenues related to grants, contracts and license agreements.
 
In addition, PharmAthene’s business plan calls for significant payments from milestone based collaborative agreements. PharmAthene may not earn significant milestone payments under its existing collaborative agreements until its collaborators have advanced products into clinical testing, which may not occur for many years, if at all.
 
PharmAthene has a material agreement with Medarex, Inc., to develop Valortim™, its fully human monoclonal antibody product designed to protect against and treat inhalation anthrax. Under the agreement with Medarex, PharmAthene will be entitled to a variable percentage of profits derived from sales of Valortim™, depending on the amount of its investment. In addition, PharmAthene has entered into licensing and research and development agreements with a number of other parties and collaborators.
 
PharmAthene may need additional capital in the future. If additional capital is not available or not available on acceptable terms, PharmAthene may be forced to delay or curtail the development of its product candidates.
 
PharmAthene’s requirements for additional capital may be substantial and will depend on many other factors, including:
 
· continued funding by the Department of Defense and other branches and agencies of the U.S. Government;
 
-28-

 
· payments received under present or future collaborative partner agreements;
 
· continued progress of research and development of PharmAthene’s products;
 
· PharmAthene’s ability to license compounds or products from others;
 
· costs associated with protecting PharmAthene’s intellectual property rights;
 
· development of marketing and sales capabilities; and
 
· market acceptance of PharmAthene’s products.
 
To the extent PharmAthene’s capital resources are insufficient to meet future capital requirements, it will have to raise additional funds to continue the development of its product candidates. We cannot assure you that funds will be available on favorable terms, if at all. To the extent PharmAthene raises additional capital through the sale of securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution which may be substantial to the PharmAthene’s stockholders. In addition, if PharmAthene incurs debt financing, a substantial portion of its operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for PharmAthene’s business activities. If adequate funds are not available, PharmAthene may be required to curtail significantly its development and commercialization activities.
 
Biodefense treatment and drug development is an expensive and uncertain process, and delay or failure can occur at any stage of the combined company’s development process.
 
To develop and commercialize biodefense treatment and drug candidates, PharmAthene must provide the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities with clinical data that demonstrates adequate safety and immune response. This involves engaging in clinical trials, which is a lengthy and expensive process, the outcome of which is uncertain. Because humans are not normally exposed to anthrax, nerve agents, smallpox or to other lethal biotoxins or chemical agents, statistically significant effectiveness of PharmAthene’s biodefense product candidates cannot be demonstrated in humans, but instead must be demonstrated, in part, by utilizing animal models before they can be approved for commercial sale. Delays in obtaining results can occur for a variety of reasons such as slower than anticipated enrollment by volunteers in the trials, adverse events related to the products and unsatisfactory results of any trial. Any delay or adverse clinical event arising during any of its clinical trials could force PharmAthene to abandon a product altogether or to conduct additional clinical trials in order to obtain approval from the FDA and other regulatory bodies. PharmAthene’s development costs will increase substantially if it experiences material delays in any clinical trials or if it needs to conduct more or larger trials than planned. Additionally, few facilities in the U.S. have the capability of testing animals with anthrax or nerve agent exposure. PharmAthene may not be able to secure clinical contracts to conduct the testing in a predictable timeframe or at all. Further, if delays are significant, or if any of PharmAthene’s products do not prove to be safe or effective or do not receive required regulatory approvals, and PharmAthene will be unable to recognize revenues from the sale of products, the commercial prospects for its product candidates will be adversely affected.
 
Even if PharmAthene completes the development of its nerve agent countermeasure and anthrax treatment product, if PharmAthene fails to obtain contracts to supply products to the U.S. government or the U.S. government does not purchase sufficient quantities of its products, PharmAthene may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to continue operations.
 
The U.S. government has undertaken commitments to help secure improved countermeasures against bioterrorism including the stockpiling of treatments and vaccines for anthrax through a program known as the Strategic National Stockpile. However, the process of obtaining government contracts is lengthy and uncertain and PharmAthene will have to compete with other companies for each contract. There can be no assurances that PharmAthene will be awarded any contracts to supply the U.S. government with its products as such awards may be made, in whole or in part, to PharmAthene’s competitors. If the U.S. government makes significant future contract awards for the supply of its emergency stockpile to PharmAthene’s competitors, PharmAthene’s business will be harmed and it is unlikely that PharmAthene will ultimately be able to commercialize that particular treatment or product.
 
-29-

 
Further, changes in government budgets and agendas may result in a decreased and de-prioritized emphasis on procuring the biodefense products PharmAthene will develop. In addition, government contracts typically contain provisions that permit cancellation in the event that funds become unavailable to the governmental agency. If the U.S. government makes significant future contract awards to PharmAthene’s competitors at the exclusion of PharmAthene or otherwise fails to purchase PharmAthene’s products, it is unlikely that PharmAthene will ultimately be able to commercialize that particular treatment or product or that it will be able to generate sufficient revenues to continue operations.
 
U.S. government agencies have special contracting requirements, which give them the ability to unilaterally control its contracts with PharmAthene.
 
PharmAthene anticipates that its primary sales will be to the U.S. government. U.S. government contracts typically contain unfavorable termination provisions and are subject to audit and modification by the government at its sole discretion, which will subject PharmAthene to additional risks. These risks include the ability of the U.S. government to unilaterally:
 
· suspend or prevent PharmAthene for a set period of time from receiving new contracts or extending existing contracts based on violations or suspected violations of laws or regulations;
 
· terminate PharmAthene’s contracts;
 
· reduce the scope and value of PharmAthene’s contracts;
 
· audit and object to PharmAthene’s contract-related costs and fees, including allocated indirect costs;
 
· control and potentially prohibit the export of PharmAthene’s products; and
 
· change certain terms and conditions in PharmAthene’s contracts.
 
The U.S. government will be able to terminate any of its contracts with PharmAthene either for its convenience or if PharmAthene defaults by failing to perform in accordance with the contract schedule and terms. Termination for convenience provisions would generally enable PharmAthene to recover only PharmAthene’s costs incurred or committed, and settlement expenses and profit on the work completed prior to termination. Termination for default provisions do not permit these recoveries and would make PharmAthene liable for excess costs incurred by the U.S. government in procuring undelivered items from another source.
 
PharmAthene may fail to fully realize the potential of Valortim™ and of its co-development arrangement with its partner in the development of Valortim™ which would have an adverse affect upon its business.
 
PharmAthene and its development partner have completed the first Phase I clinical trial for Valortim™ without any reported adverse reactions. However, before it may begin selling any doses of Valortim™, it will need to conduct a more comprehensive Phase I trial to a significantly larger group of subjects. PharmAthene will be required to expend a significant amount to scale up manufacturing capability through a contract manufacturer in order to conduct the more extensive Phase I clinical trial. PharmAthene does not expect to commence this trial until 2008. If PharmAthene’s contract manufacturer is unable to produce sufficient quantities at a reasonable cost, then PharmAthene will be unable to commence the necessary clinical trials necessary to begin marketing Valortim™. Even after PharmAthene expends the sufficient funds to complete the development of Valortim™ and when and if it enters into an agreement to market Valortim™ to the U.S, government, it will be required to share any and all profits from the sale of products with its partner in accordance with a pre-determined formula.
 
If PharmAthene cannot enter into new licensing arrangements, its ability to develop a diverse product portfolio could be limited and its ability to compete would be harmed.
 
A component of PharmAthene’s business strategy will be in-licensing compounds and products developed by other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies or academic research laboratories that may be marketed and developed or improved upon using PharmAthene’s novel technologies. Competition for promising compounds or products can be intense. If PharmAthene is not able to identify new licensing opportunities or enter into other licensing arrangements on acceptable terms, it may be unable to develop a diverse portfolio of products.
 
-30-

 
PharmAthene will face competition from several companies with greater financial, personnel and research and development resources. Its commercial opportunities may be reduced or eliminated if its competitors are more successful in the development and marketing of their products.
 
The biopharmaceutical industry is characterized by rapid and significant technological change. PharmAthene’s success will depend on its ability to develop and apply its technologies in the design and development of its product candidates and to establish and maintain a market for its product candidates. There also are many companies, both public and private, including major pharmaceutical and chemical companies, specialized biotechnology firms, universities and other research institutions engaged in developing pharmaceutical and biotechnology products. Many of these companies have substantially greater financial, technical, research and development, and human resources than those of PharmAthene. Competitors may develop products or other technologies that are more effective than any that are being developed by PharmAthene or may obtain FDA approval for products more rapidly. If PharmAthene commences commercial sales of products, it still must compete in the manufacturing and marketing of such products, areas in which it has limited experience. Many of these companies also have manufacturing facilities and established marketing capabilities that would enable such companies to market competing products through existing channels of distribution. PharmAthene’s commercial opportunities will be reduced or eliminated if its competitors develop and market products for any of the harmful effects that it targets that:
 
· are more effective;
 
· have fewer or less severe adverse side effects;
 
· are more adaptable to various modes of dosing;
 
· are easier to administer; or
 
· are less expensive than the products or product candidates PharmAthene will be developing.
 
Even if PharmAthene is successful in developing effective products, and obtains FDA and other regulatory approvals necessary for commercializing them, its products may not compete effectively with other successful products. PharmAthene’s competitors may succeed in developing and marketing products either that are more effective than those that it may develop, alone or with its collaborators, making its products obsolete, or that are marketed before any products that PharmAthene develops are marketed.
 
Companies that are developing products that would compete with PharmAthene’s products include: VaxGen, Inc., which is developing vaccines against anthrax and smallpox; Avant Immunotherapeutics, Inc., which has vaccine programs for agents of biological warfare, including plague and anthrax; Human Genome Sciences, Inc., Elusys Therapeutics, Inc. and AVANIR Pharmaceuticals, Inc., all of which are developing monoclonal antibodies as anthrax treatments. Other competitors of PharmAthene include: Emergent Biosolutions Inc., Merck & Co., Inc., Bio Sante Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Dynport Vaccine Company, LLC (“DVC”) and Ligocyte Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
 
Political or social factors may delay or impair PharmAthene’s ability to market its products and its business may be materially adversely affected.
 
Products developed to treat diseases caused by, or to combat the threat of, bioterrorism will be subject to changing political and social environments. The political and social responses to bioterrorism have been unpredictable. Political or social pressures may delay or cause resistance to bringing PharmAthene’s products to market or limit pricing of its products, which would harm PharmAthene’s business.
 
-31-

 
The U.S. government’s determination to award any contracts to PharmAthene may be challenged by an interested party, such as another bidder, at the General Accounting Office or in federal court. If such a challenge is successful, a contract may be terminated.
 
The laws and regulations governing the procurement of goods and services by the U.S. government provide procedures by which other bidders and other interested parties may challenge the award of a government contract. In the event that PharmAthene is awarded a government contract, such protests could be filed even if there are not any valid legal grounds on which to base the protest. If any such protests are filed, the government agency may decide to suspend PharmAthene’s performance under the contract while such protests are being considered by the General Accounting Office or the applicable federal court, thus potentially delaying delivery of goods and services and payment. In addition, PharmAthene could be forced to expend considerable funds to defend any potential award. If a protest is successful, the government may be ordered to terminate PharmAthene’s contract at its convenience and reselect bids. The government could even be directed to award a potential contract to one of the other bidders.
 
Legal and Regulatory Risks of Development Stage Biotechnology Companies
 
PharmAthene’s commercial success will be affected significantly by its ability to obtain protection for its proprietary technology and that of its licensors and collaborators and not infringe the patents and proprietary rights of third parties.
 
The patent position of biotechnology firms generally is highly uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions. To date, no consistent policy has emerged regarding the breadth of claims allowed in biotechnology patents. PharmAthene currently holds two U.S. patents and has five U.S. patent applications pending. In addition, it has rights under numerous other patents and patent applications pursuant to exclusive and non-exclusive license arrangements with licensors and collaborators. However, there can be no assurance that patent applications owned or licensed by PharmAthene will result in patents being issued or that the patents, existing or issued in the future, will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. Any conflicts resulting from third-party patent applications and patents could significantly reduce the coverage of the patents owned, optioned by or licensed to PharmAthene or its collaborators and limit the ability of PharmAthene or that of its collaborators to obtain meaningful patent protection.
 
Further, the commercial success of PharmAthene will depend significantly on its ability to operate without infringing the patents and proprietary rights of third parties. PharmAthene is aware of one U.S. patent covering recombinant production of an antibody, which, it has been argued, covers any reproduction of an antibody, as well as another U.S. patent application with claims over pegylated butyrylcholinesterase. Although PharmAthene believes that neither Valortim™, which is a monoclonal antibody and uses recombinant reproduction of antibodies, nor Protexia®, which uses pegylated butyrylcholinesterase technology, infringes on any valid claims of such patents, PharmAthene cannot provide any assurances that if a legal action based on either of these two patents were to be brought against PharmAthene or its distributors, licensees or collaborators, that PharmAthene or its distributors, licensees or collaborators would prevail or that PharmAthene would have sufficient funds or resources to defend such claims. If patents are issued to third parties that contain competitive or conflicting claims, PharmAthene, its licensors or collaborators may be legally prohibited from researching, developing or commercializing potential products or be required to obtain licenses to these patents or to develop or obtain alternative technology. PharmAthene, its licensors and/or its collaborators may be legally prohibited from using patented technology, may not be able to obtain any license to the patents and technologies of third parties on acceptable terms, if at all, or may not be able to obtain or develop alternative technologies.
 
The costs associated with establishing the validity of patents, of defending against patent infringement claims of others and of asserting infringement claims against others is expensive and time consuming, even if the outcome is favorable. An outcome of any patent prosecution or litigation that is unfavorable to PharmAthene or one of its licensors or collaborators may have a material adverse effect on PharmAthene.
 
Any inability to protect PharmAthene’s intellectual property could harm its competitive position and adversely affect its business.
 
PharmAthene’s success will depend, in part, on its ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of other intellectual property for its technologies and products in the U.S. and other countries. If PharmAthene does not adequately protect its intellectual property, competitors may be able to use its technologies and erode or negate its competitive advantages. Further, the laws of some foreign countries will not protect PharmAthene’s proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S., and PharmAthene may encounter significant problems in protecting its proprietary rights in these foreign countries.
 
-32-

 
The patent positions of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including PharmAthene’s patent positions, involve complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, validity and enforceability cannot be predicted with certainty. Patents may be challenged, deemed unenforceable, invalidated or circumvented. PharmAthene will be able to protect its proprietary rights from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that it covers its proprietary technologies with valid and enforceable patents or that it effectively maintains such proprietary technologies as trade secrets. PharmAthene will apply for patents covering its technologies and product candidates as it deems appropriate. PharmAthene may fail to apply for patents on important technologies or products in a timely fashion, or at all, and in any event, the applications PharmAthene files may be challenged and may not result in issued patents. Any future patents PharmAthene obtains may not be sufficiently broad to prevent others from practicing its technologies or from developing competing products. Furthermore, others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or design around PharmAthene’s patented technologies. In addition, if challenged, PharmAthene’s patents may be declared invalid. Even if valid, PharmAthene’s patents may fail to provide it with any competitive advantages.
 
PharmAthene will rely upon trade secrets protection for its confidential and proprietary information. PharmAthene has taken measures to protect their proprietary information; however, these measures may not provide adequate protection to PharmAthene. The companies have sought to protect their proprietary information by entering into confidentiality agreements with employees, collaborators and consultants. Nevertheless, employees, collaborators or consultants may still disclose the companies’ proprietary information, and PharmAthene may not be able to meaningfully protect its trade secrets. In addition, others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to PharmAthene’s trade secrets.
 
PharmAthene’s use of hazardous materials and chemicals require it to comply with regulatory requirements which may result in significant costs and expose it to potential liabilities.
 
PharmAthene’s research and development involves the controlled use of hazardous materials and chemicals. PharmAthene will be subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of such materials. PharmAthene will not be able to eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials. In the event of such an accident, PharmAthene could be held liable for significant damages or fines, and these damages could exceed its resources and any applicable insurance coverage. In addition, PharmAthene may be required to incur significant costs to comply with regulatory requirements in the future.
 
PharmAthene may become subject to product liability claims, which could reduce demand for its product candidates or result in damages that exceed its insurance coverage.
 
PharmAthene will face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability suits in connection with its products being tested in human clinical trials or sold commercially. PharmAthene may become subject to a product liability suit if any product it develops causes injury, or if treated individuals subsequently become infected or otherwise suffer adverse effects from its products. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims may result in decreased demand for a product, injury to PharmAthene’s reputation, withdrawal of clinical trial volunteers and loss of revenues.
 
If a product liability claim is brought against PharmAthene, the cost of defending the claim could be significant and any adverse determination may result in liabilities in excess of its insurance coverage. Additionally, PharmAthene will be applying for indemnification under the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 which preempts and modifies tort laws so as to limit the claims and damages potentially faced by companies who provide certain “qualified” anti-terrorism products. However, PharmAthene cannot to be certain that it will be able to obtain or maintain adequate insurance coverage on acceptable terms, if at all.
 
-33-

 
Legislation limiting or restricting liability for medical products used to fight bioterrorism is new, and PharmAthene cannot be certain that any such protection will apply to its products and, therefore, PharmAthene could become subject to product liability suits and other third party claims if such protections do not apply.
 
The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (“Public Readiness Act”) was signed into law in December 2005 and creates general immunity for manufacturers of countermeasures, including security countermeasures (as defined in Section 319F-2(c)(1)(B)), when the Secretary of Defense issues a declaration for their manufacture, administration or use. The declaration is meant to provide general immunity from all claims under state or federal law for loss arising out of the administration or use of a covered countermeasure. Manufacturers are excluded from this protection in cases of willful misconduct.
 
Upon a declaration by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, a compensation fund is created to provide “timely, uniform, and adequate compensation to eligible individuals for covered injuries directly caused by the administration or use of a covered countermeasure.” The “covered injuries” to which the program applies are defined as serious physical injuries or death. Individuals are permitted to bring a willful misconduct action against a manufacturer only after they have exhausted their remedies under the compensation program. A willful misconduct action could be brought against us if an individual(s) has exhausted their remedies under the compensation program which thereby could expose us to liability. PharmAthene may become subject to standard product liability suits and other third party claims if products it develops which fall outside of the Public Readiness Act cause injury or if treated individuals subsequently become infected or otherwise suffer adverse effects from such products.
 
PharmAthene may be subject to claims that it or its employees wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of the employees’ former employers. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to PharmAthene’s management.
 
As is commonplace in the biotechnology industry, PharmAthene employs individuals who were previously employed at other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies, including their competitors or potential competitors. Although no claims against PharmAthene are currently pending, PharmAthene may be subject to claims that these employees or it have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of their former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. Even if PharmAthene is successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management.
 
If PharmAthene experiences delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, or is unable to obtain or maintain regulatory approvals, it may be unable to commercialize any products.
 
PharmAthene will need to conduct a substantial amount of additional research and development before any U.S. or foreign regulatory authority will approve any of its products. In addition, PharmAthene’s product candidates will be subject to extensive and rigorous domestic government regulation. Results of PharmAthene’s research and development activities may indicate that its potential products are unsafe or ineffective. In this case, regulatory authorities will not approve them. Even if approved, PharmAthene’s products may not be commercially successful. If PharmAthene fails to develop and commercialize its products, it may be forced to curtail or cease operations.
 
In addition, the commencement and rate of completion of clinical trials for PharmAthene’s products may be delayed by many factors, including:
 
· lack of efficacy during the clinical trials in animals;
 
· unsatisfactory results of any clinical trial;
 
· unforeseen safety issues;
 
· slower than expected rate of patient recruitment; or
 
· government or regulatory delays.
 
-34-

 
·  adversely affect the commercialization of any products that PharmAthene or its collaborative partners develop;
 
·  impose costly procedures on PharmAthene or its collaborative partners;
 
·  diminish any competitive advantages that PharmAthene or its collaborative partners may attain; and
 
·  adversely affect PharmAthene’s receipt of revenues or royalties.
 
The results from preclinical testing and early clinical trials are often not predictive of results obtained in later clinical trials. Although a new product may show promising results in initial clinical trials, it may subsequently prove unfeasible or impossible to generate sufficient safety and efficacy data to obtain necessary regulatory approvals. Data obtained from preclinical and clinical studies are susceptible to varying interpretations, which may delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. In addition, PharmAthene may encounter regulatory delays or rejections as a result of many factors, including results that do not support its claims, perceived defects in the design of clinical trials and changes in regulatory policy during the period of product development. PharmAthene’s business, financial condition, prospects and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by any delays in, or termination of, its clinical trials or a determination by the FDA that the results of PharmAthene’s trials are inadequate to justify regulatory approval.
 
Any required approvals, once obtained, may be withdrawn. Further, if the companies fail to comply with applicable FDA and other regulatory requirements at any stage during the regulatory process, it may encounter difficulties including:
 
·  delays in clinical trials or commercialization;
 
·  product recalls or seizures;
 
·  suspension of production and/or distribution;
 
·  withdrawals of previously approved marketing applications; and
 
·  fines, civil penalties and criminal prosecutions.
 
PharmAthene’s collaborative partners may not be able to conduct clinical testing or obtain necessary approvals from the FDA or other regulatory authorities for any product candidates. If PharmAthene fails to obtain required governmental approvals, it or its collaborative partners will experience delays in, or be precluded from, marketing products developed through it or, as applicable, their research.
 
PharmAthene and its contract manufacturers will also be required to comply with the applicable FDA good manufacturing practice regulations. Good manufacturing practice regulations include requirements relating to quality control and quality assurance as well as the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Manufacturing facilities are subject to inspection by the FDA. These facilities must be approved before PharmAthene will be able to use them in commercial manufacturing of their products. PharmAthene and its contract manufacturers may not be able to comply with the applicable good manufacturing practice requirements and other FDA regulatory requirements. If PharmAthene and its contract manufacturers fail to comply, they could be subject to fines or other sanctions, or be precluded from marketing their products.
 
PharmAthene may be required to perform additional clinical trials or change the labeling of its products if it or others identify side effects after its products are on the market, which could harm sales of the affected products.
 
If PharmAthene or others identify side effects after any of its products are on the market, or if manufacturing problems occur:
 
·  regulatory approval may be withdrawn;

-35-

 
 
·  reformulation of the affected products, additional clinical trials, or changes in labeling of PharmAthene’s products may be required;
 
·  changes to or re-approvals of PharmAthene’s manufacturing facilities may be required;
 
·  sales of the affected products may drop significantly;
 
·  PharmAthene’s reputation in the marketplace may suffer; and
 
·  lawsuits, including class action suits, may be brought against PharmAthene.
 
Any of the above occurrences could harm or prevent sales of the affected products or could increase the costs and expenses of commercializing and marketing these products.
 
Risks Particular to the Merger
 
HAQ stockholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of shares of HAQ common stock as consideration in the Merger. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that HAQ’s current stockholders have on the management of the combined company.
 
Following the consummation of the Merger, the influence of HAQ’s current stockholders, in their capacity as stockholders of the combined company, will be significantly limited. HAQ’s current stockholders will hold, in the aggregate, at most 48% of the issued and outstanding shares of the combined company (assuming all PharmAthene options and warrants assumed by HAQ are exercised and excluding as outstanding for purposes of the calculation securities issuable upon the exercise of HAQ’s outstanding warrants, upon exercise of the purchase option issued to underwriters in HAQ’s IPO and upon conversion of the 8% convertible notes to be issued in the Merger).
 
Moreover, following the Merger, funds affiliated with MPM Capital, L.P., HealthCare Ventures VII, L.P. and Bear Stearns Health Innoventures Management LLC will beneficially own approximately 14.1%, 13.4% and 5.8%, respectively, (33.3% in the aggregate) of the outstanding voting shares of the combined company and, therefore, will have the ability to exercise substantial influence over the election of Directors and other issues submitted to the stockholders of the combined company. Funds affiliated with MPM Capital L.P., HealthCare Ventures VI, L.P. and Bear Stearns Health Innoventures LLC, will beneficially own approximately 37.6%, 14.5% and 20.3% respectively, (72.4% in the aggregate) of the outstanding HAQ 8% convertible notes pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The parties have agreed that the noteholders shall have the right to elect three designees to serve on the Board of Directors of the combined company so long as they continue to hold, in the aggregate, at least 30% of the original face amount of such notes. The concentration of ownership, as well as the Board designee provision of the Merger Agreement, may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the combined company even if such a change in control would be in your interest.
 
HAQ’s dividend policy may reduce the value of your investment.
 
Following the Merger, HAQ does not intend that it will in the foreseeable future declare or pay any cash dividend on its shares and anticipates that earnings, if any, will be used to finance the development and expansion of its business. Any payment of future dividends and the amounts thereof will be dependent upon earnings, financial requirements and other factors deemed relevant by its Board of Directors, including its contractual obligations, if any.
 
HAQ may waive one or more conditions to the Merger without resoliciting stockholder approval for the Merger.
 
One or more conditions to HAQ’s obligation to complete the Merger may be waived in whole or in part to the extent legally allowable either unilaterally or by agreement of PharmAthene and HAQ. Depending upon the condition, the Board of Directors of HAQ, will evaluate the materiality of any such waiver to determine whether amendment to this proxy statement and re-solicitation of proxies as necessary. In the event that the Board of Directors of HAQ determines any such waivers are not significant enough to require re-solicitation of stockholders, it would have the discretion to complete the Merger without seeking further stockholder approval.

There was no independent valuation of PharmAthene undertaken by HAQ in connection with the Merger and no assurance can be given that you will receive the value of your investment.
 
HAQ has not obtained an independent opinion regarding the valuation of PharmAthene. Current HAQ stockholders and prospective investors must rely on their own business and investment background, and their own investigation of PharmAthene, and the proposed business of the combined company in determining whether to vote in favor of the Merger Proposal or invest in HAQ. Although we have knowledge of PharmAthene’s business and the industry, it is possible that the actual value of PharmAthene’s business is lower than HAQ could realize upon a sale of the combined company or its assets. No assurances can be given that you will receive the value of your investment upon disposition thereof.
 
HAQ’s stock price is, and is expected to remain, volatile, which could limit investors’ ability to sell stock at a profit.
 
The volatile price of our stock makes it difficult for investors to predict the value of their investment, to sell shares at a profit at any given time, or to plan purchases and sales in advance. A variety of factors may affect the market price of our common stock. These include, but are not limited to:
 
·  publicity regarding actual or potential clinical results relating to products under development by our competitors or us;
 
·  delay or failure in initiating, completing or analyzing pre-clinical or clinical trials or the unsatisfactory design or results of these trials;
 
·  achievement or rejection of regulatory approvals by our competitors or us;
 
·  announcements of technological innovations or new commercial products by our competitors or us;
 
·  developments concerning proprietary rights, including patents;
 
·  developments concerning our collaborations;
 
·  regulatory developments in the U.S. and foreign countries;
 
·  economic or other crises and other external factors;
 
·  period-to-period fluctuations in our revenues and other results of operations;
 
·  changes in financial estimates by securities analysts; and
 
·  sales and short selling activity of our common stock.
 
Additionally, because there is not a high volume of trading in our stock, any information about PharmAthene in the media may result in significant volatility in our stock price.
 
We will not be able to control many of these factors, and we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our financial results will not necessarily be indicative of our future performance.
 
In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that may have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.

Risks Relating to HAQ’s Business

Our outstanding warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of common stock and make it more difficult to effect the Merger.

In connection with the IPO, we issued warrants to purchase 9,400,000 shares of common stock. 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 our existing stockholders exercise their registration rights, it may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Our initial stockholders 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 July 29, 2008. If our existing 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.

The American Stock Exchange may delist our securities from trading which could limit investors' ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

Our common stock and warrants are listed on the AMEX, a national securities exchange. We cannot assure you that our securities will continue to be listed on the AMEX in the future prior to a business combination. If the AMEX delists 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 are listed on the AMEX, our securities are 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.
 
Failure to consummate the Merger could negatively impact the market price of HAQ’s common stock, resulting, ultimately, in the disbursement of the trust proceeds, causing investors to experience a loss on their investment.
 
If the Merger is not completed for any reason, HAQ may be subject to a number of material risks, including:

 
·
the market price of HAQ’s common stock may decline to the extent that the current market price of its common stock reflects a market assumption that the Merger will be consummated;
 
-38-

 
 
·
certain costs related to the Merger, such as legal and accounting fees, must be paid even if the Merger is not completed; and

 
·
charges will be made against earnings for transaction-related expenses, which could be higher than expected.

Such decreased market price and added costs and charges of the failed merger may result, ultimately, in the disbursement of the trust proceeds, causing investors to experience a loss on their investment.

A stockholder may make a claim against HAQ for taking actions inconsistent with the IPO prospectus as such stockholder may interpret the requirement that HAQ's Board of Directors determine the fair value of acquisition targets based upon certain standards set forth in HAQ's IPO prospectus and its existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation differently than HAQ's management interpreted such standards and as a result, HAQ may suffer monetary losses.

HAQ's IPO prospectus stated and our existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the fair market value of a business to be acquired by HAQ would be determined by its 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. . Our Board of Directors, based upon these factors, and its review of the business, financial condition and operations of PharmAthene, determined that the purchase price that was negotiated represents the fair value of PharmAthene and, therefore, exceeds the 80% threshold. A stockholder could, however, may make a claim against HAQ that it failed to comply with the terms of HAQ’s existing amended and restated certificate of incorporation when evaluating the proposed merger with PharmAthene.

Although HAQ would vigorously contest any such claim, it could incur considerable expense in defending such a claim. If HAQ were not successful, it would be liable for damages as determined by a court or may have to make payments in connection with settling such claim.

If HAQ is deemed to be an investment company, HAQ may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for it to complete a business combination.

In order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, unless HAQ can qualify for an exclusion, HAQ must ensure that it is engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading of securities and that its activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities.” HAQ's business is to identify and consummate a business combination and thereafter to operate the acquired business or businesses. HAQ invests the funds in the trust account only in treasury bills issued by the U.S. having a maturity of 180 days or less or money market funds meeting the criteria under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act until it uses them to complete a business combination. By limiting the investment of the funds to these instruments, HAQ believes that it will not be considered an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The trust account and the purchase of government securities for the trust account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earlier to occur of either: (i) the consummation of our primary business objective, which is a business combination, or (ii) absent a business combination, our dissolution, liquidation and distribution of our assets, including the proceeds held in the trust account, as part of our plan of dissolution and liquidation. If we fail to invest the proceeds as described above or if we cease to be primarily engaged in our business as set forth above (for instance, if our stockholders do not approve a plan of dissolution and liquidation and the funds remain in the trust account for an indeterminable amount of time), we may be considered to be an investment company and thus be required to comply with the Investment Company Act.

If HAQ is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, its activities may be restricted, including:

· restrictions on the nature of its investments; and

-39-

 

· restrictions on the issuance of securities.

each of which may make it difficult for it to consummate a business combination. HAQ would also become subject to burdensome regulatory requirements, including reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and the costs of meeting these requirements would reduce the funds it has available outside the trust account to consummate a business combination.

If 20% or more of the holders of HAQ’s common stock issued in HAQ’s IPO decide to vote against the Merger Proposal and convert their shares to cash, HAQ will be forced to abandon the Merger with PharmAthene and will seek to liquidate, in which event stockholders may receive less than $7.54 per share and the warrants may expire worthless.

Under the terms of HAQ’s certificate of incorporation, if 20% or more of shares issued in HAQ’s IPO decide to vote against the proposed merger and opt to convert their shares to cash, HAQ will be required to liquidate. In any liquidation, the net proceeds of HAQ’s IPO held in the trust account, plus any interest earned thereon, will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of HAQ’s common stock issued in the IPO. If HAQ liquidates its assets, the per-share liquidation will be the approximately $69 million deposited in the trust account at the time of the IPO, plus interest accrued thereon until the date of any liquidation; as of December 31, 2006, there was approximately $7.54 per share available in the trust account for distribution to stockholders. Furthermore, there will be no distribution with respect to HAQ’s outstanding warrants and, accordingly, the warrants will expire worthless.
 
If third parties bring claims against HAQ, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders will be less than $7.54 per share.

Our placing of funds in trust may not protect those funds from third party claims against HAQ. Pursuant to Delaware General Corporation Law Sections 280 and 281, upon a dissolution we will be required to pay or make reasonable provision to pay all claims and obligations of the corporation, including all contingent, conditional or unmatured claims. 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 IPO per-share liquidation price could be less than $7.54 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.
 
In addition, although certain of our Directors and officers have agreed to indemnify HAQ for claims by any vendor that is owed money by HAQ for services rendered or products sold to HAQ, to the extent that such claims reduce the amounts in the trust fund to be distributed to the public stockholders upon dissolution and liquidation, this indemnification is limited to claims by vendors that do not execute a valid and enforceable waiver of all rights, title, interest, and claim of any kind in or to the monies held in the trust account or independent auditors, LWBJ, LLP have not, waived and executed such a __ as of April 18, 2007, no fees were owned to our auditors. The indemnification provided by certain of our Directors and officers would not cover claims by target businesses or other entities and vendors that execute such waivers nor claims related to torts, such as if someone were to be injured on our premises, securities litigation or franchise and income tax liabilities. We are not aware of any other claims of the type described above nor any basis for any such claim and, as of December 31, 2006, there is approximately $760,000 of cash outside of the trust account. Based on representations made to us by certain of our directors and officers, we currently believe that they are of substantial means and capable of funding a shortfall in our trust account to satisfy their foreseeable indemnification obligations, however, the indemnification may be limited as we have not asked them to reserve for such an eventuality. The indemnification obligations may be substantially higher than certain of our directors and officers currently foresee or expect and/or their financial resources may deteriorate in the future which could also act as a limitation on this indemnification. Hence, we cannot assure you that certain of our directors and officers will be able to satisfy those obligations or that the proceeds in the trust account will not be reduced by such claims. Furthermore, creditors may seek to interfere with the distribution of the trust account pursuant to federal or state creditor and bankruptcy laws, which could delay the actual distribution of such funds or reduce the amount ultimately available for distribution to our public stockholders. If we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us which is not dismissed, the funds held in our trust account will be subject to applicable bankruptcy law and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you that we will be able to return to our stockholders the liquidation amounts due to them. Accordingly, the actual per share amount distributed from the trust account to our public stockholders could be significantly less than approximately $7.54 per share, without taking into account interest earned on the trust account, due to claims of creditors. Any claims by creditors could cause additional delays in the distribution of trust funds to the public stockholders beyond the time periods required to comply with Delaware General Corporation Law procedures and federal securities laws and regulations. As discussed herein, if the Merger is not consummated, HAQ will be forced to dissolve and liquidate. In such event, it is more likely than not that the amount distributed to our stockholders will be less than $7.54 per share.

Our stockholders may be held liable for claims against HAQ by third parties to the extent of distributions received by them.

We have agreed with the trustee to promptly adopt a plan of dissolution and liquidation and initiate procedures for our dissolution and liquidation if we do not complete a business combination within 24 months after the consummation of our IPO. 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 we complied with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the Delaware General Corporation Law intended to ensure that we make reasonable provision for all claims against us, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against us, a 90-day period during which we may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of a stockholder with respect to a liquidating distribution would be 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. However, it is our intention to make liquidating distributions to our stockholders as soon as reasonably possible after dissolution and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them in a 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.
 
Under Delaware law, our dissolution requires the approval of the holders of a majority of our outstanding stock, without which we will not be able to dissolve and liquidate and distribute our assets to our public stockholders. Therefore, there may be a considerable delay before any distribution of our assets.

We have agreed with the trustee to initiate procedures for our dissolution and liquidation if we do not effect the Merger by August 3, 2007 and we intend to commence such procedures within five business days of such date. However, pursuant to Delaware law, our dissolution requires the affirmative vote of stockholders owning a majority of our then outstanding common stock. Soliciting the vote of our stockholders will require the preparation of preliminary and definitive proxy statements, which will need to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and could be subject to their review. This process could take a substantial amount of time ranging from 40 days to several months.
 
As a result, the distribution of our assets to the public stockholders could be subject to a considerable delay. Furthermore, we may need to postpone the stockholders meeting, resolicit our stockholders or amend our plan of dissolution and liquidation to obtain the required stockholder approval, all of which would further delay the distribution of our assets and result in increased costs. If we are not able to obtain approval from a majority of our stockholders, we will not be able to dissolve and liquidate and we will not be able to distribute funds from our trust account to holders of our common stock sold in our IPO and these funds will not be available for any other corporate purpose. 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. However, we cannot predict whether our stockholders will approve our dissolution in a timely manner or will ever approve our dissolution. As a result, we cannot provide our stockholders with assurances of a specific timeframe for the dissolution and distribution. If our stockholders do not approve a plan of dissolution and liquidation and the funds remain in the trust account for an indeterminate amount of time, we may be considered to be an investment company.
 
-41-

 

The financial interests of our officers and directors, which may be different than the best interests of our stockholders, may have influenced their motivation in causing us to enter into and, may influence in the future, their motivation to close the Merger Agreement.
 
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 of available proceeds not in the trust account unless the Merger is completed. If we do not complete the Merger or other business combination and are forced to liquidate, the trust account proceeds may be subject to claims that could take priority over the claims of our public stockholders. Certain of our officers and directors have entered into separate indemnity agreements under which they will be personally liable under certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds of the trust account are not reduced by the claims of various vendors that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for, or claims of other parties with which we have contracted. The shares of common stock and warrants owned by our officers and directors and their affiliates will be worthless if we do not consummate a business combination. These financial interests of our officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in causing us to enter into and, ultimately, may influence their motivation to close the Merger Agreement.

If third parties bring claims against us or if PharmAthene has breached any of its representations, warranties or covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement, we may not be adequately indemnified for any losses arising therefrom.

Although the Merger Agreement provides that the PharmAthene stockholders will indemnify us for losses arising from a breach of the representations, warranties and  covenants by PharmAthene set forth in the Merger Agreement, such indemnification is limited both in the aggregate and the deductible and is subject to other limitations. In addition, the survival period for any claims under the Merger Agreement is limited to claims arising within the twelve months immediately following the effective time of the Merger. Accordingly, we will be prevented from seeking indemnification for any claims above the aggregate threshold or arising after the applicable survival period.

If the Merger’s benefits do not meet the expectations of financial or industry analysts, the market price of HAQ’s common stock may decline.
 
The market price of HAQ’s common stock may decline as a result of the Merger if:
 
· HAQ does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Merger as rapidly as, or to the extent anticipated by, financial or industry analysts; or
 
· the effect of the Merger on HAQ’s financial results is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.
 
Accordingly, investors may experience a loss as a result of a decreasing stock price and HAQ may not be able to raise future capital, if necessary, in the equity markets.
 
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 of the 24 month deadline would proceed in approximately the following manner:
 
·  our Board of Directors will, consistent with Delaware law and its obligations described in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to dissolve, prior to the passing of 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;

-42-

 
 
·  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. Pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our powers following the expiration of the permitted time periods for consummating a business combination will automatically 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.
 
The procedures required for us to liquidate under the Delaware law, 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.

We will dissolve and liquidate if we do not consummate the Merger.

If we do not complete the Merger on or before August 3, 2007, we will dissolve and liquidate pursuant to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and Delaware law. 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 amended and restated 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 the Merger. We will be required to obtain stockholder approval of a plan of dissolution under Delaware law. Upon approval of our plan of dissolution, we will distribute, assuming satisfaction of our creditors, 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 distribution 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.

Because we entered into a definitive agreement to complete a business combination prior to the expiration of 18 months after the consummation of our IPO, we have an additional six months in which to complete the Merger with PharmAthene. If we are unable to consummate the Merger before August 3, 2007, our purpose and powers will be limited to dissolving, liquidating and winding up. 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 assure you 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.

Our public stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of our dissolution and liquidation or if they seek to convert their respective shares into cash upon a business combination which the stockholder voted against and which is completed by us. In no other circumstances will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.

Record Date; Who is Entitled to Vote

The Record Date for the Special Meeting is __________, 2007. Record holders of HAQ common stock at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to vote or have their votes cast at the Special Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 11,650,000 outstanding shares of HAQ common stock.
 
Each share of HAQ common stock is entitled to one vote at the Special Meeting.

Our officers and directors agreed with the underwriter in our initial public offering that any shares of HAQ common stock held by our officers and directors which were obtained prior to our initial public offering will be voted in accordance with the majority of the votes cast at the Special Meeting with respect to the Merger Proposal. The holders of common stock acquired in HAQ's IPO or afterwards are free to vote their shares, as they see fit. We have a total of 11,650,000 shares outstanding, of which 2,250,000 were issued prior to the IPO. All of these shares are held by our officers and directors. If our officers and directors determine to purchase additional shares of our common stock prior to the Special Meeting, they have advised us that they intend to vote these shares in favor of the Merger Proposal.

HAQ's issued and outstanding warrants do not have voting rights and record holders of HAQ warrants will not be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

Voting Your Shares

Each share of HAQ common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of HAQ common stock that you own.

There are two ways to vote your shares of HAQ common stock:

· You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card, but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted, as recommended by the HAQ Board, “FOR” the approval of the Merger Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Amendment Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

· You can attend the Special Meeting and vote in person. HAQ will give you a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way HAQ can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your HAQ common stock, you may call Matthew Kinley at (515) 244-5746.

-46-

 

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Special Meeting

The Special Meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Merger Proposal, the Amendment Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Under HAQ's bylaws, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the meeting, no other matters may be considered at the Special Meeting if they are not included in the notice of the meeting.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

· You may send another proxy card with a later date;

· You may notify Matthew Kinley, addressed to HAQ, in writing before the Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; and

· You may attend the Special Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person.

Quorum; Vote Required

The approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of HAQ's common stock issued in HAQ’s IPO that vote on this proposal at the Special Meeting. A total of 9,400,000 shares were issued in our IPO. In addition, notwithstanding the approval of a majority, if the holders of 1,880,000 or more shares of common stock issued in HAQ's IPO, an amount equal to 20% or more of the total number of shares issued in the IPO, vote against the Merger and demand conversion of their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, then HAQ will not be able to consummate the Merger. Each HAQ stockholder that holds shares of common stock issued in HAQ's IPO or purchased following such offering in the open market has the right, assuming such stockholder votes against the Merger Proposal and, at the same time, demands that HAQ convert such stockholder's shares into cash equal to a pro rata portion of the trust account in which a substantial portion of the net proceeds of HAQ's IPO is deposited. These shares will be converted into cash only if the Merger is consummated and the stockholder requesting conversion holds such shares until the date the Merger is consummated.

The approval and adoption of the Amendment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of HAQ common stock as of the Record Date. The approval and adoption of the Incentive Plan Proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of HAQ’s common stock that are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Adoption of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of HAQ's common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Adoption of the Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.

Each of the the Amendment Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal are conditioned upon the approval of the Merger Proposal and, in the event the Merger Proposal does not receive the necessary vote to approve that proposal, then HAQ will not complete any of the transactions identified in any of the proposals. If the Incentive Plan Proposal and/or the Amendment Proposal are not approved but the Merger Proposal is approved, we may still consummate the Merger. If the conditions in the Merger Agreement requiring approval of these proposals are waived by PharmAthene.

As long as a quorum is established at the Special Meeting, a failure to vote will have no impact upon the approval of the Merger Proposal or the Incentive Plan Proposal but as the Amendment Proposal requires a majority of all outstanding shares of common stock and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of HAQ's common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, a failure to vote will have the effect of a vote against each of the Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Failure to vote will not have the effect of converting your shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account.

-47-

 

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

If your broker holds your shares in its name and you do not give the broker voting instructions, under the rules of the NASD, your broker may not vote your shares on the proposals to approve the Merger with PharmAthene pursuant to the Merger Agreement and to approve the adoption of the Incentive Plan. If you do not give your broker voting instructions and the broker does not vote your shares, this is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Assuming the presence of a quorum of more than 50% of the shares of our common stock issued in our IPO, broker non-votes, abstentions or the failure to vote on the Merger Proposal will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

If you abstain from voting, it will (i) not be a vote against the Merger Proposal and will not have the effect of converting your shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account; (ii) not count as a vote against the Incentive Plan Proposal; and (iii) be treated as a vote against the approval of the Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

If you hold your shares in street name you can obtain physical delivery of your shares into your name, and then vote the shares yourself. In order to obtain shares directly into your name, you must contact your brokerage firm representative. Brokerage firms may assess a fee for your conversion; the amount of such fee varies from firm to firm.

Conversion Rights

Any stockholder of HAQ holding shares of common stock issued in HAQ's IPO who votes against the Merger Proposal may, at the same time, demand that HAQ convert his shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account. You must mark the appropriate box on the proxy card in order to demand the conversion of your shares. You must affirmatively vote against the Merger Proposal and demand that HAQ convert your shares into cash no later than the close of the vote on the Merger Proposal to exercise your conversion rights (either by indicating such on the proxy card or providing such information at the Special Meeting). You must hold your shares through the closing date of the Merger and then you must also present your physical stock certificate to our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, NY, 10004, Attention Greg Denmar, (212) 845-3274. If you convert your shares of common stock, you will still have the right to exercise the warrants received as part of the units in accordance with the terms thereof and you will still have the right to attend the Special Meeting. If so demanded, HAQ will convert these shares into a pro rata portion of the net proceeds from the IPO that were deposited into the trust account, plus interest earned thereon after such date, if the Merger is consummated. If the holders of 20%, or 1,880,000, or more shares of common stock issued in HAQ's IPO vote against the Merger Proposal and demand conversion of their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account, HAQ will not be able to consummate the Merger. Based on the amount of cash held in the trust account as of December 31, 2006, without taking into account any interest accrued after such date, you will be entitled to convert each share of common stock that you hold into approximately $7.54 per share. HAQ will be liquidated if the Merger is not consummated by August 3, 2007. In any liquidation, the net proceeds of HAQ's IPO held in the trust account, plus any interest earned thereon, will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of HAQ's common stock other than the founders, who will not share in any such liquidation proceeds.

If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of HAQ common stock for cash and will no longer own these shares. You will only be entitled to receive cash for these shares if you continue to hold these shares through the closing date of the Merger and then tender your stock certificate to our transfer agent as set forth above. The closing price of HAQ's common stock on April 18, 2007, the most recent trading day practicable before the printing of this proxy statement, was $7.42 and the amount of cash held in the trust account is approximately $70.9 million as of December 31, 2006, plus interest accrued thereon after such date. If a HAQ stockholder would have elected to exercise his conversion rights on such date, then he would have been entitled to receive $7.54 per share, plus interest accrued thereon subsequent to such date. Prior to exercising conversion rights, HAQ stockholders should verify the market price of HAQ's common stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their conversion rights.

Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights

No dissenters’ or appraisal rights are available under the Delaware General Corporation Law to the stockholders of HAQ in connection with the proposals. The only rights for those HAQ stockholders voting against the Merger who wish to receive cash for their shares is to simultaneously demand payment for their shares from the trust account. All of the holders of PharmAthene’s classes of preferred stock and stockholders representing 80% of its outstanding common stock have approved the Merger Proposal by written consent. The holders of PharmAthene common stock who did not consent to the Merger may be entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law. We do not believe that the funds necessary to pay dissenters’ rights, if any, will be material.

Solicitation Costs

HAQ is soliciting proxies on behalf of the HAQ Board of Directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. HAQ and its respective directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means, and in the event of such solicitations, the information provided will be consistent with this proxy statement and enclosed proxy card. These persons will not be paid for doing this. HAQ will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward its proxy statement materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. HAQ will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Stock Ownership

Of the 11,650,000 outstanding shares of HAQ common stock, HAQ's initial stockholders, including all of its officers and directors and their affiliates, who purchased shares of common stock prior to HAQ's IPO and who own an aggregate of approximately 19.31% of the outstanding shares of HAQ common stock (2,250,000 shares), have agreed to vote such shares acquired prior to the IPO in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other HAQ stockholders on the Merger Proposal.

Based solely upon information contained in public filings and the records of our transfer agent, as of the Record Date, the following stockholders beneficially own greater than five percent of HAQ's issued and outstanding common stock, as such amounts and percentages are reflected in the public filing of such stockholder:

PROPOSAL 1

THE MERGER PROPOSAL

The discussion in this proxy statement of the Merger Proposal and the principal terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 19, 2007, by and among HAQ, Merger Sub and PharmAthene (the “Merger Agreement”) is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Merger Agreement, which is attached as “Annex A'' to this proxy statement and is incorporated in this proxy statement by reference.

General Description of the Merger

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ will merge with and into PharmAthene and PharmAthene will be the surviving entity and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ. At the closing, and subject to certain adjustments as hereinafter described, the PharmAthene stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders and noteholders will receive the following in the Merger:

 
(i)
an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock, subject to adjustments as described below;
     
 
(ii)
$12,500,000 in 8% convertible notes issued by HAQ; 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 and convertible notes of PharmAthene (other than the securities being cancelled). HAQ is also assuming certain outstanding vested and unvested options and warrants, which shall be exchanged for 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 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. The number of shares which are to be issued may be subject to increase in the event that the stockholders of HAQ owning more than 5% of the outstanding HAQ common stock exercise their conversion rights, the number of shares of HAQ common stock comprising the stock consideration shall be adjusted upward by the product of (x) the number (as a percentage) that is the difference between the percentage of HAQ common stock that is converted and 5% and (y) 2.25 million. Stockholders holding an aggregate of up to 2,328,835 shares of common stock could convert such shares and the Merger may still be consummated. If such number of shares were converted, the shares of HAQ common stock issued as a portion of the Merger Consideration would be increased by 337,275 shares of common stock.

Background of the Merger

The terms of the Merger Agreement are the result of arm's-length negotiations between representatives of HAQ and PharmAthene. The following is a discussion of the background of these negotiations, the Merger and related transactions.

HAQ was incorporated in Delaware on April 25, 2005, as a blank check company formed to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with a then currently unidentified operating business.

The registration statement for HAQ's IPO was declared effective on July 28, 2005. On August 3, 2005, HAQ consummated its IPO of 9,000,000 units, and on August 16, 2005, HAQ 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 expires on July 27, 2009, or earlier upon redemption, and entitles the holder to purchase one share of HAQ common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. The common stock and warrants started trading separately as of October 6, 2005.

The net proceeds from the sale of the HAQ units were approximately $69,450,000. Of this amount, $67,928,000 was deposited in trust and, in accordance with HAQ's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, will be released (with interest) either upon the consummation of a business combination (i.e., the Merger) or upon the liquidation of HAQ. The remaining $1,522,000 has been held outside of the trust for use to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective businesses.
 
-51-


Pursuant to HAQ’s amended and restated articles of incorporation, we must consummate a business combination on or before August 3, 2007 or we must dissolve and liquidate.

During the period beginning August 3, 2005 through January 19, 2007, HAQ was involved in investigating and evaluating prospective businesses regarding potential business combinations. This activity occurred constantly from August 3, 2005 onward until we entered into the Merger Agreement.

During the period from August 2005 through December 2006, HAQ was involved in sourcing and evaluating prospective businesses regarding potential business combinations.

In August 2005, Mr. Matthew Kinley, the President of HAQ, created a list of potential clients that he, Mr. John Pappajohn, Chairman of HAQ, or Dr. Derace M. Schaffer, M.D., Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman of HAQ, would contact to commence the search for targets for a business combination. This list of contacts was primarily individuals HAQ management had contact or prior business dealings with, and included, but was not limited to, the following:

·     Healthcare investment bankers;
 
·     Commercial bankers;
 
·     Business brokers and other “finders”;
 
·     Venture capital fund managers;
 
·     Private equity fund managers’
 
·     CEOs or executive active in the healthcare industry
 
·     Attorneys;
 
·     Accountants;
 
·     Healthcare consultants; and
 
·     Physicians and other healthcare professionals.
 
HAQ management then communicated to these contacts the desire of HAQ to find an attractive healthcare business opportunity. These contacts were made by a combination of Mr. Pappajohn, Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Kinley. In addition, Mr. Kinley made a list of healthcare sectors and companies within such sectors for possible contact and review by HAQ management. On many occasions Mr. Pappajohn, Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Kinley met in person or by teleconference to discuss possible focus sectors of healthcare and specific companies to target. The result of these meetings was a prioritized a list of potential candidates for a business combination. In addition, from August 2005 through January 2007 HAQ management was contacted by various parties regarding possible targets for a business combination. All of these opportunities were either discussed or the relevant information was shared by email, primarily between Messrs. Pappajohn and Kinley and Dr. Schaffer.

Using this list of contacts and targets as a guide, HAQ management attempted to initiate conversations (i) directly with third-party companies they believed could make attractive combination partners, (ii) with professional service providers (attorneys, accountants, consultants and bankers), (iii) with their own network of business associates and friends, and (iv) with third-party intermediaries, including investment bankers and private equity fund managers. HAQ also responded to inquiries or solicitations from (i) companies looking for capital or investment alternatives, and (ii) investment bankers or other similar professionals who represented companies engaged in sale or fund-raising processes. From time to time the list of potential candidates was updated and supplemented based on additional information derived from these discussions with third parties.

In considering potential targets for business combination, HAQ’s management considered, among other factors, the following:

· financial condition and results of operation;

· growth potential;
 
-52-


· 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;

· 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 were not exhaustive. The evaluation relating to the merits of a particular business combination were based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by HAQ’s management in effecting a business combination consistent with HAQ’s business objective. In evaluating a prospective target business, HAQ’s management conducted an extensive due diligence review which encompassed, among other things, meetings with management, where applicable, and inspection of facilities, as well as review of financial and other information which were be made available to us.

As a result of these efforts, HAQ initiated contact, either directly or through a third party intermediary, with approximately 48 potential targets. In addition, HAQ received business plans, financial summaries or presentation books of at least 43 potential target companies. HAQ signed non-disclosure agreements relating to approximately 20 of these potential business combination opportunities. HAQ also had extensive discussions with several target companies with which a non-disclosure agreement was not signed. HAQ was still in discussion with a potential target company other than PharmAthene as late as January 2007, within two weeks of when the Merger Agreement was executed. With respect to each of these business combination opportunities, discussions among HAQ’s management and the targets included financial disclosures, reviews of potential transaction structures, preliminary estimates of transaction values and discussions of management objectives, business plans and projections. Each of the potential target companies with which HAQ engaged in detailed discussions was either part of the initial list created by the HAQ team or was identified through contact described above. Of these contacts, HAQ held detailed discussions with approximately 10 potential target companies, including PharmAthene. Discussions including introductory meetings attended by some combination of Mr. Kinley, Dr. Schaffer and/or Mr. Pappajohn occurred with potential targets on a regular basis during the period from October 2005 through November 2006.

One of the discussions with a potential target company, resulted in a signed letter of intent. HAQ was introduced to a target business in September 2005, received an executive summary in October 2005 and met with management of the target in 2005. After management meetings, including personal interviews of management and other employees, extensive due diligence and review of the target business, HAQ issued a draft letter of intent in January 2006. Subsequent negotiations occurred and a revised letter of intent was executed by both parties in March 2006. After further due diligence, valuation negotiations and preliminary negotiations of a draft definitive agreement, the letter of intent, as amended, expired in November 2006. HAQ did not move forward with that transaction for a variety of reasons, including too great a divergence regarding valuation and final terms of the transaction. The target was a healthcare services business providing service to managed care companies and other healthcare companies. No discussions with potential target companies, other than PharmAthene, resulted in the execution of a definitive agreement regarding a potential business combination.
 
-53-


Based on their experience in investigating investment opportunities, the HAQ management assessed the competition for quality companies that could be a potential target for a business combination and determined that a company that HAQ’s management identified as a suitable potential business combination partner would typically have several alternatives to any potential business combination with HAQ, including remaining independent or selling itself to another third party, as well as obtaining capital either privately or publicly. Additionally, in many cases, HAQ management had to spend time educating a prospective business combination partner about “blank check” companies and explaining, from HAQ management’s perspective, the benefits of a combination with HAQ over other alternatives they may be considering. The reasons varied for why HAQ did not reach agreement with potential business combination partners other than PharmAthene. For example, after detailed discussions with one potential target, the HAQ management team did not feel sufficiently comfortable with the target company’s forecasted financial performance and the likelihood that management could meet such forcasted performance results. Upon HAQ’s requirement for a greater portion of the purchase price to be contingent on performance, negotiations faltered. In another case, HAQ determined that the potential target business was too highly valued and a competitive bidding situation had reduced the possibility of an attractive deal for the HAQ stockholders.

On June 8, 2006, PharmAthene entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “SIGA Merger Agreement”) with SIGA Technologies, Inc. (“SIGA”), a Delaware corporation engaged in the development and commercialization of novel anti-infectives, antibiotics and vaccines for serious infectious diseases including products for use in defense against biological warfare agents such as smallpox and arena viruses, and SIGA Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation with no business operations organized solely as an acquisition vehicle to effect the merger. Pursuant to the terms of the SIGA Merger Agreement, it was estimated that stockholders of PharmAthene would receive up to 91.3 million shares of SIGA common stock (including shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options). On October 4, 2006, PharmAthene received from SIGA a notice of termination of the SIGA Merger Agreement which SIGA was entitled to issue pursuant to the terms of the agreement which provided that either party had the right to terminate the SIGA Merger Agreement if the closing of the merger had not occurred by September 30, 2006. No stated reason for the termination was contained in SIGA’s notice of termination. The value of the shares of SIGA common stock which were issuable as merger consideration, based upon the trading prices of SIGA common stock during the period from the announcement of the proposed merger through the date of the notice of termination of the SIGA Merger Agreement, fluctuated between approximately $118.7 million to $162.5 million but would have increased significantly to approximately $414.5 million on October 18, 2007, following SIGA’s announcement that one of its drugs had demonstrated 100% protection against human smallpox virus in a primate trial.

On October 5, 2006, Mr. Kinley was contacted by counsel to PharmAthene. The management of HAQ had previously been involved with companies that were represented by counsel to PharmAthene. During the call, PharmAthene’s counsel inquired if HAQ had committed to an acquisition. Mr. Kinley responded that HAQ was engaged in discussions with another healthcare company, but it had not yet signed a definitive merger agreement. PharmAthene’s counsel inquired whether HAQ would consider discussing a possible business combination with PharmAthene. There are no direct business relations between any of the officers, directors or principal stockholders of HAQ and any of the officers, directors or principal stockholders of PharmAthene. However, counsel to PharmAthene also serves as counsel to a company on which Mr. Pappajohn, Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Berger serve as members of the Board of Directors and of which Wayne Schellhammer, a member of the HAQ Board of Directors, is the President and Chief Executive Officer. There were no prior discussions between counsel to PharmAthene and any of Messrs. Pappajohn or Schellhammer or Dr. Schaffer or prior to October 5, 2006 concerning a possible transaction between of PharmAthene and HAQ.

On October 6, 2006, at the suggestion of counsel, James Cavanaugh, PhD., a member of the Board of Directors of PharmAthene, spoke by telephone with Messrs. Pappajohn and Kinley to discuss the status of HAQ and the feasibility of a possible merger between HAQ and PharmAthene.

Berger and Schellhammer to keep them apprised of the progress of the negotiations, due diligence and other matters related to the Merger with PharmAthene.

During the meeting, with the assistance of representatives of Bear Stearns, PharmAthene presented its position regarding an increased valuation of the business of PharmAthene and pointed out that, because of the substantial number of warrants to purchase common stock of HAQ that are outstanding, the value of HAQ stock should be discounted. Protracted discussions ensued regarding the valuation generally of securities issued by companies such as HAQ particularly when there are a substantial number of outstanding warrants.

On the evening of November 7, 2006, Dr. Schaffer met with Messrs. Wright and Richman for dinner to further discuss issues relating to the management of PharmAthene, the technology and general due diligence items.

Interests of HAQ Directors and Officers in the Merger

In considering the recommendation of the Board of Directors of HAQ to vote for the proposals to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Merger, you should be aware that certain members of the HAQ Board have agreements or arrangements that provide them with interests in the Merger that differ from, or are in addition to, those of HAQ stockholders generally. In particular:

 
 
 
 
·
 if the Merger is not approved, HAQ will be required to adopt a plan to liquidate and dissolve, and the shares of common stock and warrants held by HAQ's executive officers and directors will be worthless because HAQ's executive officers and directors are not entitled to receive any of the net proceeds of HAQ's IPO that may be distributed upon liquidation of HAQ. HAQ's executive officers and directors own a total 2,250,000 shares of HAQ common stock that have a market value of $16,695,000 based on HAQ's share price of $7.42 as of April 18, 2007. HAQ's executive officers and directors also own a total of 366,900 warrants to purchase shares of HAQ common stock that have a market value of $403,590 based on HAQ's warrant price of $1.10 as of April 18, 2007. Such warrants were purchased on the open market pursuant to the terms of a 10b5-1 plan. However, as HAQ's executive officers, Directors and special advisors are contractually prohibited from selling their shares of common stock prior to July 27, 2008, during which time the value of the shares may increase or decrease, it is impossible to determine what the financial impact if the Merger is not approved would be on HAQ's executive officers and directors;
 
 
 
 
·
 it is currently anticipated that John Pappajohn and Derace M. Schaffer, M.D., both of whom are current Directors of HAQ, will continue as Directors of the combined company.

HAQ's Reasons for the Merger and Recommendation of the HAQ Board

Based upon its evaluation, our Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Merger with PharmAthene and determined that it is in the best interests of HAQ and our stockholders. No fairness opinion was sought or obtained by our Board of Directors in reaching its determination.
 
In the prospectus relating to our IPO, we stated our intention to focus our pursuit of a business combination on targets in the healthcare industry and in areas where our management has significant expertise. We believe that the Merger meets these investment objectives.
 
Our Board of Directors also considered a wide variety of other factors in connection with its evaluation of the Merger. 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 addition to the various risks discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 25, in reaching its determination that the Merger is in the best interests of HAQ’s stockholders and to approve the Merger and enter into the Merger Agreement.
 
-59-

 
In considering the Merger, our Board of Directors gave consideration to the following positive factors:
 
 
·
Financial Analysis. Management of HAQ undertook a financial analysis of PharmAthene in order to determine that the value of the consideration to be issued by HAQ in connection with the Merger is fair and reasonable. Management considered very carefully traditional standards generally accepted by the financial community in evaluating the value of a business entity including potential sales, potential earnings, cash flow and book value of assets. However, in evaluating PharmAthene, HAQ management recognized that PharmAthene is involved in a relatively new sector, a unique industry, the biodefense industry, which may not be as easily subject to traditional valuation criteria. Accordingly, HAQ management applied what it perceived to be generally accepted standards for evaluating companies in the biotechnology industry which, in addition to factors such as potential sales, earnings and cash flow, included an analysis of the particular market for potential products, the likelihood of development of the products and the unique supplemental value that might be derived from PharmAthene’s intellectual property position.
 
HAQ management focused primarily on the two potential products under development, being Valortim™ and Protexia®. Management identified the potential market for each of Valortim™ and Protexia®. In evaluating the market, management identified the designation by the U.S. government of anthrax as a significant threat to national security for which the government has mandated the procurement, on an expedited basis, of antidotes for the strategic national stockpile. HAQ management then considered the cost basis for the development and production of biodefense products. First, HAQ management noted the reduced regulatory approval process required for biodefense products, resulting in reduced costs for product development. Second, HAQ management noted the unique ability PharmAthene has demonstrated to secure funding from the U.S. government to fund research and development. Finally, HAQ management noted the advanced stage of development achieved by PharmAthene of each of Valortim™ and Protexia® and the limited amount of additional cost necessary for the completion and sale of these products. HAQ management also considered the value of the intellectual property position of PharmAthene.
 
 
·
Historical valuations. HAQ management recognized that PharmAthene raised equity from a very sophisticated group of inventors, including MPM Capital, HealthCare Ventures and Bear Stearns Health Innoventures which determined a valuation for PharmAthene in connection with the investment. HAQ management believes that there was no reason on which to base a reduction in such valuation. In fact, Management identified with PharmAthene executives significant advances in the PharmAthene business since such time. HAQ management also reviewed the valuation ascribed by SIGA to the business of PharmAthene in connection with the previously contemplated transaction with SIGA which had been terminated.

In each instance, HAQ management determined that the valuation for PharmAthene was, in fact, equal to or greater than the value of the consideration ascribed for PharmAthene.

 
·
Industry Recognition. PharmAthene has a strong presence and commitment to the development of products for use in the defense against agents of biological warfare which can be seen in its significant involvement in the industry including that its Chief Executive Officer, David P. Wright, is co-chair of the Alliance for Biosecurity, that its management is called on to testify before the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives on biodefense matters and that it is involved in assisting the Biodefense Advanced Research and Development Authority in drafting legislation. 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.

 
·
Industry Presence. 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 is a leading company in the biodefense industry having possible defense products in two of the U.S. government’s identified top five priority categories for biodefense (i.e. anthrax and nerve agent (the remaining three being smallpox, botulinum toxin and radiation)). The biodefense industry is a significant market in the U.S. and abroad due to the threat of biological warfare and PharmAthene has been awarded a contract with the Department of Defense for its product Protexia® which, including options and extensions, could amount to $213 in revenues.

-60-


·
Valuation of Comparable Companies. HAQ management reviewed with the Board of Directors the valuations of at least six companies deemed to be comparable to PharmAthene and reviewed the valuation of PharmAthene in light of the valuation of each of these comparative enterprises. Five of such companies were publicly traded and one was a subsidiary of a public company. Each was engaged in the development of at least one biodefense product. HAQ management reviewed the stage of development of each and reviewed whether or not such companies had received government funding, the experience of its management and other factors deemed relevant to such analysis. HAQ management then evaluated for the Board the relative valuation of each, in light of these factors as compared to PharmAthene.

 
·
Management Strength. PharmAthene has an experienced management team including David P. Wright, PharmAthene’s Chief Executive Officer, who has participated in the development and marketing of many successful drug launches including, among others, the launch of Zantac® by GlaxoSmithKline, Inc. and the launch of Cytogam®, Synagis®.and Respigam® by MedImmune, Inc.

 
·
Government Contract Awards. PharmAthene has demonstrated an ability to succeed in its industry, having been awarded U.S. government contracts including, a $35 million contract with the Department of Defense for Protexia® (with options for up to $213 million in total contract value) and a $1.8 million contract with the Department of Defense for Valortim™. The Board identified these government awards as validation of PharmAthene’s position in the industry.

 
·
HAQ Management Experience. The experience of HAQ’s management, in particular, Mr. Pappajohn and Dr. Schaffer, in building, consolidating and investing in similar businesses in the U.S. including relationships HAQ could introduce to PharmAthene could potentially enhance its growth.

 
·
Involvement of PharmAthene Security Holders. The involvement of certain of the stockholders and noteholders of PharmAthene, whom HAQ believes represent strong long term investors with experience in venture transactions and growth companies could be beneficial to the combined company.

Satisfaction of 80% requirement
 
We represented in the prospectus relating to our IPO that the business acquired by us in our initial business combination would have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of our net assets at the time of the transaction, including the funds held in the trust account. Based on the financial analysis by our Board of Directors generally in evaluating and approving the acquisition, and the factors enumerated above, our Board of Directors determined that the Merger with PharmAthene meets this requirement.
 
Our Board of Directors has determined that the fair market value of the assets being purchased was at least equal to the total consideration being paid of approximately $110 million (based upon a HAQ share price of $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 Board of Directors also considered, on a limited basis, the terms of the transaction between PharmAthene and SIGA Technologies, Inc. which was terminated in October 2006, in establishing a value for PharmAthene. The range of the fair market value exceeds $57 million, which is 80% of our net asset value of approximately $71 million as of December 31, 2006.
 
The terms of the 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 for the Merger 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. Our Board of Directors did not seek or obtain an opinion of an outside fairness or valuation advisor as to whether the 80% test has been met.

United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

As the stockholders of HAQ are not receiving any consideration or exchanging any of their outstanding securities in connection with the Merger with PharmAthene and are simply being asked to vote on the matters, it is not expected that the stockholders will have any tax related issues as a result of voting on these matters. However, if you vote against the Merger Proposal and elect a cash conversion of your shares of HAQ into your pro-rata portion of the trust fund and as a result receive cash in exchange for your HAQ shares, there may be certain tax consequences, such as realizing a loss on your investment in HAQ's shares. WE URGE YOU TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING YOUR PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

The Merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition and equity recapitalization, with HAQ treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, the transaction is being treated as an acquisition of assets and not a business combination because HAQ did not meet the definition of a business under EITF 98-3, Determination Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business. Accordingly, the transaction has been treated as a capital transaction whereby PharmAthene is issuing stock for the net monetary assets of HAQ, accompanied by a recapitalization.
 
Regulatory Matters

The Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are not subject to any federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, and except for filings necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Proposal and the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment proposal with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

Consequences if Merger Proposal is Not Approved

If the Merger Proposal is not approved by the stockholders, HAQ will not merge with PharmAthene. In addition, HAQ would not effect the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment or adopt the Incentive Plan. In such an event it s likely that management of HAQ will not have the time, resources or capital available to find a suitable business combination partner before (i) the proceeds in the trust account are liquidated to holders of shares purchased in HAQ's IPO and (ii) HAQ is dissolved pursuant to the trust agreement, in accordance with HAQ's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and following stockholder approval as required by Delaware law.

We expect that we would initiate proceedings to liquidate and dissolve within 5 days following stockholder disapproval of the Merger Proposal. We would be required, under Delaware law, to obtain stockholder approval of a plan of dissolution. We cannot distribute any proceeds in the trust account without stockholder approval of the plan of dissolution and liquidation. Although there can be no assurance of the plan of dissolution and liquidation, we would continue to seek stockholder approval of a plan of dissolution.

If a liquidation were to occur by approximately August 3, 2007, HAQ estimates that with the interest that would accrue on the amounts that are held in trust through such date, the trust balance would be approximately $72,280,000 million or $7.68 per share . This amount, less any liabilities not indemnified by certain members of HAQ's Board and not waived by HAQ's creditors, would be distributed to the holders of the 9,400,000 shares of common stock purchased in HAQ's IPO. HAQ currently estimates that, at the end of April 2007, there would be approximately $337,000 in Delaware franchise tax and state income tax claims which are not indemnified and not waived by such taxing authorities. Thus, HAQ estimates that the total amount available for distribution upon liquidation would be approximately $71,943,000 million or $7.65 per share.

Separately, HAQ estimates that the dissolution process would cost approximately $50,000 to $75,000 and that HAQ would be indemnified for such costs by certain of the HAQ executive officers and directors. Such officers and directors have acknowledged and agreed that such costs are covered by their existing indemnification agreement. We do not believe there would be any claims or liabilities against which certain of HAQ’s executive officers and directors have agreed to indemnify the trust account in the event of such dissolution. In the event that such persons indemnifying HAQ are unable to satisfy their indemnification obligation or in the event that there are subsequent claims such as subsequent non-vendor claims for which such persons have no indemnification obligation, the amount ultimately distributed to stockholders may be reduced even further. However, HAQ currently has no basis to believe there will be any such liabilities or to provide an estimate of any such liabilities. The only cost of dissolution that HAQ is aware of that would not be indemnified against by such officers and directors of HAQ is the cost of any associated litigation.

Required Vote
 
Approval of the Merger Proposal will require: (1) that a majority of the shares of our common stock issued in our IPO present in person or by proxy at the special meeting vote in favor of the proposal; and (2) that holders of 20% or more of the shares issued in our initial public offering do not vote against the Merger and demand to convert their shares into cash. Assuming the presence of a quorum of more than 50% of the shares of our common stock issued in IPO, the failure to vote, broker non-votes or abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Recommendation

After careful consideration, HAQ's Board of Directors has determined unanimously that the Merger Proposal and the terms of the Merger are fair to, and in the best interests of, HAQ and its stockholders. HAQ's Board of Directors has approved and declared advisable the Merger Proposal and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instructions to vote “FOR” the Merger Proposal.

In making its recommendation, in addition to the various factors described above, the Board of Directors considered the following positive factors:
 
 
·
The biodefense industry has experienced significant attention and growth in revenue due to the increased risk of material threats using biologic weapons.
 
-63-

 
 
 
·
The significant amount of government funding available to fund development expenses, which results in a lower capital requirement than similar businesses that do not have the opportunity for government funding. The opportunity for development funds which would provide an advantage to our stockholders through the possibility of lower dilution.
     
 
·
The quality and experience of the PharmAthene management team, specifically David Wright, the CEO of PharmAthene, who has participated in the development and marketing of many successful drug launches including, among others, the launch of Zantac® by GlaxoSmithKline, Inc. and the launch of CytoGam®, Synagis®.and Respigam® by MedImmune, Inc.
     
 
·
The potential life changing impact on the U.S. and world populations and revenue opportunity associated with this potential.
     
 
·
The attractive financial opportunity presented by PharmAthene’s two lead products Valortim™ and Protexia®. The advanced stage of development achieved by PharmAthene of each of Valortim™ and Protexia® and the limited amount of additional cost necessary for the completion and sale of these products indicates an attractive return potential for the HAQ stockholders.

 
·
The significant backgrounds and track records of PharmAthene’s financial backers.
     
 
·
The quality of the two lead products, Valortim™ and Protexia®, as evidenced by research results and awarded contracts with the U.S. government.

 
·
PharmAthene’s business strategy which is focused on development of medical countermeasures products to address for material threats, as identified and funded by the U.S. government.

 
·
PharmAthene’s demonstrated ability to execute on its strategy having been awarded U.S. government contracts including, a $35 million contract with the Department of Defense for Protexia® (with options for up to $213 million in total contract value) and a $1.8 million contract with the Department of Defense for Valortim™. 
     
 
·
The development and approval process for biodefense products which is less risk-laden and less capital intensive than non biodefense products because human efficacy trials are not required.
     
 
·
Products initially developed for biodefense applications may have applicability in other indications, such as PharmAthene’s recombinant version of BChE as a possible clinical candidate for treatment of cocaine and heroin addiction.
     
 
·
PharmAthene has industry leading presence and recognition. PharmAthene has significant involvement in the industry including; demonstrated leadership of the Alliance for Biosecurity, that its management is called on to testify before the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate Congressional Committees on biodefense matters and that it is active supporter of legislation.

 
·
The favorable valuation of PharmAthene compared to at least six companies deemed by HAQ management to be comparable to PharmAthene. Each of the comparable companies was engaged in the development of at least one biodefense product.
 
The Board considered the following to be potential negative factors related to the Merger:
 
 
·
The inherent risk associated with development of therapeutic products, including negative data from animal trials or human safety trials.
     
 
·
The lack of current marketable products and receipt of product revenues. PharmAthene’s revenues since inception have been from development funding and not from the sale of marketable products.
 
-64-

 
     
 
·
The losses and negative cash used in operations required significant resources to further develop PharmAthene’s products.
     
 
·
PharmAthene will not have significant cash available on its balance sheet at closing.
     
 
·
There are many well-funded competitors that may be preferential to customers and funding partners or be able to develop more clinically efficacious products.

 
·
Political factors may impact the buying pattern, program funding, and purchase decisions of the U.S. government and other potential customers. For example, the U.S. government may purchase less product than anticipated for the strategic national stockpile.
     
 
·
The risks associated with PharmAthene’s litigation with SIGA, including the opportunity cost and the management distraction with the litigation.
     
 
·
The significant amount of capital needed to be competitive in the development of therapeutic products and the possible dilution to HAQ stockholders if additional capital is needed.
 
 
·
The risk of maintaining senior management that has developed the current strategy and relationships.
     
 
·
The assumption of PharmAthene’s $11.8 million of convertible notes and other liabilities which potentially weakens the financial position of HAQ.

The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the HAQ Board of Directors is not meant to be exhaustive, but includes the material information and factors considered by the HAQ Board of Directors.

 THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR'' THE MERGER PROPOSAL.

THE AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
 
The following summary describes the material provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger. The provisions of the Merger Agreement are complicated and not easily summarized. This summary may not contain all of the information about the Merger Agreement that is important to you. The Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement, and we encourage you to read it carefully in its entirety for a more complete understanding of the Agreement and Plan of Merger.
 
General
 
The Agreement and Plan of Merger, sometimes referred to herein as the Merger Agreement, provides that upon the consummation of the Merger, PharmAthene will be merged into PAI Acquisition Corp., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ, sometimes referred to herein sometimes as “Merger Sub”. PharmAthene will survive the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ, and stockholders of PharmAthene will exchange their PharmAthene equity interests for 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock thereby becoming equityholders of HAQ and, potentially, milestone payments not to exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate, while noteholders of PharmAthene will exchange currently-outstanding 8% convertible notes of PharmAthene for new 8% convertible notes of HAQ in the amount of $12,500,000 with a maturity date two years from the date of issuance.
 
The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will occur promptly after the last of the conditions to the Merger has been satisfied or waived, or at such other time as HAQ and PharmAthene agree. Contemporaneously with or as soon as practicable after that time, HAQ and PharmAthene will file a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger will become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger or at such other time as HAQ and PharmAthene may agree. HAQ and PharmAthene currently expect that the completion of the Merger will take place in the second calendar quarter of 2007. However, because the Merger is subject to stockholder approval and other customary conditions, HAQ and PharmAthene cannot predict exactly when or if the Merger will occur.
 
Stock Consideration
 
The shares of HAQ common stock to be allocated to the holders of PharmAthene capital stock in the Merger will be distributed to the holders of PharmAthene capital stock as follows:
 
· the holders of PharmAthene common stock will receive, on a pro rata basis (determined based on the number of shares of PharmAthene common stock held by such holder) divided among the holders thereof, 4.9708% of the total number of shares of HAQ common stock allocated in the Merger to the holders of PharmAthene capital stock;
 
· the holders of PharmAthene Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will receive, on a pro rata basis (determined based on the number of shares of PharmAthene Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder) divided among the holders thereof, 14.9657% of the total number of shares of HAQ common stock allocated in the Merger to the holders of PharmAthene capital stock;
 
· the holders of PharmAthene Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will receive, on a pro rata basis (determined based on the number of shares of PharmAthene Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder) divided among the holders thereof, 43.9882% of the total number of shares of HAQ common stock allocated in the Merger to the holders of PharmAthene capital stock;
 
· the holders of PharmAthene Series C Convertible Preferred Stock will receive, on a pro rata basis (determined based on the number of shares of PharmAthene Series C Convertible Preferred Stock held by such holder and the number of shares of PharmAthene Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued in connection with PharmAthene’s existing loan facility which are being assumed by HAQ) divided among the holders thereof, 32.2427% of the total number of shares of HAQ common stock allocated in the Merger to the holders of PharmAthene capital stock;
 
-66-

 
· an aggregate of 3.8325% of the total number of shares of HAQ common stock allocated in the Merger to the holders of PharmAthene capital stock shall be reserved by HAQ for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock which are assumed by HAQ in the Merger;
 
·  the 22,108,669 shares of PharmAthene common stock and shares represented by outstanding options and common stock warrants will convert into approximately 1,100,400 shares of HAQ common stock, or a 20.08 to 1 exchange ratio; the 16,442,000 issued and outstanding shares of PharmAthene Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will convert into approximately 1,870,700 shares of HAQ common stock, or a 8.79 to 1 exchange ratio; the 30,448,147 issued and outstanding shares of PharmAthene Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will convert into approximately 5,498,500 shares of HAQ common stock, or a 5.54 to 1 exchange ratio; the 17,976,586 shares of PharmAthene Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (representing 17,538,133 issued and outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and 438,353 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock underlying warrants) will convert into approximately 4,030,300 shares of HAQ common stock, or a 4.46 to 1 exchange ratio.
 
At the effective time of the Merger, all options to purchase shares of PharmAthene stock then outstanding under the PharmAthene, Inc. 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “PharmAthene Plan”) or issued under any other agreement, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by HAQ. The per-share exercise price for the shares of HAQ common stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed outstanding PharmAthene option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of PharmAthene common stock at which such outstanding PharmAthene option was exercisable immediately prior to the closing of the Merger by the share exchange ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent. The average exercise price of the 9,625,197 existing stock options and common stock warrants pre Merger is $0.20.  Using the exchange ratio of 0.0498, this results in 479,065 stock options and common stock warrants subsequent to the Merger with an average exercise price of $4.02.  Outstanding common stock warrants of 10,856,917 million to purchase PharmAthene common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 will be eliminated post Merger.  Outstanding preferred stock warrants of 5,261,442 million to purchase PharmAthene preferred stock at an exercise price of $0.91 will also be eliminated post Merger. There will be no additional options or warrants granted in connection with, or as a result of the proposed Merger.
 
Other than warrants to purchase 263,296 shares of common stock of PharmAthene and warrants to purchase 438,457 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued in connection with PharmAthene’s existing loan facility, all warrants to purchase shares of PharmAthene capital stock will be cancelled immediately prior to the closing of the Merger.
 
As of March 31, 2007, there were 11,650,000 shares of HAQ common stock outstanding. The fully diluted number of shares of common stock, assuming the exercise of all outstanding warrants to purchase HAQ common stock, was 21,050,000 as of March 31, 2007 (but excluding the warrants underlying the unit purchase option). Assuming no change in HAQ capitalization between the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger, 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock would be allocated to the PharmAthene equityholders in the manner described above.

The foregoing allocation may be revised to reflect the exercise or termination of warrants or options to purchase PharmAthene common stock which occurs after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to the closing of the Merger. Additionally, the 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock issued as merger consideration will be subject to adjustment to the extent that the stockholders of HAQ owning more than 5% of the outstanding HAQ Common Stock exercise their conversion rights, the number of shares of HAQ common stock comprising the stock consideration shall be adjusted upward by the product of (x) the number (as a percentage) that is the difference between the percentage of HAQ common stock that is converted and 5% and (y) 2.25 million.
 
-67-

 
The actual number of shares of HAQ common stock to be paid to the holders of each class and series of PharmAthene stock will change only if the 5% contingency described above occurs between the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger. In addition, the number of outstanding shares of PharmAthene’s common stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or Series C Convertible Preferred Stock could change upon the occurrence of certain events including, but not limited to, (i) the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of either common stock or Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) the exercise of options to purchase common stock, or (iii) the conversion of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into PharmAthene common stock.
 
At the closing, all series of preferred stock of PharmAthene are surrendered for conversion, all warrants held by the holders of the PharmAthene preferred stock will be terminated, and all related agreements previously entered into by the holders of the preferred stock and PharmAthene will be terminated.
 
All of the noteholders of PharmAthene will surrender their notes for exchange into the new 8% notes of HAQ.
 
All registration rights, security agreements and any other agreement related to the preferred stock and notes of PharmAthene entered into by the holders of the preferred stock and /or noteholders will be terminated.
 
No fractional shares of HAQ common stock will be issued in the Merger. All fractional shares of HAQ common stock to be distributed to an individual stockholder of PharmAthene will be aggregated before determining whether a fractional share remains. Any remaining fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable in the Merger will be paid in cash. Due to the limited number of PharmAthene security holders who may receive fractional shares, the amount of cash required for fractional share payments will be immaterial.
 
8% Convertible Notes to be Issued and Note Exchange Agreement
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we have agreed to issue new 8% convertible notes to the holders of PharmAthene’s outstanding 8% convertible notes. The new notes will be in the aggregate principal amount of $12,500,000 and will replace the existing PharmAthene notes in the principal amount of $11,800,000. The new notes will be obligations of HAQ, not PharmAthene, and have a maturity date two years from the date of issuance.
 
The new notes will be issued, pursuant to the terms of a Note Exchange Agreement and the PharmAthene notes will be cancelled, as well as all existing agreements related to such notes. Unless waived by HAQ, it is a condition to closing that all of the existing PharmAthene notes be cancelled at closing.
 
The new 8% convertible notes will accrue, with simple interest at 8% per annum (based upon a 360 day year), except, after an event of default, the interest rate will increase to 12% per annum. Such interest shall only be payable upon repayment of the notes. Prior to the payment of interest upon repayment, interest shall accrue at the applicable interest rate and be payable by way of inclusion of the interest in the “conversion amount” as defined in the notes. The maturity date for payment of all principal and interest on the new notes is two years from the date of closing.
 
The principal amount of the notes and any accrued interest are convertible into shares of HAQ’s common stock at the option of the holders at any time based upon an initial conversion rate of $10.00 per share. The noteholder is required to provide us with a written notice of the amount of his/her/its note to be converted. If we fail to deliver a share certificate to the holder requesting conversion within seven business days of the request to convert, we may incur a penalty equal to 1.5% per day of the product of the number of shares being requesting and the closing sale price of our common stock on the day of the request for conversion.
 
-68-

 
The conversion rate is not subject to adjustment except for certain corporate events such as stock splits, dividends and the like. There are no “price protection” adjustments which otherwise would require an adjustment in the conversion ratio as a result of the sale or issuance by us of shares of our common stock.
 
Upon a “change of control” as defined in the notes, noteholders may require HAQ that redeem all (but not less than all) of their notes for a price equal to the principal amount then outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal and any accrued and unpaid late charges with respect to such principal and interest, provided, however, that at least two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding submit optional change of control redemption notices.
 
A “change of control” generally means (1) HAQ shall (a) a consolidate or merge with or into another person or subsidiary of another person in which the beneficial owners of HAQ then outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own securities representing 50% or more of the aggregate voting power of then outstanding voting securities of the resulting or acquiring corporation (or any parent thereof), or their equivalent if other than a corporation, or (b) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the HAQ to another person, or (c) be the subject of a purchase, tender or exchange offer that is accepted by the holders of more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock (not including any shares of common stock held by the person or persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the persons making or party to, such purchase, tender or exchange offer), or (d) consummate a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another person whereby such other person or parent of such other person acquires more than the 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock (not including any shares of common stock held by the other person or other persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons making or party to, such stock purchase agreement or other business combination), (2) any time the HAQ’s continuing directors do not constitute a majority of the HAQ’s Board of Directors (or, if applicable, a successor entity”), or (3) a termination of trading.
 
Upon a “significant transaction” as defined in the notes, noteholders may require HAQ to redeem all (but not less than all) of their notes for a price equal to the principal amount then outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal and any accrued and unpaid late charges with respect to such principal and interest. A “significant transaction” generally means any “fundamental transaction” as defined in the note or other corporate transaction, or series of transactions, (including but not limited to, any acquisition, disposition, merger, license or collaboration, joint venture, financing or securities offering) that would result in either (x) the issuance of common stock and/or convertible securities that would exceed 40% of the Common Stock outstanding prior to the transaction or (y) the payment or receipt of cash or other consideration of in excess of $25 million, unless such transaction has been approved by the two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding.
 
Commencing upon the 12 month anniversary of issuance, we can prepay the notes, in full or in part, on not less than 30 days’ but not more than 60 days’ prior notice after the one year anniversary of the Merger, during which time the note holders can convert their notes into our common stock at the then current conversion price. If we seek to prepay the notes, we are required to pay the principal amount and all accrued interest. If we send out a notice to the holders stating that we are redeeming the notes, and then fail to pay the redemption price within five business days of the date set for redemption, the holders can request that we re-issue the notes surrendered for redemption or conversion and we will be required to reduce the conversion price of the note to equal to the lowest closing bid price of our common stock during the redemption period.
 
Under the terms of these agreements, the noteholders have a right to designate three persons on our Board of Directors for so long as at least 30% of the original principal amount of the notes remains outstanding. This is one of the reasons we are requesting, as part of Proposal 2, to amend our certificate of incorporation. See Proposal 2 beginning on page 84 for a further discussion of this right.
 
Each of the noteholders will be entitled to the rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, as discussed below. In addition to the rights granted under the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed that the noteholders will be entitled to certain “penalty” provisions for the failure by us to satisfy the obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. If we fail to file a registration statement within sixty days after closing of the Merger or fail to obtain an order of effectiveness within one hundred eighty days of closing, there will be imposed a penalty of 1% of the aggregate amount of the notes ($125,000) for each such failure. Further, we will incur a further penalty of 1% of the principal amount of the notes for every thirty days that such failure continues or for any period in excess of two days after effectiveness that the holders cannot avail themselves of the use of the registration statement.
 
-69-

 
We have agreed to reserve for issuance a number of shares equal to 120% of the total number of shares issuable upon conversion at the then current conversion rate. If we fail to maintain the required reserve amount, we are obligated to obtain stockholder approval to increase our authorized shares within seventy-five days.
 
We agreed with the noteholders that we would file a listing application with AMEX for the listing of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes.
 
Upon an event of default the principal and accrued interest becomes due and payable. As defined under the notes, an event of default includes the following events:
 
·     HAQ’s failure to pay to the holder any amount of principal when and as due;
 
·     HAQ’s failure to pay to the holder any amount of interest, late charges or other amounts when and as due under the Note if such failure continues for a period of at least thirty business days;
 
·     any acceleration prior to maturity of any indebtedness of the definition thereof of HAQ or any of our subsidiaries which individually or in the aggregate is equal to or greater than $250,000 principal amount of indebtedness;
 
·     HAQ or any of our material subsidiaries, (A) commences a voluntary case, (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (C) consents to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official, (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or (E) admits in writing that it is generally unable to pay its debts as they become due;
 
·     a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any bankruptcy law that is not vacated, set aside or reversed within sixty (60) days that (A) is for relief against HAQ or any of our material subsidiaries in an involuntary case, (B) appoints a custodian or any of its material subsidiaries or (C) orders the liquidation of HAQ or any of our material subsidiaries;
 
·     a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $5,000,000 are rendered against HAQ or any of our Subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within sixty days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within sixty days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, that any judgment which is covered by insurance or an indemnity from a credit worthy party shall not be included in calculating the $5,000,000 amount set forth above so long as HAQ provides the holder a written statement from such insurer or indemnity provider (which written statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holder) to the effect that such judgment is covered by insurance or an indemnity and HAQ will receive the proceeds of such insurance or indemnity within sixty days of the issuance of such judgment;
 
·     HAQ breaches any covenant or agreement or materially breaches any representation or warranty in any of the Notes, the Note Exchange Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement and such breach continues for a period of at least thirty days after written notice thereof from one or more Holders to HAQ; or
 
if at any time while at least thirty percent (30%) of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes outstanding (x) the Board of Directors fails to include three Directors designated by the noteholders or (y) without the consent of the persons then serving as noteholder directors, the Board of Directors exceeds seven directors, or the compensation committee or nominating committee (or other committees serving similar functions) exceeds three members, or (z) the noteholder directors are not afforded the right to appoint two members of each of the compensation committee and nominating committee (or committees serving similar functions). See Proposal 2 beginning on page 74 for a more detailed description.

Milestone Payments
 
  Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, HAQ has agreed that the PharmAthene stockholders (including the holders of common stock, options and warrants) would be entitled to additional consideration equal to 10% of the actual collections on gross sales of Valortim™ to the United States federal government (or a department thereof) until the earlier of (A) December 31, 2009, or (B) total aggregate milestone payments to such holders equal $10 million. The Milestone Payments are conditioned upon receipt by PharmAthene of an award, procurement or other contract (x) on or before December 31, 2007; (y) which provides for a procurement by the U.S. government (or a department thereof) of doses or treatments equal to or greater than 60,000; and (z) with a total contract value of $150 million or more. If these conditions are not satisfied, no Milestone Payments will be paid or due. Any Milestone Payments owed will be determined, in arrears, by HAQ within forty-five days of the end of each fiscal quarter based on actual collections from the U.S. government (or a department thereof) of gross sales, and will be paid within three business days of such determination.

Effect of Merger on PharmAthene Options and Warrants
 
At the effective time of the Merger, all options to purchase shares of PharmAthene stock then outstanding under the PharmAthene, Inc. 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “PharmAthene Plan”) or issued under any other agreement, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by HAQ. Each such outstanding PharmAthene option so assumed by HAQ shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the PharmAthene Plan, option agreements thereunder and other relevant documentation in existence immediately prior to the Merger, except that each such outstanding PharmAthene option will be converted into an option to purchase that number of shares of HAQ common stock calculated by multiplying the number of PharmAthene shares underlying such outstanding PharmAthene option by the share exchange ratio and rounding to the nearest whole share of HAQ common stock. The per-share exercise price for the shares of HAQ common stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed outstanding PharmAthene option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of PharmAthene common stock at which such outstanding PharmAthene option was exercisable immediately prior to the closing of the Merger by the share exchange ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent. PharmAthene has, as of the date hereof, options and warrants to acquire 9,625,197 shares of its common stock. The share exchange ratio for common stock, the common stock options and common stock warrants is .0498. As a consequence, HAQ shall grant 479,065 options and common stock warrants with an average exercise price of $4.02 per share in exchange for all of the PharmAthene options and common stock warrants assumed by HAQ.
 
Except for 263,296 common stock warrants and 438,457 Series C Convertible Preferred Stock warrants, all other warrants will be terminated. The common stock warrants will be converted into warrants to acquire HAQ common stock and adjusted to reflect the 0498 ratio and the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock warrants will be converted into warrants to acquire HAQ common stock and adjusted to reflect the .2242 ratio.
 
HAQ has agreed to establish a new incentive plan containing terms no less favorable to holders of outstanding PharmAthene options and HAQ shall reserve for issuance under such plan a sufficient number of shares of HAQ common stock for delivery upon exercise of outstanding PharmAthene options assumed by HAQ under the Merger Agreement, as well as an additional 3,000,000 shares of HAQ common stock. See Proposal 3 beginning on page 86 for description of the Incentive Plan.
 
Unless provided for in the option grant or PharmAthene Plan, the vesting of each outstanding PharmAthene option will not automatically accelerate pursuant to its terms as a result of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby.

Representations and Warranties of the Parties

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by each of HAQ and Merger Sub on the one hand, and PharmAthene on the other, regarding various aspects of their respective businesses, financial condition and structure, as well as other facts pertinent to the Merger.

If certain deadlines set forth in the Merger Agreement are not met, and if prior to the closing date there shall have been a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of either party contained in the Merger Agreement or any representation or warranty of either party contained in the Merger Agreement shall have become untrue after the date of the Merger Agreement, which breach or untrue representation or warranty cannot be cured as described in the Merger Agreement, then the non-terminating party may be liable to the other for a termination fee of $250,000 which in the case of PharmAthene, is limited to all cash held outside of HAQ’s trust fund.

Indemnification of Claims and Escrow of Shares

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders of PharmAthene agreed to indemnify HAQ for the breach of any representations or warranties or covenants by PharmAthene and agreed that 1,375,000 shares from the merger consideration will be placed into escrow which shares will be used to satisfy any claims. The indemnification is subject to a limitation that we incur damages of at least $500,000 prior to making any claim. Further, the indemnification obligation is limited solely and exclusively to the shares held in escrow.

The shares will be held in escrow until satisfaction of any claims. Any claims by us against the shares must be made within 12 months of closing of the Merger. For purposes of determining the number of shares required to settle any claim for which we are entitled to indemnification, the parties have agreed to assign a value equal to the average reported last sales price for the ten trading days ending on the last day prior to the date that the claim for indemnification is publicly disclosed (or if there is no public disclosure, the date on which the indemnification notice is received) and the ten trading days after such date. HAQ and the PharmAthene stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders, in each case, have agreed to appoint a representative who will have the power and authority to negotiate and settle claims. Additionally, the representatives of the two parties can mutually agree to a different value of the escrowed shares in order to settle third parties claims, or use the shares to actually settle any claim. Mr. John Pappajohn has been appointed to serve as HAQ’s representative and MPM BioVentures III-QP, L.P. has been appointed to serve as the representative of the PharmAthene stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders.

Representative

PharmAthene designated its representative with authority to make all decisions and determinations and to take all actions required or permitted under the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement on behalf of the PharmAthene stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders. Any such action, decision or determination so made or taken shall be deemed the action, decision or determination of the PharmAthene stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders, and any notice, document, certificate or information required to be given to any PharmAthene stockholders, optionholders and warrantholders shall be deemed so given if given to the representative. As such representative is also a stockholder of PharmAthene, it is possible that potential conflicts of interest may arise with respect to their obligations as representatives and their interests as stockholders of PharmAthene.   The parties agreed that 1,375,000 shares of HAQ Common Stock issued as merger consideration will be placed into an escrow account, from which the representative will have the right to withdraw shares necessary to in the performance of its duties. Any remaining shares held in such account will be released to the PharmAthene stockholders on the first anniversary of the closing of the Merger or such time that there are no unresolved claims for indemnification.

OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATED TO THE MERGER
 
Registration Rights Agreement
 
In connection with the Merger, we have agreed to grant to the recipients of the shares of our common stock and the noteholders receiving the new 8% convertible notes, certain registration rights to allow them to resell their shares in accordance with the federal securities laws. At the closing of the Merger, assuming it is approved by our stockholders, we will enter into a registration rights agreement with each of the recipients of our common stock and the notes.
 
Under the terms of the registration rights agreement, we will agree to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended to allow for the resale by the holders of the shares and the note conversion shares, which filing will be made within 60 days after the closing of the Merger. We will further agree to use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon after filing as possible.
 
We will also agree that the holders of a majority of the shares and note conversion shares will have the right to demand that we file a registration statement on their behalf at any time commencing 180 days after the closing of the Merger. Further, if two thirds of the holders so request, we will enter into an underwriting agreement with an underwriter so that the shares can be offered on an underwritten basis. Lastly, if during the five years following the closing we file a registration statement to provide for the resale of shares, we will agree to notify the holders of the shares and the note conversion shares and if so requested by a holder, we will include his/her or its shares in the registration statement being filed.
 
Lock-Up Agreements
 
As a condition to the closing of the Merger, substantially all of the holders of capital stock and all of the noteholders of PharmAthene are required to enter into lock-up agreements covering the shares of HAQ common stock that they are to receive in the Merger or that they may acquire in the future subject to certain limitations. These agreements provide that, subject to certain exceptions, the parties thereto may not offer, pledge, sell, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of HAQ common stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of HAQ common stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for HAQ common stock following the closing of the Merger. In addition, the parties may not enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers the economic consequence of ownership of such HAQ common stock during such period. Fifty percent of the shares of HAQ common stock subject to the lock-up agreements shall be released from the lock-up six months following the Merger, and all shares of HAQ common stock subject to the lock-up shall be released from the lock-up agreement twelve months following the closing.
 
Employment Agreements

A condition to HAQ’s obligation to consummate the Merger is that David Wright, the current Chief Executive Officer of PharmAthene, enter into a mutually acceptable employment agreement with HAQ. The parties are negotiating the terms of such agreement.

PROPOSAL 2
 
THE AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, HAQ has agreed to amend its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to change its corporate name from Healthcare Acquisition Corp. to PharmAthene, Inc. upon consummation of the Merger.
 
General

HAQ also proposes to amend its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to (i) remove the staggered Board provision (ii) remove those provisions of HAQ’S amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will no longer be operative upon consummation of the Merger (which constitutes a business combination for purposes of HAQ’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation), but which were applicable at the time of HAQ’s formation as a blank-check company and (iii) grant the right to the 8% convertible note holders to appoint three members to the Board of Directors. In order to accomplish this, the text of Article Sixth will be replaced in its entirety.

Article Sixth of HAQ’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation currently reads as follows:

The following provisions (A) through (E) shall apply during the period commencing upon the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation and terminating upon the consummation of any "Business Combination", and may not be amended prior to the consummation of any Business Combination. A "Business Combination" shall mean the acquisition by the Corporation, whether by merger, capital stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition or other similar type of transaction, of assets or an operating business in the healthcare industry ("Target Business").

A. Prior to the consummation of any Business Combination, the Corporation shall submit such Business Combination to its stockholders for approval regardless of whether the Business Combination is of a type which normally would require such stockholder approval under the GCL. In the event that a majority of the IPO Shares (defined below) cast at the meeting to approve the Business Combination are voted for the approval of such Business Combination, the Corporation shall be authorized to consummate the Business Combination; provided that the Corporation shall not consummate any Business Combination if 20% or more in interest of the holders of IPO Shares exercise their conversion rights described in paragraph B below.

B. In the event that a Business Combination is approved in accordance with the above paragraph A and is consummated by the Corporation, any stockholder of the Corporation holding shares of Common Stock ("IPO Shares") issued in the Corporation's initial public offering ("IPO") of securities who voted against the Business Combination may, contemporaneous with such vote, demand that the Corporation convert his IPO Shares into cash. If so demanded, the Corporation shall convert such shares at a per share conversion price equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) the amount in the Trust Fund (as defined below), inclusive of any interest thereon, calculated as of two business days prior to the proposed consummation of the Business Combination, by (ii) the total number of IPO Shares. "Trust Fund" shall mean the trust account established by the Corporation at the consummation of its IPO and into which a certain amount of the net proceeds of the IPO are deposited.

C. In the event that the Corporation does not consummate a Business Combination by the later of (i) 18 months after the consummation of the IPO or (ii) 24 months after the consummation of the IPO in the event that either a letter of intent, an agreement in principle or a definitive agreement to complete a Business Combination was executed but was not consummated within such 18 month period (such later date being referred to as the "Termination Date"), the officers of the Corporation shall take all such action necessary to dissolve and liquidate the Corporation as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event that the Corporation is so dissolved and liquidated, only the holders of IPO Shares (at such time) shall be entitled to receive liquidating distributions and the Corporation shall pay no liquidating distributions with respect to any other shares of capital stock of the Corporation.

D. A holder of IPO Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Fund only in the event of a liquidation of the Corporation or in the event he demands conversion of his shares in accordance with paragraph B, above. In no other circumstances shall a holder of IPO Shares have any right or interest of any kind in or to the Trust Fund.
 
-83-


E. The Board of Directors shall be divided into two classes: Class A and Class B. The number of directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as possible. Prior to the IPO, there shall be elected two Class A directors for a term expiring at the Corporation's first Annual Meeting of Stockholders and three Class B directors for a term expiring at the Corporation's second Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Commencing at the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and at each annual meeting thereafter, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire at the second succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Except as the GCL may otherwise require, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies in the Board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum (as defined in the Corporation's Bylaws), or by the sole remaining director. All directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.

If this proposal is approved by the stockholders, Article Sixth will read in its entirety as follows:
   
For so long as at least 30% of the aggregate principal amount of the 8% convertible notes of the Corporation (the “Notes”) issued on _____, 2007 in the original aggregate amount of $12,500,000 remains outstanding (and notwithstanding the existence of less than three (3) noteholders at any given time), the following provisions shall apply:

A. The Corporation shall maintain a Board of Directors consisting of no more than seven (7) individuals and each committee of the Board of Directors shall have no more than three (3) members;

B. three (3) members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Noteholder Directors’ shall be elected by the holders of Notes representing a two-thirds of the then outstanding principal amount of all Notes, voting as a separate class;

C. subject to applicable law, two (2) Noteholder Directors (in each case chosen by majority vote of all of the Noteholder Directors) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve as members of each committee of the Board of Directors;

D. the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall nominate as Noteholders Directors only the persons designated as directors pursuant to the Note Exchange Agreement, dated ____, 2007, by and among HAQ and the holders of the Notes and recommend that the holders of the Notes vote to elect such nominees as directors of the Corporation and shall fill any vacancies that may arise upon the resignation of any of the Noteholder Directors with a new Noteholder Director designated in accordance with the foregoing. A Noteholder Director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a Noteholder Director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the Noteholder Director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified; and

E. the provisions contained in this Article SIXTH shall terminate immediately and without further action when less than 30% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding.

If the Merger Proposal is not approved, this proposal will not be presented at the meeting. In addition, if the Merger is not subsequently consummated, HAQ’s Board of Directors will not effect this amendment to HAQ’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Stockholders will not be required to exchange outstanding stock certificates for new stock certificates if the amendment is adopted.

-84-

 
In the judgment of HAQ’s Board of Directors, if the Merger is consummated, the amendment to HAQ’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation to: (i) change HAQ’s corporate name, (ii) eliminate the staggered Board and remove those provisions of HAQ’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation that will no longer be operative upon consummation of the Merger and (iii) to grant the right to the 8% noteholders to appoint three members to the Board of Directors, is desirable, among other things, to reflect the fact that HAQ would then be an operating business. A copy of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation as it would be filed if the Merger Proposal and the proposal to amend HAQ’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation are approved is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B.

Required Vote

The approval of the Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes, as well as failing to vote by not returning your proxy card, because they are not affirmative votes, will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.

Recommendation

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR'' THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 3

THE INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL
 
Background
 
HAQ’s 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan has been approved by HAQ’s Board of Directors subject to approval and consummation of the Merger and further subject to the approval of our stockholders. The approval of the Merger Proposal and the consummation of the Merger are conditions to the effectiveness of the Amendment Proposal and the Incentive Plan Proposal, assuming such proposals are approved by the stockholders. If the Merger Proposal is not approved and/or the Merger is not consummated, the Incentive Plan will not be adopted.
 
The purposes of our Incentive Plan are to create incentives designed to motivate our employees to significantly contribute toward our growth and profitability, to provide our executives, directors and other employees, and persons who, by their position, ability and diligence, are able to make important contributions to our growth and profitability, with an incentive to assist us in achieving our long-term corporate objectives, to attract and retain executives and other employees of outstanding competence, and to provide such persons with an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in us.
 
We may grant incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, restricted stock awards and performance bonuses, or collectively, awards, to our officers and key employees, and those of our subsidiaries. In addition, the Incentive Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards to our directors and to any independent contractors and consultants who by their position, ability and diligence are able to make important contributions to our future growth and profitability. Generally, all classes of our employees are eligible to participate in our Incentive Plan. No options, restricted stock or other awards under the Incentive Plan have been made or committed to be made as of the date of this proxy statement.
 
The following is a summary of the material provisions of our Incentive Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of our Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex C.
 
Stock Subject to the 2007 Incentive Plan
 
We have reserved a maximum of 3,500,000 shares of our authorized common stock for issuance upon the exercise of awards to be granted pursuant to our Incentive Plan. Each share issued under an option or under a restricted stock award will be counted against this limit. Shares to be delivered at the time a stock option is exercised or at the time a restricted stock award is made may be available from authorized but unissued shares or from stock previously issued but which we have reacquired and hold in our treasury.
 
In the event of any change in our outstanding common stock by reason of any reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares, asset acquisition, consolidation, issuance of rights or other similar transactions, the number of shares of our common stock which may be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, and the exercise price of options previously granted under our Incentive Plan, will be proportionally adjusted to prevent any enlargement or dilution of the rights of holders of previously granted options as may be appropriate to reflect any such transaction or event.
 
Administration
 
Our Board will establish a compensation committee that, among other duties, will administer the Incentive Plan. The compensation committee will be composed of three members of the Board, a majority of whom will be “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3(b)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the terms of the Note Exchange Agreement and the Merger Agreement, HAQ has agreed that two of the three members of the Committee will be representatives of the holders of the 8% convertible notes. Members of our compensation committee will serve at the pleasure of our Board. In connection with the administration of our Incentive Plan, the compensation committee, with respect to awards to be made to any person who is not one of our directors, will:
 
· determine which employees and other persons will be granted awards under our Incentive Plan;
 
· grant the awards to those selected to participate;
 
-86-

 
· determine the exercise price for options; and
 
· prescribe any limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any awards, including the vesting conditions of awards.
 
With respect to stock options or restricted stock awards to be made to any of our directors, the Compensation Committee will make recommendations to our Board of Directors as to:
 
· which of such persons should be granted stock options, restricted stock awards, performance units or stock appreciation rights;
 
· the terms of proposed grants of awards to those selected by our Board of Directors to participate;
 
· the exercise price for options; and
 
· any limitations, restrictions and conditions upon any awards.
 
Any grant of awards to any of directors under our Incentive Plan must be approved by our Board of Directors.
 
In addition, the compensation committee will:
 
· interpret our Incentive Plan; and
 
· make all other determinations and take all other action that may be necessary or advisable to implement and administer our Incentive Plan.
 
Types of Awards
 
Our Incentive Plan permits the Compensation Committee to grant the following types of awards.
 
Stock Options. Stock options are contractual rights entitling an optionee who has been granted a stock option to purchase a stated number of shares of our common stock at an exercise price per share determined at the date of the grant. Options are evidenced by stock option agreements with the respective optionees. The exercise price for each stock option granted under our Incentive Plan will be determined by our Board of Directors or a committee of the Board at the time of the grant, but will not be less than fair market value on the date of the grant. Our Board of Directors or a committee of the Board will also determine the duration of each option; however, no option may be exercisable more than ten years after the date the option is granted. Within the foregoing limitations, the Board of Directors or committee of the Board may, in its discretion, impose limitations on exercise of all or some options granted under our Incentive Plan, such as specifying minimum periods of time after grant during which options may not be exercised. Options granted under our Incentive Plan will vest at rates specified in the option agreement at the time of grant; however, all options granted under our Incentive Plan will vest upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the Incentive Plan. Our Incentive Plan also contains provisions for our Board of Directors or a committee of the Board to provide in the participants’ option award agreements for accelerating the right of an individual employee to exercise his or her stock option or restricted stock award in the event of retirement or other termination of employment. No cash consideration is payable to us in exchange for the grant of options.
 
Our Incentive Plan provides that the stock options may either be Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Non-Qualified Options, which are stock options other than Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of Sections 422 of the Code. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to our employees or employees of our subsidiaries, and must be granted at a per share option price not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a stockholder who owns shares of our outstanding stock of all classes representing more that 10% of the total combined voting power of all of our outstanding stock of all classes entitled to vote in the election of directors, the per share option price must be not less than 110% of the fair market value of one share of our common stock on the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted and the term of such option may not exceed five years. As required by the Code, the aggregate fair market value, determined at the time an Incentive Stock Option is granted, of our common stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options may be exercised by an optionee for the first time during any calendar year under all of our incentive stock option plans may not exceed $100,000.
 
-87-

 
The exercise price for Non-Qualified Options may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date the Non-Qualified Option is granted. Non-Qualified Options are not subject to any of the restrictions described above with respect to Incentive Stock Options. The exercise price of stock options may be paid in cash, in whole shares of our common stock, in a combination of cash and our common stock, or in such other form of consideration as our Board of Directors or the committee of the Board may determine, equal in value to the exercise price. However, only shares of our common stock which the option holder has held for at least six months on the date of the exercise may be surrendered in payment of the exercise price for the options. In no event may a stock option be exercised after the expiration of its stated term.
 
Stock Appreciation Rights. A stock appreciation right permits the grantee to receive an amount (in cash, common stock, or a combination thereof) equal to the number of stock appreciation rights exercised by the grantee multiplied by the excess of the fair market value of our common stock on the exercise date over the stock appreciation rights’ exercise price. Stock appreciation rights may or may not be granted in connection with the grant of an option. The exercise price of stock appreciation rights granted under the Incentive Plan will be determined by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board; provided, however, that such exercise price cannot be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on a date the stock appreciation right is granted (subject to adjustments). A stock appreciation right may be exercised in whole or in such installments and at such times as determined by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board.
 
Restricted Stock. Restricted shares of our common stock may be granted under our Incentive Plan subject to such terms and conditions, including forfeiture and vesting provisions, and restrictions against sale, transfer or other disposition as the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board may determine to be appropriate at the time of making the award. In addition, the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board may direct that share certificates representing restricted stock be inscribed with a legend as to the restrictions on sale, transfer or other disposition, and may direct that the certificates, along with a stock power signed in blank by the grantee, be delivered to and held by us until such restrictions lapse. The Board of Directors or a committee of the Board, in its discretion, may provide in the award agreement for a modification or acceleration of shares of restricted stock in the event of permanent disability, retirement or other termination of employment or business relationship with the grantee.
 
Performance Units. The Incentive Plan permits grants of performance units, which are rights to receive cash payments equal to the difference (if any) between the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and its fair market value on the date of exercise of the award, except to the extent otherwise provided by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board or required by law. Such awards are subject to the fulfillment of conditions that may be established by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board including, without limitation, the achievement of performance targets based upon the factors described above relating to restricted stock awards.
 
Performance Bonus. The Incentive Plan permits grants of performance bonuses, which may be paid in cash, common stock or combination thereof as determined by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board. The maximum value of performance bonus awards granted under the Incentive Plan shall be established by the compensation committee at the time of the grant. An employee’s receipt of such amount will be contingent upon achievement of performance targets during the performance period established by the compensation committee. The performance targets will be determined by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board based upon the factors described above relating to restricted stock awards. Following the end of the performance period, the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board will determine the achievement of the performance targets for such performance period. Payment may be made within 60 days of such determination. Any payment made in shares of common stock will be based upon the fair market value of the common stock on the payment date.
 
Transferability
 
With the exception of Non-Qualified Stock Options, awards are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Non-Qualified Stock Options are transferable on a limited basis. Restricted stock awards are not transferable during the restriction period.
 
-88-

 
Change of Control Event
 
The Incentive Plan provides for the acceleration of any unvested portion of any outstanding awards under the Incentive Plan upon a change of control event unless the terms of a particular award state otherwise.
 
Termination of Employment/Relationship
 
Awards granted under our Incentive Plan that have not vested will generally terminate immediately upon the grantee’s termination of employment or business relationship with us or any of our subsidiaries for any reason other than retirement with our consent, disability or death. The Board of Directors or a committee of the Board may determine at the time of the grant that an award agreement should contain provisions permitting the grantee to exercise the stock options for any stated period after such termination, or for any period the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board determines to be advisable after the grantee’s employment or business relationship with us terminates by reason of retirement, disability, death or termination without cause. Incentive Stock Options will, however, terminate no more than three months after termination of the optionee’s employment, twelve months after termination of the optionee’s employment due to disability and three years after termination of the optionee’s employment due to death. The Board of Directors or a committee of the Board may permit a deceased optionee’s stock options to be exercised by the optionee’s executor or heirs during a period acceptable to the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board following the date of the optionee’s death but such exercise must occur prior to the expiration date of the stock option.
 
Dilution; Substitution
 
As described above, our Incentive Plan will provide protection against substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to holders of awards in the event of stock splits, recapitalizations, asset acquisitions, consolidations, reorganizations or similar transactions. New award rights may, but need not, be substituted for the awards granted under our Incentive Plan, or our obligations with respect to awards outstanding under our Incentive Plan may, but need not, be assumed by another corporation in connection with any asset acquisition, consolidation, acquisition, separation, reorganization, sale or distribution of assets, liquidation or like occurrence in which we are involved. In the event that our Incentive Plan is assumed, the stock issuable with respect to awards previously granted under our Incentive Plan shall thereafter include the stock of the corporation granting such new option rights or assuming our obligations under the Incentive Plan.
 
Amendment of the Incentive Plan
 
Our Board may amend our Incentive Plan at any time. However, without stockholder approval, our Incentive Plan may not be amended in a manner that would:
 
· increase the number of shares that may be issued under our Incentive Plan;
 
· materially modify the requirements for eligibility for participation in our Incentive Plan;
 
· materially increase the benefits to participants provided by our Incentive Plan; or
 
· otherwise disqualify our Incentive Plan for coverage under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
Awards previously granted under our Incentive Plan may not be impaired or affected by any amendment of our Incentive Plan, without the consent of the affected grantees.
 
Accounting Treatment
 
Under generally accepted accounting principles with respect to the financial accounting treatment of stock options used to compensate employees, upon the grant of stock options under our Incentive Plan, the fair value of the options will be measured on the date of grant and this amount will be recognized as a compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. Stock appreciation rights granted under the Incentive Plan must be settled in common stock. Therefore, stock appreciation rights granted under the Incentive Plan will receive the same accounting treatment as options. The cash we receive upon the exercise of stock options will be reflected as an increase in our capital. No additional compensation expense will be recognized at the time stock options are exercised, although the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise may reduce basic earnings per share, as more shares of our common stock would then be outstanding.
 
-89-

 
When we make a grant of restricted stock, the fair value of the restricted stock award at the date of grant will be determined and this amount will be recognized over the vesting period of the award. The fair value of a restricted stock award is equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.
 
Due to consideration of the accounting treatment of stock options and restricted stock awards by various regulatory bodies, it is possible that the present accounting treatment may change.
 
Tax Treatment
 
The following is a brief description of the federal income tax consequences, under existing law, with respect to awards that may be granted under our Incentive Plan.
 
Incentive Stock Options. An optionee will not realize any taxable income upon the grant or the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option. However, the amount by which the fair market value of the shares covered by the Incentive Stock Option (on the date of exercise) exceeds the option price paid will be an item of tax preference to which the alternative minimum tax may apply, depending on each optionee’s individual circumstances. If the optionee does not dispose of the shares of our common stock acquired by exercising an Incentive Stock Option within two years from the date of the grant of the Incentive Stock Option or within one year after the shares are transferred to the optionee, when the optionee later sells or otherwise disposes of the stock, any amount realized by the optionee in excess of the option price will be taxed as a long-term capital gain and any loss will be recognized as a long-term capital loss. We generally will not be entitled to an income tax deduction with respect to the grant or exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.
 
If any shares of our common stock acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are resold or disposed of before the expiration of the prescribed holding periods, the optionee would realize ordinary income, instead of capital gain. The amount of the ordinary income realized would be equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the exercise date over the option price; or (ii) in the case of a taxable sale or exchange, the amount of the gain realized. Any additional gain would be either long-term or short-term capital gain, depending on whether the applicable capital gain holding period has been satisfied. In the event of a premature disposition of shares of stock acquired by exercising an Incentive Stock Option, we would be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income realized by the optionee.
 
Non-Qualified Options. An optionee will not realize any taxable income upon the grant of a Non-Qualified Option. At the time the optionee exercises the Non-Qualified Option, the amount by which the fair market value at the time of exercise of the shares covered by the Non-Qualified Option exceeds the option price paid upon exercise will constitute ordinary income to the optionee in the year of such exercise. We will be entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction in the year of exercise equal to the ordinary income recognized by the optionee. If the optionee thereafter sells such shares, the difference between any amount realized on the sale and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise will be taxed to the optionee as capital gain or loss, short- or long-term depending on the length of time the stock was held by the optionee before sale.
 
Stock Appreciation Rights. A participant realizes no taxable income and we are not entitled to a deduction when a stock appreciation right is granted. Upon exercising a stock appreciation right, a participant will realize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received minus any amount paid for the shares, and we will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. A participant’s tax basis in the shares of common stock received upon exercise of a stock appreciation right will be equal to the fair market value of such shares on the exercise date, and the participant’s holding period for such shares will begin at that time. Upon sale of the shares of common stock received upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, the participant will realize short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending upon whether the shares have been held for more than one year. The amount of such gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount realized in connection with the sale of the shares, and the participant’s tax basis in such shares.
 
Restricted Stock Award. A recipient of restricted stock generally will not recognize any taxable income until the shares of restricted stock become freely transferable or are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. At that time, the excess of the fair market value of the restricted stock over the amount, if any, paid for the restricted stock is taxable to the recipient as ordinary income. If a recipient of restricted stock subsequently sells the shares, he or she generally will realize capital gain or loss in the year of such sale in an amount equal to the difference between the net proceeds from the sale and the price paid for the stock, if any, plus the amount previously included in income as ordinary income with respect to such restricted shares.
 
-90-

 
A recipient has the opportunity, within certain limits, to fix the amount and timing of the taxable income attributable to a grant of restricted stock. Section 83(b) of the Code permits a recipient of restricted stock, which is not yet required to be included in taxable income, to elect, within 30 days of the award of restricted stock, to include in income immediately the difference between the fair market value of the shares of restricted stock at the date of the award and the amount paid for the restricted stock, if any. The election permits the recipient of restricted stock to fix the amount of income that must be recognized by virtue of the restricted stock grant. We will be entitled to a deduction in the year the recipient is required (or elects) to recognize income by virtue of receipt of restricted stock, equal to the amount of taxable income recognized by the recipient.
 
Performance Units and Performance Bonuses. A participant realizes no taxable income and we are not entitled to a deduction when performance units or performance bonuses are awarded. When the performance units or performance bonuses vest and become payable upon the achievement of the performance objectives, the participant will realize ordinary income equal to the amount of cash received or the fair market value of the shares received minus any amount paid for the shares, and we will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. A participant’s tax basis in shares of common stock received upon payment will be equal to the fair market value of such shares when the participant receives them. Upon sale of the shares, the participant will realize short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending upon whether the shares have been held for more than one year at the time of sale. Such gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the sale of the shares and the tax basis of the shares in the participant’s hands.
 
Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code precludes a public corporation from taking a deduction for annual compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to its chief executive officer or any of its four other highest-paid officers. However, compensation that qualifies under Section 162(m) of the Code as “performance-based” is specifically exempt from the deduction limit. Based on Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, our ability to deduct compensation income generated in connection with the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights granted under the Incentive Plan should not be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code. Further, we believe that compensation income generated in connection with performance awards granted under the Incentive Plan should not be limited by Section 162(m) of the Code. The Incentive Plan has been designed to provide flexibility with respect to whether restricted stock awards or performance bonuses will qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code and, therefore, be exempt from the deduction limit. If the vesting restrictions relating to any such award are based solely upon the satisfaction of one of the performance goals set forth in the Incentive Plan, then we believe that the compensation expense relating to such an award will be deductible by us if the awards become vested. However, compensation expense deductions relating to such awards will be subject to the Section 162(m) deduction limitation if such awards become vested based upon any other criteria set forth in such award (such as the occurrence of a change in control or vesting based upon continued employment with us).
 
Certain Awards Deferring or Accelerating the Receipt of Compensation. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, imposes certain new requirements applicable to “nonqualified deferred compensation plans.” If a nonqualified deferred compensation plan subject to Section 409A fails to meet, or is not operated in accordance with, these new requirements, then all compensation deferred under the plan may become immediately taxable. Stock appreciation rights and deferred stock awards which may be granted under the plan may constitute deferred compensation subject to the Section 409A requirements. It is our intention that any award agreement governing awards subject to Section 409A will comply with these new rules.
 
Required Vote
 
Approval of our Incentive Plan will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of HAQ common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Assuming the presence of a quorum of more than 50% of the shares of our common stock, the failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

PROPOSAL 4
THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The Adjournment Proposal allows HAQ’s Board of Directors to submit a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the consummation of the Merger.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is presented to the Special Meeting and is not approved by the stockholders, HAQ’s Board of Directors may not be able to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the consummation of the Merger. In such event, HAQ will be required to liquidate.

Required Vote

Adoption of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of HAQ's common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Adoption of the Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF PHARMATHENE
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for PharmAthene beginning on page FS-__ of this proxy statement. These Consolidated Financial Statements present the results of operations of PharmAthene for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 (“2006”), 2005 (“2005”), and 2004 (“2004”) as well as the financial positions at December 31, 2006, December 31, 2005, and December 31, 2004. In addition to historical information, the following discussion may contain forward looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. All amounts presented, except share data, are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.

Overview
 
PharmAthene is a biodefense company engaged in the business of discovery and development of novel human therapeutics and prophylactics for the treatment and prevention of morbidity and mortality from exposure to biological and chemical weapons. Additionally, PharmAthene collaborates with other pharmaceutical companies to support clinical development of product candidates. PharmAthene has two products currently under development. Valortim™, a fully human monoclonal antibody (an identical population of highly specific antibodies produced from a single clone) for the prevention and treatment of anthrax infection and Protexia®, mimics a natural bioscavenger for the treatment or prevention of nerve agent poisoning by organophosphate compounds which include nerve gases and pesticides.

PharmAthene’s lead product candidate, Valortim™, is a fully human monoclonal antibody designed to protect against and treat inhalation anthrax infection, the most lethal form of illness in humans caused by the Bacillus anthracis bacterium. PharmAthene is co-developing Valortim™ with Medarex, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in developing fully human antibody-based therapeutic products and will share with Medarex any profits derived from sales of Valortim™. Preclinical trials on animal models have demonstrated that Valortim™ is highly efficacious as both a prophylaxis and a therapeutic for inhalation anthrax infection. PharmAthene and Medarex have completed dosing of healthy volunteers in a Phase I open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity (the ability of an antigen to elicit an immune response), and pharmacokinetics (the study of absorption, metabolism and action of drugs) of a single dose of Valortim™ administered intravenously or intramuscularly. No drug-related serious adverse events have been reported. Final results from the Phase I trial were presented at the Infectious Disease Society of America meeting in October 2006. Valortim™ has been granted Fast Track Status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), which may permit PharmAthene to submit portions of a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) or efficacy supplement before the complete BLA is submitted. This may expedite the review process but requires that the FDA have sufficient resources to allow early review of the portions submitted. In addition, Valortim™ has been granted orphan drug status for the treatment of inhalational anthrax.
 
Protexia®, PharmAthene’s second product candidate, is a recombinant form (that is, produced using genetic engineering technology) of human butyrylcholinesterase, a naturally occurring enzyme (“BChE”), for use in the prophylaxis and treatment of organophosphate chemical nerve agent poisoning. Preclinical trials on animal models have demonstrated that Protexia® is highly efficacious both prophylactically and therapeutically for chemical nerve agent poisoning. PharmAthene plans to continue preclinical animal studies of Protexia® throughout 2006 and 2007 and file an Investigational New Drug application (“IND”) with the FDA in 2008. The procurement process for the scale-up development and sale of Protexia® is already underway with the U.S. Department of Defense (the “DoD”), the department tasked with purchasing biodefense countermeasures for military use. The DoD requested competitive bids in a Request for Proposal (an “RFP”) for a recombinant form of BChE drug for the prophylaxis treatment of chemical nerve agent poisoning, which PharmAthene submitted in November 2005.  In September 2006, PharmAthene was awarded a contract with a potential value of $213 million by the DoD for advanced development of Protexia® and procurement of an initial 90,000 doses.

PharmAthene has financed its operations since inception in March 2001 primarily through the issuance of equity securities, convertible notes, and proceeds from loans or other borrowings. Any, or all, of these financing vehicles or others may be utilized to fund its future capital requirements.

Nexia Asset Acquisition 
 
In March 2005, PharmAthene acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Nexia Biotechnologies Inc. (‘‘Nexia’’) that related to its Protexia® compound for a purchase price of $19.1 million (the “Nexia Acquisition”). PharmAthene delivered to Nexia $11.8 million in cash, 7,465,501 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 2,239,650 warrants to acquire Series C Preferred Stock and 1,343,790 warrants to purchase common stock. In order to finance the cash portion of the Nexia Acquisition, PharmAthene sold Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), issued warrants to acquire Series C Preferred Stock and issued warrants to acquire common stock. The purchased assets and liabilities are held by PharmAthene Canada, Inc., PharmAthene’s only subsidiary (‘‘PharmAthene Canada’’), a variable interest entity established in connection with the acquisition to allow for the investment by certain Canadian stockholders and consolidated in PharmAthene’s financial statements as of the date of its inception. As a result of the Nexia Acquisition, PharmAthene was able to secure the aforementioned $213 million DoD contract for the development and procurement of Protexia®.

In conjunction with the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, PharmAthene sold 2,951,654 shares of Class C Shares of PharmAthene Canada (the ‘‘Class C Shares’’) to one investor for net proceeds of $2,364,000. The Class C Shares are, pursuant to the terms of a Put and Support Agreement, exchangeable for an equal number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Class C Shares bear a cumulative dividend rate of 8% per annum.

The investor in the Class C Shares also received warrants to purchase 466,498 Class B Common Shares of PharmAthene Canada at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to reduction if certain milestones are met by PharmAthene. The investor in the Class C Shares also received warrants to purchase 777,496 Class C Shares at an exercise price of $0.91 per share.
 
Recent Events 
 
On January 19, 2007 PharmAthene entered into the Merger Agreement with HAQ and its wholly-owned subsidiary, PAI Acquisition Corp., pursuant to which PharmAthene will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ and the stockholders, optionsholders, warrantholders and noteholders of PharmAthene will receive the following consideration (i) an aggregate of 12.5 million shares of HAQ common stock; (ii) $12.5 million in 8% convertible notes issued by HAQ and (iii) up to $10 million in milestone payments if certain conditions are met. It is anticipated that stockholders of PharmAthene will initially own up to approximately 52% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company after the Merger, which is expected to remain listed on the American Stock Exchange.
 
The new 8% convertible notes to be issued by HAQ are to be issued in exchange for PharmAthene’s $11.8 million outstanding secured convertible notes and will mature in 24 months. These convertible notes will be convertible at the option of the holders into common stock at $10.00 per share and may be redeemed by PharmAthene without penalty after 12 months. In the event that PharmAthene enters into a contract prior to December 31, 2007 for the sale of Valortim™ to the U.S. government for more than $150 million in anticipated revenue, PharmAthene’s current stockholders will be eligible for additional cash payments, not to exceed $10 million, equal to 10% of the actual collections from the sale of Valortim™. Subject to certain approvals required of the HAQ and PharmAthene stockholders under applicable state law and the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange, as well as other regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, PharmAthene expects the Merger to close in the second or third quarter of 2007.
 
On March 30, 2007, PharmAthene entered into a $10 million credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank and Oxford Finance Corporation. Under the credit facility, PharmAthene borrowed $10 million which loan bears interest at the rate of 11.5% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the loan and security agreement evidencing the credit facility, PharmAthene will make monthly payments of interest only through September 30, 2007 and, thereafter, will make monthly payments of principal and interest over the remaining 29 months of the loan. The loan is secured by a security interest on all of PharmAthene’s and PharmAthene Canada’s assets other than certain intellectual property. In addition, in the event that the proposed Merger is not consummated by August 3, 2007, PharmAthene has agreed to provide the lenders with a mortgage on its Canadian real estate. PharmAthene may not repay the loan for the first six months but, thereafter, may prepay provided it pays certain prepayment fees. In connection with the credit facility, PharmAthene issued to Silicon Valley Bank and Oxford Financial Corporation warrants to purchase an aggregate of 438,453 shares of PharmAthene Series C Preferred Stock through March 30, 2017 at an exercise price of $0.91. As a consequence of the issuance of the warrants, the Merger Allocation Agreement was amended and restated in order to recalculate the Merger Consideration payable to the holders of the various classes of capital stock of PharmAthene taking into account the newly issued warrants.

Other revenue
 
In connection with the Nexia Acquisition, PharmAthene acquired property and equipment, including farm facilities. Other income in fiscal year 2006 and 2005 primarily results from the leasing of farm facilities that PharmAthene is currently not utilizing.
 
Research and Development Expenses
 
PharmAthene’s research and development expenses were $7.1 million, $6.4 million and $7.8 million for fiscal years 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. These expenses resulted from research and development activities related to programs for ValortimTM, for protection against and treatment of inhalation anthrax, and Protexia®, for treatment of nerve agent poisoning and DNI, for treatment of anthrax, which was terminated in 2004. PharmAthene incurred both direct and indirect expenses. Direct expenses included salaries and other costs of personnel, raw materials and supplies.

Protexia® is PharmAthene’s drug candidate for countermeasure against nerve agent bioterrorist attacks, acquired in March 2005. In 2006, PharmAthene spent approximately $3.1 million on internal human resources and $2.3 million mainly on pre-clinical testing and manufacturing. During fiscal year 2005, PharmAthene spent approximately $2.6 million on internal human resources and $2.5 million mainly on pre-clinical testing and manufacturing. From inception of the Protexia® development program to date, PharmAthene has expended a total of $10.5 million related to the Protexia® program.
 
Valortim is PharmAthene’s drug candidate for use as a countermeasure against anthrax associated bioterrorist attacks. In 2006, PharmAthene spent approximately $446,000 on internal human resources and $1.3 million mainly on clinical development. During fiscal year 2005, PharmAthene spent approximately $370,000 on internal human resources and $764,000 mainly on clinical development. During fiscal year 2004, PharmAthene spent approximately $41,000 on internal human resources and $2.8 million mainly on pre-clinical testing. From inception of the Valortim development program to date, PharmAthene has expended a total of $5.6 million related to the Valortim™ development program.
 
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, PharmAthene spent approximately $0.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively, on the development of DNI, a drug candidate for use as a countermeasure against anthrax associated bioterrorist attacks. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, PharmAthene spent approximately $0.2 million on internal human resources and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, PharmAthene spent approximately $1.0 million on internal human resources and $4.0 million mainly on pre-clinical testing. The DNI program was terminated in late 2004 and costs incurred in 2005 were primarily related to efforts associated with terminating the DNI program.
 
Research and development expenses during fiscal year 2006 resulted entirely from activities related to the Valortim™ and Protexia® programs as compared to research and development expenses incurred in fiscal years 2005 and 2004, which included the DNI program activities which have since been terminated. Research and development expense increased $0.7 million in 2006 from 2005 primarily as a result of increased clinical study expenses of $385,000 related to the clinical trial program for Valortim™ which was initiated in fiscal year 2005 in collaboration with Medarex, increased employee costs of $457,000, and increased expenses of $208,000 related to farm operations which were acquired in March 2005. These increases were partially offset by reduced preclinical expenses related to Protexia® of $323,000 as efforts moved towards advanced developments during the second half of 2006.
 
-97-

 
Research and development expenses declined by $1.4 million from 2004 to 2005 because of different program focuses and study activity with decreased drug manufacturing of $3.3 million and lower preclinical costs of $1.8 million, primarily related to the termination of the DNI program at the end of fiscal year 2004. Increased clinical costs of $515,000 from 2004 to 2005 incurred in collaboration with Medarex on the Valortim™ program and development costs related to Protexia®, acquired in the first quarter of 2005, of $2.9 million partially offset these decreases.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative functions for PharmAthene include the areas of executive management, finance and administration, government affairs and regulations, corporate development, human resources, legal, and compliance. For each function, PharmAthene may incur direct expenses such as salaries, supplies and third-party consulting and other external costs. Indirect costs such as facilities, utilities and other administrative overhead are also included in general and administrative expenses.
 
Expenses associated with general and administrative functions for PharmAthene were $8.6 million, $5.0 million and $3.3 million for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. General and administrative expenses increased $3.6 million from 2005 to 2006 primarily due to $1.5 million of merger related costs associated with the proposed and terminated merger with SIGA, $925,000 in additional consulting and legal costs associated with transactional, proposal and compliance related activities, increased employee costs of $675,000 and increased stock compensation expenses of $323,000 as PharmAthene adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (‘‘FAS 123R’’) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options based on estimated fair values.
 
The increase in fiscal year 2005 expenses as compared to fiscal year 2004 expenses of $1.7 million resulted primarily from increased employee related costs of $1.2 million and increased Canadian operations costs of $764,000, mostly related to headcount, facility operations and utilities expenses of PharmAthene Canada, Inc., the operations of which were acquired in the first quarter of 2005. Consultant and contractor services decreased $505,000, as PharmAthene began hiring personnel throughout 2005 to perform administrative functions and proposal work.
 
Depreciation and Intangible Amortization
 
Depreciation and intangible amortization expense was $484,000, $661,000 and $25,000 for fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Depreciation expense for fiscal years 2006 and 2005 of $354,000 and $560,000, respectively, resulted primarily from building, leasehold improvements and lab equipment acquired through the Nexia Acquisition in the first quarter of 2005. Depreciation expense in 2005 included a write-off of leasehold improvements of approximately $245,000. Amortization expense recorded in fiscal years 2006 and 2005 of $129,700 and $101,000, respectively, related to patents acquired in the Nexia Acquisition.
 
The increase in fiscal year 2005 from fiscal year 2004 results primarily from the Nexia Acquisition in March of 2005 in which PharmAthene acquired $5.1 million in property and equipment and $1.4 million of intangible assets related to patents.
 
Acquired In-Process Research and Development
 
In connection with the March 2005 Nexia Acquisition related to Protexia®, PharmAthene engaged a third-party to appraise the assets and liabilities acquired. Based upon this appraisal, PharmAthene allocated $12.8 million of the purchase price of the Nexia Acquisition to acquired in-process research and development. This allocation represented the estimated fair value based on projected cash flows that will be generated by the incomplete research and development of Protexia®. At the date of the acquisition, the development of Protexia® had not yet reached technological feasibility and there were no known alternative future uses for the drug candidate. Accordingly, the acquired in-process research and development was charged to expense as of the date of the acquisition.

Other Income and Expenses
 
Other income and expenses consists primarily of income on PharmAthene’s investments, interest expense on PharmAthene’s debt and other financial obligations and the change in market value of its derivative financial instruments. PharmAthene’s interest income was $289,600, $382,000, and $72,000 in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in interest income in fiscal year 2006 from fiscal year 2005 resulted from lower average investment balance throughout 2006 with the funding of operations. The increase in interest income in fiscal years 2005 from 2004 resulted from higher average investment balances maintained, attributable to the issuance of convertible preferred stock in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2005.
 
PharmAthene incurred interest expense of $538,900, $1,000, and $33,000 in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. PharmAthene had no significant debt or other financial obligations until June of 2006. PharmAthene recognized interest expense of $538,700 related to the $11.8 million 8% convertible notes entered into in the first half of fiscal year 2006. Interest expense for fiscal year 2004 resulted from a $1.5 million 8% convertible note payable to one of PharmAthene’s investors, issued in June 2004, which was subsequently converted into Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock in October 2004.
 
In fiscal year 2006, PharmAthene incurred expenses of $350,400 related to the change in market value of its derivative instruments, consisting of 5,261,442 warrants to purchase Series C Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $0.91 per share. The fair value of these warrants was estimated on a quarterly basis using the Black-Scholes valuation model.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Overview
 
PharmAthene's primary cash requirements are to fund its research and development programs and to fund general corporate overhead. Its cash requirements could change materially as a result of changes in its business and strategy. These changes could arise from PharmAthene's management team's evaluation of its business strategy, the progress of its research and development activities and clinical programs, licensing activities, acquisitions, divestitures or other corporate developments.
 
PharmAthene has financed its operations since inception in March 2001 primarily through the issuance of equity securities in addition to convertible notes, and proceeds from loans or other borrowings. Any combination of, or all of, these financing vehicles or others may be utilized to fund its future capital requirements. In evaluating alternative sources of financing, PharmAthene considers, among other things, the dilutive impact, if any, on its stockholders, the ability to leverage stockholder returns through debt financing, the particular terms and conditions of each alternative financing arrangement and its ability to service its obligations under such financing arrangements.
 
PharmAthene's Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that it will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. PharmAthene has incurred cumulative net losses and expects to incur additional losses to perform further research and development activities. PharmAthene does not have commercial products and has limited capital resources. Its plans with regard to these matters include continued development of its products as well as seeking additional research support funds and financial arrangements. Although PharmAthene continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on commercially reasonable terms or that it will be able to secure financing through government contracts and grants.
 
PharmAthene has developed a plan to reduce its operating expenses in the event that sufficient funds are not available, or if it is not able to obtain anticipated government contracts and grants. If PharmAthene is unable to raise adequate capital or achieve profitability, future operations will need to be scaled back or discontinued. Continuance of PharmAthene as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, the success of PharmAthene’s research and development programs and its ability to obtain adequate financing. PharmAthene’s Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to recoverability of the carrying amount of recorded assets and liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Sources and Uses of Cash
 
Cash and cash equivalents for PharmAthene were $5.1 million, $7.9 million and $21.7 million at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The $2.8 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2005 was primarily attributable to funding of operations offset by the 8% convertible notes financings in the second and third quarters of 2006. The $13.8 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents from fiscal year 2004 resulted primarily from the Nexia Acquisition in March 2005 partially offset by the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock also in March 2005.
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $13.5 million, $10.0 million and $12.8 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in net cash used in operations from 2005 to 2006 is primarily attributable to an increase in net loss after the effect of non-cash adjustments of $4.1 million, an increase in accounts receivable partially offset by a decrease in prepaid and other current assets and an increase in accrued expenses and accounts payable. Non-cash adjustments for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 included $350,400 related to the change in market value of derivative financial instruments and included $322,800 of non-cash compensation expense which resulted from PharmAthene's adoption of FAS 123R which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their grant date fair values for interim or annual periods. Non cash adjustments for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 included a write off of $12.8 million of acquired in-process research and development related to the Nexia Acquisition in March 2005.
 
Accounts receivable increased $960,900 due to contract award receivables due from the DoD related to the advanced development of Protexia® of approximately $854,600. Prepaid and other current assets decreased $576,000 primarily as a result of the use of funds for development activity related to the PharmAthene collaboration with Medarex on the ValortimTM program. Prepaid expenses fluctuate from period to period depending on the timing and level of preparation and initiation of research and development activity and clinical trials. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $984,800 due to increased development activity, compliance related activities and employee compensation accruals.
 
The decrease in net cash used in operations of $2.8 million from fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2005 resulted primarily from an increase in prepaid and other assets of $980,000 resulting from a $2.0 million deposit paid to Medarex in December 2004 for future development activities related to the Valortim™ collaboration effort and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $598,000 resulting primarily from reduced development activity with the termination of the DNI program in the fourth quarter of 2004, and an increase in non-cash adjustments.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $786,500, $12.6 million and $46,600 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In March 2005, PharmAthene acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities related to Protexia® ® from Nexia for a net cash outlay of $12.3 million including cash to Nexia, transaction costs and the assumption of liabilities. Remaining investing activities for fiscal year 2005 and for all of fiscal years 2006 and 2004 related to the purchase of property and equipment. PharmAthene finances capital expenditures primarily through direct purchases utilizing PharmAthene’s existing cash.

Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $11.4 million, $8.9 million and $27.6 million the for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. As discussed above, PharmAthene's financing activities in fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004 was the issuance of convertible redeemable preferred stock and convertible notes of $11.8 million, $8.9 million and $27.6 million, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2006 was partially offset by merger financing costs of $587,600 which result from the capitalization of professional expenses related to ongoing activities associated with the proposed Merger with HAQ.
 
On March 30, 2007, PharmAthene entered into a $10.0 million credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank and Oxford Finance Corporation. Under the credit facility, PharmAthene borrowed $10 million which loan bears interest at the rate of 11.5% per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the loan and security agreement evidencing the credit facility, PharmAthene will make monthly payments of interest only through September 30, 2007 and, thereafter, will make monthly payments of principal and interest over the remaining 29 months of the loan. The loan is secured by a security interest on all of PharmAthene’s and PharmAthene Canada’s assets other than certain intellectual property. In addition, in the event that the proposed Merger is not consummated by August 3, 2007, PharmAthene has agreed to provide the lenders with a mortgage on its Canadian real estate. PharmAthene may not repay the loan for the first six months but, thereafter, may prepay provided it pays certain prepayment fees. In connection with the credit facility, PharmAthene issued to Silicon Valley Bank and Oxford Financial Corporation warrants to purchase an aggregate of 438,453 shares of PharmAthene Series C Preferred Stock through March 30, 2017 at an exercise price of $0.91. As a consequence of the issuance of the warrants, the Merger Allocation Agreement was amended and restated in order to recalculate the Merger Consideration payable to the holders of the various classes of capital stock of PharmAthene taking into account the newly issued warrants.
 
From April 2006 through July 2006, PharmAthene and PharmAthene Canada, Inc. a subsidiary of PharmAthene, collectively borrowed an aggregate of $11.8 million and issued 8% convertible notes (the “2006 Bridge Notes’’). The 2006 Bridge Notes are convertible upon the occurrence of various events, including (i) the closing of the merger with SIGA and a financing resulting in gross proceeds exceeding $25.0 million (the ‘‘SIGA Financing’’), and (ii) upon any financing resulting in gross proceeds in excess of $10.0 million, other than as described in (i) above (an ‘‘Other Financing’’). In the case of the SIGA Financing, the 2006 Bridge Notes were to be convertible, at a 10% discount, into the same SIGA securities sold in such financing. ; the SIGA merger agreement was subsequently terminated. In the case of an Other Financing, the 2006 Bridge Notes are convertible, at a 25% discount, into common stock of PharmAthene as well as shares of the same securities sold in such financing.
 
In connection with the SIGA Merger Agreement, PharmAthene entered into a Bridge Note Purchase Agreement with SIGA providing SIGA with interim financing, subject to the execution of a definitive merger agreement through a bridge loan of $3,000,000. PharmAthene fully funded this financing in 2006. On October 4, 2006, SIGA terminated the SIGA Agreement and repaid the $3.0 million Bridge Notes including interest.
 
In March 2005, PharmAthene sold 14,946,479 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock at a price of approximately $0.91 per share for net proceeds of $13,305,000. The Series C Preferred Stock bears a cumulative dividend rate of 8.0% per annum. Each share of the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate at any time and at the option of the holder. The Series C Preferred Stock will automatically convert to common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate in the event of an IPO of PharmAthene’s common stock resulting in aggregate proceeds to PharmAthene of $50 million and a share price of at least $2.74. Commencing in October 2009, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock may require PharmAthene to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding for an amount equal to the original purchase price plus any unpaid dividends. Proceeds from the equity issuance were used to partially finance the Nexia Acquisition and to fund further research and development programs related to ValortimTM and Protexia®, working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
The investors in the Series C Preferred Stock also received warrants to purchase 2,690,420 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to reduction if certain business milestones are met by PharmAthene, which expire in October 2014. Additionally, the investors in the Series C Preferred Stock also received warrants to acquire 4,483,946 shares of Series C Preferred Stock at an exercise price of approximately $0.91, which expire in March 2008.

In conjunction with the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, PharmAthene sold 2,951,654 shares of Class C Shares of PharmAthene Canada, Inc. (the ‘‘Class C Shares’’) in March 2005 for net proceeds of $2,364,000. The Class C Shares are, pursuant to the terms of a Put and Support Agreement, exchangeable for an equal number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The Class C Shares bear a cumulative dividend rate of 8% per annum.
 
The investors in the Class C Shares also received warrants to purchase 466,498 Class B Common Shares of PharmAthene Canada at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to reduction if certain milestones are met by PharmAthene. The investors in the Class C Shares also received warrants to purchase 777,496 Class C Shares at an exercise price of $.91 per share.
 
In October 2004, PharmAthene sold 30,448,147 shares of Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) at a price of approximately $0.91 per share for net proceeds of $27,570,000. The Series B Preferred Stock bears a cumulative dividend rate of 8.0% per annum. The Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert to common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate in the event of an initial public offering of PharmAthene's common stock resulting in aggregate proceeds to PharmAthene of $50 million and a share price of at least $2.74. Commencing in October 2009, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may require PharmAthene to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding for an amount equal to the original purchase price plus any unpaid dividends. Proceeds from the equity issuance were used for further research and development of the DNI program and its clinical trial, for the initiation of corporate activities with both Medarex and with the acquisition of the Protexia® assets, as well as working capital and general corporate purposes. The DNI program was subsequently terminated in the fourth quarter of 2004.
 
The investors in the Series B Preferred Stock also received warrants to purchase 15,400,000 shares of PharmAthene common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, subject to reduction if certain business milestones, which expire in October 2014, are met by PharmAthene. In December 2004, PharmAthene met the milestone related to 1,540,000 shares of common stock underlying the warrants to purchase common stock thereby reducing the number of outstanding warrants to 13,860,000. Following the Nexia Acquisition in March 2005, an additional milestone related to 6,160,001 shares of common stock underlying the warrants was achieved and total warrants outstanding were further reduced to 7,699,999.
 
In June 2004, PharmAthene entered into an agreement to borrow up to $3.0 million in the form of 8% convertible notes (the “2004 Bridge Notes”). The 2004 Bridge Notes were repayable upon the earlier of (i) the closing of a financing with gross proceeds exceeding $10.0 million or (ii) the sale of PharmAthene or (iii) December 31, 2004. The 2004 Bridge Notes bore an interest rate of 8% per annum and were convertible at the investors' option during a future financing or on December 31, 2004 into Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). In June 2004, PharmAthene borrowed $1.5 million under the Bridge Notes. Upon the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock in October 2004, the 2004 Bridge Notes were converted into Series B Preferred Stock at approximately $0.91 per share. As a result of this financing and in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, the conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock was adjusted with an additional 2,672,770 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the investors.
 
In September 2003, PharmAthene sold 13,769,230 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of approximately $1.09 per share for net proceeds of $14,894,000. The Series A Preferred Stock bears a cumulative dividend rate of 8.0% per annum. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate at any time and at the option of the holder. The Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert to common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate in the event of an initial public offering of PharmAthene’s common stock resulting in aggregate proceeds to PharmAthene of $50 million and a share price of at least $2.74. Commencing in October 2009, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may require PharmAthene to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding for an amount equal to the original purchase price plus any unpaid dividends. Proceeds from the equity issuance were used for research and development of the DNI program, working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
-102-

 
From inception until August 2003, PharmAthene has issued approximately $492,000 in notes payable to directors and scientific advisory board members. These notes accrued interest at rates ranging from 4.74% to 8.0%. Subsequent to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock in September 2003, PharmAthene repaid the outstanding balance and interest under such notes for approximately $521,000.
 
Future Cash Needs
 
PharmAthene has financed its operations since inception in March 2001 primarily through the issuance of equity securities, convertible notes, and proceeds from loans or other borrowings. Any, or all, of these financing vehicles or others may be utilized to fund PharmAthene’s future capital requirements.
 
PharmAthene's future capital requirements and liquidity will depend on many factors, including but not limited to: the progress of its research and development programs; the progress of pre-clinical and clinical testing; the time and cost involved in obtaining regulatory approval; the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; the changes in its existing research relationships, competing technological and marketing developments; its ability to establish collaborative arrangements and to enter into licensing agreements and contractual arrangements with others; and any future change in its business strategy.
 
PharmAthene has incurred cumulative net losses and expects to incur additional losses to perform further research and development activities. It does not have commercial products and has limited capital resources. PharmAthene's plans with regard to these matters include continued development of its product candidates as well as seeking additional research support funds and financial arrangements through a combination of collaborative agreements, strategic alliances, research grants, equity and debt financing. Although PharmAthene continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on commercially reasonable terms or that PharmAthene will be able to secure financing from anticipated government contracts and grants. PharmAthene has developed a plan to reduce its operating expenses in the event that sufficient funds are not available, or if it is not able to obtain anticipated government contracts and grants. If PharmAthene is unable to raise adequate capital or achieve profitability, future operations will need to be scaled back or discontinued.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The only off-balance sheet arrangements which PharmAthene has entered into are its facility and equipment operating lease agreements. PharmAthene’s obligations under these agreements are presented in this section under ‘‘Contractual Obligations.’’

Critical Accounting Policies

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires PharmAthene to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. PharmAthene bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions. PharmAthene believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant estimates and assumptions and require the use of complex judgment in their application.

Adoption of FASB 123R regarding share-based payments

On December 13, 2004, the FASB issued FAS 123R, which requires that all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the income statement based on their grant date fair values for interim or annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Costs of all Share-based payments will be recognized over the requisite service period that an employee must provide to earn the award (i.e. usually the vesting period) and charged to the operating expense associated with that employee. PharmAthene adopted FAS 123R on January 1, 2006 using the ‘‘modified prospective’’ method. Because PharmAthene does not have history as a publicly held company, it has based such measurements as volatility on publicly held companies similar to PharmAthene.
 
-103-


Revenue Recognition

PharmAthene recognizes revenue when all terms and conditions of the agreements have been met including persuasive evidence of an arrangement, services have been rendered, price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. For reimbursable cost research grants, PharmAthene recognizes revenue as costs are incurred and appropriate regulatory approvals have been obtained or approval criteria are met for invoicing the related government agency. This approval criteria may be met or obtained on certain factors, such as the achievement of milestone objectives or the completion of certain tasks according to agreed upon activity terms.

All of the grant revenue PharmAthene recognized historically was received under a cost reimbursement grant from the U.S. government to fund the development of pharmaceutical products for biodefense applications. Uncertainties exist as to the approval of receipts pursuant to such cost reimbursement grants including the execution risks associated with the successful completion of related tasks and the funding risks caused by the modifications of contracts at any time by the granting agency to accommodate goals or budgetary funding changes. In addition, reimbursed costs are subject to review and adjustment by the granting agency. As PharmAthene develops experience with contracting authorities and as its incurred cost submissions are reviewed and approved by the responsible government authorities, estimates of the assumptions related to these uncertainties may change.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Intangible Assets

When PharmAthene acquires development products, we allocate the purchase price, including expenses and assumed liabilities, to tangible and intangible assets. The portion allocated to intangible assets may be allocated to trademarks, patents and other intangibles using the assistance of valuation experts. PharmAthene estimates the useful lives of the assets by considering the remaining life of the patents, estimated future introductions of competing products, and other related factors.

Because of the nature of pharmaceutical research, and particularly because of the difficulties associated with efficacy studies in humans related to the bioterrorist products with which PharmAthene works and the government's related funding provisions, factors that drive the estimate of the life of the asset are often more uncertain than other non-bioterrorist pharmaceutical research. On an annual basis, PharmAthene assesses recoverability of intangibles from future operations, using undiscounted future cash flows derived from the intangible assets.

Any impairment would be recognized in operating results to the extent the carrying value exceeds the fair value, which is determined based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows; in certain situations, where the carrying value is dependent upon the outcome of a single study and that study is unsuccessful, that impairment may be significant in amount and immediate in timing.

Consolidation of PharmAthene Canada, Inc.

The FASB has issued ASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (“FIN 46R”), which expands consolidated financial statements to include variable interest entities. Variable interest entities are to be consolidated by the company which is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the entity, even if such company does not have majority control. Under FIN 46R, PharmAthene has been deemed the primary beneficiary of PharmAthene Canada, Inc., a variable interest entity. Accordingly, the financial results of PharmAthene Canada, Inc. have been consolidated with the PharmAthene financial statements as of its date of inception.

INFORMATION ABOUT PHARMATHENE
 
Overview

PharmAthene is in the business of discovering and developing novel human therapeutics and prophylactics for the treatment and prevention of morbidity and mortality from exposure to biological and chemical weapons. PharmAthene has two products currently in development, Valortim™, a human monoclonal antibody (an identical population of highly specific antibodies produced from a single clone) for the prevention and treatment of anthrax infection, and Protexia®, a bioscavenger for the treatment or prevention of nerve agent poisons by organophosphate compounds which include nerve gases and pesticides.
 
The U.S. government has identified certain indications as priorities for biodefense funding, including anthrax, nerve agent exposure, smallpox, botulinum toxin and radiation. PharmAthene is pursuing the development of products in the areas of anthrax and nerve agent exposure. Currently, the FDA has an expedited and simplified mechanism for regulatory approval of biodefense drugs. Phase I human clinical trials are required to show reasonable safety, but efficacy only needs to be demonstrated in two animal species. In addition, the U.S. government has enacted laws and established processes to permit the sale of bioterrorism drugs to government organizations prior to obtaining regulatory approval.
 
PharmAthene’s lead product candidate, Valortim™, is a fully human monoclonal antibody designed to protect against and treat inhalation anthrax infection, the most lethal form of illness in humans caused by the Bacillus anthracis bacterium. PharmAthene is co-developing Valortim™ with Medarex, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in developing fully human antibody-based therapeutic products and will share with Medarex any profits derived from sales of Valortim™. Preclinical trials on animal models have demonstrated that Valortim™ is highly efficacious as both a prophylaxis and a therapeutic for inhalation anthrax infection in some animal models. PharmAthene and Medarex have completed dosing of healthy volunteers in a Phase I open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity (the ability of an antigen to elicit an immune response), and pharmacokinetics (the study of absorption, metabolism and action of drugs) of a single dose of Valortim™ administered intravenously or intramuscularly. No drug-related serious adverse events have been reported. Final results from the Phase I trial were presented at the Infectious Disease Society of America meeting in October 2006. Valortim™ has been granted Fast Track Status by the FDA, which may permit PharmAthene to submit portions of a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) or efficacy supplement before the complete BLA is submitted. This may expedite the review process but requires that the FDA have sufficient resources to allow early review of the portions submitted. In addition, Valortim™ has been granted orphan drug status for the treatment of inhalational anthrax.
 
Protexia®, PharmAthene’s second product candidate, is a recombinant form (produced using genetic engineering technology) of human butyrylcholinesterase, a naturally occurring enzyme (“BChE”) for use in the prophylaxis and treatment of organophosphate chemical nerve agent poisoning. Preclinical trials on animal models have demonstrated that Protexia®is highly efficacious as both a prophylaxis and a therapeutic for chemical nerve agent poisoning. PharmAthene plans to continue preclinical animal studies of Protexia® throughout 2007 and file an Investigational New Drug application (“IND”) with the FDA in 2008. The procurement process for the scale-up development and sale of Protexia® is already underway with the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”), the department tasked with purchasing biodefense countermeasures for military use. The DoD requested competitive bids in a Request for Proposal (an “RFP”) for a recombinant form of BChE drug for the prophylaxis treatment of chemical nerve agent poisoning, which PharmAthene submitted in November 2005.  In September 2006, PharmAthene was awarded a contract with a potential value of $213 million by the DoD for advanced development of Protexia® and procurement of an initial 90,000 doses.
 
Strategy
 
PharmAthene’s goal is to become the premier company worldwide specializing in the discovery, development, and commercialization of therapeutic and prophylactic drugs for defense against bio-terrorism and to eventually leverage its biodefense capabilities for non-biodefense products in broader commercial markets. PharmAthene’s strategy to achieve this objective includes the following elements:
 
·   In-license or acquire development-stage product candidates that address other large biodefense markets. PharmAthene endeavors to continue to build a portfolio of development-stage products in the area of biodefense. PharmAthene intends to continue to identify development-stage product candidates, including therapeutics, diagnostics and vaccines, that address the bioterrorism threats given the highest priority by the U.S. government, such as smallpox and botulinum toxin.
 
-106-

 
·    Maximize the value of its product candidates, Valortim™ and Protexia®, by accessing the resources of PharmAthene’s partners. PharmAthene intends to maximize the value of its product candidates by leveraging the substantial clinical, financial, regulatory, and commercial strengths of its partners. PharmAthene believes that Medarex provides manufacturing and monoclonal antibody development expertise and other resources needed to help successfully develop Valortim™. In addition, PharmAthene actively co-developed Protexia® with the U.S. Army under a cooperative research and development agreement. PharmAthene believes the U.S. Army is the leading institution in the area of chemical nerve agent testing and analysis, including modified, more toxic forms of organophosphate nerve agents which have not yet been, but may eventually be, used as weapons.
 
·    Establish additional collaborations with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. PharmAthene will seek to enter into additional partnerships to support the development of existing and future pipeline products, or to more favorably position its products for government procurement.
 
·  Market and apply PharmAthene’s capabilities in the procurement of government contracts to sell other companies’ products. PharmAthene personnel has significant experience in dealing with all aspects of government contract bidding, procurement and maintenance including, the applicable accounting procedures and real-time evaluation processes. PharmAthene believes that companies that are not focused on biodefense but that do have products that could be sold to the government could benefit from PharmAthene’s capabilities. PharmAthene has been approached, and anticipates that it will continue to be approached, by companies willing to enter into sales, marketing and distribution agreements for access to PharmAthene’s government contracting expertise. While PharmAthene has not entered into any such arrangements to date, PharmAthene expects that this is a further area for expansion of its business in the future though PharmAthene cannot assure that such arrangements will be entered into or, if entered into, will be profitable for PharmAthene or will positively affect its future operations or revenues.
 
·    Expand into commercial markets by leveraging PharmAthene’s biodefense capabilities. To diversify its risk of dependence on government funding of biodefense products, PharmAthene intends to apply its drug development expertise and capabilities for the development of non-biodefense products for broader commercial markets. For example, PharmAthene believes that Protexia®, its recombinant human BChE product, in addition to having utility as a broad-spectrum countermeasure against nerve agent chemical weapons, may be used to treat cocaine and heroin addiction. Documented test results have shown that BChE is a major cocaine-metabolizing enzyme in humans and other primates which suggests that treatment with BChE may have benefits in enhancing cocaine metabolism and in having a protective action against cocaine and, as such, may help reduce risks of complications due to cocaine and heroin abuse as well as help prevent and treat addiction.
 
Biodefense Industry
 
Market Overview
 
In recent years, the U.S. government has significantly increased spending for development of measures to counteract biowarfare agents and has established numerous programs with some budgets extending out for nearly a decade. U.S. government spending on military and civilian biodefense currently averages nearly $7 billion annually, representing the vast majority of spending on biodefense countermeasures worldwide. The biodefense market can be divided into three segments: U.S. civilian, U.S. military, and non-U.S. markets.
 
 · 
U.S. Civilian
 
The U.S. civilian market includes funds allocated to protecting the U.S. population from biowarfare agents. The market is largely funded by Project BioShield. The Project BioShield Act of 2004, the U.S. government’s largest biodefense initiative, was signed into law for the procurement of biodefense countermeasures for the Strategic National Stockpile. Project Bioshield provided for $5.6 billion in biodefense spending for the period from July 2004 through 2013. Procurement awards totaled $1.8 billion through 2006 and $400 million is expected to be awarded through 2008. The remaining $2.2 billion is scheduled to become available in 2009.
 
-107-

 
According to the DoD, U.S. civilian biodefense spending outside of Project BioShield has been approximately $5 billion per year since 2003. The Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Homeland Security account for 88% of civilian biodefense dollars.
 
 · 
Military
 
The DoD is responsible for the development and procurement of countermeasures for the military segment which focuses on providing biowarfare protection for military personnel and civilians who are on active duty. The Chemical and Biological Program was funded with $1.2 billion in 2005, while $1.5 billion was requested for 2006, according to the DoD. Of such amounts, funds dedicated to the development and procurement of medical technologies, therapeutics, and vaccines are approximately $300 million for 2005, while nearly $400 million has been requested for 2006. Total funding for the Chemical and Biological Program between 2006 and 2011 is projected by the U.S. government to be $9.9 billion.
 
 · 
Non-U.S. Markets
 
Non-U.S. markets address protection against biowarfare agents for both civilians and military in foreign countries. PharmAthene believes the recognition by foreign governments of a need for biodefense programs has been increasing recently. Foreign biodefense programs would help support a larger market and also further diversify PharmAthene’s potential sources of funding.
 
Project BioShield
 
Project BioShield is focused on products with low technology risk that will be available for purchase in the near term. The U.S. government has identified the following indications as a priority: anthrax; smallpox; botulinum toxin; radiation; and nerve agent exposure. To identify the best products for these indications, HHS has issued Requests for Information (“RFI”) followed by RFP. The RFP details requirements including treatment types, number of doses and delivery timeframe. To qualify for Project BioShield funding, a company is required to demonstrate product efficacy in an animal model, initial product safety in Phase I clinical trials and sufficient manufacturing capabilities. To date, 10 awards have been made under Project BioShield, including those for anthrax vaccines and therapeutics, radiation, and botulinum. While the largest contract ($877 million) for anthrax vaccine was terminated, HHS has indicated those funds will be allocated to a new solicitation and award for anthrax vaccines.
 
Development Cycle
 
The U.S. government has acted to facilitate expeditious development of biodefense countermeasures by shortening the development and approval process relative to traditional pharmaceutical products. Development of biodefense products may be less expensive and less risky compared to traditional therapeutics and vaccines because human efficacy trials are not required.
 
Immediate Biodefense Focus: Anthrax and Nerve Agent Exposure
 
Under Project BioShield, the government has identified certain indications as priorities for biodefense funding including anthrax, smallpox, botulinum toxin, radiation, and nerve agent exposure. PharmAthene is pursuing the development of products in the areas of anthrax and nerve agent exposure.
 
-108-

 
Anthrax
 
The three general modes of infection by Bacillus anthracis (“B. anthracis”), the bacterium which causes anthrax, are by inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact. Inhalation is the form of infection most likely to be lethal. Inhalational anthrax occurs when the anthrax bacterium becomes airborne and enters a person’s body through the lungs. Persons suffering from inhalation anthrax will experience a series of symptoms consisting of fever, muscle aches, fatigue, and cough, which lasts an average of four days. Following this period, there is rapid onset of severe respiratory distress, low blood oxygen and low blood pressure, which generally culminates in death. Inhalation anthrax has a 95% to 100% mortality rate if left untreated, and at least a 50% mortality rate in patients treated aggressively with antibiotics. Persons infected by B. anthracis that is ingested will suffer from gastrointestinal anthrax; those whose skin comes into contact with the anthrax bacteria will suffer from cutaneous anthrax. Gastrointestinal anthrax often presents those exposed with serious gastrointestinal difficulty, vomiting of blood, severe diarrhea, acute inflammation of the intestinal tract, and loss of appetite. Gastrointestinal anthrax has a 25% to 65% mortality rate if left untreated. Cutaneous anthrax generally causes skin infections within a week or two after exposure. Cutaneous anthrax is the least fatal. Without treatment, approximately 20% of all skin infection cases are fatal. Treated cutaneous anthrax is rarely fatal.
 
B. anthracis is a spore forming bacterium that has potential use as a weapon of bioterror, especially when delivered in an aerosolized form. Following germination of the spores, the bacteria replicates and produces three toxins. The first of these toxins, Anthrax Protective Antigen initiates the onset of illness by attaching to the outside of the healthy cells of the infected person, and then facilitates the entry of the two additional destructive toxins, referred to as Lethal Factor and Edema Factor, into those cells.
 
The DoD estimates that up to ten countries may possess anthrax weapons and an undetermined number of individuals and terrorist groups could have access to anthrax. Anthrax is an effective bioterrorism agent because the spore-forming bacteria are very stable, can be milled to a very fine powder, and may be dispersed widely with readily available instruments and machinery. The World Health Organization estimates that 50 kilograms of B. anthracis released upwind of a city of 500,000 people could result in up to 95,000 fatalities, with an additional 125,000 persons being incapacitated.
 
PharmAthene believes that currently available treatment for inhalation anthrax is limited and suboptimal. Following exposure, but prior to the onset of symptoms, antibiotics like ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, or penicillin can be used as post-exposure prophylaxis with the goal of preventing progression of the disease. In order to be fully effective when used in this way, the recommended antibiotic treatment must be continued for sixty days. PharmAthene believes that both compliance and side effects are problematic for anyone asked to take antibiotics for such an extended period of time. A product like Valortim™, with a prolonged half-life, might allow for less frequent dosing to achieve adequate post-exposure prophylaxis.
 
Once symptoms have developed following exposure, interventions are aimed at improving mortality. PharmAthene believes the addition of an anti-toxin like Valortim™ has the potential to significantly improve upon the current therapeutic regimen, and it would have the added benefit of acting against the toxins released from antibiotic-resistant strains.
 
Chemical Weapons and Nerve Agents
 
Chemical weapons use the toxic properties, as opposed to the explosive properties, of chemical substances to produce physiological effects on an enemy. Classic chemical weapons, such as chlorine and phosgene, were employed during World War I and consisted primarily of commercial chemicals used as choking and blood agents, which caused respiratory damage and asphyxiation. Nerve agents, one of the most lethal forms of chemical weapons, were developed in the 1930s in the years leading up to World War II.
 
Nerve agents function by binding to acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that normally causes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to relax. By blocking the activity of acetylcholinesterase, nerve agents cause nerve impulses to be continually transmitted, causing muscle contractions that do not stop. This effect is referred to as a “cholinergic crisis” and consists of a loss of muscle control, respiratory failure, paralysis and convulsions. Nerve agent exposure that does not cause death after a short period can lead to permanent brain damage. Nerve agents are a class of organophosphates, a term which refers to organic chemicals that contain the element phosphorous.
 
-109-

 

Nerve agents, which are all liquids at room temperature, are generally lethal far more quickly and in far lower quantities than are classic chemical weapons, and are effective both when inhaled and when absorbed through the skin. Nerve gases can be classified as either G-agents (such as sarin, soman, tabun) or V-agents (such as VX), both of which are volatile and toxic. Chemical agents can be delivered through explosive devices, spray tanks or most any other liquid or gas dispersion devices and machinery.
 
The current standard of care for post-exposure treatment involves repeated doses of a cocktail of drugs, including atropine, oxime reactivators, and anti-convulsants. PharmAthene believes available treatment options are inadequate and there is a need for more efficacious countermeasures, especially as evidence mounts that modified, more toxic forms of organophospates, VX and G agents may be used in future attacks.
 
There is currently only one FDA approved product, Pyridostigmine bromide (“PB”), which is used as a “pre-treatment adjunct” against nerve agent poisoning, and it is only usable to counteract poisoning by one nerve agent, soman. It confers no protection on its own but enhances the protection conferred by post-exposure treatment. The current standard of care for post-exposure treatment involves repeated doses of a cocktail of drugs including atropine, oxime reactivators (“2-PAM”) and anti-convulsants. However, this standard of care acts primarily on the symptoms of nerve agents, not their underlying cause. PharmAthene believes available pre-and post-treatment options are inadequate and that there is a need for more efficacious countermeasures.

Valortim™: Anthrax Monoclonal Antibody
 
Valortim™ is a fully human antibody designed to protect against or treat inhalation anthrax, the most lethal form of illness in humans caused by B. anthracis. Valortim™ functions by targeting Anthrax Protective Antigen, a protein component of the lethal toxins produced by the bacterium. Anthrax Protective Antigen (“Anthrax PA”) initiates the onset of the illness by attaching to and facilitating the entry of the destructive toxins Lethal Factor (“LF”) and Edema Factor (“EF”) into healthy cells in the infected person. Valortim™ is designed to bind to Anthrax PA and protect the cells from damage by the anthrax toxins. In preclinical studies, Valortim™ both protected against infection, and when administered some time after exposure, facilitated recovery and survival in animals exposed to lethal inhalation doses of anthrax spores.

Anthrax spore challenge studies in animals have demonstrated protection by Valortim™ both when given early following challenge (post-exposure prophylaxis) as well as when given up to 48 hours after challenge (therapeutic intervention). Valortim™ binds to a novel site of Anthrax PA, permitting protection after toxins have already attached to the cell. PharmAthene believes Valortim’s potency and unique mechanism of action differentiate it from competing products, and provides superior activity in the toxin neutralization assay. PharmAthene believes that, in the initial Phase I clinical trials in healthy human volunteers, Valortim™ was well-tolerated with no drug-related serious adverse events reported.
 
Development Timeline
 
Currently, PharmAthene and Medarex have completed dosing in a Phase I open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of Valortim™ administered intravenously or intramuscularly in healthy volunteers. Final results from the Phase I study were presented at the Infectious Disease Society of America meeting in October 2006.
 
Recently, Valortim™ received Fast Track designation from the FDA, which generally indicates that the FDA will facilitate the development and expedite the regulatory review of the product. However, PharmAthene can provide no assurance that the review will be successful. Valortim™ has also been granted Orphan Drug status, a designation for drugs developed for diseases which affect less than 200,000 persons in the United States and provides for reduced fees to the FDA, market exclusivity for seven years and other FDA-related privileges.
 
Clinical and Preclinical Studies
 
Valortim™ is being developed for two indications: (i) as a post-exposure prophylaxis; and (ii) as a post-exposure therapy.
 
Clinical Phase I Studies
 
Valortim™ has been tested in a Phase I, single-dose, dose-escalation trial in healthy human volunteers. PharmAthene found that subjects tolerated Valortim™ without drug-related serious adverse events. Minor adverse events reported included pain at the intramuscular injection site, headache, muscle aches, and occasionally bruising at the site of the intravenous catheter inserted for drug dosing and blood draws. Pharmacokinetic data indicate that Valortim™ has good bioavailability following intramuscular injection; additionally, both intravenous and intramuscular injection result in a half-life of 26 to 30 days.
 
Preclinical Studies: Post-exposure Prophylaxis Indication
 
PharmAthene has conducted two studies in animals to evaluate the use of Valortim™ as a post-exposure prophylaxis, or, in other words, to protect exposed patients from developing the symptoms and from dying of inhalational anthrax. Eighty-five percent of rabbits treated intravenously with doses of Valortim™ survived following inhalational exposure to anthrax spores. One hundred percent of cynomolgus monkeys treated intramuscularly with doses of Valortim™ were protected from death following exposure to inhalational anthrax spores. Treatment of both of these animal models was initiated within one hour following exposure to the anthrax spores.
 
PharmAthene has also conducted a study in animals to evaluate the use of Valortim™ as a post-exposure therapeutic. This indication for Valortim™ would be intended to treat those patients who have already developed symptoms of inhalational anthrax. In this study, 89% of the animals treated with Valortim™ intravenously twenty-four hours following inhalational exposure to anthrax spores survived. A second group of animals were not treated with Valortim™ until forty-eight hours following exposure; 42% of the animals treated at this timepoint survived. Lower doses have not yet been tested in this model. Additional work has begun to test Valortim™ in a second animal model for its effectiveness when given at extended timepoints following inhalational anthrax spore exposure.
 
Protexia®: Recombinant Human Butyrylcholinesterase
 
-111-

 
Protexia® is a recombinant version of human butyrylcholinesterase (“rBChE”), a naturally occurring protein found in minute quantities in blood. In its natural form, butyrylcholinesterase, or “BChE” functions as a natural bioscavenger, like a sponge, to absorb and degrade organophospate poisons (e.g. nerve agents) before they cause neurological damage. Protexia® is being developed as a pre-exposure and post-exposure therapy for military and civilian targets of a nerve agent attack.
 
PharmAthene, in collaboration with the Institute for Chemical Defense (“ICD”), a U.S. military organization where the testing of Protexia® against traditional and non-traditional agents is performed, has screened for neutralizing activity by rBChE against a number of these classified agents. rBChE continues to be assayed against such non-traditional agents as they become available. In addition, newer more potent forms of rBChE will be screened as second-generation rBChE molecules (having higher affinity binding characteristics and enhanced catalytic activity) become available. Because ICD is a U.S. military organization, which treats the results of its studies as classified national security information, the results of these tests are not available to PharmAthene or to the public.

 Preliminary data has been generated through a collaboration with the University of Maryland suggesting that there may be more than one activity associated with Valortim™ to explain its mechanism of action. These data demonstrate that Valortim™ has the ability to enhance macrophage killing of B. anthracis spores within macrophages; this is in addition to its previously described toxin neutralizing activity. Further work is ongoing to fully elucidate these and other possible effects and functional properties of Valortim™.
 
Development Timeline
 
Protexia®’s capability as a medical countermeasure has been demonstrated in vivo by its ability to protect animals from multiple lethal doses of nerve agent chemical weapons. Protexia® has also been demonstrated to bind a broad spectrum of agents, including sarin, soman, tabun and VX. Protexia® has several likely advantages, including providing protection both pre-exposure and post-exposure, detoxification of organophosphate nerve agents with full spectrum protection and an acceptable safety profile.
 
Protexia® Proof of Concept Studies
 
Protexia® is being developed for two indications: (i) as a pre-exposure prophylaxis; and (ii) as a post-exposure therapy.
 
Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Indication:
 
Pre-treatment with Protexia® not only provided 100% survival against multiple lethal doses of the nerve agents VX and soman in animal models but surviving animals also displayed no nerve agent side effects. In these experiments, one group of animals was pre-treated with Protexia® or a negative control. Eighteen hours later, they were exposed to multiple lethal doses of nerve agent (VX or soman). Another group of animals was exposed to approximately 75% less nerve agent and then treated immediately with the current standard therapy, a three-drug cocktail of atropine, 2-PAM and diazepam. Animals were videotaped post-exposure and evaluated for toxic signs by observers blinded to the treatment groups. In addition, a functional observation battery neurological function tests (ability to balance and memory tests) were formed six hours after exposure.
 
Results: None of the control animals exposed to nerve agents alone survived while 100% of animals pretreated with Protexia® survived with no visible nerve agent side effects and no loss of balance or memory relative to negative control animals. In contrast, the animals exposed to much lower levels of nerve agents and subsequently treated with the current standard therapy did not respond as well. Survival in these animals was mixed with 100% survival in animals exposed to VX but only 50% survival in animals exposed to soman, although all survivors had significant side effects including a pronounced loss of balance and loss of memory.
 
Post-exposure Therapeutic Indication:
 
-112-

 
Based on the demonstration of protection when Protexia® was administered before nerve agent exposure, a series of experiments were conducted to determine whether Protexia® was effective as a therapy when administered after exposure to nerve agent.
 
The therapeutic efficacy of Protexia® was first evaluated in a domestic pig model with rapid (intravenous) exposure to nerve agent (VX) followed by treatment with Protexia® 15 minutes later. All of the control animals receiving nerve agent alone died with an average time to death of 1.5 hours while 50% of animals receiving Protexia® survived with a prolonged time to death (average of 5.4 hours) in the animals that died.
 
A second study was then conducted to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Protexia® in a different animal model and to increase the time before treatment with Protexia® to one hour. In this study, 90% of the animals exposed to VX on the skin and then treated with Protexia® survived as compared to no survivors among the group that was not treated.
 
U.S. Government Regulatory Pathway
 
General
 
Regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and other countries will be a significant factor in the production and marketing of any biopharmaceutical products that PharmAthene may develop. The nature and the extent to which such regulations may apply to PharmAthene will vary depending on the nature of any such products. Virtually all of PharmAthene’s potential biopharmaceutical products will require regulatory approval by governmental agencies prior to commercialization. In particular, human therapeutic products are subject to rigorous pre-clinical and clinical testing and other approval procedures by the FDA and similar health authorities in foreign countries. Various federal statutes and regulations also govern or influence the manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping and marketing of such products. The process of obtaining these approvals and the subsequent compliance with appropriate federal and foreign statutes and regulations requires the expenditure of substantial resources.
 
 Government Funding
 
The U.S. Government awarded Medarex, PharmAthene’s partner in the development of Valortim™, two separate grants of up to $7.2 million over the next three years for the further development of Valortim™. In addition, the DoD Appropriations bills for fiscal year 2006 and 2007 included $2.05 million and $1.0 million respectively to support PharmAthene’s ongoing development of Valortim™. Prior to PharmAthene’s acquisition of the recombinant butyrylcholinesterase program, Nexia, the predecessor of PharmAthene Canada, was awarded a $2.6 million contract by the DoD to support the expression of rBChE in the milk of transgenic goats and to provide proof of concept data that the product can be produced in kilogram quantities. Additionally, PharmAthene was awarded a multi-year contract which can provide up to $213 million by the DoD U.S. Army Space and Missile Command for the advanced development of Protexia®.
 
Collaborations
 
PharmAthene entered into a collaboration and development agreement with Medarex in November 2004 to co-develop Valortim™ for the treatment of anthrax infection. Under the terms of the agreement, Medarex and PharmAthene have agreed jointly to continue to investigate the potential for Valortim™ to be used as a therapeutic for individuals with active disease as well as for prophylactic treatment of individuals exposed to anthrax. Medarex received an initial payment from PharmAthene of $2,000,000 used to fund development activities already underway for Valortim™. PharmAthene will be solely responsible for funding all future research and development activities that are not supported by government funds. The companies will share profits according to a predetermined allocation percentage. The percentage of profits that PharmAthene will be entitled to receive will depend in part upon the amount of funding that it provides in connection with the collaboration. Additionally, PharmAthene will be responsible for marketing, selling and distribution of the product.
 
-113-

 
Additional animal model development and testing of Valortim™ for therapeutic efficacy will be carried out under a recently established Collaborative Research and Development Agreement with the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases.
 
PharmAthene has actively co-developed Protexia® with the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense under a cooperative research and development agreement.
 
Non-Biodefense Products in Development
 
In addition to its utility as a broad-spectrum countermeasure against nerve agent chemical weapons, PharmAthene is evaluating the use of BChE as a potential clinical candidate for the treatment of cocaine and heroin addiction and the treatment of initial toxicity from overdose of cocaine and heroin. This is due to the unique structure of the enzyme that allows for selective binding to a variety of substrates and inhibitors. Increasing endogenous levels of BChE can reduce risks of complications due to cocaine and heroin abuse.
 
Intellectual Property
 
PharmAthene’s success depends in part on its ability to obtain patents, to protect trade secrets, and to operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others. PharmAthene seeks to protect its proprietary position by, among other methods, filing U.S. and foreign patent applications related to the proprietary technology, inventions and improvements that are important to its business. PharmAthene currently holds two U.S. issued patents relating to its Protexia® product and six corresponding foreign patents. These patents provide PharmAthene with claim coverage for direct gene transfer into the ruminant mammary gland and the method for development of transgenic goats. The issued patents have expiration dates in 2015. In accordance with ongoing research and development efforts, PharmAthene has five pending U.S. patent applications and three corresponding foreign applications covering relevant and newly-developed portions of our transgenic technology.
 
In addition, PharmAthene is a party to various exclusive and non-exclusive licenses to specific patents and technologies relating to transgenic production of proteins in the milk of non-human animals which are held by other parties. Some of these licenses, which generally extend for the life of any applicable patent, require PharmAthene to pay royalties on sales of products which may be derived from or produced using the licensed technology.

PharmAthene relies upon certain proprietary trade secrets, know-how and continuing technolgocal advances to develop a competitive position. In efforts to maintain confidentiality and ownership of trade secrets, proprietary information and developments, all of PharmAthene’s employees are required to execute agreements regarding confidentiality and assigning to PharmAthene all rights to any inventions and processes they develop while they are employed by PharmAthene.

PharmAthene intends to use license agreements to access external products and technologies, as well as to convey its own intellectual property to others. PharmAthene will be able to protect its proprietary rights from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that its proprietary rights are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets.

Research and Development Costs

During 2006, 2005 and 2004, we incurred $7.1 million, $6.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively, of development expenses related to our research and development programs.

Manufacturing
 
PharmAthene has limited manufacturing capabilities and believes that acceptable alternatives are available through Contract Manufacturing Organizations, “CMOs.” These CMOs have experience in operating under the current Good Manufacturing Practices established by the FDA.
 
-114-

 
For Protexia®, PharmAthene owns and operates a transgenic goat farm for the production of BChE in Quebec, Canada. PharmAthene is currently producing this protein in the milk of transgenic goats at commercially feasible concentrations. This farm will be used for the commercial production of the crude material. The large-scale recovery and purification process is currently under development at PharmAthene’s research center in Montreal and at a CMO. For commercial manufacturing, the initial production will be performed at PharmAthene’s farm and the final purification of the bulk drug substance will be performed at a CMO. Final formulation and delivery are still being developed.
 
For Valortim™, the cell culture process was developed by PharmAthene’s partner for Valortim™, Medarex, and results in a commercially feasible and high purity product that would be manufactured commercially by a CMO. PharmAthene has determined that the capital investment and high operating costs of a manufacturing operation are not justified at this time and several acceptable CMOs are available to produce this product.
 
Competition
 
Anthrax Therapeutics:
 
Monoclonal antibodies (“MAbs”) directed against anthrax PA are being developed for post-exposure prophylaxis and as symptomatic therapy for anthrax infection. There are currently a limited number of companies of which PharmAthene is aware with anti-anthrax MAbs in development. These include: Human Genome Sciences, Inc., Elusys Therapeutics, Inc., Avanir Pharmaceuticals Inc. and IQ Corporation BV.
 
There are a number of orally available small molecule drugs approved and/or under development for the treatment of anthrax. These include both broad spectrum antibiotics as well as anthrax specific products. Bayer Corporation produces Ciprofloxacin, or “Cipro,” which has been approved for the post-exposure prophylaxis of inhalation anthrax. In late 2004, a number of generic versions of Cipro were also approved by the FDA.  
 
In addition to anthrax therapeutics, anthrax vaccines are currently available or in development. At present, only one vaccine is approved for use by the FDA for the prevention of anthrax which is BioThrax made by BioPort Corporation, a subsidiary of Emergent Biosolutions Inc. PharmAthene believes that second generation vaccines consisting of recombinant protective antigen are being developed by VaxGen Inc. and Avecia Biotechnology. PharmAthene also believes that third generation vaccines, consisting of improved formulations of the anthrax protective antigen are being developed by Avant Immunotherapeutics Inc., BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Cerus Corporation Inc., Dynavax Technologies Inc., DVC, Vical and LigoCyte Pharmaceuticals Inc.
 
 Organophosphorous Nerve Agent Therapeutics:
 
Nerve agents are considered to be among the most lethal biowarfare agents, yet there are few antidotes available. Symptoms of intoxication develop within seconds, and death can result within minutes after exposure by inhalation, absorption through the skin, or by oral consumption.
 
The current medical regimen for organophospate intoxication includes pretreatment with carbamates (i.e. pyridostigmine) to protect acetylcholinesterase (AChE) from irreversible inhibition, followed by anticholinergic drugs (i.e. atropine) to counteract the effects of excess acetylcholine, quaternary ammonium oximes (i.e. 2-PAM) to reactivate AChE that was inhibited by organophospate binding, and anticonvulsant drugs (i.e. diazepam) to minimize convulsions and permanent brain damage.
 
However, these medical countermeasures against nerve agents are not sufficiently effective, particularly at protecting the central nervous system. PharmAthene is aware of several antidotes to other nerve agents being developed by pharmaceutical companies, including Meridian Medical Technologies, a subsidiary of King Pharmaceuticals Inc. and DVC, a division of Computer Sciences Corp., in collaboration with Baxter Healthcare Corporation.
 
PharmAthene’s Subsidiary: PharmAthene Canada, Inc.
 
-115-

 
PharmAthene’s efforts with respect to Protexia® are conducted primarily through its facility in Canada and through its Canadian subsidiary, PharmAthene Canada, Inc. (“PharmAthene Canada”) through which it develops and manufactures complex recombinant proteins in the milk of transgenic goats for medical and industrial applications. PharmAthene Canada’s strength is producing proteins that cannot be made commercially using other recombinant systems.

INFORMATION ABOUT HAQ
Business of HAQ

General

We were incorporated in Delaware on April 25, 2005, as a blank check company formed to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination of an operating business whose fair market value is at least equal to 80% of our net assets at the time of such business combination.

A registration statement for our IPO was declared effective on July 28, 2005. On August 3, 2005, we consummated our IPO 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 per share. Our common stock and warrants started trading separately as of October 6, 2005.

Our net proceeds from the sale of our units were approximately $69,450,000. Of this amount, $67,928,000 was deposited in trust and the remaining $1,522,000 was held outside of the trust. The proceeds held outside the trust are available to be used by us, and are being used by us, to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. We evaluated a number of candidates before moving forward with PharmAthene. If the Merger with PharmAthene is not consummated, we will not have enough time or resources to continue searching for an alternative target.

Employees

We have three officers, all of whom are also members of our Board of Directors. 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. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.

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 is 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.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

HAQ has registered its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and has reporting obligations, including the requirement to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, HAQ's annual reports will contain financial statements audited and reported on by HAQ independent accountants. HAQ has filed an Annual Report on Form 10-K with SEC covering the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF HAQ

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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations

As of December 31, 2006 HAQ did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations. No unaudited quarterly operating data is included in this proxy statement as HAQ has conducted no operations to date.

Dissolution and Liquidation if No Business Combination

We have agreed with the trustee to promptly adopt a plan of dissolution and liquidation and initiate procedures for our dissolution and liquidation if we do not effect the Merger before August 3, 2007. The plan of dissolution will provide that we liquidate all of our assets, including the trust account, and after reserving amounts sufficient to cover our liabilities and obligations and the costs of dissolution and liquidation, distribute those assets solely to our public stockholders. As discussed below, the plan of dissolution and liquidation will be subject to stockholder approval under Delaware law.

Upon the approval by our stockholders of our plan of dissolution and liquidation, we will liquidate our assets, including the trust account, and after reserving amounts sufficient to cover our liabilities and obligations and the costs of dissolution and liquidation, distribute those assets solely to our public stockholders. Our initial stockholders, including certain of our officers and directors, have waived their rights to participate in any liquidating distributions occurring upon our failure to consummate a business combination with respect to those shares of common stock acquired by them prior to completion of our IPO and have agreed to vote all of their shares in favor of any such plan of dissolution and liquidation. We estimate that, in the event we liquidate the trust account, our public stockholders will receive approximately $7.54 (as of December 31, 2006) per share. We expect that all costs associated with implementing a plan of dissolution and liquidation as well as payments to any creditors will not be able to be funded by the proceeds of our IPO not held in the trust account and cannot assure you that any of those funds will be available for such purposes. Accordingly, if we do not have sufficient or any funds for those purposes, the amount distributed to our public stockholders will be less than $7.54 per share (as of December 31, 2006) as a result of the trust account being reduced to satisfy the costs associated with a liquidation.

To mitigate the risk of the amounts in the trust account being reduced by the claims of creditors:

· Prior to completion of the Merger, we will seek to have all vendors, prospective target businesses and other entities, which we refer to as potential contracted parties or a potential contracted party, execute valid and enforceable 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. In the event that a potential contracted party were to refuse to execute such a waiver, we will execute an agreement with that entity only if our management first determines that we would be unable to obtain, on a reasonable basis, substantially similar services or opportunities from another entity willing to execute such a waiver. Examples of instances where we may engage a third party that has refused to execute a waiver would be the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or a situation in which management does not believe it would be able to find a provider of required services similar in talent willing to provide the waiver.

· If we enter into an agreement with a potential contracted party that refuses to execute a valid and enforceable waiver, then our initial directors and officers will be personally liable to cover the potential claims made by such party but only if, and to the extent that, the claims otherwise would reduce the trust account proceeds payable to our public stockholders in the event of a dissolution and liquidation and the claims were made by that party for services rendered or products sold to us.

There is no guarantee that vendors, prospective target business, or other entities will execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility and other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. In addition, the indemnification provided by certain of our directors and officers is limited to claims by vendors that do not execute such valid and enforceable agreements. Claims by target businesses or other entities and vendors that execute such valid and enforceable agreements would not be indemnified by certain of our directors and officers. Based on representations made to us by certain of our directors and officers, we currently believe they are of substantial means and capable of funding a shortfall in our trust account to satisfy their foreseeable indemnification obligations, but we have not asked them to reserve for such an eventuality. Despite our belief, we cannot assure you that they will be able to satisfy those obligations. The indemnification obligations may be substantially higher than they currently foresee or expect and/or their financial resources may deteriorate in the future. As a result, the steps outlined above may not effectively mitigate the risk of creditors' claims reducing the amounts in the trust account.

Furthermore, creditors may seek to interfere with the distribution of the trust account pursuant to federal or state creditor and bankruptcy laws which could delay the actual distribution of such funds or reduce the amount ultimately available for distribution to our public stockholders. If we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us which is not dismissed, the funds held in our trust account will be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our public stockholders. To the extent bankruptcy claims deplete the trust account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return to our public stockholders the liquidation amounts they might otherwise receive.

As required under Delaware law, we will seek stockholder approval for any plan of dissolution and liquidation. We currently believe that any plan of dissolution and liquidation subsequent to the expiration of the 24 month deadline would proceed in approximately the following manner (subject to our agreement to take earlier action as described below):

· our Board will, consistent with its obligations described in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, prior to the passing of 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 we will also prepare a preliminary proxy statement setting out such plan of dissolution and liquidation as well as the Board's recommendation of such plan; 
 
-121-


· upon such deadline (or earlier as described below), we would file our preliminary proxy statement with the SEC; 

· if the SEC does not review the preliminary proxy statement, then, 10 days following the filing date, we will file a definitive proxy statement with the SEC and will mail the definitive proxy statement to our stockholders, and 30 days following the mailing, 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 SEC does review the preliminary proxy statement, we currently estimate that we will receive their comments approximately 30 days following the filing of the preliminary proxy statement. We will mail a definitive proxy statement 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 as soon as permitted thereafter.

In the event that we seek stockholder approval for a plan of dissolution and liquidation and do not obtain such approval, we will nonetheless continue to take all reasonable actions to obtain stockholder approval for our dissolution. Pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our purpose and powers following the expiration of the permitted time periods for consummating a business combination will automatically be limited to acts and activities relating to dissolving and winding up our affairs, including liquidation. Following the expiration of such time periods, 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. Our initial stockholders have agreed to vote all the shares of common stock held by them in favor of the dissolution. We cannot assure you that our stockholders will approve our dissolution in a timely manner or will ever approve our dissolution. As a result, we cannot provide investors with assurances of a specific time frame for our dissolution and distribution.

We expect that our total costs and expenses associated with the implementing and completing our stockholder-approved plan of dissolution and liquidation will be in the range of $50,000 to $75,000. This amount includes all costs and expenses related to filing our dissolution in the State of Delaware, the winding up of our company and the costs of a proxy statement and meeting relating to the approval by our stockholders of our plan of dissolution and liquidation. We believe that there should be sufficient funds available from the proceeds not held in the trust account to fund the $50,000 to $75,000 of expenses, although we cannot give you assurances that there will be sufficient funds for such purposes.
 
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), 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 we complied with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that a corporation 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 a stockholder 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. However, it is our intention to make liquidating distributions to our public stockholders as soon as reasonably possible after dissolution and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, our public stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution and any such liability of our public stockholders will likely extend beyond the third anniversary of such dissolution. Because we will not be complying with Section 280, we will seek stockholder approval to comply with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, 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. As described above, we seek to have all vendors and prospective target businesses execute valid and enforceable agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account and to date have entered into such agreements with PharmAthene. As a result, we believe the claims that could be made against us will be significantly reduced and the likelihood that any claim that would result in any liability extending to the trust will be limited.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL INFORMATION AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2006

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements combine the historical consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations of HAQ and PharmAthene. We are providing the following information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Merger. We derived this information from the audited consolidated financial statements of HAQ for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and from the audited consolidated financial statements of PharmAthene for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information is only a summary and you should read it in conjunction with HAQ’s ‘‘Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’’, the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 incorporated by reference in and accompanying this proxy statement and PharmAthene’s separate historical financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 as included in this proxy statement.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 gives effect to the Merger. The pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet is based on the historical balance sheet of HAQ as of December 31, 2006 and the historical balance sheet of PharmAthene as of December 31, 2006. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 is based on the historical results of operations of HAQ and PharmAthene for the year ended December 31, 2006 and gives effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2006 (the first day of fiscal year 2006 for PharmAthene). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 is based on historical results of operations of HAQ and PharmAthene for the year ended December 31, 2005 and gives effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2005 (the first day of year 2005 for PharmAthene).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The companies may have performed differently had they always been combined. You should not rely on the pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience after the Merger.
 
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using two levels of assumptions with respect to the number of outstanding shares of our common stock, as follows:
 
(i) assuming no conversions and maximum approval - this presentation assumes that none of our stockholders holding shares sold in our IPO vote against the Merger and convert their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account; and
 
(ii) assuming maximum conversions and minimum approval - this presentation assumes that holders of 19.99% of our stock sold in our IPO vote against the Merger and convert their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable and that are set forth in the notes to such statements, which are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing such pro forma information. We are providing this information to you to aid in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Merger and related transactions. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not intended to represent or be indicative of our consolidated results of operations or financial condition that we would have reported had the Merger, been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Information

 
(1)
Description of Transactions and Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

On January 19, 2007, PharmAthene and HAQ entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). In connection with the proposed merger (the “Merger”), HAQ will issue 12,500,000 shares of its common stock for all of PharmAthene’s outstanding shares of preferred stock and common stock, with 479,065 shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of PharmAthene’s common stock options and common stock warrants. For accounting purposes, the transaction is considered a ‘‘reverse merger’’ under which PharmAthene is considered to be acquiring HAQ. The 11,650,000 shares of HAQ common stock outstanding are considered as the basis for determining the consideration in the reverse merger transaction. Based on the outstanding shares of PharmAthene capital stock on December 31, 2006, common stockholders of PharmAthene will exchange their shares for 621,356 shares of HAQ common stock and preferred stockholders of PharmAthene and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock warrant holders will exchange their shares for 11,399,579 shares of HAQ common stock.

In addition, each PharmAthene stock option that is outstanding on the closing date will be converted to HAQ options by multiplying the PharmAthene options in accordance with agreed upon amounts. The new exercise price will also be determined by multiplying the old exercise price by the same ratio. Each of these options will be subject to the same terms and conditions that were in effect for the related PharmAthene option.

At the effective time of the Merger, all options to purchase shares of PharmAthene stock then outstanding under the PharmAthene, Inc. 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “PharmAthene Plan”) or issued under any other agreement, whether vested or unvested, shall be assumed by HAQ. The per-share exercise price for the shares of HAQ common stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed outstanding PharmAthene option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of PharmAthene common stock at which such outstanding PharmAthene option was exercisable immediately prior to the closing of the Merger by the share exchange ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent. PharmAthene has, as of the date hereof, options and warrants to acquire 9,625,197 shares of its common stock. The share exchange ratio for the options is .0498 to one. As a consequence, HAQ shall grant 479,065 options and common stock warrants with an average exercise price of $4.02 per share in exchange for all of the PharmAthene options and common stock warrants assumed by HAQ.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using two levels of assumptions with respect to the number of outstanding shares of our common stock, as follows:
 
(i) Assuming no conversions and maximum approval - this presentation assumes that none of our stockholders holding shares sold in our IPO vote against the Merger and convert their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account; and
 
(ii) assuming maximum conversions and minimum approval - this presentation assumes that holders of 19.99% of our stock sold in our IPO vote against the Merger and convert their shares into a pro rata portion of the trust account.

 
(2)
Preliminary Merger Purchase Price

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial statements reflect the Merger of PharmAthene with HAQ as a reverse merger wherein PharmAthene is deemed to be the acquiring entity from an accounting perspective. For accounting purposes, the transaction is being treated as an acquisition of assets and not a business combination because HAQ did not meet the definition of a business under EITF 98-3, Determination Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business. Accordingly, the transaction has been treated as a capital transaction whereby PharmAthene is issuing stock for the net monetary assets of HAQ, accompanied by a recapitalization. PharmAthene has recorded the purchase price as the net assets acquired with the offsetting credit to equity.
 
-128-

 
 
(3)
Preliminary Merger Purchase Allocation

Based on PharmAthene’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of the net assets acquired, the preliminary purchase price is as follows:
 
       
Initial Fair
Value
 
Tangible assets acquired
   
$
71,738,744
 
Liabilities assumed
     
(1,046,195
)
Net assets acquired
   
$
70,692,549
 
           

The final determination of the purchase price allocation will be based on the fair values of the assets and the fair value of the liabilities assumed at the effective date of the Merger. The purchase price will remain preliminary until PharmAthene is able to finalize its valuation of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. The final determination of purchase price allocation will be completed as soon as practical after the effective date of the Merger. The final amounts allocated to assets and liabilities could differ significantly from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet and related notes.

Board of Directors and Committees of the Board

After the 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.” Under the Merger Agreement, the noteholders will have the right to have three persons serve on the Board. 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.

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.

HAQ's Board of Directors has established a Nominating Committee and an Audit Committee to devote attention to specific subjects and to assist the Board in the discharge of its responsibilities. The functions of these committees and their current members, as well as anticipated membership, are set forth below.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee currently consists of Mr. Berger and Mr. Schellhammer. We expect to modify the composition of the Audit Committee as soon as practicable after the consummation of the Merger. 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 AMEX and the SEC. Each member of our audit committee will be financially literate under the current listing standards of the AMEX, 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 expect that the composition of the Audit Committee subsequent to the Merger will meet the listing standards of the AMEX and applicable SEC rules.

Upon completion of the Merger, and in connection with the recommendations of the Board, we expect that the members of the Audit Committee will be ______, _____ and ______.

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.
 
Nominating Committee

We have established a Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors, which currently is comprised of Mr. Berger and Mr. Schellhammer, each of whom is an independent director as defined by the rules of the AMEX and the SEC. We expect to modify the composition of the Nominating Committee as soon as practicable after the consummation of the Merger. 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 expect that the composition of the Nominating Committee subsequent to the Merger will meet the listing standards of the AMEX and applicable SEC rules.
 
-133-


Upon completion of the Merger, and in connection with the recommendations of the Board, we expect that the members of the Nominating Committee will be ____, _____ and ______.

Under the terms of the Note Exchange Agreement and the Merger Agreement, and in accordance with the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation as described under Proposal 2, we have agreed that the holders of the 8% note to be issued under the Merger Agreement 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 remain outstanding.

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 stockholder 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.

Compensation Committee

Effective at the closing of the Merger, we expect to create a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee will be charged with reviewing and determining the compensation of our executive officers, including the negotiation of any employment agreements with such persons. In addition, the Compensation Committee will be charged with oversight of the Incentive Plan and the grant of options and awards under the Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee will be comprised of three (3) persons, at least two of whom shall be independent persons.

Upon completion of the Merger, and in connection with the recommendations of the Board, we expect that the members of the Compensation Committee will be ____, _____ and ______.

Under the terms of the Note Exchange Agreement and the Merger Agreement, and in accordance with the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation as described under Proposal 2, we have agreed that the holders of the 8% notes to be issued under the Merger Agreement have the right to have two persons out of the three persons on the Compensation Committee for as long as 30% of the original principal amount of the 8% notes remain 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 AMEX. 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.

Director Compensation

It is anticipated that at or prior to the closing of the Merger with PharmAthene, the compensation to be paid to members of the Board of Directors of HAQ will be established and such compensation will be reasonable and customary for the industry.

Executive Compensation

None of HAQ’s executive officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered. Commencing on the effective date of our IPO through the consummation of a business combination, 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 per month for office space and certain general and administrative services, as a portion of the $7,500, was terminated on December 31, 2005. During 2005 and 2006, approximately $37,500 and $90,000 was incurred under these arrangements, respectively. The current agreement with Equity Dynamics, Inc. 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 IPO, 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.
 
HAQ has required as a condition to closing that Mr. David Wright, the current Chief Executive Officer of PharmAthene enter into a new employment agreement with HAQ, upon terms acceptable to both parties. The parties are negotiating the terms of the agreement. In the event that an agreement is not reached, HAQ may determine not to proceed with the Merger. In addition, upon completion of the Merger, it is anticipated that other officers of PharmAthene will be continuing their employment with PharmAthene.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In April 2005, HAQ 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
 
600,000
 
Chairman and Secretary
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.

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 the escrow entered into in connection with our IPO. 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 IPO, Mr. Pappajohn, Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Kinley loaned HAQ a total of $250,000 which was used to pay a portion of the expenses of our IPO, 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 IPO not placed in trust.

In accordance with their agreement with the representative of the underwriters in our IPO, Mr. Pappajohn, Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Kinley purchased, pursuant to the guidelines set forth in SEC Rule 10b5-1, 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 under established Rule 10b5-1 plans. The Rule 10b5-1 plans terminated on January 6, 2006.

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, 2005 and 2006, we have paid approximately $37,500 and $90,000, respectively, 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, 2005 and 2006, we have reimbursed such persons an aggregate of $67,642 and 94,314, respectively, in connection with these activities.

-136-


Persons who were stockholders prior to our IPO, 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 IPO, officers or directors who owned our common stock prior to our IPO, or to any of their respective affiliates for services rendered to us prior to or with respect to the business combination.

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.

Advisors

Maxim Group LLC

HAQ has retained Maxim Group LLC, a registered broker dealer firm, to act as its advisor in connection with the Merger with PharmAthene. In consideration for its services, we will pay Maxim Group the sum of $500,000 if and only if the Merger is completed. We retained Maxim on January 8, 2007. Maxim was retained to assist us in formulating and preparing presentation materials related to obtaining the stockholder votes necessary to approve the Merger, as well as coordinating with our management and the management of PharmAthene meetings with HAQ stockholders and the investment community to discuss the Merger. Maxim was not retained to, nor did it, assist our management with negotiating the terms of the Merger with PharmAthene.
 
Maxim Group served as the lead underwriter in HAQ’s IPO. As part of the IPO, Maxim agreed to defer 1% of its underwriting commission ($720,000) until consummation of a business combination. If the Merger with PharmAthene is completed, Maxim will be entitled to its deferred underwriting commission. In addition, Maxim Group holds an underwriter’s unit purchase option to purchase up to 225,000 units from our IPO (comprised of a total of 225,000 shares and 225,000 warrants), which option will expire without value if we do not complete a business combination before July 28, 2007. As a result, Maxim Group may have an interest in having the Merger completed.

Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc.

PharmAthene entered into an agreement with Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc. on November 2, 2006 whereby PharmAthene retained Bear Stearns as its financial advisor in connection with the proposed transaction with HAQ. As an initial payment against its total fee, Bear Stearns received an initial payment of $500,000, and if the transaction is completed, the remainder of the total $1,250,000 fee will be due and payable.

The Bear Stearns Companies, Inc. is the parent company of Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. and Bear Stearns Asset Management, Inc., which is the sole manager of Bear Stearns Health Innoventures Management, LLC. Funds affiliated with Bear Stearns Health Innoventures Management, LLC will beneficially own approximately 5.8% of the outstanding voting shares of the combined company (and 20.3% of the HAQ 8% convertible notes) following the Merger. In addition, Elizabeth Czerepak, is a member of Bear Stearns Health Innoventures Management, LLC. and is expected to be a member of the Board of Directors of HAQ following the Merger.

·
The columns reflecting the beneficial ownership after consummation of the Merger assume the issuance of 11,922,634 shares of HAQ common stock but no exercise of the options and warrants to purchase 577,366 shares of HAQ common stock issued in the Merger and no conversion of any 8% convertible notes issued in the Merger by HAQ.

All of the shares of HAQ common stock outstanding prior to the effective date of its IPO (all of which are owned by our directors and officers) were placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, and shall remain in escrow until the earliest of:
 
 
 
 
·
July 28, 2008;
 
 
 
 
·
HAQ's liquidation; or
 
 
 
 
·
the consummation of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of HAQ's stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

The certificates representing shares currently in escrow may be replaced by certificates representing the shares of the renamed entity.

During the escrow period, the holders of these shares will 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 HAQ 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 the Merger is not consummated and HAQ is liquidated, none of HAQ's existing stockholders owning shares of HAQ's common stock prior to its IPO will receive any portion of the liquidation proceeds with respect to common stock owned by them prior to the date of the IPO.

PRICE RANGE OF SECURITIES AND DIVIDENDS

PharmAthene

Historical market price information regarding the PharmAthene common stock is not provided because there is no public market for PharmAthene stock. On March 31, 2007, there were approximately 23 record holders of PharmAthene common stock, 1 record holder of PharmAthene Series A Preferred Stock, 13 record holders of PharmAthene Series B Preferred Stock, and 15 record holders of PharmAthene Series C Preferred Stock.

To date, PharmAthene has not paid cash dividends on its stock and does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Dividends Upon Completion of the Merger

Upon completion of the Merger with PharmAthene, HAQ does not intend to pay any dividends on its shares of common stock. Rather, it intends to reinvest any earnings back into the combined company. At this time, the combined company anticipates that it will retain any earnings and will not pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The combined company also expects that any loan or credit facilities that it enters into will limit its ability to pay dividends.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

HAQ is currently authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001. As of January 15, 2007, 11,650,000 shares of common stock are outstanding, held by 6 record holders. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding.

Common stock

HAQ's stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of HAQ's existing stockholders, including all of its officers and directors, have agreed to vote their respective shares of common stock owned by them immediately prior to HAQ's IPO in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public stockholders. This voting arrangement shall not apply to shares included in units purchased in HAQ's IPO or purchased following the offering in the open market by any of HAQ's initial stockholders, officers and directors. Additionally, HAQ's initial stockholders, officers and directors will vote all of their shares in any manner they determine, in their sole discretion, with respect to any other items that come before a vote of HAQ's stockholders.

HAQ will proceed with a business combination only if: (i) HAQ obtains the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of HAQ’s common stock issued in its IP that vote on the Merger Proposal at the Special Meeting and (ii) public stockholders owning less than 20% of the shares sold in HAQ's IPO exercise their conversion rights discussed below.

If HAQ is forced to liquidate prior to a business combination, holders of HAQ's shares of common stock purchased in its IPO are entitled to share ratably in the trust fund, inclusive of any interest, and any net assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities. HAQ's initial stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to share in any distribution with respect to common stock owned by them prior to the IPO if HAQ is forced to liquidate.

HAQ's stockholders have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock, except that public stockholders have the right to have their shares of common stock converted to cash equal to their pro rata share of the trust fund if they vote against the business combination and the business combination is approved and completed. 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.

Holders of 2,250,000 shares of common stock that were outstanding prior to HAQ's IPO are entitled to registration rights. The holders of the majority of these shares are entitled to make up to two demands that HAQ register the resale of 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. HAQ will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Preferred stock

HAQ's amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by HAQ's Board of Directors. Accordingly, HAQ's Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock, although the underwriting agreement prohibits HAQ, prior to a business combination, from issuing preferred stock which participates in any manner in the proceeds of the trust fund, or which votes as a class with the common stock on a business combination. HAQ may issue some or all of the preferred stock to effect a business combination, although HAQ will not issue any preferred stock in the Merger with PharmAthene. In addition, the preferred stock could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of HAQ. Although HAQ does not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, HAQ cannot assure you that it will not do so in the future.

Warrants

HAQ currently has warrants outstanding to purchase 9,400,000 shares of HAQ common stock. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of HAQ's common stock at a price of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of:

 
·
the completion of a business combination; or

 
·
July 28, 2006.

The warrants will expire on July 28, 2009, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time. HAQ may call the warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of $.01 per warrant at any time after the warrants become exercisable, upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder, if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $11.50 per share, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders.

The warrants are issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and HAQ.

The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or HAQ's recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below their respective exercise prices.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified check payable to HAQ, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock or any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, HAQ will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number the number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

On January 23, 2007, HAQ entered into a warrant clarification agreement to clarify the terms of the warrant agreement between HAQ and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent. The warrant clarification agreement clarifies that (i) if a registration statement covering the securities issuable upon the exercise of a warrant was not effective at the time a holder desired to exercise the instrument, then the warrant could expire unexercised, and (ii) in no event would HAQ be obligated to pay cash or other consideration to the holders of the warrants or "net-cash settle" the obligations of HAQ under the warrants.

Unit Purchase Option

In connection with its IPO, HAQ agreed to sell to Maxim Group LLC, the underwriter in HAQ's IPO, for $100, an option to purchase up to a total of 225,000 units. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are identical to those offered in HAQ's IPO except that the warrants included in the option have an exercise price of $7.50 (125% of the exercise price of the warrants included in the units sold in the IPO). This option is exercisable at $10.00 per unit commencing on the later of the consummation of a business combination and July 28, 2007 and expiring July 28, 2010.  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 HAQ's recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the option will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price or for any issuances in connection with the Merger.
 
-143-


On January 23, 2007, HAQ and Maxim Partners, LLC entered into an amendment to the unit purchase option. Such amendment clarifies that (i) if a registration statement covering the securities issuable upon the exercise of the unit purchase option was not effective at the time Maxim desired to exercise it, then the unit purchase option could expire unexercised, and (ii) in no event would HAQ be obligated to pay cash or other consideration to the holders of the unit purchase option or "net-cash settle" the obligations of HAQ under the unit purchase option.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

The transfer agent for HAQ's common stock and warrant agent for HAQ's warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

We are not anticipating holding any meeting of stockholders during 2007 other than the Special Meeting.

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.

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.

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.

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:

FS-11

 
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.

Report of Independent Auditors
 
Board of Directors
PharmAthene, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PharmAthene, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, convertible redeemable preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 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 generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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, and 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 consolidated financial position of PharmAthene, Inc. at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for share-based compensation in 2006 upon adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.”
 
As discussed in Note 1, the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2005 have been restated.

PharmAthene, Inc.
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004
 
1. Organization and Business
 
PharmAthene, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on March 13, 2001 (inception), under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing anti-infectives for biodefense applications. The Company has generated an accumulated deficit of $69,864,240 since inception. The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, as it can generate significant sales of its products currently in development. Substantial additional financing will be needed by the Company to fund its operations and to commercially develop its products. There is no assurance that such financing will be available when needed.
 
As further discussed in Note 16, the Company has signed a merger agreement and entered into a $10 million debt financing subsequent to December 31, 2006.
 
The Company is subject to those risks associated with any biopharmaceutical company that has substantial expenditures for research and development. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development projects will be successful, that products developed will obtain necessary regulatory approval, or that any approved product will be commercially viable. In addition, the Company operates in an environment of rapid technological change and is largely dependent on the services of its employees and consultants.
 
Restatement of Financial Statements
 
The Company has restated its 2005 consolidated financial statements due to an error in the determination of the fair value of the warrants to purchase preferred stock issued in conjunction with the sale of Series C convertible redeemable preferred stock (see Note 7). The Company allocated the proceeds of the Series C offering at the relative fair value of the three components, preferred stock, common stock warrants and preferred stock warrants. In accordance with FAS 150, because they may be exercised into instruments that may be put for cash, the preferred stock warrants must be presented at their fair value. Additionally, FAS 150 requires the warrants to be treated as liabilities and changes in their fair value to be recorded through the income statement. This error resulted in the preferred stock warrants being understated by $749,914 as of December 31, 2005, with a corresponding overstatement of Series C convertible redeemable preferred stock. The accretion of the Series C redeemable convertible preferred stock to its redemptive value was understated by $111,086, which caused loss per share to be understated by $0.01. The unaudited quarterly information in Note 17 has been restated accordingly. The unaudited quarterly information for the three months ended September 30, 2006 has been restated to reflect the change in the market value of the preferred stock warrants during that period by $49,170 or an additional loss of $0.02 per share.

2. Nexia Asset Purchase
 
On March 10, 2005, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Nexia Biotechnologies Inc. (Nexia) that relate to its Protexia® (recombinant human butyrylcholinesterase) compound. The Company paid approximately $19.1 million in cash, Series C Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the Series C Preferred Stock), and warrants. Specifically, the Company delivered to Nexia (i) 7,465,501 shares of Series C Preferred Stock valued at approximately $0.91 per share; (ii) warrants to acquire 2,239,650 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which are exercisable at approximately $0.91 per share and which expire on March 10, 2008; and (iii) warrants to acquire 1,343,790 common shares, which are exercisable at $0.01 per share, subject to reduction if certain business milestones are met by the Company, as specified in the warrants and which expire in October 2014. In addition, the Company delivered to Nexia $11,763,176 in cash. The purchased assets and liabilities are held by PharmAthene Canada, Inc., a variable interest entity consolidated by the Company, which was established by PharmAthene in connection with the purchase to allow for the holding of the assets and the investment of certain shareholders as further described in Note 8.
 
The purchase price of the Nexia assets was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The results of Nexia’s operations have been included in the financial statement since the acquisition date.
 
The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation to estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
 
$
248,000
 
Property and equipment, net

1,407,000
 
Accounts payable
   
(371,000
)
Total assets acquired
 
$
19,117,000
 

In connection with the acquisition and as calculated by a third party appraiser, the Company recorded $12.8 million of the purchase price of the Nexia Asset Purchase as acquired in-process research and development. The fair value was determined utilizing a present value technique involving a discounted cash flow analysis. Under this approach, fair value reflects the present value of the projected free cash flow that will be generated by the in-process research and development.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

2. Nexia Asset Purchase (continued)
 
At the date of the acquisition, the development of Protexia® was not complete, had not reached technological feasibility and had no known alternative uses. Consequently, there is considerable uncertainty as to the technological feasibility of this product at the date of the acquisition. The Company does not foresee any alternative future benefit from the acquired in-process research and development. Significant technological and regulatory approval risks are associated with the development of the product. Development of a product will require significant amounts of future time, effort, and substantial development costs, which will be incurred by the Company. The efforts required to develop the acquired in-process research and development into commercially viable products include the development of the compound for use in intended subjects and the reformulation of an alternate purification process for the compound, as well as the conducting of applicable clinical-trial testing, regulatory approval and the development of a product suitable for commercialization. The principal risks relating to achieving an indication under development are the outcomes of clinical studies of the alternatively purified compound and receiving positive results regulatory filings and approval. Since pharmaceutical products cannot be marketed without regulatory approvals, the Company will not receive any benefits unless regulatory approval is obtained. Accordingly, the portion of the purchase price related to these products under development was allocated to acquired in-process research and development and was expensed at the date of acquisition.
 
3. Management’s Plans as to Continuing as a Going Concern
 
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis which assumed that the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses and expects to incur additional losses to perform further research and development activities. The Company does not have commercial products and has limited capital resources. Management’s plans with regard to these matters include continued development of its products as well as seeking additional research support funds and financial arrangements. Although management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient financing on commercial reasonable terms or that the Company will be able to secure financing from anticipated government contracts and grants.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

3. Management’s Plans as to Continuing as a Going Concern (continued)
 
Management has developed a plan to reduce the Company’s operating expenses in the event that sufficient funds are not available, or if the Company is not able to obtain the anticipated government contracts and grants. If the company is unable to raise adequate capital or achieve profitability, future operations will need to be scaled back or discontinued. Continuance of the Company’s going concern is dependent upon, among other things, the success of the Company’s research and development programs and the Company’s ability to obtain adequate financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to recoverability of the carrying amount of recorded assets and liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, PharmAthene Canada, Inc., which was formed in March of 2005. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
The FASB has issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (FIN 46R). FIN 46R expands consolidated financial statements to include certain variable interest entities (VIEs). VIEs are to be consolidated by the company which is considered to be the primary beneficiary of that entity, even if the company does not have majority control. FIN 46R is immediately effective for VIEs created after January 31, 2003, and is effective for the Company in 2005 for VIEs created prior to February 1, 2003. The Company’s subsidiary, PharmAthene Canada, Inc., is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary.
 
Therefore, the Company has consolidated PharmAthene Canada, Inc. as of its date of inception.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Comprehensive Loss and Foreign Currency Translation
 
The financial statements of subsidiaries located outside of the United States are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. The resultant translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Income and expense items are translated at average monthly rates of exchange. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net earnings.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of a short-term money market account with a bank.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Through its inception to date, substantially all of PharmAthene’s accounts receivable have been associated with U.S. government contracts and grants or with the receipt of Quebec provincial or Canadian Federal credits for internally and externally generated research and development expenditures. Amounts invoiced or recorded as billed under these programs but not yet collected are reported as outstanding accounts receivable.
 
While the Company has a policy to provide an allowance for any amount of accounts receivable which it determines to be uncollectible and the Company will write off any uncollectible account when the likelihood of that account’s collection is determined to be not probable, the Company has not historically found it necessary to record any write-offs of accounts receivable or to record an allowance for uncollectible accounts. At December 31, 2006, the Company’s accounts receivable balance included approximately $853,600 related to U.S government contracts.

Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment consist of land, building and leasehold improvements, laboratory, computer, farm and office equipment and furniture and are recorded at cost. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
 
Asset Category
 
Estimated Useful Life
( in years)
 
       
Building and leasehold improvements

Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets consist of patents and are being amortized using the straight-line method over an 11 year period. The intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to have occurred if expected future undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset. If impaired, the asset’s carrying value is reduced to fair value.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheets and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheets. As of December 31, 2006, management believes that no revision of the remaining useful lives or write-down of long-lived assets is required.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Grant Revenue
 
The Company recognizes revenue when all terms and conditions of the agreements have been met including persuasive evidence of an arrangement, services have been rendered, price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. For reimbursable cost research grants, the Company recognizes revenue as costs are incurred and appropriate regulatory approvals have been obtained or approval criteria are met for invoicing the related government agency.
 
All of the grant revenue the Company recognized was received under a cost reimbursement grant from the U.S. government to fund the development of pharmaceutical products for biodefense applications. Receipts pursuant to such cost reimbursement grants are contingent upon the successful completion of related tasks, the granting agency may modify the contract at any time, and reimbursed costs are subject to review and adjustment by the granting agency.

Grant Revenue (continued)
 
In September 2006, the Company was awarded a multi-year cost reimbursement contract valued at up to $213 million from the Department of Defense Army Space and Missile Command for advanced development of the Company’s broad spectrum chemical nerve agent prophylaxis, Protexia®. The Department of Defense has allocated $34.7 million for the initial stage of development, including manufacturing process development, preclinical and toxicity testing activities, of this contract. The Company recognized $1.5 million of revenue on this contract for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Research and Development and In-Process Research and Development
 
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
 
Stock Compensation
 
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”) using the modified prospective method to record compensation expense for all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the selected inputs. Option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, require the input of subjective assumptions, and changes in the assumptions could materially affect the grant date value of the award. These assumptions include the risk-free rate of interest, expected dividend yield, expected volatility and the expected life of the award. The resulting compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period that an employee must provide to earn the award, the “vesting period”.
 
The fair value for the 2006 awards was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model assuming a weighted-average volatility of approximately 72%, a risk-free interest rate of 4.5%, a dividend yield of 0%, and a weighted-average expected life of the option of 9.4 years. The Company recognized compensation expense related to the awarding of stock options to employees of $322,768 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Stock Compensation (continued)
 
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company accounted for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related interpretations and complied with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123) for the periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Under APB 25, compensation expense was based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant between the fair value of the Company’s stock and the exercise price of the option.
 
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with SFAS 123 and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of the equity instrument is recorded on the earlier of the performance commitment date or the date the services required are completed.
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure (SFAS 148), the effect on net loss if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based employee compensation for the periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 is as follows:

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
 
Basic net loss per share of common stock excludes dilution for potential common stock issuances and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities were exercised into common stock. However, for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss attributable to common shareholders per share as the inclusion of weighted average shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants would be anti-dilutive. Securities outstanding in the amount of 116,652,000, 118,374,000 and 31,964,000 shares for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109), which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. SFAS 109 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company takes into account various factors, including the expected level of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If actual results differ from the assumptions made in the evaluation of the Company’s valuation allowance, the Company records a change in valuation allowance through income tax expense in the period such determination is made.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of their short maturities at December 31, 2006 and 2005.

The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization, adjusted based on current foreign currency rates, was $1,483,892 and $101,261, respectively, at December 31, 2005. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company has recorded amortization expense of $129,697 and $101,261, respectively. Amortization expense related to the above intellectual property is expected to be approximately $127,910 per year for the next five years.

7. Preferred Stock
 
Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
 
The Series A Preferred Stock bears a cumulative dividend rate of 8% per annum. Accrued and unpaid dividends for Series A Preferred Stock at December 31, 2006 and 2005 totaled $4,355,388 and $2,921,923, respectively.
 
Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate, as defined, at any time and at the option of the holder. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are currently convertible into 16,442,000 common shares. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain defined equity transactions. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company has reserved 16,442,000 shares of common stock for the potential conversion. The Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate in the event of an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock resulting in aggregate proceeds to the Company of $50 million and a price per share of at least $2.74.
 
The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference in an amount equal to the redefined original purchase price of $0.91 per share plus accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, in the event of a liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, sale, or merger. This liquidation preference is junior to the Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the Series B Preferred Stock) and the Series C Preferred Stock, and senior to the common stock.

7. Preferred Stock (continued)
 
Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (continued)
 
The Company recorded the Series A Preferred Stock at its fair value on the date of issuance of approximately $15,000,000, less issuance costs of $105,502. The issuance costs are accreted to the carrying value of the preferred stock up to the earliest redemption period using the effective interest method. The Company has classified the Series A Preferred Stock outside of permanent equity as a result of certain redemption features. Because the Series A Preferred Stock contains contingently adjustable conversion ratios, the Company evaluated the Series A Preferred Stock for potential beneӿcial conversion features under EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneӿcial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments. The contingently adjustable conversion ratio changed with the issuance of Series B Preferred Stock causing the Company to re-evaluate the potential beneficial conversion feature. In both cases, based on the fact that the adjusted implied conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock exceeded the fair value of the common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock converts, no beneficial conversion feature was deemed to exist. The implied conversion price was calculated by dividing the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock, net of the fair value allocated to the warrants issued to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock in conjunction with the Series B Preferred Stock offering, by the adjusted number of common shares into which the Series A Preferred Stock converts.
 
In conjunction with the Series B Preferred Stock financing, the Series A Preferred stockholders were granted 5,400,000 contingent warrants to purchase common stock for $0.01. The Company deemed 1,620,000 warrants to be probable of issuance. Accordingly, 1,620,000 warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model and were recorded as a $201,746 discount to the Series A Preferred Stock. This discount is being accreted through the period up to the first redemption date using the effective interest method. The fair value of the warrants were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model assuming a weighted-average volatility of approximately 60%, a risk free interest rate of 4.3%, a dividend yield of 0% and a weighted-average expected life of the warrant of 8.8 years.
 
Commencing September 11, 2008, the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock may require the Company to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding for an amount equal to the original purchase price plus any unpaid dividends, whether or not declared. The right of redemption is junior to the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock redemption rights.

The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of common shares into which its shares are convertible.
 
Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
 
In October 2004, the Company sold 30,448,147 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Series A Preferred Stock investor and four additional investors at a price of approximately $0.91 per share for net proceeds of $27,570,490. Purchasers of the Series B Preferred Stock also received warrants to purchase common stock as described in Note 9.
 
The Series B Preferred Stock bears a cumulative dividend rate of 8% per annum. Accrued and unpaid dividends for Series B Preferred Stock at December 31, 2006 and 2005 total $5,232,953 and $2,787,101, respectively.
 
Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate, as defined, at any time and at the option of the holder. The initial conversion rate is one common share for each preferred share, which is subject to adjustment for certain defined equity transactions. At December 31, 2006, the Company has reserved 65,768,001 shares of common stock for the potential conversion. The Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock at the then-applicable conversion rate in the event of an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock resulting in aggregate proceeds to the Company of $50 million and a price per share of at least $2.74.
 
The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference in an amount equal to the original purchase price per share plus accumulated but unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, in the event of a liquidation, dissolution, winding-up, sale, or merger. This liquidation preference is senior to the Series A Preferred Stock and the common stock and equal to the liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Stock.

The Company recorded the Series B Preferred Stock at its fair value on the date of issuance of approximately $27,777,778, less the fair value assigned to warrants of $3,332,589, less issuance costs of $207,288. The issuance costs are accreted to the carrying value of the preferred stock up to the earliest redemption period using the effective interest method. The Company has classified the Series B Preferred Stock outside of permanent equity as a result of certain redemption features. Because detachable warrants were granted with the financing and the Series B Preferred Stock contains contingently adjustable conversion ratios, the Company evaluated the Series B Preferred Stock for potential beneficial conversion features under EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneӿcial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments. Based on the fact that the adjusted implied conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock exceeded the fair value of the common stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock converts, no beneficial conversion feature was deemed to exist. The implied conversion price was calculated by dividing the fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock, net of the fair value of the warrants, by the number of common shares into which the Series B Preferred Stock converts.
 
In conjunction with the Series B financing, the Series B Preferred stockholders were granted 15,400,000 contingent warrants to purchase common stock for $0.01. The Company deemed 10,780,000 warrants to be probable of issuance. Accordingly, 10,780,000 warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes model and were recorded as a $2,034,335 discount to the Series B Preferred Stock. This discount is being accreted through the period up to the first redemption date using the effective interest method. The fair value of the warrants were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model assuming a weighted-average volatility of approximately 60%, a risk free interest rate of 4.3%, a dividend yield of 0% and a weighted-average expected life of the warrant of 8.8 years.
 
Commencing October 7, 2009, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may require the Company to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding for an amount equal to the original purchase price plus any unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, and in preference to the Series A Preferred Stock liquidation rights.
 
The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of common shares into which its shares are convertible.

Contemporaneously with the consummation of the Nexia asset acquisition transaction (as described in Note 2), the Company sold 7,480,978 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to investors at a price of approximately $0.91 per share for net proceeds of $6,824,896. Included in these proceeds were two Canadian investors, who previously invested in Nexia, who purchased an aggregate of 3,370,479 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for net proceeds of $3,074,880. Those proceeds were used to partially fund the acquisition of the Nexia assets. In addition, the Company issued to such investors (i) warrants to acquire 2,244,296 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, which are exercisable at approximately $0.91 per share and which expire on March 10, 2008, and (ii) warrants to acquire 1,346,630 common shares, which are exercisable at $0.01 per share, subject to reduction if certain business milestones are met by the Company, as specified in the warrants and which expire in October 2014.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax asset is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating loss carryforwards are available. Management considers projected future taxable income, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and available tax planning strategies that can be implemented by the Company in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the net operating loss carryforwards are available to reduce income taxes payable, management has established a full valuation allowance.
 
The U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $33.8 million will begin to expire in various years beginning 2022. The use of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be restricted because of changes in company ownership in accordance with I.R.C. Section 382. The Canadian net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6.7 million will expire in 2015. Certain Canadian net operating losses may have an unlimited life. Additionally, despite the net operating loss carryforwards, the Company may have a future tax liability due to alternative minimum tax or state tax requirements.
 
The Company intends to permanently reinvest foreign earnings within the foreign country.

License Agreements
 
In March 2005, the Company licensed certain patent rights from a company. The license agreement required a $75,000 up front payment.

In the event that the minimum annual royalty amount of $75,000 has not been met by either the earliest of obtaining a biologics license application or three years upon execution of the license agreement, the Company will pay the difference between the minimum royalty payment and those royalties actually paid.
 
In January 2006, the Company licensed certain patent rights from a research company. The license agreement required a $50,000 up-front payment. Additionally, payments within the agreement included a sublicense fee of 20% and milestone payments of $25,000 upon the granting of a U.S. patent, $200,000 upon the initiation of certain studies or trials, and $250,000 upon BLA approval.

12. Related Party Transactions
 
The Company leases its office space from an entity that is affiliated with the organization to which the Company issued warrants for 263,296 shares of common stock in August 2003 (see Note 9). The Company paid $118,109, $78,448 and $69,333 in rent expense related to this operating lease for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

13. Medarex Collaboration (continued)
 
Under the terms of the agreement, Medarex and PharmAthene have agreed jointly to continue to investigate the potential for MDX-1303 to be used as a therapeutic for individuals with active disease as well as for prophylactic treatment of individuals exposed to anthrax. In December 2004, Medarex received a deposit from PharmAthene against potential future development activities for MDX-1303, against which Medarex must submit reports of the use of costs as they are incurred in order to take draw downs against the deposit. If the project is terminated or if development activities for MDX-1303 by Medarex are completed prior to exhaustion of the deposit, amounts remaining under the deposit are to be returned to PharmAthene. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, PharmAthene recorded the use of these funds for development activities for MDX-1303 as Research and Development operating expenses of $917,000 and $577,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, approximately $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of this deposit remained. PharmAthene is fully responsible for funding all future research and development activities that are not supported by government funds. The companies will share profits according to a pre-agreed allocation percentage.
 
14. Terminated Merger Agreement
 
On March 9, 2006, the Company entered into a term sheet for the merger of the Company with SIGA Technologies Inc. (SIGA). On September 9, 2006, the boards of directors of both companies approved the merger in a definitive agreement. In conjunction with the transaction, the Company agreed to enter into a Bridge Note Purchase Agreement providing SIGA with interim financing, subject to the execution of a definitive merger agreement, of up to $3.0 million. The Company paid $3.0 million of this interim financing to SIGA.
 
On October 4, 2006, SIGA terminated the merger agreement and subsequently repaid the $3.0 million bridge notes including interest. Additionally, the Company expensed approximately $1.5 million in merger related costs which had been recorded on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2006.
 
On December 20, 2006, the Company filed a complaint against SIGA in the Delaware Chancery Court. The Company’s complaint alleges that it has the right to license exclusively development and marketing rights for SIGA’s drug candidate, SIGA-246, pursuant to the terminated merger agreement with SIGA. The complaint further alleges that SIGA failed to negotiate in good faith the terms of such a license pursuant to the terminated merger agreement.

15. Convertible 8% Notes
 
In June 2006, certain of the Company’s investors in the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock among others and the Company entered into an agreement providing for the issuance of $9.8 million in convertible notes (the ‘‘Bridge Notes’’). The Bridge Notes are convertible (i) if the closing of the merger does not occur, into Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock at $0.91 per share plus an equal number of common shares (ii) upon the closing of the merger with SIGA and a contingent financing with gross proceeds in excess of $25 million, into the same securities sold in such financing, at a 10% price discount, or (iii) upon a separate financing into such financing securities at a 25% price discount and an equal number of common shares. The Company may have a future beneficial conversion feature based upon the pricing of future financings. Accordingly, the Company will assess whether a beneficial conversion feature exists when the contingent event occurs and record the amount, if any, at that time.
 
In August 2006, the investor in Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of PharmAthene Canada, Inc. and the Company purchased an additional $2.0 million of Bridge Notes.
 
The Company has recognized interest expense related to the Bridge Notes of approximately $538,700 through December 31, 2006.

(i) To the extent that the stockholders of Parent owning more than 5% of the outstanding Parent Common Stock exercise their conversion rights as set forth in Section 6.1(b), the number of shares of Parent Common Stock comprising the Stock Consideration shall be adjusted upward by the product of (x) the number (as a percentage) that is the difference between the percentage of Parent Common Stock that is converted and 5% and (y) 2.25 million.
 
(ii) To the extent that there are Outstanding Employee Options (as defined in clause (d) below) there shall be no increase in the number of shares of Stock Consideration being issued, but the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued at the Closing as part of the Stock Consideration shall be adjusted downward by an amount equal to the number of shares necessary to reserve for issuances under any Outstanding Employee Options in accordance with the Allocation Agreement.
 
(iii) Except for any warrants issued pursuant to a Company Subsequent Issuance (as defined in clause (c)(iv) below), the terms of which shall be subject to the provisions of clause (c)(iv) below, to the extent that there are outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (“Company Warrants”), there shall be no increase in the number of shares of Stock Consideration being issued, but the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued at the Closing as part of the Stock Consideration shall be adjusted downward by an amount equal to the number of shares necessary to reserve for issuances under any outstanding Company Warrants in accordance with the Allocation Agreement.

(iv) If, prior to the date that the Proxy Statement (as defined in Section 4.1) to be filed by Parent pursuant to Article IV hereof is approved by the SEC, Company issues additional shares of its Common Stock (or any equity or debt securities convertible into Common Stock) for cash consideration of up to $5 million (subject to the limitation that the securities of the Company issued to the purchasers (the “Subsequent Issuance Securities”) thereof will not convert into more than 625,000 shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger, which number of shares would be proportionately reduced to reflect the sale of less than $5 million) (a “Company Subsequent Issuance”), then the number of shares of Parent Common Stock comprising the Stock Consideration shall be increased by the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the Subsequent Issuance Securities will be converted in the Merger.
 
(d) Options.
 
(i) Immediately after the Effective Time, all options to purchase Company Common Stock then outstanding (individually, an “Outstanding Employee Option,” and collectively, the “Outstanding Employee Options”) under the PharmAthene, Inc. 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Option Plan”) or issued under any other agreement shall, whether vested or unvested, be assumed by Parent. Each such Outstanding Employee Option so assumed by Parent under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the Option Plan, option agreements thereunder and other relevant documentation in existence immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each such Outstanding Employee Option will be converted into an option to purchase that number of shares of Parent Common Stock calculated by multiplying such Outstanding Employee Option by the Share Exchange Ratio and rounding down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock. The per-share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Outstanding Employee Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Outstanding Employee Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Share Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent.
 
(ii) Parent shall establish a new option plan containing terms no less favorable to holders of Outstanding Employee Options as applicable to the Outstanding Employee Options and Parent shall reserve for issuance under such plan a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Outstanding Employee Options assumed by Parent under this Agreement plus an additional 3,000,000 shares.
 
(iii) Unless provided for in the option grant or Option Plan of Company, the vesting of each Outstanding Employee Option will not automatically accelerate pursuant to its terms as a result of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby. Company shall ensure that none of its Board of Directors nor any committee thereof nor any other body or person within its control shall take any discretionary action so as to cause the vesting of any Outstanding Employee Option which does not vest by its terms prior to the Effective Time.

1.10. Merger Sub Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $.0001, of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed canceled and converted into and shall represent the right to receive one share of common stock, $.01 par value, of the Surviving Corporation (the “Surviving Common Stock”).
 
1.11. Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding Section 1.9(b)(i) and (ii), any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a person who has not voted in favor of the Merger and who has properly demanded in writing appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration or be entitled to cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock or any dividends or other distributions pursuant to this Article I unless and until the holder thereof (“Dissenting Stockholder”) shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder under Section 262 of the DGCL, and any Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to shares of Company Common Stock owned by such Dissenting Stockholder. If any person who otherwise would be deemed a Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock, such shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as though such shares of Company Common Stock had been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.9 hereof. Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable law received by Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisals of Dissenting Shares, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.
 
1.12. Certain Other Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or different class by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares or a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities shall be declared with a record date within such period, or any similar event shall have occurred, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.
 
1.13. Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate for Company Capital Stock (a “Company Certificate”) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder would be entitled to receive upon surrender of such Company Certificate until such holder shall surrender such Company Certificate. Subject to the effect of applicable laws, following surrender of any such Company Certificate, there shall be paid to such holder of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in exchange therefor, without interest, (a) promptly after the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date prior to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock and (b) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock.

1.14. No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. The Merger Consideration delivered or deliverable to the holders of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms of this Article I shall be deemed to have been issued or paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Capital Stock. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Agreement, each Company Certificate representing Company Capital Stock shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender solely the Merger Consideration (and any cash to be paid pursuant hereto for fractional shares). In addition, until surrendered as contemplated by this Agreement, each PharmAthene Note shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender solely an 8% Convertible Note hereunder and no further interest shall accrue on the PharmAthene Notes after the Effective Time.
 
1.15. No Fractional Shares of Parent Common Stock.
 
(a) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock or book-entry credit of the same shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Company Certificates and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights of a stockholder of Parent.
 
(b) Cash for Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Company Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by (ii) the closing price for a share of Parent Common Stock on The American Stock Exchange LLC (the “AMEX”) on the date of the Effective Time or, if such date is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately before the date on which the Effective Time occurs.
 
1.16. No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, Company or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Person (as defined in Section 2.3(z)) in respect of any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
 
1.17. Surrender of Certificates. Upon surrender of Company Certificates at Closing, the holders of such Company Certificates shall receive in exchange therefor Merger Consideration in accordance with Schedule 1.9(b)(i) attached hereto, as amended if applicable, and the Company Certificates surrendered shall be canceled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Company Certificates shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration issuable pursuant hereto and the Allocation Agreement.

1.18. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Company Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate the Merger Consideration payable in exchange therefor; provided, however, that as a condition precedent to the issuance of such Merger Consideration, the holder of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates shall indemnify Parent against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Company Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
 
1.19. Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, and such amounts shall be delivered by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, to the applicable taxing authority.
 
1.20. Further Assurances. If at any time after the Effective Time the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances or any other acts or things are necessary, desirable or proper (a) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record of otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of either Company or Merger Sub or (b) otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation and its proper officers and directors or their designees shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either Company or Merger Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and do, in the name and on behalf of Company or Merger Sub, all such other acts and things necessary, desirable or proper to vest, perfect or confirm its rights, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of Company or Merger Sub, as applicable, and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.
 
1.21. Stock Transfer Books. The stock transfer books of Company shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Capital Stock thereafter on the records of Company. On or after the Effective Time, any Company Certificate presented to Parent for any reason shall be converted into the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which the holders thereof are entitled and any dividends or other distributions to which the holders thereof are entitled.

1.22. Tax Consequences. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the parties intend that the Merger be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code, and that this Agreement shall be, and is hereby, adopted as a plan of reorganization for purposes of Section 368 of the Code. Accordingly, unless otherwise required by Law (as defined in Section 2.3(z)), no party shall take any action that reasonably could be expected to jeopardize the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code, and the parties shall not take any position on any Tax Return (as defined herein) or in any proceeding relating to the Tax consequences of the Merger inconsistent with this Section 1.22. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the parties understand and agree that only the Stock Consideration portion of the Merger Consideration shall be deemed eligible for a “tax free” exchange under Section 368 of the Code.
 
1.23. Escrow. As the sole remedy for the indemnity obligations set forth in Article VIII hereof, at the Closing, an aggregate of 1,375,000 shares of Parent Common Stock issued or issuable as a result of the Merger (the “Escrow Shares”) shall be deposited into escrow to be held during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the one year anniversary thereof, which shares shall be allocated among the holders of Company Capital Stock and of Company Options and Company Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Allocation Agreement and the Escrow Agreement to be entered into between Parent, Stockholders’ Representative (as defined in Article VIII) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, in substantially the form of Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”).

Company will refer all customer inquiries relating to the businesses of Company to Parent or the Surviving Corporation from and after the Closing.
 
5.4. Tax-Free Reorganization Treatment. The parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and shall not knowingly take or fail to take any action which action or failure to act would jeopardize the qualification of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

5.7. Continuity of Business Enterprise. Parent will continue at least one significant historic business line of Company, or use at least a significant portion of Company’s historic business assets in a business, in each case within the meaning of Reg. §1.368-1(d), except that Parent may transfer Company’s historic business assets (i) to a corporation that is a member of Parent’s “qualified group,” within the meaning of Reg. §1.368-1(d)(4)(ii), or (ii) to a partnership if (A) one or more members of Parent’s “qualified group” have active and substantial management functions as a partner with respect to Company’s historic business or (B) members of Parent’s “qualified group” in the aggregate own an interest in the partnership representing a significant interest in Company’s historic business, in each case within the meaning of Reg. §1.368-1(d)(r)(ii).

For purposes of this Section 5.8, cash or other property paid by Company or Merger Sub to stockholders, or used by Company or Merger Sub to pay reorganization expenses, or distributed by Company or Merger Sub with respect to or in redemption of its outstanding stock, other than regular dividends paid in the ordinary course and other than cash or other property transferred by Parent to Merger Sub in pursuance of the plan of Merger immediately preceding, or in contemplation of, the Merger are included as assets held by Company and Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time.

5.9. Composition of the Board of Directors of Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for so long as at least 30% of the principal amount of 8% Convertible Notes issued as part of the Merger Consideration remains outstanding, the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of Parent shall be fixed at seven (7) and the holders of the 8% Convertible Notes shall have the right, as a separate class (and notwithstanding the existence of less than three (3) such holders at any given time), to elect three (3) members to the Board of Directors of Parent and, to the extent that the holders elect to fill committee positions, they shall have the right, subject to applicable Law and the regulations of the AMEX, to appoint two (2) of the three (3) members of each committee of the Board of Directors including the nominating and corporate governance committee and the compensation committee of Parent. The Parent Charter shall reflect such right of the holders of the 8% Convertible Notes. Parent and its Board of Directors shall include the names of the three (3) nominees of the holders of the 8% Convertible Notes in every proxy statement delivered to stockholders of Parent for any special or annual meeting of Parent’s stockholders at which directors are to be elected during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending upon the date that less than 30% of the principal amount of the 8% Convertible Notes issued as Merger Consideration remains outstanding, at which time the rights of such holders under this Section 5.9 shall terminate.

7.2. Effect of Termination.
 
(a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, the obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto, except for the obligations in the confidentiality provisions hereof, and all of the provisions of this Section 7.2, Section 7.3, Section 7.4 and Section 9.11; provided, however, that no party hereto shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its willful breach of any provision of this Agreement.
 
(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(i) and 7.1(d)(ii)(and, in the case of the failure to fulfill conditions, such failure is within Company’s control which shall be deemed to include a failure of the Company, its stockholders or holders of PharmAthene Notes to agree upon the terms of any re-allocation of the Merger Consideration which may be made necessary as a result of a Company Subsequent Issuance or an issuance in connection with any financing transaction with General Electric Capital Corp.), then Company shall be obligated to pay to Parent, within five (5) business days of such termination, the sum of $250,000 (the “Termination Fee”) in cash.
 

-67-



 
(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i) through (v)(and, in the case of the failure to fulfill conditions, such failure is within Parent’s control), then Parent shall be obligated to pay to Company, within five (5) business days of such termination, the Termination Fee, in cash, or such lesser amount (in the event that Parent does not have $250,000 in available funds outside of the Trust Fund) as shall equal all remaining available funds of Parent which are not a part of the Trust Fund.
 
7.3. Trust Fund Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of Parent, dated July 28, 2005 (the “Prospectus”), Company understands that, except for a portion of the interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Fund, Parent may disburse monies from the Trust Fund only: (a) to its public stockholders in the event of the redemption of their shares or the dissolution and liquidation of Parent, (b) to Parent and Maxim Group LLC (with respect to Maxim Group LLC’s deferred underwriting compensation only) after Parent consummates a business combination (as described in the Prospectus) or (c) as consideration to the sellers of a target business with which Parent completes a business combination.
 
Company agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement (including the termination provisions of this Article VII), Company does not now have, and shall not at any time prior to the Closing have, any claim to, or make any claim against, the Trust Fund, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, the business relationship between Company, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, this Agreement, or any other agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to in this Section 7.3 as the “Claims”). Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, Company hereby irrevocably waives any Claim they may have, now or in the future (in each case, however, prior to the consummation of a business combination), and will not seek recourse against, the Trust Fund for any reason whatsoever in respect thereof. In the event that Company commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Parent, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Fund or the public stockholders of Parent, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, Parent shall be entitled to recover from Company the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event Parent prevails in such action or proceeding.

ARTICLE VIII
 
REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF AGREEMENT
 
8.1. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder (unless the non-breaching party had received from the breaching party written notice of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty prior to the time of Closing and expressly waived in writing such breach or misrepresentation) and continue in full force and effect until a period of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date (“Survival Period”).
 
8.2. Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of Parent. In the event that Company violates, misrepresents or breaches (or in the event any third party alleges facts that are ultimately proven or conceded to represent a Company violation, misrepresentation or breach) any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein including, without limitation, the covenants and agreements of Company and PA Management Team to provide Company Information contained in Section 4.1(b) hereof and, if there is an applicable Survival Period pursuant to Section 8.1 above, provided that the Parent Representative makes a written claim for indemnification against Company pursuant to Section 8.6 below within the Survival Period, then the Indemnifying Stockholders (as defined in Article X) agree to indemnify Parent from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences (as defined in Article X) that Parent may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including any Adverse Consequences Parent may suffer after the end of any applicable Survival Period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the violation, misrepresentation or breach. Any liability incurred by the Indemnifying Stockholders pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII shall be limited to, and paid by, the Indemnifying Stockholders to Parent by return for cancellation of the Escrow Shares in accordance with Section 8.6 hereof which shall represent the sole and exclusive source for payment of any indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Stockholders. All determinations relating to the submission of claims for the benefit of Parent hereunder shall be determined, in good faith, solely by the nominees of Parent to the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding Company’s disclosure in Item 2 of Section 2.3(h)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Section 2.3(h) disclosure”), Parent shall have the right to indemnification under this Article VIII, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, meeting the indemnification threshold set forth in Section 8.7 and the limitations set forth in Section 8.5), with respect to any Adverse Consequences suffered by Parent as a result of any claims relating to such Section 2.3(h) disclosure which claims are not resolved prior to Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the resolution of any claims relating to the Section 2.3(h) disclosure occurring prior to Closing shall be within the sole discretion of Company and shall in no way effect the Merger Consideration or be applicable towards the indemnification threshold or otherwise be subject to indemnification.
 
8.3. Matters Involving Third Parties.
 
(a) If any third party shall notify any party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article VIII, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) business days after receiving notice of the Third Party Claim) notify each Indemnifying Party and the Escrow Agent thereof in writing (an “Indemnification Notice”); provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.
 

-69-



 
(b) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) business days (or earlier in the event the underlying Third Party claim requires action) after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedent or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.
 
(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.3(b) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably) and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably).
 
(d) In the event that any of the conditions in Section 8.3(b) above fail to be complied with, however, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (ii) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article VIII.
 

-70-



 
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VIII, Parent, Company and Merger Sub shall not settle and pay any Third Party Claim unless and until Parent shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative to such settlement which consent the Stockholders’ Representative shall not unreasonably withhold or delay.
 
8.4. Determination of Adverse Consequences. All claims for indemnification payments under this Article VIII shall be made in good faith and although a claim may be made hereunder, no payments shall be made for the benefit of the Indemnified Party until the Indemnified Party has incurred actual out-of pocket expenses. In the event that Parent has made a claim for indemnification prior to the termination of any applicable Survival Period, no Escrow Shares held in escrow pursuant to this Article VIII and the Escrow Agreement shall be released from the escrow until such time as the claim has been resolved unless the Survival Period shall have expired after the making of such claim but before such claim is fully resolved, in which case the Escrow Shares in excess of the Fair Market Value of the amount of Adverse Consequence shall be released from Escrow.
 
8.5. Escrow of Shares by Indemnifying Stockholders. As the sole and exclusive source for the payment of the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Stockholders under this Article VIII, Company and the Indemnifying Stockholders hereby authorize Parent to withhold, from the delivery of the Stock Consideration otherwise deliverable to the Indemnifying Stockholders as part of the Merger Consideration, for delivery into escrow, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, 1,375,000 shares of Parent Common Stock which shall be allocated among the Indemnifying Stockholders in accordance with the relative proportions established by the Allocation Agreement as provided to Parent in a certificate executed and delivered by Company at Closing (the “Company Closing Certificate”).
 
(a) Escrow Shares. The Escrow Shares shall be withheld from delivery to the Indemnifying Stockholders and segregated from shares issuable upon the exercise of Company Options and Company Warrants at Closing and placed in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Shares shall be registered in the name of each Indemnifying Stockholder in the amounts set forth on the Company Closing Certificate, and shall be held by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”), and shall constitute the escrow fund (the “Escrow Fund”) governed by the terms of the Escrow Agreement. In the event that Parent issues any additional shares of Parent Common Stock to the Indemnifying Stockholders for any reason, such additional shares shall be issued in the name of such Indemnifying Stockholders as applicable and shall not be subject to escrow. Once released from the Escrow Fund, shares of Parent Common Stock shall cease to be Escrow Shares.
 
(b) Payment of Dividends; Voting. Any cash dividends, dividends payable in securities, or other distributions of any kind made in respect of the Escrow Shares will be delivered promptly to the Indemnifying Stockholders. The Indemnifying Stockholders (other than the holders of Company Options and Company Warrants) shall be entitled to vote the Escrow Shares on any matters to come before the stockholders of Parent, with each Indemnifying Stockholder being entitled to direct the voting of its or his Escrow Shares listed on the Company Closing Certificate.
 

-71-



 
(c) Distribution of Escrow Shares. At the times provided for in Section 8.5(e), the Escrow Shares shall be released to the Indemnifying Stockholders (and to Parent on behalf of holders of Company Options and Company Warrants) in accordance with the Company Closing Certificate unless the Stockholders’ Representative shall have instructed the Escrow Agent otherwise in writing, in which case the Escrow Agent and the Parent shall be entitled to rely upon such instructions. Parent will take such action as may be necessary to cause such certificates to be issued in the names of the appropriate persons. Certificates representing Escrow Shares so issued that are subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws will bear a legend to that effect. No fractional shares shall be released and delivered from the Escrow Fund to the Indemnifying Stockholders and all fractional shares shall be rounded to the nearest whole share.
 
(d) Assignability. No Escrow Shares or any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, sold, assigned or transferred, including by operation of law, by any Indemnifying Stockholders or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of any such stockholder, prior to the delivery to such Indemnifying Stockholders of its or his pro rata portion of the Escrow Fund by the Escrow Agent as provided herein.
 
(e) Release from Escrow Fund. Within five (5) business days following expiration of the Survival Period (the “Release Date”), the Escrow Shares will be released from the Escrow Fund to the Indemnifying Stockholders less the number of Escrow Shares, if any, with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of Adverse Consequences set forth in any Indemnification Notice from Parent with respect to any pending but unresolved claim for indemnification. Prior to the Release Date, the Parent Representative and the Stockholder Representative shall issue to the Escrow Agent a certificate executed by each of them instructing the Escrow Agent to release such number of Escrow Shares determined in accordance with this Section 8.5(e). Any Escrow Shares retained in the Escrow Fund as a result of the immediately preceding sentence shall be released to the Indemnifying Stockholders or Parent, as appropriate, promptly upon resolution of the related claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article VIII. For purposes of this Article VIII, the “Fair Market Value” shall be the average reported last sales price for the ten (10) trading days ending on the last day prior to the date that the claim for indemnification is publicly disclosed (or if there is no public disclosure, the date on which the Indemnification Notice is received) and the ten (10) trading days after such date; provided, however, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Parent Representative acting together shall have the right to assign a different value to the Escrow Shares in order to settle or pay any Third Party Claim in the event the third party claimant is willing to accept the Escrow Shares in full or partial settlement therefor.
 
(f) Stockholders’ Representative and Parent Representative.
 
(i) MPM BioVentures III-QP, L.P. is hereby constituted and appointed jointly as the Stockholders’ Representative for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Stockholders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize delivery to Parent of shares of Parent Common Stock from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of indemnification claims by Parent, to object to such deliveries, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to such claims (including Third Party Claims), and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Such agency may be changed by from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice, executed by the Stockholders’ Representative, to the Parent Representative. No bond shall be required of the Stockholders’ Representative, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall receive no compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholders’ Representative shall constitute notice to or from Company and each of the Indemnifying Stockholders.
 

-72-



 
(ii) The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholders’ Representative while acting in good faith and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Indemnifying Stockholders shall severally indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative and hold him harmless against any loss, liability, or expense (including legal and accounting fees) incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholders’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder.
 
(iii) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative shall constitute a decision of all Indemnifying Stockholders for whom Escrow Shares otherwise issuable to them are deposited in escrow and shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon each such Indemnifying Stockholder, and Parent may rely upon any decision, act, consent, or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Indemnifying Stockholder. The Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right to consent to the use of the Escrow Shares to settle any claims made hereunder. For purposes of clarification, in connection with the settlement or payment of any claims for indemnification hereunder, the “Fair Market Value” of the Escrow Shares as defined under this Article VIII, shall not be binding upon the Parent or Stockholders’ Representative if they mutually agree upon any value other than Fair Market Value and shall also have the discretion to mutually agree to use the Escrow Shares to settle or pay any Third Party Claims.
 
(iv) John Pappajohn is hereby constituted and appointed jointly as the Parent Representative for and on behalf of the Parent to give and receive notices and communications, to negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to such claims (including Third Party Claims), and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Parent Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Such agency may be changed by from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice, executed by the Parent Representative, to the Stockholders’ Representative. No bond shall be required of the Parent Representative, and the Parent Representative shall receive no compensation for his services. Notices or communications to or from the Parent Representative shall constitute notice to or from Parent.
 

-73-



 
(v) The Parent Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder while acting in good faith and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Parent shall indemnify the Parent Representative and hold him harmless against any loss, liability, or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Parent Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder.
 
(vi) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Parent Representative shall constitute a decision of Parent under this Article VIII and shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon Parent. The Stockholders’ Representative and the Indemnifying Stockholders may rely upon any decision, act, consent, or instruction of the Parent Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Parent. The Parent Representative shall have the right to consent to the use of the Escrow Shares to settle any claim for which Parent is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII. For purposes of clarification, in connection with the settlement or payment of any claims for indemnification hereunder, the “Fair Market Value” of the Escrow Shares as defined under this Article VIII, shall not be binding upon the Parent Representative or Stockholders’ Representative if they mutually agree upon any value other than Fair Market Value and shall also have the discretion to mutually agree to use the Escrow Shares to settle or pay any Third Party Claims.
 
8.6. Determination/Resolution of Claims.
 
(a) If an Indemnified Party wishes to make a claim for indemnification against an Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Party shall deliver the Indemnification Notice to the Indemnifying Party and to the Escrow Agent on or before the expiration of the Survival Period. Such Indemnification Notice shall contain the amount of Adverse Consequences for which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification and shall set forth the reasons therefore in reasonable detail.
 
(b) If Parent asserts a claim upon the Escrow Fund by delivering an Indemnification Notice to the Stockholders’ Representative and the Escrow Agent on or before the end of the Survival Period, the Escrow Agent shall retain in the Escrow Fund such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as shall be determined in accordance with Section 8.5(e) above.
 

-74-



 
(c) Unless the Stockholders’ Representative shall notify Parent in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of an Indemnification Notice that the Stockholders’ Representative objects to any claim for indemnification set forth therein, which notice shall include a reasonable explanation of the basis for such objection, then such indemnification claim shall be deemed to be accepted by the Stockholders’ Representative and the parties shall issue to the Escrow Agent a certificate executed by the Parent Representative and the Stockholders’ Representative indicating what number of Escrow Shares are to be released to Parent. If the Stockholders’ Representative shall timely notify Parent in writing that it objects to any claim for indemnification made in such an Indemnification Notice, Parent shall have fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice to respond in a written statement to such objection. If after thirty (30) days following receipt of Parent’s written statement, there remains a dispute as to any indemnification claims set forth in the Indemnification Notice, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Parent Representative shall attempt in good faith for sixty (60) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Stockholders’ Representative and the Parent Representative should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties. Based upon the memorandum, the parties shall issue to the Escrow Agent a certificate executed by the Parent Representative and the Stockholders’ Representative indicating what number of Escrow Shares are to be released to Parent. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on any such certificate and disburse Escrow Shares from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms thereof.
 
(d) If the Stockholders’ Representative and the Parent Representative cannot resolve a dispute during the sixty-day period (or such longer period as the parties may agree to in writing), then such dispute shall be submitted (and either party may submit such dispute) for arbitration before a single arbitrator in Wilmington, Delaware, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The Stockholders’ Representative and the Parent Representative shall attempt to agree upon an arbitrator. In the event that the Stockholders’ Representative and the Parent Representative are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within ten (10) days after the date on which the disputed matter may, under this Agreement, be submitted to arbitration, then either the Stockholders’ Representative or the Parent Representative, upon written notice to the other, may apply for appointment of such arbitrator by the American Arbitration Association. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel used by it and 50% of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and of the other expenses associated with the arbitration. The arbitrator shall render his decision within ninety (90) days after his appointment, such decision shall be in writing and shall be final and conclusive on the parties. The decision shall be submitted to the Escrow Agent which shall act in accordance therewith.
 
8.7. Indemnification Threshold. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Person or Party shall have any obligation to indemnify Parent or Company, as the case may be, from and against any Adverse Consequences caused proximately by the breach of any representation or warranty of Parent or Company hereunder, as the case may be, until Parent or Company, as the case may be, has suffered Adverse Consequences by reason of all such breaches (or alleged breaches) in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate, with no single Adverse Consequence being valued at less than $50,000.
 

-75-



 
8.8. Other Indemnification Provisions.

The Board may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of the Plan and such other terms and conditions as it may determine, grant a Restricted Stock Award to Eligible Employees, Consultants or Eligible Directors.

Section 6.2 Conditions of Restricted Stock Awards. The grant of a Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to the following:
 
(a) Restriction Period. Restricted Stock Awards granted to an Eligible Employee shall require the holder to remain in the employment of the Company, a Subsidiary, or an Affiliated Entity for a prescribed period. Restricted Stock Awards granted to Consultants or Eligible Directors shall require the holder to provide continued services to the Company for a period of time. These employment and service requirements are collectively referred to as a “Restriction Period”. The Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall determine the Restriction Period or Periods which shall apply to the shares of Common Stock covered by each Restricted Stock Award or portion thereof. In addition to any time vesting conditions determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, Restricted Stock Awards may be subject to the achievement by the Company of specified performance criteria based upon the Company’s achievement of all or any of the operational, financial or stock performance criteria set forth on Exhibit A annexed hereto, as may from time to time be established by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be. At the end of the Restriction Period, assuming the fulfillment of any other specified vesting conditions, the restrictions imposed by the Board or the Committee, as the case may be shall lapse with respect to the shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Award or portion thereof. In addition to acceleration of vesting upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event as provided in Section 11.5, the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting of a Restricted Stock Award in the case of the death, Disability or Retirement of the Participant who is an Eligible Employee or resignation of a Participant who is a Consultants or an Eligible Director.
 

 
(b) Restrictions. The holder of a Restricted Stock Award may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Award during the applicable Restriction Period. The Board shall impose such other restrictions and conditions on any shares of Common Stock covered by a Restricted Stock Award as it may deem advisable including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable Federal or state securities laws, and may legend the certificates representing Restricted Stock to give appropriate notice of such restrictions.
 
(c) Rights as Stockholders. During any Restriction Period, the Board may, in its discretion, grant to the holder of a Restricted Stock Award all or any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares, including, but not by way of limitation, the right to vote such shares and to receive dividends. If any dividends or other distributions are paid in shares of Common Stock, all such shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.

Section 7.1 Grant of SARs. The Board may from time to time, in its sole discretion, subject to the provisions of the Plan and subject to other terms and conditions as the Board may determine, grant a SAR to any Eligible Employee, Consultant or Eligible Director.

Upon the Participant’s election to exercise one of these Awards, the other tandem Award is automatically terminated. SARs may also be granted as an independent Award separate from an Option. Each grant of a SAR shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement executed by the Company and the Participant and shall contain such terms and conditions and be in such form as the Board may from time to time approve, subject to the requirements of the Plan.

Section 7.3 Restrictions. In the event a SAR is granted in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option, the Board shall subject the SAR to restrictions necessary to ensure satisfaction of the requirements under Section 422 of the Code. In the case of a SAR granted in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option to an Eligible Employee who owns more than 10% of the combined voting power of the Company or its Subsidiaries on the date of such grant, the amount payable with respect to each SAR shall be equal in value to the applicable percentage of the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise date over the exercise price of the SAR, which exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the SAR is granted.

In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, or any stock or other securities into which the Common Stock shall have been changed or for which it shall have been exchanged, then if the Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the shares available under and subject to the Plan, or in any Award, theretofore granted, such adjustments shall be made in accordance with such determination, except that no adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan or to which any Award relates that would otherwise be required shall be made unless and until such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan or to which any Award relates immediately prior to the making of such adjustment (the “Minimum Adjustment”). Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment together with other adjustments required by this Article X and not previously made would result in a Minimum Adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustment required by this Article X which otherwise would not result in a Minimum Adjustment shall be made with respect to shares of Common Stock relating to any Award immediately prior to exercise, payment or settlement of such Award. No fractional shares of Common Stock or units of other securities shall be issued pursuant to any such adjustment, and any fractions resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated in each case by rounding downward to the nearest whole share.
 
ARTICLE XI
GENERAL
 
Section 11.1 Amendment or Termination of Plan. The Board may alter, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time provided, however, that it may not, without stockholder approval, adopt any amendment which would (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available under the Plan (except by operation of Article X), (ii) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan, or (iii) materially increase the benefits to Participants provided by the Plan.
 
Section 11.2 Termination of Employment; Termination of Service. If an Eligible Employee’s employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliated Entity terminates as a result of death, Disability or Retirement, the Eligible Employee (or personal representative in the case of death) shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of the shares subject to any (i) vested Incentive Stock Option for a period of up to three months from such date of termination (one year in the case of death or Disability (as defined above) in lieu of the three-month period), and (ii) vested Nonqualified Stock Option during the remaining term of the Option. If an Eligible Employee’s employment terminates for any other reason, the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of the shares subject to any vested Option for a period of up to three months from such date of termination. In no event shall any Option be exercisable past the term of the Option. The Board may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of unvested Options in the event of termination of employment of any Participant.
 

 
In the event a Consultant ceases to provide services to the Company or an Eligible Director terminates service as a director of the Company, the unvested portion of any Award shall be forfeited unless otherwise accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Eligible Director’s Award Agreement or by the Board. The Consultant or Eligible Director shall have a period of three years following the date he ceases to provide consulting services or ceases to be a director, as applicable, to exercise any Nonqualified Stock Options which are otherwise exercisable on his date of termination of service.
 
Section 11.3 Limited Transferability - Options. The Board may, in its discretion, authorize all or a portion of the Nonqualified Stock Options granted under this Plan to be on terms which permit transfer by the Participant to (i) the ex-spouse of the Participant pursuant to the terms of a domestic relations order, (ii) the spouse, children or grandchildren of the Participant (“Immediate Family Members”), (iii) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of such Immediate Family Members, or (iv) a partnership or limited liability company in which such Immediate Family Members are the only partners or members. In addition, there may be no consideration for any such transfer. The Award Agreement pursuant to which such Nonqualified Stock Options are granted expressly provide for transferability in a manner consistent with this paragraph. Subsequent transfers of transferred Nonqualified Stock Options shall be prohibited except as set forth below in this Section 11.3. Following transfer, any such Nonqualified Stock Options shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer, provided that for purposes of Section 11.2 hereof the term “Participant” shall be deemed to refer to the transferee. The events of termination of employment of Section 11.2 hereof shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Participant, following which the Nonqualified Stock Options shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent, and for the periods specified in Section 11.2 hereof. No transfer pursuant to this Section 11.3 shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice of such transfer together with such other documents regarding the transfer as the Board shall request. With the exception of a transfer in compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.3, all other types of Awards authorized under this Plan shall be transferable only by will or the laws of descent and distribution; however, no such transfer shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Board has been furnished with written notice of such transfer and an authenticated copy of the will and/or such other evidence as the Board may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee of the terms and conditions of such Award.
 
Section 11.4 Withholding Taxes. Unless otherwise paid by the Participant, the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliated Entities shall be entitled to deduct from any payment under the Plan, regardless of the form of such payment, the amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment or may require the Participant to pay to it such tax prior to and as a condition of the making of such payment. In accordance with any applicable administrative guidelines it establishes, the Board may allow a Participant to pay the amount of taxes required by law to be withheld from an Award by (i) directing the Company to withhold from any payment of the Award a number of shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the amount of the required withholding taxes or (ii) delivering to the Company previously owned shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the amount of the required withholding taxes. However, any payment made by the Participant pursuant to either of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall not be permitted if it would result in an adverse accounting charge with respect to such shares used to pay such taxes unless otherwise approved by the Board.
 

 
Section 11.5 Change of Control. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, Awards granted under the Plan to any Eligible Employee, Consultant or Eligible Director shall be immediately vested, fully earned and exercisable upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event unless the terms of the Award state otherwise.
 
Section 11.6 Amendments to Awards. Subject to the limitations of Article IV, such as the prohibition on repricing of Options, the Board may at any time unilaterally amend the terms of any Award Agreement, whether or not presently exercisable or vested, to the extent it deems appropriate. However, amendments which are adverse to the Participant shall require the Participant’s consent.
 
Section 11.7 Registration; Regulatory Approval. Following approval of the Plan by the stockholders of the Company as provided in Section 1.2 of the Plan, the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and keep continuously effective, a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to Awards hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Plan to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under this Plan prior to the obtaining of any approval from, or satisfaction of any waiting period or other condition imposed by, any governmental agency which the Board shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable.
 
Section 11.8 Right to Continued Employment. Participation in the Plan shall not give any Eligible Employee any right to remain in the employ of the Company, any Subsidiary, or any Affiliated Entity. The Company or, in the case of employment with a Subsidiary or an Affiliated Entity, the Subsidiary or Affiliated Entity reserves the right to terminate any Eligible Employee at any time. Further, the adoption of this Plan shall not be deemed to give any Eligible Employee or any other individual any right to be selected as a Participant or to be granted an Award.
 
Section 11.9 Reliance on Reports. Each member of the Board and each member of the Board shall be fully justified in relying or acting in good faith upon any report made by the independent public accountants of the Company and its Subsidiaries and upon any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any person or persons other than himself or herself. In no event shall any person who is or shall have been a member of the Board be liable for any determination made or other action taken or any omission to act in reliance upon any such report or information or for any action taken, including the furnishing of information, or failure to act, if in good faith.
 
Section 11.10 Construction. Masculine pronouns and other words of masculine gender shall refer to both men and women. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for the convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.
 

 
Section 11.11 Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware except as superseded by applicable Federal law.
 
Section 11.12 Other Laws. The Board may refuse to issue or transfer any shares of Common Stock or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation or entitle the Company to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary.
 
Section 11.13 No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor an Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that a Participant acquires the right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any general unsecured creditor of the Company.

(the “Merger”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 19, 2007, by and among HAQ, Merger Sub and PharmAthene, and the transactions contemplated thereby, whereby PharmAthene will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of HAQ and the stockholders, optionholders, warrantholders and noteholders of PharmAthene shall receive the following consideration:
 
i. an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of HAQ common stock;

If you exercise your conversion rights, then you will be exchanging your shares of our common stock for cash and you will no longer own these shares.
