CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report, and the information incorporated by reference in it, include “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”). Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this report may include, for example, statements about our:
 
 
·
ability to complete our initial business combination;

 
·
success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following our initial business combination;

 
·
officers and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business or in approving our initial business combination, as a result of which they would then receive expense reimbursements;

 
·
potential ability to obtain additional financing to complete a business combination;

 
·
ability of our officers and directors to generate a number of potential investment opportunities;

 
·
potential change in control if we acquire one or more target businesses for stock;
 
 
·
our public securities’ potential liquidity and trading; listing or delisting of our securities from the American Stock Exchange or the ability to have our securities listed on the American Stock Exchange following our initial business combination;

 
·
use of proceeds not held in the trust account or available to us from interest income on the trust account balance; or

 
·
financial performance.

The forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference in this report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors.” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

References in this report to “we,” “us” or “our company” refer to SP Acquisition Holdings, Inc. References to “public stockholders” refer to purchasers of our securities by persons other than our founders in, or subsequent to, our initial public offering.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE A — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
SP Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (a corporation in the development stage) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 14, 2007. The Company was formed to acquire one or more businesses or assets through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other similar business combination (“Business Combination”). The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated operating revenues to date. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination. Since the completion of its initial public offering, the Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents.
 
The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting By Development Stage Enterprises,” and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies.
 
The Company was initially formed and capitalized through the sale of founder’s units to a related entity, SP Acq LLC (See Note D).
 
The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Offering”) was declared effective on October 10, 2007. The Company consummated the Offering on October 16, 2007 and recorded proceeds of $370,969,951, net of the underwriters’ discount of $28,000,000 and offering costs of $1,030,049. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering, the Company consummated the private sale of 7,000,000 warrants to SP Acq LLC at a price of $1 per warrant (an aggregate purchase price of $7,000,000) (see Note D).
 
On October 31, 2007, the underwriters exercised a portion and terminated the balance of their over allotment option granted in connection with the initial public offering and consummated the purchase of an additional 3,289,600 units at a price of $10.00 per unit, for gross proceeds of $32,896,000 or net proceeds of $30,527,725, net of the underwriters’ discount of $2,302,720 and offering costs of $65,555.
 
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
 
A total of $425,909,120 (or approximately $9.84 per share), including $371,000,000 of the net proceeds from the Offering, $7,000,000 from the sale of warrants to the founding shareholders (see Note D), $30,593,280 of net proceeds of the over allotment issuance and $17,315,840 of deferred underwriting discounts, has been placed in a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as trustee (the “Trust”) which is to be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 having a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Except for up to $3,500,000 of Trust interest income to be released to the Company to fund expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements, and any additional amounts needed to pay income taxes on the Trust earnings, the proceeds held in the Trust will not be released from the Trust until the earlier of the completion of the Company’s Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. As of March 31, 2009, the balance in the Trust account was $427,094,589, which includes accrued interest receivable and overpayments of taxes due to the Trust. Through March 31, 2009, the Trust has released $3,500,000 of interest income to the Company and the Company had paid a total of $5,300,500 in taxes, of which $5,300,500 has been reimbursed by the Trust.

The placing of funds in the Trust may not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although the Company will seek to have all vendors and service providers (which would include any third parties we engaged to assist us in any way in connection with our search for a target business) and prospective target businesses execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements.
 
SP Acq LLC has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent claims by third parties reduce the amounts in the Trust available for payment to our stockholders in the event of a liquidation and the claims are made by a vendor for services rendered, or products sold, to us, or by a prospective target business. A “vendor” refers to a third party that enters into an agreement with us to provide goods or services to us. However, the agreement entered into by SP Acq LLC specifically provides for two exceptions to the indemnity given: there will be no liability (1) as to any claimed amounts owed to a third party who executed a legally enforceable waiver, or (2) as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Furthermore, there could be claims from parties other than vendors, third parties with which we entered into a contractual relationship or target businesses that would not be covered by the indemnity from SP Acq LLC, such as shareholders and other claimants who are not parties in contract with us who file a claim for damages against us.
 
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 30% or more of the outstanding stock (excluding, for this purpose, those shares of common stock issued prior to the Offering) vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated. Public stockholders voting against a Business Combination will be entitled to convert their stock to cash at a per share conversion price equal to the aggregate amount then in the Trust (before payment of deferred underwriters fees and including interest, net of any income taxes payable on such interest, which shall be paid from the Trust, and net of interest income of up to $3.5 million earned on the Trust balance previously released to the Company to fund working capital requirements), if the Business Combination is approved and consummated. However, voting against the Business Combination alone will not result in election to exercise a stockholder’s conversion rights. A stockholder must also affirmatively exercise such conversion rights at or prior to the time the Business Combination is voted upon by the stockholders. All of the Company’s stockholders prior to the Offering, and all of the officers and directors of the Company have agreed to vote all of the shares of the Company stock held by them that they acquired prior to the consummation of the offering in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other stockholders of the Company.
 
We will seek to consummate a Business Combination until October 10, 2009.   If we are unable to complete a Business Combination, the proceeds held in the Trust, including the unpaid portion of the underwriters’ commission (See Note D) will be distributed to the Company’s public stockholders (excluding SP Acq LLC, Steel Partners II, L.P. and Anthony Bergamo, Ronald LaBow, Howard M. Lorber, Leonard Toboroff and S. Nicholas Walker, each a director of the Company, to the extent of their pre-Offering stock holdings).
 
These unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

 The condensed balance sheet information as of December 31, 2008 was derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.  These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 10, 2009 and amended on Form 10-K/A, filed on April 24, 2009. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited interim condensed financial statements are consistent with those described in the audited financial statements included in the Company’s December 31, 2008 Form 10-K as amended.

NOTE B — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
1.    Development Stage Company:
 
The Company complies with the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.”
 
As indicated in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements, the Company has incurred substantial organizational, legal, accounting and offering costs in the pursuit of its financing plans and expects to incur additional costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had cash on hand of $1,971,909 as well as $426,460,141 of cash and cash equivalents in the Trust. Under terms of the investment management trust agreement, up to $3,500,000 of interest may be released to the Company in such amounts and such intervals as we request, subject to availability. At March 31, 2009, $3,500,000 of Trust interest has been released to the Company.  Management has reviewed its cash requirements as of March 31, 2009 and believes that its cash on hand, along with the funds available to it from the interest income from the Trust for the payment of income tax liabilities on Trust earnings (See Note A) is sufficient to cover its expenses for the next twelve months.
 
There is no assurance that the Company’s plan to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
 
2.    Cash and Cash Equivalents:
 
The Company considers investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
3.    Common Stock and Unit Dividends:
 
Each share of common stock has one vote. As discussed in Note F, on August 8, 2007, the Company declared a unit dividend of 0.15 units for each unit outstanding and on September 4, 2007 declared a unit dividend of one third of a unit for each unit outstanding. All of the unit holders agreed to transfer their units due them with respect to these dividends to SP Acq LLC. Such stock dividends are presented as if they were stock splits and are presented retroactively for each period presented. All unit amounts outstanding reflect such dividends, except for weighted average shares outstanding as discussed in Note B-4.
 
4.    Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share:
 
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”). In accordance with SFAS No. 128, earnings per common share amounts (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Common shares subject to possible conversion of 12,986,879 shares have been excluded from the calculation of basic earnings per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata shares of the trust earnings. Such earnings are deducted from earnings available to common stockholders. Earnings per common share amounts, assuming dilution (“Diluted EPS”), gives effect to dilutive options, warrants and other potential common stock outstanding during the period. SFAS No. 128 requires the presentation of both Basic EPS and Diluted EPS on the face of the statements of operations. The effect of the 61,112,000 outstanding Warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering and the Private Placement described in Note A has not been considered in the diluted earnings per share calculation since the exercise of the Warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events, and therefore, not includable in the calculation of diluted earning per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128.

 
10
 
 
5.         Concentration of Credit Risk:
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times, exceeds the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation limits.  Management believes the risk of loss to be minimal.
 
6.         Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
 
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under SFAS No. 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” approximate the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet because of their short-term maturities.
  
7.    Cash and Cash Equivalents-Restricted:
 
Pursuant to the terms of the investment management trust agreement, the Company is permitted to have released from the Trust account, interest income to pay income taxes on interest income earned on the Trust account balance.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company transferred excess amounts from the Trust account totaling $429,294 for the payment of Federal estimated taxes due on January 15, 2009.  These amounts were reflected as cash and cash equivalents, restricted in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2008.
 
8.         Trust Account-Restricted:
 
The Company considers the restricted portion of the funds held in the Trust Account to be a non-current asset. A current asset is one that is reasonably expected to be used to pay current liabilities, such as accounts payable or short-term debt or to pay current operating expenses, or will be used to acquire other current assets. Since the acquisition of a business is principally considered to be for a long-term purpose, with long-term assets such as property and tangibles typically being a major part of the acquired assets, the Company has reported the funds anticipated to be used in the acquisition as a non-current asset.
 
As discussed in Note A, the Trust Account is invested in T Bills with a 60 day maturity as of March 31, 2009.

 
11
 

9.         Income Taxes:
 
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
On February 14, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process 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 derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.
 
10.         Share-Based Compensation:
 
The Company accounts for stock options and warrants using the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “ Share-Based Payment ”, (“SFAS 123(R)”). SFAS 123(R) addresses all forms of share based compensation awards including shares issued under employment stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. Under SFAS 123 (R), share based payment awards will be measured at fair value on the awards grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will be reflected as compensation expense in the financial statements.

NOTE C — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 
On October 16, 2007, the Company sold to the public an aggregate of 40,000,000 units at a price of $10.00. Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant. On October 31, 2007, the underwriters exercised a portion and cancelled the balance of their over-allotment option granted in connection with the Offering and consummated the sale of an additional 3,289,600 units at a price of $10.00 per unit.
 
The Company has incurred an underwriters’ fee of 7% of the gross offering proceeds in connection with the completion of the Offering and the over-allotment. Of this fee, $12,000,000 and $986,880 were paid at the closing of the Offering and over-allotment on October 16, 2007 and October 31, 2007, respectively, and $17,315,840 is held in the Trust and will be paid to the underwriters in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination. As of March 31, 2009, the remaining underwriting commitment of $17,315,840 is included as Other payables - deferred underwriters’ fee.
 
NOTE D — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
SP Acq LLC purchased 11,500,000 of the Company’s founder’s units subject to the terms of the Founder’s Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated March 30, 2007 and the Founders Unit Adjustment Agreement (the “Adjustment Agreement”) dated August 8, 2007, each consisting of one common share and one warrant to purchase a common share, for a price of $25,000 in a private placement. The units are identical to those sold in the Offering, except that SP Acq LLC, Steel Partners II, L.P., and Messrs. Bergamo, LaBow, Lorber, Toboroff and Walker agreed to vote their founder’s shares in the same manner as a majority of the public stockholders who vote at the special or annual meeting called for the purpose of approving the Company’s Business Combination. As a result, they will not be able to exercise conversion rights with respect to the founder’s shares if the Company’s Business Combination is approved by a majority of its public stockholders. The founder’s shares included therein will not participate with the common stock included in the units sold in the Offering in any liquidating distribution. The founder’s units, including the founder’s shares and initial founder’s warrants, may not be sold or transferred until at least one year after the completion of a Business Combination.

 
12
 

The agreements referred to above provide for the Founders to maintain a 20% interest in the Company after taking into consideration the number of units ultimately sold in the initial public offering (“IPO”).  In order for the Founders to hold the number of shares necessary to maintain a 20% interest in the Company, 677,600 units were forfeited and cancelled on the date of the IPO, leaving the Founders with 10,822,400 or 20% of the 54,112,000 units outstanding at that time.  The Company accounted for the transaction employing the price associated with the original sale because in the opinion of management, the adjustment in the number of shares was contemplated in the Purchase Agreement and Adjustment Agreement entered into prior to the IPO.
 
The Company has issued warrants to purchase 11,500,000 common shares at an exercise price of $7.50 per share as part of the founder’s units in connection with its initial capitalization on March 22, 2007 (“initial founder’s warrants”). On October 31, 2007, in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, 677,600 initial founder’s warrants were forfeited to the Company and cancelled.
 
Additionally, pursuant to the Director’s Purchase Agreement dated as of June 25, 2007, SP Acq LLC has sold a total of 500,000 founder’s units to certain directors of the Company.
 
SP Acq LLC, pursuant to an agreement dated March 22, 2007, also sold to its affiliate Steel Partners II, L.P. a portion of its founder’s units, with the final number of units to be determined based on the number of units sold in the Offering once the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised or expired. As of October 16, 2007, upon the closing of the Offering, Steel Partners II, L.P. owned 662,791 founder’s units. On October 31, 2007, the underwriters exercised a portion of their over-allotment option and SP Acq LLC sold an additional 6,197 of its founders units to Steel Partners II, L.P., bringing Steel Partners II, L.P. ownership to 668,988 units.
 
On March 28, 2007, the Company issued a $250,000 unsecured promissory note to Steel Partners, Ltd., an affiliate of SP Acq LLC and the Company. This note bore interest at 5% per annum, was unsecured and principal and interest payments were due on December 31, 2007. Steel Partners Ltd. confirmed on May 7, 2008 that the promissory note was not in default and that payment may be made on or before December 31, 2008.  Interest payable of $15,581 was accrued on this note through June 27, 2008, at which time the note and accrued interest were repaid in full.
 
Advances payable of $0 and $5,132 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, relate to certain costs paid by Steel Partners, Ltd. on behalf of the Company. None of the officers and directors of the Company received compensation for their services to the Company.
 
The Company presently occupies office space provided by Steel Partners, Ltd. Steel Partners, Ltd. has agreed that, until the acquisition of a target business by the Company, it will make such office space, as well as certain office, administrative and secretarial services, available to the Company, as may be required by the Company from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay Steel Partners, Ltd. $10,000 per month for such services. Services commenced on October 16, 2007. The Company has incurred $150,000 and $120,000 for such services through March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, of which $30,000 and $60,000 are included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
SP Acq LLC purchased, in a private placement on October 16, 2007, 7,000,000 additional founder’s warrants at a price of $1 per warrant (an aggregate purchase price of $7,000,000) directly from the Company and not as part of the Offering. The purchase price of these additional founder’s warrants has been determined by the Company to be the fair value of such warrants as of the October 16, 2007 purchase date. An aggregate of 500,000 additional founder’s warrants were sold by SP Acq LLC to certain directors.
 
In addition, Steel Partners II, L.P. has entered into an agreement with the Company requiring it to purchase 3,000,000 units (“co-investment units”) at a price of $10 per unit (an aggregate price of $30,000,000) from the Company in a private placement that will occur immediately prior to the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination. These private placement units will be identical to the units sold in the Offering. It has also agreed that these units will not be sold, transferred, or assigned until at least one year after the completion of the Business Combination. In the event that Steel Partners II, L.P. does not purchase the co-investment units, SP Acq LLC, Steel Partners II, L.P. and the directors who purchased founder’s units have agreed to surrender and forfeit their founder’s units and additional founder’s warrants to the Company, provided however that such surrender and forfeiture will not be required if SP Acq LLC purchases the co-investment units. In such event, Steel Partners II, L.P. has agreed to transfer its founder’s units to SP Acq LLC. None of the co-investment units have been issued by the Company as of March 31, 2009.

Initial founder’s warrants are not redeemable while held by SP Acq LLC or its permitted transferees and the exercisability of initial founder’s warrants are subject to certain additional restrictions. Each initial founder’s warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $14.25 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period beginning 90 days after a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to deliver registered shares of common stock to the holder upon exercise of the warrants during the exercise period, there will be no cash settlement of the warrants and the warrants will expire worthless.
 
Additional founder’s warrants entitle the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 for each warrant commencing on the completion of a Business Combination with a target business, and expire five years from the date of the prospectus. SP Acq LLC has also agreed that the warrants purchased by it will not be sold or transferred until after the completion of a Business Combination, and will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Company’s founders or their permitted transferees. Additionally, pursuant to the Director’s Purchase Agreement dated as of June 25, 2007, SP Acq LLC sold 500,000 of such initial founder’s warrants to certain directors on October 16, 2007.
 
Public warrants entitle the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock for each warrant at an exercise price of $7.50 commencing on the later of (a) one year from the date of the final prospectus for the Offering or (b) the completion of a Business Combination with a target business, and will expire five years from the date of the prospectus. The warrants are redeemable at the option of the Company at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon 30 days prior notice after the warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $14.25 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. The warrants will not be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock upon the exercise of the warrants by a holder unless, at the time of such exercise, an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available.  Although the Company has undertaken in the warrant agreement, and therefore has a contractual obligation, to use its best efforts to have an effective registration statement covering shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants from the date the warrants become exercisable and to maintain a current prospectus relating to that common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, and the Company intends to comply with it undertaking, the Company cannot assure you that it will be able to do so. If the Company is unable to deliver registered shares of common stock to the holder upon exercise of the warrants during the exercise period, there will be no cash settlement of the warrants and the warrants will expire worthless.

 
14
 
 
As disclosed in Note D, the initial founder’s warrants and additional founder’s warrants have certain restrictions and may be surrendered or forfeited under certain circumstances.
 
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement between the Company and SP Acq LLC, Steel Partners II, L.P. and Messrs. Bergamo, LaBow, Lorber, Toboroff and Walker, the holders of our founder’s units, founder’s shares and initial founder’s warrants and shares issuable upon exercise thereof will be entitled to certain registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date that they are no longer subject to transfer restrictions.

The Company has paid a total of $5,300,500 since inception in estimated tax payments for Federal, New York State and City income taxes.

The difference between the provision for income taxes and the amounts computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to the income before tax is due to state and local taxes, including New York capital based taxes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements under “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operation, are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Security Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When used in this Form 10-Q, words such as "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "expect," "future," "intend" and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All subsequent written or oral forward looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
   
Overview
 
We are a blank check company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 14, 2007. We were formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, one or more businesses or assets. We consummated our initial public offering on October 16, 2007. We are currently in the process of evaluating and identifying targets for a business combination. We intend to utilize cash from our initial public offering, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, in effecting a business combination. The issuance of additional shares of our capital stock:

 
·
may significantly reduce the equity interest of our stockholders;

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

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

Similarly, if we issue debt securities, it could result in:
 
 
·
default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a business combination were insufficient to pay our debt obligations;

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

 
·
our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security were payable on demand; and our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contained covenants restricting our ability to do so; and
 
 
·
Our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contained covenants restricting our ability to do so.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination, at the earliest. We will continue to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $607,287, which consisted of $338,949 in operating expenses, and $364,567 in taxes on income and capital based taxes, partially offset by $96,229 in interest income. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $975,924, which consisted of $2,654,509 in interest income partially offset by $197,464 in operating expenses, $3,125 in interest expense and $1,477,996 in taxes on income and capital based taxes. Net income for the period from February 14, 2007 (inception) through March 31, 2009 was $3,057,642, which consisted of $9,460,697 in interest income partially offset by $1,655,970 in formation and operating expenses, $15,581 in interest expense and $4,731,504 in taxes on income and capital based taxes. Through March 31, 2009, we did not engage in any significant operations. Our entire activity from inception through March 31, 2009 was to prepare for our initial public offering and begin the identification of and negotiations with a suitable business combination candidate.

The trustee of the trust account will pay any taxes resulting from interest accrued on the funds held in the trust account out of the funds held in the trust account. In addition, we will incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have never established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The net proceeds from (i) the sale of the units in our initial public offering (including the underwriters’ over-allotment option), after deducting offering expenses of approximately $1,095,604 and underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $30,302,720, together (ii) with $7,000,000 from SP Acq LLC’s investment in the additional founder’s warrants, were approximately $408,497,676. We expect that most of the proceeds held in the trust account will be used as consideration to pay the sellers of a target business or businesses with which we ultimately complete our initial business combination.  As of March 31, 2009, assets in the trust account of $426,460,141 were invested in United States Government Treasury-Bills which mature on May 7, 2009. bearing interest at an per annum rate of 0.21%.  We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering not in the trust account to pay expenses in locating and acquiring a target business, including identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the target business, and structuring, negotiating and consummating our initial business combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt financing is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business combination, any proceeds held in the trust account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used to finance the operations of the target business.

We do not believe we will need additional financing in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial business combination. However, we will rely on interest earned of up to $3,500,000 on the trust account to fund such expenditures and, to the extent that the interest earned is below our expectation, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, in addition to the co-investment we may need to obtain additional financing to consummate our initial business combination. We may also need additional financing because we may become obligated to convert into cash a significant number of shares of public stockholders voting against our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note B to the unaudited interim condensed financial statements. However, certain accounting policies are particularly important to the portrayal of financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management. As a result, the unaudited interim condensed financial statements are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. In applying those policies, management used its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in determination of certain estimates. These estimates are based on the Company’s historical experience, terms of existing contracts, observance of trends in the industry and information available from outside sources, as appropriate.
 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Interest Rate Sensitivity
 
As of March 31, 2009, our efforts were limited to organizational activities and activities relating to our initial public offering. Since our initial public offering, we have been identifying possible acquisition candidates. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues other than interest income.

Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or equity prices. $418,909,120 of the net Offering proceeds, including $17,315,840 of the proceeds attributable to the underwriters’ deferred fees from the Offering, as well as $7,000,000 of the proceeds of the private placement of 7,000,000 additional founders warrants were placed in a trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. As of March 31, 2009, the balance in the trust account was $426,524,821 (which includes interest receivable on the trust account of $64,680). The proceeds held in trust have only been invested in U.S. Government securities having a maturity of 90 days or less or in money market funds which invest principally in either short term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States or having the highest rating from recognized credit rating agency or tax exempt municipal bonds issued by government entities located within the United States or otherwise meeting the conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. Thus, we are currently subject to market risk primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on short-term government securities and other highly rated money-market instruments. As of March 31, 2009, assets in the Trust account of $426,524,821 were invested in United States Government Treasury-Bills which mature on May 7, 2009 and bear interest at an per annum rate of 0.21%. A one percentage point change in the interest rate received on our cash, short-term government securities and money-market instruments of $428,496,730 at March 31, 2009 would result in an increase or decrease of up to $1,071,000 in interest income over the following 90-day period. Management cannot provide any assurance about the actual effect of changes in interest rates on net interest income.  The estimate provided does not include the effects of possible strategic changes in the balances of various assets and liabilities throughout 2009 or additional actions the Company could undertake in response to changes in interest rates.
