Introduction
 
We are a blank check company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 10, 2005 to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of an unidentified operating business. Our efforts in identifying a prospective target business are not limited to a particular industry. Our current business consists solely of identifying, researching and negotiating the purchase of a business meeting the requirements and standards of our business plan. On October 18th and 19th, 2007, we entered into two letters of intent (the “LOIs”) with two separate target companies relating to proposed business combinations. As a result of entering into the LOIs, we must complete a business combination with either of these target companies on or before April 25, 2008.
 

4


We intend to continue to negotiate definitive agreements with both of the target companies until we reach a definitive agreement with one of them. There is no assurance that we will be able to reach a definitive agreement with either of the target companies. There is no assurance that the acquisition of either target company will be completed, as each acquisition is subject to successful completion of business, legal and accounting due diligence, as well as the execution of definitive agreements and the approval of our stockholders.
 
Having entered into the LOIs with the two target companies, however, we intend to focus all our efforts on completing a transaction with one of the target companies. Given the timing of the LOIs and our charter constraints, we cannot consummate an alternative transaction if neither of these transactions are completed.
 
We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any substantive commercial business until we consummate a business combination. Rather, we are devoting our time, attention and resources to negotiating and completing the proposed business combination with one of the target companies with whom we have entered into an LOI. Only a portion of the net proceeds of our initial public offering are to be applied generally toward effecting one of the proposed business combinations and we expect to utilize the remaining proceeds following the transaction for working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
Selection of a target business and structuring a business combination
 
Prior to entering into the LOIs, our approach in seeking to complete a business combination involved directly identifying target businesses, as well as having target candidates brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including securities broker-dealers, investment bankers, venture capitalists, bankers and other members of the financial community. Target businesses were brought to our attention by such unaffiliated sources as solicited and unsolicited proposals. Our initial securityholders, including our officers, directors and senior advisors, and their affiliates also brought to our attention target business candidates of which they become aware. We may have to pay a finder’s fee to a third party, depending on which business consummation is ultimately completed, if any. In no event, however, will we pay any of our initial stockholders or any entity with which they are affiliated any finder’s fee or other compensation for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the consummation of a business combination.
 
Although our efforts in identifying a prospective target business were not limited to a particular industry, we initially focused our search on target businesses in the business process and services industry. We considered and reviewed over fifty potential target businesses, including opportunities within the business process and services industry, as well as opportunities in other industries. These potential targets included opportunities in the call center, medical claims processing, engineering services, information technology services, animation services, research services, and financial analysis services sectors, among others. Targets that presented opportunities for operational cost savings via business process reengineering and/or leveraging offshore human resources were of special interest to us. Additionally, targets that had characteristics of strong revenue growth, positive earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, and that leveraged skilled labor forces were also of special interest. Targets that were outside of the traditional business process and services industries that met these cost savings and growth criteria were considered equally favorably as targets that were in the traditional business process and services industries.
 
5

 
Subject to the requirement that our initial business combination must be with a target business that has a fair market value that is equal to at least 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition, our management has virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective target business. We had not established any other specific attributes or criteria (financial or otherwise) for prospective target businesses, though we were initially focusing on the business process services sector. However, to the extent that we became aware of targets outside of the business process services sector that (i) presented opportunities for operational cost savings via business process reengineering or leveraging offshore human resources or (ii) had characteristics of strong revenue growth, positive earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, and that leveraged skilled labor forces, we considered such prospective target businesses equally.
 
In evaluating a prospective target business, our management considered, among other factors, the following:
 
· financial condition and results of operation;
 
· growth potential;
 
· experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel;
 
· skilled labor intensive operations that can be relocated to lower cost jurisdictions;
 
· capital requirements;
 
· competitive position;
 
· barriers to entry;
 
· 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.
 

6


 
The above criteria were not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular business combination was based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by our management in effecting a business combination consistent with our business objective. In evaluating our prospective business combination, we will conduct an extensive due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as review of financial and other information which will be made available to us. We will also seek to have all prospective target businesses execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust.
 
As we have only recently identified specific business combination candidates, the time and costs required to evaluate such transactions and structure and complete a business combination with one of the target companies cannot currently be ascertained with any degree of certainty. If a business combination is not ultimately completed, any costs incurred with respect to the evaluation of the prospective target businesses will result in a loss to us and reduce the amount of our capital.
 
In connection with our initial public offering, we had engaged HCFP/Brenner Securities, the representative of the underwriters of our initial public offering, on a non-exclusive basis, to act as our investment banker to assist us in structuring a business combination and negotiating its terms (but not for purposes of locating potential target candidates for our business combination). We will pay HCFP/Brenner Securities a cash fee at the closing of our business combination of $900,000.
 
Although we intend to scrutinize closely the management of our prospective business combination candidates, we cannot assure you that our assessment will prove to be correct. Pursuant to the LOIs, it is not anticipated that any of our officers will be employees of or consultants to the Company following either of the proposed business combinations. In addition, we cannot assure you that the future management will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of our directors, if any, in the target businesses cannot currently be stated with any certainty. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with the Company following a business combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to a business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our directors will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.
 
Following a business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.

Fair market value of target business
 
The initial target business that we acquire must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition, although we may acquire a target business whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of our net assets. The fair market value of our prospective target’s business will be determined by our board of directors based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community, such as actual and potential sales, earnings and cash flow and book value. If our board is not able to independently determine that the target business has a sufficient fair market value, we will obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. Since any opinion, if obtained, would merely state that the fair market value of the target business meets the 80% of net assets threshold, it is not anticipated that copies of such opinion would be distributed to our stockholders, although copies will be provided to stockholders who request it. We will not be required to obtain an opinion from an investment banking firm as to the fair market value if our board of directors independently determines that the target business has sufficient fair market value.
 
Opportunity for Class B stockholder approval of business combination
 
Prior to the completion of a business combination, we will submit the transaction to our Class B stockholders for approval, even if the nature of the acquisition would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable state law. In connection with seeking Class B stockholder approval of a business combination, we will furnish our Class B stockholders with proxy solicitation materials prepared in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which, among other matters, will include a description of the operations of the target business and audited historical financial statements of the business. These materials will also be mailed to the holders of our common stock although their vote will not be solicited.
 
We will not proceed with a business combination if the holders of a majority of the shares of Class B common stock cast at the meeting to approve the business combination fail to vote in favor of such business combination or if stockholders owning 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock both exercise their conversion rights and vote against the business combination.
 
Conversion rights
 
At the time we seek Class B stockholder approval of any business combination, we will offer each Class B stockholder the right to have his, her or its shares of Class B common stock converted to cash if he, she or it votes against the business combination and the business combination is approved and completed. The holders of our common stock will not be entitled to seek conversion of their shares. The actual per-share conversion price will be equal to the amount in the trust fund inclusive of any interest (calculated as of two business days prior to the proposed consummation of the business combination), divided by the number of Class B shares sold in our initial public offering. Without taking into account any interest earned on the trust fund, the initial aggregate conversion price of a share of Class B common stock would be $5.05. An eligible Class B stockholder may request conversion at any time after the mailing to our Class B stockholders of the proxy statement and prior to the vote taken with respect to a proposed business combination at a meeting held for that purpose, but the request will not be granted unless the Class B stockholder votes against the business combination and the business combination is approved and completed. Any request for conversion, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date of the meeting. It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to Class B stockholders entitled to convert their Class B shares who elect conversion will be distributed promptly after completion of a business combination. Any Class B stockholder who converts his, her or its Class B common stock into his, her or its share of the trust fund still has the right to exercise the Class W warrants that he, she or it received as part of the Series B units. We will not complete any business combination if Class B stockholders, owning 20% or more of the Class B shares outstanding, both vote against the business combination and exercise their conversion rights.

Distribution of trust fund to Class B stockholders if no business combination
 
If we do not complete a business combination on or before April 25, 2008, our charter provides that we distribute to all of our Class B stockholders, in proportion to their respective equity interest in the Class B common stock, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust fund, inclusive of any interest, and all then outstanding shares of Class B common stock will be automatically cancelled. There will be no distribution from the trust fund with respect to our common stock or our Class W and Class Z warrants. Our charter provides that certain provisions that apply prior to a business combination, including those provisions relating to the distribution of the trust fund if no business combination occurs within the prescribed time periods, cannot be amended. Our counsel has advised us that these restrictions on charter amendments may not be enforceable under Delaware law. Nevertheless, we have viewed these business combination procedures in our charter as obligations to investors and we do not intend to propose any amendment to these procedures to our stockholders.
 
Without taking into account any interest earned on the trust fund, the initial aggregate conversion price of a share of Class B common stock would be $5.05. The proceeds deposited in the trust fund could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which could be prior to the claims of our Class B stockholders. We cannot assure you that the actual distribution per Class B share will not be less than $5.05, plus interest, due to claims of creditors. If we are unable to complete a business combination and are forced to distribute the proceeds held in trust to our Class B stockholders, each of Rahul Prakash, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Abhishek Jain, our President and a member of our Board of Directors, and Avinash Vashistha, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and a member of our Board of Directors, have 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 of vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us and that have not executed an agreement waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust. However, we cannot assure you that these individuals will be able to satisfy those obligations. Since we entered into a letter of intent to complete a business combination prior to October 25, 2007, but did not complete the business combination by such date, we have an additional six months in which to complete the business combination. If we are unable to do so on or before April 25, 2008, we will then notify the trustee of the trust fund to commence liquidating the investments constituting the trust fund and will turn over the proceeds to our transfer agent for distribution to our Class B stockholders. We anticipate that our instruction to the trustee would be given promptly after such applicable date.
 

9



 
A Class B stockholder shall be entitled to receive funds from the trust fund only in the event we do not complete a business combination within the applicable time periods or if the Class B stockholder elected to convert his, her or its shares into cash upon our completion of a business combination that the Class B stockholder voted against and such business combination is actually completed by us. In no other circumstances shall a Class B stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust fund. Holders of our common stock will not be entitled to receive any of the proceeds held in the trust fund.
 
Liquidation if no business combination
 
If we do not complete a business combination on or before April 25, 2008, we will be dissolved and any remaining net assets, after the distribution of the trust fund to our Class B stockholders, will be distributed to the holders of our common stock. It is likely, however, that our remaining net assets will be minimal following the expenditures incurred in connection with the attempt to complete a business combination and, accordingly, such holders are likely to lose all or substantially all of their investment. Accordingly, the holders of our common stock will receive distributions on liquidation only in the event that the amount of proceeds not held in trust exceeds the expenses we incur.
 
Competition
 
In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business, we have encountered intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours. There are numerous blank check companies that have completed initial public offerings that are seeking to carry out a business plan similar to our business plan. Additionally, we faced competition from other companies looking to expand their operations through the acquisition of a target business. Many of these entities with which we have competed are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than us and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. Further:
 
·
our obligation to seek Class B stockholder approval of a business combination may delay the completion of a transaction;
   
·
our obligation to convert into cash shares of Class B common stock held by our Class B stockholders if such holders both vote against the business combination and also seek conversion of their shares may reduce the resources available to us for a business combination; and
   
·
our outstanding warrants and option, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses.
 
If we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors of the target business. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources or ability to compete effectively.

Facilities
We maintain our executive offices at 3130 Fairview Park Drive, Suite 500, Falls Church, Virginia 22042. The cost for this space is included in the $7,500 per-month fee that Everest Telecom LLC charges us for general and administrative services pursuant to a letter agreement between us and Everest Telecom LLC, an affiliate of Mr. Prakash. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the northern Virginia area, that the fee charged by Everest Telecom LLC is at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.
 
Employees
 
We have three executive officers, all of whom are also members of our board of directors. These individuals are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours to our matters 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 whether a target business has been selected for a business combination and the stage of our business combination process. Accordingly, once management locates a suitable target business to acquire, they will spend more time investigating such target business and negotiating and processing the business combination (and consequently more time on our affairs) than they would prior to locating a suitable target business.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
Future results of our operations involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect future operating results and cash flows and cause actual results to vary materially from historical results include, but are not limited to those risks set forth below:
 
Risks associated with our business

The Company has received an audit opinion with an explanatory paragraph regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The audit report our independent registered public accounting firm issued on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We are required to complete a business combination on or before April 25, 2008. The possibility of such business combination not being consummated raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
We are a development stage company with no operating history and very limited resources.
 
We are a recently incorporated development stage company with no operations to date other than organizational activities. Since we do not have an operating history, you will have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective, which is to acquire an operating business. Although we have entered into two letters of intent, we have not yet entered into any definitive agreements, or other arrangements relating to a business combination. We have no present revenue and will not generate any revenue until, at the earliest, after the consummation of a business combination. As of October 25, 2007, our cash and working capital were insufficient to complete our planned activities for the upcoming year beyond April 25, 2008, the date by which we must consummate a business combination..
 
If we are unable to complete a business combination, holders of our common stock will be unable to convert their securities and participate in the distribution of the trust fund.
 
The trust fund is reserved for holders of our Class B common stock acquired as part of the Series B units sold in our initial public offering. Consequently, if we are unable to complete a business combination on or before April 25, 2008, the holders of common stock that was sold as part of the Series A units will not be entitled to participate in the distribution of the trust fund. Furthermore, there will be no distribution from the trust fund with respect to our outstanding Class W warrants and Class Z warrants.
 

11



 
Holders of the shares of common stock will not be entitled to vote those shares on a proposed business combination.
 
Unless required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, holders of the shares of common stock will not be entitled to vote those shares on a proposed business combination with a target business. Only the holders of Class B common stock will have an opportunity to approve a business combination. Consequently, holders of common stock and warrants will be entirely dependent upon the judgment of the holders of Class B common stock in determining whether or not a proposed business combination is approved.
 
Because there are numerous companies with a business plan similar to ours seeking to effectuate a business combination, it may be more difficult for us to complete a business combination.
 
There are numerous blank check companies which have gone public in the United States since August 2003 that are seeking to complete business combinations. Furthermore, there are numerous additional offerings for blank check companies in the United States that are still in the registration process but have not completed initial public offerings and there are likely to be more blank check companies filing registration statements for initial public offerings prior to our completion of a business combination. While some of the blank check companies must complete their respective business combinations in specific industries, a number of them may consummate their business combinations in any industry they choose. Therefore, we may be subject to competition from these and other companies seeking to consummate a business combination, notwithstanding the fact that both of our LOIs contain provisions requiring the target company to exclusively negotiate with us for a minimum of thirty days or until completion of definitive agreements, whichever is earlier.
 
If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share distribution received by Class B stockholders could be less than $5.05 per share.
 
Our placing of funds in trust may not protect those funds from third party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, prospective target businesses or other entities we engage, execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust fund for the benefit of the holders of our Class B common stock, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or that even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the trust fund. 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 fund for any reason. Accordingly, the proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims which could take priority over the claims of the holders of our Class B common stock. We cannot assure you that the per-share distribution from the trust fund will not be less than $5.05 due to claims of creditors. If we are unable to complete a business combination and are forced to distribute the proceeds held in trust to the holders of our Class B common stock, our executive officers Rahul Prakash, Abhishek Jain and Avinash Vashistha, have agreed that they will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust fund are not reduced by the claims, if any, of target businesses or of vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us and that have not executed an agreement waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust. However, we cannot assure you that these individuals will be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, and because of the significant limitations on their indemnification obligations described above, we believe that these individuals will be able to satisfy their indemnification obligations. However, we cannot assure you this will be the case. Accordingly, the proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims which could take priority over the claims of the holders of our Class B common stock and we cannot assure you that the per-share distribution from the trust fund will not be less than $5.05 due to claims of creditors.
 
12

 
Our common stockholders and our Class B stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them.
 
Under Sections 280 through 282 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the Delaware General Corporation Law intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is our intention to distribute the proceeds of the trust fund to our Class B stockholders and make liquidating distributions to our common stockholders as soon as reasonably possible after dissolution and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. As such, our common stockholders and Class B common stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution and any liability of our common stockholders and Class B stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such dissolution. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from our common stockholders and Class B stockholders amounts owed to them by us.
 
Additionally, if we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us which is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance”. As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by our stockholders in our dissolution.
 
We will dissolve and liquidate if we do not consummate a business combination.
 
Because we entered into two letters of intent to complete a business combination prior to October 25, 2007, but did not complete the business combination by October 25, 2007, we must complete such business combination on or before April 25, 2008.
 

13

 
If we do not complete a business combination on or before April 25, 2008, we will be dissolved and any remaining net assets, after the distribution of the trust fund to our Class B stockholders, will be distributed to the holders of our common stock. It is likely, however, that our remaining net assets will be minimal following the expenditures incurred in connection with the attempt to complete a business combination and, accordingly, such holders are likely to lose all or substantially all of their investment. Accordingly, the holders of our common stock will receive distributions on liquidation only in the event that the amount of proceeds not held in trust exceeds the expenses we incur.
 
Since we have only recently selected two alternative target businesses with which to complete a business combination, we are unable to currently ascertain the merits or risks of the business’ operations.
 
We have only recently identified prospective target businesses and entered into letters of intent with respect to proposed business combinations. We are currently conducting business, legal and accounting due diligence with respect to such prospective target businesses. Accordingly, our stockholders have no current basis to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target business’ operations. To the extent we complete a business combination with either target company, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in their business operations. A letter of intent is merely a statement of the parties’ current intentions and remains subject to the execution of definitive agreements. Additionally, while we intend to focus all of our business efforts on completing a transaction with one of the target companies, as either transaction is subject to approval of our stockholders as well as a satisfactory completion of business, legal and account due diligence, it is possible that we will not complete a transaction. Given the timing of the LOIs and our charter constraints, we cannot consummate an alternative transaction if we do not complete a transaction with either target company. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in the target businesses, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. We also cannot assure you that an investment in our units, common stock or warrants will not ultimately prove to be less favorable to our stockholders than a direct investment, if an opportunity were available, in a target business.
 
We may issue shares of our capital stock or debt securities to complete a business combination, which would reduce the equity interest of our stockholders and likely cause a change in control of our ownership.
 
Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of up to 24,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, 7,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $.0001 per share, and 5,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share. As of October 25, 2007, there were 2,684,900 and 1,020,000 authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and Class B common stock, respectively, available for issuance (after appropriate reservation for the issuance of shares upon conversion of the Class B common stock and upon full exercise of our outstanding Class W warrants and Class Z warrants and the purchase option granted to HCFP/Brenner Securities, the representative of the underwriters of our initial public offering) and all of the 5,000 shares of preferred stock available for issuance. Although we currently have no definitive agreements to issue our securities, we will, if either of the transactions contemplated by the LOIs is consummated, issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock in such business combination. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock or any number of shares of our preferred stock:
 

14



·
may significantly reduce the equity interest of our investors;
   
·
may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded to our common 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 carryforwards, if any, and most likely also result in the resignation or removal of some or all of our present 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 contains covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and any such covenant is breached without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
   
·
our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; and
   
·
our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security is outstanding.
 
These individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a public company which could cause them to have to expend time and resources to become familiar with such requirements. This could be expensive and time-consuming and could lead to various regulatory issues.
 
Because our officers, directors and senior advisors allocate their time to other businesses, it may interfere with our ability to consummate a business combination.
 
Our officers, directors and senior advisors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and other businesses. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination. All of our officers, directors and senior advisors are engaged in several other business endeavors and are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours to our affairs. If their other business affairs require them to devote more substantial amounts of time to such affairs, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs and could interfere with our ability to consummate a business combination.
 

15



 
All of our officers, directors and senior advisors own securities of ours which will not participate in the distribution of the trust fund or distributions upon our liquidation. This may cause them to have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate for a business combination.
 
The common stock, Class W warrants and Class Z warrants owned by our officers, directors and senior advisors will become worthless if we do not consummate a business combination. The personal and financial interests of our officers, directors and senior advisors may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business and completing a business combination. Consequently, our officers’, directors’ and senior advisors’ discretion in identifying and selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business combination are appropriate and in our stockholders’ best interest. To the extent such individuals purchase Class B common stock, they are entitled to vote as they choose on a proposal to approve a business combination and exercise conversion rights in connection therewith. These individuals may not have the same interests as other Class B common stockholders.
 
If our common stock or Class B common stock becomes subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.
 
If at any time we have net tangible assets of $5,000,000 or less and our common stock or Class B common stock has a market price per share of less than $5.00, transactions in our securities may be subject to the “penny stock” rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:
 
·
make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;
   
·
receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale;
   
·
provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in “penny stocks” and which describe the market for these “penny stocks” as well as a purchaser’s legal remedies; and
   
·
obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a “penny stock” can be completed.
 
If our common stock and Class B common stock becomes subject to these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected. As a result, the market price of our securities may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our securities.
 

16


 
It is probable that we will only be able to complete one business combination, which will cause us to be solely dependent on a single business and a limited number of products or services.
 
As of July 31, 2007 we had $31,345,933.01 (plus interest receivable of $84,647) on deposit in a trust fund that we may use to complete a business combination. Our initial business combination must be with a business with a fair market value of at least 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition. Consequently, initially we will have the ability to complete only a single business combination, although this may entail the simultaneous acquisitions of several closely related operating businesses. By consummating a business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to a business combination. Further, we would not be able to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry. Accordingly, the prospects for our success may be:
 
·
solely dependent upon the performance of a single business; or
   
·
dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.
 
If we are unable to address these risks adequately, we may not be able to achieve the optimal result of the merger, including improving productivity, efficiencies, profitability and operating results.
 
Because of our limited resources and structure, we may not be able to consummate an attractive business combination.
 
We have encountered intense competition from other entities with business objectives similar to ours, including venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds and operating businesses competing for acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than we do and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe that there are numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire with the net proceeds of our initial public offering, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses has been limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation has given others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of certain target businesses. Further, the obligation we have to seek Class B stockholder approval of a business combination may delay the consummation of a transaction, and our obligation to convert into cash the shares of Class B common stock in certain instances may reduce the resources available for a business combination. Additionally, our outstanding Class W warrants and Class Z warrants, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Any of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. The fact that less than half of the blank check companies that have gone public in the United States since August 2003 have completed a business combination or entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination may indicate that many privately held target businesses are not inclined to enter into a business combination with a blank check company. If we are unable to consummate a business combination with a target business within the prescribed time period, we will be forced to liquidate and, in such case, the holders of our common stock and warrants will lose their entire investment.
 

17



 
We may be unable to obtain additional financing, if required, to fund the operations and growth of the target business.
 
Although we believe our current assets will be sufficient to allow us to consummate a business combination contemplated by the LOIs, in as much as we have only recently identified a prospective target business, we cannot ascertain the capital requirements for the target business if the proposed business combination is completed. The net proceeds of our initial public offering may prove to be insufficient to fund the operations or growth of the target business. The failure to secure additional financing could prevent or severely limit the continued development or growth of the target business. None of our officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after a business combination.
 
Our outstanding warrants and option may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and warrants and make it more difficult to effect a business combination.
 
We currently have outstanding Class W warrants to purchase 7,517,500 shares of common stock and Class Z warrants to purchase 6,137,500 shares of common stock. We also issued an option to purchase 20,000 Series A units and/or 130,000 Series B units to the representative of the underwriters of our initial public offering which, if exercised, will result in the issuance of an additional 300,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 460,000 shares of common stock. To the extent we issue shares of common stock to effect a business combination, the potential for the issuance of substantial numbers of additional shares upon exercise of these warrants and option could make us a less attractive acquisition vehicle in the eyes of a target business as such securities, when exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and reduce the value of the shares issued to complete the business combination. Accordingly, our warrants and option may make it more difficult to effectuate a business combination or increase the cost of the target business. Additionally, the sale, or even the possibility of sale, of the securities underlying the warrants and option 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 and option are exercised, you may experience dilution to your holdings.
 
If our officers exercise their registration rights, it may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock and the existence of these rights may make it more difficult to effect a business combination.
 

18


 
Our initial securityholders are entitled to demand that we register the resale of their 100 shares of our common stock and their 1,537,500 Class W warrants and 1,537,500 Class Z warrants as well as the 3,075,000 shares of common stock underlying their Class W warrants and Class Z warrants at any time after we consummate a business combination. Thus, if our existing securityholders exercise their registration rights with respect to these securities, there could be up to an additional 100 shares of common stock and 3,075,000 warrants (or an additional 3,075,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants) eligible for trading in the public market. The presence of this additional number of shares of common stock and warrants eligible for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the existence of these rights may make it more difficult to effectuate a business combination or increase the cost of the target business, as the stockholders of the target business may be discouraged from entering into a business combination with us or request a higher price for their securities as a result of these registration rights and the potential future effect their exercise may have on the trading market for our common stock.
 
If we are deemed to be an investment company, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete a business combination.
 
If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, we may be subject to certain restrictions that may make it difficult for us to complete a business combination, including:
 
 
·
restrictions on the nature of our investments; and
 
 
·
restrictions on our issuance of securities.
 
In addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:
 
 
·
registration as an investment company;
 
 
·
adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and
 
 
·
reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations.
 
We do not believe that our anticipated proposed activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act of 1940 as the proceeds held in trust may only be invested by the trust agent in “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. By restricting the investment of the trust fund to these instruments, we intend to meet the requirements for the exemption provided in Rule 3a-1 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. If we were deemed to be subject to the act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expense that we have not allotted for.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES
 
We maintain our executive office at 3130 Fairview Park Drive, Suite 500, Falls Church, Virginia 22042, pursuant to an agreement with Everest Telecom LLC, an affiliate of Rahul Prakash, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. We pay Everest Telecom LLC a monthly fee of $7,500 which is for general and administrative services, including office space, utilities and secretarial support. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the Falls Church, Virginia area, that the fee charged by Everest Telecom is at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations.

The payment of any dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our then board of directors. It is the present intention of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and footnotes thereto contained in this report.

General

We were formed on August 10, 2005 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an unidentified operating business. We completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) on April 25, 2006. Our entire activity from inception through the consummation of our IPO on April 25, 2006 was to prepare for and complete our IPO. Since the consummation of our IPO on April 25, 2006, our activity has been limited to identifying targets for a business combination.

As of October 25, 2007, we have entered into two letters of intent with two different target companies to effect a business combination. We are not presently engaged in, and will not engage in, any substantive commercial business until we consummate a business combination.

Results of Operations
 
Net income for the year ended July 31, 2007 was $500,795 which consisted of interest income of the trust fund of $980,953, and interest on cash and cash equivalents of $33,839, offset by $253,945 of professional fees and $260,052 of general and administrative expenses consisting of $90,000 for a monthly administrative services agreement with an affiliate, $55,000 of D&O insurance, $ 36,500 of Delaware franchise tax and $78,552 of other expenses.
 
Net income for the period from inception (August 10, 2005) to July 31, 2006 was $153,457, which consisted of interest income of the trust fund of $250,626, and interest on cash and cash equivalents of $8,290, offset by $64,424 of professional fees and $41,035 of general and administrative expenses consisting of $25,725 for a monthly administrative services agreement with an affiliate, $10,056 of Delaware franchise tax and $5,254 of other expenses.
 
The Administrative Services Agreement with Everest Telecom LLC is for our benefit and is not intended to provide compensation in lieu of a salary. Amounts of $90,000, $25,725 and $115,725 are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying condensed statements of operations for the year ended July 31, 2007 and for the period from inception (August 1, 2005) to July 31, 2006 and for the period from inception (August 10, 2005) to July 31, 2007, pursuant to this arrangement.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our net proceeds from the IPO, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $434,000 and underwriting discounts of approximately $2,047,000, was approximately $31,600,000 of which $30,199,000 was placed in a trust account and the remaining proceeds of approximately $1,430,000 became available to be used to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective transactions and continuing general and administrative expenses. We expect to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO to acquire a target business, including identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the target business, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the proceeds held in the trust account, as well as any other net proceeds not expended, will be used to finance the operations of the target. At July 31, 2007, we had cash outside of the trust account of $995,386, cash held inside the trust account of $31,430,580, prepaid expenses of $41,000, deferred acquisition costs of $17,404 and total liabilities of $78,047.
 
We believe that the funds available to us outside of the trust account will be sufficient to allow us to operate until April 25, 2008, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. Of the funds held outside of the trust account totaling $995,386 as of July 31, 2007, we anticipate using these funds to cover legal and accounting fees, other expenses attendant to the due diligence investigations, structuring, and negotiating of a business combination, and administrative expenses incurred prior to completing a business combination. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, we may need to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities if such funds are required to consummate a business combination that is presented to us. We would only consummate such a fund raising simultaneously with the consummation of a business combination.

Amounts of $90,000, $25,725 and $115,725 are included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying condensed statements of operations for the year ended July 31, 2007 and for the period from inception (August 1, 2005) to July 31, 2006 and for the period from inception (August 10, 2005) to July 31, 2007, pursuant to this arrangement.

Critical Accounting Policies 
 
Investments Held in Trust - The restricted investment held in the Trust Fund at July 31, 2007 is comprised of U.S. Government Institutional money market securities with maturities of up to 30 days. Such securities generate current income which is exempt from federal income tax and the Company is incorporated in Delaware and accordingly is subject to franchise taxes.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivatives - The fair values of our assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under SFAS No. 107 approximate their carrying amounts presented in the balance sheet at July 31, 2007.
 
We account for derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, (“SFAS 133”) which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments imbedded in other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Accounting for the changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedge relationships and the types of the relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are not designated as hedges are recognized in earnings as other income (loss).

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISKS
 
To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities and activities relating to our initial public offering and the identification of a target business. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. As the proceeds from our initial public offering held in trust have been invested in short term investments, our only market risk exposure relates to fluctuations in interest.
 
As of July 31, 2007, $31,430,580 of the net proceeds of our initial public offering (including interest) was held in trust for the purposes of consummating a business combination. The proceeds held in trust have been invested in a money market fund which invests in United States Treasury Bills, commercial paper and other money market instruments. As of July 31, 2007, the effective annualized interest rate payable on our investment was 3.22%.
 
We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception on August 1, 2005. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2007. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2007. Based upon their evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Our board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Avinash Vashistha, will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Abhishek Jain, will expire at the second annual meeting. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Dr. Brian Boyle and Rahul Prakash, will expire at the third annual meeting.
 
We do not have an audit committee of our Board of Directors nor do we have an audit committee financial expert, because we do not believe the nature of our business is such that an audit committee or audit committee financial expert would be useful or necessary. Furthermore, our equity securities are not listed on an exchange or automated quotation system that requires its listed companies to appoint an audit committee. Our board of directors has not made a determination as to the independence of our directors. We intend to comply with the independence standards required upon completion of a business combination.
 
We have not adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer or principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, primarily because we do not and will not have any operations until such time as we enter into a business combination. We intend to adopt a Code of Ethics at or prior to such time as we enter into a business combination.
 

29



 
Conflicts of Interest
 
Holders of our securities should be aware of the following potential conflicts of interest:
 
• None of our officers and directors are required to commit their full time to our affairs and, accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities.
 
• In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. They may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
 
• Our directors own warrants that are subject to lock-up agreements restricting their sale until a business combination is successfully completed. Accordingly, our board may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate to effect a business combination. Additionally, such individuals may purchase units in the open market. If such individuals purchase Series B units in the open market or Class B common stock in the open market, they would be entitled to vote as they choose on a proposal to approve a business combination and exercise conversion rights in connection therewith. These individuals may not have the same interests as other Class B common stockholders.
 
• Although none of our directors and officers are expected to enter into consulting or employment agreements with the company as part of the proposed business combination pursuant to which they may be entitled to compensation for their services following the business combination, the final terms of the proposed business combination have not been negotiated. The personal and financial interests of our directors and officers may influence their motivation in negotiating and completing a business combination in a timely manner.
 
Conflicts of interest may arise when our board evaluates the proposed business combination. We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor. If any of these conflicts are not resolved in our favor, it may diminish our ability to complete a favorable business combination.
 
In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, each of our officers and directors has agreed, until the earlier of a business combination or the distribution of the trust fund to the Class B stockholders, or such time as he ceases to be an officer or director, to present to our company for our consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any suitable business opportunity which may reasonably be required to be presented to us subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations he might have.
 
Mr. Jain has a pre-existing fiduciary obligation to WTP Capital, LLC and its affiliate, Washington Technology Partners, Inc. (collectively, “WTP”). However, the investment focus of WTP is substantially smaller than our focus, and it is not anticipated that WTP would target business combinations as large as we will target. Accordingly, we believe that any potential for a conflict of interest due to this pre-existing obligation is minimal.
 

30



 
To further minimize potential conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate a business combination with an entity which is affiliated with any of our initial securityholders unless we obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that the business combination is fair to our stockholders from a financial point of view. The proposed target business is not an affiliate of any of our initial securityholders.
 
Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires certain officers and directors of Global Services Partners Acquisition Corp., and any persons who own more than ten-percent of the common stock outstanding to file forms reporting their initial beneficial ownership of shares and subsequent changes in that ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the NASDAQ Stock Market. Officers and directors of Global Services Partners Acquisition Corp., and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners are also required to furnish the Company with copies of all such Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of the forms furnished to the Company, the Company believes that during the 2007 fiscal year we complied with all section 16(a) filing requirements.
 
ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
None of our executive officers, directors or senior advisors has received any cash compensation for services rendered. Additionally, we have not entered into employment agreements with any of our executive officers, directors or senior advisors. Commencing April 18, 2006, we began paying Everest Telecom LLC, an affiliate of Mr. Rahul Prakash, a fee of $7,500 per month for providing us with office space and certain office and administrative services. However, this arrangement is solely for our benefit and is not intended to provide Mr. Prakash compensation in lieu of a salary. Other than this $7,500 per-month fee, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, has been paid to any of our initial stockholders, officers, directors, senior advisors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. However, they are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there is no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of directors (which includes persons who may seek reimbursement) or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged. Because of the foregoing, we will generally not have the benefit of independent directors examining the propriety of expenses incurred on our behalf and subject to reimbursement.
 
Since our formation, we have not granted any stock options or stock appreciation rights or any awards under long-term incentive plans.
 

31



 
Other than the securities described above and in the section appearing below in this Annual Report on Form 10-K entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters,” neither our officers nor our directors have received any of our equity securities.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
None.
 
Compensation Report
 
Since we do not have a compensation committee, the board of directors has reviewed and discussed with our management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Based on this review and these discussions with management, the board of directors has determined that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

These shares and warrants were acquired by WTP Capital, LLC, of which Mr. Jain is the Chief Executive Officer and a member.
 
(2)
These warrants were acquired by Tholons Capital LLC, of which Mr. Vashistha is President and a member.
 
Each of the current holders of our securities has agreed, pursuant to a letter agreement between us and HCFP/Brenner Securities, not to sell any of the foregoing securities until the completion of a business combination. In addition, WTP Capital, LLC, the sole holder of our common stock outstanding prior to our initial public offering, of which Mr. Jain is Chief Executive Officer and a member, has agreed to waive its right to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to shares of common stock acquired by it prior to our initial public offering.
 
Everest Telecom LLC, an affiliate of Mr. Prakash, has agreed that until the acquisition of a target business, it will make available to us office space and certain office and administrative services, as we may require from time to time. We have agreed to pay Everest Telecom $7,500 per month for these services. Mr. Prakash is its President and Chief Executive Officer and member owns approximately 90% of Everest Telecom. Consequently, Mr. Prakash will benefit from this transaction to the extent of his interests in Everest Telecom. However, this arrangement is solely for our benefit and is not intended to provide Mr. Prakash compensation in lieu of a salary. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the northern Virginia area, that the fees charged by Everest Telecom is at least as favorable as we could have obtained from an unaffiliated person. However, as our directors may not be deemed “independent,” we did not have the benefit of disinterested directors approving this transaction.
 
Our initial securityholders advanced a total of $52,500 to us in August 2005 to cover expenses related to our initial public offering. We issued notes to them which were repaid from the proceeds of our initial public offering that are not held in trust.
 

36



 
We reimburse our officers, directors and senior advisors, 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.
 
Other than the $7,500 per-month administrative fee payable to Everest Telecom and 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 of our initial securityholders, officers or directors, or to any of their affiliates prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of the business combination. From the consummation of our initial public offering through July 31, 2007, we paid an aggregate of $115,725 to Everest Telecom.
 
Any ongoing or future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates, including loans by our officers and directors, will require prior approval in each instance by a majority of our disinterested “independent” directors (to the extent we have any) or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction. These directors will, if they determine necessary or appropriate, have access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our disinterested “independent” directors (or, if there are no “independent” directors, our disinterested directors) determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


Board of Directors and Stockholders
Global Services Partners Acquisition Corp.
Falls Church, Virginia
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Global Services Partners Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2007, for the period from August 10, 2005 (inception) to July 31, 2006 and for the period from August 10, 2005 (inception) to July 31, 2007. 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 the standards of 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for mandatory liquidation of the Company in the event that the Company does not consummate a business combination within 18 months of the Company’s initial public offering (October 25, 2007) or 24 months of the Company’s initial public offering (by April 25, 2008) if certain extension criteria are met.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Services Partners Acquisition Corp. as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, and its results of operations and its cash flows for to the year ended July 31, 2007, for the period from August 10, 2005 (inception) to July 31, 2006 and for the period from August 10, 2005 (inception) to July 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Notes 1 and 8 to the financial statements, the Company is required to consummate a business combination within 18 months of the Company’s initial public offering (by October 25, 2007) or 24 months of the Company’s initial public offering (by April 25, 2008) if certain extension criteria are met. The possibility of such business combination not being consummated raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and the financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Global Services Partners Acquisition Corp.
(a corporation in the development stage)
Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND ACTIVITIES
 
Global Services Partners Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 10, 2005 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with a currently unidentified operating business (a “Target Business”).
 
The Company is considered to be a development stage company and as such the financial statements presented herein are presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.
 
The registration statement for the Company's initial public offering ("Offering") was declared effective on April 18, 2006. The Company consummated the Offering on April 25, 2006 for net proceeds of approximately $31.6 million. The Company's management has broad authority with respect to the application of the proceeds of the Offering although substantially all of the proceeds of the Offering are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar transaction with a Target Business (a "Business Combination"). An amount of $31,430,580 (which includes accrued interest of $84,647 as of July 31, 2007) is being held in an interest-bearing trust account (“Trust Fund”) to be returned to the holders of Class B common stock if a Business Combination is not contracted in 18 months October 25, 2007, or consummated in 24 months April 25, 2008, subsequent to the Offering (the "Target Business Acquisition Period"). In the event there is no Business Combination, the Company will dissolve and any remaining net assets, after the distribution of the Trust Fund to Class B stockholders, will be distributed to the holders of common stock sold in the Offering.
 
Both the Company's common stock and Class B common stock have one vote per share. However, the Class B common stockholders may, and the common stockholders may not, vote in connection with a Business Combination. Further, should a Business Combination not be consummated during the Target Business Acquisition Period, the Trust Fund would be distributed pro-rata to all of the Class B common stockholders and their Class B common shares would be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares. Common stockholders will receive none of the proceeds from the Trust Fund should a Business Combination not be consummated.
 
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, is obliged to submit such transaction for approval by a majority of the Class B common stockholders of the Company. Class B common stockholders that vote against such proposed Business Combination are, under certain conditions, entitled to convert their shares into a pro-rata distribution from the Trust Fund (the "Conversion Right"). The actual per-share conversion price will be equal to the amount in the Trust Fund (inclusive of any interest thereon) as of two business days prior to the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of Class B shares sold in the Offering, or approximately $5.26 per share based on the value of the Trust Fund as of July 31, 2007. As a result of the Conversion Right, $6,282,974 (including accretion of $246,194 through July 31, 2007) has been classified in Common Stock, Class B subject to possible conversion on the accompanying balance sheet as of July 31, 2007. In the event that holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock vote for the approval of the Business Combination and that holders owning 20% or more of the outstanding Class B common stock do not exercise their Conversion Rights, the Business Combination may then be consummated. Upon completion of such Business Combination and the payment of any Conversion Rights (and related cancellation of Class B common stock), the remaining shares of Class B common stock would be converted to common stock.

As of July 31, 2007 the Company has incurred and deferred $17,404 of costs related to a potential merger. (See Note 8)

NOTE 2 - OFFERING
 
In the Offering, effective April 18, 2006 (closed on April 25, 2006), the Company sold to the public an aggregate of 460,000 Series A Units (the “Series A Units” or a “Series A Unit”) and 2,990,000 Series B Units (the “Series B Units” or a “Series B Unit”) at a price of $8.50 and $10.10 per unit, respectively inclusive of an over-allotment option issued to the underwriters to purchase additional Series A Units and Series B Units, which was exercised in full. Proceeds from the Offering, totaled approximately $31.6 million, which was net of approximately $2.5 million in underwriting and other expenses incurred through April 25, 2006, the consummation of the offering. Each Series A Unit consists of two shares of the Company's common stock, and ten Class Z Warrants (each a "Class Z Warrant"). Each Series B Unit consists of two shares of the Company's Class B common stock, and two Class W Warrants (each a “Class W Warrant”).
 
The Company also sold to certain of the underwriters of the offering for an aggregate of $100, an option (the “Underwriter’s Purchase Option” or “UPO”) to purchase up to a total of 20,000 additional Series A Units and/or 130,000 additional Series B Units (see Note 7).
 
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Included in cash and cash equivalents are deposits with financial institutions as well as short-term money market instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Concentration of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. However, management believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.

Deferred Acquisition Costs - Costs related to proposed acquisitions are capitalized and in the event the acquisition does not occur, the costs are expensed.

Investments Held in Trust/Income Taxes - The Company’s restricted investment held in the Trust Fund at July 31, 2007 is comprised of Commonwealth of Virginia securities with maturities of up to 30 days. The amounts held in the Trust Fund recognized interest income of $980,953 for the year ended July 31, 2007, $250,627 for the year ended July 31, 2006 and $1,231,580 from inception (August 10, 2005) to July 31, 2007, which is included in interest income on the accompanying statement of operations. Such securities generate current income which is exempt from federal income tax and the income tax imposed by the Commonwealth of Virginia and therefore no provision for income taxes is required for the period ended July 31, 2007.

Net Income Per Share - Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and Class B common stock outstanding.

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common and Class B stockholders by their weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Calculation of the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period was comprised of 920,100 common shares and 4,784,598 Class B shares outstanding after the effective date of the offering in April 2006. Basic net income per share subject to possible conversion is calculated by dividing accretion of Trust Fund relating to Class B Common Shares subject to possible conversion by 1,195,402 Class B Shares subject to possible conversion. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Since the effect of outstanding warrants to purchase common stock and the UPO were antidilutive as the exercise prices of such securities were below the average fair value of the Company’s common stock during the period presented, they have been excluded from the Company’s computation of net income per share.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivatives - The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under SFAS No. 107 approximate their carrying amounts presented in the balance sheet at July 31, 2007.
 
The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended, (“SFAS 133”) which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments imbedded in other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Accounting for the changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedge relationships and the types of the relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are not designated as hedges are recognized in earnings as other income (loss).

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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 and are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements - In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance in derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s balance sheets or statements of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements “SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will evaluate the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (CONTINUED)
 
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 159, an entity may elect the fair value option for eligible items that exist at the adoption date. Subsequent to the initial adoption, the election of the fair value option should only be made at initial recognition of the asset or liability or upon a remeasurement event that gives rise to new-basis accounting. SFAS No. 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value nor does it eliminate disclosure requirements included in other accounting standards. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and may be adopted earlier but only if the adoption is in the first quarter of the fiscal year. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
NOTE 4 - TAXES

Income Taxes

No provisions for federal income taxes has been made since the Company’s interest income is earned from investments in Commonwealth of Virginia and Commonwealth of Maryland securities which are exempt from federal and Virginia state taxation.

HCFP has been engaged by the Company to act as the Company’s non-exclusive investment banker in connection with a proposed Business Combination. For assisting the Company in structuring and negotiating the terms of a Business Combination, the Company will pay HCFP a cash transaction fee of $900,000 upon consummation of the combination.

Solicitation Services 

The Company has engaged HCFP, on a non-exclusive basis, to act as its agent for the solicitation of the exercise of the Company’s Class W Warrants and Class Z Warrants. In consideration for solicitation services, the Company agreed to pay HCFP a commission equal to 5% of the exercise price for each Class W Warrant and Class Z Warrant exercised after April 18, 2007 if the exercise is solicited by HCFP. No services have been provided to date.

NOTE 6 - CAPITAL STOCK
 
Preferred Stock 

The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000 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.

Common Stock and Class B Common Stock 

The Company is authorized to issue 24,000,000 shares of common stock and 7,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. As of July 31, 2007, there are 920,100 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding and 5,980,000 shares of the Company’s Class B stock issued and outstanding, including 1,195,402 Class B common shares subject to possible conversion.

As of July 31, 2007, there are 2,684,900 and 1,020,000 authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s Class B common stock, respectively, available for future issuance, after appropriate reserves for the issuance of common stock in connection with the Class W Warrants and Class Z Warrants, the Underwriters Purchase Option and the officer’s and director’s Class W Warrants and Class Z Warrants.

The Company currently has no commitments to issue any shares of common stock other than as described herein; however, the Company will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional shares in connection with a Business Combination. To the extent that additional shares of common stock are issued, dilution to the interests of the Company’s stockholders who participated in the Offering will occur.

NOTE 7 - WARRANTS AND OPTION TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
 
Warrants
 
In August, 2005, the Company sold and issued Class W Warrants to purchase 1,537,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, and Class Z Warrants to purchase 1,537,500 shares of the Company’s common stock to its initial securityholders, for an aggregate purchase price of $153,750, or $0.05 per warrant.
 
The Class W and Class Z Warrants held by the initial securityholders are also subject to a registration rights agreement. The Class W Warrants and Class Z Warrants outstanding prior to the Offering may be exercised with cash on or prior to their respective expiration dates. Although the Company’s initial securityholders may make a written demand that the Company file a registration statement, the Company is only required to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective and, once effective, only to use its best efforts to maintain its effectiveness. Accordingly, because the Company’s obligation is merely to use its best efforts in connection with the registration rights agreement and upon exercise of the warrants, the Company can satisfy its obligation by delivering unregistered shares of common stock. Each Class W Warrant issued in the Offering and to the initial securityholders is exercisable for one share of common stock. Except as set forth below, the Class W Warrants entitle the holder to purchase shares at $5.00, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends and splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar events, for a period commencing on the later of: (a) completion of the Business Combination and (b) April 18, 2007 and ending April 17, 2011. As of July 31, 2007, there were 7,517,500 Class W Warrants outstanding.

NOTE 7 - WARRANTS AND OPTION TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK-(CONTINUED)
 
Each Class Z Warrant issued in the Offering and to the initial securityholders is exercisable for one share of common stock. Except as set forth below, the Class Z Warrants entitle the holder to purchase shares at $5.00, subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends and splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar events, for a period commencing on the later of: (a) completion of the Business Combination and (b) April 18, 2007 and ending April 17, 2013. As of July 31, 2007, there were 6,137,500 Class Z Warrants outstanding.
 
The Class W Warrants and Class Z Warrants outstanding prior to the Offering, all of which are held by the Company’s initial securityholders or their affiliates, shall not be redeemable by the Company as long as such warrants continue to be held by such securityholders or their affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Company may redeem the Class W Warrants and/or Class Z Warrants with the prior consent of HCFP, the representative of the underwriters in the Offering, in whole or in part, at a price of $.05 per warrant at any time after the warrants become exercisable, upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, and if, and only if, the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $7.50 per share and $8.75 per share, for a Class W Warrant and Class Z Warrant, respectively, for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days before the Company sent the notice of redemption (the “Measurement Period”). In addition, the Company may not redeem the Class W Warrants and/or the Class Z Warrants unless the shares of common stock underlying such warrants are covered by an effective registration statement.
 
The Class W Warrants and Class Z Warrants issued may be exercised with cash on or prior to their respective expiration dates. However, the Class W Warrants and Class Z Warrants issued will not be exercisable unless at the time of exercise the Company has a current prospectus relating to the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and the common stock has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the applicable securities laws. Accordingly if the warrants are not able to be exercised such warrants may expire worthless. The Company has no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the warrants.
 
The holders of Class W Warrants and Class Z Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of the Company’s common stock or any voting rights until such holders exercise their respective warrants and receive shares of the Company’s common stock. As the proceeds from the exercise of the Class W Warrants and Class Z Warrants will not be received until after the completion of a Business Combination, the expected proceeds from exercise will not have any effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations prior to a Business Combination.
 
Underwriter Purchase Option
 
In connection with the Offering, the Company was issued to certain of the underwriters an option (the “UPO”) for an aggregate of $100 to purchase up to 20,000 Series A Units at an exercise price of $14.025 per unit and/or up to 130,000 Series B Units at an exercise price of $16.665 per unit on the later of (a) completion of a Business Combination and (b) April 18, 2007 and ending April 17, 2011. The fair value of the UPO, inclusive of the receipt of the $100 cash payment, was accounted for as an expense of the Offering resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in-capital. The Company determined the fair value of the UPO of approximately $360,000 using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the UPO granted was estimated as of the date of issuance using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 37.566%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 4.92% and (3) contractual life of 5 years. The UPO may be exercised for cash or on a “cashless” basis, at the holder’s option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the UPO (the difference between the exercise prices of the UPO and the underlying warrants and the market price of the units and underlying securities) to exercise the UPO without the payment of any cash. Each of the Series A Units and Series B Units included in the UPO are identical to the Series A Units and Series B Units sold in the Offering, except that the exercise price of the Class W Warrants underlying the Series B Units and the Class Z Warrants underlying the Series A Units will be $5.50 per share and the Class Z Warrants underlying the Series A Units shall only be exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the Offering.
 
F-12

 
NOTE 7 - WARRANTS AND OPTION TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK-(CONTINUED)

The Company has no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the UPO or the warrants underlying the UPO. The holder of the UPO will not be entitled to exercise the UPO or the warrants underlying the UPO unless a registration statement covering the securities underlying the UPO is effective or an exemption from registration is available. If the holder is unable to exercise the UPO or underlying warrants, the UPO or warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless.
 
NOTE 8 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
On October 18th and 19th, 2007, the Company entered into two letters of intent (the “LOIs”) with two separate target companies relating to the proposed business combinations. As a result of entering into the LOIs, the Company extended the time in which it must complete a business combination with either of these target companies until April 25, 2008.
