PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
     Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation is a blank check company formed on September 1, 2005 to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with an operating business in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries.
     On February 21, 2006, we closed our initial public offering of 10,000,000 units with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant, each to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. On March 1, 2006, we consummated the closing of an additional 1,000,000 units which were subject to the over-allotment option. The units from the initial public offering (including the over-allotment option) were sold at an offering price of $8.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $88,000,000. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds to us from the offering (including the over-allotment option) were approximately $80,997,000, of which $79,340,000 was deposited into the trust account and the remaining proceeds of $1,657,000 became available to be used to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses. Through December 31, 2006, we have used approximately $688,000 of the net proceeds that were not deposited into the trust fund to pay general and administrative expenses. The net proceeds deposited into the trust fund remain on deposit in the trust fund earning interest. As of December 31, 2006, there was $86,342,513 held in the trust fund.
     We are not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any substantive commercial business until we consummate a business combination. We intend to utilize our cash, including the funds held in the trust account, capital stock, debt or a combination of the foregoing in effecting a business combination. A business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself. These include time delays, significant expense, loss of voting control and compliance with various Federal and state securities laws. In the alternative, we may seek to consummate a business combination with a company that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth.
Selection of a target business and structuring of a business combination
     Subject to the requirement that our initial business combination must be with one or more operating businesses that, individually or collectively, have a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,640,000) at the time of such acquisition, our management has virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting prospective target businesses. However, subject to fluctuations in the economy in general, and the transportation and logistics sector and related industries in particular, we are currently concentrating on prospective target businesses with historic or prospective annual revenues of between $100 million and $500 million, that are at or near profitability, and which have recent or potential earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of between $8 million and $40 million, in each case assuming an acquisition value that is equivalent to the available net proceeds held in the trust account. We established the above criteria for prospective target businesses based upon the experience of our officers and directors within the transportation and logistics sector and related industries. Our management diligently reviews all of the proposals we receive with respect to prospective target businesses. In evaluating prospective target businesses, our management considers, among other factors, the following:
    financial condition and results of operation;
 
    cash-flow potential;
 
    growth potential;
 
    experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel;
 
    capital requirements;
 
    competitive position;
 
    barriers to entry by competitors;

2


 

    regulatory environment of the industry; and
 
    costs associated with effecting the business combination.
     The above factors reflect criteria that our management considers material when evaluating a prospective target business. These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular business combination with one or more operating businesses will be 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 prospective target businesses, we intend to 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.
Fair Market Value of Target Business
     The initial target businesses that we acquire must have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,640,000), at the time of such acquisition. The fair market value of such businesses 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 businesses have a sufficient fair market value or if a conflict of interest exists with respect to such determination, we will obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated, independent investment banking firm which is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or NASD, with respect to the satisfaction of such criteria. However, we are not required to obtain an opinion from an investment banking firm as to the fair market value if our board of directors independently determines that the target businesses have sufficient fair market value. We expect that any such opinion will be included in our proxy soliciting materials furnished to our stockholders in connection with a business combination, and that such independent investment banking firm will be a consenting expert.
Opportunity for stockholder approval of business combination
     Prior to the completion of a business combination, we will submit the transaction to our stockholders for approval, even if the nature of the acquisition is such as would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable state law. In connection with seeking stockholder approval of a business combination, we will furnish our stockholders with proxy solicitation materials prepared in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which, among other matters, will include a description of the operations of the target business and certain required financial information regarding the business.
     In connection with the vote required for our initial business combination, all of our initial stockholders, including all of our officers and directors, have agreed to vote the shares of common stock owned by them immediately before the initial public offering in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders; however, they may cast votes with respect to any shares of common stock acquired in connection with or following the initial public offering in any manner as they may determine in their discretion. As a result, an initial stockholder who acquired shares during or after the initial public offering may vote against the proposed business combination with respect to those shares, and retain the right to exercise the conversion rights attributable to such shares in the event that a business combination transaction is approved by a majority of our public stockholders. We will proceed with the business combination only if a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders are voted in favor of the business combination and public stockholders owning less than 20% of the shares sold in the initial public offering exercise their conversion rights.
Conversion rights
     At the time we seek stockholder approval of any business combination, we will offer each public stockholder the right to have such stockholder’s shares of common stock converted to cash if the stockholder votes against the business combination and the business combination is approved and completed. The actual per-share conversion price will be equal to the net proceeds in the trust account, inclusive of any interest but net of any taxes (calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed business combination), divided by the number of shares of common stock sold in the initial public offering. The underwriters have agreed to forego receiving any deferred underwriting discounts and commissions with respect to any shares our public stockholders

3


 

have elected to convert into cash pursuant to such conversion rights. Based on the balance in the trust account as of December 31, 2006, the per share conversion price would be approximately $7.85. An eligible stockholder may request conversion at any time after the mailing to our stockholders of the proxy statement and prior to the vote taken with respect to a proposed business combination at a meeting held for that purpose, but the request will not be granted unless the stockholder votes against the business combination and the business combination is approved and completed. Any request for conversion, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the date of the meeting. It is anticipated that the funds to be distributed to stockholders entitled to convert their shares who elect conversion will be distributed promptly after completion of a business combination. Public stockholders who convert their stock into their share of the trust account still have the right to exercise the warrants that they received as part of the units. We will not complete any business combination if public stockholders, owning 20% or more of the shares sold in the initial public offering, both vote against a business combination, and, subsequently, exercise their conversion rights.
Liquidation if no business combination
     If we do not complete a business combination by August 21, 2007, or by February 21, 2008 if the extension criteria described below have been satisfied, we will be dissolved and will distribute to all of our public stockholders, in proportion to their respective equity interests, an aggregate sum equal to the net proceeds in the trust account, inclusive of any interest but net of any taxes, plus any remaining net assets. Our initial stockholders have agreed to waive their respective rights to participate in any liquidation distribution occurring upon our failure to consummate a business combination, but only with respect to those shares of common stock acquired by them prior to the initial public offering; they will participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to any shares of common stock acquired in connection with or following the initial public offering. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our warrants, including our initial stockholder warrants, and all rights with respect to our warrants will effectively cease upon our liquidation.
     If we enter into either a letter of intent, an agreement in principle or a definitive agreement to complete a business combination prior to August 21, 2007, but are unable to complete the business combination prior to this date, then we will have an additional six months in which to complete the business combination contemplated by the letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement. If we are unable to do so by February 21, 2008, we will then liquidate. Upon notice from us, the trustee of the trust account will commence liquidating the investments constituting the trust account and will turn over the proceeds to our transfer agent for distribution to our public stockholders. We anticipate that our instruction to the trustee would be given promptly after the expiration of the applicable time periods.
     Our public stockholders will be entitled to receive funds from the trust account only in the event of our liquidation or if the stockholders seek to convert their respective shares into cash upon a business combination which the stockholder voted against and which is actually completed by us. In no other circumstances, except as required by applicable law, will a stockholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account.
     If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering, other than the proceeds deposited in the trust account, the per-share liquidation price as of December 31, 2006 would have been approximately $7.85. However, the proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of our creditors which could be prior to the claims of our public stockholders. If we are unable to complete a business combination and are forced to liquidate, James Martell, our chairman, and Gregory Burns, our president and chief executive officer and a director, will be personally liable under certain circumstances (for example, if a vendor does not waive any rights or claims to the trust account) to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of certain prospective target businesses and vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or products sold to us.
Competition
     In identifying, evaluating and selecting target businesses, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours. Many of these entities 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. While we believe there are numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an

4


 

advantage in pursuing the acquisition of target businesses. Further:
    our obligation to seek stockholder approval of a business combination may delay or threaten the completion of a transaction;
 
    our obligation to convert into cash shares of common stock held by our public stockholders in certain instances may reduce the resources available to us for a business combination; and
 
    our outstanding 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. Our management believes, however, that our status as a public entity and potential access to the United States public equity markets may give us a competitive advantage over privately-held entities having a similar business objective as ours in acquiring a target business on favorable terms.
     If we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors of the target businesses. In particular, certain industries which experience rapid growth frequently attract an increasingly larger number of competitors, including competitors with increasingly greater financial, marketing, technical, human and other resources than the initial competitors in the industry. The degree of competition characterizing the industry of any prospective target business cannot presently be ascertained. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources to compete effectively, especially to the extent that the target businesses are in high-growth industries.
Employees
          We currently have three officers, two of whom are also members of our board of directors. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters and devote only as much time as they deem necessary to our affairs. The amount of time they devote in any time period depends upon the availability of suitable target businesses to investigate. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
          In addition to other information included in this report, the following factors should be considered in evaluating our business and future prospects.
Risks associated with our business
We are a development stage company with no operating history and, accordingly, you will have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective and our ability to continue as a going concern.
          We are a recently incorporated development stage company with no operating results to date. 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 one or more operating businesses in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries. We will not generate any revenues (other than interest income on the proceeds of the initial public offering) until, at the earliest, after the consummation of a business combination. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the consummation of an initial business combination in the required timeframe. We cannot assure you that a business combination will occur.
We may not be able to consummate a business combination within the required time frame, in which case, we would be forced to liquidate.
          We must complete a business combination with one or more operating businesses whose fair market value, either individually or collectively, is at least 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,640,000), at the time of acquisition by August 21, 2007 (or February 21, 2008 if a letter of intent, agreement in principle or a definitive agreement has been executed by August 21, 2007 and the business combination relating thereto has not yet been consummated). If we fail to consummate a business combination within the required time frame, we will be forced to liquidate our assets. We may not be able to find suitable target businesses within the required time frame. In addition, our negotiating position and our ability to conduct adequate due diligence on any potential target may be reduced as we approach the deadline for the consummation of a business combination.

5


 

If third parties have claims against us, the net proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders will be less than $7.85 per share.
          Our placing of funds in trust may not protect those funds from third party claims against us. Although we seek to have all vendors, prospective target businesses or other entities execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the trust account for the benefit of our public stockholders, there is no guarantee that they or any other entity providing comparable products or services will execute such agreements. Nor is there any guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Accordingly, the net proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims which could take priority over the claims of our public stockholders and the per-share liquidation price could be less than $7.85 due to claims of such creditors. If we are unable to complete a business combination and are forced to liquidate, James Martell, our chairman, and Gregory Burns, our president and chief executive officer and a director, will be personally liable under certain circumstances (for example, if a vendor does not waive any rights or claims to the trust account) to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced by the claims of certain prospective target businesses and vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or products sold to us. However, we cannot assure you that Messrs. Martell and Burns will be able to satisfy those obligations.
We will likely seek a business combination with one or more privately-held companies, which may present certain challenges to us, including the lack of available information about these companies and a greater vulnerability to economic downturns.
          In accordance with our acquisition strategy, we will likely seek a business combination with one or more privately-held companies. Generally, very little public information exists about these companies, and we are required to rely on the ability of our management team to obtain adequate information to evaluate the potential returns from investing in these companies. If we are unable to uncover all material information about these companies, then we may not make a fully informed investment decision, and we may lose money on our investments. Also, privately-held companies frequently have a smaller market presence than do larger competitors. Privately-held companies are, thus, generally more vulnerable to economic downturns and may experience more substantial variations in operating results than do larger competitors. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations subsequent to completion of a business combination, such as a significant reduction in our revenues and net income.
Resources could be wasted in researching acquisitions that are not consummated, which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business.
          The investigation of each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting, and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents, and other instruments requires substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys, and others. If a decision is made not to complete a specific business combination, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached relating to a specific target business, we may fail to consummate the transaction for any number of reasons including those beyond our control such as that more than 19.99% of our public shareholders vote against the transaction and opt to convert their stock into a pro rata share of the trust account even if a majority of our shareholders approve the transaction. Any such event will result in a loss to us of the related costs incurred which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire or merge with another business.
We may issue shares of our capital stock, including through convertible 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 Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share. There currently are 373,227,273 authorized but unissued shares of our common stock available for issuance (after appropriate reservation for the issuance of shares upon full exercise of the outstanding warrants, including the 2,272,727 initial stockholder warrants) and all of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock available for issuance. Although we have no commitments at this time to issue any securities, we may issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock or preferred stock, or a combination of both, including through convertible debt securities, to complete a business combination. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock or any number of shares of preferred stock, including upon conversion of any debt securities:

6


 

    may significantly reduce the equity interest of current investors;
 
    will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock or voting preferred stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and likely result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and
 
    may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
We may issue notes or other debt securities, or otherwise incur substantial debt, to complete a business combination, which may adversely affect our leverage and financial condition.
          Although we have no commitments at this time to issue any notes or other debt securities, or to otherwise incur outstanding debt, we may choose to issue a substantial amount of notes or other debt securities, or opt to incur substantial debt, or a combination of both, to complete a business combination. The issuance of notes or other debt securities, or the incurrence of debt:
    may lead to default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a business combination are insufficient to service our debt obligations;
 
    may cause an acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach the covenants contained in the terms of any debt instruments, such as covenants that require the satisfaction or maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves, without a waiver or renegotiation of such covenants;
 
    may create an obligation to immediately repay all principal and accrued interest, if any, upon demand to the extent any debt securities are payable on demand; and
 
    may hinder our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, to the extent any debt securities contain covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security is outstanding, or to the extent our existing leverage discourages other potential investors.
An effective registration statement may not be in place when an investor desires to exercise warrants, thus precluding such investor from being able to exercise his, her or its warrants and causing such warrants to be practically worthless.
          None of our outstanding warrants will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of common stock unless at the time a holder seeks to exercise such warrant, a prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant is current and the common stock has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. Under the terms of our warrant agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so, and if we do not maintain a current prospectus related to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise their warrants and we will not be required to settle any such warrant exercise. If the prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is not current or if the common stock is not qualified or exempt from qualification in the jurisdictions in which the holders of the warrants reside, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be limited and the warrants may expire worthless.
Our ability to be successful after a business combination will be largely dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel, some of whom may join us following a business combination and may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a public company. This could lead to various regulatory problems that may adversely affect our operations, including significantly reducing our revenues and net income.
          Our ability to successfully effect a business combination will be completely dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel. The future role of our key personnel following a business combination, however, cannot presently be fully ascertained. Specifically, the members of our current management are not obligated to remain with us subsequent to a business combination. We expect most of our management and other key personnel, particularly our chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president, and chief financial officer, treasurer and corporate secretary to remain associated with us following a business combination, which may or may not be included as a condition to a business combination. If we acquire a target business in an all-cash transaction, it would be more likely that current members of management would remain with the combined company if they chose to do so. If a business

7


 

combination were to be structured as a merger whereby the stockholders of the target company were to control the combined company following a business combination, it may be less likely that our current management would remain with the combined company unless it was negotiated as part of the transaction via the acquisition agreement, an employment agreement or other arrangement. In making the determination as to whether current management should remain with us following the business combination, management will analyze the experience and skill set of the target business’ management and negotiate as part of the business combination that certain members of current management remain if it is believed that it is in the best interests of the combined company post-business combination. In addition, we may employ other personnel following the business combination. While we intend to closely scrutinize any additional individuals we engage after a business combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment of these individuals will prove to be correct. These individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating a public company as well as United States securities laws which could cause us to have to expend time and resources helping them become familiar with such laws.
This could be expensive and time-consuming and could lead to various regulatory problems that may adversely affect our operations, including significantly reducing our revenues and net income.
If our current management were to negotiate to be retained by our company following a business combination as a condition to any potential business combination, such negotiations may result in a conflict of interest.
          Our current management will only be able to remain with the combined company after the consummation of a business combination if they are able to negotiate mutually agreeable employment terms as part of any such combination, which terms would be disclosed to stockholders in any proxy statement relating to such transaction. The financial interest of our officers and directors could influence their motivation in selecting a target business and thus, there may be a conflict of interest when determining whether a particular business combination is in the stockholders’ best interest.
The loss of key executives could adversely affect our ability to operate.
          Our operations are dependent upon a relatively small group of key executives. We believe that our success depends on the continued service of our key executive management team, at least until we have consummated a business combination. We cannot assure you that such individuals will remain with us for the immediate or foreseeable future. We do not have employment agreements with any of our current executives. The unexpected loss of the services of one or more of these executives could have a detrimental effect on us.
Our officers and directors have limited or no experience in managing “blank check” companies which may have an adverse impact on our prospects, and our ability to consummate a business combination.
          Although our officers and directors have experience in consummating acquisitions and managing public companies, our officers and directors do not have experience in managing “blank check” companies. Such limited experience may have an adverse impact on our ability to consummate a business combination.
Our officers and directors may allocate their time to other businesses, thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs. This could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate a business combination.
          Our officers and directors are not required to, and will not, 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 will not have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination. Each of our officers are engaged in several other business endeavors and are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs. For example, Gregory Burns, our chief executive officer and president, currently serves as the president of Blue Line Advisors, Inc., a private company wholly-owned and controlled by Mr. Burns that provides strategic consulting services to companies in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries. In addition, James Martell, our chairman, currently serves on the board of directors of a number of private companies. While it is our executive officers’ intention to devote a portion of their business time to identifying potential targets and consummating a business combination, the amount of time devoted will vary depending on the potential business combination. Further, their other business affairs could require them to devote more substantial amounts of time to such affairs in excess of their current commitment levels, thereby limiting

8


 

their ability to devote sufficient time to our affairs. This could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate a business combination. We cannot assure you that these conflicts will be resolved in our favor.
Because all of our directors own securities of ours that will not participate in liquidation distributions, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is appropriate for a business combination.
          All of our directors own stock in our company, but have, with respect to those shares of common stock acquired by them prior to the initial public offering, waived their right to receive distributions upon our liquidation in the event we fail to complete a business combination. Additionally, our initial stockholders purchased, collectively, 2,272,727 initial stockholder warrants concurrently with the closing of the initial public offering in a separate private placement. Those shares and warrants owned by our directors will be worthless if we do not consummate a business combination. The personal and financial interests of our directors may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting target businesses and completing a business combination in a timely manner. Consequently, our directors’ discretion in identifying and selecting suitable target businesses 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.
If our common stock becomes subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected, and you may find it more difficult to sell our securities.
          If at any time we have net tangible assets of $5,000,000 or less and our common stock has a market price per share of less than $5.00, transactions in our common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:
    make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;
 
    receive the purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale;
 
    provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in “penny stocks” and which describe the market for these “penny stocks” as well as the 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 becomes subject to these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effect customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected. As a result, the market price of our securities may become depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our securities.
It is probable that we will only be able to complete one business combination, which may cause us to be solely dependent on a single business and a limited number of products or services.
          While we may seek to effect a business combination with more than one target business, our initial business acquisition must be with one or more operating businesses whose fair market value is, individually or collectively, at least equal to 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,640,000), at the time of such acquisition. We may not be able to acquire more than one target business because of various factors, including insufficient financing or the difficulties inherent in consummating the contemporaneous acquisition of more than one operating business. Therefore, it is possible that we will only be able to complete an initial business combination with a single operating business, which may have only a limited number of products or services. The resulting lack of diversification may:
    result in our dependency upon the performance of a single or small number of operating businesses;
 
    result in our dependency upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services; and
 
    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.

9


 

     In this case, we will not be able to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single industry so as to diversify risks and offset losses. Further, the prospects for our success may be entirely dependent upon the future performance of the initial target business or businesses we acquire.
     In addition, since our business combination may entail the contemporaneous acquisition of several operating businesses and may be with different sellers, we will need to convince such sellers to agree that the purchase of their businesses is contingent upon the simultaneous closings of the other acquisitions.
Because of our limited resources and the significant competition for business combination opportunities, we may not be able to consummate an attractive business combination.
          We expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including 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. In addition, we may not have enough cash available from funds outside of the trust account to make deposits or fund a “no-shop” provision in connection with a particular business combination which may cause us to be at a competitive disadvantage in pursuing the acquisition of target businesses. While we believe that there are numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. Further:
    our obligation to seek stockholder approval of a business combination may delay the consummation of a transaction;
 
    our obligation to convert into cash shares of our common stock in certain instances may reduce the resources available for a business combination; and
 
    our outstanding warrants, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses.
          Any of these obligations may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating and completing a business combination.
     In addition, because our business combination may entail the contemporaneous acquisition of several operating businesses and may be with several different sellers, we will need to convince such sellers to agree that the purchase of their businesses is contingent upon the simultaneous closings of the other acquisitions.
Risks associated with the transportation and logistics sector and related industries
The transportation and logistics sector and related industries are subject to general economic and business factors, which may adversely impact sales and profitability of a target company.
          Historically, economic and market shifts have created cyclical changes in prices, sales volume and margins for the transportation and logistics sector and related industries. These factors include significant increases or rapid fluctuations in fuel costs, excess capacity, surpluses in the market for used equipment, interest rates, fuel taxes, license and registration fees, insurance premiums, self-insurance levels and difficulty attracting and retaining qualified personnel.
     In addition, transportation and logistics companies are affected by recessionary economic cycles, changes in inventory levels, and downturns in customers’ business cycles, particularly in market segments and industries where they have a significant concentration of customers. Economic conditions may adversely affect such companies’ customers, their need for transportation and logistics services or their ability to pay for such services. The foregoing factors could materially and adversely impact sales and profitability of a target company with which we might seek a business combination.
A disruption in the supply of or increase in the cost of fuel would lead to higher transportation costs, thereby reducing margins.
          Fuel is a significant raw material in the transportation and logistics industries. In recent years there have been disruptions of supply and prices of natural gas and fuel oil have been volatile, currently exceeding historical averages. These fluctuations have

10


 

historically impacted the costs of companies in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries, often contributing to earnings volatility. While the costs of higher fuel may be passed along to customers in the long-term through fuel surcharges, recent significant increases in fuel prices can be expected to adversely impact businesses in these industries in the near term, and may significantly reduce their profit margins as a result.
Seasonality and the impact of weather can materially affect the operations of transportation and logistics companies, which may have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of a target company with which we might seek a business combination, such as a significant reduction in the target company’s revenues and net income.
          The productivity of transportation and logistics companies often decreases during the winter season due to reduced demand for transportation and logistics services, as well as the impact of inclement weather upon operations. At the same time, operating expenses generally increase during the winter season as a result of the impact of harsh weather on accident frequency and related liability claims. These seasonal fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and results of operations of a target company with which we might seek a business combination, such as a significant reduction in the target company’s revenues and net income.
Transportation and logistics companies face strong competition, which could impair a target company’s ability to maintain its profitability and to compete with other providers of similar transportation and logistics services.
          The transportation and logistics sector, including related industries, is highly fragmented, and a target company will face competition from numerous competitors, domestic and foreign. Numerous factors could impair a target company’s ability to maintain its profitability and to compete with other providers of similar transportation and logistics services. It is likely that some of a target company’s competitors will be large, vertically integrated companies that have greater financial and other resources, greater economies of scale, greater self-sufficiency and lower operating costs than the target company.
Certain shippers may refuse to use the services of non-asset based transportation and logistics companies because they operate primarily through agents or owner-operators, which could materially limit a target company’s ability to expand. operations.
          Certain high-volume shippers have determined that their freight must be handled by transportation and logistics companies that use company-employed operators and equipment, in order to obtain more control over service standards. We may seek a business combination with a non-asset based transportation and logistics company that operates through agents or owner-operators, rather than maintaining its own equipment and facilities. Such a target company may have difficulty competing for the business of high-volume shippers that prefer company maintained equipment and facilities, which could materially limit its ability to expand operations.
Transportation and logistics companies frequently self-insure for a significant portion of their potential liability for accident liability, workers’ compensation and general liability claims, and the occurrence of one or more significant claims could have a materially adverse impact on such companies’ financial condition and results of operations, such as a significant reduction in the target company’s net income and available capital.
          While transportation and logistics companies typically maintain insurance for individual accident liability, workers’ compensation and general liability claims, such insurance is often limited in coverage. Such companies often self-insure for any amounts incurred above the maximum amounts provided under their existing insurance policies. In addition, such companies will often be responsible for all of the legal expenses related to claims, or the portion of claims, that they self-insure. Transportation and logistics companies also may choose not to establish reserves for anticipated losses and expenses related to cargo and property damage claims, as well as accident liability, workers’ compensation and general liability claims.
     The nature of transportation and logistics industry is that accidents occur and, when they do, they frequently result in property damage, as well as injuries or death. If a target company with which we might seek a business combination experiences claims that are not covered by its insurance or that exceed its reserves, or if it experiences claims for which coverage is not provided, it could increase the volatility of that target company’s earnings and have a materially adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations, such as a significant reduction in the target company’s net income and available capital.
In order to continue growth, companies operating in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries typically need to increase the volume and revenue per pound of the freight shipped through their system. If a target company fails to increase the volume of the freight shipped through its network or the revenue per pound of the freight shipped, it may be unable to maintain or increase its profitability.

11


 

     Transportation and logistics companies, and particularly those that maintain their own equipment and facilities, depend in significant part on their ability to increase the amount and revenue per pound of the freight shipped through their network in order to increase revenues and net income from operations. Specifically, many asset-based transportation and logistics companies have significant fixed costs as a result of the equipment and facilities that they are required to maintain. The amount of freight shipped through a potential target company’s network and the revenue per pound it receives depend on numerous factors, many of which are beyond the target company’s control, such as economic conditions and the pricing of its competitors. As a result, there can be no guarantee that the amount of freight shipped or the revenue per pound realized by a target company with which we might seek a business combination will increase or even remain at current levels. If a target company fails to increase the volume of the freight shipped through its network or the revenue per pound of the freight shipped, it may be unable to maintain or increase its profitability.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
     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 not generated any revenues (other than interest earned on the proceeds of our initial public offering). As the proceeds from our initial public offering held in the Trust Account have been invested in short term investments, our only market risk exposure relates to fluctuations in interest rates.
     As of December 31, 2006, approximately $86,342,513 of the net proceeds of our initial public offering was held in trust, including interest income, net of taxes, and deferred underwriting fees of $2,640,000, for the purpose of consummating a Business Combination. As of December 31, 2006, the proceeds held in trust have been invested in one or more money market funds which invest principally in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States having a rating in the highest investment category granted thereby by a recognized rating agency at the time of acquisition. The Fund has a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less. As of December 31, 2006, the effective annualized interest rate payable on our investment was approximately 4.7%. Assuming no other changes to our holdings as of December 31, 2006, a 100 basis point decrease in the underlying interest rate payable on our investments as of December 31, 2006 would result in a decrease of approximately $216,000 in the interest earned on our investments for the following 90-day period, and a corresponding decrease in our net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations, if any, for that period.
     We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception on September 1, 2005. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

ITEM 2. PROPERTY
          We maintain our executive offices at 330 Madison Avenue, 6th Floor, New York, New York pursuant to an agreement with Blue Line Advisors, Inc. (“Blue Line”), an affiliate of Gregory E. Burns, our president, chief executive officer and a member of our board of directors. We pay Blue Line 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 New York City metropolitan area, that the fee charged by Blue Line 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.

Initial Public Offering
          February 21, 2006, we closed our initial public offering of 10,000,000 units with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant, each to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share. On March 1, 2006, we consummated the closing of an additional 1,000,000 units which were subject to the over-allotment option. The units from the initial public offering (including the over-allotment option) were sold at an offering price of $8.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $88,000,000. BB&T Capital Markets acted as lead manager for the initial public offering and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. and Brean Murray, Carret & Co. acted as co-managers for the initial public offering. The securities sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-128591).

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes and schedules thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. This Annual Report, including the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, our beliefs, and our assumptions. Words such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, and “estimates” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements including without limitation:
    economic downturns or recessions may impair our prospects for finding a suitable target business for a business combination or the financial condition of a target business once identified;

15


 

    competition from other entities seeking to acquire or make an investment in the transportation-related sector may adversely affect our ability to identify a suitable target business for a business combination or to negotiate an attractive price at which to acquire a target business once identified;
 
    a contraction of available credit and/or an inability to access the equity markets could impair our ability to finance or consummate a business combination;
 
    the risks associated with the possible disruption of the Company’s search for a target business due to terrorism; and
 
    the risks, uncertainties and other factors we identify from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Form 10-Ks, Form 10-Qs and Form 8-Ks.
     Although we believe that the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and as a result, the forward-looking statements based on those assumptions also could be incorrect. In light of these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this Annual Report should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans and objectives will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Annual Report. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect subsequent events.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes and schedules thereto.
     Through December 31, 2006, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to the Offering, activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, and activities relating to general corporate matters; we have not generated any revenues, other than interest income earned on the proceeds of the Offering. As of December 31, 2006, $86,342,513 was held in the Trust Account (including $2,640,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) and we had cash outside of trust of $967,672 and $284,190 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, leaving us with $683,482 available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters.
     For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, we earned approximately $3,440,580 in interest income. All of our funds in the Trust Account are invested in one or more money market funds which invest principally in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States having a rating in the highest investment category granted thereby by a recognized rating agency at the time of acquisition. The Trust Account has a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.
               We have agreed to pay Blue Line Advisors, Inc., a private company wholly-owned and controlled by our chief executive officer and president, Gregory Burns, approximately $7,500 per month for office space and administrative support services.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, we disbursed an aggregate of approximately $723,000, out of the proceeds of our initial public offering not held in trust for the following purposes:
    $73,000 for Delaware franchise taxes;
 
    $30,000 of expenses for organizational activities including Offering marketing expenses, creation of the Company’s website, etc.;
 
    $125,000 for premiums associated with our directors and officers liability insurance:
 
    $265,000 of expenses for due diligence and investigation of prospective target businesses;
 
    $145,000 of expenses in legal, accounting and filing fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations, general corporate matters, and miscellaneous expenses; and
 
    $85,000 to Blue Line Advisors, Inc. for office space and administrative support under terms of an administrative support agreement.
We believe we will have sufficient available funds outside of the Trust Account to operate through February 21, 2008, assuming that a Business Combination is not consummated during that time. However, we cannot assure you this will be the case. Over this time period, we currently anticipate incurring expenses for the following purposes:

16


 

    due diligence and investigation of prospective target businesses;
 
    legal and accounting fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations and general corporate matters;
 
    structuring and negotiating a business combination, including the making of a down payment or the payment of exclusivity or similar fees and expenses; and
 
    other miscellaneous expenses.
As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at December 31, 2006 the Company had out of trust cash of $967,672 and $284,190 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, leaving us with $683,482 available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters.. The Company has incurred and expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the target business acquisition period. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

          Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
          As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our president and treasurer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2006. Based upon their evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
          Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our president and treasurer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (United States). Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (United States), and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our board of directors and management; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
          During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the effectiveness of controls
     A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.

Corporate Governance
     Audit Committee
     Effective February 2006, we established an audit committee of the board of directors, which consists of Edward W. Cook, as chairman, Donald G. McInnes and Maurice Levy, each of whom is an independent director under the American Stock Exchange’s listing standards. The audit committee’s duties, which are specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:
    reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommend to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in our Form 10-K;
 
    discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements;
 
    discussing with management and the independent auditor the effect on our financial statements of (i) regulatory and accounting initiatives and (ii) off-balance sheet structures;
 
    discussing with management major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including our risk assessment and risk management policies;
 
    reviewing disclosures made to the audit committee by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer during their certification process for our Form 10-K and Form 10-Q about any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls or material weaknesses therein and any fraud involving management or other employees who have a significant role in our internal controls;
 
    verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;
 
    reviewing and approving all related-party transactions including analyzing the shareholder base of each target business so as to ensure that we do not consummate a business combination with an entity that is affiliated with our management;
 
    inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
 
    pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

20


 

    appointing or replacing the independent auditor;
 
    reviewing proxy disclosure to ensure that it is in compliance with SEC rules and regulations;
 
    determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work; and
 
    establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies.

21


 

     Financial Experts on Audit Committee
     The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined under the American Stock Exchange listing standards. The American Stock Exchange listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.
     In addition, we must certify to the American Stock Exchange that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication. The board of directors has determined that Edward W. Cook satisfies the American Stock Exchange’s definition of financial sophistication and also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the SEC.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and ten percent stockholders are required by regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on copies of such forms received or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5s were required for those persons, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.
Code of Ethics
     In February 2006, our board of directors adopted a code of ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees as well as those of our subsidiaries. Requests for copies of our code of ethics should be sent in writing to Global Logistics Acquisition Corp., 330 Madison Avenue, 6th Floor, New York, New York 10017.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
     No executive officer has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on February 15, 2006 through the acquisition of a target business, we will pay Blue Line Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of Gregory E. Burns, a fee of $7,500 per month for providing us with office space and certain office and secretarial services. However, this arrangement is solely for our benefit and is not intended to provide Mr. Burns compensation in lieu of a salary. Other than the $7,500 per month administrative fee, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing stockholders, including our directors, 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, such individuals will be 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.

Director Independence

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006, for the period from September 1, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005 and 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Logistics Acquisition Corporation as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006, for the period from September 1, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005 and 2006, 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 Note A to the financial statements, the Company is required to consummate a business acquisition by August 21, 2007, or by February 21, 2008 if the extension criteria are satisfied. The possibility of such acquisition not being consummated within the required time raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GLOBAL LOGISTICS ACQUISITION CORPORATION
(a development stage company)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
NOTE A—ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS; GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATION
The Company was incorporated in Delaware on September 1, 2005. The Company was formed to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of one or more operating businesses in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination. All activity from September 1, 2005 through February 21, 2006 (the date the Company completed the Offering (defined below)) related to the Company’s formation and the Offering as described below. Since February 21, 2006, the Company has been searching for a target business to acquire. The Company has not generated any revenue to date other than interest income earned on the proceeds of the Offering. The Company is considered to be in the development stage and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Offering”) of 10,000,000 units, each consisting of one share of common stock, par value $.0001 (“Shares”), and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (“Warrants”) exercisable for an additional Share, was declared effective on February 15, 2006. The Company consummated the Offering on February 21, 2006. In addition, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option for an additional 1,000,000 units, which units were issued on March 1, 2006. In total, the Company recorded net proceeds of approximately $80,997,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions (including $2,640,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) and offering expenses. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an initial business combination with (or acquisition of) one or more operating businesses in the transportation and logistics sector and related industries (“Business Combination”). The operating businesses that the Company acquires in such Business Combination must have, individually or collectively, a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,640,000) at the time of such acquisition. At December 31, 2006, approximately $86,342,513 (including $2,640,000 deferred underwriting discounts and commissions) of the net proceeds inclusive of interest earned is being held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and is invested in a trust fund which invests in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States having a rating in the highest investment category granted thereby by a registered credit rating agency at the time of the acquisition until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. The remaining proceeds may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, will submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that 20% or more of the outstanding stock (excluding, for this purpose, those shares of common stock issued prior to the Offering) vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated.
With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated (that is, less than 20% of the outstanding stock, excluding, for this purpose, those shares of common stock issued prior to the Offering, vote against the Business Combination), any public stockholder who voted against the Business Combination may demand that the Company convert his or her shares (excluding warrants which are traded separately). The per share conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Account (net of any taxes on earnings in the Trust Account), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock held by public stockholders at the consummation of the Offering. Accordingly, public stockholders holding less than 20% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all public stockholders may seek conversion of their shares even in the event a Business Combination is approved. As a result, a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering (19.99% of the amount held in the Trust Account) inclusive of interest, but net of taxes has been classified as common stock subject to possible conversion in the accompanying December 31, 2006 balance sheet.
In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the date of the consummation of the Offering (or within 24 months after the consummation of the Offering if a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement was executed within such 18-month period) the proceeds held in the Trust Account will be distributed pro rata to the Company’s public stockholders, excluding the initial stockholders to the extent of their initial stock holdings. In the event of such distribution, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units offered in the Offering discussed in Note C).

Going concern consideration — As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at December 31, 2006 the Company had out of trust cash of $967,672 and $284,190 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, leaving us with $683,482 available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters.. The Company has incurred and expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the target business acquisition period. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE B—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[1] Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash equivalents consist of investments in one or more money market funds.
[2] Fair value of financial instruments:
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets, including cash and cash equivalents and investments held in the Trust Account approximate fair value because of their short term maturities.
[3] Earnings per common share:
Basic earnings per common share for all periods is computed by dividing the earnings applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in the money warrants and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
[4] Income Taxes:
Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
[5] Deferred offering costs:
At December 31, 2005 deferred offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, filing and miscellaneous fees related to the Offering and were charged to stockholder’s equity upon completion of the Offering.
[6] Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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.
[7] New Accounting Pronouncement
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), regarding accounting for, and disclosure of, uncertain tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 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 a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact FIN 48 will have on its results of operations and financial position. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings accumulated during the development stage on January 1, 2007.
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
NOTE C— INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On February 21, 2006, the Company sold 10,000,000 units (“Units”) in the Offering for $8.00 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one Share and one Warrant. On March 1, 2006, pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, the Company sold an additional 1,000,000 Units for $8.00 per Unit. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing on the later of (a) February 15, 2007 or (b) the completion of a Business Combination, and expires February 15, 2011. The Warrants are redeemable at a price of $.01 per Warrant upon 30 days notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. Under the terms of the warrant agreement governing the Warrants, the Company is required to use its best efforts to register the Warrants and maintain such registration. After evaluating the Company’s financial statement treatment with respect to the accounting for derivative financial instruments pursuant to FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-19, the Company entered into a First Supplemental Warrant

F-8


 

Agreement (the “Supplemental Agreement”), dated August 21, 2006, with The Bank of New York (the “Warrant Agent”), to amend the Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2006, between the Company and the Warrant Agent in order to clarify that registered holders of the Company’s Warrants do not have the right to receive a net cash settlement or other consideration in lieu of physical settlement in shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All of the Company’s initial stockholders have certain registration rights.
NOTE D—ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND NOTE PAYABLE — RELATED PARTY
Blue Line Advisors, Inc. (“Blue Line”), a private company wholly-owned and controlled by the Company’s chief executive officer and president, Gregory Burns, had advanced a total of $430,000 to the Company through February 21, 2006 which was used to pay a portion of the expenses of the Offering including the SEC registration fee, NASD registration fee, AMEX fees, legal and accounting fees and expenses. These advances were made in three installments: 1) a $50,000 direct payment for pre-offering expenses, reflected as an accounts payable to Blue Line; 2) a $300,000 unsecured promissory note (“Promissory Note”) issued to Blue Line; and 3) a $80,000 direct payment of AMEX fees, reflected as an accounts payable to Blue Line. In accordance with its term, the Promissory Note was repaid on February 22, 2006 from the proceeds of the Offering. In addition, on February 22, 2006, the Company reimbursed Blue Line the additional $130,000 of expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.
NOTE E — INVESTMENTS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT
The Company holds investments in one or more money market funds which invest principally in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States having a rating in the highest investment category granted thereby by a recognized rating agency at the time of acquisition, which are carried at market value.
NOTE F — PREPAID EXPENSES
Prepaid expenses of $56,189 on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 include $53,824 for Directors and Officers Insurance, $1,365 for AMEX listing fees, and $1,000 for Trust account services.
NOTE G — ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accrued expenses of $274,190 on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 include $92,036 of accrued Delaware corporate filing fees, $9,293 of accrued federal, state, and city income taxes, $89,384 of accrued legal fees, and $83,477 of accrued due diligence and transaction related expenses.
NOTE H — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Commencing on February 21, 2006, the Company has agreed to pay Blue Line $7,500 per month for office space and administrative support services. Upon the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Company will no longer be required to pay these monthly fees. During the year, the Company incurred $10,000 in travel expenses for services rendered by a related party.
NOTE I — COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES
In connection with the Offering, the Company agreed to pay underwriting discounts and commissions equal to 7.0% of the gross offering proceeds of the Offering. The underwriters agreed to defer the collection of a portion of these underwriting discounts and commissions totaling 3.0% of the gross offering proceeds and have placed the deferred portion of these fees into the Company’s Trust Account. Such fees will be paid only upon completion of a Business Combination. Accordingly, at December 31, 2006, the Company has accrued deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $2,640,000. The underwriters have agreed to waive any deferred underwriting discounts and commissions with respect to any shares public stockholders have elected to convert into cash pursuant to conversion rights discussed in Note A.
The initial stockholders collectively purchased a total of 2,272,727 warrants concurrently with the closing of the Offering at a price of $1.10 per warrant. The warrants were not issued as part of a Unit or together with any other security. The initial stockholder warrants were purchased separately in a concurrent private placement that closed in conjunction with the Offering. The net proceeds from the sale of the initial stockholder warrants were aggregated together with the net proceeds of the Offering, all of which is held in the Trust Account pending completion of a Business Combination. If the Company fails to complete a Business Combination, the net proceeds from the sale of the initial stockholder warrants will be distributed upon liquidation in the same manner as the net proceeds of the Offering held in the Trust Account.
The initial stockholder warrants are subject to sale and transfer restrictions until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination, and the distribution of the Trust Account to the public stockholders. Commencing on the date the initial stockholder warrants become exercisable, such warrants and the underlying common stock will be entitled to registration rights under an agreement with the Company. The initial stockholders are permitted to transfer the initial stockholder warrants in certain limited

F-9


 

circumstances, such as upon their death, but the transferees receiving such warrants will be subject to the same transfer restrictions imposed on the initial stockholders. With those exceptions, the initial stockholder warrants have terms and conditions that are identical to those of the warrants that were sold as part of the units in the Offering.
