PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
JK Acquisition Corp. ("Company") is a blank check company formed in 2005 to
serve as a vehicle for the acquisition, through a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with a then
unidentified operating business. On April 11, 2006, we completed our IPO of
equity securities, raising net proceeds of $76,632,404. Like most blank check
companies, our certificate of incorporation provides for the return of the IPO
proceeds held in trust to the holders of shares of common stock sold in the IPO
if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated before the
termination date as defined in the certificate of incorporation. Our certificate
of incorporation provides that, upon the termination date, the Company will
cause its officers to distribute the amounts in the Trust Fund (inclusive of
interest) to the holders of IPO Shares within sixty days of the termination
date. Further, our certificate of incorporation requires that after the
distribution of the amounts in the Trust Fund, the officers of the Company shall
take such action necessary to dissolve and liquidate the Company as soon as
reasonably practicable.
Specifically, our certificate of incorporation defines the "termination date" as
the later of the following dates: 18 months after the consummation of the IPO or
24 months after the consummation of the IPO in the event that either a letter of
intent, an agreement in principle or a definitive agreement to complete a
Business Combination was executed but was not consummated within such 18-month
period. On September 6, 2006, the Company, Multi-Shot, LLC ("Multi-Shot") and
various other parties entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger
Agreement") and related agreements. Over the course of this transaction, the
parties twice amended the terms of the Merger Agreement and twice extended the
transaction. On January 31, 2008, the Company announced that the special meeting
of its stockholders to vote on the proposed merger with Multi-Shot had been
cancelled. The Company determined and informed Multi-Shot that the proposed
merger would not receive the votes of its stockholders required for approval.
The agreement and plan of merger governing the proposed merger expired on
January 31, 2008, and the proposed merger with Multi-Shot was abandoned. In view
of the preceding, our board of directors has determined that it is no longer
possible for the Company to consummate a qualifying business combination prior
to the Termination Date. Based upon this determination, our board of directors
is commencing the process of returning to the holders of our common stock the
amounts held in the Trust Fund with interest (net of applicable taxes, if any)
and alternatives for preserving value for stockholders. As of February 28, 2008,
approximately $80,721,782 (approximately $6.10 per IPO Share) was in the Trust
Fund, after establishing a reserve for accrued Delaware franchise taxes in the
amount of approximately $52,042. One alternative for preserving value for
stockholders that is presently under consideration is the continuation of the
Company as a corporate entity (rather than dissolution) after the distribution
of the Trust Fund and the pursuit of an acquisition of one or more operating
companies in one or more industries not now identified. We expect that the
results of our board of directors' evaluations will be presented to stockholders
in the second quarter of 2008.
EMPLOYEES
We have two executive officers, both of whom are members of our board of
directors. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of
hours to our matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem
necessary to our affairs, although we expect for Mr. Wilson to devote
substantial time to our business once we have signed a term sheet with a target
business that provides for a business combination conditioned in part on the
completion of due diligence. The amount of time they will devote in any time
period will vary based on the availability of suitable target businesses to
investigate. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the
consummation of a business combination.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Statements in this Annual Report under the captions "Business" and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", as
well as oral statements that may be made by us or by our officers, directors or
employees acting on our behalf, that are not historical fact constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual
results to be materially different from the historical results or from any
results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors
include, but are not limited to, the risk factors set forth below.
We do not intend to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of
anticipated or unanticipated events.
WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY WITH NO OPERATING HISTORY AND, ACCORDINGLY,
YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY BASIS ON WHICH TO EVALUATE OUR ABILITY TO ACHIEVE OUR
BUSINESS OBJECTIVES.
We will not generate any revenues (other than interest income on the cash held
in trust) until, at the earliest, after the consummation of a business
combination. We cannot assure you as to when or if a business combination will
occur.
WE EXPECT TO LIQUIDATE AND DISTRIBUTE THE TRUST ACCOUNT, AND OUR PUBLIC
STOCKHOLDERS MAY RECEIVE LESS THAN $6.08 PER SHARE UPON DISTRIBUTION OF THE
TRUST ACCOUNT AND OUR WARRANTS MAY EXPIRE WORTHLESS.
The per-share liquidation distribution may be less than $6.08 because of our
general and administrative expenses and the costs of seeking a business
combination. Furthermore, there will be no distribution with respect to our
outstanding warrants, which may expire worthless if we liquidate.
UNDER DELAWARE LAW, THE REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED IN OUR AMENDED
AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION MAY BE AMENDED, WHICH COULD REDUCE OR
ELIMINATE THE PROTECTION AFFORDED TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS BY SUCH REQUIREMENTS AND
RESTRICTIONS.
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, set forth
certain requirements and restrictions that shall apply to us until the
consummation of a business combination. Specifically, our amended and restated
articles of incorporation, as amended, provides, among other things, that:
* prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, we shall
submit such business combination to our stockholders for approval;
* we may consummate our initial business combination if: (i) approved by a
majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public
stockholders, and (ii) public stockholders owning less than 20% of the
shares purchased by the public stockholders in this offering exercise
their conversion rights;
* if our initial business combination is approved and consummated, public
stockholders who voted against the business combination and exercised
their conversion rights will receive their pro rata share of the
trust account;
* if a business combination is not consummated or a letter of intent, an
agreement in principle or a definitive agreement is not signed
within the prescribed time periods, then we will be dissolved and
distribute to all of our public stockholders their pro rata share of
the trust account; and
* we may not consummate any other merger, capital stock exchange, stock
purchase, asset acquisition or similar transaction other than a
business combination that meets the conditions specified in our initial
public offering, including the requirement that our initial business
combination be with one or more operating businesses whose fair
market value, either individually or collectively, is equal to at
least 80% of our net assets at the time of such business combination.
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation prohibit the amendment of the
above-described provisions. However, the validity of provisions prohibiting
amendment of the articles of incorporation under Delaware law has not been
settled. A court could conclude that the prohibition on amendment violates the
stockholders' implicit rights to amend the corporate charter. In that case, the
above-described provisions would be amendable and any such amendment could
reduce or eliminate the protection afforded to our stockholders. However, we
view the foregoing provisions as obligations to our stockholders, and we will
not take any actions to waive or amend any of these provisions.
2
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS WILL ALLOCATE THEIR TIME TO OTHER BUSINESSES THEREBY
CAUSING CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN THEIR DETERMINATION AS TO HOW MUCH TIME TO
DEVOTE TO OUR AFFAIRS, WHICH COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR ABILITY TO
CONSUMMATE A BUSINESS COMBINATION.
Our officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our
affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time
between our operations and other businesses. This could have a negative effect
on our ability to consummate a business combination. We do not intend to have
any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination. All
of our executive officers are engaged in several other business endeavors and
are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours to our affairs,
although we expect Mr. Wilson to devote substantial time to our business during
the process of conducting due diligence on a target company with whom we have
signed a term sheet for a business combination conditioned on the successful
conclusion of due diligence. If our executive officers' or directors' other
business affairs require them to devote more substantial amounts of time to such
affairs, it could limit their ability to devote time to our affairs and could
have a negative impact on our ability to consummate a business combination. For
a complete discussion of the potential conflicts of interest that you should be
aware of, see the section appearing elsewhere in this report entitled
"Management - Conflicts of Interest." We cannot assure you that these conflicts
will be resolved in our favor.
IF THIRD PARTIES BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US, THE PROCEEDS HELD IN TRUST COULD BE
REDUCED AND THE PER SHARE LIQUIDATION PRICE RECEIVED BY STOCKHOLDERS WOULD BE
LESS THAN $6.08 PER SHARE.
Our placing of funds in trust may not protect those funds from third party
claims against us. Messrs. Wilson and Spickelmier have agreed to indemnify us
against any claims by any vendor or other entities that are owed money by us for
services rendered or products sold to us that would reduce the amount of the
funds in the trust. However, we cannot assure you that Messrs. Wilson and
Spickelmier will be able to satisfy those obligations. In addition, such third
party claims may result in the per share conversion price received by the
stockholders who vote against a business combination and elect to convert their
shares into cash being less than approximately $6.08 per share.
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 COULD LIKELY CAUSE A CHANGE IN CONTROL OF OUR OWNERSHIP.
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 50,000,000
shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share. There will be 9,441,665 authorized
but unissued shares of our common stock available for issuance (after
appropriate reservation for the issuance of shares upon full exercise of our
outstanding warrants and the purchase option granted to Ferris, Baker Watts,
Inc.), and all of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock available for
issuance. We may issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common
stock or preferred stock, a combination of common and preferred stock, or debt
securities, to complete a business combination. The issuance of additional
shares of our common stock or any number of shares of our preferred stock:
* may significantly dilute the equity interest of our initial public
offering investors;
* may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if the preferred
stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded to our common
stock;
* could likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our
shares of common stock are issued, which may affect, among other
things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if
any, and most likely also result in the resignation or removal of our
present officers and directors; and
* may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
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 service 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.
3
WE DEPEND ON OUR CURRENT MANAGEMENT TEAM, THE LOSS OF ANY MEMBER OF WHICH COULD
MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS. WE DO NOT CARRY KEY MAN LIFE INSURANCE
AND HAVE NOT REQUIRED NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENTS.
We depend on the services of management to meet our business development
objectives. We would expect to encounter difficulty replacing any of them. The
loss of any person on our management team, or the inability of one or more of
them to devote sufficient attention to our operations, could materially
adversely affect our business and operations. We have not entered into an
employment or a non-competition agreement with any member of management. As a
result, any such member may discontinue providing his services to us at any time
and for any reason, and even thereafter commence competition with us. We do not
carry key person life insurance for any member of our management team.
OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS MAY NOT HAVE SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE OR KNOWLEDGE OF
THE INDUSTRY OF THE TARGET BUSINESS.
We cannot assure you that our officers and directors will have experience or
sufficient knowledge relating to the industry of the target business to make an
appropriate acquisition decision.
SOME OF OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS ARE CURRENTLY, AND MAY IN THE FUTURE BECOME,
AFFILIATED WITH ENTITIES ENGAGED IN BUSINESS ACTIVITIES SIMILAR TO THOSE
INTENDED TO BE CONDUCTED BY US AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY HAVE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
IN DETERMINING TO WHICH ENTITY A PARTICULAR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY SHOULD BE
PRESENTED.
Some of our officers and directors are currently, and may in the future become,
affiliated with entities, including other "blank check" companies, engaged in
business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us.
Additionally, our officers and directors may become aware of business
opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the
other entities to which they have fiduciary obligations. Accordingly, they may
have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business
opportunity should be presented. For a complete discussion of our management's
business affiliations and the potential conflicts of interest that you should be
aware of, see the sections appearing elsewhere in this report entitled
"Management - Directors and Officers" and "Management - Conflicts of Interest."
We cannot assure you that these conflicts will be resolved in our favor.
NONE OF OUR OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS HAVE EVER BEEN A PRINCIPAL OF, OR HAVE EVER
BEEN AFFILIATED WITH, A COMPANY FORMED WITH A BUSINESS PURPOSE SIMILAR TO OURS.
Our officers and directors have never served as officers or directors of a
development stage public company with the business purpose of raising funds to
acquire an operating business. Accordingly, you may not be able to adequately
evaluate their ability to successfully consummate a business combination.
WE EXPECT THAT OUR SECURITIES WILL CEASE TO BE LISTED ON THE THE AMERICAN STOCK
EXCHANGE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, AND THAT WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE
TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES WHICH COULD LIMIT INVESTORS' ABILITY TO MAKE
TRANSACTIONS IN OUR SECURITIES AND SUBJECT US TO ADDITIONAL TRADING
RESTRICTIONS.
We expect that our securities will cease to be listed on the American Stock
Exchange in the near future due to our inability to meet continuing listing
requirements. In such event, we will try to have our securities quoted on the
OTC Bulletin Board. However, we have no certainty that we will be able to
accomplish this. If the American Stock Exchange delists our securities from
trading on its exchange and if we fail to find an attractive trading market, we
could face significant material adverse consequences including:
* reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;
* a determination that our common stock is a "penny stock" which will
require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent
rules and possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in
the secondary trading market for our common stock;
* limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and
* a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional
financing in the future.
OUR INITIAL STOCKHOLDERS, INCLUDING OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, CONTROL A
SUBSTANTIAL INTEREST IN US AND THIS MAY INFLUENCE CERTAIN ACTIONS REQUIRING A
STOCKHOLDER VOTE.
Our initial stockholders (including all of our officers and directors) will
collectively own approximately 22.25% of our issued and outstanding shares of
common stock (including the purchase of 333,334 units in the private
placement).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 this offering, as well as any shares of common stock acquired
in connection with or following this offering, in accordance with the majority
of the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders.
4
TARGET BUSINESS MAY BE AFFILIATED WITH ONE OR MORE OF THE INITIAL STOCKHOLDERS.
We may complete a business combination with a target company with which one or
more of the initial stockholders is affiliated or has been affiliated, which may
give rise to a conflict of interest. For example, Mr. Wilson is a managing
partner at RSTW Partners. RSTW Partners has invested in middle market companies
across the United States. We may complete a business combination with a target
company in which RSTW Partners has invested, which may give rise to a conflict
of interest because Mr. Wilson is affiliated with RSTW Partners.
IF THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT WAS NOT CONDUCTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW,
THE EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESCIND THEIR UNIT PURCHASES.
THE RESCISSION RIGHTS, IF ANY, MAY REQUIRE US TO REFUND AN AGGREGATE OF
$2,000,004 TO OUR EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS, THEREBY REDUCING THE AMOUNT IN THE
TRUST ACCOUNT AVAILABLE TO US TO CONSUMMATE A BUSINESS COMBINATION, OR, IN THE
EVENT WE DO NOT COMPLETE A BUSINESS COMBINATION WITHIN THE PERIOD PRESCRIBED BY
THIS OFFERING, THE AMOUNT AVAILABLE TO OUR PUBLIC STOCKHOLDERS UPON OUR
LIQUIDATION.
Although we believe that we conducted the private placement in accordance with
applicable law, there is a risk that the units, and shares and warrants
underlying the units, should have been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and applicable blue sky laws. Although the existing
stockholders have waived their respective rights, if any, to rescind their unit
purchases as a remedy to our failure to register these securities, their waiver
may not be enforceable in light of the public policy underlying Federal and
state securities laws. If the existing stockholders bring a claim against us and
successfully assert rescission rights, we may be required to refund an aggregate
of $2,000,004, plus interest, to them, thereby reducing the amount in the trust
account available to us to consummate a business combination, or, in the event
we do not complete a business combination within the period prescribed, the
amount available to our public stockholders upon our liquidation.
OUR OUTSTANDING WARRANTS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR
COMMON STOCK AND MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO EFFECT A BUSINESS COMBINATION USING
OUR COMMON STOCK AS CONSIDERATION.
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 the 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 any shares issued to complete the business
combination. Accordingly, our warrants and the 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 shares
underlying the warrants and the 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 the option are exercised, you
may experience dilution to your holdings.
IF OUR INITIAL STOCKHOLDERS 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.
Our initial stockholders are entitled to demand that we register the resale of
the 2,958,333 shares of common stock they acquired prior to our initial public
offering. Furthermore, they are entitled to demand the registration of the
securities underlying the 333,334 units they purchased in the private placement
at any time after we announce that we have entered a letter of intent, an
agreement in principle or a definitive agreement in connection with a business
combination. If our initial stockholders exercise their registration rights with
respect to all of their shares of common stock, then there will be an additional
3,291,667 shares of common stock eligible for trading in the public market. The
presence of this additional number of shares of common stock eligible for
trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of
our common stock. In addition, the existence of these rights may make it more
difficult to effectuate a business combination or increase the cost of the
target business, as the stockholders of the target business may be discouraged
from entering into a business combination with us or will request a higher price
for their securities as a result of these registration rights and the potential
future effect their exercise may have on the trading market for our common
stock.
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.
5
If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940, our activities may be restricted, including:
* restrictions on the nature of our investments; and
* restrictions on the issuance of securities, which may make it difficult
for us to complete a business combination. In addition, we may have
imposed upon us burdensome requirements, including:
* registration as an investment company;
* adoption of a specific form of corporate structure;
* reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy, compliance and disclosure
requirements; and
* complying with other rules and regulations.
We do not believe that our anticipated principal activities will subject us to
the Investment Company Act of 1940. To this end, the proceeds held in trust may
only be invested by the trust agent in "government securities" (within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940) with specific maturity dates. By
restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, we intend to
meet the requirements for the exemption provided in Rule 3a-1 promulgated under
the Investment Company Act of 1940. If we were deemed to be subject to the Act,
compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional
expense that we have not allotted for.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
We have received no written comments regarding our periodic or current reports
from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission that were issued 180
days or more preceding the end of our 2006 fiscal year and that remain
unresolved.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
We maintain our executive offices at 4400 Post Oak Parkway, Suite 2530, Houston,
Texas 77027. 4350 Management, LLC has agreed to provide us with certain limited
administrative, technology and secretarial services, as well as the use of
certain limited office space, including a conference room, at this location
pursuant to a letter agreement between us and 4350 Management, LLC. The cost for
the foregoing services to be provided to us by 4350 Management, LLC is $7,500
per month. We believe, based on rents and fees for similar services in the
Houston, Texas area, that the fee charged by 4350 Management, 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.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
To the knowledge of management, there is no litigation or administrative
proceedings currently pending or contemplated against us or any of our officers
or directors in their capacity as such.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
A definitive proxy statement was filed on December 4, 2007 proposing a series of
matters to be voted upon by our shareholders. This special shareholder meeting
was subsequently cancelled and no vote was held. No other matter has been
submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2007.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND
ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
The shares of JKA common stock, warrants and units are currently quoted on the
American Stock Exchange under the symbols JKA, JKA.WS and JKA.U, respectively.
Each unit of JKA consists of one share of JKA common stock and two redeemable
common stock purchase warrants. JKA warrants became separable from JKA common
stock on May 11, 2006. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from JKA
one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 commencing the later of
the completion of a business combination or April 11, 2007. The JKA warrants
will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 10, 2010, or earlier upon
redemption. Prior to April 11, 2006, there was no established public trading
market for our common stock.
6
In addition, as part of the initial public offering, we issued an option to
purchase 750,000 units for $10.00 per unit to the representative of the
underwriters which, if exercised, will result in the issuance of 750,000 common
shares and 750,000 warrants. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase from
us one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 commencing the later
of a business combination with a target business or April 10, 2007. The
warrants issued to underwriters will expire April 10, 2010.
JKA does not currently have any authorized or outstanding equity compensation
plans.
The following table sets forth, for the calendar quarter indicated, the
quarterly high and low sales prices of our units, common stock and warrants as
reported on the American Stock Exchange for the year ended December 31, 2007
and 2006.

HOLDERS
As of December 31, 2007, there were 2,132,094 holders of record of our units,
14,051,239 holders of record of our common stock and 22,185,812 holders of
record of our warrants.
DIVIDENDS
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock to date and do not intend to
pay dividends prior to the completion of a business combination. The payment of
dividends in the future, assuming we successfully complete a business
combination, will be contingent upon our revenue and earnings, if any, capital
requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of a
business combination. The payment of any dividends subsequent to a business
combination will be within the discretion of our then Board. It is the present
intention of our Board to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business
operations and, accordingly, our board does not anticipate declaring any
dividends in the foreseeable future.
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
(a) During the past three years, we sold the following shares of common stock
without registration under the Securities Act:
On May 18, 2005, in connection with our organization, we issued 1,980,000 shares

USE OF PROCEEDS FROM OUR INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On April 17, 2006, JK Acquisition sold 13,225,000 units to the public at a price
of $6.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and two
redeemable common stock purchase warrants. JK Acquisition received proceeds of
$74,606,890, net of offering costs of $4,743,110. On May 10, 2006, the warrants
and common stock were separated from the units and began to trade separately.
Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an
exercise price of $5.00. The warrants have a life of four years after which they
will expire. JK Acquisition has a right to call the warrants, provided the
common stock has traded at a closing price of at least $8.50 per share for any
20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day
prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. If JK Acquisition
calls the warrants, the holder will either have to redeem the warrants by
purchasing the common stock from JK Acquisition for $5.00 or the warrants will
expire.
In connection with the initial public offering, JK Acquisition committed to pay
to the underwriters a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 5% of the gross
offering proceeds upon the consummation of the initial public offering. The
underwriters have agreed to defer approximately $1,552,500 attributable to their
non-accountable expense allowance (equal to 2.25% of the gross proceeds of the
offering) until the consummation of a business combination. Upon the
consummation of a business combination, JK Acquisition will pay such deferred
non-accountable expense allowance to the underwriters out of the proceeds of our
initial public offering held in trust.
8
Our net proceeds from the sale of our units, including the exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option, after deducting certain offering expenses
of approximately $750,100 and underwriting discounts of approximately
$3,967,000, were approximately $76,632,404. Of this amount, $76,532,404 was
placed in trust and the remaining $100,000 was not placed in trust. The
remaining proceeds of $100,000 not held in trust (plus up to $900,000 of
interest earned on the proceeds held in trust) are available to be used by us
for working capital purposes to provide for business, legal and accounting due
diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative
expenses.
EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION
As of December 31, 2007, we had no equity compensation plans in effect.
STOCK PRICE PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The table below compares the cumulative total return of our common stock from
January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 with the cumulative total return of
companies comprising the Amex Composite Index (formerly the Amex Market Value
Index). The graph plots the growth in value of an initial investment of $100 in
each of our common stock and the Amex Composite Index and assuming reinvestment
of all dividends, if any, paid on the securities. We have not paid any cash
dividends and, therefore, the cumulative total return calculation for us is
based solely upon stock price appreciation and not upon reinvestment of cash
dividends. The stock price performance shown in the table is not necessarily
indicative of future price performance.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
On January 31, 2008, JK Acquisition Corp. ("JKA") announced that the special
meeting of its stockholders to vote on the proposed merger with Multi-Shot, LLC
("Multi-Shot") had been cancelled. JKA determined, and informed Multi-Shot, that
the proposed merger would not receive the votes of JKA's stockholders required
for approval. The Second Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
August 27, 2007 (the "Merger Agreement") expired on January 31, 2008 and the
proposed merger with Multi-Shot was abandoned. The board of directors of JKA
will continue to evaluate alternatives that may be in the best interests of
JKA's stockholders, including the potential liquidation of JKA.
We were formed on May 11, 2005, for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger,
capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination,
an operating business headquartered in North America, focusing in the
manufacturing, distribution or service sectors. Our initial business combination
must be with a target business whose fair market value is at least equal to 80%
of our net assets (excluding deferred compensation of the underwriters held in
trust) at the time of such acquisition. We intend to use cash derived from the
proceeds of our recently completed public offering and concurrent private
placement, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and
debt, to effect such business combination.
On April 17, 2006, we consummated our initial public offering of 13,225,000
units, including 1,725,000 units that were subject to the underwriters'
over-allotment option. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and two
warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from us one share of our
common stock at an exercise price of $5.00. Our common stock and warrants
started trading separately as of May 11, 2006.
Our net proceeds from the sale of our units, including the exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option, after deducting certain offering expenses
of approximately $750,100 and underwriting discounts of approximately
$3,967,000, were approximately $76,632,404. Of this amount, $76,532,404 was held
in trust. The remaining proceeds of $100,000 not held in trust (plus up to
$900,000 of interest earned on the proceeds held in trust) were available to be
used by us for working capital purposes to provide for business, legal and
accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and
administrative expenses. We will use substantially all of the net proceeds of
our initial public offering to acquire a target business, including identifying
and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the target
business, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business
combination. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as
consideration to effect a business combination, the proceeds held in the trust
account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used to finance
the operations of the target business. We believe that the funds available to us
outside of the trust account will not be sufficient to allow us to operate until
April 2008, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that
time. In addition to the use of the $900,000 of interest earned on the proceeds
held in trust to fund operating expenses, Messrs. Wilson and Spickelmier have
advanced $825,000 to the company through December 31, 2007.
Commencing on April 10, 2006 and ending upon the acquisition of a target
business or liquidation, we began incurring a fee of $7,500 per month for office
space and certain administrative, technology and secretarial services from 4350
Management, LLC, an affiliate of James P. Wilson, our chairman of the board and
chief executive officer. In addition, on May 18, 2005 and December 20, 2005,
Messrs. Wilson and Spickelmier advanced an aggregate of $329,000 to us for
payment of offering expenses on our behalf. These advances were repaid following
our initial public offering from the proceeds of the offering.
Since our initial public offering, we have been actively engaged in sourcing a
suitable business combination candidate. We have met with target companies,
service professionals and other intermediaries to discuss our company, the
background of our management and our combination preferences. In the course of
these discussions, we have also spent time explaining the capital structure of
the initial public offering, the combination approval process and the timeline
under which we are operating before the proceeds of the offering are returned to
investors. Consistent with the disclosures in our initial public offering
prospectus, we have focused our search on companies in the manufacturing,
distribution and service sectors, though we may acquire an operating business in
an industry that we choose. However, there can be no assurance that we will
close a suitable business combination in the allotted time.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2007 to Fiscal Year Ended December
31, 2006
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we had net income of $1,967,606.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, we had net income of $423,436. For the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we incurred $462,848 of general and
administrative expenses, a gain of $1,468,600 on derivative liabilities of the
Company's warrants as a result of the change in valuation of the derivative
liabilities (see Notes to the Financial Statements for more information) and
interest income on the trust fund investments of $2,782,145, as compared to the
year ended December 31, 2006 when we incurred $292,378 of general and
administrative expenses, a loss of $1,265,004 on derivative liabilities of the
Company's warrants as a result of the change in valuation of the derivative
liabilities (see Notes to the Financial Statements for more information) and
by interest income on the trust fund investments of $1,994,845.
11
Comparison of Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2006 with Period from Inception to
December 31, 2005
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we had net income of $423,436. For
the period from May 11, 2005 (our date of inception) to December 31, 2005, we
had a net loss of $4,994. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, we
incurred $292,378 of general and administrative expenses, a loss of $1,265,004
on derivative liabilities of the Company's warrants as a result of the change in
valuation of the derivative liabilities (see Notes to the Financial Statements
for more information) and $14,027 of income tax expense, offset by interest
income on the trust fund investments of $1,994,845, as compared to the period
from May 11, 2005 to December 31, 2005 when we incurred only $4,994 of general
and administrative expenses in connection with our formation.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are currently contemplating liquidation. If we liquidate, the per-share
liquidation may be less than $6.08 because of our general and administrative
expenses and the costs of seeking a business combination. Additionally, if third
parties make claims against us, the offering proceeds held in the trust account
could be subject to those claims, resulting in a further reduction to the
per-share liquidation price. Under Delaware law, our stockholders who have
received distributions from us may be held liable for claims by third parties to
the extent such claims are not paid by us. Furthermore, our warrants will expire
worthless if we liquidate before the completion of a business combination.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than contractual obligations incurred in the normal course of business, we
do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities,
guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets or
any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated
entity. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries.
Contractual Obligations
In connection with our initial public offering, we agreed to pay the
underwriters a deferred non-accountable expense allowance of $1,552,500 upon the
consummation of our initial business combination. We expect that such allowance
will be paid out of the proceeds in the trust account. Other than contractual
obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, we do not have any
other long-term contractual obligations.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes
in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of
various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity
prices and/or equity prices. Our exposure to market risk is limited to interest
income sensitivity with respect to the funds placed in the trust account.
However, the funds held in our trust account have been invested only in U.S.
"government securities," defined as any Treasury Bill issued by the United
States having a maturity of one hundred and eighty days or less or in money
market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, so we are not deemed to be an investment company
under the Investment Company Act. Thus, we are subject to market risk primarily
through the effect of changes in interest rates on government securities. The
effect of other changes, such as foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or
equity prices, does not pose significant market risk to us.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
Reference is made to our financial statements beginning on page F-1 of this
report.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007, as required by Rule 13a-15 of
the Exchange Act. As described below, under "Management's Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting," a material weakness was identified in our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, relating to
our lack of segregation of duties. Based on the evaluation described above, our
Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Secretary
(Principal Executive Officer) (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) all
roles of which are performed by one individual, concluded that, as of December
31, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring
that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. To address
the material weakness, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing
procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included
in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial
statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Effective June 30, 2007, we met the definition of "accelerated filer," as
described by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. As an accelerated filer, we are
required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to include an assessment of our
internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as that term is defined in Exchange Act Rule
13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Our
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that
our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) 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.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of
achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human
diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns
resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also
can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of
such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial
reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the
financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the
process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. In addition,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to
the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
13
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2007, as required by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management conducted an assessment, including
testing, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (the "COSO Framework"). A material weakness is a control deficiency,
or a combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented or detected. In assessing the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting, management identified the
following material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2007:
Deficiencies in the Segregation of Duties.
The role and duties of Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of
Directors, Secretary ,Principal Financial and Accounting Officer are held and
performed by one individual who is actively involved in the preparation of the
financial statements, and therefore cannot provide an independent review and
quality assurance function within the accounting and financial reporting group.
Furthermore, that individual has wide-spread access to create and post entries
in the Company's financial accounting system. There is a risk that a material
misstatement of the financial statements could be caused, or at least not be
detected in a timely manner, due to insufficient segregation of duties.
Based on the material weakness described above and the criteria set forth by the
COSO Framework, we have concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting at December 31, 2007, was not effective.
The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Malone & Bailey,
PC, has issued an attestation report on the Company's internal control over
financial reporting siting such material weakness. That report appears elsewhere
in this Form 10-K
.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

structuring, negotiating and consummating its acquisition.
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and
executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of
our equity securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of
Common Stock and other equity securities of us. Directors, officers and greater
than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with all
Section 16(a) forms they file.
15
To our knowledge, based solely upon our review of the copes of such reports
furnished to us, we believe that all of our directors, officers and greater than
10% stockholders have complied with the applicable Section 16(a) reporting
requirements.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
Our audit committee consists of Mr. Williamson. The independent directors we
appoint to our audit committee will each be an independent member of our board
of directors, as defined by the rules of the SEC. Each member of our audit
committee will be financially literate, and our board of directors has
determined that Mr. Williamson qualifies as an "audit committee financial
expert", as such term is defined by SEC rules.
The audit committee will review the professional services and independence of
our independent registered public accounting firm and our accounts, procedures
and internal controls. The audit committee will also recommend the firm selected
to be our independent registered public accounting firm, review and approve the
scope of the annual audit, review and evaluate with the independent public
accounting firm our annual audit and annual consolidated financial statements,
review with management the status of internal accounting controls, evaluate
problem areas having a potential financial impact on us that may be brought to
the committee's attention by management, the independent registered public
accounting firm or the board of directors, and evaluate all of our public
financial reporting documents.
CODE OF ETHICS
We have adopted a code of conduct and ethics applicable to our directors,
officers and employees in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and
the rules of the American Stock Exchange. A copy of the JKA Code of Ethics and
any amendments thereto is available at www.jkacq.com.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
No executive officer or director has received any cash compensation for services
rendered. Commencing on the effective date of our initial public offering
through the acquisition of a target business, we will pay 4350 Management, LLC,
a wholly-owned entity of James P. Wilson, a fee of $7,500 per month for
providing us with certain limited administrative, technology and secretarial
services, as well as the use of certain limited office space, including a
conference room, in Houston, Texas. However, this arrangement is solely for our
benefit and is not intended to provide James P. Wilson compensation in lieu of a
salary. No other executive officer or director has a relationship with or
interest in 4350 Management, LLC.
Other than this $7,500 per-month fee, no compensation of any kind, including
finder's and consulting fees, will be paid to any of our initial stockholders,
our officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services
rendered prior to or in connection with a business combination. However, our
initial stockholders 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. There
is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be 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. If none of our
directors are deemed "independent," we will not have the benefit of independent
directors examining the propriety of expenses incurred on our behalf and subject
to reimbursement.

RELATED STOCKHOLDERS MATTERS

17
Our officers and directors, collectively, beneficially own approximately 19.93%
of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Because of this
ownership block, these initial stockholders may be able to effectively exercise
control over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the
election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions other
than approval of a business combination.
All of the shares of our common stock outstanding prior to the date of our
initial public offering were placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, as escrow agent. Subject to certain limited exceptions (each of
which requires that the shares remain in escrow for the required period), these
shares will not be transferable during the escrow period and will not be
released until six months after the consummation of a business combination.
During the escrow period, the holders of these shares will not be able to sell
or transfer their securities except to their spouses and children, trusts
established for their benefit, or to affiliated companies, but will retain all
other rights as our stockholders, including, without limitation, the right to
vote their shares of common stock and the right to receive cash dividends, if
declared. If dividends are declared and payable in shares of common stock, such
dividends will also be placed in escrow. None of our initial stockholders will
receive any portion of the liquidation proceeds with respect to common stock
owned by them prior to the date of our initial public offering.
Our officers and directors have purchased an aggregate of 333,334 units in a
private placement immediately prior to the initial public offering. The shares
comprising such units may not be sold, assigned or transferred until we
consummate a business combination. Such individuals have further agreed to waive
their right to any liquidation distributions with respect to such shares in the
event we fail to consummate a business combination. These shares are subject to
a lock-up on transferability until we complete a business combination.
The existing 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 this offering; they will participate in
any liquidation distribution with respect to any shares of common stock acquired
in connection with or following this offering.
In addition, in connection with the vote required for our initial business
combination, all of our existing stockholders, including all of our officers,
directors and our special advisors, have agreed to vote all of the shares of
common stock owned by them, including shares they may acquire in the private
placement or during or after the offering, in accordance with the majority of
the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders other than our
existing stockholders. Accordingly, they will not be entitled to exercise the
conversion rights available to public stockholders who vote against a business
combination.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND CERTAIN RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR
INDEPENDENCE
Since our inception, we have issued 2,958,333 shares of our common stock to the
parties set forth below for $31,250 in cash, at an average purchase price of
$0.010563 per share, as follows:
NAME NUMBER OF SHARES RELATIONSHIP TO US
---- ------------ ------------------
James P. Wilson 1,597,796 Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer and
Secretary
Keith D. Spickelmier 1,307,287 President and Director
Herbert C. Williamson 26,625 Director
|
The holders of the majority of these shares will be entitled to make up to two
demands that we register these shares pursuant to an agreement to be signed
prior to or on the date of our initial public offering. The holders of the
majority of these shares may elect to exercise these registration rights at any
time after the date on which these shares of common stock are released from
escrow. In addition, these stockholders have certain "piggy-back" registration
rights on registration statements filed subsequent to the date on which these
shares of common stock are released from escrow. We will bear the expenses
incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
On April 10, 2006, the board of directors approved and declared the issuance of
a stock dividend of 0.183333 shares of common stock on each share of common
stock currently issued and outstanding, after which the existing stockholders
held, in the aggregate, 2,958,333 shares. The stock dividend was paid prior to
the private placement.
18
Mr. Wilson and Mr. Spickelmier have purchased in the aggregate 333,334 units in
a private placement immediately prior to this offering at a price equal to the
price of our initial public offering, $6.00 per unit. The existing 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
this offering, and the 333,334 shares included in the units they have purchased
in the private placement, therefore, they will participate in any liquidation
distribution with respect to any shares of common stock acquired in connection
with or following this offering. In addition, in connection with the vote
required for our initial business combination, all of our existing stockholders,
including all of our officers, directors and special advisors, have agreed to
vote all of the shares of common stock owned by them, including those acquired
in the private placement or during or after this offering, in accordance with
the majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders.
4350 Management, LLC, a wholly-owned entity of James P. Wilson, has agreed that,
commencing on the effective date of our initial public offering through the
acquisition of a target business, it will make available to us certain limited
administrative, technology and secretarial services, as well as the use of
certain limited office space, including a conference room, in Houston, Texas, as
we may require from time to time. We have agreed to pay 4350 Management, LLC
$7,500 per month for these services. James P. Wilson is the sole owner of 4350
Management, LLC and, as a result, will benefit from the transaction to the
extent of his interest in or position with 4350 Management, LLC.
However, this arrangement is solely for our benefit and is not intended to
provide James P. Wilson compensation in lieu of a salary. We believe, based on
rents and fees for similar services in the Houston, Texas area, that the fee
charged by 4350 Management, LLC is at least as favorable as we could have
obtained from an unaffiliated person. However, if our directors are not deemed
"independent," we will not have had the benefit of disinterested directors
approving this transaction.
James P. Wilson and Keith D. Spickelmier advanced a total of $329,000, on a
non-interest bearing basis, to us in order to cover expenses related to this
offering. These advances were repaid from the proceeds of the initial public
offering.
We will reimburse our officers and directors for any reasonable out-of-pocket
business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our
behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and
business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of accountable
out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us, which will be reviewed only by our
board or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged.
Other than the $7,500 per-month administrative fee and reimbursable
out-of-pocket expenses payable to our officers and directors, no compensation or
fees of any kind, including finder's and consulting fees, will be paid to any of
our initial stockholders, officers or directors who owned our common stock prior
to this offering, or to any of their respective affiliates for services rendered
to us prior to or with respect to the business combination.
All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and
directors or their respective affiliates, including loans by our officers and
directors, will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable than are
available from unaffiliated third parties and such transactions or loans,
including any forgiveness of loans, will require prior approval in each instance
by a majority of our uninterested ''independent'' directors (to the extent we
have any) or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the
transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or
independent legal counsel. In addition, our management will gather pricing
information, estimates or fairness opinions from unaffiliated third parties with
respect to similar transactions undertaken by us.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our common stock is listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange (the
"AMEX"). Accordingly, we use the standards established by the AMEX for
determining whether or not each of our directors is "independent." We have
determined that currently Herbert C. Williamson is an "independent" director in
accordance with the AMEX independence standards, and that James P. Wilson, and
Keith D. Spickelmier are not. The AMEX rules generally require that a listed
company's Board of Directors be composed of a majority of independent directors.
As a consequence, we do not presently comply with the AMEX rules in this regard.
Moreover, the AMEX rules generally require that a listed company's Audit
Committee be composed of at least three members, each of whom must be
independent. Currently, Mr. Williamson is the only member of our Audit
Committee. As a consequence, we do not presently comply with the AMEX rules in
this regard either.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
Audit Fees
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, we paid, or expect
to pay, our principal accountant $25,200 and $37,020, respectively for the
services they performed throughout the year, including the yearend audit, the
quarters and consents on other SEC filings.
19
Audit-Related Fees
During 2007, our principal accountant did not render assurance and related
services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of
financial statements.
Tax Fees
During 2006 and 2007, we paid our principal accountant $1,200 and $850,
respectively.
All Other Fees
During 2007, there were no fees billed for products and services provided
by the principal accountant other than those set forth above.
POLICY ON AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND PERMISSIBLE NON-AUDIT
SERVICES OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the Audit
Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing
the work of the independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, the
Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and
permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.
Prior to engagement of the independent auditor for the next year's audit,
management will submit an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during
that year for each of four categories of services to the Audit Committee for
approval.
1. AUDIT services include audit work performed in the preparation of
financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent
auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters,
statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial
accounting and/or reporting standards.
2. AUDIT-RELATED services are for assurance and related services that are
traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including due diligence
related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special
procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.
3. TAX services include all services performed by the independent
auditor's tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit
of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance,
tax planning, and tax advice.
4. OTHER FEES are those associated with services not captured in the other
categories. We generally do not request such services from the independent
auditor.
Prior to engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves these services by
category of service. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires the
independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget
periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year,
circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent
auditor for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval.
In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before
engaging the independent auditor.
The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of
its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for
informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee
at its next scheduled meeting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
JK Acquisition Corp.
(A Development Stage Company)
Houston, Texas
We have audited JK Acquisition Corp.'s. (A Development Stage Company) internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). JK Acquisition
Corp's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting included in Management's Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on the effectiveness of JK Acquisition Corp.'s internal
control over financial reporting based upon our audit.
We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting 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 effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting,
assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed
risk, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by,
or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal
financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the
company's board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may
not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has
been identified at December 31, 2007 and included in management's assessment:
Deficiencies in the Segregation of Duties. The role and duties of Chief
Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Secretary ,Principal
Financial and Accounting Officer are held and performed by one individual who is
actively involved in the preparation of the financial statements, and therefore
cannot provide an independent review and quality assurance function within the
accounting and financial reporting group. Furthermore, that individual has
wide-spread access to create and post entries in the Company's financial
accounting system. There is a risk that a material misstatement of the financial
statements could be caused, or at least not be detected in a timely manner, due
to insufficient segregation of duties.
This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing and
extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the financial statements as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2007, and this report does not affect our report
dated March 28, 2008 on those financial statements.
In our opinion, because of the effects of the material weakness described above
on the achievement of the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework issued by COSO, JK Acquisition Corp. did not maintain effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
JK Acquisition Corp.
(A Development Stage Company)
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of JK Acqusition Corp. (A
Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related
statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
two years in the period ended December 31, 2007, the period from May 11, 2005
(inception) to December 31, 2005 and the period from May 11, 2005 (inception) to
December 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 audit in accordance with 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of JK Acquisition Corp. as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the financial
statements, the Company did not consumate its planned merger and has current
liabilities in excess of its available cash. This raises substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to
these matters are also described in Note 9. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) JK Acquisition Corp.'s internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on the criteria
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated March
28, 2008 expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of JK Acquisition
Corp.'s internal control over financial reporting.

JK ACQUISITION CORP.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
JK Acquisition Corp. (also hereinafter referred to as "JK Acquisition" or the
"Company") was incorporated in Delaware on May 11, 2005 for the purpose of
acquiring an operating business. JK Acquisition's year end is December 31.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
JK Acquisition Corp. has had no operations since inception and is a development
stage company.
USE OF ESTIMATES
In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet
and revenue and expenses in the income statement. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
CASH AND EQUIVALENTS
JK Acquisition considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity
of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investment securities in the trust fund are classified as trading securities and
are carried at fair value, with gains or losses resulting from changes in fair
value recognized currently in earnings. Investment securities are invested in
non-taxable U.S. Treasury securities.
DEFERRED OFFERING COSTS
Certain costs associated with the proposed initial public offering of $592,816
were deferred as of December 31, 2005 until the offering was effective in April
2006. The deferred offering costs were charged to equity against the proceeds
raised.
DEFERRED ACQUISITION COSTS
Deferred acquisition costs consist primarily of accounting fees, legal fees, due
diligence fees and other fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are
related to the proposed merger discussed in Note 9. Due to the uncertainty of
the proposed merger, the deferred acquisition costs were written off to
impairment expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, and deferred
acquisition costs incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2007 were
expensed as impaired costs.
INCOME TAXES
JK Acquisition recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on
differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in
effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. JK Acquisition
provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which it does not
consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not. As of December
31,2007 the Company had a net operarting loss carryforward of approximately
$2,291,474 which expires in 2027.
F-8
The provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2007 of $(8,335)
was comprised of:
Current U.S. federal income tax expense $ 77
Deferred U.S. federal income tax benefit (8,412)
-------
Total tax expense (8,335)
|
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the
U.S. statutory income for the reasons set forth below:
Year Ended Year Ended
December 31, 2007 December 31, 2006
Tax at Statutory Rate $ 666,152 $ 148,736

Valuation Allowance 779,101 -
Other (8,335) (10,646)

Total Deferred Tax Assets $ - $ 1,613
|
BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME ( LOSS) PER SHARE
The basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The
diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or
converted into commons shares or resulted in the issuance of common share that
then shared in the earnings. A reconciliation of earnings per share used for the
basic and diluted earnings per share computations is as follows for the year
ended December 31, 2007:
Weighted average common shares outstanding-basic 16,516,667
Effect of dilutive securities- warrants 3,618,689
----------
Weighted average common shares outstanding
- diluted 20,135,356

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
JK Acquisition Corp. does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting
pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of
operations, financial position or cash flow.
NOTE 2 - INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On April 17, 2006, JK Acquisition sold 13,225,000 units to the public at a price
of $6.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and two
redeemable common stock purchase warrants. JK Acquisition received proceeds of
$74,606,890, net of offering costs of $4,743,110. On May 11, 2006, the warrants
and common stock were separated from the units and began to trade separately.
F-9
Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an
exercise price of $5.00. The warrants have a life of four years after which they
will expire. JK Acquisition has a right to call the warrants, provided the
common stock has traded at a closing price of at least $8.50 per share for any
20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day
prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. If JK Acquisition
calls the warrants, the holder will either have to redeem the warrants by
purchasing the common stock from JK Acquisition for $5.00 or the warrants will
expire.
In connection with the initial public offering, JK Acquisition has committed to
pay to the underwriters a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 5% of the
gross offering proceeds upon the consummation of the initial public offering.
The underwriters have agreed to defer approximately $1,552,500 attributable to
their non-accountable expense allowance (equal to 2.25% of the gross proceeds of
the offering) until the consummation of a business combination. Upon the
consummation of a business combination, JK Acquisition will pay such deferred
non-accountable expense allowance to the underwriters out of the proceeds of our
initial public offering held in trust. The underwriters will not receive any of
the $1,552,500 attributable to their non-accountable expense if a business
combination is not completed and the trust is liquidated.
At the time JK Acquisition seeks stockholder approval of any business
combination, the Company will offer each public stockholder the right to have
such stockholder's shares of common stock converted to cash if the stockholder
votes against the business combination and the business combination is approved
and completed. The actual per-share conversion price will be equal to the amount
in the trust fund, inclusive of any interest (calculated as of two business days
prior to the consummation of the proposed business combination), divided by the
number of shares of common stock sold in our initial public offering. JK
Acquisition will not complete any business combination if public stockholders,
owning an aggregate of 20% or more of the shares sold in its initial public
offering and purchased in the private placement both vote against a business
combination and exercise their conversion rights. The liability for stock
subject to redemption in the accompanying financial statements represents the
potential conversion price for 19.99% of the outstanding shares.
NOTE 3 - ADVANCES FROM SHAREHOLDERS
On May 18, 2005 and December 20, 2005, JK Acquisition received an aggregate of
$329,000 as advances for expenses from two shareholders. These advances did not
bear any interest and were repaid from the proceeds of the Company's initial
public offering.
On May 23, 2007, June 14, 2007, July 19, 2007, September 6, 2007, October 9,
2007 and December 29, 2007, JK Acquisition received an aggregate of $825,000 in
advances for expenses from two shareholders, Messrs. Wilson and Spickelmier.
Proceeds from each of the advances funded JK Acquisition's ongoing continuing
operating expenses. Under the terms of the advances, JK Acquisition will: (i)
pay no interest and (ii) the amounts of the advances are due to be reimbursed
upon the consummation of a business combination. In the event JK Acquisition
fails to complete a business combination with any entity (I) by October 10, 2007
or, (II) if a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement
is executed, but not consummated, by October 10, 2007, then by April 10, 2008,
then JK Acquisition shall not be required to repay the advances. The two
shareholders who advanced such funds, have waived any recourse against JK
Acquisition's trust account with respect to the advances in the event that a
business combination is not consummated by JK Acquisition in a timely manner as
described herein above.
NOTE 4 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
On January 10, 2007, JK Acquisition entered into a Warrant Clarification
Agreement to clarify the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated as of April 10,
2006 (the ''Warrant Agreement'') by and between JK Acquisition and Continental
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Warrant Agent. The Warrant Clarification
Agreement clarified, consistent with the terms of the Warrant Agreement and the
disclosure contained in JK Acquisition's Prospectus, dated April 11, 2006, that
if JK Acquisition is unable to deliver securities pursuant to the exercise of a
warrant because a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, with respect to the common stock is not effective, then in no event
would JK Acquisition be obligated to pay cash or other consideration to the
holders of warrants or otherwise ''net-cash settle'' any warrant exercise. As of
January 10, 2007, JK Acquisition determined that net cash settlement of the
warrants could no longer be required; therefore, the warrants should not be
treated as derivative liabilities. The fair value of these warrants was marked
to market on January 10, 2007 and a derivative gain was recorded. The balance of
the derivative liability was then recorded as a contribution to paid-in capital
on that date. The fair value of the warrants as of January 10, 2007 was
determined by the trading value of the securities on that date.
F-10
Gain on derivative liability reported in the accompanying statement of
operations through January 10, 2007 resulting from the change in valuation of
the derivative liability related to these warrants was $1,468,600 for the year
ended December 31, 2007. Loss on derivative liability reported in the
accompanying statement of operations resulting from the change in valuation of
the derivative liability related to these warrants was $1,265,004 for the year
ended December 31, 2006.
NOTE 5 - TRUST FUND
The Trust Fund is classified as a current asset at December 31, 2007 due to the
termination of the proposed merger as described in Note 9.
NOTE 6- EQUITY
On April 10, 2006, JK Acquisition declared a stock dividend of 0.1833332 shares
for each share outstanding. After the stock dividend, there were 2,958,333
shares outstanding. All transactions and disclosures in the financial statements
related to the Company's common stock, have been adjusted to reflect the results
of the stock dividend.
On April 10, 2006, JK Acquisition sold 333,334 shares of common stock to two
existing shareholders for $2,000,004 in a private placement.
NOTE 7 - STOCK OPTION
On April 17, 2006, JK Acquisition sold to Ferris Baker, Watts, Inc. for $100, an
option to purchase up to a total of 700,000 units. This option was issued upon
closing of the initial public offering. The units that would be issued upon
exercise of this option are identical to those sold in the initial public
offering, except that each of the warrants underlying this option entitles the
holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $6.25. This
Underwriter's Purchase Option ("UPO") is exercisable at $7.50 per unit at the
later of one year from the effective date, or the consummation of a business
combination and may be exercised on a cashless basis. The UPO will have a life
of four years from the effective date.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, requires all
derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Furthermore,
paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No. 133 precludes contracts issued or held by a
reporting entity that are both (1) indexed to its own stock and (2) classified
as stockholders' equity in its statement of financial position from being
treated as derivative instruments. We have determined that the option to
purchase 700,000 units, each unit consisting of one warrant and one share of
common stock, is a derivative that also contains an embedded derivative. The
option to purchase 700,000 shares of common stock and the warrant to purchase an
additional 1,400,000 shares, the latter being the embedded derivative, are
separately valued and accounted for on JK Acquisition's balance sheet. While the
warrant to purchase the additional 1,400,000 shares is indexed to JK
Acquisition's common stock, the fact that the shares underlying the warrants
require future registration in accordance with the warrant agreement, requires
JK Acquisition to classify these instruments as a liability in accordance with
EITF 00-19, paragraph 14.
As such, the option to purchase 700,000 units is considered an equity
instrument, as the underlying shares do not need to be registered, and all other
criteria in EITF 00-19 required for the instrument to be accounted for as an
equity instrument have been fulfilled. The embedded derivative which is the
warrant to purchase 1,400,000 shares for $6.25 each follows the same accounting
guidelines as the warrants sold in the public offering and is considered a
liability.
JK Acquisition performed a valuation of the option to purchase 700,000 units,
and then allocated its fair value to its two components, the underlying 700,000
shares and the embedded warrant to purchase an additional 1,400,000 shares. The
fair value at inception was calculated at $4,201,277, of which $1,218,448 was
allocated to the purchase option of 700,000 shares and $2,982,829 was allocated
to the warrants to purchase an additional 1,400,000 shares, according to their
respective fair values.
On January 10, 2007, JK Acquisition entered into a Warrant Clarification
Agreement to clarify the terms of the warrants. The Warrant Clarification
Agreement clarified that if JK Acquisition is unable to deliver securities
pursuant to the exercise of a warrant because a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the common stock is not
effective, then in no event would JK Acquisition be obligated to pay cash or
other consideration to the holders of warrants or otherwise ''net-cash settle''
any warrant exercise. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2007, JK Acquisition
reversed the derivative liability on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2006.
F-11
Loss on derivative liability reported in the accompanying statement of
operations resulting from the change in valuation of the derivative liability
related to these warrants was $1,265,004 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The pricing model JK Acquisition uses for determining fair values of the
purchase option and the embedded derivative is the Black Scholes Pricing Model.
Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external
verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest
rates, market prices and volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves
management's judgment and may impact net income.
In particular, JK Acquisition uses volatility rates based upon a sample of
comparable companies in its industry, special purpose acquisition corporations.
At the time a company to be acquired has been identified and agreements to
acquire are in place, the volatility rates will be based on comparable companies
to the acquired company. JK Acquisition uses a risk-free interest rate, which is
the rate on U. S. Treasury instruments, for a security with a maturity that
approximates the estimated remaining contractual life of the derivative. The
volatility factor used in Black Scholes has a significant effect on the
resulting valuation of the derivative liabilities on JK Acquisition's balance
sheet. The volatility for the calculation of the embedded derivatives was
approximated at 38.6%.
NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
JK Acquisition has agreed to pay 4350 Management, LLC, a related party and
privately-held company owned by JK Acquisition's chief executive officer, an
administrative fee of $7,500 per month for office space and administrative,
technology and secretarial services from the effective date of the initial
public offering through the acquisition date of a target business. For the year
ended December 31, 2007, $90,000 has been expensed for the administrative fee.
NOTE 9-SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, TERMINATION OF PROPOSED MERGER AND GOING CONCERN
On September 6, 2006, the Company, Multi-Shot, LLC ("Multi-Shot") and various
other parties entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement")
and related agreements. Over the course of this transaction, the parties twice
amended the terms of the Merger Agreement and twice extended the transaction. On
January 31, 2008, the Company announced that the special meeting of its
stockholders to vote on the proposed merger with Multi-Shot had been cancelled.
The Company determined and informed Multi-Shot that the proposed merger would
not receive the votes of its stockholders required for approval. The agreement
and plan of merger governing the proposed merger expired on January 31, 2008,
and the proposed merger with Multi-Shot was abandoned. In view of the preceding,
the board of directors has determined that it is no longer possible for the
Company to consummate a qualifying business combination prior to the Termination
Date (as defined in the Trust Agreement). Based upon this determination, the
board of directors is evaluating alternatives to return to the holders of our
common stock the amounts held in the Trust Fund with interest (net of applicable
taxes, if any) and alternatives for preserving value for stockholders. One
alternative for preserving value for stockholders that is presently under
consideration is the continuation of the Company as a corporate entity (rather
than dissolution) and the pursuit of an acquisition of one or more operating
