Notes to Unaudited Condensed
Financial Statements
1.
Interim Financial Information
Prospect
Acquisition Corp.s (the Company) unaudited condensed interim financial
statements as of September 30, 2009, for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and for the period from July 9,
2007 (date of inception) through September 30, 2009, have been prepared by
the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the
interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The Company has evaluated subsequent events
through the filing date, November 6, 2009.
These
unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the period ended December 31,
2008 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2009. The December 31, 2008 balance sheet and
the changes in stockholders equity through December 31, 2008 have been
derived from those audited financial statements. The accounting policies used in preparing
these unaudited financial statements are consistent with those described in the
December 31, 2008 audited financial statements.
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform
with the current year presentation.
On
September 8, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (see Note 4). There is no
assurance that we will successfully complete the merger by November 14,
2009. If we are unable to complete the merger or another business combination
by November 14, 2009 we will be forced to liquidate. This factor and the
decline in the remaining amount of cash available to be withdrawn from the
trust account raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue
operations as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not
include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Company was incorporated in Delaware on July 9, 2007, and is a blank check
company formed for the purpose of acquiring control of, through a merger,
capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or
other similar business combination, one or more operating businesses or assets in
the financial services industry (a Business Combination). All activity from July 9, 2007 (date of
inception) through November 20, 2007 relates to the Companys formation
and its initial public offering described below. Since November 20, 2007,
the Company has been searching for an acquisition target.
The
registration statement for the Companys initial public offering (the Offering)
was declared effective November 14, 2007.
The Company consummated the Offering on November 20, 2007 and
received gross proceeds of $250,000,000 and $5,250,000 from the sale of
Sponsors Warrants on a private placement basis (see Note 3). The Companys management has broad discretion
with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Offering,
although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to
be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the
Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. An amount of $247,000,000 (or approximately $9.88 per unit) of the net
proceeds of the Offering and the sale of the Sponsors Warrants (see Note 3)
was deposited in a trust account (the Trust Account) and invested in United
States government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of
the Investment Company Act of 1940 having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in
money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 until the earlier of (i) the
consummation of its initial Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of
the Company. At September 30, 2009,
the Trust Account was invested in United States government securities and has
been accounted for as a trading security. The placing of funds in the Trust
Account may not protect those funds from third party claims against the
Company. Although the Company has sought
and will seek to have all vendors, prospective target businesses or other
entities it engages, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right,
title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust
Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. A
Company officer and

two
initial stockholders have agreed that they will be personally liable under
certain circumstances to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not
reduced by the claims of target businesses or vendors or other entities that
are owed money by the Company for services rendered, contracted for or products
sold to the Company, subject to limited exceptions. However, there can be no assurance that they
will be able to satisfy those obligations.
The remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) have been and
will continue to be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due
diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative
expenses. Until the consummation of the
initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company, proceeds held
in the Trust Account will not be available for the Companys use for any
purpose, except there can be released to the Company from the Trust Account (i) interest
income earned on the Trust Account balance to pay any taxes on such interest
and (ii) interest income earned of up to $2.75 million on the Trust
Account balance to fund the Companys working capital requirements, provided
that after such release there remains in the Trust Account a sufficient amount
of interest income previously earned on the Trust Account balance to pay any
due and unpaid taxes on income generated by the Trust Account.

The
Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination with a
target business or businesses, is required to submit such transaction for
stockholder approval. In the event that
those persons that purchase securities in the Offering or thereafter (Public
Stockholders) owning 30% or more of the shares sold in the Offering vote
against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described
below, the Business Combination will not be consummated. All of the Companys stockholders prior to
the Offering, including all of the directors of the Company (the Initial
Stockholders), have agreed to vote all of their founding shares of common
stock in accordance with the majority of the shares of common stock voted by
the Public Stockholders with respect to any Business Combination.
After
consummation of a Business Combination, these voting safeguards will no longer
apply.
With
respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated, any Public
Stockholder who votes against the Business Combination may demand that the
Company convert his or her shares into cash from the Trust Account. The per share conversion price will equal the
aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, before payment of
deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and including accrued interest,
net of taxes on such interest and net of interest income on the Trust Account
balance released to the Company as described above, calculated as of two
business days prior to the proposed consummation of the initial Business
Combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock sold in the
Offering. Accordingly, Public
Stockholders holding not more than 30% of the shares (minus one share) sold in
the Offering may seek conversion of their shares in the event of a Business
Combination. Such Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their per share
interest in the Trust Account (net of the tax and working capital items
described above) computed without regard to the shares held by Initial
Stockholders.
Accordingly,
a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering (29.99% of the amount placed in
the Trust Account) has been classified as common stock subject to possible
conversion and a portion of the interest earned on the Trust Account (29.99%),
after deducting the amounts permitted to be utilized for tax obligations and
working capital purposes, has been recorded as deferred interest in the
accompanying financial statements.
The
Companys Certificate of Incorporation was amended on November 14, 2007 to
provide that the Company will continue in existence only until 24 months from
the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Offering (the Effective
Date), or November 14, 2009. If
the Company has not completed a Business Combination by such date, its
corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of liquidating and
winding up its affairs. In the event of
liquidation, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets
remaining available for distribution (including assets in the Trust Account)
will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in the Offering
(assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units offered
in the Offering discussed in Note 3) because of the expenses

Fair Value of
Financial Instruments
:
The
fair values of the Companys assets and liabilities that qualify as financial
instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 107,
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instrument
, approximate their carrying amounts presented in the
balance sheet based upon the short-term nature of the account at September 30,
2009.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 also emphasizes that fair value is a
market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a
fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active
markets. Under SFAS 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within
that hierarchy. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP)
No. 157-2,
Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157
, which permits a one-year deferral for the
implementation of SFAS 157 with regard to non-financial assets and liabilities
that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements
on a recurring basis. The Company adopted SFAS 157 for the fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2008, except for the non-financial assets and
non-financial liabilities, which was adopted effective January 1, 2009.
The adoption of the provisions of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on
the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In April 2009, the
FASB issued three FSPs to provide additional application guidance and enhance
disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities.
FSP FAS 157-4,
Determining Fair Value When
the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly
Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,
provides
guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the
principles presented in SFAS 157. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,
Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments,
enhances consistency in financial reporting by
increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS
124-2,
Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,
provides additional guidance
designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and
presenting impairment losses on securities. These three FSPs are
effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the provisions of these FSPs
did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results
of operations
In June 2008, the
FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-5
, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded
Feature) Is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock
(EITF 07-5). EITF
07-5 provides a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether an
equity-linked financial instrument, or embedded feature, is indexed to an
entitys own stock. EITF 07-5 was effective for the quarter ended March 31,
2009. There was no impact on the financial position or results of operations as
a result of the adoption of this new guidance.
In December 2007, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 141(R)
, Business Combinations
(SFAS
141R) which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a
business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in
the acquiree. SFAS 141R also provides
guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business
combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the
financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. SFAS 141R will
have an impact to the Company for any acquisitions consummated by the Company
.
In
December 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51
(SFAS 160), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for
ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and
for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.
SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify
and distinguish between the interest of the parent and the interests of the
non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 may have a material impact to the
Company with respect to any acquisitions consummated by the Company.

Notes to
Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
In May 2009, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 165,
Subsequent Events
(SFAS 165). SFAS 165 is intended to establish general standards of accounting
for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but
before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165
requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated
subsequent events and the basis for that date, and is effective for interim and
annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165
has not materially impacted the Companys financial position or results of
operations.
In May 2008, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 162,
The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles
SFAS 162. SFAS 162 identifies the
sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles
used in preparation of the financial statements of non governmental entities
that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP (the GAAP hierarchy).
In July 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168,
The FASB Accounting Codification and the Hierarchy
of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(SFAS 168). SFAS 168 supersedes
SFAS 162. SFAS 168 will become the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by
the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive
releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of
federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC
registrants. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification will supersede
all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other
nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification
will become nonauthoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 has not materially impacted the Companys financial
position or results of operations.
Management does not
believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting
standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the
accompanying financial statements.
3.
Initial Public Offering
On
November 20, 2007, the Company sold 25,000,000 units (the Units) at an
offering price of $10.00 per Unit. The
Company granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional
3,750,000 Units solely to cover over- allotments. Said option could have been exercised in
whole or in part at any time before the 30
th
day after the Effective Date, and has expired
without having been exercised by the underwriters.
Each
Unit consists of one share of the Companys common stock and one warrant
exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per
share (a Warrant). Each Warrant will
be exercisable on the later of the completion of the initial Business
Combination and fifteen months from the Effective Date, provided in each case
that the Company has an effective registration statement covering the shares of
common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus
relating to them is available. The
Warrants will expire five years from the Effective Date, unless earlier
redeemed. The Company may call the
Warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at any time after the
Warrants become exercisable and there is an effective registration statement
covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants
available and current throughout the 30-day Redemption Period defined
hereafter, upon a minimum of 30 days prior written notice of redemption (the 30-day
Redemption Period) at a price of $0.01 per Warrant, only in the event that the
last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $14.50 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 the notice of redemption is sent to the Warrant
holder. In accordance with the warrant
agreement relating to the Warrants sold and issued in the Offering, the Company
is only required to use its best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the
registration statement covering the Warrants from the date the warrants become
exercisable until the warrants expire or are redeemed. The Company will not be obligated to deliver
securities, and there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver
securities, if a registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise. Additionally, in the event that a
registration statement is not effective at the time of exercise, the holder of
such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and in no event
(whether in the case of a registration statement not being effective or
otherwise) will the Company be required to settle the warrant exercise, whether
by net cash settlement or otherwise.
Consequently, the Warrants may expire unexercised and unredeemed (and
therefore worthless), and, as a result, an investor in the Offering may
effectively pay the full Unit price solely for the shares of common stock
included in the Units.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed
Financial Statements
The
Company entered into an agreement with the underwriters of the Offering (the Underwriting
Agreement). The Underwriting Agreement
requires the Company to pay 3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering as an
underwriting discount plus an additional 4% of the gross proceeds of the
Offering only upon consummation of a Business Combination. The Company paid an underwriting discount of
3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering ($7.5 million) in connection with the
consummation of the Offering and has placed 4% of the gross proceeds of the
Offering ($10 million) in the Trust Account.
The $10 million amount due to the underwriters has been classified as
deferred underwriting commission on the accompanying balance sheets. The Company did not have to pay any discount
related to the Sponsors Warrants sold on a private placement basis. The underwriters have waived their right to
receive payment of the 4% of the gross proceeds of the Offering upon the
Companys liquidation if the Company is unable to complete a Business
Combination.
Pursuant
to purchase agreements dated November 14, 2007, certain of the Initial
Stockholders have purchased from the Company, in the aggregate, 5,250,000
warrants for $5,250,000 (the Sponsors Warrants). The purchase and issuance of the Sponsors
Warrants occurred simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering on a
private placement basis. All of the
proceeds the Company received from these purchases were placed in the Trust
Account. The Sponsors Warrants are
identical to the Warrants included in the Units offered in the Offering except
that the Sponsors Warrants (i) are non-redeemable so long as they are
held by the original purchasers or their permitted transferees, (ii) are
subject to certain transfer restrictions and will not be exercisable while they
are subject to these transfer restrictions and (iii) may be exercised for
cash or on a cashless basis. The purchase
price of the Sponsors Warrants has been determined to be the fair value of
such warrants as of the purchase date.
The Initial Stockholders have waived their right to
receive a liquidation distribution with respect to their founding shares upon
the Companys liquidation if it is unable to complete a Business Combination.

Proposed
Business Combination
On September 8, 2009, the Company entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, KW Merger
Sub Corp., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub) and Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.
(Kennedy-Wilson), pursuant to
which Merger Sub will merge (the Merger)
with and into Kennedy-Wilson, with Kennedy-Wilson continuing as the surviving
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as amended by
Amendment No. 1, dated as of October 22, 2009 and Amendment No. 2,
dated as of October 26, 2009 (the Merger Agreement). See Note 10,
Subsequent Events, for the amended terms of the Merger Agreement.
On October 30, 2009, the Company commenced its
mailing of the definitive proxy statements to Prospect stockholders and warrant
holders, and will hold each of the special meeting of stockholders and the
special meeting of warrant holders on November 13, 2009, to vote upon the
proposed business combination and the matters associated therewith.
5.
Fair
Value Measurement
As discussed in Note 2,
the Company adopted SFAS 157. SFAS 157 requires new disclosure that establishes
a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair
value measurements. SFAS 157 enables the
reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those
measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and
reliability of the information used to determine fair values.
SFAS 157 also requires
that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and
disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market based inputs or
unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated
by market data.
In determining the
appropriate levels in which to categorize its assets and liabilities, the
Company performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are
subject to SFAS 157. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for
which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs
are classified as Level 3.

Subsequent Events
On September 8, 2009, the Company entered into the
Merger Agreement, as amended on October 22, 2009 and October 26, 2009,
by and among the Company, Merger Sub
and Kennedy-Wilson, pursuant to
which Merger Sub will merge with and into Kennedy-Wilson, with Kennedy-Wilson
continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, common stockholders
of Kennedy-Wilson will receive as consideration 3.8031 shares of the Companys
common stock for each share of Kennedy-Wilson common stock outstanding and
preferred stockholders of Kennedy-Wilson will receive as consideration 105.6412
shares of the Companys common stock for each share of preferred outstanding,
for an aggregate consideration of 26 million shares of the Companys
common stock. In addition, up to 2.475 million restricted shares of the
Companys common stock will be issued to management of Kennedy-Wilson pursuant
to an equity compensation plan (the 2009 Plan) adopted by the Company and
submitted to the Companys stockholders for approval.
Upon consummation of the Merger, the Companys
founders will forfeit 4,750,000 of their founders shares. Following the
transaction, assuming 29.99% of the Companys stockholders exercise their
conversion rights, the Companys current stockholders will own 39.9% of the Companys
outstanding common stock, current common and preferred stockholders of
Kennedy-Wilson will own approximately 54.6%, and the other new stockholders of
the Company (including recipients of awards under the 2009 Plan) will own
approximately 5.5% of the Companys outstanding common stock.
As a condition to the closing of the Merger, holders
of the Companys warrants must approve an amendment (the Warrant Amendment) to the current
warrant agreement that governs all of the Companys warrants (the Prospect
Warrants), each of which is exercisable for one share of the Companys common
stock. The Warrant Amendment will provide that, at the closing of the Merger,
each holder of warrants issued in the Companys initial public offering (the Public
Warrants) must elect either: (i) to have the Public Warrant cashed out by
the Company for $0.55 in cash per Public Warrant, or (ii) to continue to
hold his, her or its Public Warrant, which will be amended to extend the
warrant termination date to 2013 from 2012, increase the exercise price to
$12.50 from $7.50 and increase the redemption price to $19.50 from $14.50. At
least 12.5 million Public Warrants must be redeemed for cash. In the event that holders in excess of 50% or
12,500,000 (the Warrant Limit) of the Public Warrants elect to receive an
amended warrant, a pro rata portion of the Public Warrants
and
the Sponsors Warrants, totaling such excess over the Warrant Limit, will
automatically be converted into the right to receive a cash amount of $0.55 per
warrant. In addition, the Warrant
Amendment will amend the terms of the Sponsors Warrants to extend the warrant
termination date to 2013 from 2012, increase the exercise price to $12.50 from
$7.50 and increase the redemption price to $19.50 from $14.50. If the Merger is
consummated, any holder of Public Warrants who votes against the approval of
the Warrant Amendment or who makes no election will receive $0.55 for each of
its Public Warrants.

Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than
statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including,
without limitation, statements under Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations regarding our financial
position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for
future operations, are forward looking statements. When used in this Form 10-Q,
words such as anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, intend and
similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward
looking statements. Such forward looking statements are based on the beliefs of
management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available
to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those
contemplated by the forward looking statements as a result of certain factors
detailed in the Form 10-Q and our other filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. All subsequent written or oral forward looking statements
attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their
entirety by this paragraph.
Overview
We were formed on July 9,
2007, to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset
acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business
combination with one or more operating business in the financial services
industry. Our initial business combination must be with a business or
businesses whose collective fair market value is in excess of 80% of the
balance in the trust account (excluding the amount held in the trust account
representing a portion of the underwriters discount) at the time of the
initial business combination. We intend to utilize cash derived from the
proceeds of our initial public offering, our capital stock, debt or a
combination of cash, capital stock and debt, in effecting a business
combination.
Business
Combination with Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.
On September 8, 2009, the Company entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, KW Merger
Sub Corp., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub) and Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.
(Kennedy-Wilson), pursuant to
which Merger Sub will merge (the Merger)
with and into Kennedy-Wilson, with Kennedy-Wilson continuing as the surviving
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as amended by
Amendment No. 1, dated as of October 22, 2009 and Amendment No. 2,
dated as of October 26, 2009 (the Merger Agreement).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, common stockholders
of Kennedy-Wilson will receive as consideration 3.8031 shares of the Companys
common stock for each share of Kennedy-Wilson common stock outstanding and preferred
stockholders of Kennedy-Wilson will receive as consideration 105.6412 shares of
the Companys common stock for each share of preferred outstanding, for an
aggregate consideration of 26 million shares of the Companys common
stock. In addition, up to 2.475 million restricted shares of the Companys
common stock will be issued to management of Kennedy-Wilson pursuant to an
equity compensation plan (the 2009 Plan) adopted by the Company and submitted
to the Companys stockholders for approval.
Upon consummation of the Merger, the Companys
founders will forfeit 4,750,000 of their founders shares. Following the
transaction, assuming 29.99% of the Companys stockholders exercise their
conversion rights, the Companys current stockholders will own 39.9% of the
Companys outstanding common stock, current common and preferred stockholders
of Kennedy-Wilson will own approximately 54.6%, and the other new stockholders
of the Company (including recipients of awards under the 2009 Plan) will own
approximately 5.5% of the Companys outstanding common stock.
As a condition to the closing of the Merger, holders
of the Companys warrants must approve an amendment (the Warrant Amendment) to the current
warrant agreement that governs all of the Companys warrants (the Prospect
Warrants), each of which is exercisable for one share of the Companys common
stock. The Warrant Amendment will provide that, at the closing of the Merger,
each holder of warrants issued in the Companys initial public offering (the Public
Warrants) must elect either: (i) to have the Public Warrant cashed out by
the Company for $0.55 in cash per Public Warrant, or (ii) to continue to
hold his, her or its Public Warrant, which will be amended to extend the
warrant termination date to 2013 from 2012, increase the exercise price to
$12.50 from $7.50 and increase the redemption price to $19.50 from $14.50. At
least 12.5 million Public Warrants must be redeemed for cash. In the event that holders in excess of 50% or
12,500,000 (the
15
Table of Contents
Warrant
Limit) of the Public Warrants elect to receive an amended warrant, a pro rata
portion of the Public Warrants
and
the
Sponsors Warrants, totaling such excess over the Warrant Limit, will
automatically be converted into the right to receive a cash amount of $0.55 per
warrant. In addition, the Warrant
Amendment will amend the terms of the Sponsors Warrants to extend the warrant
termination date to 2013 from 2012, increase the exercise price to $12.50 from
$7.50 and increase the redemption price to $19.50 from $14.50. If the Merger is
consummated, any holder of Public Warrants who votes against the approval of
the Warrant Amendment or who makes no election will receive $0.55 for each of
its Public Warrants.
The Merger Agreement contains customary
representations and warranties made by Kennedy-Wilson on the one hand, and the
Company and Merger Sub, as applicable on the other. Such representations relate to, among other
things, (a) proper corporate organization and similar corporate matters, (b) capital
structure, (c) the absence of undisclosed liabilities, (d) assets,
properties and intellectual property, (e) contracts, (f) compliance
with laws, (g) litigation, (h) related party transactions, (i) taxes,
(j) financial statements and (k) employee benefits. In addition, the Company represents and
warrants that its board of directors has determined that the fair market value
of Kennedy-Wilson equals at least 80% of the balance held in the Companys
trust account, less the portion of the underwriters deferred compensation.
Each party to the Merger Agreement has agreed to
perform or comply with certain customary covenants, including but not limited
to, covenants related to the parties conduct between signing and closing,
restrictions on the parties ability to solicit, negotiate or enter into a
transaction with another party, covenants related to the parties cooperation
and efforts to file a proxy statement and registration statement and related
effectiveness of the registration statement, covenants related to requirement
to call stockholder meetings and obtain the requisite stockholders and other
approvals, make appropriate regulatory and other filings, enter into employment
agreements with certain executive officer, and provide each other with access
to their respective materials, advisors and information.
The consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon,
among other things, (i) the performance by each of the Company and
Kennedy-Wilson in all material respects of their respective obligations under
the Merger Agreement, (ii) the accuracy of the representations and
warranties of the parties to the Merger Agreement, (iii) the receipt of
all required regulatory approvals and consents, (iv) the approval of the
Merger by the stockholders of the Company and Kennedy-Wilson, (v) the
approval by the preferred stockholders of Kennedy-Wilson of an amendment to the
preferred stock certificate of designation, (vi) the effectiveness of the
Companys registration statement, (vii) a requirement that holders of less
than 30% of the Companys common stock demand that the Company convert such
shares into cash, (viii) a requirement that the holders of no more than
10% of Kennedy-Wilson preferred stock and no more than 10% of Kennedy-Wilson
common stock shall have validly exercised their dissenters rights and (ix) the
requirement that the Company have available at closing for use by the surviving
combined company, a specified minimum amount of cash as calculated pursuant to
the Merger Agreement. The merger is also
subject to customary regulatory approvals, including approval under the
Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, and other customary closing
conditions, including no material adverse effect (as defined in the Merger
Agreement) on either Kennedy-Wilson or the Company.
The Merger Agreement also provides that the agreement
may be terminated (i) by mutual consent of the Company and Kennedy-Wilson,
(ii) by the Company if Kennedy-Wilson notifies the Company that it will be
unable to obtain one or more required consents by October 15, 2009 or (iii) by
either of the Company or Kennedy-Wilson, if (a) the Merger is not
consummated on or before November 14, 2009; (b) a governmental
authority shall enter an order which prohibits the Merger; (c) it is not
in material breach of the Merger Agreement and the other party is in breach of
the Merger Agreement in a manner which prevents satisfaction of the closing
conditions in the Merger Agreement, which breach is not cured with 10 business
days notice; (d) if the board of directors of the other party fails to
recommend, or withdraws or modifies its recommendations to the Merger
Agreement; (e) if the Companys common stockholders fail to approve the
Merger, or if 30% or more of the Companys common stockholders exercise their
redemption rights; or (f) if the Kennedy-Wilson stockholders do not
approve the Merger on or prior to November 13, 2009.
If the Merger Agreement is terminated as a result of
clause (iii)(f) above, Kennedy-Wilson will pay to the Company $10,000,000
as liquidated damages.
On October 30, 2009, the Company commenced its
mailing of the definitive proxy statements to its stockholders and warrant
holders, and will hold each of the special meeting of stockholders and the
special meeting of warrant holders on November 13, 2009, to vote upon the
proposed business combination and the matters associated therewith.
A more complete description of the Merger Agreement
and the transaction described above is set forth in the Companys Registration
Statement on Form S-4, which includes the Companys definitive proxy
statement relating to the
16

business
combination, declared effective by the SEC on October 28, 2009. Investors are urged to read the definitive
proxy statement in its entirety.
Investors are cautioned that the representations,
warranties and covenants included in the Merger Agreement were made only for
the purposes of such agreement and as of the specific dates set forth therein,
were solely for the benefits of the parties to the Merger Agreement, and may be
subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties including being
qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in
connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants
included in the Merger Agreement were made for the purpose of allocating
contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement, instead of
establishing such matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of
materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those
applicable to investors. Investors and
security holders are not third party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement,
and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants as
characterizations of the actual state of facts or conditions of the Company or
Kennedy-Wilson.
Results
of Operations
For the three months ended September 30, 2009, we
had a net loss of $765,480 as compared to net income of $278,211 for the three
months ended September 30, 2008.
The decrease in net income was primarily due to the decrease in interest
rates, resulting in a decrease in net interest income of $932,737, combined
with an increase in professional fees of $1,011,613 and an increase in
formation, operating, rent and office expenses of $18,564, partially offset by
a decrease in state and federal taxes of $919,223.
For the nine months ended September 30,
2009,
we had a net
loss of $1,022,864 as compared to net income of $1,546,396 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008. The
decrease in net income was primarily due to the decrease in interest rates,
resulting in a decrease in net interest income of $3,420,173, combined with an
increase in professional fees of $1,092,983 and an increase in formation, operating,
rent and office expenses of $3,766, partially offset by a decrease in state and
federal taxes of $1,947,662.
For the three months ended September 30,
2009,
our net loss of
$765,480 consisted of net interest income of $18,279 less costs attributable to
organization, formation and general and administrative expenses, primarily
professional fees, of $1,164,849 and a net benefit from federal income taxes of
$381,090. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, our net income of
$278,211 consisted of interest income of $951,016 less costs attributable to
organization, formation and general and administrative expenses of $134,672,
state taxes of $384,143 and a net provision for federal income taxes of
$153,990.
For the period from July 9, 2007 (date of
inception) through September 30, 2009, we had a
net income of $1,103,549,
consisting of net interest income of $4,948,658 less costs attributable to
organization, formation and general and administrative expenses of $2,367,062,
state taxes of $816,301 and a net provision for federal income taxes of
$661,746.
Through
September 30, 2009 we did not engage in any significant operations. Our
activities from inception through September 30, 2009 were to prepare for
and consummate our initial public offering and begin the identification of a
suitable business combination candidate.
17
Table of Contents
Financial
Condition and Liquidity
We consummated our initial
public offering of 25,000,000 units on November 20, 2007. Gross proceeds
from our initial public offering were $250,000,000. We paid a total of
$7,500,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $705,004 for other
costs and expenses related to the offering.
After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the
offering expenses, the total net proceeds including $5,250,000 from the sale of
the sponsor warrants to us from the offering were $247,044,996, and an amount
of $247,000,000, including $10,000,000 of deferred underwriting commissions,
was deposited into a trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA, maintained by
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee. We intend to
use substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering to acquire a target
business, including identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition
candidates, selecting the target business, and structuring, negotiating and
consummating the business combination. To the extent that our capital stock is
used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the
proceeds held in the trust account as well as any other net proceeds not
expended will be used to finance the operations of the target business. We
believe we will have sufficient available funds outside of the trust account to
operate through November 14, 2009, assuming that a business combination is
not consummated during that time.
The
following table reconciles the amount of net proceeds from our initial public
offering and private placement to the amount held in the trust account at September 30,
2009:

We intend to use
substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, less the payment due
the underwriter for the deferred underwriting discount, to acquire a target
business. However, as long as we consummate our initial business combination
with one or more target businesses with a fair market value in excess of 80% of
the balance in the trust account (excluding the amount held in the trust account
representing the underwriters deferred discount), we may use the assets in the
trust account for any purpose we may choose. To the extent that our capital
stock or debt is used in whole or in part as consideration to consummate our
initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account
will be used as working capital, including director and officer compensation,
change-in-control payments or payments to affiliates, or to finance the
operations of the target business, make other acquisitions and pursue our
growth strategies.
We believe that the funds
that were available to us outside of the trust account of $50,000 and up to
$2,750,000 of the interest earned on the trust account will be sufficient to
allow us to operate through November 14, 2009, assuming that our initial
business combination is not consummated during that time. During this period,
although we are not required to, we intend to use these funds to identify and
evaluate prospective acquisition candidates, to perform business due diligence
on prospective target businesses, to travel to and from offices or similar
locations of prospective target businesses, to select the target business to
acquire and to structure, negotiate, and consummate our initial business
combination.
We anticipate that we will
incur approximately $1,300,000 of expenses for legal, accounting and other
expenses attendant to the due diligence investigation, structuring and
negotiating of our initial business combination, $180,000 in the aggregate for the
administrative fee payable to Teleos Management, L.L.C. and LLM Capital
Partners LLC (currently $4,083.15 and $2,722.10, respectively, per month) and
office rent, $100,000 of expenses in legal and accounting fees relating to our
SEC reporting obligations, and $1,220,000 for general working capital that can
be used in connection with our acquisition plans. We do not believe that we
will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required
for operating our business. However, we may need to raise additional funds
through an offering of debt or equity securities if funds are required to
consummate a business combination that is presented to us, although we have not
entered into any such arrangements and have no current intention of doing so.
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIV
E AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
To date, our efforts have
been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to our initial
public offering and the identification of a target business. We have neither engaged
in any operations nor generated any revenues. As the proceeds from our initial
public offering held in the trust account have been invested in short term
investments, our only market risk exposure relates to fluctuations in interest.
18
Table of
Contents
As of September 30,
2009, $247,701,876 of the net proceeds of our initial public offering
(excluding $6,219 of accrued interest) was held in the trust account for the
purposes of consummating our initial business combination. Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee, has invested the money held in
the trust account at JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA.
We have not engaged in any
hedging activities since our inception on July 9, 2007. We do not expect
to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we
are exposed.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PR
OCEDURES
The Company maintains
disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules, regulations and
related forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management on a timely basis to allow decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management, including our
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) of
the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2009. Based upon that evaluation,
management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
During the most recently
completed fiscal quarter, there was no change in our internal control over
financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2 UNREG
ISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEEDS
On November 20, 2007,
we closed our initial public offering of 25,000,000 units, with each unit
consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant, each to purchase
one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. The
units from the initial public offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00
per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $250,000,000. Citigroup Global
Markets Inc. acted as the sole bookrunning manager and Ladenburg Thalmann &
Co. Inc. and I-Bankers Securities, Inc. acted as co-managers of the
initial public offering. The securities sold in the offering were registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-
145110). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration
statement effective on November 14, 2007.
We paid a total of
$7,500,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $705,004 for other
costs and expenses related to the offering.
We also consummated the
simultaneous private sale of 5,250,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per
warrant, generating total proceeds of $5,250,000. The warrants were purchased
by Flat Ridge Investments LLC, LLM Structured Equity Fund L.P., LLM Investors
L.P. and Capital Management Systems, Inc.
The warrants are identical to the Warrants included in the Units sold in
the IPO except that the warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and, if we
call the warrants for redemption, the warrants will not be redeemable by us so
long as they are held by these purchasers or their permitted transferees. The
purchasers of the warrants have agreed that the warrants will not be sold or
transferred by them until 30 days after we have completed a business
combination.
After deducting the underwriting discounts and
commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds to us from the
offering were $247,044,996, and an amount of $247,000,000, including
$10,000,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, was deposited into the trust
account.
As of September 30,
2009, we have paid an aggregate of $3,841,962 in expenditures, which have
been paid out of the proceeds of our initial public offering not held in trust,
the sale of shares of common stock to the initial stockholders and our
withdrawal of $4,320,756 of interest earned on the funds held in trust, for the
following purposes:
·
payment of taxes;
·
payment of premiums associated with our directors
and officers liability insurance;
·
expenses
for due diligence and investigation of prospective target businesses;
·
Legal and accounting fees relating to our SEC
reporting obligations and general corporate matters; and
·
miscellaneous expenses.
As of September 30,
2009, after giving effect to our initial public offering and our operations subsequent
thereto,
$247,701,876 (excluding $6,219 of accrued interest)
was held in the trust account and we had $548,696
of unrestricted cash available to us for our activities in connection with
identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination,
and for general corporate matters.
