Rhapsody
Acquisition Corp. is
a blank
check company formed on April 24, 2006 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger,
capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination
with an operating business.
On
October 10, 2006, we consummated our initial public offering of 5,175,000 units,
including 675,000 units subject to the over-allotment option, 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 $5.00 per share. The
units
were sold at an offering price of $8.00 per unit, generating total gross
proceeds of $41,400,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of our initial
public offering, we consummated the private sale of 1,136,364 warrants at $1.10
per warrant to certain of our initial stockholders and affiliates for an
aggregate purchase price of $1,250,000. After deducting the underwriting
discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds
to
us from the offering were $38,833,559, of which $38,028,250 was deposited into
the trust account. In addition, all of the proceeds from the private sale of
the
warrants were deposited into the trust fund, for a total of $39,278,250 held
in
trust (or approximately $7.59 per share sold in the offering). The proceeds
that
were not deposited into the trust fund are available to be used to search for
potential target businesses, conduct business, legal and accounting due
diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and
administrative expenses (collectively referred to as “costs and expenses”).
Through March 31, 2007, we have used $290,069 of the net proceeds that were
not
deposited into the trust fund to pay for our costs and expenses. The net
proceeds deposited into the trust fund remain on deposit in the trust fund
earning interest. As of March 31, 2007, there is $39,922,072 held in the trust
fund.
We
are
not presently engaged in, and we will not engage in, any substantive commercial
business until we consummate a business combination. We intend to utilize our
cash, including the funds held in the trust fund, capital stock, debt or a
combination of the foregoing in effecting a business combination. A business
combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which
does
not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public
trading market for its shares, while avoiding what it may deem to be adverse
consequences of undertaking a public offering itself. These include time delays,
significant expense, loss of voting control and compliance with various Federal
and state securities laws. In the alternative, we may seek to consummate a
business combination with a company that may be financially unstable or in
its
early stages of development or growth.
Liquidation
if no business combination
Pursuant
to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if we do not complete
a business combination by October 3, 2008, our corporate existence will cease
except for the purposes of winding up our affairs and liquidating, pursuant
to
Section 278 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. We will thereafter
distribute to all holders of IPO Shares, in proportion to the number of IPO
Shares held by them, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust fund,
inclusive of any interest, plus any remaining net assets (subject to our
obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors). We
anticipate notifying the trustee of the trust fund to begin liquidating such
assets promptly after such date and anticipate it will take no more than 10
business days to effectuate such distribution. Our initial officers, directors,
special advisors or stockholders (collectively, our “Founders”) have waived
their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to
their respective shares of common stock owned by them immediately prior to
our
initial public offering (“Founder Shares”). There will be no distribution from
the trust fund with respect to our warrants. We will pay the costs of
liquidation from our remaining assets outside of the trust fund. If such funds
are insufficient, the Founders have agreed to advance us the funds necessary
to
complete such liquidation and have agreed not to seek repayment of such
expenses.
If
we
were to expend all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering, other
than the proceeds deposited in the trust fund, the per-share liquidation price
as of March 31, 2007 would have been $7.71. However, the proceeds deposited
in
the trust fund could become subject to the claims of our creditors which could
be prior to the claims of our public stockholders. Eric S. Rosenfeld, our
chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president, has
agreed that, if
we
liquidate prior to the consummation of a business combination, he will
be
personally liable to pay debts and obligations to various vendors
or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or products
sold to us, or to any target business, to
the
extent such entities bring claims that would otherwise require payment from
moneys in the trust fund.
Selection
of a target business and structuring of a business
combination
We
anticipate that target business candidates will be brought to our attention
from
various unaffiliated sources, including investment bankers, venture capital
funds, private equity funds, leveraged buyout funds, management buyout funds
and
other members of the financial community. Target businesses may be brought
to
our attention by such unaffiliated sources as a result of being solicited by
us
through calls, mailings or other advertisements. These sources may also
introduce us to target businesses they think we may be interested in on an
unsolicited basis, since many of these sources will have read our prospectus
and
know what types of businesses we are targeting. Our officers and directors,
as
well as their affiliates, may also bring to our attention target business
candidates that they become aware of through their business contacts as a result
of formal or informal inquiries or discussions they may have, as well as
attending trade shows or conventions. We have, and may again in the future,
engage professional firms that specialize in business acquisitions to assist
us
in our search for a target business. If we do, we may be required to pay such
firm a finder’s fee or other compensation. In no event, however, will we pay any
of our Founders or any entity with which they are affiliated any finder’s fee or
other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to
effectuate, the consummation of a business combination (regardless of the type
of transaction that it is).
Subject
to the requirement that our initial business combination must be with a target
business with a fair market value that is at least 80% of our net assets at
the
time of the acquisition, our
management has virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting
a
prospective target business. In evaluating a prospective target business, our
management considers, among other factors, the following:
|
·
|
financial
condition and results of operation;
|
|
·
|
experience
and skill of management and availability of additional
personnel;
|
|
·
|
stage
of development of the products, processes or
services;
|
|
·
|
degree
of current or potential market acceptance of the products, processes
or
services;
|
|
·
|
proprietary
features and degree of intellectual property or other protection
of the
products, processes or services;
|
|
·
|
regulatory
environment of the industry; and
|
|
·
|
costs
associated with effecting the business
combination.
|
These
criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the
merits of a particular business combination will be based, to the extent
relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant
by our management in effecting a business combination consistent with our
business objective. In evaluating a prospective target business, we conduct
extensive due diligence reviews which encompass, among other things, meetings
with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as review of
financial and other information which will be made available to us.
Fair
Market Value of Target Business
The
initial target business that we acquire must have a fair market value equal
to
at least 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition. The fair market
value of such business will be determined by our board of directors based upon
one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community (such as
actual and potential sales, earnings and cash flow and/or book value). If our
board is not able to independently determine that the target business has a
sufficient fair market value, we will obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated,
independent investment banking firm with respect to the satisfaction of such
criteria. We will not be required to obtain an opinion from an investment
banking firm as to the fair market value if our board of directors independently
determines that the target business has sufficient fair market value.
Opportunity
for stockholder approval of business combination
Prior
to
the completion of a business combination, we will submit the transaction to
our
stockholders for approval, even if the nature of the transaction is such as
would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable state law.
In
connection with any such transaction, we will also submit to our stockholders
for approval a proposal to amend our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation to provide for our corporate life to continue perpetually
following the consummation of such business combination. Any vote to extend
the
corporate life to continue perpetually following the consummation of a business
combination will be taken only if the business combination is approved. We
will
only consummate a business combination if stockholders vote both in favor of
such business combination and our amendment to extend our corporate
life.
In
connection with seeking stockholder approval of a business combination, we
will
furnish our stockholders with proxy solicitation materials prepared in
accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which, among other matters,
will include a description of the operations of the target business and audited
historical financial statements of the business. We will publicly announce
the
record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting
to
approve our business combination at least two business days prior to such record
date.
In
connection with the vote required for any business combination, our Founders
have agreed to vote their Founder Shares in accordance with the vote of the
majority of the shares of our common stock sold in such offering (“IPO Shares”).
This voting arrangement shall not apply to any shares included in units
purchased by our Founders in our initial public offering or purchased by them
after such offering in the open market. We will proceed with the business
combination only if a majority of the IPO Shares present at the meeting to
approve a business combination are voted in favor of such business combination
and stockholders holding less than 20% of the IPO Shares exercise their
conversion rights.
Conversion
rights
At
the
time we seek stockholder approval of any business combination, we will offer
the
holders of IPO Shares the right to have such shares 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, as of two business
days prior to the consummation of the business combination, divided by the
total
number of IPO Shares. As of March 31, 2007, the per-share conversion price
would
have been $7.71. An eligible stockholder may request conversion at any time
after the mailing to our stockholders of the proxy statement and prior to the
vote taken with respect to a proposed business combination at a meeting held
for
that purpose, but the request will not be granted unless the stockholder votes
against the business combination and the business combination is approved and
completed. Any request for conversion, once made, may be withdrawn at any time
up to the date of the meeting. It is anticipated that the funds to be
distributed to stockholders entitled to convert their shares who elect
conversion will be distributed promptly after completion of a business
combination. We will not complete any business combination if stockholders
owning 20% or more of the IPO Shares exercise their conversion rights. Holders
of IPO Shares who convert their stock into their share of the trust fund still
have the right to exercise any warrants they continue to hold that they
purchased as part of the units.
Competition
In
identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business, we expect to encounter
intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar
to
ours. There are numerous blank check companies that have completed initial
public offerings that are seeking to carry out a business plan similar to our
business plan. Additionally, we may be subject to competition from entities
other than blank check companies having a business objective similar to ours,
including venture capital firms, leverage buyout firms and operating businesses
looking to expand their operations through the acquisition of a target business.
Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience
identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates.
Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources
than us and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted
with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there are numerous
potential target businesses that we could acquire, our ability to compete in
acquiring certain sizable target businesses will be limited by our available
financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an
advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business.
Further:
|
·
|
our
obligation to seek stockholder approval of a business combination
may
delay the completion of a
transaction;
|
|
·
|
our
obligation to convert into cash shares of common stock held by our
public
stockholders in certain instances may reduce the resources available
to us
for a business combination; and
|
|
·
|
our
outstanding warrants and options, and the future dilution they potentially
represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses.
|
Any
of
these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully
negotiating a business combination. Our management believes, however, that
our
status as a public entity and potential access to the United States public
equity markets may give us a competitive advantage over privately-held entities
having a similar business objective as us in acquiring a target business on
favorable terms.
If
we
succeed in effecting a business combination, there will be, in all likelihood,
intense competition from competitors of the target business. We cannot assure
you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources
or
ability to compete effectively.
Employees
We
have
three executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to contribute
any
specific number of hours to our matters and intend to devote only as much time
as they deem necessary to our affairs. The amount of time they 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.
Risks
associated with our business
In
addition to other information included in this report, the following factors
should be considered in evaluating our business and future
prospects.
We
are a development stage company with no operating history and very limited
resources.
We
are a
recently incorporated development stage company with no operating results to
date. Since we do not have an operating history, you will have no basis upon
which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective, which is to
acquire an operating business. We will not generate any revenues until, at
the
earliest, after the consummation of a business combination.
If
third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in trust could be
reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by stockholders will be
less than $7.71 per share.
Our
placing of funds in trust may not protect those funds from third party claims
against us. The proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims which could
take priority over the claims of our public stockholders. We cannot assure
you
that the per-share liquidation price will not be less than the $7.71 per share
held in trust as of March 31, 2007 due to claims of creditors. If
we
liquidate before the completion of a business combination, Eric S. Rosenfeld,
our chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president, has agreed
that he will be personally liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust
fund
are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or various vendors or other
entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or products sold to
us.
However, we cannot assure you that he will be able to satisfy those
obligations. Furthermore,
even after our liquidation (including the distribution of the monies then held
in the trust fund), under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders
may
be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent
of distributions received by them in a dissolution. Accordingly, we cannot
assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from our stockholders
amounts owed to them by us.
Our
stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the
extent of distributions received by them.
Our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will continue
in existence only until October 3, 2008. If we have not completed a business
combination by such date and amended this provision in connection thereto,
pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, our corporate existence will
cease except for the purposes of winding up our affairs and liquidating. Under
Sections 280 through 282 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders
may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the
extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. If the corporation
complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision
for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any
third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period
during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional
150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to
stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating
distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of
the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of
the
stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.
However, it is our intention to make liquidating distributions to our
stockholders as soon as reasonably possible after October 3, 2008 and,
therefore, we do not intend to comply with those procedures. Because we will
not
be complying with those procedures, we are required, pursuant to Section 281
of
the Delaware General Corporation Law, to adopt a plan that will provide for
our
payment, based on facts known to us at such time, of (i) all existing claims,
(ii) all pending claims and (iii) all claims that may be potentially brought
against us within the subsequent 10 years. Accordingly, we would be required
to
provide for any creditors known to us at that time or those that we believe
could be potentially brought against us within the subsequent 10 years prior
to
distributing the funds held in the trust to stockholders. We cannot assure
you
that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against
us. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to
the
extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of
our
stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of such date.
Accordingly, we cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover
from our stockholders amounts owed to them by us.
If
we are
forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed
against us which is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders
could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as
either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a
bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by our stockholders.
Furthermore, because we intend to distribute the proceeds held in the trust
account to our public stockholders promptly after October 3, 2008, this may
be
viewed or interpreted as giving preference to our public stockholders over
any
potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from our assets.
Furthermore, our board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties
to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith; thereby exposing itself
and
our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from
the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure
you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.
You
will not be able to exercise your warrants if we do not have an effective
registration statement in place when you desire to do so.
No
warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue shares of
common stock unless at the time a holder seeks to exercise such warrant, a
prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant
is
current. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed to use our
best efforts to meet these conditions and to maintain a current prospectus
relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the
expiration of the warrants. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able
to do so, and if we do not maintain a current prospectus related to the common
stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, holders will be unable to exercise
their warrants. Additionally, we have no obligation to settle the warrants
for
cash or “net cash settle” any warrant exercise. Accordingly, if the prospectus
relating to the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants is
not
current, the warrants may have no value, the market for the warrants may be
limited and the warrants may expire worthless. If the warrants expire worthless,
this would mean that a person who paid $8.00 for a unit in our IPO and who
did
not sell the warrant included in the unit would have effectively paid $8.00
for
one share of our common stock.
An
investor will only be able to exercise a warrant if the issuance of common
stock
upon such exercise has been registered or qualified or is deemed exempt under
the securities laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants.
No
warrants will be exercisable by a warrant holder and we will not be obligated
to
issue shares of common stock unless the common stock issuable upon such exercise
has been registered or qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities
laws of the state of residence of the holder of the warrants. At the time that
the warrants become exercisable (following our completion of a business
combination), we expect to either become listed on a national securities
exchange, which would provide an exemption from registration in every state,
or
we would register the warrants in every state (or seek another exemption from
registration in such states). Accordingly, we believe holders in every state
will be able to exercise their warrants as long as our prospectus relating
to
the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is current. However,
we
cannot assure you of this fact. If a warrant holder is unable to exercise his
warrants in a particular state, he may be forced to sell his warrant and
therefore lose out of the benefit of purchasing our stock. Furthermore, the
price he receives for his warrant may not equal the difference between the
exercise price and the stock price.
Because
there are numerous companies with a business plan similar to ours seeking to
effectuate a business combination, it may be more difficult for us to do
so.
There
are
numerous similarly structured blank check companies which have completed initial
public offerings with business plans similar to ours and there are a number
of
additional offerings for blank check companies that are still in the
registration process but have not completed initial public offerings. While
some
of those companies must complete a business combination in specific industries,
a number of them may consummate a business combination in any industry they
choose. Therefore, we may be subject to competition from these and other
companies seeking to consummate a business plan similar to ours. Because of
this
competition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to effectuate a business
combination prior to October 3, 2008.
Since
we have not currently selected a particular industry or target business with
which to complete a business combination, we are unable to currently ascertain
the merits or risks of the industry or business in which we may ultimately
operate.
We
may
consummate a business combination with a company in any industry we choose
and
are not limited to any particular industry or type of business. Accordingly,
there is no basis for investors to evaluate the possible merits or risks of
the
target business’ operations. To the extent we complete a business combination
with a financially unstable company or an entity in its development stage,
we
may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business operations of those
entities. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent
in a particular industry or target business, we cannot assure you that we will
properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors. We also cannot
assure you that an investment in our securities will not ultimately prove to
be
less favorable than a direct investment, if an opportunity were available,
in a
target business.
We
may issue shares of our common stock and preferred stock to complete a business
combination, which would reduce the equity interest of our stockholders and
likely cause a change in control of our ownership.
Our
amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of
up
to 15,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, and 1,000,000
shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share. We currently have
1,488,636 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 initially granted
to EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., the representative of the underwriters in our initial
public offering) and all of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock available
for issuance.
Although
we currently have no commitments to issue our securities, we will, in all
likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional shares of our common stock
or preferred stock, or a combination of common and preferred stock, 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 reduce the equity interest of
stockholders;
|
|
·
|
may
subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if the preferred
stock
includes rights senior to the common
stock;
|
|
·
|
will
likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares
of
common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our
ability
to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and 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 pay our debt
obligations;
|
|
·
|
acceleration
of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made
all
principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contains
covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios
or
reserves and any such covenant is breached without a waiver or
renegotiation of that covenant;
|
|
·
|
our
immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any,
if the
debt security is payable on demand;
and
|
|
·
|
our
inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt
security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional
financing while such security is
outstanding.
|
The
ability of our stockholders to exercise their conversion rights may not allow
us
to effectuate the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital
structure.
When
we
seek stockholder approval of any business combination, we will offer each public
stockholder the right to have his, her or its shares of common stock converted
to cash if the stockholder votes against the business combination and the
business combination is approved and completed. Such holder must both vote
against such business combination and then exercise his, her or its conversion
rights to receive a pro rata portion of the trust account. Accordingly, if
our
business combination requires us to use substantially all of our cash to pay
the
purchase price, because we will not know how many stockholders may exercise
such
conversion rights, we may either need to reserve part of the trust account
for
possible payment upon such conversion, or we may need to arrange third party
financing to help fund our business combination in case a larger percentage
of
stockholders exercise their conversion rights than we expect. Therefore, we
may
not be able to consummate a business combination that requires us to use all
of
the funds held in the trust account as part of the purchase price, or we may
end
up having a leverage ratio that is not optimal for our business combination.
This may limit our ability to effectuate the most attractive business
combination available to us.
Our
ability to successfully effect a business combination and to be successful
thereafter will be totally dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel,
some
of whom may join us following a business combination.
Our
ability to successfully effect a business combination is dependent upon the
efforts of our key personnel. The role of our key personnel in the target
business, however, cannot presently be ascertained. Although some of our key
personnel may remain with the target business in senior management or advisory
positions following a business combination, it is likely that some or all of
the
management of the target business will remain in place. While we intend to
closely scrutinize any individuals we engage after a business combination,
we
cannot assure you that our assessment of these individuals will prove to be
correct. These individuals may be unfamiliar with the requirements of operating
a public company which could cause us to have to expend time and resources
helping them become familiar with such requirements. This could be expensive
and
time-consuming and could lead to various regulatory issues which may adversely
affect our operations.
Our
key personnel may negotiate employment or consulting agreements with a target
business in connection with a particular business combination. These agreements
may provide for them to receive compensation following a business combination
and as a result, may cause them to have conflicts of interest in determining
whether a particular business combination is the most advantageous to us.
Our
key
personnel will be able to remain with the company after the consummation of
a
business combination only if they are able to negotiate employment or consulting
agreements in connection with the business combination. Such negotiations would
take place simultaneously with the negotiation of the business combination
and
could provide for such individuals to receive compensation in the form of cash
payments and/or our securities for services they would render to the company
after the consummation of the business combination. The personal and financial
interests of such individuals may influence their motivation in identifying
and
selecting a target business. However we believe the ability of such individuals
to remain with the company after the consummation of a business combination
will
not be the main determining factor in our decision as to whether or not we
will
proceed with any potential business combination.
Our
officers and directors allocate their time to other businesses thereby causing
conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote
to
our affairs. This could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate
a
business combination.
Our
officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our
affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time
between our operations and other businesses. We
do not
intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business
combination. All
of
our executive officers are engaged in several other business endeavors and
are
not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours to our affairs. If
our
executive officers’ 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.
Our
officers and directors 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.
While
our
officers and directors do not currently have any contractual obligations to
present potential business combination opportunities to any other company,
including other “blank check” companies, such individuals are affiliated with
other businesses and as a result may have similar fiduciary obligations for
presenting business opportunities to such entities as well as to our company.
While we do not believe such businesses would be evaluating the same type of
potential target businesses that we would, as they are mainly operating
companies with established operations, a situation could arise where the same
target business could be an attractive acquisition candidate for us and one
or
more of such other businesses. Additionally, our officers and directors 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. Accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in determining
to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. We cannot
assure you that these conflicts will be resolved in our favor. As a result,
a
potential target business may be presented to another entity prior to its
presentation to us, potentially depriving us of an attractive business
combination.
All
of our officers and directors own shares of our common stock issued prior to
this offering and several of our directors and an entity controlled by our
special advisor own warrants. These securities will not participate in
liquidation distributions. Therefore, our officers and directors may have a
conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is
appropriate for a business combination.
All
of
our officers and directors own shares of our common stock and Eric S. Rosenfeld,
our chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president, Messrs.
Leonard B. Schlemm, Jon Bauer and Colin D. Watson, each a member of our board
of
directors, and Gotham Capital V, an entity controlled by Joel Greenblatt, our
special advisor, have purchased insider warrants. Such individuals have waived
their right to receive distributions upon our liquidation with respect to these
shares of common stock if we are unable to consummate a business combination.
The warrants acquired by our officers or directors will be worthless if we
do
not consummate a business combination. The personal and financial interests
of
our directors and officers may influence their motivation in timely identifying
and selecting a target business and completing a business combination.
Consequently, our directors’ and officers’ discretion in identifying and
selecting a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when
determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of a particular business
combination are appropriate and in our stockholders’ best interest.
After
our business combination, we will be solely dependent on a single business
and a
limited number of products or services.
Our
business combination must be with a business with a fair market value of at
least 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition, although this
may
entail the simultaneous acquisitions of several operating businesses at the
same
time. By consummating a business combination with only a single entity, our
lack
of diversification may subject us to numerous economic, competitive and
regulatory developments. Further, we would not be able to diversify our
operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of
losses, unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several
business combinations in different industries or different areas of a single
industry. Accordingly, the prospects for our success may be:
|
·
|
solely
dependent upon the performance of a single business,
or
|
|
·
|
dependent
upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited
number of
products, processes or services.
|
Alternatively,
if our business combination entails the simultaneous acquisitions of several
operating businesses at the same time from different sellers, we would face
additional risks, including difficulties and expenses incurred in connection
with the subsequent integration of the operations and services or products
of
the acquired companies into a single operating business. If we are unable to
adequately address these risks, it could negatively impact our profitability
and
results of operations.
Because
of our limited resources and structure, we may not be able to consummate an
attractive business combination.
We
expect
to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective
similar to ours, including venture capital funds, leveraged buyout funds and
operating businesses competing for acquisitions. Many of these entities are
well
established and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business
combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess
greater technical, human and other resources than we do and our financial
resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of
these
competitors. While we believe that there are numerous potential target
businesses that we could acquire, our ability to compete in acquiring certain
sizable target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources.
This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing
the
acquisition of certain target businesses. Further, the obligation we have to
seek stockholder approval of a business combination may delay the consummation
of a transaction, and our obligation to convert into cash the shares of common
stock held by public stockholders in certain instances may reduce the resources
available for a business combination. Additionally, our outstanding warrants
and
options, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed
favorably by certain target businesses. Any of these obligations may place
us at
a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination.
Additionally, because of our structure, there may be fewer attractive target
businesses available to acquire or privately held target businesses may not
be
inclined to enter into a transaction with a publicly held blank check company
like us.
We
may be unable to obtain additional financing, if required, to complete a
business combination or to fund the operations and growth of the target
business, which could compel us to restructure the transaction or abandon a
particular business combination.
Although
we believe our current assets will be sufficient to allow us to consummate
a
business combination, in as much as we have not yet identified any prospective
target business, we cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular
transaction. If we require further funds, either because of the size of the
business combination or the depletion of our available cash in search of a
target business, or because we become obligated to convert into cash a
significant number of shares from dissenting stockholders, we will be required
to seek additional financing. We cannot assure you that such financing would
be
available on acceptable terms, if at all. To the extent that additional
financing proves to be unavailable when needed to consummate a particular
business combination, we would be compelled to restructure the transaction
or
abandon that particular business combination and seek an alternative target
business candidate. In addition, if we consummate a business combination, we
may
require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the target
business. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material
adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the target business.
None of our officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any
financing to us in connection with or after a business combination.
Our
Founders, including our officers and directors, control a substantial interest
in us and thus may influence certain actions requiring stockholder
vote.
Our
board
of directors is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve
for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in
each
year. It is unlikely that there will be an annual meeting of stockholders to
elect new directors prior to the consummation of a business combination, in
which case all of the current directors will continue in office at least until
the consummation of the business combination. If there is an annual meeting,
as
a consequence of our “staggered” board of directors, only a minority of the
board of directors will be considered for election and our Founders, because
of
their ownership position, will have considerable influence regarding the
outcome. Accordingly, our Founders will continue to exert control at least
until
the consummation of a business combination.
Our
outstanding warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of common
stock and make it more difficult to effect a business
combination.
We
currently have outstanding warrants to purchase 6,311,364 shares of common
stock
and an option to purchase 450,000 shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase an additional 450,000 shares of common stock. To the extent we issue
shares of common stock to effect a business combination, the potential for
the
issuance of substantial numbers of additional shares upon exercise of these
warrants and options could make us a less attractive acquisition vehicle in
the
eyes of a target business as such securities, when exercised, will increase
the
number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and reduce the
value
of the shares issued to complete the business combination. Accordingly, our
warrants and options 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
options 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 options are exercised, you may experience dilution to your
holdings.
If
we are unable to effect a business combination and are forced to liquidate,
our
warrants will expire worthless.
If
we do
not complete a business combination by October 3, 2008, we will distribute
to
all holders of IPO Shares, in proportion to the number of IPO Shares held by
them, an aggregate sum equal to the amount in the trust fund, inclusive of
any
interest, plus any remaining net assets. In
such
event, there will be no distribution with respect to our outstanding warrants.
Accordingly, the warrants will expire worthless.
If
our Founders (including the holders of the insider warrants) exercise their
registration rights, it may have an adverse effect on the market price our
common stock and the existence of these rights may make it more difficult to
effect a business combination.
Our
Founders are entitled to demand that we register the resale of their shares
of
common stock at any time after the date on which their shares are released
from
escrow. Additionally, the holders of the insider warrants are entitled to demand
that we register the resale of their insider warrants and underlying shares
of
common stock at any time after we consummate a business combination. If such
individuals exercise their registration rights with respect to all of their
securities, then there could be an additional 1,125,000 shares of common stock
and 1,136,364 warrants (and 1,136,364 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.
Our
securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which limits the liquidity
and
price of our securities.
Our
securities are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, an NASD-sponsored and operated
inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities not included
on
The Nasdaq Stock Market. Quotation of our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board
limits the liquidity and price of our securities more than if our securities
were quoted or listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or a national exchange.
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.
A
company
that, among other things, is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily,
or
proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning,
trading or holding certain types of securities would be deemed an investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Since we will invest the
proceeds held in the trust fund, it is possible that we could be deemed an
investment company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 be invested by the trustee
only 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. 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
are, however, deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, we may be subject to certain restrictions that may make it more
difficult for us to complete a business combination, including:
|
·
|
restrictions
on the nature of our investments;
and
|
|
·
|
restrictions
on the issuance of securities.
|
In
addition, we may have imposed upon us burdensome requirements,
including:
|
·
|
registration
as an investment company;
|
|
·
|
adoption
of a specific form of corporate structure;
and
|
|
·
|
reporting,
record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other
rules
and regulations.
|
Compliance
with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expense that
we have not allotted for.

2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We

New
York pursuant to an agreement with Crescendo Advisors II LLC, an affiliate
of
Eric S. Rosenfeld, our chairman of the board, chief executive officer and
president. We pay Crescendo Advisors II a monthly fee of $7,500 for general

administrative services, including use of these offices. We believe, based
on
rents and fees for similar services in the New York City metropolitan area,
that
the fee charged by Crescendo Advisors II 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.

Such
shares were issued in connection with our organization pursuant to the exemption
from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as they were
sold to sophisticated, accredited, wealthy individuals and entities who had
access to information with respect to our operations and were able to ask
questions of our officers and directors regarding our company. The shares issued
to the individuals and entities above were sold at a purchase price of
approximately $0.0222 per share.
Initial
Public Offering
On
October 10, 2006, we consummated our initial public offering of 5,175,000 units,
including 675,000 units subject to the over-allotment option, with each unit
consisting of one share of our common stock and one warrant, to purchase one
share of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The units
were sold at an offering price of $8.00 per unit, generating total gross
proceeds of $41,400,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of our initial
public offering, we consummated the private sale of 1,136,364 warrants at $1.10
per warrant to certain of our initial stockholders and affiliates for an
aggregate purchase price of $1,250,000. EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. acted as
representative of the underwriters. The securities sold in the offering were
registered under the Securities Act of 1933 on a registration statement on
Form
S-1 (No. 333-134694). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the
registration statement effective on October 3, 2006.
We
paid a
total of $2,018,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions, and $548,441
was
paid for costs and expenses related to the offering.
After
deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses,
the total net proceeds to us from the offering were $38,833,559, of which
$38,028,250 was deposited into a trust fund. In addition, all of the proceeds
from the private sale of the warrants were deposited into the trust fund, for
a
total of $39,278,250 deposited into the trust fund. The proceeds not placed
in
the trust fund became available to be used to pay our costs and expenses. The
net proceeds deposited into the trust fund remain on deposit in the trust fund
and have earned $643,822 in interest through March 31, 2007.
ITEM
6. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s
Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto contained in this
report.
Overview
We
were
formed on April 24, 2006 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital
stock
exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination with
an
operating business.
Until
consummation of our initial public offering in October 2006, all of our activity
related to our formation and initial public offering. Since then, we have been
searching for prospective target businesses to acquire. We
intend
to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our recently completed public
offering, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and
debt, in effecting a business combination.
Forward
Looking Statements
The
statements discussed in this Report include forward looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Results
of Operations
Net
income for the period from April 24, 2006 (inception) to March 31, 2007 of
$351,102 consisted of $654,055 of interest income, offset by $44,516 of monthly
administrative fees, $31,059 of directors and officers liability insurance,
$73,614 of marketing expenses, $24,877 of Delaware franchise taxes, $11,658
of
printing expenses, $17,895 of travel expenses, $24,594 of professional fees
and
licenses, $1,786 of other operating costs and $72,954 of state and local taxes.
Since the majority of the Company’s interest income is not subject to federal
income taxes, Rhapsody generated a net operating loss of approximately $220,000
for federal income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance was made for the
resulting deferred tax asset, as it is uncertain if and when the Company will
be
able to utilize this net operating loss.
We
consummated our initial public offering on October 10, 2006. Gross proceeds
from
our initial public offering were $41,400,000. We paid a total of $2,018,000
in
underwriting discounts and commissions, and $548,441 was paid for costs and
expenses related to the offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts
and
commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds to us from the
offering were $38,833,559, of which $38,028,250 was deposited into the trust
account. In addition, all of the proceeds from the private sale of the warrants
($1,250,000) were deposited into the trust fund, for a total of $39,278,250
held
in trust (or approximately $7.59 per share sold in the offering). The remaining
proceeds are available to be used by us 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
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 fund 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 fund to
operate through October 3, 2008, assuming that a business combination is not
consummated during that time. We do not believe we will need to raise additional
funds following this offering in order to meet the expenditures required for
operating our business. However, we may need to raise additional funds through
a
private offering of debt or equity securities if such funds are required to
consummate a business combination that is presented to us. We would only
consummate such a financing simultaneously with the consummation of a business
combination.
Commencing
on October 3, 2006 and ending upon the acquisition of a target business, we
began incurring a fee from Crescendo Advisors II LLC, an affiliate of Eric
S.
Rosenfeld, our chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president,
of
$7,500 per month for providing us with office space and certain general and
administrative services through March 31, 2007, we had incurred $44,516 for
full
services. In addition, in May 2006, Mr. Rosenfeld advanced $90,000 to us for
payment on our behalf of offering expenses. This amount was repaid following
our
initial public offering from the net proceeds of the offering.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We
believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgments
and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements: Cash
and Cash Equivalents, Net Income Per Common Share
and
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions.
These
significant accounting policies are described in detail in the Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies section of our annual financial statements,
included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of
March 31, 2007, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined
in
Item 303 (a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or
submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls
and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed
to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or
submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management,
including our chief executive officer and treasurer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As
required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our chief executive
officer and chief financial officer carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of March 31, 2007. Based on their evaluation, they concluded
that
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Our
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under
the
supervision of, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer and
effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and
the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial
reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance
of
records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts
and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of
our
board of directors and management; and provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition
of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial
statements.
During
the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our
internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our officers,
directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common
stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These
reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file. Based solely on copies of such forms received or written
representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5s were required
for
those persons, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007,
all
filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than
ten
percent beneficial owners were complied with.
Code
of Ethics
In
October 2006, our board of directors adopted a code of ethics that applies
to
our directors, officers and employees as well as those of our subsidiaries.
A
copy of our code of ethics is attached as an exhibit to this Annual Report.
Requests for copies of our code of ethics should be sent in writing to Rhapsody
Acquisition Corp., 10 East 53rd Street, 35th Floor, New York, New York 10022.
Corporate
Governance
We
currently do not have audit or nominating committees as we are not a listed
issuer and are not required to do so. In connection with a proposed business
combination, we anticipate applying to have our securities listed on a national
securities exchange. At that time, we will adhere to the rules of whatever
exchange we seek to have our securities listed on and will form audit and
nominating committees, if required.
ITEM
10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Commencing
October 3, 2006 and ending upon the acquisition of a target business, we will
pay Crescendo Advisors II, an affiliate of Eric S. Rosenfeld, our chairman
of
the board, chief executive officer and president, a fee of $7,500 per month
for
providing us with certain general and administrative services including office
space, utilities and secretarial support. Other than this $7,500 per-month
fee,
no compensation of any kind, including finders and consulting fees, will be
paid
to any of our founding stockholders, including all of our officers and
directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services
they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination.
However, our existing 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.
Since
our
formation, we have not granted any stock options or stock appreciation rights
or
any awards under long-term incentive plans.
ITEM

Pursuant
to an escrow agreement between us, the Founders and Continental Stock Transfer
& Trust Company, all of the Founders Shares were placed in escrow, with
Continental acting as escrow agent, pursuant to an escrow agreement, until
one
year after our consummation of a business combination. The Founders Shares
may
be released from escrow earlier than this date if, after we’ve consummated a
business combination, we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock
exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders
having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities
or other property. During the escrow period, these shares cannot be sold, but
the Founders will retain all other rights as 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. If we
are
unable to effect a business combination and liquidate, none of our Founders
will
receive any portion of the liquidation proceeds with respect to common stock
owned by them prior to our initial public offering.
Eric
S.
Rosenfeld, our chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president,
Messrs. Leonard B. Schlemm, Jon Bauer and Colin D. Watson, each a member of
our
board of directors, and Gotham Capital V, an entity controlled by Joel
Greenblatt, our special advisor, purchased an aggregate of 1,136,364 insider
warrants (for an aggregate purchase price of $1,250,000) from us. These
purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the
consummation of our initial public offering. The insider warrants are identical
to the warrants underlying the units sold in our initial public offering except
that if we call the warrants for redemption, the insider warrants may be
exercisable on a cashless basis at the holder’s option (except in the case of a
forced cashless exercise upon our redemption of the warrants) so long as such
warrants are held by these purchasers or their affiliates. Additionally, they
have agreed that the insider warrants will not be sold or transferred by them
until after we have completed a business combination.
We
entered into a registration rights agreement with the Founders pursuant to
which
(i) the holders of the majority of the Founders Shares may demand that we
register their shares at any time after the date on which these shares of common
stock are released from escrow and (ii) the holders of the majority of the
insider warrants (or underlying shares) may demand that we register these
securities at any time after we consummate a business combination. In addition,
these holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights on registration
statements filed subsequent to such dates. We will bear the expenses incurred
in
connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Each
of
our Founders also entered into a letter agreement with us and EarlyBirdCapital
pursuant to which, among other things:
|
·
|
each
agreed to vote all Founder Shares owned by him in accordance with
the
majority of the IPO Shares if we solicit approval of our stockholders
for
a business combination;
|
|
·
|
if
we fail to consummate a business combination by October 3, 2008,
each
agreed to take all reasonable actions within his power to cause us
to
liquidate as soon as reasonably
practicable;
|
|
·
|
each
waived any and all rights he may have to receive any distribution
of cash,
property or other assets as a result of such liquidation with respect
to
his Founder Shares;
|
|
·
|
each
agreed to present to us for our consideration, prior to presentation
to
any other person or entity, any suitable opportunity to acquire an
operating business, until the earlier of our consummation of a business
combination, our liquidation or until such time as he ceases to be
an
officer or director of ours, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary
obligations he might have;
|
|
·
|
each
agreed that we could not consummate any business combination which
involves a company which is affiliated with any of the Founders
unless
we obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm
reasonably acceptable to EarlyBirdCapital that the business combination
is
fair to our stockholders from a financial
perspective;
|
|
·
|
each
agreed that he and his affiliates will not be entitled to receive
and will
not accept any compensation for services rendered to us prior to,
or in
connection with, the consummation of our business combination;
and
|
|
·
|
each
agreed that he and his affiliates will not be entitled to receive
or
accept a finder’s fee or any other compensation in the event he or his
affiliates originate a business
combination.
|
Crescendo
Advisors II, an affiliate of Eric S. Rosenfeld, our chairman of the board,
chief
executive officer and president, has agreed that, through the acquisition of
a
target business, it will make available to us a small amount of office space
and
certain office and secretarial services, as we may require from time to time.
We
have agreed to pay Crescendo Advisors II $7,500 per month for these services.
During
2006, Eric S. Rosenfeld advanced an aggregate of $90,000 to us to cover expenses
related to our initial public offering. The loan was payable without interest
on
the earlier of May 15, 2007 or the consummation of our initial public offering.
The loan was repaid in October 2006.
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.
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 finders and consulting fees, will be paid to any of our Founders
or to any of their respective affiliates for services rendered to us prior
to,
or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of
a
business combination.
All
ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors
or their respective affiliates, will be on terms believed by us to be no less
favorable than are available from unaffiliated third parties and will require
prior approval in each instance by a majority of the members of our board who
do
not have an interest in the transaction.
Independence
of Directors
In
connection with a proposed business combination, we anticipate applying to
have
our securities listed on a national securities exchange. At that time, we will
adhere to the rules of whatever exchange we seek to have our securities listed
on. The Nasdaq Stock Exchange and American Stock Exchange listing standards
generally define an “independent director” as a person, other than an officer of
a company, who does not have a relationship with the company that would
interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment. Currently, our
board of directors has affirmatively determined that Messrs. Schlemm, Bauer
and
Watson are independent directors.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the
Board of Directors
Rhapsody
Acquisition Corp.
We
have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of Rhapsody Acquisition Corp. (a
corporation in the development stage) as of March 31, 2007, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period
from inception (April 24, 2006) to March 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 audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of 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. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 Rhapsody Acquisition Corp. as
of
March 31, 2007, and its results of operations and its cash flows for the period
from inception (April 24, 2006) to March 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES
Income
taxes
|
The
Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
(“SFAS
No. 109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes” which is an asset and liability
approach that has been recognized in the Company’s financial statements.
The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately
$220,000 to reduce any future federal income taxes. The tax benefit
of
this loss, approximately $77,000, has been fully offset by a valuation
allowance due to the uncertainty of its realization.
|
|
|
Net
income per common share
|
Basic
income per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to
common
stock by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the
period.
Basic
earnings (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average
common shares outstanding for the period. Calculation of the weighted
average common shares outstanding during the period is based on 1,125,000
initial shares outstanding throughout the period from April 24, 2006
(inception) to March 31, 2007 and 4,140,517 common shares outstanding
after the effective date of the offering on October 3, 2006. Net
income
per share subject to possible conversion is calculated by dividing
accretion of trust account relating to common stock subject to possible
conversion by 1,034,483 common stock subject to possible conversion.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance
of
common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. At March
31,
2007, there were no such potentially dilutive securities.

|
Use
of estimates
|
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
|
|
|
Cash
and cash equivalents
|
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
|
|
|
Concentration
of credit risk
|
Financial
instructions that potentially subject the Company to a significant
concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash
equivalents. The Company maintains deposits in federally insured
financial
institutions in excess of federally insured limits. However, management
believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due
to the
financial position of the depository institutions in which those
deposits
are held.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES
New
accounting pronouncements
|
In
July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, and Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s
financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in an
income
tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance in derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosures and transition. FIN 48 is effective for the fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 is not
expected
to have a significant effect on the Company’s balance sheet or statements
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.

1. Basis
of Presentation
The
financial statements include the accounts of the Company. The Company has not
commenced operations. All activity through March 31, 2007, is related to the
Company's formation and preparation for and consummation of the Offering. The
Company has selected March 31 as its fiscal year end.
2.
Organization and Business Operations
Rhapsody
Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on April 24, 2006
as a blank check company whose objective is to acquire an operating business.
The
registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Offering”)
was declared effective October 3, 2006. The Company consummated the offering
on
October 10, 2006 and received net proceeds of $38,833,559. The Company’s
management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of
the
net proceeds of this Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds
of
this Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a
business combination with an operating business (“Business Combination”).
Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully
effect a Business Combination. An amount of $39,278,250, which includes
$1,250,000 relating to the sale of insider warrants and a $414,000 deferred
amount payable to the underwriter, of the net proceeds is being held in an
interest-bearing trust account (“Trust Account”) until the earlier of (i) the
consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of the Company.
Under
the
agreement governing the Trust Account, funds will only be invested in United
States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 with 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. The placing of funds in the Trust Account may
not protect those funds from third party claims against the Company. Although
the Company 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.
The
Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President has
agreed that he 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. However,
there
can be no assurance that he will be able to satisfy those obligations. The
remaining net proceeds (not held in the Trust Account) may be used to pay for
business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and
continuing general and administrative expenses. Additionally, if the Company
is
unable to consummate a Business Combination by the one year anniversary of
the
effective date of the Offering (or October 3, 2007), up to an aggregate of
$200,000 of interest earned on the Trust Account balance may be released to
the
Company to fund working capital requirements.
The
Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target
business, will submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event
that stockholders owning 20% 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.
RHAPSODY
ACQUISITION CORP
(A
CORPORATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE)
NOTES
TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
All
of
the Company’s stockholders prior to the Offering, including all of the officers
and directors of the Company (“Initial Stockholders”), have agreed to vote their
1,125,000 founding shares of common stock in accordance with the vote of the
majority in interest of all other stockholders of the Company (“Public
Stockholders”) with respect to any Business Combination. After consummation of a
Business Combination, these voting safeguards will no longer be
applicable.
With
respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated, any Public
Stockholder who voted against the Business Combination may demand that the
Company convert his shares. The per share conversion price will equal the amount
in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the
consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of
shares of common stock held by Public Stockholders at the consummation of the
Offering. Accordingly, Public Stockholders holding 19.99% of the aggregate
number of shares owned by all Public Stockholders 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 computed
without regard to the shares held by Initial Stockholders. Accordingly, a
portion of the net proceeds from the offering (19.99% of the amount held in
the
Trust Account and accretion of interest earned aggregating $7,980,426) has
been
classified as common stock subject to possible conversion in the accompanying
March 31, 2007 balance sheet.
The
Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for
mandatory liquidation of the Company in the event that the Company does not
consummate a Business Combination by October 3, 2008. In the event of
liquidation, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets
remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will
be
less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering due to
costs related to the Offering and since no value would be attributed to the
Warrants contained in the Units sold (Note 3).
3.
Initial Public Offering
On
October 10, 2006, the Company sold 5,175,000 units (“Units”) in the Offering,
which included 675,000 units subject to the underwriter’s overallotment option.
Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $.0001 par value,
and one Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant(s) (“Warrants”). Each Warrant
entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock
at an
exercise price of $5.00 commencing the later of the completion of a Business
Combination or one year from the effective date of the Offering and expiring
four years from the effective date of the Offering. The Warrants will be
redeemable, at the Company’s option, with the prior consent of EarlyBirdCapital,
Inc., the representative of the underwriters in the Offering (“Representative”),
at a price of $.01 per Warrant upon 30 days’ notice after the Warrants become
exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock
is
at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period
ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is
given. If the Company redeems the Warrants as described above, management will
have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his Warrant to
do
so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, the holder would pay the exercise price
by surrendering his Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal
to
the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of
Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between
the
exercise price of the Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by
(y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average
reported last sale price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending
on
the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is
sent to holders of Warrants. 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. 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 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 net cash settle the warrant exercise.
Consequently, the Warrants may expire unexercised and unredeemed.

The
Company agreed to pay the underwriters in the Offering an underwriting discount
of 5.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and a non-accountable expense
allowance of 0.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. However, the
underwriters have agreed that 1.0% of the underwriting discount will not be
payable unless and until the Company completes a Business Combination and has
waived their right to receive such payment upon the Company's liquidation if
it
is unable to complete a Business Combination. In connection with this Offering,
the Company also issued an option (“Option”), for $100, to the Representative to
purchase 450,000 Units at an exercise price of $8.80 per Unit. The Units
issuable upon exercise of the Option are identical to the Units sold in the
Offering. The Company accounted for the fair value of the Option, inclusive
of
the receipt of the $100 cash payment, as an expense of the Offering resulting
in
a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The Company estimated that the fair
value of the Option at the time of the IPO was approximately $1,687,500 ($3.75
per Unit) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of the
Option granted to the Representative was estimated as of the date of grant
using
the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 50.99%, (2) risk-free
interest rate of 4.56% and (3) expected life of 5 years. The Option may be
exercised for cash or on a "cashless" basis, at the holder's option, such that
the holder may use the appreciated value of the Option (the difference between
the exercise prices of the Option and the underlying Warrants and the market
price of the Units and underlying securities) to exercise the option without
the
payment of any cash. The Company will have no obligation to net cash settle
the
exercise of the unit purchase option or the Warrants underlying the unit
purchase option. The holder of the unit purchase option will not be entitled
to
exercise the unit purchase option or the Warrants underlying the unit purchase
option unless a registration statement covering the securities underlying the
unit purchase option is effective or an exemption from registration is
available. If the holder is unable to exercise the Option or underlying
Warrants, the Option or Warrants, as applicable, will expire
worthless.

Commitments
The
Company presently occupies office space provided by an affiliate of the
Company’s Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. Such
affiliate has agreed that, until the Company consummates a Business Combination,
it will make such office space, as well as certain office and secretarial
services, available to the Company, as may be required by the Company from
time
to time. The Company pays such affiliate $7,500 per month for such services
commencing on the effective date of the Offering (October 3, 2006). An amount
of
$44,516 has been incurred in this respect for the period ended March 31, 2007.
Pursuant
to letter agreements with the Company and the Representative, the Initial
Stockholders have waived their right to receive distributions with respect
to
their founding shares upon the Company's liquidation.
RHAPSODY
ACQUISITION CORP

TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Four
of
the Initial Stockholders and one affiliate of an Initial Stockholder committed
to purchase 1,136,364 Warrants (“Insider Warrants”) at $1.10 per Warrant (for an
aggregate purchase price of $1,250,000) privately from the Company. These
purchases took place simultaneously with the consummation of the Offering.
All
of the proceeds received from these purchases were placed in the Trust Account.
The Insider Warrants purchased by such purchasers are identical to the Warrants
underlying the Units offered in the Offering except that if the Company calls
the Warrants for redemption, the Insider Warrants may be exercisable on a
“cashless basis,” at the holder’s option (except in the case of a forced
cashless exercise upon the Company’s redemption of the Warrants, as described
above), so long as such securities are held by such purchasers or their
affiliates. Furthermore, the purchasers have agreed that the Insider Warrants
will not be sold or transferred by them until after the Company has completed
a
Business Combination.
The
Initial Stockholders and holders of the Insider Warrants (or underlying
securities) will be entitled to registration rights with respect to their
founding shares or Insider Warrants (or underlying securities). The holders
of
the majority of the founding shares are entitled to demand that the Company
register these shares at any time commencing three months prior to the first
anniversary of the consummation of a Business Combination. The holders of the
Insider Warrants (or underlying securities) are entitled to demand that the
Company register such securities at any time after the Company consummates
a
Business Combination. In addition, the Initial Stockholders and holders of
the
Insider Warrants (or underlying securities) have certain “piggy-back”
registration rights on registration statements filed after the Company’s
consummation of a Business Combination.
The
Representative has been engaged by the Company to act as the Company’s non
exclusive investment banker in connection with a proposed Business Combination.
For assisting the Company in structuring and negotiating the terms of a Business
Combination, the Company will pay the Representative a cash transaction fee
equal to 1% of the total consideration paid in connection with the Business
Combination, with a maximum fee to be paid of $360,000.
5.
Preferred Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such
designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined
from
time to time by the Board of Directors.
The
agreement with the underwriters prohibits the Company, prior to a Business
Combination, from issuing preferred stock which participates in the proceeds
of
the Trust Account or which votes as a class with the Common Stock on a Business
Combination.
6.
Common Stock
The
Company is authorized to issue 15,000,000 shares of common stock, of which
6,300,000 were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2007, including 1,034,483
common shares subject to possible conversion.
At
March
31, 2007, 7,211,364 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon
exercise of the Warrants and the Option.
The
Company currently has no commitments to issue any shares of common stock other
than as described herein; however, the Company will, in all likelihood, issue
a
substantial number of additional shares in connection with a Business
Combination. To the extent that additional shares of common stock are issued,
dilution to the interests of the Company’s stockholders who participated in the
Offering will occur.

Income Taxes
Deferred
income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation
allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized.
A
provision of $72,954 was made for state and local income taxes. Since the
majority of the Company’s interest income is not subject to federal income
taxes, Rhapsody generated a net operating loss of approximately $220,000 for
federal income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance was made for the
resulting deferred tax asset, as it is uncertain if and when the Company will
be
able to utilize this net operating loss.
Franchise
taxes incurred in the State of Delaware of $24,877 are included in the general
and administrative expenses.
