NOTE
A—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2008,
and
for the period May 22, 2007 (date of inception) to March, 31 2008, have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have
been included. Operating results for the interim period presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim
period or for the full year.
NOTE
B—DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
FMG
Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) (“FMG” or the
“Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 22, 2007. The Company was formed
to acquire a business operating in or providing services to the insurance
industry through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock
purchase or other similar business combination. The Company has neither engaged
in any operations nor generated significant revenue to date. The Company is
considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting By Development
Stage Enterprises”, and is subject to the risks associated with activities of
development stage companies. The Company has selected December 31st as its
fiscal year end.
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific
application of the net proceeds of the public offering of Units (as defined
in
Note D below) (the “Offering”), although substantially all of the net proceeds
of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a
business combination with (or acquisition of) a business operating in or
providing services to the insurance industry (“Business Combination”).
Furthermore, there is no assurance the Company will be able to successfully
effect a Business Combination. Since the closing of the Offering, approximately
99% of the gross proceeds, after payment of certain amounts to the underwriters,
is being held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested in U.S.
“government securities”, defined as any Treasury Bill issued by the United
States government having a maturity of one hundred and eighty (180) days or
less
or any open ended investment company registered under the Investment Company
Act
of 1940 that holds itself out as a money market fund and bears the highest
credit rating issued by a United States nationally recognized rating agency,
until the earlier of (i) the consummation of its Business Combination or (ii)
the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. The remaining
proceeds, as well as up to $1,200,000 of post tax interest income earned on
the
Trust Account, may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due
diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative
expenses.
F-5
NOTE
B—DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The
Company will submit any proposed Business Combination for stockholder approval.
In the event 30% or more of the outstanding stock (excluding, for this purpose,
those shares of common stock issued prior to the Offering) vote against the
Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described below,
the
Business Combination will not be consummated. Public stockholders voting against
a Business Combination will be entitled to convert their stock into a pro rata
share of the Trust Account (including the additional 4% fee of the gross
proceeds payable to the underwriters upon the Company’s consummation of a
Business Combination), including any interest earned (net of taxes payable
and
the amount distributed to the Company to fund its working capital requirements)
on their pro rata share, if the business combination is approved and
consummated. However, voting against the Business Combination alone will not
result in an election to exercise a stockholder’s conversion rights. A
stockholder must also affirmatively exercise such conversion rights at or prior
to the time the Business Combination is voted upon by the stockholders. All
of
the Company’s stockholders prior to the Offering, including all of the directors
and officers of the Company, have agreed to vote all of the shares of common
stock held by them in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest
of
all other stockholders of the Company.
In
the
event the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by October 4,
2009,
the proceeds held in the Trust Account will be distributed to the Company’s
public stockholders, excluding the officers and directors of, and the special
advisor to, the Company to the extent of their stock holdings prior to the
Offering. In the event of such distribution, it is likely that the per share
value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including
Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per
Unit in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained
in the Units to be offered in the Offering discussed in Note D).
NOTE
C—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Development
Stage Company:
The
Company complies with the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 7, “Accounting and
Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.”
Net
loss per common share:
The
Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 128,
“Earnings Per Share”. Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Stock
based compensation:
The
Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No.
123R, “Share Based Payments”. The cost of services received in exchange for an
award of equity instruments is to be measured based on the grant-date fair
value
of those instruments.
Concentration
of credit risk:
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times,
exceeds the Federal depository insurance coverage of $100,000. The Company
has
not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company
is
not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Fair
value of financial instruments:
The
fair
value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial
instruments under SFAS No. 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments,” approximates the carrying amounts presented in the balance
sheet.
Cash
and cash
equivalents:
The
Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments purchased with
an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
F-6
NOTE
C—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Use
of estimates:
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company’s
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Deferred
offering costs:
The
Company complies with the requirements of the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
(SAB) Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs consist
principally of legal and underwriting fees incurred through the balance sheet
date that are related to the Offering and that will be charged to capital upon
the completion of the Offering or charged to expense if the Offering is not
completed.
Income
taxes:
The
Company complies with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which
requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting
for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based
on
enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences
are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established,
when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.
Effective
May 22, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). There
were no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2008. FIN 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken
in a
tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be
more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
The
Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax
benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for the payment of
interest and penalties at December 31, 2007. There was no change to this balance
at March 31, 2008. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review
that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations
from
its position. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
Recently
issued accounting standards:
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements,"an Amendment of ARB No. 51,
"Consolidated Financial Statements," ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that
a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. This statement is effective as of the beginning of
an entity's first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008 with
retrospective application. The Company will adopt SFAS 160 beginning
January 1, 2009 and management is currently evaluating the potential impact
on
the financial statements when implemented.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), "Business Combinations). SFAS 141(R)
provides companies with principles and requirements on how an acquirer
recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets
acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree
as well as the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business
combination. SFAS 141(R) also requires certain disclosures to enable users
of
the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the
business combination. Acquisition costs associated with the business combination
will generally be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for business
combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which
will require the Company to adopt these provisions for business combinations
occurring in fiscal 2009 and thereafter. Early adoption of SFAS 141(R) is not
permitted.
Management
does not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting
pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the
Company’s financial statements.
F-7
NOTE
D— OFFERING
On
October 11, 2007 the Company sold 4,733,625 units (“Units”) at an offering price
of $8.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common
stock, $0.0001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant
(“Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company
one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing upon the
completion of a Business Combination with a target business or the distribution
of the Trust Account, and will expire October 4, 2011. The Warrants are
redeemable at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days prior 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 business day prior to the date on which
notice of redemption is given.
Upon
consummation of the Offering, the Company’s initial stockholders (“Initial
Stockholders”), who owned 100% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common
stock prior to the Offering, forfeited a pro-rata portion of their shares of
common stock (an aggregate of 110,344 shares of common stock) as a result of
the
underwriters’ election not to exercise the balance of a purchase option. Such
ownership interests were adjusted upon consummation of the Offering to reflect
their aggregate ownership of 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common
stock (an aggregate of 1,183,406 shares of common stock).
NOTE
E—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The
Company has received a limited
recourse revolving line of credit totaling $250,000 made available by FMG
Investors, LLC. The
revolving line of credit terminates upon the earlier of the completion of the
Business Combination or the cessation of FMG’s corporate existence 24 months
from the date of the Offering (as
such
borrowings may be used to pay costs, expenses and claims in connection with
any
such dissolution and liquidation). The revolving line of credit is non-interest
bearing.
The
Company presently occupies office space provided by an affiliate of our Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer. Such affiliate has agreed that, until the
acquisition of a target business by the Company, 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 has agreed to
pay
such affiliate $7,500 per month for such services.
Certain
of the directors and officers of the Company have agreed to purchase through
FMG
Investors, LLC, in a private placement, 1,250,000 warrants immediately prior
to
the Offering at a price of $1.00 per warrant (an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $1,250,000) from the Company and not as part of the Offering.
They
have also agreed that these warrants purchased by them will not be sold or
transferred until 90 days after the completion of a Business Combination.
NOTE
F—COMMITMENTS
The
Company paid an underwriting discount of 3% of the public unit offering price
to
the underwriters at the closing of the Offering, with an additional 4% fee
of
the gross offering proceeds payable upon the Company’s consummation of a
Business Combination.
The
Company has agreed to sell to Pali Capital, Inc, for $100, as additional
compensation, an option to purchase up to a total of 450,000 units at a per-unit
price of $10.00. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are also
identical to those offered in the Offering. The sale was accounted for as an
equity transaction.
Accordingly,
there was no net impact on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations, except for the recording of the $100 proceeds from the
sale.
The
Company has determined, based upon a Black-Scholes model, that the fair value
of
the option on the date of sale would be approximately $2.32 per unit, or
$1,044,000 in total, using an expected life of five years, volatility of 34.9%
and a risk-free interest rate of 3.69 %.

NOTE
F—COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, Share
Based
Payments (SFAS 123R), the cost of services received in exchange for an award
of
equity instruments is to be measured based on the grant-date fair value of
those
instruments. Because the Company does not have a trading history, the Company
needed to estimate the potential volatility of its common stock price, which
will depend on a number of factors which cannot be ascertained at this time.
SFAS 123R requires the Company to measure the option based on an appropriate
industry sector index instead of the expected volatility of its share price.
The
volatility calculation of 34.9% is based on the five year average volatility
for
a group of the 20 smallest insurance companies in the Russell 2000 (“Index”).
The Company referred to the Index because management believes that the average
volatility is a reasonable benchmark to use in estimating the expected
volatility of the Company’s common stock post-business combination. Although an
expected life of five years was taken into account for purposes of assigning
a
fair value to the option, if the Company does not consummate a business
combination within the prescribed time period and liquidates, the option would
become worthless.
Although
the purchase option and its underlying securities have been registered under
the
registration statement, the purchase option will provide for registration rights
that will permit the holder of the purchase option to demand that a registration
statement be filed with respect to all or any part of the securities underlying
the purchase option within five years of the completion of the offering.
Further, the holders of the purchase option will be entitled to piggy - back
registration rights in the event the Company undertakes a subsequent registered
offering within seven years of the completion of the Offering.
The
Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 675,000
additional units to cover the over-allotment. The underwriter used 233,625
of
the additional units at the time of closing and did not exercise the balance
of
the option.
NOTE
G—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. As of March 31, 2008, the Company had
not issued shares of preferred stock. The Company’s certificate of incorporation
prohibits it, 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.
NOTE
H—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
April
2, 2008, FMG issued a press release with respect to the execution of an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with United Insurance
Holdings, L.C., a limited liability company formed in the State of Florida
(“United”) and United Subsidiary Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMG
(“United Subsidiary”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FMG agreed to purchase
all of the outstanding membership interests of United and United agreed to
merge
with United Subsidiary in a transaction whereby United would be the surviving
entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMG. On the closing date, two of the
current directors and all of the current officers of FMG will resign and United
will appoint new officers and three new directors. Upon consummation
of the merger, FMG will change its name to United Insurance Holdings
Corp.
NOTE I —
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 157, Fair
Value Measurement,
or SFAS
157, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported
at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities
that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. In accordance
with the provisions of FSP No. FAS 157-2, Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157, the
Company has elected to defer implementation of SFAS 157 as it relates to its
non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized and
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis
until January 1, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, this
standard will have on its non-financial assets and liabilities.
F-9
NOTE I —
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)
The
adoption of SFAS 157 to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities and
non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair
value at least annually did not have an impact on the Company’s financial
results.
The
following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities
that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008,
and
indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company
utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs
utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates
and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable
data
points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is
little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability (in thousands):

values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account are
determined through market, observable and corroborated sources.
The

ITEM
2 - 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 May 22, 2007 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock
exchange, asset or stock acquisition, exchangeable share transaction, joint
venture or other similar business combination with one or more domestic or
international operating businesses. Our efforts in identifying a prospective
target business will not be limited to a particular industry or to any
geographic location, although we intend to focus our efforts on seeking a
business combination with a company operating in or providing services to the
insurance industry. Until consummation of our Offering in October 2007, all
of
our activity related to our formation and Offering. Since then, we have been
searching for prospective target businesses to acquire and have entered into
an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with United Insurance
Holdings, L.C., a limited liability company formed in the State of Florida
(“United”) and United Subsidiary Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMG
(“United Subsidiary”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FMG agreed to purchase
all of the outstanding membership interests of United and United agreed to
merge
with United Subsidiary in a transaction whereby United would be the surviving
entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMG. We
intend
to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our recently completed public
offering and our capital stock in effecting the business combination
contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In the event we do not consummate the
proposed business combination with United, 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.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
March 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $55,042 of cash available for
general corporate purposes and $37,737,092 of cash and cash equivalents held
in
trust. The cash and cash equivalents held in trust were generated by the
proceeds from our initial public offering of approximately $37,869,000, the
proceeds of the sale of founder securities of $1,250,000, and $433,912 of
interest earned on the funds.
The
Company placed $37,452,930 of the net proceeds from the initial public offering
of our units and sale of founder securities in trust and the remaining amount
was held outside of the trust. As of March 31, 2008, we believe the Company's
remaining balance of $1,161,245 available for general corporate purposes will
be
sufficient to allow us to operate until October 4, 2009, assuming that a
business combination is not consummated during that time.
We
intend
to use substantially all of the funds held in trust at March 31, 2008 to
(i) acquire a target business, including identifying and evaluating
prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the target business, and
structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination,
(ii) pay income taxes and (iii) upon the completion of a business
combination, pay the deferred underwriting fee of $1,514,760. We may not use
all
of the proceeds held in the Trust Account in connection with a Business
Combination, either because the consideration for the Business Combination
is
less than the proceeds in trust or because we finance a portion of the
consideration with capital stock or debt securities that we can issue. In that
event, the proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds
not expended will be used to finance the operations of the target business
or
businesses. The operating businesses we acquire in such Business Combination
must have, individually or collectively, a fair market value equal to at least
80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriter's fee
of
$1,514,760) at the time of such acquisition. If we consummate multiple Business
Combinations that collectively have a fair market value of at least 80% of
our
net assets, then we would require that such transactions be consummated
simultaneously.
2
If
we are
unable to consummate a business combination by October 4, 2009, we will
be required to liquidate. If we are required to liquidate, the per
share liquidation amount may be less than the initial per unit Offering price
because of the underwriting commissions and expenses related to our Offering,
the cost of our liquidation, and because of the value of the warrants in the
per
unit offering price. Additionally, if third parties make claims against us,
the
Offering proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to those claims,
resulting in a further reduction to the per share liquidation price. Under
Delaware law, our stockholders who have received distributions from us may
be
held liable for claims by third parties to the extent such claims are not been
paid by us. Furthermore, our warrants will expire worthless if we liquidate
before the completion of a Business Combination.
In
connection with our Offering, Pali Capital Inc. has agreed to defer payment
of the remaining four percent (4%) of the gross proceeds ($1,514,760) until
completion of a Business Combination. Until a Business Combination is complete,
these funds will remain in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete
a
Business Combination then the 4% deferred fee will become part of the funds
returned to the Company's Public Stockholders from the Trust Account upon our
liquidation.
Other
than contractual obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, we
do
not have any other long-term contractual obligations.
Results
of Operations
Net
loss
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $253,358 consisted of $419,844
of
general and administrative costs, offset by $166,486 of interest income.
We
consummated the Offering of 4,733,625 Units on October 11, 2007. Gross proceeds
received from our Offering were $39,119,100 (including the over-allotment option
and warrants sold privately). We paid a total of $1,136,070 in underwriting
discounts and commissions, and approximately $386,793 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 approximately $37,596,237, of which $37,452,930 was deposited
into
the trust account (or approximately $7.92 per share). 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 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 4, 2009, assuming that a business
combination is not consummated during that time. We do not believe we will
need
to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for
operating our business. However, we may need to raise additional funds through
a
private offering of debt or equity securities if such funds are required to
consummate a business combination that is presented to us. We would only
consummate such a financing simultaneously with the consummation of a business
combination. The proposed Business Combination with United will not require
us
to raise additional funds.
Commencing
on October 11, 2007, and ending upon the acquisition of a target business,
we
began incurring a fee from Fund Management Group LLC, an affiliate of Gordon
G.
Pratt, our chief executive officer, of $7,500 per month for providing us with
office space and certain general and administrative services. In addition,
Mr.
Pratt advanced $100,000 to us for payment on our
behalf of offering expenses. This
amount was repaid following the Offering from the net proceeds of the
Offering.
