IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1 Organization and Nature of Business Operations
Ideation Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) (the Company) was
incorporated in Delaware on June 1, 2007. The Company was formed to acquire through a merger, stock
exchange, asset acquisition or similar business combination a currently unidentified business or
businesses. 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 registration statement for the Companys initial public offering (Offering) was declared
effective on November 19, 2007. The Company consummated the Offering on November 26, 2007. The
Companys management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net
proceeds of the Offering of Units 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 Target Business (Business Combination). As used herein, Target Business shall
mean one or more businesses that at the time of the Companys initial Business Combination has a
fair market value of at least 80% of the Companys net assets (all of the Companys assets,
including the funds then held in the Trust Account (as defined below), less the Companys
liabilities (excluding deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $2.73
million). Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully affect
a Business Combination.
Upon closing of the Offering, $78,815,000 was placed in a trust account maintained at
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Co. (the Trust Account) and invested in United States
government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (Investment Company Act), having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money
market funds selected by the Company meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under
the Investment Company Act, until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Companys first
Business Combination or (ii) the liquidation of the Company. The amounts placed in the Trust
Account consists of the proceeds of our IPO (see Note 3) and the issuance of Insider Warrants (see
Note 4) and $2.73 million of the gross proceeds representing deferred underwriting discounts and
commissions that will be released to the underwriters on completion of a Business Combination. The
remaining proceeds outside of the Trust Account, along with the interest income of up to $1.7
million earned on the Trust Account that may be released to the Company, may be used to pay for
business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and
administrative expenses.
The Company will seek stockholder approval before it will affect any Business Combination,
even if the Business Combination would not ordinarily require stockholder approval under applicable
state law. In connection with the stockholder vote required to approve any Business Combination,
all of the Companys existing stockholders (Initial Stockholders) have agreed to vote the shares
of common stock owned by them immediately before the Companys IPO in accordance with the majority
of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders. Public Stockholders is defined as
the holders of common stock sold as part of the Units in the Offering or in the aftermarket. The
Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if a majority of the shares of common stock
voted by the Public Stockholders are voted in favor of the Business Combination and Public
Stockholders owning less than 30% of the shares sold in the Public Offering exercise their
conversion rights. If a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the Public Stockholders are
not voted in favor of a proposed initial Business Combination, but 24 months has not yet passed
since closing of the Offering, the Company may combine with another Target Business meeting the
fair market value criterion described above.
Public Stockholders voting against a Business Combination will be entitled to convert their
stock into a pro rata share of the total amount on deposit in the Trust Account, before payment of
underwriting discounts and commissions and including any interest earned on their portion of the
Trust Account net of income taxes payable thereon, and net of any interest income of up to $1.7
million on the balance of the Trust Account previously released to the Company, if a Business
Combination is approved and completed.
The Companys Certificate of Incorporation was amended prior to the closing of the Offering to
provide that the Company will continue in existence only until 24 months from the effective date.
If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by such date, its corporate existence will
cease except for the purposes of winding up its affairs and it will liquidate. 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 (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units
to be offered in the Offering discussed in Note 3).

IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial
Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form
of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. The Trust Account assets are invested in JP Morgan
100% US Treasury Money Market Fund (Ticker: VHPXX) and JP Morgan Treasury Plus Money Market Fund
(Ticker: AJTXX). On October 8, 2008, the Company purchased $55,000,000 face value US Treasury
T-Bills maturing on January 8, 2009 (CUSIP 912795J69) for the Trust Account.The Company currently
holds no investment in the JP Morgan Treasury Plus Money Market Fund. As of September 30, 2008,
the Company has earned approximately $1,861,000 of interest income on the trust from inception
including approximately $396,000 earned during the quarter.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company as of September 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, and
for the period from inception (June 1, 2007) to September 30, 2008, reflect all adjustments of a
normal and recurring nature to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows for the interim period. These unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared by the Company pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Pursuant to such instructions, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally
included in such financial statements have been condensed or omitted.
These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements of the Company and notes thereto, together with managements discussion and
analysis or plan of operations, contained in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the year ended
December 31, 2008.
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of
credit risk consist primarily of cash. 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.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and investments that have a maturity at date of
purchase of three months or less.
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. There were no preferred shares issued as of September 30, 2008.
Net Income per Common Share
The Company complies with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which requires dual presentation
of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic net
income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if warrants were to be exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of
common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
The Companys statement of operations includes a presentation of earnings per share for common
stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of earnings per
share. Basic and diluted net income per share amount for the maximum number of shares subject to
possible redemption is calculated by dividing the net interest attributable to common shares
subject to possible redemption by the weighted average number of shares subject to possible
redemption. Basic and diluted net income per share amount for the shares outstanding not subject
to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the net income exclusive of the net interest
income attributable to common shares subject to redemption by the weighted average number of shares
not subject to possible redemption. The weighted average number of incremental common shares
representing the potential dilution attributable to the outstanding warrants to purchase common
stock on an as if converted basis are 2,245,776 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, 0
for the three months ended September 30, 2007, 2,123,258 for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 and 2,109,889 for the period June 1, 2007 (Inception) to September 30, 2008.

IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
New Accounting Pronouncements
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 non-controlling
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.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements An Amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 requires reporting entities to
present noncontrolling (minority) interests as equity as opposed to as a liability or mezzanine
equity and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and
noncontrolling interests. SFAS No. 160 is effective the first fiscal year beginning after December
15, 2008, and interim periods within that fiscal year. SFAS No. 160 applies prospectively as of the
beginning of the fiscal year SFAS No. 160 is initially applied, except for the presentation and
disclosure requirements which are applied retrospectively for all periods presented subsequent to
adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 will not have a material impact on the financial statements;
however, it could impact future transactions entered into by the Company.
In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 110, Share-Based Payment (SAB 110). SAB 110
establishes the continued use of the simplified method for estimating the expected term of equity
based compensation. The simplified method was intended to be eliminated for any equity based
compensation arrangements granted after December 31, 2007. SAB 110 is being published to help
companies that may not have adequate exercise history to estimate expected terms for future
grants. The adoption of SAB 110 has not had a material effect on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities An Amendment to FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve
financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced
disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced
disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related
interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption
encouraged. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Companys financial statements.
Redeemable common stock
The Company accounts for redeemable common stock in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force
D-98 Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. Securities that are redeemable
for cash or other assets are classified outside of permanent equity if they are redeemable at
the option of the holder. In addition, if the redemption causes a redemption event, the
redeemable securities should not be classified outside of permanent equity. As discussed in Note
1, the Business Combination will only be consummated if a majority of the shares of common stock
voted by the Public Stockholders are voted in favor of the Business Combination and Public
Stockholders holding less than 30% (2,999,999) of common shares sold in the Offering exercise
their conversion rights. As further discussed in Note 1, if a Business Combination is not
consummated within 24 months, the Company will liquidate. Accordingly, 2,999,999 shares have
been classified outside of permanent equity at redemption value. The Company recognizes changes
in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the
redeemable common stock to equal its redemption value at the end of each reporting period.

IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 3 Initial Public Offering
In its initial pubic offering effective November 19, 2007 (consummated November 26, 2007), the
Company sold 10,000,000 units (Units) at a price of $8.00 per unit. Proceeds from the initial
public offering totaled $73,811,479 which was net of $3,458,521 in underwriting and other expenses
and $2,730,000 of deferred underwriting fees. Each Unit consists of one share of the Companys
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 on the later of the completion of a Business Combination with a
Target Business and November 19, 2008 and expiring November 19, 2011, unless earlier redeemed. The
Warrants will be redeemable at a price of $0.01 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 business
day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is sent. In accordance with the warrant
agreement, 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.
Proceeds held in the Trust Account will not be available for the Companys use for any
purpose, except to pay any income taxes and up to $1.7 million can be taken from the interest
earned on the Trust Account to fund the Companys working capital. These proceeds will be used to
pay for business, legal, and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing
general and administrative expenses. As of September 30, 2008, the Company includes approximately
$247,000 of these proceeds in their cash balance as they plan on withdrawing the cash as needed for
operations. From June 1, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2008, the company has transferred
approximately $1.5 million from the Trust Account, of which approximately $700,000 has been used to
fund the companys working capital requirements.
Note 4 Related Party Transactions
In June 2007, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares (Initial Shares) of common stock to the
Initial Stockholders for $0.01 per share for a total of $25,000. The Initial Stockholders also
purchased 250,000 units for $2,000,000 in the IPO.
The
Company issued unsecured promissory notes totaling $200,000 to its Initial Stockholders on June 12, 2007. The notes were non-interest bearing and were repaid from the proceeds of the
Offering by the Company.
The Company paid approximately $13,000 from inception to September 30, 2008 for office space
and general and administrative services, leased from Clarity Partners, L.P. Barry A. Porter, one of
our special advisors, is a co-founder and Managing General Partner of Clarity Partners, L.P., and
the grantor trust of Mr. Porter, Nautilus Trust dtd 9/10/99, is one of our initial stockholders.
Services commenced on November 19, 2007 and will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the consummation
of a Business Combination or (ii) the liquidation of the Company. The Company terminated its
agreement with Clarity Partners, L.P. effective March 31, 2008.
On March 20, 2008, the audit committee of Ideation Acquisition Corp approved a new sub-leasing
and administrative and support services agreement. Effective April 1, 2008, the Company has moved
its principal offices to 1990 S. Bundy Boulevard, Suite 620, Los Angeles, CA 90025. It subleases
the space and pays approximately $7,500 per month for office space and related services to Spirit
EMX LLC. Robert N. Fried, our Chief Executive Officer and one of our initial shareholders, is the
founder and Chief Executive Officer of Spirit EMX LLC. The Company incurred approximately $44,000
from April 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008 for office space and administrative services and paid
approximately $37,000 to Sprint EMX LLC.
The Initial Stockholders purchased warrants (Insider Warrants) exercisable for 2,400,000 shares
of common stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant concurrently with the closing of the
Offering at a price of $1.00 per Insider Warrant directly from the Company and not as part of the
Offering. All of the proceeds from this private placement have been placed in a Trust Account until
a business combination has been consummated. The Insider Warrants are identical to the Warrants
included in the Units sold in the Offering except that if the Company calls the Warrants for
redemption, the Insider Warrants may be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as such
securities are held by the Initial Stockholders or their affiliates. Additionally, our Initial
Stockholders have agreed that the Insider Warrants will not be sold or transferred by them
9
IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
until after the Company has completed a Business Combination. The Company believes based on a
review of the trading prices of the public warrants of other blank check companies similar to the
Company, that the purchase price of $1.00 per Insider Warrant is not less than the approximate fair
value of such warrants on the date of issuance. Therefore, the Company has not recorded stock-based
compensation expense upon the sale of the Insider Warrants.
The holders of the Initial Shares, as well as the holders of the Insider Warrants (and
underlying securities), will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement signed on
November 19, 2007. The holders of a majority of these securities will be entitled to make up to two
demands that we register such securities. The holders of a majority of the Initial Shares will be
able to make a demand for registration of the resale of their Initial Shares at any time commencing
nine months after the consummation of a business combination. The holders of a majority of the
Insider Warrants (or underlying securities) will be able to elect to exercise these registration
rights with respect to the Insider Warrants (or underlying securities) at any time after the
Company consummates a business combination. In addition, such holders will have certain
piggy-back registration rights on registration statements filed subsequent to the date on which
such securities are released from escrow. All our Initial Stockholders placed the initial shares
and the insider warrants into an escrow account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, acting as escrow agent. The Initial Shares will not be released from escrow until one year
after the consummation of a Business Combination, or earlier if, following a Business Combination,
the Company engages in a subsequent transaction resulting in the Companys stockholders having the
right to exchange their shares for cash or other securities or if the Company liquidates and
dissolves. The Insider Warrants will not be released from escrow until 90 days after the completion
of a Business Combination. The Company will continue to bear expenses incurred in connection
with the filing of any such registration statements.
Note 5 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 the deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The
Company recorded a deferred income tax asset of $0 and $227,913 on December 31, 2007 and September
30, 2008, respectively, for the tax effect of temporary differences during the period from June 1,
2007 (Inception) to December 31, 2007, and during the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2008. Temporary differences during the period from June 1, 2007 (Inception) to December 31,
2007 and during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 consist of start up costs
and organizational expenses.
The Companys provision for income taxes reflects the application of federal and state
statutory rates to the Companys income before taxes. The Companys effective tax rate was
approximately 34% for the periods from June 1, 2007 (Inception) to September 30, 2008, 32% for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2008 and was (141) % for the three month period ended
September 30, 2008. Prior to the third quarter of 2008, the Company believed that it was liable
for state incomes taxes and accordingly was recording a state tax provision and making quarterly
estimated payments. Based on a review of facts and circumstances during the third quarter of 2008,
the Company believes that it is not liable for state income taxes and accordingly, eliminated its
state tax provision and recorded a receivable for the return of its estimated tax payments from the
state.
Components of the current and deferred provision for income taxes are approximately as

Note 6 Fair Value Measurements
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted 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.
The adoption of SFAS 157 to the Companys financial assets and liabilities did not have an
impact on the Companys financial results.
The following table presents information about the Companys assets and liabilities that are
measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 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 millions):

The fair values of the Companys cash and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account are
determined through market, observable and corroborated sources. The carrying amounts reflected in
the balance sheets for other current assets and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to
their short-term maturities.

(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 7 Commitments and contingencies
At the closing of the Offering, the Company paid a fee of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds,
excluding the proceeds received from the founding shareholders purchase of IPO Units, excluding the
proceeds received from the founding shareholders purchase of IPO units. In addition, the Company
has committed to pay a deferred fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds, less the fees not paid on the
founding shareholders purchase of IPO units, to the underwriters on the completion of an initial
business combination by the Company.
In addition to the previously described fee, Lazard Capital Markets LLC was granted a 45-day
option to purchase up to 1,500,000 Units (over and above the 10,000,000 Units referred to above)
solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The over-allotment option was not used and expired on
January 3, 2008.
The Company has sold to the underwriters in the Offering for $100, as additional compensation,
an option to purchase up to a total of 500,000 Units for $10.00 per Unit. The Units issuable upon
exercise of this option are identical to those offered in the Offering; however the Warrants will
entitle the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of
$7.00 per share. The purchase option and its underlying securities have been registered under the
registration statement which was effective on November 19, 2007.
The sale of this option has been accounted for as an equity transaction. Accordingly, there
was no net effect on the Companys 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 most recent fair market value of the option is approximately $2.6
million, using an expected life of five years from the date of the IPO, volatility of 96.4% and a
risk-free interest rate of 1.72%. Because the units do not have a trading history, the volatility
factor is based on information currently available to management. The volatility factor of 96.4% is
the average volatility of various sample blank check companies that have completed a business
combination and have at least two years of trading history. The Companys management believes that
this volatility is a reasonable benchmark, given the uncertainty of the industry of the target
business, to use in estimating the expected volatility for its common stock.
The purchase option may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holders
option, such that the holder may use the appreciated value of the purchase option (the difference
between the exercise prices of the purchase option and the underlying Warrants and the market price
of the Units and underlying securities) to exercise the purchase option without the payment of any
cash. The Company will have no obligation to net cash settle the exercise of the purchase option or
the Warrants underlying the purchase option. The holder of the purchase option will not be entitled
to exercise the purchase option or the Warrants underlying the purchase option unless a
registration statement covering the securities underlying the purchase option is effective or an
exemption from a registration is available. If the holder is unable to exercise the purchase option
or the underlying Warrants, the purchase option or Warrants, as applicable, will expire worthless.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations,
financial condition, and cash flows of the Company. This discussion is provided as a supplement
to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes to
the financial statements.
Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
Results of Operations, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections,
statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the
assumptions upon which those statements are based, are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words believe, project,
expect, anticipate, estimate, intend, strategy, plan, may, should, will, would,
will be, will continue, will likely result, and similar expressions. Forward-looking
statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and
uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements. A detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and
events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in our filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly
any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or
otherwise.
Overview
References to we, us or the Company are to Ideation Acquisition Corp.
We are a blank check company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 1,
2007. We were formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset
acquisition or other similar business combination, one or more businesses. While our efforts in
identifying prospective target businesses will not be limited to a particular industry, we expect
to focus on businesses in the digital media sector, which encompasses companies that emphasize the
use of digital technology to create, distribute or service others that create or distribute content
for various platforms including online, mobile, satellite, television, cable, radio, print, film,
video games and software. Digital technology refers to the use of digitally-enabled means, as
opposed to analog means, to process, transmit, store or display content. We may also focus on
traditional media businesses, including motion picture exhibition companies, television and radio
broadcast companies, print media publishing companies and traditional content libraries, if we
believe that the incorporation of digital technology will enhance and accelerate the growth of
those businesses. We have not established specific criteria that would trigger our consideration of
businesses outside of the digital media sector. In addition, we intend to direct our search toward
digital media businesses in the United States, but we would also consider businesses outside of the
United States.
On November 26, 2007, we completed our initial public offering of 10,000,000 units (IPO),
each unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one warrant
exercisable for an additional share of common stock (a Warrant) at a price of $8.00 per unit.
Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $6.00
exercisable on the later of our consummation of a business combination or November 19, 2008,
provided in each case that there is an effective registration statement covering the shares of
common stock underlying the warrants in effect. The Warrants expire on November 19, 2011, unless
earlier redeemed. Additionally, our initial stockholders purchased an aggregate of 2,400,000
warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant ($2.4 million in the aggregate) in a private placement
transaction (the Private Placement) that occurred immediately prior to our IPO. Upon the closing
of our IPO, on November 26, 2007, we sold and issued an option for $100 to purchase up to 500,000
units, at an exercise price of $7.00 per unit, to the representatives of the underwriters in our
IPO.
We received net proceeds of approximately $79.1 million from the IPO and the Private
Placement. Of those net proceeds, approximately $2.73 million is attributable to the portion of the
underwriters discount which has been deferred until our consummation of a business combination. Of
these net proceeds, $78.8 million was deposited into a trust account (the Trust Account)
maintained at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the Trustee) and will be held in trust
and not released until the earlier to occur of (i) the completion of a business combination or (ii)
our liquidation, in which case such proceeds will be distributed to our public stockholders.
13
Results of Operation
We have not generated any revenues from operations to date. Our entire activity since
inception has been to prepare for and consummate our initial public offering and to identify and
investigate targets for a business combination. We will not generate any operating revenue until
consummation of a business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of
interest income on cash and cash equivalent.
Net income attributable to common stockholders for the period from June 1, 2007 (inception)
to September 30, 2008, was approximately $735,000, which consisted of $1,861,000 in interest income
partially offset by $747,000 in formation and operating expenses and $379,000 in income taxes.
Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2008
was approximately $87,000 which consisted of approximately $396,000 in interest income partially
offset by $360,000 in formation and operating expenses and a credit of $51,000 in income taxes due
to a receivable from the estimated payments made to a state for which taxes will not be due. Net
income attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was
approximately $591,000 which consisted of $1,520,000 in interest income partially offset by
$646,000 in formation and operating expenses and $283,000 in income taxes. We will pay any taxes
resulting from interest accrued on the funds held in the Trust Account out of the funds held in the
Trust Account.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Approximately $78.8 million of the net proceeds of our IPO and Private Placement, and a
portion of the underwriters discounts and expense allowance were deposited in the Trust Account,
with the remaining net proceeds being placed in our operating account. We plan to use the interest
income earned on the trust proceeds (up to a maximum of $1.7 million) to identify, evaluate and
negotiate with prospective acquisition candidates as well as cover our ongoing operating expenses
until a transaction is approved by our shareholders or the assets held in the Trust Account is
returned to them.
We intend to utilize our cash, including the funds held in the Trust Account, capital stock,
debt or a combination of the foregoing to effect a business combination. To the extent that our
capital stock or debt securities are used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business
combination, the proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other available cash will be
used for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of the
acquired business or businesses, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred
in consummating our initial business combination, to find the purchase of other companies, or for
working capital.
At September 30, 2008, we had cash outside of the Trust Account of approximately $483,000,
cash held in the Trust Account of approximately $78,815,000, accrued interest income and other
current assets of approximately $400,000 and total current liabilities of $225,000. We believe that
the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account will be sufficient to allow us to operate
for the next twelve months (beginning October 1, 2008).
At our instructions, on February 13, 2008, April 8, 2008, June 6, 2008, September 3, 2008 and
October 22, 1008, the Trustee transferred $300,000, $400,000, $400,000, $400,000 and $350,000
respectively, of interest earned on the Trust Account into our operating cash account for the
purposes of paying taxes on the aggregate amount of interest earned on the funds held in the Trust
Account and to cover our operating expenses.
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 and/or equity securities if such funds were required to consummate a
business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only
consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of a business combination.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 non-controlling
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
14
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 us to adopt these provisions for business combinations occurring in fiscal 2009 and
thereafter. Early adoption of SFAS 141(R) is not permitted.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements An Amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 requires reporting entities to
present noncontrolling (minority) interests as equity as opposed to as a liability or mezzanine
equity and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and
noncontrolling interests. SFAS No. 160 is effective the first fiscal year beginning after December
15, 2008, and interim periods within that fiscal year. SFAS No. 160 applies prospectively as of the
beginning of the fiscal year SFAS No. 160 is initially applied, except for the presentation and
disclosure requirements which are applied retrospectively for all periods presented subsequent to
adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 will not have a material impact on the financial statements;
however, it could impact future transactions entered into by the Company.
In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 110, Share-Based Payment (SAB 110). SAB 110
establishes the continued use of the simplified method for estimating the expected term of equity
based compensation. The simplified method was intended to be eliminated for any equity based
compensation arrangements granted after December 31, 2007. SAB 110 is being published to help
companies that may not have adequate exercise history to estimate expected terms for future
grants. The adoption of SAB 110 has not had a material effect on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities An Amendment to FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve
financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced
disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced
disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related
interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption
encouraged. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
Companys financial statements.
Redeemable common stock
We account for redeemable common stock in accordance with Emerging Issue Task Force D-98
Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. Securities that are redeemable for
cash or other assets are classified outside of permanent equity if they are redeemable at the
option of the holder. In addition, if the redemption causes a redemption event, the redeemable
securities should not be classified outside of permanent equity. As further described in our
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we will only consummate a business
combination if a majority of the shares of common stock voted by the public stockholders owning
shares sold in our IPO vote in favor of the business combination and public stockholders holding
less than 30% (2,999,999) of common shares sold in our IPO exercise their conversion rights. If
a business combination is not consummated by November 19, 2009, we will liquidate. Accordingly,
2,999,999 shares have been classified outside of permanent equity at redemption value. The
Company recognizes changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the
carrying value of the redeemable common stock to equal its redemption value at the end of each
reporting period.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
Our financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a significant concentration of credit
risk consist primarily of cash. We maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in
excess of federally insured limits. However, management believes we are not exposed to significant
credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits
are held.
15
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and investments that have a maturity at date of
purchase of three months or less.
Preferred Stock
We are 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.
There were no preferred shares issued as of September 30, 2008.
Net Income per Common Share
We comply with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which requires dual presentation of basic
and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic net income per
share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if warrants
were to be exercised or converted or otherwise resulted in the issuance of common stock that then
shared in the earnings of the entity.
The Companys statement of operations includes a presentation of earnings per share for common
stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of earnings per
share. Basic and diluted net income per share amount for the maximum number of shares subject to
possible redemption is calculated by dividing the net interest attributable to common shares
subject to possible redemption by the weighted average number of shares subject to possible
redemption. Basic and diluted net income per share amount for the shares outstanding not subject
to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the net income exclusive of the net interest
income attributable to common shares subject to redemption by the weighted average number of shares
not subject to possible redemption.

|
ITEM 3. |
|
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market risk is the sensitivity of income to changes in interest rates, foreign exchanges,
commodity prices, equity prices, and other market-driven rates or prices. We are not presently
engaged in and, if a suitable business target is not identified by us prior to the prescribed
liquidation date of the trust fund, we may not engage in, any substantive commercial business.
Accordingly, we are not and, until such time as we consummate a business combination, we will not
be, exposed to risks associated with foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices or
other market-driven rates or prices.
The net proceeds of our initial public offering held in the trust fund have been invested only
in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. Given our limited risk in our exposure to money market funds, we do not view
the interest rate risk to be significant.
Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by
changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, including recent reduction instituted by the
U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, particularly because our investments held in the Trust Account are rate
sensitive U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds. Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we
believe that we are not subject to any material market risk exposure other than interest rate
fluctuations. We do not have any foreign currency or other derivative financial instruments.

ITEM 4. |

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs 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, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, Dr. Uppaluri, our principal
financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007. Based upon his evaluation, he
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
16
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the
supervision of, our president and chief executive officer and our Treasurer, who is our principal
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 (United States). Internal control over financial reporting includes policies
and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (United States), and that our receipts and
expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our board of directors and
management; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our
financial statements. During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change
in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its
objectives. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.
