OVERVIEW
We were formed on April 10, 2007 for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, an operating business in the education industry. Our initial business combination must be with a target business whose fair market value is at least equal to 80% of our net assets at the time of such acquisition. We intend to use cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering and concurrent private placement, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, to effect such business combination.
On August 7, 2009, Camden, Dlorah, Inc. a privately owned South Dakota corporation ("Dlorah"), and Dlorah Subsidiary, Inc., a newly formed Delaware Corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Camden ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, which agreement was amended and restated in its entirety on August 11, 2009 (as amended, the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Dlorah stockholders have agreed to contribute all of the outstanding capital stock of Dlorah to Camden in exchange for shares of a newly created class of stock, warrants and restricted shares of currently authorized common stock of Camden. At closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into Dlorah with Dlorah surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Camden (the "Transaction"). In connection with the Transaction, Camden intends to apply to have its common stock and warrants listed on either the Nasdaq Capital Market or the Nasdaq Global Market, as the parties may mutually determine.
Dlorah, Inc., through its education divisions known as National American University ("NAU"), operates a private, for-profit university with 16 campuses in seven states, as well as extensive online course offerings. NAU offers undergraduate and graduate career-oriented technical and professional degree programs in accounting, applied management, business administration, health care and information technology. NAU also offers graduate degree programs that include a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Management degree. Dlorah, through its real estate division, develops, leases and sells luxury condominiums, apartments and townhouses in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Camden will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Dlorah through a structured transaction valued at approximately $143,800,000 in connection with which the Dlorah stockholders will receive (1) 100,000 shares of a class of stock to be created immediately prior to the closing of the Transaction, such series to be known as Class A Stock, which shares shall be convertible into 15,730,000 shares of Common Stock, as such conversion number may be adjusted as described herein and in the Merger Agreement, (2) 2,800,000 newly issued Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 2,800,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share, and (3) 575,000 shares of restricted Common Stock, which such shares shall not be freely tradable until such time as the Common Stock trades at or above $8.00 per share for any sixty (60) consecutive trading day period; provided, that such shares of restricted Common Stock shall be forfeited on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of issuance, if such restriction has not been satisfied. The Class A Stock shall be entitled to an annual accruing dividend equal to $0.44 per share for the first two years following issuance and shall automatically convert into Common Stock at the end of such two year period. When and if a dividend is paid on the Class A Stock, the holders of Common Stock will receive a dividend equal to one-fourth of the total of the dividend paid on the Class A Stock.
If, as of the Closing Date, the Merger Consideration represents less than an aggregate of seventy percent (70%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Camden, on an as-converted and fully diluted basis, then the Merger Consideration shall be increased such that it equals seventy percent (70%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Camden, on an as-converted and fully diluted basis as of the Closing Date.
The Merger Consideration will also be adjusted if the average of the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the applicable trading market during the 10 trading day period ending immediately preceding the Closing Date is less than $7.00 per share. In that event, the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Class A Stock is convertible shall be increased such that the aggregate value of the Stock Consideration and Warrant Consideration would have the same aggregate value as if the average of the closing sales price of the Common Stock were $7.00 per share.
The net aggregate amount of proceeds held in Camden's trust account will be available for use as working capital of Dlorah following consummation of the Transaction. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, such amount shall be no less than $22,166,290 after payment in full of any taxes then due and owing, the deferred underwriting fee owed to the underwriter's of Camden's initial public offering, any fees and expenses payable to Camden's investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors, any amounts paid to Camden stockholders, warrantholders or unit holders for conversion of their Common Stock or units or repurchase of their Common Stock, units or warrants, and any other of Camden's or Merger Sub's unpaid costs, fees and expenses associated with the Merger Agreement, the proxy statement to be filed in connection therewith and the transactions contemplated thereby.
Each of the Dlorah stockholders has agreed, for a period of 180 days from the closing date of the Transaction, whether on his, her or its own behalf or on behalf of entities, family members or trusts affiliated with or controlled by him, her or it, not to offer, issue, grant any option on, sell or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Merger Consideration received. In connection with the Transaction, the 2,800,000 Warrants owned by Camden Learning, LLC, the Company's sponsor, shall be exchanged for 250,000 shares of restricted Common Stock, which shares shall not be freely tradable until such time as the Common Stock trades at or above $8.00 per share for any sixty (60) consecutive trading day period; provided, that such shares of restricted Common Stock shall be forfeited on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of issuance if such restriction has not been satisfied.
The U.S. education industry has continued to show substantial growth in the past decade, due to what we believe to be the importance of developing a skilled workforce. A skilled workforce is increasingly reliant on intellectual capital as the U.S. economy continues its shift to become focused on services rather than manufacturing. While post-secondary graduates are approximately 30% of the U.S. population, more than 85% have completed their K-12 education according to the National Center for Education Statistics report entitled "Digest of Education Statistics: 2005". International competition, especially in math and science, has driven education legislation, requiring minimum performance levels and allocating funding for supplemental services in underperforming schools. In addition to state and government spending, the U.S. has the second highest level of education funding from private sources in the world at 28%, led only by Korea, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development's report entitled "Education at a Glance 2006". These factors have contributed to the overall increase in education spending with total expenditures for education expected to amount to 7.5% of U.S. gross domestic product in 2003-04, which is approximately 0.6 percentage points higher than in 1993-94 according to the National Center for Education Statistics report entitled "Digest of Education Statistics: 2005". Expenditures for public and private education, from kindergarten through graduate school (excluding postsecondary schools not awarding associate or higher degrees), are estimated at $827 billion for 2003-04 according to the National Center for Education Statistics report entitled "Digest of Education Statistics: 2005". We expect these factors to continue to drive growth across all sectors of the education industry.
We believe this growth has created significant opportunities for companies engaged in the for-profit education industry serving these students. For-profit, four year, Title IV degree granting institutions increased from 80 in 1993-1994 to 350 in 2003-04, while not-for-profit, four year, Title IV degree granting institutions increased from 2,110 in 1993-1994 to 2,180 in 2003-04 according to the National Center for Education Statistic's report entitled "Digest of Education Statistics: 2005". We believe the growth rate in the for-profit sector will continue to outpace non-profit providers. In addition to enrollment in K-12 and post-secondary education, corporate training and early childcare have shown recent growth, after slowdowns following 2000-2001.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On May 16, 2007 we entered into an agreement with certain of our initial stockholders for the sale of 2,800,000 warrants in a private placement. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from us one share of our common stock on a cashless basis. The warrants were sold at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating net proceeds of $2,800,000.
On December 5, 2007, we consummated our initial public offering of 6,250,000 units. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant. On December 19, 2007, we consummated the closing of 376,300 additional units subject to the underwriters' over allotment option. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from us one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.50.
We received gross proceeds of approximately $53,010,400 (which includes the proceeds of a private placement of 2,800,000 warrants for $2,800,000 to our sponsor, Camden Learning, LLC) from the IPO, of which $52,389,984 was placed in a trust account for the benefit of our holders of Common Stock purchased in the IPO or in the aftermarket. As of August 31, 2009, $52,487,764 was held on deposit in the trust account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee. At August 31, 2009, no funds remain available for working capital purposes from the restricted funds held in the Trust Account.

The $1,590,312 of the funds attributable to the deferred underwriting discount and commissions in connection with the offering and private placement will be released to the underwriters less $0.24 per share for any public stockholders exercising their redemption rights, upon consummation of the Transaction.
We believe we will have sufficient available funds outside of the trust fund to operate through November 2009. Although we do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business or effectuating the proposed Transaction, we may need to raise additional funds if the net proceeds of the offering and the private placement prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of the Transaction, or the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, or because we become obligated to redeem for cash a significant number of shares from dissenting stockholders. If we do need to raise additional funds through a private or public offering of debt or equity securities in order to consummate the Transaction, we would only effectuate such a financing in anticipation of or simultaneously with the consummation of the Transaction. We cannot assure you such financing would be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
Commencing on November 29, 2007, we began incurring a fee of $7,500 per month for certain administrative services from Camden Partners Holdings, LLC. In addition, in 2007, Camden Learning, LLC advanced to us an aggregate of $200,000 for payment of offering expenses on our behalf. These advances were repaid on December 5, 2007 from the proceeds of the initial public offering that were allocated to pay offering expenses.
If we are unable to consummate the Transaction by November 29, 2009, we will be forced to liquidate. If we are forced 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 initial public offering and because of the value of the warrants in the per unit offering price. Additionally, if third parties make claims against us, the initial public 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 have not been paid by us. Furthermore, our warrants will expire worthless if we liquidate before the consummation of the Transaction.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended August 31, 2009, we had a net loss of $825,970 consisting of interest income of $3,624 less costs attributable to general and administrative expenses of $830,582 and net of a benefit for income taxes of $988. For the three months ended August 31, 2008, we had net income of $92,800, consisting of interest income of $265,325 less costs attributable to organization, formation and general and administrative expenses of $105,333 and net of a provision for income taxes of $67,192. The decrease in interest income for the period was a result of a significant decrease in the interest rate caused by an increase in demand for government securities and treasury bills. For the period from April 10, 2007 (inception) through August 31, 2009, we had a net loss of $942,984, consisting of interest income of $1,229,422 less costs attributable to organization, formation and general and administrative expenses of $2,068,860 and net of a provision for income taxes of $79,990.
The Company received net proceeds from the offering and sale of the underwriters' purchase option of $47,492,852, before deducting deferred underwriting compensation of $1,500,000. On December 19, 2007 the underwriters for the offering exercised a portion of their over-allotment option, generating proceeds of $2,889,984, before deducting deferred underwriting compensation of $90,312.
On August 11, 2009, we entered into a Merger Agreement pursuant to which we will issue equity securities as consideration for all the outstanding stock of Dlorah, as more fully described above. In addition, we may need to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities if such funds are required to consummate the Transaction. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only effectuate such a fund-raising in anticipation of or simultaneously with the consummation of the Transaction.
We currently pay Camden Partners Holdings, LLC an aggregate fee of $7,500 per month which includes the cost of other general and administrative services provided to us by Camden Partners Holdings, LLC.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or other long term liabilities. We entered into a Service Agreement with Camden Partners Holdings, LLC requiring us to pay $7,500 per month. The agreement terminates on the earlier of the completion of a business combination or upon our dissolution.
The Company has entered into an engagement agreement with Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. whereby Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. will provide financial advisory and investment banking services to the Company.
Other than contractual obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, we do not have any other long-term contractual obligations.
