IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM 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 with an unidentified business or
businesses. The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in FASB Accounting
Standards Codification Topic No. 915, Development Stage Enterprises, (ASC 915) and is subject to
the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. All activity from the period
June 1, 2007 (Inception) through September 30, 2009 relates to the Companys formation, capital
raising, and its initial public offering as described below. On March 25, 2009, the Company
incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, ID Arizona Corp. (ID Arizona) for the purpose of
accomplishing the merger described herein (Note 10).
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 stockholders before the initial public offering (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 vote against the Business Combination and 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 for or 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 CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
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 United
States government debt securities defined as any Treasury Bill or equivalent securities or money
market funds meeting the conditions specified in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company of 1940. As
of September 30, 2009, the Trust Account assets include $75,035,000 face value US Treasury T-Bills
purchased on September 10, 2009 and maturing on October 8, 2009 (CUSIP 912795P62). The balance of
the Trust Account assets are held in JP Morgan 100% US Treasury Money Market Fund. As of September
30, 2009, the Company has earned approximately $2,005,000 of interest income on the trust from
inception including approximately $19,000 earned during the quarter. As of October 22, 2009 all of
the Trust Account assets are held in JP Morgan 100% US Treasury Money Market Fund.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company
as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and for the three month periods ended September 30,
2009 and 2008, for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the period from
inception (June 1, 2007) to September 30, 2009, 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 consolidated interim 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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited consolidated 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, 2008. The results of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
occur for the year ending December 31, 2009.
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2009 reflect the operations of Ideation Acquisition Corporation and its wholly owned
subsidiary, ID Arizona Corp., incorporated on March 25, 2009. Prior period financial statements
reflect the operations solely of the Company. These financial statements are presented in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.
GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
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 within federal insurance limits. 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.
Earnings (loss) per Common Share
The Company complies with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 260, Earnings Per
Share, (ASC 260) 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 condensed consolidated statements 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
2,849,481 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, 2,657,741 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, 2,245,776 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, 2,123,258 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2,308,903 for the period June 1, 2007 (Inception) to September
30, 2009.

IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and for the period June 1, 2007 (Inception)
to September 30, 2009, the basic shares were used due to the anti-dilutive effect of the additional
shares mentioned above. The Company has paid $0 in dividends for the period June 1, 2007
(Inception) to September 30, 2009.
Redeemable common stock
The Company accounts for redeemable common stock in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards
Codification Topic No. 480 Distinguishing Between Liabilities and Equity (ASC 480). 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 both vote
against the Business Combination and 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.

Note 3 Initial Public Offering
In its initial public 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, 2009, the Company includes approximately
$10,000 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, 2009, the Company has transferred
approximately $2.0 million from the Trust Account, of which approximately $1.1 million has been
used to fund the Companys working capital requirements, and $0.9 million has been for the payment
of taxes.
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 June 1, 2007 (inception) to March 31, 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 dated September 10, 1999, 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 $129,000 from April 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009 for office space and administrative
services and paid approximately $87,000 to Sprint EMX LLC. In January 2009, the Company moved its
principal offices to 1105 N. Market Street, Suite 1300, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, while
maintaining an office at 1990 S. Bundy Boulevard, Suite 620, Los Angeles, CA 90025. The Company
has incurred approximately $3,000 from January 1, 2009 to September 30, 2009 for office space and
administration services and paid approximately $3,000 to Wilmington Trust SP Services.
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 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.

We reimburse Dr. Frost for Company-related use by Dr. Frost and our other executives of an airplane
owned by a company that is beneficially owned by Dr. Frost. We reimburse Dr. Frost in an amount
equal to the cost of a first class airline ticket between the travel cities for each executive,
including Dr. Frost, traveling on the airplane for Company-related business. We do not reimburse
Dr. Frost for personal use of the airplane by Dr. Frost or any other executive; nor do we pay for
any other fixed or variable operating costs of the airplane. For the nine months ending September
30, 2008 and September 30, 2009, we reimbursed Dr. Frost approximately $16,000 and $5,000,
respectively for Company-related travel by Dr. Frost and other Ideation executives. For the period

for company related travel.
Note 5 Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the basis 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 $440,759 and $452,821 on December 31, 2008 and September
30, 2009, respectively, for the tax effect of temporary differences during the period from June 1,
2007 (Inception) to December 31, 2008, and during the period from June 1, 2007 (Inception) to
September 30, 2009. Temporary differences during the period from June 1, 2007 (Inception) to
December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009 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 (11%) for the periods from June 1, 2007 (Inception) to September 30, 2009, 1.0% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, 8%, for the three month period ended September 30, 2009,
32% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 and (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. Permanent differences during the period June 1, 2007 (Inception) to September 30, 2009
constitute accrued contingent legal fees of $2,083,737, which will be paid only upon the completion
of an acquisition by the Company. These fees will be capitalized as part of the cost of the
acquisition and will not be deductible in determining current Federal taxable income. For financial
statements purposes, these are expensed as incurred under the provision of Accounting Codification
Standards Topic No. 805 Business Combinations (ASC 805).
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Accounting Codification
Standards, Topic No. 740 Income Taxes (ASC 740). There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of
September 30, 2009. ASC 740 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 September 30, 2009. Management is currently unaware of any
issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from
its position.

Note 6 Investments held in Trust Account; U.S. Treasury Securities
Since the closing of the Offering, net proceeds from the offering have been held in a trust
account (Trust Account). The Trust Account may be invested in U.S. government debt securities,
defined as any Treasury Bill or equivalent securities issued by the United States government having
a maturity of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less or money market funds meeting the
conditions specified in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, until the earlier of
(i) the consummation of its first Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust
Account as described below. The proceeds in the Trust Account includes $2,730,000 of the gross
proceeds representing deferred underwriting discounts and commissions that will be released to the
underwriters on completion of a Business Combination.
As of September 30, 2009, investment securities in the Companys Trust Account consist of (a)
approximately $75 million in United States Treasury Bills and (b) approximately $4 million in a
mutual fund that invests in United States Treasury securities. The Company classifies its United
States Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB Accounting
Standards Codification Topic No. 320 InvestmentsDebt and Equity Securities (ASC 320).
Held-to-maturity securities are those securities, which the Company has the ability and intent to
hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the
accompanying balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or
discounts. The Companys investment in the United States Treasury mutual fund account is recorded
at fair value. (Note 7)

Note 7 Fair Value Measurements
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic
No. 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820), 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 ASC 820, the Company elected to defer implementation
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 adoption ASC 820 to the Companys financial assets and liabilities did not have an impact
on the Companys consolidated financial results.
The following table presents information about the Companys assets that are measured at fair
value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009 and December 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. 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 and includes situations where there is little,
if any, market activity for the asset (in millions):

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 8 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. 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 entered into a contingent fee arrangement with its law firm by which legal services
related to potential acquisitions will be considered earned and paid upon the close of a business
combination by the required date. Fees, once earned will be paid out of closing costs. Per the
arrangement, fees for services performed will not be due to its law firm unless an acquisition is
successfully completed. As of September 30, 2009 the estimated contingent legal fees to be paid on
the close of an acquisition are approximately $2.1 million.
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 $3.1
million, using an expected life of five years from the date of the IPO, volatility of 143.8% and a
risk-free interest rate of 0.14%. Because the units do not have a trading history, the volatility
factor is based on information currently available to management. The volatility factor of 143.8%
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.
Note 9 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 and outstanding as of September 30, 2009.
Note 10 Agreement and Plan of Merger
On March 31, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, Conversion and
Share Exchange (the Share Exchange Agreement) with ID Arizona Corp., an Arizona corporation and
wholly owned subsidiary of Ideation (ID Arizona), SearchMedia International Limited, an exempted
company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (SM Cayman or SearchMedia),
the subsidiaries of SM Cayman, and Shanghai Jingli Advertising Co. Ltd. (Jingli Shanghai; and
together with SM Cayman and its subsidiaries, the SearchMedia entities or SM entities), and
certain shareholders and warrant holders of SM Cayman, among others (such shareholders, warrant
holders and other parties, together with the SM entities, the SearchMedia parties).

IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
The Share Exchange Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Share Exchange Agreement and following receipt of stockholder approval by the Company,
the Company will complete a corporate reorganization that would result in holders of the Companys
securities holding securities in SearchMedia Holdings Limited (ID Cayman), a Cayman Islands
company, rather than in the Company, a Delaware corporation. The reorganization involves two steps.
First, the Company will effect a short-form merger, pursuant to which it will merge with and into
ID Arizona, with ID Arizona surviving the merger. Second, after the merger, ID Arizona will become
ID Cayman, a Cayman Islands company, pursuant to a conversion and continuation procedure under
Arizona and Cayman Islands law. The reorganization will change the Companys place of incorporation
from Delaware to the Cayman Islands. We refer to the entire two-step transaction as the
redomestication. The redomestication will result in all of the Company issued and outstanding
shares of common stock immediately prior to the redomestication converting into ordinary shares of
ID Cayman, and all units, warrants and other rights to purchase the Companys common stock
immediately prior to the redomestication being exchanged for substantially equivalent securities of
ID Cayman.
On May 27, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment (the First Amendment) to the Share
Exchange Agreement with Earl Yen, Tommy Cheung, Stephen Lau and Qinying Liu, as the SM Cayman
shareholders representatives. The First Amendment amends the Share Exchange Agreement to provide
that the consent of Linden Ventures will be required in the event of any amendment to or waiver of
any provision contained in certain sections of the Share Exchange Agreement that directly affect
Linden Ventures or if any amendment or waiver disproportionately affects Linden Ventures relative
to other SM Cayman security holders.
In addition, the First Amendment provides for an amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of
Association of ID Cayman following completion of the Business Combination to provide that the
Series A preferred shares of ID Cayman shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, at any
time after six months, rather than eighteen months, following the original issue date.
On September 8, 2009 and September 22, 2009, the Company entered into a Second and Third
Amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement, respectively.
Immediately following the redomestication, ID Cayman will complete the business combination
with the SearchMedia parties (the Business Combination) pursuant to which the holders of the
outstanding ordinary and preferred shares of SM Cayman immediately before the Business Combination
will receive from ID Cayman 6,662,727 ordinary shares of ID Cayman. Certain holders of SM Cayman
promissory notes will receive 1,712,874 ordinary shares of ID Cayman and warrants to purchase
428,219 ordinary shares of ID Cayman. The holders of the outstanding warrants of SM Cayman
immediately before the Business Combination will receive from ID Cayman warrants to purchase
1,519,186 ordinary shares of ID Cayman. Each restricted share award of SM Cayman that has not fully
vested before the Business Combination will be assumed by ID Cayman and converted into a restricted
share award of ID Cayman. The holder of each such award will be entitled to receive a number of ID
Cayman shares equal to (i) the number of ordinary shares of SM Cayman that were subject to the
award before the Business Combination multiplied by (ii) 0.0675374, rounded down to the nearest
whole number of shares. The holders of any ID Cayman shares delivered upon the vesting of an ID
Cayman restricted share award before the one year anniversary of the closing of the Business
Combination shall be subject to lock-up restrictions until such anniversary. Each option of SM
Cayman that has not been exercised before the Business Combination will be assumed by ID Cayman and
converted into an option to purchase ordinary shares of ID Cayman. Each such option of ID Cayman
will be exercisable for a number of ID Cayman ordinary shares equal to (i) the number of ordinary
shares of SM Cayman that were subject to the option before the Business Combination multiplied by
(ii) 0.0675374, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. The per share exercise price of
each such option of ID Cayman will be (i) the original per share exercise price of the option of SM
Cayman divided by (ii) 0.0675374, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The holders of any ID
Cayman shares delivered upon the exercise of an ID Cayman option before the one year anniversary of
the closing of the Business Combination shall be subject to lock-up restrictions until such
anniversary.
In addition, SM Cayman shareholders and warrant holders may receive up to an additional
10,150,352 ordinary shares pursuant to an earn-out provision in the Share Exchange Agreement. On
the closing of the Business Combination, SM Cayman will be a wholly owned subsidiary of ID Cayman.
On October 5, 2009, the Company commenced its mailing of the definitive proxy statements to
Ideation stockholders and will hold the special meeting of stockholders on October 27, 2009 to vote
upon the Business Combination and the matters associated therewith.
Note 11 Going concern issues arising from the requirements of our certificate of incorporation
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to
successfully complete a business combination by November 19, 2009. The accompanying condensed
consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if
the Company is unable to continue as a going concern and is required to liquidate.

IDEATION ACQUISITION CORP.
(a corporation in the development stage)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company will continue
in existence only until November 19, 2009. If the Company has not completed a business combination
by such date, its corporate existence will cease except for the purposes of winding up our affairs
and liquidating, pursuant to Section 278 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This has the same
effect as if its Board of Directors and Stockholders had formally voted to approve its dissolution
pursuant to Section 275 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company views the provision
terminating its corporate life by November 19, 2009 as an obligation to its stockholders. This
provision will be amended only in connection with, and upon consummation of, its initial business
combination by such date.

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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements and
the accompanying notes to these financial statements.
Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements

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

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.
On March 25, 2009, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, ID Arizona Corp. (ID
Arizona) for the purpose of accomplishing the merger described below.
17
On March 31, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, Conversion and
Share Exchange (the Share Exchange Agreement) with ID Arizona Corp., an Arizona corporation and
wholly owned subsidiary of Ideation (ID Arizona), SearchMedia International Limited, an exempted
company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (SM Cayman or SearchMedia),
the subsidiaries of SM Cayman, and Shanghai Jingli Advertising Co. Ltd. (Jingli Shanghai; and
together with SM Cayman and its subsidiaries, the SearchMedia entities or SM entities), and
certain shareholders and warrant holders of SM Cayman, among others (such shareholders, warrant
holders and other parties, together with the SM entities, the SearchMedia parties).
The Share Exchange Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Share Exchange Agreement and following receipt of stockholder approval by the Company,
the Company will complete a corporate reorganization that would result in holders of the Companys
securities holding securities in SearchMedia Holdings Limited (ID Cayman), a Cayman Islands
company, rather than in the Company, a Delaware corporation. The reorganization involves two steps.
First, the Company will effect a short-form merger, pursuant to which it will merge with and into
ID Arizona, with ID Arizona surviving the merger. Second, after the merger, ID Arizona will become
ID Cayman, a Cayman Islands company, pursuant to a conversion and continuation procedure under
Arizona and Cayman Islands law. The reorganization will change the Companys place of incorporation
from Delaware to the Cayman Islands. We refer to the entire two-step transaction as the
redomestication. The redomestication will result in all of the Company issued and outstanding
shares of common stock immediately prior to the redomestication converting into ordinary shares of
ID Cayman, and all units, warrants and other rights to purchase the Companys common stock
immediately prior to the redomestication being exchanged for substantially equivalent securities of
ID Cayman.
On May 27, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment (the First Amendment) to the Share
Exchange Agreement with Earl Yen, Tommy Cheung, Stephen Lau and Qinying Liu, as the SM Cayman
shareholders representatives. The First Amendment amends the Share Exchange Agreement to provide
that the consent of Linden Ventures will be required in the event of any amendment to or waiver of
any provision contained in certain sections of the Share Exchange Agreement that directly affect
Linden Ventures or if any amendment or waiver disproportionately affects Linden Ventures relative
to other SM Cayman security holders.
In addition, the First Amendment provides for an amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of
Association of ID Cayman following completion of the Business Combination to provide that the
Series A preferred shares of ID Cayman shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, at any
time after six months, rather than eighteen months, following the original issue date.
On September 8, 2009 and September 22, 2009, the Company entered into a Second and Third
Amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement, respectively.
Immediately following the redomestication, ID Cayman will complete the business combination
with the SearchMedia parties (the Business Combination) pursuant to which the holders of the
outstanding ordinary and preferred shares of SM Cayman immediately before the Business Combination
will receive from ID Cayman 6,662,727 ordinary shares of ID Cayman. Certain holders of SM Cayman
promissory notes will receive 1,712,874 ordinary shares of ID Cayman and warrants to purchase
428,219 ordinary shares of ID Cayman. The holders of the outstanding warrants of SM Cayman
immediately before the Business Combination will receive from ID Cayman warrants to purchase
1,519,186 ordinary shares of ID Cayman. Each restricted share award of SM Cayman that has not fully
vested before the Business Combination will be assumed by ID Cayman and converted into a restricted
share award of ID Cayman. The holder of each such award will be entitled to receive a number of ID
Cayman shares equal to (i) the number of ordinary shares of SM Cayman that were subject to the
award before the Business Combination multiplied by (ii) 0.0675374, rounded down to the nearest
whole number of shares. The holders of any ID Cayman shares delivered upon the vesting of an ID
Cayman restricted share award before the one year anniversary of the closing of the Business
Combination shall be subject to lock-up restrictions until such anniversary. Each option of SM
Cayman that has not been exercised before the Business Combination will be assumed by ID Cayman and
converted into an option to purchase ordinary shares of ID Cayman. Each such option of ID Cayman
will be exercisable for a number of ID Cayman ordinary shares equal to (i) the number of ordinary
shares of SM Cayman that were subject to the option before the Business Combination multiplied by
(ii) 0.0675374, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares. The per share exercise price of
each such option of ID Cayman will be (i) the original per share exercise price of the option of SM
Cayman divided by (ii) 0.0675374, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The holders of any ID
Cayman shares delivered upon the exercise of an ID Cayman option before the one year anniversary of
the closing of the Business Combination shall be subject to lock-up restrictions until such
anniversary.
In addition, SM Cayman shareholders and warrant holders may receive up to an additional
10,150,352 ordinary shares pursuant to an earn-out provision in the Share Exchange Agreement. On
the closing of the Business Combination, SM Cayman will be a wholly owned subsidiary of ID Cayman.
On October 5, 2009, the Company commenced its mailing of the definitive proxy statements to
Ideation stockholders and will hold the special meeting of stockholders on October 27, 2009 to vote
upon the Business Combination and the matters associated therewith.
Results of Operations
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 equivalents.
18
Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders for the period from June 1, 2007
(inception) to September 30, 2009, was approximately $(1,757,000), which consisted of $2,005,000 in
interest income offset by $3,594,000 in formation and operating expenses and $168,000 in income
taxes.
Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 was approximately $(2,136,000) which consisted of approximately $49,000 in interest income
offset by $2,212,000 in formation and operating expenses and $(27,000) in income taxes. 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 interest earned on 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, 2009, we had cash outside of the Trust Account of approximately $42,000 cash
held in the Trust Account of approximately $78,815,000, and other current assets of approximately
$16,000 and total current liabilities of $2,237,000. We believe that the funds available to us
outside of the Trust Account will be sufficient to allow us to operate until the SearchMedia
transaction is completed.
At our instructions, on February 13, 2008, April 8, 2008, June 6, 2008, September 3, 2008,
October 22, 2008, March 26, 2009, August 14, 2009 and October 14, 2009 the Trustee transferred
$300,000, $400,000, $400,000, $400,000, $350,000, $100,000, $45,000 and $11,000 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.

measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its

consolidated financial statements.
Redeemable common stock
We account for redeemable common stock in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification Topic No. 480 Distinguishing Between Liabilities and Equity (ASC 480). 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
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
reflect the operations of Ideation Acquisition Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, ID
Arizona Corp., incorporated on March 25, 2009. Prior periods financial statements reflect the
operations solely of the Company. These 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
within federal insurance limits. 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.
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, 2009.
Net Income per Common Share
We comply with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 260, Earnings Per Share,
(ASC 260) 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 we do not consummate a business combination with a suitable business target
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 United States Government Securities and U.S. Treasury 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 short-term US Treasury Securities and 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 reductions instituted by the
U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, particularly because our investments held in the Trust Account are rate
sensitive U.S. Treasury securities and 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.
21
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2009. Based on this evaluation, our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of September 30, 2009.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
Based on an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, there has been no change
in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter, identified in
connection with that evaluation, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
