Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(unaudited)
 
NOTE A—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements as of June 30, 2008, and for the period May 22, 2007 (date of inception) to June, 30 2008, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.
 
NOTE B—DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

FMG Acquisition Corp. (a corporation in the development stage) (“FMG” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on May 22, 2007. The Company was formed to acquire a business operating in or providing services to the insurance industry through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other similar business combination. The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated significant revenue to date. The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting By Development Stage Enterprises”, and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. The Company has selected December 31st as its fiscal year end.
 
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the public offering of Units (as defined in Note D) (the “Offering”), although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination with (or acquisition of) a business operating in or providing services to the insurance industry (“Business Combination”). Furthermore, there is no assurance the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Since the closing of the Offering, approximately 99% of the gross proceeds, after payment of certain amounts to the underwriters, is being held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. “government securities”, defined as any Treasury Bill issued by the United States government having a maturity of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less or any open ended investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that holds itself out as a money market fund and bears the highest credit rating issued by a United States nationally recognized rating agency, until the earlier of (i) the consummation of its Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. The remaining proceeds, as well as up to $1,200,000 of post tax interest income earned on the Trust Account, may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses.
 
The Company will submit any proposed Business Combination for stockholder approval. In the event 30% or more of the outstanding stock (excluding, for this purpose, those shares of common stock issued prior to the Offering) vote against the Business Combination and exercise their conversion rights described below, the Business Combination will not be consummated. Public stockholders voting against a Business Combination will be entitled to convert their stock into a pro rata share of the Trust Account (including the additional 4% fee of the gross proceeds payable to the underwriters upon the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination), including any interest earned (net of taxes payable and the amount distributed to the Company to fund its working capital requirements) on their pro rata share, if the business combination is approved and consummated. However, voting against the Business Combination alone will not result in an election to exercise a stockholder’s conversion rights. A stockholder must also affirmatively exercise such conversion rights at or prior to the time the Business Combination is voted upon by the stockholders. All of the Company’s stockholders prior to the Offering, including all of the directors and officers of the Company, have agreed to vote all of the shares of common stock held by them in accordance with the vote of the majority in interest of all other stockholders of the Company.
 
In the event the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by October 4, 2009, the proceeds held in the Trust Account will be distributed to the Company’s public stockholders, excluding the officers and directors of, and the special advisor to, the Company to the extent of their stock holdings prior to the Offering. In the event of such distribution, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in the Offering (assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units to be offered in the Offering discussed in Note D).

F-5


NOTE C—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Development Stage Company:
The Company complies with the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.”
 
Net loss per common share:
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per common share reflects the potential dilution assuming common shares were issued upon the exercise of outstanding “in the money” warrants and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period.
 
The Company’s condensed interim statement of operations includes a presentation of earning per share for common stock subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of earnings per share. The basic and diluted net income per common share amount for the maximum number of shares subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing interest income attributable to common shares subject to redemption (nil for the period from May 22, 2007 to June 30, 2008) by the weighted average number of shares subject to possible redemption. The basic and diluted net income per common share amount for the shares outstanding not subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the 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.

Stock based compensation:
The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payments”. The cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is to be measured based on the grant-date fair value of those instruments.
 
Concentration of credit risk:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times, exceeds the Federal depository insurance coverage of $100,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
 
Fair value of financial instruments:
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under SFAS No. 107, “Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” approximates the carrying amounts presented in the condensed balance sheet.
 
Cash and cash equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Use of estimates:
The preparation of condensed interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Deferred offering costs:
The Company complies with the requirements of the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs consist principally of legal and underwriting fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Offering and that will be charged to capital upon the completion of the Offering or charged to expense if the Offering is not completed.
 
F-6


NOTE C—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Income taxes:
The Company complies with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. In the event that the Company completes a merger (See Note H), the deferred tax asset may not be recognized in full.

Effective May 22, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2008 and no amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position. The adoption of the provisions of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements.

Recently issued accounting standards:
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements," an Amendment of ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," ("SFAS 160").  SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008 with retrospective application. The Company will adopt SFAS 160 beginning January 1, 2009, and Management is currently evaluating the potential impact on the condensed interim financial statements.
 
  In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), "Business Combinations). SFAS 141(R) provides companies with principles and requirements on how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree as well as the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141(R) also requires certain disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Acquisition costs associated with the business combination will generally be expensed as incurred. SFAS 141(R) is effective for business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will require the Company to adopt these provisions for business combinations occurring in fiscal 2009 and thereafter. Early adoption of SFAS 141(R) is not permitted.

Management does not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed interim financial statements.

NOTE D— OFFERING

On October 11, 2007 the Company sold 4,733,625 units (“Units”) at an offering price of $8.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one redeemable common stock purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 commencing upon the completion of a Business Combination with a target business or the distribution of the Trust Account, and will expire October 4, 2011. The Warrants are redeemable at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon 30 days prior notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given.

Upon consummation of the Offering, the Company’s initial stockholders (“Initial Stockholders”), who owned 100% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock prior to the Offering, forfeited a pro-rata portion of their shares of common stock (an aggregate of 110,344 shares of common stock) as a result of the underwriters’ election not to exercise the balance of a purchase option. Such ownership interests were adjusted upon consummation of the Offering to reflect their aggregate ownership of 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (an aggregate of 1,183,406 shares of common stock).

F-7


NOTE E—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Company has received a limited recourse revolving line of credit totaling $250,000 made available by FMG Investors, LLC. The revolving line of credit terminates upon the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination or the cessation of FMG’s corporate existence 24 months from the date of the Offering  (as such borrowings may be used to pay costs, expenses and claims in connection with any such dissolution and liquidation). The revolving line of credit is non-interest bearing.
 
The Company presently occupies office space provided by an affiliate of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Such affiliate has agreed that, until the acquisition of a target business by the Company, it will make such office space, as well as certain office and secretarial services, available to the Company, as may be required by the Company from time to time. The Company has agreed to pay such affiliate $7,500 per month for such services.
 
Certain of the directors and officers of the Company have agreed to purchase through FMG Investors, LLC, in a private placement, 1,250,000 warrants immediately prior to the Offering at a price of $1.00 per warrant (an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,250,000) from the Company and not as part of the Offering. They have also agreed that these warrants purchased by them will not be sold or transferred until 90 days after the completion of a Business Combination.

NOTE F—COMMITMENTS
 
The Company paid an underwriting discount of 3% of the public unit offering price to the underwriters at the closing of the Offering, with an additional 4% fee of the gross offering proceeds payable upon the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination.

The Company has agreed to sell to Pali Capital, Inc, for $100, as additional compensation, an option to purchase up to a total of 450,000 units at a per-unit price of $10.00. The units issuable upon exercise of this option are also identical to those offered in the Offering. The sale was accounted for as an equity transaction. Accordingly, there was no net impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, except for the recording of the $100 proceeds from the sale.

The Company has determined, based upon a Black-Scholes model, that the fair value of the option on the date of sale would be approximately $2.32 per unit, or $1,044,000 in total, using an expected life of five years, volatility of 34.9% and a risk-free interest rate of 3.69 %.

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R, Share Based Payments (SFAS 123R), the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is to be measured based on the grant-date fair value of those instruments. Because the Company does not have a trading history, the Company needed to estimate the potential volatility of its common stock price, which will depend on a number of factors which cannot be ascertained at this time. SFAS 123R requires the Company to measure the option based on an appropriate industry sector index instead of the expected volatility of its share price. The volatility calculation of 34.9% is based on the five year average volatility for a group of the 20 smallest insurance companies in the Russell 2000 (“Index”). The Company referred to the Index because management believes that the average volatility is a reasonable benchmark to use in estimating the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock post-business combination. Although an expected life of five years was taken into account for purposes of assigning a fair value to the option, if the Company does not consummate a business combination within the prescribed time period and liquidates, the option would become worthless.

Although the purchase option and its underlying securities have been registered under the registration statement, the purchase option will provide for registration rights that will permit the holder of the purchase option to demand that a registration statement be filed with respect to all or any part of the securities underlying the purchase option within five years of the completion of the offering. Further, the holders of the purchase option will be entitled to piggy - back registration rights in the event the Company undertakes a subsequent registered offering within seven years of the completion of the Offering.

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to 675,000 additional units to cover the over-allotment. The underwriter used 233,625 of the additional units at the time of closing and did not exercise the balance of the option.

NOTE G—PREFERRED STOCK
 
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2008, the Company had not issued shares of preferred stock. The Company’s certificate of incorporation prohibits it, prior to a Business Combination, from issuing preferred stock which participates in the proceeds of the Trust Account or which votes as a class with the common stock on a Business Combination.

NOTE H—AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

On April 2, 2008, FMG issued a press release with respect to the execution of an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with United Insurance Holdings, L.C., a limited liability company formed in the State of Florida (“United”) and United Subsidiary Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMG (“United Subsidiary”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FMG agreed to purchase all of the outstanding membership interests of United and United agreed to merge with United Subsidiary in a transaction whereby United would be the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMG. On the closing date, two of the current directors and all of the current officers of FMG will resign and United will appoint new officers and three new directors. Upon consummation of the merger, FMG will change its name to United Insurance Holdings Corp.

NOTE I — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company implemented SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (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 Company’s financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually did not have an impact on the Company’s financial results.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Interim Financial Statements and footnotes thereto contained in this report.

Overview

We were formed on May 22, 2007 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset or stock acquisition, exchangeable share transaction, joint venture or other similar business combination with one or more domestic or international operating businesses. Until consummation of our Offering in October 2007, all of our activity was related to our formation and Offering. Since then, we have been searching for prospective target businesses to acquire and have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”) with United Insurance Holdings, L.C., a limited liability company formed in the State of Florida (“United”) and United Subsidiary Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMG (“United Subsidiary”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FMG agreed to purchase all of the outstanding membership interests of United and United agreed to merge with United Subsidiary in a transaction whereby United would be the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMG.  We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our public offering and our capital stock in effecting the business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In the event we do not consummate the proposed business combination with United, we intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our recently completed public offering, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, in effecting a business combination.

Forward Looking Statements

The statements discussed in this Report include forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had approximately $45,626 of cash available for general corporate purposes and $37,498,748 of cash and cash equivalents held in trust. The cash and cash equivalents held in trust were generated by the proceeds from our initial public offering of approximately $37,869,000, the proceeds of the sale of founder securities of $1,250,000, and $547,607 of interest earned on the funds.

The Company placed $37,452,930 of the net proceeds from the initial public offering of our units and sale of founder securities in trust and the remaining amount was held outside of the trust. As of June 30, 2008, we believe the Company's remaining balance of $964,450 available for general corporate purposes will be sufficient to allow us to operate until October 4, 2009, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time.
        
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in trust at June 30, 2008 to (i) acquire United or, in the event not consummated acquire a different target business, including identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the target business, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination, (ii) pay income taxes and (iii) upon the completion of a business combination, pay the deferred underwriting fee of $1,514,760. We may not use all of the proceeds held in the Trust Account in connection with a business combination, either because the consideration for the business combination is less than the proceeds in trust or because we finance a portion of the consideration with capital stock or debt securities that we can issue. In that event, the proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used to finance the operations of the target business or businesses. The operating businesses we acquire in such business combination must have, individually or collectively, a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding deferred underwriter's fee of $1,514,760) at the time of such acquisition. If we consummate multiple business combinations that collectively have a fair market value of at least 80% of our net assets, then we would require that such transactions be consummated simultaneously.

If we are unable to consummate a business combination by October 4, 2009, we will be required to liquidate. If we are required to liquidate, the per share liquidation amount may be less than the initial per unit Offering price because of the underwriting commissions and expenses related to our Offering, the cost of our liquidation, and because of the value of the warrants in the per unit offering price. Additionally, if third parties make claims against us, the Offering proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to those claims, resulting in a further reduction to the per share liquidation price. Under Delaware law, our stockholders who have received distributions from us may be held liable for claims by third parties to the extent such claims are not been paid by us.
Furthermore, our warrants will expire worthless if we liquidate before the completion of a Business Combination.

2


In connection with our Offering, Pali Capital Inc. has agreed to defer payment of the remaining four percent (4%) of the gross proceeds ($1,514,760) until completion of a Business Combination. Until a Business Combination is complete, these funds will remain in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination then the 4% deferred fee will become part of the funds returned to the Company's Public Stockholders from the Trust Account upon our liquidation.

Other than contractual obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, we do not have any other long-term contractual obligations.

Results of Operations
 
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 of $128,091 consisted of $73,298 of general and administrative costs, offset by $113,723 of interest income and an income tax benefit of $87,666.

We consummated the Offering of 4,733,625 Units on October 11, 2007. Gross proceeds received from our Offering were $39,119,100 (including the over-allotment option and warrants sold privately). We paid a total of $1,136,070 in underwriting discounts and commissions, and approximately $386,793 was paid for costs and expenses related to the Offering. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the Offering expenses, the total net proceeds to us from the Offering were approximately $37,596,237, of which $37,452,930 was deposited into the trust account (or approximately $7.92 per share). The remaining proceeds are available to be used by us to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. We will use substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering to acquire a target business, including identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting the target business, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination. To the extent our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the proceeds held in the trust fund as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used to finance the operations of the target business. We believe we will have sufficient available funds outside of the trust fund to operate through October 4, 2009, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, we may need to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities if such funds are required to consummate a business combination that is presented to us. We would only consummate such a financing simultaneously with the consummation of a business combination. The proposed Business Combination with United will not require us to raise additional funds.
 
Commencing on October 11, 2007, and ending upon the acquisition of a target business, we began incurring a fee from Fund Management Group LLC, an affiliate of Gordon G. Pratt, our chief executive officer, of $7,500 per month for providing us with office space and certain general and administrative services. In addition, Mr. Pratt advanced $100,000 to us for payment on our behalf of offering expenses. This amount was repaid following the Offering from the net proceeds of the Offering.
