ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp. was organized on September 9, 2009 as a Nevada corporation to effect the reincorporation of Senior Management Services of Crane, Inc., a Texas corporation, mandated by the plan of reorganization discussed below. In accordance with the confirmed plan of reorganization, our current business plan is to seek to identify a privately-held operating company desiring to become a publicly held company by merging with us through a reverse merger or acquisition. We are a development stage company and a shell company as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, and Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. As a shell company, we have no operations and no or nominal assets. Although we have no assets or operations, we believe we possess a stockholder base which will make us a suitable merger or acquisition candidate to an operating, privately-held company seeking to become publicly held. Our principal office is located at 174 FM 1830, Argyle, TX 76226, and our telephone number is (972) 233-0300.

History

On January 17, 2007 Senior Management Services of Crane, Inc. and its affiliated companies, or collectively SMS Companies, filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On August 1, 2007, the bankruptcy court entered its confirmation order which confirmed the First Amended, Modified Chapter 11 Plan, or the Plan, as presented by SMS Companies and their creditors. The effective date of the Plan was August 10, 2007.
  
               During the three years prior to filing the reorganization petition, SMS Companies operated a chain of skilled nursing homes in Texas, which prior to the bankruptcy proceedings consisted of 14 nursing facilities, ranging in size from approximately 114 beds to 325 beds. In the aggregate, SMS Companies provided care to approximately 1,600 resident patients and employed over 1,400 employees. A significant portion of the SMS Companies cash flow was provided by patients covered by Medicare and Medicaid. The SMS Companies facilities provided round-the-clock care for the health, well-being, safety and medical needs of its patients. The administrative and operational oversight of the nursing facilities was provided by an affiliated management company located in Arlington, Texas. 
  
               In 2005 SMS Companies obtained a secured credit facility from a financial institution. The credit facility eventually was comprised of an $8.3 million term loan and a revolving loan of up to $15 million which was utilized for working capital and to finance the purchase of the real property on which two of its nursing care facilities operated. By late 2006, SMS Companies were in an “overadvance” position, whereby the amount of funds extended by the lender exceeded the amount of collateral eligible to be borrowed under the credit facility. Beginning in September 2006, SMS Companies entered into the first of a series of forbearance agreements whereby the lender agreed to forebear from declaring the financing in default provided SMS Companies obtained a commitment from a new lender to refinance and restructure the credit facility. SMS Companies were unsuccessful in obtaining a commitment from a new lender and on January 5, 2007, the lender declared SMS Companies in default and commenced foreclosure and collection proceedings. On January 9, 2007 the lender agreed to provide an additional $1.7 million to fund payroll and permit a controlled transaction to bankruptcy. Subsequently, on January 17, 2007 the SMS Companies filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Plan of Reorganization

During the administration of the SMS Companies bankruptcy reorganization proceedings, it became apparent that there would not be any available funds to pay the claims of the unsecured creditors. Halter Financial Group, Inc., or HFG, was contacted by a legal representative of the SMS Companies to determine whether HFG would participate with the SMS Companies and their creditors in formulating the structure of the Plan to provide an opportunity for the unsecured SMS Companies’ creditors to receive payment for all or a portion of their claims. HFG had no affiliation or involvement with any of the SMS Companies prior to the bankruptcy action.

HFG is a Dallas, Texas based consulting firm specializing in the area of mergers, acquisitions and corporate finance. HFG had previously participated with other companies and their creditors in structuring reorganization plans under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code which provided, in part, for a debtor with significant unsecured creditors to emerge out of bankruptcy, with the creditors exchanging their claims for equity in the reorganized company. The reorganized company would then seek a merger or business combination with an operating business, which would provide the shareholders with the opportunity to recover all or a portion of their previous claims through appreciation of the stock value after a business combination with a private operating company.

HFG agreed to participate with SMS Companies and their creditors in structuring the Plan. As part of the Plan, HFG provided $115,000 to be used to pay professional fees associated with the Plan confirmation process. HFG was granted an option that provided for the issuance of equity securities in each of the 23 SMS Companies, including Senior Management Services of Crane, Inc. in satisfaction of HFG’s administrative claims. The option to acquire equity securities in lieu of repayment of the $115,000 administrative claim was exercised by HFG.  Although we are unable to specifically determine how the $115,000 was utilized, we believe that the bankruptcy trustee used the funds to pay administrative expenses, including legal and other fees which were incurred during the structuring and implementation of the Plan.

The Plan provides that HFG will receive approximately 80% of the common stock in each SMS Company and that the unsecured creditors will receive the remaining 20% of the common stock in exchange for their claims. Each creditor will receive its pro rata share of the common stock based on the percentage of its claim to the total amount of the outstanding unsecured claims for each SMS Company in which the creditor holds a claim. Other than receiving 80% of the common stock in each SMS Company, HFG will not receive any additional cash compensation from or equity securities in any of the SMS Companies nor will HFG recoup any portion of the $115,000 payment from any of the SMS Companies.

As provided in the Plan, approximately 80% of our outstanding common stock, or 415,960 shares, was issued to HFG in satisfaction of HFG’s administrative claims. The remaining 20% of our outstanding common stock, or 84,045 shares, was issued to 482 holders of unsecured debt. The 500,005 shares, or Plan Shares, were issued pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

     As further consideration for the issuance of the 415,960 Plan Shares to HFG, the Plan required HFG to assist us in identifying a potential merger or acquisition candidate. HFG is responsible for the payment of our operating expenses and HFG will provide us, at no cost, with consulting services, including assisting us with formulating the structure of any proposed merger or acquisition. Additionally, HFG is responsible for paying our legal and accounting expenses related to this registration statement and our expenses incurred in consummating a merger or acquisition.  

Pursuant to the confirmation order, if we do not consummate a business combination prior to November 10, 2010, the Plan Shares will be deemed canceled, we will file dissolution papers with the State of Nevada, the pre-merger or acquisition injunction provisions of the confirmation order, as they pertain to us, shall be deemed dissolved and no discharge will be granted to us, all without further order of the bankruptcy court. If we timely consummate a merger or acquisition with an entity which is engaged in business, we will file a certificate of compliance with the bankruptcy court which will state that the requirements of the Plan have been met, resulting in the discharge to be deemed granted. Thereafter, the post discharge injunction provisions set forth in the Plan and the confirmation order shall then become effective.

Pursuant to the Plan our unsecured pre-confirmation creditors were issued shares of our common stock in exchange for their claims. As previously noted, the consummation order provided for an injunction and discharge protecting us from the claims of our pre-confirmation creditors while we pursue a business combination with an operating business. If we do not consummate a business combination by November 10, 2010, the Plan Shares will be deemed void and cancelled, the injunction with respect to restricting pre-confirmation creditors from asserting claims against us will be dissolved, and the discharge provided us under the Plan will not be made effective. Our stockholders as such will cease to exist and they will revert back to their position as our unsecured pre-confirmation creditors and will be able to assert and attempt to collect their pre-confirmation claims. Since we have no assets and will cease business operations if we do not timely consummate a business combination, it is very unlikely our creditors will recover any portion of their pre-confirmation claims.

The SMS Companies bankruptcy case is closed as a final decree has been entered. The confirmation order of the Plan was effective on August 10, 2007. No appeal was filed. There is no continuing jurisdiction being exercised by the bankruptcy court over us, or any of the SMS Companies, other than the acceptance of a certificate of compliance filed by us upon the timely completion of a merger or acquisition. 

All 23 SMS Companies, as required by the Plan, will be reorganized with the same corporate structure and with the same business plan as we have and as disclosed by us in this registration statement. However, each SMS Company has a different post confirmation plan date. The post confirmation date for each of the SMS Companies is set forth below:

1 Did not complete a merger or business combination prior to the post confirmation plan date and has ceased
  business operations or been dissolved.

2 Completed merger or business combination prior to post confirmation date. See Table in “Item 5-Directors,
  Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons.”

Effective September 9, 2009, HFG transferred its 415,960 Plan Shares to Halter Financial Investments L.P., or HFI, a Texas limited partnership controlled by Timothy P. Halter.

Timothy P. Halter is the sole officer, director and shareholder of HFG and an officer and member of Halter Financial Investments GP, LLC, general partner of HFI. Mr. Halter has served as our president and sole director since September 9, 2009. Mr. Halter and HFG will assist us with the implementation of our business plan. Although Mr. Halter is unable to estimate the number of hours he will spend on our business affairs each month, he will devote as much of his time as he deems necessary to assist us with the implementation of our business plan.

Business Plan

     Our current business plan is to seek and identify a privately-held operating company desiring to become a publicly held company by combining with us through a reverse merger or acquisition type transaction. Private companies wishing to have their securities publicly traded may seek to merge or effect an exchange transaction with a shell company with a significant stockholder base. As a result of the merger or exchange transaction, the stockholders of the private company will hold a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the shell company. Typically, the directors and officers of the private company become the directors and officers of the shell company. Often the name of the private company becomes the name of the shell company. We believe that by becoming a reporting company, under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act, we will become a more suitable candidate to engage in a combination transaction with a privately-held company.  

We have no capital and must depend on HFG to provide us with the necessary funds to implement our business plan. HFG will utilize its available capital to provide funds for the implementation of our business plan, including the payment of expenses for conducting due diligence research relating to business combination opportunities and costs associated with consummation of a business combination. Neither HFG nor Mr. Halter intends to borrow any funds if HFG does not have sufficient capital for such costs and expenses.

We intend to seek combination opportunities demonstrating the potential of long-term growth as opposed to short-term earnings. However, at the present time, we have not identified any business opportunity that we plan to pursue, nor have we reached any agreement or definitive understanding with any person concerning an acquisition or merger.

Timothy P. Halter will be primarily responsible for investigating business combination opportunities. However, we believe that business opportunities may also come to our attention from various sources, including HFG, professional advisors such as attorneys, and accountants, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals. We have no plan, understanding, agreements, or commitments with any individual for such person to act as a finder of opportunities for us.

6

Our management consists of only one person. Timothy P. Halter, our president and sole director. Mr. Halter will be primarily responsible for conducting our day-to-day operations and will be responsible for implementing our business plan. We will rely solely on the judgment of Mr. Halter when selecting a target company. Mr. Halter will only devote as much of his time as he deems necessary to assist us with the implementation of our business plan. Mr. Halter has not entered into a written employment or consulting agreement with us and he is not expected to do so. The loss of the services of Mr. Halter would adversely affect our ability to implement our business plan.

No discussions regarding the possibility of a business combination are expected to occur until after the effective date of this registration statement. Neither we, or anyone acting on our behalf, have contacted any third parties or had any substantial discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a possible business combination, nor have we, or anyone acting on our behalf, identified or located any suitable target candidate, conducted any research or taken any measures, directly or indirectly, to locate or contact a target business. We can give no assurances that we will be successful in finding or acquiring a desirable business opportunity, given the limited funds that are expected to be available to us for implementation of our business plan. Furthermore, we can give no assurances that any combination or acquisition, if they occur, will be on terms that are favorable to us or our current stockholders.  

We do not propose to restrict our search for a candidate to any particular geographical area or industry, and therefore, we are unable to predict the nature of our future business operations. Our management’s discretion in the selection of business opportunities is unrestricted, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors.

In conjunction with completion of a business acquisition, we anticipate that we will issue an amount of our authorized but unissued common stock that will represent a significant majority of the voting power and equity of our company, which will, in all likelihood, result in stockholders of a target company obtaining a controlling interest in us and thereby reducing the ownership interest of our current stockholders. We may also issue preferred stock to the stockholders of a target company. Holders of preferred stock may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing holders of common stock. As a condition of the business combination, HFI, our majority stockholder, may agree to sell or transfer all or a portion of the common stock it owns to provide the target company with majority control. The resulting change in control will likely result in the removal of our present officer and director and a corresponding reduction in, or elimination of, his participation in future business activities.

We may effectuate a business combination with a merger target whose business operations or even headquarters, place of formation or primary place of business are located outside the United States of America. In such event, we may face the significant additional risks associated with doing business in that country. In addition to the language barriers, different presentations of financial information, different business practices, and other cultural differences and barriers that may make it difficult to evaluate such a merger target, we may encounter ongoing business risks associated with uncertain legal systems and applications of law, prejudice against foreigners, corrupt practices, uncertain economic policies and potential political and economic instability that may be exacerbated in various foreign countries.

Federal and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major considerations in any business combination that we may undertake. Currently, such transactions may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both companies and their stockholders, pursuant to various federal and state tax provisions. We intend to structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both our company and the target entity and their stockholders. However, there can be no assurance that such business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes, which may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.

Although there are no restrictions in the Plan for us to engage in a business combination with an entity that is affiliated or controlled by either HFG, HFI or Mr. Halter, we do not currently intend and do not foresee that we will enter into a merger or acquisition transaction with any business which is controlled by or affiliated with HFG, HFI or Timothy P. Halter.

Investigation and Selection of Business Opportunities

The Plan provides that we shall seek a merger with a viable operating business. There are no other criteria required under the Plan. Management has not determined any other criteria in seeking a candidate target business. 

7

Certain types of business acquisition transactions may be completed without requiring us to first submit the transaction to our stockholders for their approval. If the proposed transaction is structured in such a fashion our stockholders (other than HFI our majority stockholder) will not be provided with financial or other information relating to the candidate prior to the completion of the transaction. Generally, equity securities may be issued in a stock exchange, direct stock purchase for cash or property or in a reverse triangle merger, that is the merger of a target business into a subsidiary of the company, without approval of the shareholders of the company. Additionally the Plan provides that the terms and conditions of a proposed reverse merger or acquisition shall be approved by the majority of the members of our board of directors. No vote by the shareholders shall be required. Statutory mergers, that is the merger of a target company directly into the company, typically requires shareholder approval in accordance with the applicable state laws; however, it is anticipated that such a structure will not be used to effect a combination transaction with an operating business.      

If a proposed business combination or business acquisition transaction is structured that requires our stockholder approval, and we are a reporting company, we will be required to provide our stockholders with information as applicable under Regulations 14A and 14C under the Exchange Act.

We may be required to have our internal control procedures audited for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. A target company may not be in compliance with provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such acquisition or result in our inability to consummate the business transaction.

The analysis of business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of Timothy P. Halter. Although we have not set or determined any criteria for the target business other than that it is an existing operating business, in analyzing potential merger candidates, we will likely consider, among other things, the following factors:

*     Potential for future earnings and appreciation of value of securities;    
*    

Perception of how any particular business opportunity will be received by the investment community and by our stockholders;

   
*    

Eligibility of a candidate, following the business combination, to qualify its securities for listing on a national exchange or on a national automated securities quotation system, such as NASDAQ;

   
*     Historical results of operation;    
*     Liquidity and availability of capital resources;    
*    

Competitive position as compared to other companies of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;

   
*     Strength and diversity of existing management or management prospects that are scheduled for recruitment;    
*     Amount of debt and contingent liabilities; and    
*     The products and/or services and marketing concepts of the target company.    


There is no single factor that will be controlling in the selection of a business opportunity. We will attempt to analyze all factors appropriate to each opportunity and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Because of our limited capital available for investigation and our dependence on HFG and Timothy P. Halter, we may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the business opportunity to be acquired.

We will also seek candidates desiring to create a public market for their securities in order to enhance liquidity for current stockholders, candidates which have long-term plans for raising capital through public sale of securities and believe that the prior existence of a public market for their securities would be beneficial, and candidates which plan to acquire additional assets through issuance of securities rather than for cash, and believe that the development of a public market for their securities will be of assistance in that process. Companies which have a need for an immediate cash infusion are not likely to find a potential business combination with us to be a prudent business transaction alternative.

8

We have no current arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a business combination with a specific entity. We may not be successful in identifying and evaluating a suitable merger candidate or in consummating a business combination. We have not selected a particular industry or specific business within an industry for a target company. We have not established a specific length of operating history or a specified level of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria that we will require a target company to have achieved, or without which we would not consider a business combination with such business entity.

We are unable to predict when we may participate in a business opportunity. We expect, however, that the analysis of specific proposals and the selection of a business opportunity may take several months.

Prior to making a decision to participate in a business transaction, we will generally request that we be provided with written materials regarding the business opportunity containing as much relevant information as possible, including, but not limited to, a description of products, services and company history; management resumes; financial information; available projections, with related assumptions upon which they are based; an explanation of proprietary products and services; evidence of existing patents, trademarks, or service marks, or rights thereto; present and proposed forms of compensation to management; a description of transactions between such company and its affiliates during the relevant periods; a description of present and required facilities; an analysis of risks and competitive conditions; a financial plan of operation and estimated capital requirements; audited financial statements, or if audited financial statements are not available, unaudited financial statements, together with reasonable assurance that audited financial statements would be able to be produced to comply with the requirements of a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Commission upon consummation of the business combination.

As part of our investigation, Timothy P. Halter may meet personally with management and key personnel, may visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of certain provided information, check references of management and key personnel, and take other reasonable investigative measures, to the extent of our limited financial and management resources.

Although there are many shell companies seeking a business combination with private operating businesses, some of which are controlled by shareholders which may have more available funds than we have, we believe that we offer to potential target candidates additional unique features that are not common to most existing shell companies Since we were reorganized under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and emerged from bankruptcy with a Plan that provides, among other things, upon consummation of a business combination, the pre-confirmation claims of our creditors will be discharged, a potential target candidate will be afforded the protection from any pre-confirmation claims being asserted against us. This will decrease the time and cost to the potential target business in conducting its due diligence investigation. The Plan Shares issued to our shareholders were issued in reliance on the exemption afforded under Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and are deemed to be made in a public offering, so that the recipients thereof, are free to resell such securities after the business combination without registration under the Securities Act. This will provide the target business with a shareholder base that can actively participate in market trades and help create an active trading market after the business is qualified for listing on a stock exchange. Also, as a reporting company subject to the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act, the Company’s history and operating results are readily available for review and due diligence research which will save the target business time and expense with its investigation process.

Timothy P. Halter is not required to commit his full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating his time between our operations and other businesses. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination. Mr. Halter is engaged in several other business endeavors and is not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours to our affairs. If his other business affairs require him to devote more substantial amounts of time to such interests, it could limit his ability to devote time to our affairs and could have a negative impact on our ability to consummate a business combination.

Mr. Halter, HFG and HFI, our majority stockholder, are affiliated with other shell companies with business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by us. Mr. Halter, HFG and HFI may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the other entities to which they have fiduciary obligations. Accordingly, there may be conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.  However, if Mr. Halter, HFG or HFI, should become aware of a possible merger candidate and a conflict of interest should arise between us and another entity in which Mr. Halter, HFG or HFI have an interest, we expect that they will give us priority consideration in determining which entity will be presented the business opportunity. We believe that Mr. Halter, HFG and HFI will consider the following factors in resolving any such conflict in our favor:

       

Mr. Halter and HFG have expended significant time and paid legal and accounting fees in preparing this registration statement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HFG provided $115,000 to the bankruptcy trustee which we believe was used to pay administrative fees associated with the structuring and implementation of the Plan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In lieu of repayment of the $115,000, HFG received approximately 80% of the equity securities in the SMS Companies, which includes the 415,960 shares of our common stock held by HFI.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If we do not consummate a business combination by November 10, 2010, our Plan Shares, including the 415,960 shares held by HFI, will be voided and cancelled, we will discontinue business operations and will file dissolution documents with the State of Nevada. In such event, HFI will not be able to receive any value for the 415,960 shares, and our corporate entity as a public reporting shell company will have no value. Additionally, HFG will not have an opportunity to recover from a merger candidate any of its expenses incurred in supporting our business operations, including the professional expenses incurred in the preparation of this registration statement.

   


9

To implement our business plan we may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors will be made by Mr. Halter and their fees will be paid by HFG. We anticipate that such persons may be engaged on an as needed basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to us.           

Competition

 We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with and acquisitions of privately held business entities. We expect to encounter substantial competition in our efforts to locate potential business combination opportunities. The competition may in part come from business development companies, venture capital partnerships and corporations, small investment companies and brokerage firms. Most of these organizations are likely to be in a better position than us to obtain access to potential business acquisition candidates because they have greater experience, resources and managerial capabilities than we do. We also will experience competition from other public companies with similar business purposes, some of which may also have funds available for use by an acquisition candidate.

Employees

We have no employees. Our president and sole director, Timothy P. Halter, will be responsible for managing our administrative affairs, including our reporting obligations pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act. It is anticipated that HFG and Timothy P. Halter will engage consultants, attorneys and accountants as necessary for us to conduct our business operations and to implement and successfully complete our business plan. We do not anticipate employing any full-time employees until we have achieved our business purpose.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Plan of Operation

As a shell company, we have no operations and no or nominal assets. Although we have no assets or operations, we believe we possess a stockholder base which will make us a suitable merger or acquisition candidate to an operating privately-held company seeking to become publicly-held.

Since we were reorganized under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and emerged from bankruptcy with a Plan that provides, among other things, upon consummation of a business combination, the pre-confirmation claims of our creditors will be discharged, a potential target candidate will be afforded the protection from any pre-confirmation claims being asserted against us. This will decrease the time and cost to the potential target business in conducting its due diligence investigation. The Plan Shares issued to our shareholders were issued in reliance on the exemption afforded under Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and are deemed to be made in a public offering, so that the recipients thereof, are free to resell such securities after the business combination without registration under the Securities Act. This will provide the target business with a shareholder base that can actively participate in market trades and help create an active trading market after the business is qualified for listing on a stock exchange. Also, as a reporting company subject to the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act, the Company’s history and operating results are readily available for review and due diligence research which will save the target business time and expense with its investigation process.

We will also seek candidates desiring to create a public market for their securities in order to enhance liquidity for current stockholders, candidates which have long-term plans for raising capital through public sale of securities and believe that the prior existence of a public market for their securities would be beneficial, and candidates which plan to acquire additional assets through issuance of securities rather than for cash, and believe that the development of a public market for their securities will be of assistance in that process. Companies which have a need for an immediate cash infusion are not likely to find a potential business combination with us to be a prudent business transaction alternative.

10

As discussed in Item 1. Description of Business, we intend to locate and combine with an existing, privately-held company which has in our management’s view potential for earnings and appreciation of value of its equity securities, irrespective of the industry in which it is engaged. A combination may be structured as a merger, consolidation, exchange of our common stock for stock or assets or any other form which will result in the combined companies becoming an operating publicly-held corporation.

Pending negotiation and consummation of a business combination, we anticipate that we will have, aside from carrying on our search for a combination partner, no business activities, and, thus, will have no source of revenue. Should we incur any significant liabilities prior to a combination with a private company, we may not be able to satisfy such liabilities as they are incurred, which most likely will negatively impact our ability to consummate a business combination.

If our management pursues one or more combination opportunities beyond the preliminary negotiations stage and those negotiations are subsequently terminated, it is likely that such efforts will exhaust our ability to continue to seek such combination opportunities before any successful combination can be consummated. 
  
               Our management does not intend to pursue any combination proposal beyond the preliminary negotiation stage with any combination candidate which does not furnish us with audited financial statements for its historical operations or can furnish audited financial statements in a timely manner. HFG may engage attorneys and/or accountants to investigate a combination candidate and to consummate a business combination. We may require payment of fees by such merger candidate to fund all or a portion of such expenses. To the extent we are unable to obtain the advice or reports from experts, the risks of any combined business combination being unsuccessful will be enhanced. 
  
               We are not registered and we do not propose to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. We intend to conduct our business activities so as to avoid application of the registration and other provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the related regulations thereunder.      

We have no operating history, no cash, no assets and our business plan has significant business risks. Because of these factors our Independent Registered Certified Public Accounting Firm has issued an opinion on our financial statements that states that our financial statements were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and further states that since we have no viable operations or significant assets and are dependent upon significant stockholders to provide sufficient working capital to maintain the integrity of our corporate entity there exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plans concerning these matters are discussed in Item 1 – Description of Business and Note D to the notes to the accompanying audited financial statements. Our future is dependent on our ability to successfully execute our business plan prior to November 10, 2010. If we fail to do so for any reason, we would not be able to continue as a going concern, the Plan Shares will be cancelled, injunction provisions of the confirmation order, as they pertain to us, shall be deemed dissolved and no discharge will be granted to us, all without further order of the bankruptcy court.

Pursuant to the Plan our unsecured pre-confirmation creditors were issued shares of our common stock in exchange for their claims. As previously noted, the consummation order provided for an injunction and discharge protecting us from the claims of our pre-confirmation creditors while we pursue a business combination with an operating business. If we do not consummate a business combination by November 10, 2010, the Plan Shares will be deemed void and cancelled, the injunction with respect to restricting pre-confirmation creditors from asserting claims against us will be dissolved, and the discharge provided us under the Plan will not be made effective. Our stockholders as such will cease to exist and they will revert back to their position as our unsecured pre-confirmation creditors and will be able to assert and attempt to collect their pre-confirmation claims. Since we have no assets and will cease business operations if we do not timely consummate a business combination, it is very unlikely our creditors will recover any portion of their pre-confirmation claims.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

We have no operations and will not generate any revenue until we consummate a business combination. We will need funds to support our operation and implementation of our plan of operation and to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. HFG is obligated to fund the expenses in implementing our plan of operation and to fund our operating expenses until we complete a business combination. We believe sufficient working capital will be provided by HFG through November 10, 2010 to support and preserve the integrity of our corporate entity and to fund the implementation of our business plan.

Although, we have no current plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or issuance of additional securities prior to the identity of a merger or acquisition candidate and we do not anticipate that we will incur any significant debt prior to a consummation of a business combination, we may in the future compensate providers of services by issuances of securities.

ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY     

We do not own property. We currently maintain a mailing address at 174 FM 1830, Argyle, TX 76226. Our telephone number is (972) 233-0300. Other than this mailing address, we do not currently maintain any other office facilities, and do not anticipate the need for maintaining office facilities at any time until we complete a business combination. We pay no rent or other fees for the use of the mailing address. The facilities are also used by HFG for its business operations. HFG provides us with the use of office equipment and administrative services as necessary to conduct our business activities, including the implementation of our business plan.

ITEM 5. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS

Our directors and executive officers are as follows:

Age

   

Positions Held

   

Timothy P. Halter 

   

43

   

President, Chief Executive Officer,

   
       

Secretary, Chief Financial Officer and Sole Director

   


Our directors serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and have qualified. Directors are elected for one-year terms at the annual stockholders meeting. Officers will hold their positions at the pleasure of the board of directors, absent any employment agreement, of which none currently exists or is contemplated. There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Halter or any other person pursuant to which any director or officer was or is to be selected as a director or officer, and there is no arrangement, plan or understanding as to whether non-management stockholders will exercise their voting rights to continue to elect directors to our board. There are also no arrangements, agreements or understandings between non-management stockholders that may directly or indirectly participate in or influence the management of our affairs. Our board of directors does not have any committees at this time. 

Timothy P. Halter. Mr. Halter, age 43, has served as our sole officer and director since September 9, 2009, Mr. Halter is primarily responsible for implementing our business plan. Since 1995, Mr. Halter has been the president and the sole stockholder of Halter Financial Group, Inc., a Dallas, Texas based consulting firm specializing in the area of mergers, acquisitions and corporate finance. In September 2005, Mr. Halter and other minority partners formed HFI. HFI conducts no business operations. Mr. Halter currently serves as a director of DXP Enterprises, Inc., a public corporation (Nasdaq: DXPE), and is an officer and director of Marketing Acquisition Corp. and SMSA Gainesville Acquisition Corp., each a Nevada corporation, and BTHC XIV, Inc., and BTHC XV, Inc. each a Delaware corporation. Each of the afore-referenced companies is current in the filing of their periodic reports with the SEC. Except for DXP Enterprises, each of the afore-referenced companies for which Mr. Halter acts as an officer and director may be deemed shell corporations. Mr. Halter will devote as much of his time to our business affairs as he deems may be necessary to implement our business plan.

Mr. Halter has significant experience acting in the capacity of the principal stockholder, a director and an executive officer of blank check companies. As demonstrated by the number of reverse merger transactions detailed in the below table, we believe that Mr. Halter possesses the attributes, experience, and qualifications necessary to effect the Company’s stated business plan. Furthermore, given Mr. Halter’s abilities and the Company’s limited financial resources, the Company has determined that it is in its best interests for Mr. Halter to serve as both the Company’s principal executive officer as well as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Since Mr. Halter serves as the Company’s sole director there is no designated lead director, and therefore, any and all risk oversight and risk management matters are the responsibility of Mr. Halter.

The following table identifies those companies with which Mr. Halter has been affiliated that operated as a blank check company at some point in their history and whose securities were registered under the Exchange Act. The table also details Mr. Halter’s prior and present involvement with each referenced company and the status of each company’s business operations immediately after the change of control. The business descriptions provided below were derived from the respective entities’ periodic reports as filed with the SEC as a result of the change of control.
  
               Except for SMSA Gainesville Acquisition Corp., BTHC XIV, Inc., BTHC XV, Inc. and Marketing Acquisitions Corp., each a shell company, we have made no independent verification and we do not make any representations whether any of the below entities are currently:

        An operating business or whether any such entity is currently or has been subject to any bankruptcy proceedings;    
 
        A reporting company under the Exchange Act; or    
 
       

Current in the filing of their respective periodic reports with the SEC or the accuracy of the disclosure in such reports.

   


  
                As noted in the table below, Mr. Halter is currently a director, officer and principal shareholder of Marketing Acquisition Corp. and SMSA Gainesville Acquisition Corp., each a Nevada corporation, as well as, BTHC XIV, Inc., and BTHC XV, Inc., each a Delaware corporation. Regarding the other companies listed in the table, Mr. Halter was not affiliated with any of the operating businesses prior to the consummation of the reverse merger transaction and resigned as an officer and director upon consummation of the transaction. After the merger transaction, Mr. Halter did not participate in the management of any of the companies and ceased being a principal shareholder. Other than being a minority shareholder of certain of the companies, Mr. Halter is not affiliated with, and does not control, any of the companies.

13


In addition to the companies listed below, Mr. Halter is an officer, director, and shareholder of several private companies, including some of the SMS Companies entities discussed in “Item 1. Description of Business – Plan of Reorganization.”

It is specifically noted that the relative success or failure of any of the entities referenced below subsequent to Mr. Halter’s affiliation should not be deemed an indication of the possibility of our success or failure upon the completion of our current plan of operations.

ITEM 6. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Officers

No officer or director has received any compensation from us. Until we consummate a business combination, it is not anticipated that any officer or director will receive compensation from us.   

We have no stock option, retirement, pension, or profit-sharing programs for the benefit of directors, officers or other employees. 
  
               Our board of directors appoints our executive officers to serve at the discretion of the board. Timothy P. Halter is our sole officer and director. Our directors receive no compensation from us for serving on the board. Until we consummate a business combination, we do not intend to reimburse our officers or directors for travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending the board meetings or for conducting business activities.

Executive Compensation

Timothy P. Halter has received no compensation from us nor have we accrued any cash or non-cash compensation for his services since he was elected as an officer and director. He will not receive any compensation from us for his services as our sole officer and director until after we complete a business combination.

We do not have any employment or consulting agreements with any parties nor do we have a stock option plan or other equity compensation plans.

ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Other than the participation of HFG and Timothy P. Halter in our plan of reorganization and the issuance to HFG of 415,960 shares of our common stock for satisfaction of certain administrative claims and for HFG’s agreement to provide us with certain services as discussed in “Item 1- Description of Business”, there are no relationships or transactions between us and any of our directors, officers and principal stockholders.

ITEM 8. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Other than being subject to the provisions of the Plan and confirmation order, we are not a party to any legal proceedings.

ITEM 9. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information

 

18

 

There is no public trading market for our securities. We will seek to make our shares eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. However, the Plan provides that no active trading market shall exist for our securities until after the consummation of a business combination. No assurance can be given that an active market will exist after we complete a business combination. The Plan further provides that our stockholders are enjoined from trading, selling or assigning their Plan Shares until we consummate a transaction. HFG, however, may transfer in a private transaction, a portion of its shares of our common stock prior to the consummation of a business combination to a single transferee or group of transferees under common control and to HFG employees and representatives, subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Any such transferee shall be subject to the same restrictions as applicable to HFG under the Plan.

Effective September 9, 2009, HFG transferred 415,960 Plan Shares to its affiliate, HFI.     

We have no equity compensation or other types of employee benefit plans.

Transfer Agent

We have engaged Securities Transfer Corporation, 2591 Dallas Parkway, Suite 102, Frisco, Texas 75034 (telephone number 469.633.0100) as our transfer agent. The Plan Shares have been issued and are being held by the transfer agent until a business combination is consummated.

Reports to Stockholders

We plan to furnish our stockholders with an annual report for each fiscal year ending December 31 containing financial statements audited by our independent registered public accounting firm. In the event we enter into a business combination with another company, we anticipate that management will continue furnishing annual reports to stockholders. Additionally, we may, in our sole discretion, issue unaudited quarterly or other interim reports to our stockholders when we deem appropriate. Upon effectiveness of this registration statement, we intend to maintain compliance with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

Holders. As of February 15, 2010, there were a total of 500,005 shares of our common stock outstanding, held by approximately 482 stockholders of record.

Dividends. We have not declared any dividends on our common stock since inception and do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Securities Eligible for Future Sale

We relied, based on the confirmation order we received from the Bankruptcy Court, on Section 1145(a) (1) of the Bankruptcy Code to exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, both the offer of the Plan Shares which may have been deemed to have occurred through the solicitation of acceptances of the plan of reorganization and the issuance of the Plan Shares pursuant to the plan of reorganization. In general, offers and sale of securities made in reliance on the exemption afforded under Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code are deemed to be made in a public offering, so that the recipients thereof, are free to resell such securities without registration under the Securities Act.

We currently do not have any outstanding restricted securities as defined in Rule 144. We do not intend to issue any securities prior to consummating a business transaction. The securities we issue in a merger transaction will most likely be restricted securities. Since we are a blank check or shell company, we believe the resale of restricted securities we issue in a merger transaction will be subject to the restrictions as stated below.

    Rule 144

On February 15, 2008 amendments to Rule 144 became effective and will apply to securities acquired both before and after that date. Under these amendments, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding a sale, (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale and (iii) if the sale occurs prior to satisfaction of a one-year holding period, we provide current information at the time of sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:

19


        1% of the total number of securities of the same class then outstanding; or    
 
       

the average weekly trading volume of such securities during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale;

   


provided, in each case, which we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale.

Such sales by affiliates must also comply with the manner of sale, current public information and notice provisions of Rule 144.

     Restrictions on the Reliance of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies 

Historically, the SEC staff has taken the position that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by companies that are, or previously were, blank check companies, like us. The SEC has codified and expanded this position in the amendments discussed above by prohibiting the use of Rule 144 for resale of securities issued by any shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company. The SEC has provided an important exception to this prohibition, however, if the following conditions are met:

        The issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;    
 
        The issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;    
 
       

The issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K; and

   
 
       

At least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current comprehensive disclosure with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

   


As a result, it is likely that pursuant to Rule 144, stockholders who receive our restricted securities in a business combination will not be able to sell our shares without registration until one year after we have completed our initial business combination.

    Rule 145

In the business combination context, Rule 145 has imposed on affiliates of either the acquiror or the target company restrictions on public resales of securities received in a business combination, even where the securities to be issued in the business combination were registered under the Securities Act. These restrictions were designed to prevent the rapid distribution of securities into the public markets after a registered business combination by those who were in a position to influence the business combination transaction. The recent adopted amendments to Rule 145 eliminate these restrictions in most circumstances.

Under the new amendments, affiliates of a target company who receive registered shares in a Rule 145 business combination transaction, and who do not become affiliates of the acquiror, will be able to immediately resell the securities received by them into the public markets without registration (except for affiliates of a shell company as discussed in the following section). However, those persons who are affiliates of the acquiror, and those who become affiliates of the acquiror after the acquisition, will still be subject to the Rule 144 resale conditions generally applicable to affiliates, including the adequate current public information requirement, volume limitations, manner-of-sale requirements for equity securities, and, if applicable, a Form 144 filing.

    Application of Rule 145 to Shell Companies

Public resales of securities acquired by affiliates of acquirers and target companies in business combination transactions involving shell companies will continue to be subject to restrictions imposed by Rule 145. If the business combination transaction is not registered under the Securities Act, then the affiliates must look to Rule 144 to resell their securities (with the additional Rule 144 conditions applicable to shell company securities). If the business combination transaction is registered under the Securities Act, then affiliates of the acquirer and target company may resell the securities acquired in the transaction, subject to the following conditions:

20

        The issuer must meet all of the conditions applicable to shell companies under Rule 144;    
 
       

After 90 days from the date of the acquisition, the affiliates may resell their securities subject to Rule 144’s volume limitations, adequate current public information requirement, and manner-of-sale requirements;

   
 
       

After six months from the date of the acquisition, selling security-holders who are not affiliates of the acquirer may resell their securities subject only to the adequate current public information requirement of Rule 144; and

   
 
       

After one year from the date of the acquisition, selling security-holders who are not affiliates or the acquirer may resell their securities without restriction.

   



ITEM 10. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

Pursuant to the plan of reorganization, we issued an aggregate of 500,005 shares of our common stock to 482 of our holders of unsecured debt and administrative claims. Such shares were issued in accordance with Section 1145 under the United States Bankruptcy Code and the transaction was thus exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

Capital Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100 million shares of common stock and 10 million shares of preferred stock. Each share of common stock entitles a stockholder to one vote on all matters upon which stockholders are permitted to vote. No stockholder has any preemptive right or other similar right to purchase or subscribe for any additional securities issued by us, and no stockholder has any right to convert the common stock into other securities. No shares of common stock are subject to redemption or any sinking fund provisions. All the outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Subject to the rights of the holders of the preferred stock, if any, our stockholders of common stock are entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by our board from funds legally available therefore and, upon liquidation, to a pro-rata share in any distribution to stockholders. We do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, our board has the authority, without further stockholder approval, to provide for the issuance of up to 10 million shares of our preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, rights in terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation of such series. Our board has the power to afford preferences, powers and rights (including voting rights) to the holders of any preferred stock preferences, such rights and preferences being senior to the rights of holders of common stock. No shares of our preferred stock are currently outstanding. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock, the issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company.

Provisions Having A Possible Anti-Takeover Effect

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board and in the policies formulated by our board and to discourage certain types of transactions which may involve an actual or threatened change of our control. Our board is authorized to adopt, alter, amend and repeal our Bylaws or to adopt new Bylaws. In addition, our board has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 10 million shares of our preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. The issuance of our preferred stock or additional shares of common stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control.

ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Under Sections 78.751 and 78.752 of the Nevada Revised Statues, the registrant has broad powers to indemnify and insure its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in their capacities as such. The registrant’s Bylaws implement the indemnification and insurance provisions permitted by Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes by providing that:

       

The registrant must indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and may, if and to the extent authorized by the registrant’s board of directors, so indemnify its officers and any other person whom it has power to indemnify against liability, reasonable expense or other matter whatsoever.

   
 
       

The registrant may at the discretion of its board of directors purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the registrant and any person whom it has power to indemnify pursuant to law, its articles of incorporation, its bylaws or otherwise.

   



These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the registrant’s directors and officers for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act. 

Our Articles of Incorporation provides that none of our directors or officers shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer provided, however, that the foregoing provisions shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law, or the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Limitations on liability provided for in our Articles of Incorporation do not restrict the availability of non-monetary remedies and do not affect a director’s responsibility under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
 
               We believe that these provisions will assist us in attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as executive officers and directors. The inclusion of these provisions in our Articles of Incorporation may have the effect of reducing a likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited us or our stockholders.
 
               Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors to the fullest extent provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and we may, if and to the extent authorized by our board of directors, so indemnify our officers and other persons whom we have the power to indemnify against liability, reasonable expense or other matters.
 
               Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other that the payment by SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp., of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp, in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

LETTERHEAD OF S. W. HATFIELD, CPA

REPORT OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp.
 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp. (a Nevada corporation and a development stage company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the period from August 1, 2007 (date of bankruptcy settlement) through December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the sole responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the period from August 1, 2007 (date of bankruptcy settlement) through December 31, 2009, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note D to the financial statements, the Company has no viable operations or significant assets and is dependent upon significant stockholders to provide sufficient working capital to maintain the integrity of the corporate entity. These circumstances create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and are discussed in Note D. The financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008

Note A - Background and Description of Business
 

SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp. (Company) was organized on September 9, 2009 as a Nevada corporation to effect the reincorporation of Senior Management Services of Crane, Inc. (Predecessor Company), a Texas corporation, mandated by the plan of reorganization discussed below. 

The Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code on August 1, 2007, which was effective on August 10, 2007, created the combination of a change in majority ownership and voting control - that is, loss of control by the then-existing stockholders, a court-approved reorganization, and a reliable measure of the entity’s fair value - resulting in a fresh start, creating, in substance, a new reporting entity. Accordingly, the Company, post bankruptcy, has no significant assets, liabilities or operating activities. Therefore, the Company, as a new reporting entity, qualifies as a “development stage enterprise” as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 7, as amended and a shell company as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), and Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). 

In accordance with the confirmed plan of reorganization, our current business plan is to seek to identify a privately-held operating company desiring to become a publicly held company by merging with the Company through a reverse merger or acquisition. 

Note B - Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code 

On January 17, 2007, Senior Management Services of Crane, Inc. and its affiliated companies (SMS Companies or Debtors) filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. During the three years prior to filing the reorganization petition, SMS Companies operated a chain of skilled nursing homes in Texas, which prior to the bankruptcy proceedings consisted of a total of 14 separate nursing facilities, ranging in size from approximately 114 beds to 325 beds. In the aggregate, SMS Companies provided care to approximately 1,600 resident patients and employed over 1,400 employees. A significant portion of the SMS Companies cash flow was provided by patients covered by Medicare and Medicaid. The SMS Companies facilities provided round-the-clock care for the health, well-being, safety and medical needs of its patients. The administrative and operational oversight of the nursing facilities was provided by an affiliated management company located in Arlington, Texas. In 2005, SMS Companies obtained a secured credit facility from a financial institution. The credit facility eventually was comprised of an $8.3 million term loan and a revolving loan of up to $15 million which was utilized for working capital and to finance the purchase of the real property on which 2 of its nursing care facilities operated. By late 2006, SMS Companies were in an "overadvance" position, whereby the amount of funds extended by the lender exceeded the amount of collateral eligible to be borrowed under the credit facility. Beginning in September 2006, SMS Companies entered into the first of a series of forbearance agreements whereby the lender agreed to forebear from declaring the financing in default provided SMS Companies obtained a commitment from a new lender to refinance and restructure the credit facility. SMS Companies were unsuccessful in obtaining a commitment from a new lender and, on January 5, 2007, the lender declared SMS Companies in default and commenced foreclosure and collection proceedings. On January 9, 2007, the lender agreed to provide an additional $1.7 million to fund payroll and permit a controlled transaction to bankruptcy. Subsequently, on January 17, 2007, the SMS Companies filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the Debtors in existence prior to the filing of the petitions for relief under Federal Bankruptcy Laws are stayed while the Debtors continue to operate their businesses as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. These claims were reflected in the Predecessor Company’s balance sheets as “Liabilities Subject to Compromise” through the settlement date. Additional claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise subsequent to the petition date resulting from the rejection of executory contracts, including leases, and from the determination of the court (or agreed to by parties in interest) of allowed claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts.

Note B - Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code - Continued
 

The First Amended, Modified Chapter 11 Plan, (the Plan) as presented by SMS Companies and their creditors was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas - Dallas Division on August 1, 2007. The Plan, which contemplates the Company entering into a reverse merger transaction, provided that certain identified claimants as well as unsecured creditors, in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Plan of Reorganization, and the Company’s new controlling stockholder would receive “new” shares of the Company’s post-reorganization common stock, pursuant to Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the Plan’s approval, all liens, security interests, encumbrances and other interests, as defined in the Plan of Reorganization, attach to the creditor’s trust. Specific injunctions prohibit any of these claims from being asserted against the Company prior to the contemplated reverse merger. 

All assets, liabilities and other claims, including “Allowed Administrative Claims” which arise in the processing of the bankruptcy proceedings, against the Company and it’s affiliated entities were combined into a single creditor’s trust for the purpose of distribution of funds to creditors. Each of the individual SMS Companies entities otherwise remained separate corporate entities. From the commencement of the bankruptcy proceedings through August 1, 2007 (the confirmation date of the plan of reorganization), all secured claims and/or administrative claims during this period were satisfied through either direct payment or negotiation. 

The bankruptcy court has no continuing jurisdiction over the Company other than the acceptance by the court of a certificate of completion of the reverse merger or acquisition when consummated which is to be filed with the court in accordance with the procedures provided in the confirmation order. Pursuant to the confirmation order, if we do not consummate a business combination prior to November 10, 2010, as mandated in the Plan of Reorganization, the Plan Shares will be deemed canceled, the pre-merger or acquisition injunction provisions of the confirmation order, as they pertain to the Company, shall be deemed dissolved and no discharge will be granted to the Company, all without further order of the bankruptcy court. If we timely consummate a merger or acquisition with an entity which is engaged in business, we will file a certificate of compliance with the bankruptcy court which will state that the requirements of the Plan have been met, resulting in the discharge to be deemed granted. Thereafter, the post discharge injunction provisions set forth in the Plan and the confirmation order shall then become effective. 

The Company’s Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on August 1, 2007 and became effective on August 10, 2007. It was determined that SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp’s reorganization value computed immediately before August 1, 2007, the confirmation date of the Plan of Reorganization, was approximately $1,000, which consisted of the following:

Current assets to be transferred to the post-confirmation entity     $ 1,000  
       Fair market value of property and equipment       --  
       Deposits with vendors and other assets transferred  
         to the post-confirmation entity       --  
 
         Reorganization value     $ 1,000  


Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, all of the operations of the Company were transferred to a combined creditor’s trust and, as approved by the Bankruptcy Court, a completely new entity was formed for purposes of completing the aforementioned reverse merger transaction. The Company adopted fresh-start reporting because the holders of existing voting shares immediately before filing and confirmation of the Plan received less than 50.0% of the voting shares of the emerging entity and its reorganization value is not greater than its postpetition liabilities and allowed claims, as shown below:

Postpetition current liabilities     $ --  
       Liabilities deferred pursuant to Chapter 11 proceeding       --  
       “New” common stock issued upon reorganization       1,000  
 
         Total postpetition liabilities and allowed claims       1,000  
         Reorganization value       (1,000 )
 
         Excess of liabilities over reorganization value     $ --

Note B - Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code - Continued
 

The reorganization value of SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp. was determined in consideration of several factors and by reliance on various valuation methods, including discounting cash flow and price/earnings and other applicable ratios. The factors considered by SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp. included the following:

        Forecasted operating and cash flows results which gave effect to the estimated impact of     
        -     Corporate restructuring and other operating program changes  
        -    

Limitations on the use of available net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes resulting from the Plan of Reorganization and other events  

        The discounted residual value at the end of the forecast period based on capitalized cash flows for the last year of that period.  
        Market share and position  
        Competition and general economic conditions  
        Projected sales growth  
        Potential profitability  
        Seasonality and working capital requirements  



After consideration of SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp.’s debt capacity and other capital structure considerations, such as industry norms, projected earnings to fixed charges, projected earnings before interest and projected free cash flow to debt service and other applicable ratios, management determined that SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp.’s reorganization capital structure should be as follows:

Common Stock (500,005 “new” shares to be issued at $0.001 par value)     $ 500  
     Additional paid-in capital       500  
 
       Total reorganized capital structure     $

1,000

 



As previously discussed, the cancellation of all existing shares outstanding at the date of the bankruptcy filing and the issuance of all “new” shares of the reorganized entity caused an issuance of shares of common stock and a related change of control of the Company with more than 50.0% of the “new” shares being held by persons and/or entities which were not pre-bankruptcy stockholders. Accordingly, per the Reorganization topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Reorganization topic), the Company adopted “fresh-start” accounting as of the bankruptcy discharge date whereby all continuing assets and liabilities of the Company were restated to the fair market value. The Reorganization topic further states that fresh start financial statements prepared by entities emerging from bankruptcy will not be comparable with those prepared before their plans were confirmed because they are, in fact, those of a new entity. For accounting purposes, the Company adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with the Reorganization topic as of August 1, 2007, the confirmation date of the Plan. The following accounting entries and condensed balance sheet illustrate the financial effect of implementing the Company’s Plan and the adoption of fresh start reporting as of the approval of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court on August 1, 2007.

Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

Note C - Preparation of Financial Statements
 

All financial information prior to August 1, 2007 is presented as pertaining to the Predecessor Company while all financial information presented as of and after August 1, 2007 is presented as pertaining to the Reorganized Company. Accordingly, the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and Statement of Cash Flows present information pertaining to both the Predecessor Company and Reorganized Company. The information presented in the Balance Sheet pertains only to the Reorganized Company at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. 

As stated in the Reorganization topic, fresh start financial statements prepared by entities emerging from bankruptcy will not be comparable with those prepared before their plans were confirmed because they are, in fact, those of a new entity.  

The Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and has established a year-end for accounting purposes of December 31. 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented. 

Note D - Going Concern Uncertainty
 
The Company has no post-bankruptcy operating history, no cash on hand, no assets and has a business plan with inherent risk. Because of these factors, the Company’s auditors have issued an audit opinion on the Company’s financial statements which includes a statement describing our going concern status. This means, in the auditor’s opinion, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern exists at the date of their opinion.
 
The Company’s majority stockholder currently maintains the corporate status of the Company and has provided all nominal working capital support on the Company's behalf since the bankruptcy discharge date. Because of the Company's lack of operating assets, its continuance is fully dependent upon the majority stockholder's continuing support. The majority stockholder intends to continue the funding of nominal necessary expenses to sustain the corporate entity. However, the Company is at the mercy of future economic trends and business operations for the Company’s majority stockholder to have the resources available to support the Company. Should this pledge fail to provide financing, the Company has not identified any alternative sources of working capital to support the Company.
 
The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to support its daily operations as well as provide sufficient resources to retire existing liabilities and obligations on a timely basis. Further, the Company faces considerable risk in it’s business plan and a potential shortfall of funding due to our inability to raise capital in the equity securities market. If no additional operating capital is received during the next twelve months, the Company will be forced to rely on existing cash in the bank and additional funds loaned by management and/or significant stockholders.

(a development stage company)

Notes to Financial Statements - Continued
December 31, 2009 and 2008

Note D - Going Concern Uncertainty - Continued
 

The Company’s business plan is to seek an acquisition or merger with a private operating company which offers an opportunity for growth and possible appreciation of our stockholders’ investment in the then issued and outstanding common stock. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate an acquisition or merger with a private operating company or, if successful, that any acquisition or merger will result in the appreciation of our stockholders’ investment in the then outstanding common stock. 

The Company remains dependent upon additional external sources of financing; including being dependent upon its management and/or significant stockholders to provide sufficient working capital in excess of the Company’s initial capitalization to preserve the integrity of the corporate entity. 

The Company anticipates offering future sales of equity securities. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding through the sales of additional equity securities or, that such funding, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company. 

The Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 100,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company’s ability to issue preferred stock may limit the Company’s ability to obtain debt or equity financing as well as impede potential takeover of the Company, which takeover may be in the best interest of stockholders. The Company’s ability to issue these authorized but unissued securities may also negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our debt or equity securities. 

It is the intent of management and significant stockholders to provide sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate entity. However, no formal commitments or arrangements to advance or loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans exist. There is no legal obligation for either management or significant stockholders to provide additional future funding. 

In such a restricted cash flow scenario, the Company would be unable to complete its business plan steps, and would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities. Without necessary cash flow, the Company may become dormant during the next twelve months, or until such time as necessary funds could be raised in the equity securities market. 

While the Company is of the opinion that good faith estimates of the Company’s ability to secure additional capital in the future to reach its goals have been made, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive sufficient funding to sustain operations or implement any future business plan steps. 

Note E - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 

1.     Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.

2.     Reorganization costs

The Company has adopted the provisions of provisions required by the Start-Up Activities topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification whereby all costs incurred with the incorporation and reorganization of the Company were charged to operations as incurred.

3.     Income taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the United States of America and various states, as appropriate and applicable. As a result of the Company’s bankruptcy action, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, as applicable, income tax examinations by regulatory taxing authorities for any period prior to August 1, 2007. The Company does not anticipate any examinations of returns filed for periods ending after August 1, 2007.

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability accounts, as recorded when material to the financial statements, are entirely the result of temporary differences. Temporary differences generally represent differences in the recognition of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes, primarily accumulated depreciation and amortization, allowance for doubtful accounts and vacation accruals.

The Company has adopted the provisions required by the Income Taxes topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Codification Topic requires the recognition of potential liabilities as a result of management’s acceptance of potentially uncertain positions for income tax treatment on a “more-likely-than-not” probability of an assessment upon examination by a respective taxing authority. As a result of the implementation of Codification’s Income Tax Topic, the Company did not incur any liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

4.     Income (Loss) per share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the respective period presented in our accompanying financial statements.

Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and warrants).

Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company’s net income (loss) position at the calculation date.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and subsequent thereto, the Company had no outstanding stock warrants, options or convertible securities which could be considered as dilutive for purposes of the loss per share calculation.

Note F - Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current market conditions. 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company’s earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest rates on either investments or on debt and is fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to interest rate risk, if any. 

Financial risk is the risk that the Company’s earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest rates or foreign exchange rates and are fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to financial risk, if any.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $9,900 to offset future taxable income. The amount and availability of any net operating loss carryforwards will be subject to the limitations set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Such factors as the number of shares ultimately issued within a three year look-back period; whether there is a deemed more than 50 percent change in control; the applicable long-term tax exempt bond rate; continuity of historical business; and subsequent income of the Company all enter into the annual computation of allowable annual utilization of any net operating loss carryforward(s).

Re:     SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp.    
    Registration Statement on Form 10    
    Filed January 12, 2010    
    File No. 0-53800    


Dear Mr. Owings:
 
This letter is in response to the comments in the Staff’s letter (the “Comment Letter”) dated February 2, 2010 regarding the above filing of SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp. Registration Statement on Form 10. The following responses to the Staff’s Comment Letter are made on behalf of SMSA Crane Corp., (the “Company” or “SMSA Crane”). We have filed Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form 10 on February 22, 2010 (“Amended Form 10”) which reflects the revisions to the disclosure in the Amended Form 10 in response to the Comment Letter. We also updated the Company’s financial statements to include balance sheets at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period from August 1, 2007 (date of bankruptcy settlement) through December 31, 2009. We have restated each Staff comment (in bold) and then provided our response to the Comment. The Company supplementally advises the Staff as follows:

We have reviewed SEC Release No. 33-9089 regarding the adoption of a final rule for Proxy Disclosure Enhancements which will be effective on February 28, 2010. Since we are a shell and smaller reporting company with no operations, nominal assets, no stock or option or compensation plans, and we do not pay our sole officer any compensation and have a Board of Directors with only one member, many of the requirements of this rule are not currently applicable to us. However, we have added disclosure in the third paragraph on page 13, beginning with the sentence “Mr. Halter has significant experience....” which we believe adequately meets the disclosure requirements of this rule as they currently apply to us.

 


 

Registration Statement on Form 10

General

 

1.    

Please be advised that pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 your registration statement will become effective sixty days after the date of your filing. Please note that because the sixtieth day is Saturday, March 13, 2010, your filing will not go effective until the following business day, which is Monday, March 15, 2010. Upon effectiveness, you will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, regardless of whether we have cleared all comments on your filing. If you do not wish to incur those obligations until all of the following comments are addressed, you may withdraw your registration statement and submit a new registration statement incorporating your revisions.

   


Response: We acknowledge that the SMSA Crane’s Registration Statement on Form 10 will become effective on March 15, 2010.

Item 1. Description of Business, page 4

Plan of Reorganization, page 4

 

2.    

Please revise your table beginning on page five to include SMSA Gainesville Acquisition Corp. and delete your duplicate entry for SMSA Crane Acquisition Corp. and make similar revisions throughout your document, as applicable, or tell us why it is not appropriate to do so.

   

 

Response: We have made the requested correction in the table on page 5.

Financial Statements, page F-1

Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, page F-4

 

3.    

We note the Predecessor Company had income from discontinued operations of $376,927 for the period through July 31, 2007. Please revise your earnings per share from discontinued operations to reflect income as opposed to your current presentation which shows a loss of ($376.93) per share.

   


Response: Since the Company’s financial statements have been updated to include the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the financial disclosure in the Company’s Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the periods from January 1, 2007 through July 31, 2007 and from August 1, 2007 (date of bankruptcy settlement) through December 31, 2007 has been eliminated, which included financial disclosure regarding discontinued operations.


SMSA Crane acknowledges that:

        the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;    
 
        Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and    
 
       

the Company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

   


If you have any questions or further comments, please contact our counsel, Richard Goodner, at telephone number 214-587-0653 or fax 817-488-2453.
