Contract or not?

I have a power washing business, agreed to merge with a much larger company.
The contract says that upon the purchase of 30 percent of the shares we would merge. I paid for 25 percent of the shares. In the four months that I have worked with this other company, I have yet to see the financial reports. The communication is horrible, ie. voice message may never be returned, email might be two weeks, text when they feel like it.
Since I did not purchase 30 percent of the shares, I assume that I have not merged yet. I have made known my intent to separate and have asked for my money back. I have only been able to get an answer once, and that was, "sorry we don't have the money available."
My question is two parts: Since the contract states that UPON purchase of 30 percent of the share we will merge, and I have only bought 25 percent, common sense tells me we never merged. Legally would that be correct?
Secondly, what recourse would I have to recover the money I invested with this company? They do have equipment I would gladly take in exchange. They are a corporation would I be able to place a lien on their house? business? equipment?
Thanks for any help.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

What makes you think you're entitled to ANY return on your "investment"?
