                                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION           The financial statements at March 31, 2005
                                   and for the periods ended March 31, 2005 are
                                   unaudited. In the opinion of management, all
                                   adjustments (consisting of normal accruals)
                                   have been made that are necessary to present
                                   fairly the financial position of Ardent
                                   Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") as of
                                   March 31, 2005 and the results of its
                                   operations and its cash flow for the period
                                   from January 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005.
                                   Operating results for the interim period
                                   presented are not necessarily indicative of
                                   the results to be expected for a full year.

                                   The statements and related notes have been
                                   prepared pursuant to the rules and
                                   regulations of the U.S. Securities and
                                   Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain
                                   information and footnote disclosures normally
                                   included in financial statements prepared in
                                   accordance with generally accepted accounting
                                   principles have been omitted pursuant to such
                                   rules and regulations. These financial
                                   statements should be read in conjunction with
                                   the financial statements that were included
                                   in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
                                   for the period ended December 31, 2004.

2. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS       The Company was incorporated in September 14,
                                   2004 as a blank check company OPERATIONS
                                   whose objective is to acquire an operating
                                   business.

                                   All activity from September 14, 2004
                                   (inception) through March 31, 2005 relates to
                                   the Company's formation and initial public
                                   offering described below.

                                   The registration statement for the Company's
                                   initial public offering ("Offering") was
                                   declared effective February 24, 2005. The
                                   Company consummated the offering on March 2,
                                   2005 and received net proceeds of
                                   approximately $32,203,535 (Note 3). On March
                                   3, 2005, the Company consummated the closing
                                   of the over-allotment option and the Company
                                   received net proceeds of approximately
                                   $5,022,000 (Note 3). The Company's management
                                   has broad discretion with respect to the
                                   specific application of the net proceeds of
                                   this Offering, although substantially all of
                                   the net proceeds of this Offering are
                                   intended to be generally applied toward
                                   consummating a business combination with an
                                   operating business ("Business Combination").
                                   An amount of approximately $36,222,000 of the
                                   net proceeds is being held in an
                                   interest-bearing trust account ("Trust Fund")
                                   until the earlier of (i) the consummation of
                                   a Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of
                                   the Company. Under the agreement governing
                                   the Trust Fund, funds will only be invested
                                   in United States government securities
                                   (Treasury Bills) with a maturity of 180 days
                                   or less. This amount has been invested in
                                   Treasury Bills. The Treasury Bills have been

                                   accounted for as trading securities, which
                                   are recorded at their market value of
                                   approximately $36,296,000 at March 31, 2005.
                                   The excess of market value over cost,
                                   exclusive of the deferred interest described
                                   further below, is included in interest income
                                   in the accompanying statements of operations.
                                   The remaining net proceeds (not held in the
                                   Trust Fund) may be used to pay for business,
                                   legal and accounting due diligence on
                                   prospective acquisitions and continuing
                                   general and administrative expenses.

                                   The Company, after signing a definitive
                                   agreement for the acquisition of a target
                                   business, will submit such transaction for
                                   stockholder approval. In the event that
                                   stockholders owning 20% or more of the shares
                                   sold in the Offering vote against the
                                   Business Combination and exercise their
                                   conversion rights described below, the
                                   Business Combination will not be consummated.
                                   All of the Company's stockholders prior to
                                   the Offering, including all of the officers
                                   and directors of the Company ("Initial
                                   Stockholders"), have agreed to vote their
                                   1,500,000 founding shares of common stock in
                                   accordance with the vote of the majority in
                                   interest of all other stockholders of the
                                   Company ("Public Stockholders") with respect
                                   to any Business Combination. After
                                   consummation of a Business Combination, these
                                   voting safeguards will no longer be
                                   applicable.

                                   With respect to a Business Combination which
                                   is approved and consummated, any Public
                                   Stockholder who voted against the Business
                                   Combination may demand that the Company
                                   convert his or her shares. The per share
                                   conversion price will equal the amount in the
                                   Trust Fund as of two days prior to the
                                   consummation of the proposed Business
                                   Combination divided by the number of shares
                                   of common stock held by Public Stockholders
                                   at the consummation of the Offering.
                                   Accordingly, Public Stockholders holding
                                   19.99% of the aggregate number of shares
                                   owned by all Public Stockholders may seek
                                   conversion of their shares in the event of a
                                   Business Combination. Such Public
                                   Stockholders are entitled to receive their
                                   per share interest in the Trust Fund computed
                                   without regard to the shares held by Initial
                                   Stockholders. Accordingly, a portion of the
                                   net proceeds from the offering (19.99% of the
                                   amount originally held in the Trust Fund) has
                                   been classified as common stock subject to
                                   possible redemption in the accompanying March
                                   31, 2005 balance sheet and 19.99% of the
                                   related interest earned on the Treasury Bill
                                   has been recorded as deferred interest.

                                   provides for mandatory liquidation of the
                                   Company in the event that the Company does
                                   not consummate a Business Combination within
                                   18 months from the date of the consummation

                                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   consummation of the Offering if certain
                                   extension criteria have been satisfied. In
                                   the event of liquidation, it is likely that
                                   the per share value of the residual assets
                                   remaining available for distribution
                                   (including Trust Fund assets) will be less
                                   than the initial public offering price per
                                   share in the Offering (assuming no value is
                                   attributed to the Warrants contained in the
                                   Units sold in the Offering discussed in Note
                                   3).

3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING         On March 2, 2005, the Company sold 6,000,000
                                   units ("Units") in the Offering. On March 3,
                                   2005, the Company sold an additional 900,000
                                   Units pursuant to the underwriters'
                                   over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of
                                   one share of the Company's common stock,
                                   $.0001 par value, and two Redeemable Common
                                   Stock Purchase Warrants ("Warrants"). Each
                                   Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase
                                   from the Company one share of common stock at
                                   an exercise price of $5.00 commencing the
                                   later of the completion of a Business
                                   Combination with a target business or one
                                   year from the effective date of the Offering
                                   and expiring five years from the date of the
                                   prospectus. The Warrants will be redeemable
                                   at a price of $.01 per Warrant upon 30 days'
                                   notice after the Warrants become exercisable,
                                   only in the event that the last sale price of
                                   the common stock is at least $8.50 per share
                                   for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading
                                   day period ending on the third day prior to
                                   the date on which notice of redemption is
                                   given. In connection with this Offering, the
                                   Company issued, for $100, an option to the
                                   representative of the underwriters to
                                   purchase 300,000 Units at an exercise price
                                   of $9.90 per Unit. In addition, the warrants
                                   underlying such Units are exercisable at
                                   $6.25 per share.

4. COMMON STOCK                    On January 4, 2005, the Company's Board of
                                   Directors authorized a stock dividend of
                                   0.666666 shares of common stock for each
                                   outstanding share of common stock and on
                                   January 24, 2005, the Company's Board of
                                   Directors authorized a further stock dividend
                                   of 0.2 shares of common stock for each
                                   outstanding share of common stock. All
                                   references in the accompanying financial
                                   statements to the numbers of shares have been
                                   retroactively restated to reflect these
                                   transactions.

                                   As of March 31, 2005, 14,700,000 shares of
                                   common stock were reserved for issuance upon
                                   exercise of redeemable warrants and
                                   underwriters' unit purchase option.

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

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

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

         The statements discussed in this Report include forward looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including the timely delivery
and acceptance of the Company's products and the other risks detailed from time
to time in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

         We were formed on September 14, 2004, to serve as a vehicle to effect a
merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business
combination with an operating business. We intend to utilize cash derived from
the proceeds of our recently completed public offering, our capital stock, debt
or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, in effecting a business
combination.

         For the three months ended March 31, 2005, we had a net profit of
$8,710, attributable to interest income and unrealized gains on Trust assets
offset primarily by routine operational expenses such as rent, insurance, and
professional fees.

         For the period from September 14, 2004 (inception) through March 31,
2005, we had a net profit of $7,059, attributable to interest income and
unrealized gains on Trust assets offset primarily by  routine operational
expenses such as rent, insurance, and professional fees.


         We consummated our initial public offering on March 2, 2005. On March
4, 2005, we closed on an additional 900,000 units that were subject to the
underwriters' over-allotment option. Gross proceeds from our initial public
offering were $41,400,000. We paid a total of $2,898,000 in underwriting
discounts and commissions, and approximately $1,277,000 was or will be paid for
costs and expenses related to the offering, including $720,000 for the
underwriters' non-accountable expense allowance of 2% of the gross proceeds.
After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering
expenses, the total net proceeds to us from the offering were approximately
$37,225,000, of which $36,222,000 was deposited into the trust account (or $5.25
per share sold in the offering). The remaining proceeds are available to be used
by us to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective
acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. We will use
substantially all of the net proceeds of this offering to acquire a target
business, including identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition
candidates, selecting the target business, and structuring, negotiating and
consummating the business combination. To the extent that our capital stock is
used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the
proceeds held in the trust fund as well as any other net proceeds not expended
will be used to finance the operations of the target business. We believe we
will have sufficient available funds outside of the trust fund to operate
through March 2, 2007, assuming that a business combination is not consummated
during that time. From March 2, 2005 through March 2, 2007, we anticipate
approximately $180,000 for the administrative fee payable to American Fund
Advisors ($7,500 per month for two years), $150,000 of expenses for legal,
accounting and other expenses attendant to the due diligence investigations,
structuring and negotiating of a business combination, $50,000 of expenses for
the due diligence and investigation of a target business, $40,000 of expenses in
legal and accounting fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations and $550,000
for general working capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses and
reserves, including approximately $210,000 for director and officer liability
insurance premiums. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds
following this offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating
our business. However, we may need to raise additional funds through a private
offering of debt or equity securities if such funds are required to consummate a
business combination that is presented to us. We would only consummate such a
financing simultaneously with the consummation of a business combination.

         Commencing on February 24, 2005 and ending upon the acquisition of a
target business, we incur a

                                       10

fee from American Fund Advisors, an affiliate of Barry J. Gordon, our chairman
of the board and chief executive officer, Marc H. Klee, our president, chief
financial officer and secretary, and Alan J. Loewenstein, our vice president, of
$7,500 per month for providing us with office space and certain office and
secretarial services. In addition, in September 2004 and January 2005, Barry J.
Gordon advanced an aggregate of $77,500 to us for payment on our behalf of
offering expenses. These loans were repaid following our initial public offering
from the proceeds of the offering.

ITEM 3.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

         An evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of March 31, 2005 was made under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by
this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports
that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. During the most recently
completed fiscal quarter, there has been no significant change in our internal
control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2: CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND SMALL BUSINESS ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY
SECURITIES

         On March 2, 2005, we consummated our initial public offering of
6,000,000 Units, with each unit consisting of one share of our common stock and
two warrants, each to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise
price of $5.00 per share. On March 4, 2005, we closed on an additional 900,000
units that were subject to the underwriters' over-allotment option. The units
were sold at an offering price of $6.00 per unit, generating total gross
proceeds of $41,400,000. The managing underwriter in the offering was
EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. The securities sold in the offering were registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No.
333-121028). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration
statement effective on February 17, 2005.

         We paid a total of $2,898,000 in underwriting discounts and
commissions, and approximately $1,277,000 has been or will be paid for costs and
expenses related to the offering, including $720,000 for the underwriters'
non-accountable expense allowance of 2% of the gross proceeds.

         After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the
offering expenses, the total net proceeds to us from the offering were
approximately $37,225,000, of which $36,222,000 was deposited into a trust fund
(or $5.25 per share sold in the offering) and the remaining proceeds are
available to be used to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence
on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative
expenses.
