| |  |  |  |  | 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 conversion in the accompanying September 30, 2005

| |  |  |  |  | The Companys Certificate of
        Incorporation 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 of the Offering, or 24 months
        from the 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                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

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 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 September 30, 2005, we had a net profit of $42,838, 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 September 30, 2005, we had a net profit of $156,077, 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 $37,227,000, 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 $585,000 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 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 September 30, 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.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2: UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

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 $1,275,000 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 (excluding the over-allotment option).

After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering expenses, the total net proceeds to us from the offering were approximately $37,227,000, 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.

For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our initial public offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-QSB.
