Ardent Acquisition
Corporation
(a corporation in the development stage)

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

1.     Basis
of Presentation

The financial
statements at June 30, 2005 and for the periods ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2005 and the results of
its operations and its cash flow for the periods ended June 30, 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 Operations

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

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 $32,205,000 (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 $36,569,000 at June
30, 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
conversion in the accompanying June 30, 2005 balance sheet and 19.99% of the
related interest earned on the Treasury Bill has been recorded as deferred
interest.

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

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 June 30,
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 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 June 30, 2005, we had a net profit of $106,180,
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 June 30, 2005, we had
    a net profit of $113,239, 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
June 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.

PART II.

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.
