Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments. Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. General 1. We note that Article Six of the Certificate of Incorporation may be amended with the vote or written consent of holders of not less than 90% of the outstanding shares of your common stock. Please revise the prospectus to disclose that provision and explain the impact or potential impact on investors in the offering. Prospectus Summary, page 1 2. Please clarify in the disclosure on page five that compensation for officers and directors that remain with the combined business will likely be determined at the same time the business combination agreement is negotiated. Risk Factors, page 8 3. Please revise the subheading to risk factor 21, and elsewhere as appropriate, to clarify that the adverse effect on the market price by the exercise of your existing stockholders of their registration rights only occurs after the business combination. 4. We note the disclosure on page five that the company may determine that in connection with a particular business combination, it will not proceed if an even lesser percentage than 20% of the shares issued in this offering exercise their conversion rights. Please add a risk factor. 5. We note your supplemental response to prior comment six that "the Company does not believe that any of such companies with which an existing stockholder is affiliated is realistically a target business."

For instance, will they be considered in the initial search or only after other searches have not found a potential target business? We may have further comment. Use of Proceeds, page 19 6.
