Please revise the registration fee table in light of the changes to the offering. Prospectus Summary, page 1 3. In light of the fact that you will not be limited to a particular industry, please revise your Item 101 of Regulation S-K disclosure to discuss your intended search process in more detail since you are able to acquire companies outside of management`s expertise. Revise to clarify if there is a time frame or monetary amount used that will trigger your search of companies not in the initial industry focus. 4. We note that the procedures set forth in your certificate of incorporation may be amended by the vote or written consent of 100% of the common stock outstanding. Please revise the prospectus to clearly indicate this provision and explain the impact or potential impact on investors in this offering. Also, please explain the statement on page 6 that "we view the foregoing procedures, which are set forth in our certificate of incorporation, as obligations to our stockholders and neither we nor our board of directors will propose, or seek stockholder approval of any amendment of these procedures" in light of this provision and risk factor seven, which indicates that you can amend the provisions of the certificate of incorporation. We may have further comment. Risk Factors, page 10 5. Revise risk factor 19 to discuss the risk to the company and/or investors. 6. We partially reissue prior comment five from our letter dated January 30, 2006. Please explain those circumstances that may result in the company considering an affiliated business.
