Annual Report


Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto which are included in this annual report and the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Final Prospectus filed with the SEC on November 29, 2007 and our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 5, 2007.

We were formed on April 10, 2007, for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar Business Combination, an operating business in the education industry. Our initial Business Combination must be with a target business whose fair market value is at least equal to 80% of our net assets (excluding the deferred underwriting commission of the underwriters held in the Trust Account) at the time of such acquisition. We intend to use cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering and concurrent private placement, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, to effect such Business Combination.

Since our initial public offering, we have been actively searching for a suitable Business Combination candidate. We currently have not entered into any definitive agreement with any potential target businesses. We have met with service professionals and other intermediaries to discuss our company, the background of our management and our combination preferences. In the course of these discussions, we have also spent time explaining the capital structure of the initial public offering, the combination approval process and the timeline within which we must either enter into a letter of intent or definitive agreement for a Business Combination, or return the proceeds of the initial public offering held in the Trust Account to investors. Consistent with the disclosures in our prospectus, we have focused our search on companies in the education industry, which include but are not limited to early child care (pre-school programs and/or day care facilities for pre-school aged children), K-12 (kindergarten through twelfth grade), Post-secondary (a formal instructional program for students who have completed the requirements for a high school diploma or its equivalent, including programs whose purpose is academic, vocational and continuing professional education), and corporate training. We cannot assure investors that we will find a suitable Business Combination in the allotted time.

We are currently in the process of evaluating and identifying targets for an initial transaction. We are not presently engaged in, and will not engage in, any substantive commercial business until we consummate an initial transaction. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering, the private placement, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, capital stock and debt, in effecting an initial transaction. The issuance of additional shares of our capital stock:

· may significantly reduce the equity interest of our current stockholders;

· may subordinate the rights of holders of common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded to our common stock;

· will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and most likely also result in the resignation or removal of one or more of our present officers and directors; and

· may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities.

-31-

Similarly, if we issued debt securities, it could result in:

· default and foreclosure on our assets, if our operating revenues after an initial transaction were insufficient to pay our debt obligations;

· acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness, even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due, if the debt security contained covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and any such covenant were breached without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

· our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security was payable on demand; and

· our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contained covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security was outstanding.

We anticipate that we would only consummate such a financing simultaneously with the consummation of a Business Combination, although nothing would preclude us from raising more capital in anticipation of a possible Business Combination.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On May 16, 2007 we entered into an agreement with certain of our initial stockholders for the sale of 2,800,000 warrants in a private placement. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from us one share of our common stock on a cashless basis. The warrants were sold at a price of $1.00 per warrant, generating net proceeds of $2,800,000.

On December 5, 2007 we consummated our initial public offering of 6,250,000 units. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one warrant. On December 19, 2007, we consummated the closing of 376,300 additional units subject to the underwriters' over allotment option. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase from us one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.50.

The net proceeds we received from the private placement and the sale of our units and warrants were $53,182,836 (not including deferred underwriting discounts and commissions of $1,590,312). Of this amount, $52,389,984 was placed in a Trust Account at JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee. The remaining funds of approximately $800,000 are being held outside of the trust. The $800,000 held outside of trust (and including $600,000 of interest we may earn on funds in the trust account, which we are entitled to in order to cover our operating expenses and the costs associated with our plan of dissolution and liquidation if we do not consummate a business combination) will be used to cover our operating expenses for the next 24 months and to cover the expenses incurred in connection with a business combination.

We will use substantially all of the net proceeds of the initial public 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 November 2009, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, we may need to raise additional funds through a private or public 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.

The $1,590,312 of the funds attributable to the deferred underwriting discount and commissions in connection with the offering and private placement will be released to the underwriters less $0.24 per share for any public stockholders exercising their redemption rights, upon completion of a business combination as such term is defined in our prospectus filed on Form 424B4 on November 30, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

-32-

We may need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required to consummate a Business Combination before November 29, 2009. Although we believe the net proceeds of the offering and the private placement will be sufficient to allow us to consummate a business combination, in as much as we have not yet identified any prospective target business, we cannot ascertain the capital requirements for any particular transaction. If the net proceeds of the offering and the private placement prove to be insufficient, either because of the size of the business combination or the depletion of the available net proceeds in search of a target business, or because we become obligated to redeem for cash a significant number of shares from dissenting stockholders, we will be required to seek additional financing. We cannot assure you such financing would be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

Commencing on November 29, 2007 we began incurring a fee of $7,500 per month for certain administrative services from Camden Partners Holdings, LLC. In addition, in 2007, Camden Learning, LLC advanced to us an aggregate of $200,000 for payment of offering expenses on our behalf. These advances were repaid on December 5, 2007 from the proceeds of the initial public offering that were allocated to pay offering expenses.

We may use all or substantially all of the proceeds held in trust other than the deferred portion of the underwriter's fee to acquire one or more target businesses. We may not use all of the proceeds held in the Trust Account in connection with a Business Combination, either because the consideration for the business combination is less than the proceeds in trust or because we finance a portion of the consideration with capital stock or debt securities that we can issue. In that event, the proceeds held in the trust account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used to finance the operations of the target business or businesses. The operating businesses that we acquire in such business combination must have, individually or collectively, a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriter's fee of $1,590,312) at the time of such acquisition. If we consummate multiple business combinations that collectively have a fair market value of 80% of our net assets, then we would require that such transactions are consummated simultaneously.

If we are unable to find a suitable target business by November 29, 2009, we will be forced to liquidate. If we are forced to liquidate, the per share liquidation amount may be less than the initial per unit offering price because of the underwriting commissions and expenses related to our initial public offering and because of the value of the warrants in the per unit offering price. Additionally, if third parties make claims against us, the initial public offering proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to those claims, resulting in a further reduction to the per share liquidation price. Under Delaware law, our stockholders who have received distributions from us may be held liable for claims by third parties to the extent such claims have not been paid by us. Furthermore, our warrants will expire worthless if we liquidate before the completion of a business combination.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Through December 31, 2007, our efforts have been primarily organizational activities, activities relating to our initial public offering and active searching for a target company to do a business combination. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. We currently have no operating business and have not entered into a definitive agreement with any potential target businesses. Beginning December 5, 2007 (the date of the consummation of our initial public offering) until our consummation of a business combination, we expect interest earned on the offering proceeds held in our Trust Account to be our primary source of income.

The Company received net proceeds from the offering of $47,492,852, before deducting deferred underwriting compensation of $1,500,000. On December 19, 2007 the underwriters for the offering exercised a portion of their over-allotment option, generating proceeds of $2,889,984, before deducting deferred underwriting compensation of $90,312.

In addition, we may need to raise additional funds through a private offering of debt or equity securities if such funds are required to consummate an initial transaction that is presented to us. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such a fund-raising simultaneously with the consummation of an initial transaction.

We currently pay Camden Partners Holdings, LLC an aggregate fee of $7,500 per month which includes the cost of other general and administrative services provided to us by Camden Partners Holdings, LLC.

Contractual Obligations

We did not have any long term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or other long term liabilities. We entered into a Service Agreement with Camden Partners Holdings, LLC requiring us to pay $7,500 per month. The agreement terminates on the earlier of the completion of a business combination or upon our dissolution.

The Company has entered into an engagement agreement with Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. whereby Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. will provide financial advisory and investment banking services to the Company. For a more complete discussion of this engagement, see below under the section entitled "Item 13 Certain Relationships and Related Transaction."

Other than contractual obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, we do not have any other long-term contractual obligations.
