1. Please reconcile your disclosure in the fourth paragraph that there have been no “specific” discussions with the disclosure in the first paragraph on page 7 that your sole officer and director has not had any preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other entity regarding a business combination with you.
The Company (a) has revised the disclosure on page 1 to indicate that it has had preliminary discussions with certain potential business combination candidates regarding business opportunities for the Company, but no definitive terms have been agreed, and the Company has not entered into any definitive agreement with any party, and (b) has deleted the referenced language on page 7 as redundant.
2. We note your statements on page 3 that your sole officer and director is “currently involved with two other blank check companies and may become associated with additional blank check companies at any time in the future,” and that he is “employed on a full-time basis by other companies.” Please revise to state how many companies your sole officer and director is employed on a full-time basis. Also explain how he will allocate his time if there is a concurrent acquisition opportunity for any of the other blank check companies with which he is involved.
The Company has corrected the disclosure in that location to indicate that its sole officer and director is employed on a full-time basis only with his law firm, Gilbride Tusa Last & Spellane LLC, and has added disclosure regarding how he will allocate his time if there is a concurrent acquisition opportunity for any of the other blank check companies with which he is involved.
3. We note your disclosure in Item 9 on page 11 that your common stock is not trading on any stock exchange. Where you discuss your competition to complete a business acquisition, please expand to address how the lack of trading on an exchange may impact your likelihood of success in finding a target company and completing a business combination.

4. We note your first sentence on page 7 that your sole officer and director has not had any preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other entity regarding a business combination with you. Given your relationship with Lucius Partners and your statement that you contemplate Lucius Partners may introduce business combination opportunities to you, please revise to confirm that Lucius Partners has not had, on your behalf, any such contact or discussions with other entities regarding a business combination with you.
The Company has revised the disclosure on page 2 to indicate that while Lucius Partners has introduced to the Company certain candidates for a potential business combination, no definitive terms have been agreed, and the Company has not entered into any definitive agreement with any party.
5. We note your statement that your management believes there are opportunities for a business combination with firms seeking the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation. Please revise your disclosure to state clearly how a private operating company would benefit by completing a business combination with you rather than by filing its own Exchange Act registration statement, given the information about the target company that you state will be filed in a Form 8-K at the time of the business combination.
