Risks Related to Our Business. We have a limited operating history. There may be conflicts of interest between our management and the non-management stockholders of the Company. We are likely to incur losses. We intend to change our business purpose, which will expose us to the risks associated with starting a new business.

There are relatively low barriers to becoming a blank check company or shell company, thereby increasing the competitive market for a small number of business opportunities. Future success with a business combination is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and attract a suitable acquisition. Management intends to devote only a limited amount of time to starting business operations or seeking a target company, which may adversely impact our ability to successfully begin operations or identify a suitable acquisition candidate.

There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully begin operations or consummate a business combination. Reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and compliance with the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, including establishing and maintaining acceptable internal controls over financial reporting, are costly. The time and cost of preparing a private company to become a public reporting company may preclude us from entering into a merger or acquisition with the most attractive private companies. The Company may be subject to further government regulation that would adversely affect our operations. Any potential acquisition or merger with a foreign company may subject us to additional risks. The Company may be subject to certain tax consequences in our business, which may increase our cost of doing business. Our business may have no revenue unless and until we begin operations or merge with or acquire an operating business. The Company has conducted no market research or identification of business opportunities, which may affect our ability to successfully begin operations or identify a business to merge with or acquire.
