SECURITY AND ISSUER This joint statement on Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock") of Factory Card & Party Outlet Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The address of the Issuer's principal executive offices is 2727 Diehl Road, Naperville, IL 60563. ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND This joint statement on Schedule 13D is being filed by David E. Cohen, Ross D. DeMont, Midwood Capital Management LLC, Midwood Capital Partners, L.P. and Midwood Capital Partners QP, L.P., who are collectively referred to as the "Reporting Persons." Messrs. Cohen and DeMont (the "Managers") are the managers of Midwood Capital Management, LLC ("Capital"), which is the sole general partner of each of Midwood Capital Partners, L.P. ("LP") and Midwood Capital Partners QP, L.P. ("QP" and together with LP, the "Funds"). By virtue of their positions, each of the Managers has the power to vote and dispose of the shares of Common Stock held by each of the Funds. Information with respect to each of the Reporting Persons is as follows: (1) (a) David E. Cohen (b) One Washington Mall, 8th Floor, Boston, MA 02108 (c) Mr. Cohen is a manager of Capital.

(d) No (e) No ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION The Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock for a total of $1,977,093.07 using cash from the Funds. The shares of such Common Stock held by LP and QP are held in margin accounts which from time to time may incur debit balances. Since other securities are held in such margin accounts, it is impracticable to determine the amounts, if any, borrowed with respect to such shares of Common Stock. The cost of borrowing with respect to such margin accounts fluctuates with the broker loan rate and the amount of the debit balance. CUSIP No. 303051106 Page 9 of 14 ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION The Reporting Persons acquired shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer for investment purposes, based on their belief that the Issuer's stock is undervalued and represents an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Persons have in the past engaged, and may in the future engage, in a dialogue with management of the Issuer ("Management") and with the chairman of the Issuer's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors"), including dialogue as part of conversations in which other stockholders of the Issuer were present and participating, as well as dialogue with other stockholders of the Issuer, in each case regarding factors contributing to the current undervaluation of the Issuer's stock and new strategies to create and maximize value for the Issuer's stockholders. The Reporting Persons intend to regularly review their equity interest in the Issuer. Depending upon their evaluation of the factors described below, one or more of the Reporting Persons may from time to time purchase additional securities of the Issuer (subject to the limitations of an agreement between the Reporting Persons and the Issuer, as described in Item 6 below), dispose of all or a portion of the securities then held by such Reporting Person, or cease buying or selling such securities. Any such additional purchases or sales of securities of the Issuer may be in the open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The factors which the Reporting Persons may consider in evaluating their equity interest in the Issuer's business include the following: (i) the Issuer's business and prospects; (ii) the business strategy and actions of Management and the Board of Directors to enhance the Issuer's value to its stockholders; (iii) the performance of the Common Stock and the availability of the Common Stock for purchase at particular price levels; (iv) the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of the Reporting Persons' interests; (v) general economic conditions; (vi) stock market and money market conditions; (vii) other business and investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons; and (viii) other plans and requirements of the Reporting Persons. Depending on their assessment of the foregoing factors, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, modify their present intention as stated in this item 4. Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons do not have at this time any specific plans which would result in (a) the acquisition by the Reporting Persons of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition by the Reporting Persons of securities of the Issuer; (b) any extraordinary corporate transactions such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) any sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Management or Board of Directors, including any plans or proposals to change the number of term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board of Directors; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) any change in the Issuer's charter or by-laws which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) the Issuer's Common Stock being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system or a registered national securities association; (i) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated above. CUSIP No. 303051106 Page 10 of 14 ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER (a) In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 250,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 8.0% of such class of securities. The beneficial ownership of each Reporting Person is as follows: (i) LP beneficially owns 119,546 shares of the Common Stock, representing approximately 3.8% of the class, (ii) QP beneficially owns 130,454 shares of the Common Stock, representing approximately 4.2% of the class, and (iii) Capital, as the sole general partner of each Fund, and Messrs. Cohen and DeMont, as the managers of Capital, each beneficially own 250,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer representing approximately 8.0% of the class. The percentage of the Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is based on a total of 3,133,502 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of December 9, 2005, as reported in the most recent quarterly report of the Issuer on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 29, 2005. (b) By virtue of their positions as managers of Capital, each of the Managers has the shared authority to vote and dispose of the shares of Common Stock reported in this joint statement Schedule 13D. (c) The following transactions in the Common Stock were conducted by Reporting Persons from January 16, 2006 (60 days prior to the event which requires the filing of this statement) to the date hereof:
