ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

On or about February 28, 2008, the Reporting Person purchased an aggregate of 800,000 units of securities (“Unit”) of the Issuer in connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering that was consummated on or about February 27, 2008.

(“EarlyBird”), determines that an earlier date is acceptable.

The source of funds used to pay the Purchase Price is derived from an inter-company loan arrangement between the Reporting Person and an affiliate of the Reporting Person (the “Affiliated Lender”). Under this arrangement, the Affiliated Lender agreed to lend such funds to the Reporting Person at an interest rate of 10% per annum, to be paid at the option of the Reporting Person during a five year term.
