TAC ACQUISITION CORP.

(a development stage company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2006

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE A – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

TAC Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on March 3, 2005. The Company was formed to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of an operating business in the technology-related sector through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination. The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. The Company is considered to be in the development stage and is subject to the risks associated with activities of development stage companies. The Company has not provided any financial information for the period from March 3, 2005 (date of inception) through March 31, 2005 as the Company’s operations were insignificant during this period.

The financial statements, except for the December 31, 2005 balance sheet, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2006. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to such period that have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The December 31, 2005 balance sheet amounts are derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective June 28, 2005. The Company consummated the IPO on July 1, 2005 and received net proceeds of approximately $110,800,000. In addition, on August 12, 2005 the underwriters for the IPO exercised their over-allotment option (the “Over-Allotment Option Exercise” and, together with the IPO, the “Offering”), generating net proceeds of approximately $11,260,000. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of this Offering of Units (as defined in Note C below), although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination with (or acquisition of) one or more operating businesses in the technology sector (“Business Combination”). Nonetheless, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. An amount of approximately $122,500,000 of the net proceeds is being held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and is invested in money market funds composed of either primarily short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or primarily tax-exempt municipal bonds until the earlier of (i) the consummation of its first Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. The remaining proceeds may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, will submit such transaction for stockholder approval. In the event that 20% or more of the outstanding stock (excluding, for this purpose, those shares of common stock issued prior to the Offering) vote against the Business Combination, the Business Combination will not be consummated.

With respect to a Business Combination which is approved and consummated (that is, less than 20% of the outstanding stock, excluding, for this purpose, those shares of common stock issued prior to the Offering, vote against the Business Combination), any public stockholder who voted against the Business Combination may demand that the Company redeem his or her shares. The per share redemption price will equal the amount in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, divided by the number of shares of common stock held by public stockholders at the consummation of the Offering. Accordingly, public stockholders holding less than 20% of the aggregate number of shares owned by all public stockholders may seek redemption of their shares even in the event a Business Combination is approved. As a result, a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering (19.99% of the amount initially deposited in the Trust Account) as well as 19.99% of the accreted value of the Trust Account have been classified as common stock subject to possible redemption in the accompanying June 30, 2006 balance sheet.

In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 12 months from the date of the consummation of the Offering, or 18 months from the consummation of the Offering if certain extension criteria have been satisfied, the proceeds held in the Trust Account will be distributed to the Company’s public stockholders, excluding the initial stockholders to the extent of their initial stock holdings acquired prior to the Offering. In the event of such distribution, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering, assuming no value is attributed to the Warrants contained in the Units in the Offering (see Note C).

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

[1]  Cash and cash equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

[2]  Earnings per common share:

Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

[3]  Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

[4]  Income taxes:

Deferred income taxes are provided for the differences between the bases of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

NOTE C – INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On July 1, 2005, the Company sold 20,000,000 units (“Units”) in the IPO for $6.00 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one share of the Company’s common stock, $.0001 par value per share, and two redeemable common stock purchase warrants (“Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 commencing on the later of (a) June 28, 2006 or (b) the completion of a Business Combination with a target business, and expiring June 28, 2010. The Warrants are redeemable at a price of $.01 per Warrant upon 30 days notice after the Warrants become exercisable, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $8.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. In connection with the Offering, the Company issued an option, for $100, to the representative of the underwriters to purchase 1,000,000 units (the underwriters’ unit purchase option or “UPO”) at an exercise price of $7.50 per unit, which otherwise have terms comparable to the Units. The warrants underlying the UPO are exercisable at $6.65 per share. All of the initial stockholders were granted certain registration rights.

On August 12, 2005, the Company sold an additional 2,000,000 Units pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option Exercise.

NOTE D – STOCKHOLDER NOTE PAYABLE

The Company issued a non-interest bearing $150,000 unsecured promissory note to an initial stockholder of the Company on March 14, 2005. In accordance with its terms, the note was repaid on July 1, 2005 from the proceeds of the Offering.

NOTE E – OTHER MATTERS

Certain officers and directors of the Company serve in similar or executive capacities for a publicly traded business development company or other entities that may invest in technology-related companies.

NOTE F – COMMON STOCK RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE

At June 30, 2006, 47,000,000 shares of stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of redeemable warrants and the UPO.

NOTE G – COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

Charles Royce, one of the Company’s initial stockholders, has agreed that upon completion of the Offering and within the first sixty trading days after the separate trading of the Warrants and shares of common stock comprising the Units has commenced, he or certain of his affiliates will commit to collectively purchase up to $2 million of Warrants in the public market at prices not to exceed $.70 per warrant. As of February 27, 2006, Mr. Royce had purchased approximately $2 million of Warrants pursuant to his agreement. Mr. Royce has further agreed that any Warrants purchased by him or his affiliates will not be sold or transferred until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination and the distribution of the Trust Account to the public stockholders.

NOTE H – DEFINITIVE MERGER AGREEMENT

On June 9, 2006, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with AVIEL Systems, Inc., a Virginia corporation, or AVIEL, and R. John Chapel, the sole stockholder of AVIEL, pursuant to which AVIEL has agreed to merge with and into the Company with the Company remaining as the surviving corporation. Assuming completion of the merger, the Company will change its name to AVIEL Systems, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the merger transaction will close on the later of (i) August 21, 2006, or (ii) two business days following the satisfaction of the closing conditions as set forth in the merger agreement.

The total merger consideration to be paid is approximately $100.0 million consisting of cash, stock and the repayment of certain debt obligations. The merger agreement provides that at the closing of the merger, Mr. Chapel will receive $24.0 million in our common stock calculated in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement and $33.6 million in cash. Mr. Chapel will be required to place $9.0 million of our common stock received as merger consideration into escrow until eighteen months following closing. Consummation of the merger is subject to customary regulatory approvals, the approval of the Company’s shareholders and certain other conditions, including that in the event that 20% or more of the outstanding stock (excluding, for this purpose, those shares of the Company’s common stock issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering on July 1, 2005) vote against the Company’s proposed merger with AVIEL and exercise their conversion rights, the proposed merger will not be consummated. In light of such conditions, and the fact that the Company must complete a business combination by no later than January 1, 2007, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the proposed business combination with AVIEL.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We were formed on March 3, 2005 as a blank check company for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, one or more operating businesses in the technology-related sector. We intend to use cash derived from the net proceeds of our initial public offering, which closed on July 1, 2005, and the exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option, which closed on August 12, 2005, together with any additional financing arrangements that we undertake, to effect a business combination.

The net proceeds from our initial public offering on July 1, 2005 was approximately $110,800,000, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $800,000 and underwriting discounts of $8,400,000, including $1,200,000 attributable to the lead underwriter’s non-accountable expense allowance of 1% of the gross proceeds of the initial public offering. Of this amount, $109,900,000 was placed in trust, with approximately $900,000 remaining and available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters.

The net proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option on August 12, 2005 was approximately $11,280,000, after deducting underwriting discounts of $720,000. All the net proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option have been placed in trust.

As of June 30, 2006, approximately $124,600,000 was held in trust and we had approximately $497,000 of our offering proceeds and bank borrowings not held in trust remaining and available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters.

We will use substantially all of the net proceeds discussed above to acquire one or more operating businesses, including identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, selecting one or more operating businesses, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination, including the making of a down payment or the payment of exclusivity or similar fees and expenses, if any. However, 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.

We may issue additional capital stock or debt securities to finance a business combination. The issuance of additional capital stock, including upon conversion of any convertible debt securities we may issue, or the incurrence of debt, could have material consequences on our business and financial condition. The issuance of additional shares of our capital stock (including upon conversion of convertible debt securities):

 

    may significantly reduce the equity interest of our stockholders;

 

    will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock or voting preferred stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and may 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 common stock.

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

 

    default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a business combination are insufficient to pay our debt obligations;

 

    acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach the covenants contained in any debt securities, such as covenants that require the satisfaction or maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves, without a waiver or renegotiation of such covenants;

 

    an obligation to immediately repay all principal and accrued interest, if any, upon demand to the extent any debt securities are payable on demand; and

 

    our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, to the extent any debt securities contain covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security is outstanding, or to the extent our existing leverage discourages other potential investors.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, our efforts were limited to activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, and activities relating to general corporate matters; we have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date, other than interest income earned on the proceeds of our initial public offering. As of June 30, 2006, approximately $124,600,000 was held in trust and we had approximately $497,000 of our offering proceeds and bank borrowings not held in trust remaining and available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters.

On November 8, 2005, we executed a promissory note establishing a $1 million revolving credit facility with Wachovia Bank, N.A., or Wachovia, in order to ensure that we have sufficient funds to allow us to operate through January 1, 2007, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. As of May 15, 2006, we have fully drawn down the $1 million facility. On June 23, 2006, we executed an amended and restated promissory note with Wachovia Bank, N.A., which served to increase the amount available under our revolving credit facility to $2 million. As of June 30, 2006, we had drawn down approximately $1.5 million under our current revolving credit facility.

Amounts borrowed under the promissory note will bear interest based upon one month LIBOR, plus 1.50%. All amounts borrowed under the promissory note will mature, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereunder will be due and payable, on the earlier of (i) the date that funds are withdrawn from the trust account for any purpose and (ii) January 1, 2007. The promissory note also contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default.

Based upon our currently available funds, we believe that we have sufficient funds to allow us to operate through January 1, 2007, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. We cannot ensure you that we will have sufficient funds available to continue to operate in the event we expend our currently available funds. Over this time period, we currently anticipate incurring expenses for the following purposes:

 

    payment of premium associated with our director’s and officer’s insurance;

Table of Contents
    payment of estimated taxes incurred as a result of interest income earned on funds currently held in the trust account;

 

    legal and accounting fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations and general corporate matters;

 

    structuring and negotiating a business combination, and soliciting shareholder approval of that business combination; and

 

    other miscellaneous expenses.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we earned approximately $1,170,000 in interest income. As of June 30, 2006, approximately 61% of the funds held in the trust account were invested in the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund, a money market fund that invests primarily in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States, and approximately 39% of the funds held in the trust account were invested in the J.P. Morgan Tax Free Money Market Fund, a money market fund that invests primarily in tax-exempt municipal bonds.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we paid or incurred an aggregate of approximately $805,185 in expenses for the following purposes:

 

    premiums associated with our directors and officers liability insurance;

 

    payment of estimated taxes incurred as a result of interest income earned on funds currently held in the trust account;

 

    expenses for due diligence and investigation of prospective target businesses;

legal and accounting fees associated with the negotiation and execution of the merger agreement with AVIEL Systems, Inc.;

payment to Capitalink L.C. for preparing a fairness opinion;

 

    expenses in legal and accounting fees relating to our SEC reporting obligations and our investigation of prospective target businesses; and

 

    miscellaneous expenses.

We have also sold to Wedbush Morgan Securities Inc., for $100, an option to purchase up to a total of 1,000,000 units, consisting of one share of common stock and two warrants, at $7.50 per unit, from the consummation of the business combination until up to five years after July 1, 2005, the date we completed our initial public offering. The warrants underlying such units will have terms that are identical to those being issued in the current offering, with the exception of the exercise price, which will be set at $6.65 per warrant. The purchase option may be transferred, in whole or in part, to any subsidiary or affiliate of Wedbush Morgan Securities Inc. upon notice to the Company, or to any third party transferee, subject to the Company’s consent. The purchase option also contains a cashless exercise feature that allows the holder of the purchase option to receive units on a net exercise basis. In addition, the purchase option provides for registration rights that will permit the holder of the purchase option to demand that a registration statement be filed with respect to all or any part of the securities underlying the purchase option within five years of July 1, 2005, the date we completed our initial public offering. Further, the holder of the purchase option is entitled to piggy-back registration rights in the event we undertake a subsequent registered offering within seven years of June 28, 2005, the date of the prospectus relating to our initial public offering.

Entry into Definitive Merger Agreement

On June 9, 2006, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with AVIEL Systems, Inc., a Virginia corporation, or AVIEL, and R. John Chapel, the sole stockholder of AVIEL, pursuant to which AVIEL has agreed to merge with and into us with us remaining as the surviving corporation. Assuming completion of the merger, we will change our name to AVIEL Systems, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the merger transaction will close on the later of (i) August 21, 2006, or (ii) two business days following the satisfaction of the closing conditions as set forth in the merger agreement.

Table of Contents

The total merger consideration to be paid is approximately $100.0 million consisting of cash, stock and the repayment of certain debt obligations. The merger agreement provides that at the closing of the merger, Mr. Chapel will receive $24.0 million in our common stock calculated in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement and $33.6 million in cash. Mr. Chapel will be required to place $9.0 million of our common stock received as merger consideration into escrow until eighteen months following closing. Technology Investment Capital Corp., or TICC, the holder of a warrant to purchase shares of AVIEL common stock, will have the right to acquire and receive, upon exercise of the its warrant, $1.0 million of our common stock, calculated in accordance with the merger agreement, and $1.4 million in cash pursuant to the terms of the existing warrant agreement relating to TICC’s warrant. TICC also holds approximately $14.5 million in outstanding debt securities issued by AVIEL that will be repaid upon closing of the merger. There are no other securityholders of AVIEL.

Consummation of the merger is subject to customary regulatory approvals, the approval of our shareholders and certain other conditions, including that in the event that 20% or more of the outstanding stock (excluding, for this purpose, those shares of our common stock issued prior to our initial public offering on July 1, 2005) vote against our proposed merger with AVIEL and exercise their conversion rights, the proposed merger will not be consummated. In light of such conditions, and the fact that we must complete a business combination by no later than January 1, 2007, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the proposed business combination with AVIEL.

For a more complete discussion of our proposed business combination, see our Current Report on Form 8-K (File No. 000-51340) filed on June 12, 2006, and our preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A (File No. 000-51340) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1, 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported consolidated amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have determined that we currently are not subject to any critical accounting policies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities and activities relating to our initial public offering and the identification of and execution of a merger agreement with a target business; we have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. As the proceeds from our initial public offering held in trust have been invested in short term investments, our only market risk exposure relates to fluctuations in interest rates.

As of June 30, 2006, approximately $124,600,000 of the net proceeds of our initial public offering was held in trust for the purposes of consummating a business combination. As of June 30, 2006, the proceeds held in trust have been invested in a money market fund that invests primarily in short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States, and a money market fund that invests primarily in tax exempt municipal bonds. As of June 30, 2006, the effective annualized interest rate payable on our investment was approximately 4%. Assuming no other changes to our holdings as of June 30, 2006, a 1% decrease in the underlying interest rate payable on our investments as of June 30, 2006 would result in a decrease of approximately $312,000 in the interest earned on our investments for the following 90-day period, and a corresponding decrease in our net increase in stockholders’ equity resulting from operations, if any, for that period.

We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception on March 3, 2005. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As of June 30, 2006, we, including our Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as our Principal Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting management, including the Chief Executive Officer of material information about us required to be included in periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, is any material legal proceeding threatened against us. From time to time, we may be a party to certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal course of our business. While the outcome of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect that these proceedings will have a material effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (000-51340) filed on March 31, 2006.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

We did not engage in any unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2006.

On June 28, 2005, we commenced our initial public offering of units, each consisting of one share of our common stock, par value $.0001 per share, and two warrants, each exercisable for one share of our common stock, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-123382), which registration statement was declared effective on June 28, 2005. Wedbush Morgan Securities Inc. served as lead managing underwriter for our initial public offering, which closed on July 1, 2005. The net proceeds from our initial public offering were approximately $110,800,000, after deducting offering expenses of approximately $800,000 and underwriting discounts of $8,400,000, including $1,200,000 evidencing the underwriters’ non-accountable expense allowance of 1% of the gross proceeds of the initial public offering. As of July 1, 2005, $109,900,000 of this amount had been placed in trust for purposes of consummating a business combination, with approximately $900,000 remaining and available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters.

On August 12, 2005, the underwriters for our initial public offering exercised their over-allotment option and purchased 2,000,000 additional units. The net proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option was approximately $11,280,000, after deducting underwriting discounts of $720,000. All the net proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option have been placed in trust.

As of June 30, 2006, we have paid or incurred an aggregate of approximately $2,535,000 in expenses, which have been or will be paid out of the proceeds of our initial public offering not held in trust and our bank borrowings, for the following purposes:

 

    repayment of the note payable to our initial stockholder, Mr. Royce, which loan was repaid in full, without interest, and cancelled;

 

    premiums associated with our directors and officers liability insurance;

 

    for payment of estimated taxes incurred as a result of interest income earned on funds currently held in the trust account;

 

    expenses for due diligence and investigation of prospective target businesses;

legal and accounting fees associated with the negotiation and execution of the merger agreement with AVIEL Systems, Inc.;

As of June 30, 2006, approximately $124,600,000 was held in trust and we had approximately $497,000 of our offering proceeds not held in trust and our bank borrowings remaining and available to us for our activities in connection with identifying and conducting due diligence of a suitable business combination, and for general corporate matters.
