Quarterly Report
On September 15, 2008, HoldCo, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Merger Agreement") whereby HoldCo agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of Archway Marketing Services, Inc.
("Archway") from Argenbright, Inc. ("Argenbright") at the same price and on
substantially the same terms as are contained in the Archway Purchase Agreement,
(the "HoldCo Acquisition"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the HoldCo
Acquisition would only be consummated if the Archway Purchase Agreement was
terminated.
On September 22, 2008, the Company held its special meeting of stockholders
to vote on the proposed Acquisitions. At the special meeting of stockholders the
proposed Acquisitions were not approved by the Company's stockholders. Pursuant
to its charter and terms of its initial public offering, the Company is not
permitted to pursue any other transactions. The Company will begin the process
of liquidating and dissolving itself in accordance with its charter and
applicable law pending stockholder approval of its plan of liquidation and
dissolution. As a result, the Company expects that the amounts held in its Trust
Account, together with interest (net of applicable taxes), will be returned to
the Company's public stockholders. No payments will be made with respect to the
Company's outstanding warrants or to any of its initial stockholders with
respect to the shares owned by them prior to the initial public offering. On
October 21, 2008, the Company mailed to its stockholders a proxy statement
seeking approval to effect the liquidation and dissolution at a special meeting
of stockholders scheduled for November 19, 2008. For a more complete discussion
see our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on
October 21, 2008.
On October 31, 2008, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the
"Amended Letter Agreement") with HoldCo which amended that certain letter
agreement between the Company and HoldCo, dated as of September 14, 2008,
pursuant to which HoldCo agreed to pay to the Company a fee of $750,000 (the
"Fee") upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of September 14, 2008, by and among Archway Marketing
Holdings, Inc., Archway Marketing Acquisition, Inc., Argenbright, Inc. and
Archway Marketing Services, Inc., as amended (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant
to the Amended Letter Agreement, the Company and HoldCo agreed that in
consideration of their additional efforts and risks related to the transactions
arising from the significant changes in the financing and economic environment
in recent weeks and the attendant difficulties, expenses and terms of obtaining
reasonable financing for the transactions, the Fee was reduced from $750,000 to
$250,000.
On November 3, 2008, the HoldCo Acquisition was consummated and the Company
received the Fee.

Management LLC has agreed that, until we consummate the acquisition of a target
business, it will make such office space, as well as certain office and
secretarial services, available to us, as we may require from time to time. We
have agreed to pay Union Street Capital Management LLC $7,500 per month for such
services commencing on February 1, 2007. The statement of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 includes $22,500 and $67,500,
respectively, related to this agreement.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe we will have sufficient available funds outside of the trust
account to operate through February 7, 2009, or until our dissolution and
liquidation.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Warrants issued in conjunction with our initial public offering are equity
linked derivatives and accordingly represent off-balance sheet arrangements. The
warrants meet the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of Financial Accounting
Standards (FAS) 133 and are accordingly not accounted for as derivatives for
purposes of FAS 133, but instead are accounted for as equity. See Note C to the
financial statements for more information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair
value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement clarifies the principle
that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants
would use when pricing the asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair
value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets
and the lowest priority to unobservable data. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever
other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value.
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company implemented SFAS No. 157, which did not
have an impact on Company's financial results. In accordance with the provisions
of FSP No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, the Company has
elected to defer implementation of SFAS 157 as it relates to its non-financial
assets and non-financial liabilities until January 1, 2009.
We adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 ("SFAS
159") on January 1, 2008. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. We have not made
any fair value elections as permitted under the provisions of SFAS 159;
therefore, the adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
