Default Extract Part of a Cells Contents Q

I saw yesterday a post on extracting art of a cells contents, I have
tried to twaek it to fit my requirements but am lost as to how to.

The formula that I tried to tweak is:

="Accounts for Period - "&LEFT(TRIM(MID(A2,FIND("-",A2)+1,99))&"
",FIND(" ",TRIM(MID(A2,FIND("-",A2)+1,99))&" ")-1) - The will return
"Accounts for Period - October'08"

The Text in A2 is

^Accounts Reconciliation - October'08 (at 08/11/2008)

What I want to extract is only the text 08/11/2008 - i.e. everything
within the brackets, but not the brackets themselves or the word 'at'
