Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under
the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our Management, including our Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
5
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of December
31, 2025. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness described below.
Management
identified certain control deficiencies, that when aggregated constitute material weaknesses as follows:
1. Segregation
of Duties: Due to operating in a small business environment, we evaluate the cost of implementing
controls relative to their potential benefit. As a result, we may not maintain adequate segregation
of duties to ensure the proper processing, review, and authorization of all transactions,
including non-routine transactions and training activities.
2. Documentation:
We do not have sufficient written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures,
as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which applies to the Company for the year ended December
31, 2025.
3. Accounting
Resources: Our accounting function lacks sufficient resources, which limits our ability to
collect, analyze, and properly review financial information.
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis.
In
response to the identified material weaknesses, we have undertaken several initiatives to strengthen our internal controls:
1. Segregation
of Duties: We are reevaluating the allocation of responsibilities within our accounting and
finance functions to improve segregation of duties, including implementing compensating controls
where full segregation is impractical due to our small business environment.
2. Documentation
of Controls: We are developing and formalizing written documentation of our internal control
policies and procedures, in compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
3. Accounting
Resources: We are augmenting our accounting resources by providing additional training to
current personnel and engaging qualified third-party professionals to support the preparation,
analysis, and review of financial information, particularly in areas involving complex accounting
standards.
These
remediation efforts are ongoing and will require time to fully implement and assess for effectiveness. Although we are committed to strengthening
our internal controls, we cannot guarantee that these measures will entirely eliminate all material weaknesses or that additional issues
will not arise in the future as accounting standards and industry practices continue to evolve.
We
do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and
procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure
controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all
our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal
control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We are an emerging growth company, as defined
in the JOBS Act, and as such we are exempt from the attestation requirement.
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025 due to the material weakness described above.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation
activities described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December
31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
Trading
Arrangements
During
the quarterly period ended December 31, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange
Act) adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,”
as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

To
the Stockholder and Board of Directors of
Aeon
Acquisition I Corp.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Aeon Acquisition I Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, and the
related statement of operations, changes in shareholder’s deficit, and cash flows for the period from August 1, 2025 (inception)
through December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the period from August 1, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory
Paragraph — Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described
in Note 2, the Company’s ability to execute its business plan is dependent upon its completion of the proposed initial public offering
described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable
period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also
described in Notes 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that become necessary should the Company be unable to continue
as a going concern.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit,
we were required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or
fraud and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
AEON
ACQUISITION I CORP. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company on
August 1, 2025. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share
purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). While the
Company may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, the Company intends to focus
on industries that complement our management team’s background, and to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify
and acquire a business.
On
December 31, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through December 31, 2025 related to the Company’s
formation and the Proposed Offering (as defined below). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion
of its initial business combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on
cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Proposed Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year
end. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with
early stage and emerging growth companies.
The
Company’s ability to commence operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources through a proposed initial public
offering of 25,000,000 units at $ 10.00 per unit (or 28,750,000 units if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in
full) (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”)
which is discussed in Note 3 (the “Proposed Offering”) and the sale of 300,000 Private Placement Units (whether or not the
over-allotment option is exercised) (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit in a private placement
to the Company’s sponsor, AEON ACQUISITION PARTNERS I, LLC (the “Sponsor”), that will close simultaneously with the
Proposed Offering. The sponsor will subscribe to purchase (a) 300,000 private placement units and (b) 675,000 Class A ordinary shares,
par value $ 0.0001 per share, of our company, which shares shall be subject to certain restrictions until the consummation of the initial
business combination (each, a “restricted Class A share”) for an aggregate purchase price of $ 3,000,000 (whether or not the
underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full) in a private placement (referred to herein as the “Private Placement,”
and the private placement units and restricted Class A shares together, the “private placement securities”). The Company
intends to list the Units on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”). The Company’s management has broad discretion with
respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Proposed Offering and sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially
all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Nasdaq rules provide that the
Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance
in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the signing
of an agreement to enter into a Business Combination.
The
Company will complete a Business Combination only if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding
voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register
as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Proposed Offering, management
has agreed that $ 10.00 per Unit sold in the Proposed Offering, including the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Units, will
be held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and may be invested only in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185
days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, that invest only in
direct U.S. government treasury obligations; the holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose
of facilitating the intended business combination. To mitigate the risk that the Company might be deemed to be an investment company
for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that the Company hold investments in the trust account, the
Company may, at any time (based on our management team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under
the Investment Company Act), instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the trust account and instead to hold the funds
in the trust account in cash or in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank.
The
Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion
of our initial business combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination
or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of
a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of how
they vote for the Business Combination.
F- 7
AEON
ACQUISITION I CORP.
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially
$ 10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company
to pay its tax obligations). These ordinary shares will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the
completion of the Proposed Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.”
If
a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company
will, pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and
Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers, and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing
our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination
and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.
The
sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive
their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private shares and public shares in connection with the completion of our
initial business combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private shares and public shares
in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; (iii)
waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares and private shares if the
Company fail to complete our initial business combination within the completion window, although they will be entitled to liquidating
distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fail to complete our initial business
combination within the prescribed time frame and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account; and (iv) vote any
founder shares and private shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after this offering (including in open market
and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination (except that any public shares such parties may purchase
in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination
transaction).
The
Company will have until 15 months from the closing of the Proposed Offering, with two (2) three-month extension at the option of the
sponsor (as may be extended by shareholder approval to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend
the date by which the Company must consummate our initial business combination) or until such earlier liquidation date as our board of
directors may approve, to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete
a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up,
(ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter (and subject to lawfully available funds therefor),
redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account,
including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (which interest shall be net of taxes and less up to $ 100,000 of interest
to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public
shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable
law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and
our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims
of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold
to us (except for the Company’s independent auditors), or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into
a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds
in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust
account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $ 10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of
the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target
business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable)
nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the
Company independently verified whether our sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believe
that our sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure you that our sponsor would be
able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the trust account, the funds available
for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $ 10.00 per public share. In such event, the Company
may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any
redemption of your public shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without
limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
NOTE
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of presentation
The
accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Going
Concern Consideration
The
Company’s financial statements are prepared assuming it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of
assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has a working capital deficit
of $ 342,760 , and no cash, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue for a period of time within one year after the date
that the financial statements are issued.
Per
ASC 205-40. Management’s plans include access to up to $ 1,500,000 in working capital loans from the Sponsor (subsequent to December
31, 2025), convertible into Class A shares at $ 10.00 post-business combination, which management believes will be sufficient to consummate
its initial public offering and proceed with its plans to find a target acquisition over the next 12 months. However, there are no assurances
that the Company will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. The accompanying financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company expects to continue to incur significant
costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of December 31, the Company had $ 0 cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficit of $ 342,760 ($ 35,000 accrued offering costs
and $ 307,760 related-party note as of December 31, 2025), with $ 299,009 in deferred offering costs. Capital includes 12,321,429 Class
B shares issued to the Sponsor for a $ 25,000 uncollected subscription. Management relies on the proposed offering proceeds and a potential
$ 1,500,000 Sponsor loan (Note 5) to fund operations and a business combination, though completion is uncertain.
Emerging
growth company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act of 1933, as modified by the
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), as such the Company is eligible to take advantage of certain
exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
These exemptions include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements,
and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any
golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.
F- 9
AEON
ACQUISITION I CORP.
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has
different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised
standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements
with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the
extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of
a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating
its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company did no t have any cash or cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025.
Deferred
offering costs
The
Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses
of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Proposed
Offering. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,”
addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this
guidance to allocate Proposed Offering proceeds from the Public Units between Class A ordinary shares, rights and warrants, using the
residual method by allocating Proposed Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the rights, then warrants and the last to the Class
A ordinary shares. Offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption will be charged to temporary
equity, and offering costs allocated to the rights and warrants included in the Public Units and Private Placement Units will be charged
to shareholder’s equity as the warrants, after management’s evaluation, will be accounted for under equity treatment. Should
the Proposed Offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged
to operations. As of December 31, 2025, the Company incurred offering costs of $ 299,009 , of which $ 264,009 have been paid and $ 35,000
are included in “Accrued offering costs” on the accompanying balance sheet.
Income
taxes
The
Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset
and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed
for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible
amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC
Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not
to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s
major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income
tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025 and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company
is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its
position.
F- 10
AEON
ACQUISITION I CORP.
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company is considered to be a Cayman business company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject
to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the provision for income taxes
was deemed to be de minimis for the period from August 1, 2025 (inception) to December 31, 2025.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” For derivative financial instruments that are accounted
for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each
reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statement of operations. The classification of derivative instruments,
including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net cash settlement or conversion
of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The underwriters’ over-allotment option is deemed
to be a freestanding financial instrument indexed to the contingently redeemable shares and will be accounted for as a liability pursuant
to ASC 480 if not fully exercised at the time of the Proposed Offering.
Warrant
The
Company will account for the Public and Private Warrants to be issued in connection with the Proposed Offering and the private placement
in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Accordingly, the Company evaluated
and will classify the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values. There are no Public or Private Warrants currently
outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
Share
Rights
The
Company accounts for the Public Rights (defined below) issued in connection with the Proposed Public Offering and the private placement
in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated
and classified the rights under equity treatment at their assigned value.
Net
loss per ordinary share
The
Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per share is
computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares
subject to forfeiture. At December 31, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially,
be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is
the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.
Concentration
of credit risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution
which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $ 250,000 . At December 31, the Company had not experienced losses
on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to
their short-term nature.

Risks
and Uncertainties
The
United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the
ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict,
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States,
the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus
and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank
Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide
military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of
Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken
in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries
have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact
of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity
prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally,
any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity
in capital markets.
Any
of the above-mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions
resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions,
could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which the Company
may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE
3. PROPOSED OFFERING
Pursuant
to the Proposed Offering, the Company intends to issue Units, each consisting of one ordinary share, one redeemable warrant (“Public
Warrant”), and one right (“Public Right”). Each right entitles the holder to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one Class A
ordinary share upon consummation of an initial Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of the rights.
NOTE
4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
The
Sponsor has committed to purchase Private Placement Units in a private placement that will occur simultaneously with the closing of the
Proposed Offering. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be added to the net proceeds from the Proposed Offering
held in the Trust Account. The Private Placement Units are identical to the units sold in the Proposed Offering, as described in Note
7. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement
Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to applicable law), and the Private Warrants will expire worthless.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder
shares
On
August 20, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of 12,321,429 founder shares to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $ 25,000
in cash. The funds were not received by December 31, 2025. Such ordinary shares includes an aggregate of up to 1,607,143 shares which
will be surrendered to us to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the
Sponsor will collectively own 30 % of the outstanding shares after this offering (not including the Class A ordinary shares that are included
within the private units).
The
founder shares are designated as Class B ordinary shares and, except as described below, are identical to the Class A ordinary shares
included in the units being sold in this offering, and holders of founder shares have the same shareholder rights as public shareholders,
except that (i) the founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (ii) our sponsor,
officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to (A) waive their redemption
rights with respect to their founder shares, private shares and public shares in connection with the completion of our initial business
combination, (B) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private shares and public shares in connection with
a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (a) to modify the substance
or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100 % of our public shares
if we have not consummated an initial business combination within the completion window or (b) with respect to any other material provisions
relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, (C) waive their rights to liquidating distributions
from the trust account with respect to their founder shares and private shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination
within the completion window, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any
public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within such time period and to liquidating distributions
from assets outside the trust account and (D) vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after this
offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination (except that any
public shares such parties may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act would not be voted in
favor of approving the business combination transaction), (iv) the founder shares are automatically convertible into Class A ordinary
shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of our initial business combination or earlier at the option of the
holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described herein and in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association,
and (v) prior to the closing of our initial business combination, only holders of our Class B ordinary shares will be entitled to vote
on the appointment and removal of directors or continuing the company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any ordinary
resolution required to amend our constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of our
approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands).
With
certain limited exceptions, the founder shares are not transferable, assignable or saleable (except to our officers and directors and
other persons or entities affiliated with our sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the completion
of our initial business combination.
Promissory
Note — Related Party
On
August 20, 2025, the Sponsor issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an
aggregate principal amount of $ 200,000 ,
to be used for payment of costs related to the Proposed Offering. On December 30, 2025, the Company restated and amended the note to
increase the aggregate principal amount to $ 350,000 .
On February 12, 2026, the Company further restated and amended the note to increase the aggregate principal amount to $ 450,000
and again on April 7, 2026 to increase the aggregate principal amount to $ 550,000 . The note is non-interest bearing and the
Company intends to cancel the promissory note in exchange for 55,000
private placement units and 123,750
restricted Class A ordinary shares in connection with the closing of this offering. As of April 8, 2026, the Company has borrowed
$ 507,461.31
under the promissory note with our Sponsor.

Party Loans
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor,
or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working

entity at $ 10.00 per share; following the offering, the board may approve working capital loans that may be convertible into units. In
the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay
the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. As of December
31, 2025, no amounts under such loans have been drawn.

registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of our securities held by them and any other securities of the company
acquired by them prior to the consummation of a Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to
or on the effective date of the Proposed Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding
short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration
rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination. The registration rights
granted are limited to three demands at the Company’s expense and unlimited “piggy-back” rights for periods of five and
seven years, respectively, from the commencement of sales of the Proposed Offering. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection
with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting
Agreement
The
Company will grant the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Proposed
Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions.
The
underwriters will be entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $ 1,000,000
of the gross proceeds of the Proposed Offering (whether or
not the over-allotment option is exercised). In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of three percent ( 3.0 %)
of the gross proceeds of the Proposed Offering, or $ 7,500,000
(or up to $ 8,625,000
if the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised in full).
The deferred fee will be paid in cash upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject
to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Settlement of Legal Proceeding
We entered into a Settlement Agreement with
respect to an arbitration that was filed against the Company, Demetrios Mallios, The Aeon Group, Inc. (“AGI”), and
Geneships Acquisition Corp. with the American Arbitration Association in February 2026 (AAA Case No. 01-26-0000-6229) by Chardan
Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”) in connection with fees for certain capital-raising activities, including related to a
possible SPAC transaction, under a 2023 engagement letter and 2024 amendment that preceded our formation. The total amount sought
was not less than $ 15,000,000 .
In February 2026, we commenced a special proceeding
in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (Index No. 65082/2026) seeking to permanently stay the arbitration as against the Company.
Demetrios Mallios, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and, his affiliate, The Aeon Group, Inc., jointly and severally indemnified
the Company and its shareholders for any liabilities, losses, or expenses arising from the arbitration and any related claims.
On March 20, 2026, the parties agreed to a
binding settlement term sheet and on March 26, 2026, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement
Agreement”) with Chardan, Mr. Mallios, Geneships Acquisition Corp., AGI and D. Boral Capital LLC (“D.
Boral”).
The Settlement Agreement is contingent upon the
closing of this offering and will become effective only upon the closing of this offering (the “Effective Time”). The
Settlement Agreement provides, among other things, that Chardan will serve as lead book-running manager and D. Boral will serve as co-lead
book-running manager for this offering and that underwriting compensation in connection with this offering will be allocated between
them. The Settlement Agreement further provides that, following the Effective Time, the arbitration and related court proceeding will
be dismissed with prejudice, and mutual general releases between us, Demetrios Mallios, Geneships Acquisition Corp., and AGI that are contained in the Settlement Agreement
will become effective pursuant to which each party, on behalf of itself
and its affiliates and related parties, will release the other parties and their respective affiliates and representatives from all claims,
whether known or unknown, arising out of or relating to events occurring on or prior to March 25, 2026 other than obligations arising
under the Settlement Agreement and related transaction documents. There is no other separate consideration paid to or for any party.
If this offering does not close on or prior to
May 25, 2026, unless extended by mutual agreement of the Company, Chardan and D. Boral, the Settlement Agreement will automatically terminate
and be of no further force or effect. In such event, the arbitration and related proceedings could continue, and the Company and its
affiliates could remain subject to claims in excess of $ 15,000,000 . If the Settlement Agreement does not become effective, the arbitration and related
court proceedings would resume, and the Company’s ability to complete this offering or any subsequent initial business combination could be materially
and adversely affected.
The Settlement Agreement does not affect the funds
held in the trust account established in connection with this offering. Other than the deferred underwriting commissions which are payable
from the trust account upon the completion of an initial business combination, no amounts payable under or in connection with the Settlement
Agreement will be paid from the trust account. The Company does not expect that any liabilities arising under or in connection with the
Settlement Agreement, including any claim for breach thereof, would be payable from the trust account, and the Settlement Agreement provides
that neither the Company nor the trust account will be responsible for any payments required to effect the allocation of underwriting
compensation between the underwriters. No additional compensation is payable by the Company in connection with the Settlement Agreement
other than the underwriting compensation.

7. SHAREHOLDER’S DEFICIT
Preference
shares — The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of the
Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. On December 31, 2025, there were no preferred shares issued
or outstanding.
Class
A Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 450,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders
of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share . On December 31, 2025, there were no class A ordinary
shares issued or outstanding.
Class
B Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 45,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders
of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share . On August 20, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of
12,321,429 ordinary shares to the Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $ 25,000 in cash, of which 1,607,143 shares held by the Sponsor
are subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment option is not exercised in full. On December 31,
2025, there were 12,321,429 ordinary shares issued and outstanding.
The
Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation
of our initial business combination, or at any time prior thereto at the option of the holder thereof, on a one-for-one basis, subject
to adjustment as provided herein. Because our sponsor acquired the Class B ordinary shares at a nominal price, our public shareholders
will incur an immediate and substantial dilution upon the closing of this offering, assuming no value is ascribed to the warrants included
in the units. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities (as described herein), are issued or deemed
issued in excess of the amounts issued in this offering and related to the closing of our initial business combination, the ratio at
which the Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the
issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed
issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate,
30% of the sum of (i) the total number of all Class A ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of this offering (including any
Class A ordinary shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option and excluding the Class A ordinary shares that
are included within the private units), plus (ii) all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, in
connection with the closing of the initial business combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued,
to any seller in the initial business combination and any units issued to our sponsor or any of its affiliates or to our officers or
directors upon conversion of working capital loans) minus (iii) any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders in
connection with an initial business combination; provided that such conversion of founder shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one
basis.
Holders
of record of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on
all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Unless specified in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or as
required by the Companies Act or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being
entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the company is generally
required to approve any matter voted on by the Company’s shareholders. Approval of certain actions require an ordinary resolution
under Cayman Islands law, which (except as specified below) requires the affirmative vote of in excess of 50 percent of the votes cast
by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting,
and pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, such actions include amending the amended
and restated memorandum and articles of association and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. There is
no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, meaning, following the Company’s initial Business Combination,
the holders of more than 50% of the ordinary shares voted for the appointment of directors can elect all of the directors. Prior to the
consummation of the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Class B ordinary shares will (i) have the right to vote on the
appointment and removal of directors and (ii) be entitled to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands
(including any ordinary resolution required to amend the constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case,
as a result of approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). Holders of the Class A ordinary
shares will not be entitled to vote on these matters during such time. These provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles
of association may only be amended if approved by an ordinary resolution passed by the affirmative vote of the holders representing at
least 90% of the issued Class B ordinary shares.

Warrants
— Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants.
The Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, provided that the Company has
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants
and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the
securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or we permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless
basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement). If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable
upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of our initial business combination, warrant
holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we will have failed to maintain
an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not
listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1)
of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless
basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file
or maintain in effect a registration statement. The Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or
earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The
Company may call the Warrants for redemption:
●
in
whole and not in part;
●
at
a price of $ 0.01 per warrant; upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”);
and
●
if,
and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to
the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period
commencing at least 30 days after completion of our initial business combination and ending three business days before we send the
notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
The
private warrants will be identical to the warrants sold in this offering except that, so long as they are held by our sponsor or its
permitted transferees, the private warrants (i) are locked-up until the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) will
be entitled to registration rights.
The
exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations,
reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants.
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in
the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution
from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire
worthless.
The
exercise price is $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein. In addition, if (x) we issue additional Class A ordinary
shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination at
an issue price or effective issue price of less than $ 9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price
to be determined in good faith by our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to our initial shareholders or their affiliates,
without taking into account any founder shares held by our initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance)
(the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity
proceeds (including from such issuances and this offering), and interest thereon, available for the funding of our initial business combination
on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading
price of our Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which we consummate
our initial business combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $ 9.20 per share, then the exercise price of the
warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115 % of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and
the $ 18.00 per share redemption trigger prices will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180 % of the higher of the Market
Value and the Newly Issued Price.
Rights
— Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a business combination, each holder of a right will
automatically receive one-fifth (1/5) of one ordinary share upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. The Company will not
issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole
share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Cayman law. In the event the Company is not the surviving
company upon completion of the initial business combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her
or its rights in order to receive the one-fifth (1/5) of one ordinary share underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination.
If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the required time period and the Company will redeem the
public shares for the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds for their rights and the
rights will expire worthless.

8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC
Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about
operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise
for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker,
or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The
Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer (“CODM”), who reviews the
operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly,
management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment.
When
evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics,
which include the following:
SCHEDULE OF SEGMENT INFORMATION
For
the
Period
from
August 1, 2025
(inception) through
December 31, 2025
Formation and operating costs
$ ( 43,751 )
The
key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are formation and operating costs. Formation and operating costs are reviewed
and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Proposed Offering and eventually
a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews formation and operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce
all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.

transactions through April 14, 2026, which was the date these financial statements were available for issuance. Based upon this review, the
Company has identified below subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
