TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
1 — DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
AlphaVest
Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on January 14, 2022. The Company was formed for the
purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination
with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
The
Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. 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.
As
of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 14, 2022 (inception) through
September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”),
which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The
Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion an initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company
will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “Registration Statement”) was declared effective
on December 19, 2022. On December 22, 2022, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 6,000,000 units, (“Units”
and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds
of $ 60,000,000 , which is described in Note 3, and the sale of 390,000 Units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of
$ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit in private placements to AlphaVest Holding LP (the “Sponsor”) that was closed simultaneously
with the Initial Public Offering.
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering on December 22, 2022, an amount of $ 61,200,000 ($ 10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of
the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (as defined in Note 4) was placed in the Trust Account.
The funds held in the Trust Account may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in
any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule
2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination
or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
On
December 29, 2022, EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in an additional
900,000 Units issued for an aggregate amount of $ 9,000,000 . In connection with EBC’s full exercise of their over-allotment option,
the Company also consummated the sale of an additional 40,500 Private Units at $ 10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of
$ 405,000 .
As
of September 30, 2023, transaction costs related to the issuances described above amounted to $ 3,734,629 consisting of $ 1,725,000 of
underwriting fees, $ 629,929 of other offering costs, and $ 1,425,000 to trust account. These costs were charged to additional paid-in
capital or accumulated deficit to the extent additional paid-in capital is fully depleted upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.
The
Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward
consummating a Business Combination. The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more
operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below)
(excluding the taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the
post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise
acquires a controlling interest in the target business 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 Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that $ 10.20
per Unit sold in the Proposed Public Offering, including proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Units, will be held in a trust
account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16)
of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as
a money market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act,
as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds
in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.
5
The
Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem
all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination
or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder
approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to
redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $ 10.20 per Public
Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable).
All
of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s
liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection
with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”).
In accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity
instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require common
stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding
instruments (i.e., rights), the initial carrying value of common stock classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds
determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The common stock is subject to ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument
will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date
of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption
date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of
the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected the immediate fair value recognition
method. The accretion will be treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings,
additional paid-in capital). While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $ 5,000,001 , the Public
Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.
The
Company will not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $ 5,000,001 (so that it does
not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that
may be contained in the agreement relating to the Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination,
the Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving
a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting
of the Company, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does
not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents containing
substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares
(as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Proposed Public Offering in favor of approving a Business
Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective
of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant
to the tender offer rules, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder
is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public
Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.
6
The
Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with
the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association
(i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial
Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination
Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business
combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval
of any such amendment 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 Trust account and not previously released to pay taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public
Shares.
The
Company will have until 12 months (or 18 months if the Company extends the period) from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to
consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company has not completed 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, redeem 100 % of 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 and not previously released to us to pay our
taxes, if any (less up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public
Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive
further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval
of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the
Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
The
Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares it will
receive if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its
respective affiliates acquire Public Shares, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account
if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible
that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Proposed Public Offering price per
Unit ($ 10.00 ).
In
order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent
any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products
sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce
the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (1) $ 10.20 per Public Share and (2) 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 trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply to any
claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and as to any claims under the
Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Proposed Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable
against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will
seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to
have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target
businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest
or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
7
Proposed
Business Combination
On
August 11, 2023, AlphaVest Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Island exempted company (prior to the Merger Effective Date), “the Company”
and, at and after the Merger Effective Date, “PubCo”) entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business
Combination Agreement”) with AV Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
(“Merger Sub”), and Wanshun Technology Industrial Group Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Wanshun”).
Pursuant
to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Wanshun will be effected through the
merger of Merger Sub with and into Wanshun, with Wanshun surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger,”
and together with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the other agreements contemplated thereby,
the “Transactions”).
On
the Merger Effective Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part
of Wanshun or any shareholders of Wanshun (“Wanshun Shareholders”), (i) every issued and outstanding ordinary share of Wanshun
(each, a “Company Ordinary Share”), other than Dissenting Company Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)
and treasury shares owned by Wanshun, shall be exchanged into such number of ordinary shares of PubCo (“PubCo Ordinary Shares”)
equal to $ 300,000,000 (less any amounts properly owned to holders of dissenting Company Ordinary Shares) divided by $ 10.00 and divided
by the number of Company Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Date; (ii) if there are
any issued shares of Wanshun owned by Wanshun as treasury shares, such shares shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion
thereof or payment therefor; (iii) all ordinary shares of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective
Date shall be converted into an equal number of Company Ordinary Shares, as the surviving company after the Merger.
At
the Closing (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), 400,000,000 additional PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Escrowed Earnout
Shares”) will be issued to the Wanshun Shareholders and placed in an escrow account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company (“Continental”), for the benefit of such Wanshun Shareholders, pursuant to an escrow agreement among PubCo, Continental
and Mr. Zhou Zhengqing, as the representative of the Wanshun Shareholders. Each Wanshun Shareholder (other than dissenting Wanshun shareholders)
shall be shown as the registered owner of its pro rata portion (the “Pro Rata Portion”) of the Escrowed Earnout Shares on
the books and records of PubCo and shall be entitled to exercise voting rights and all share rights with respect to such Escrowed Earnout
Shares. The Wanshun Shareholders shall each be entitled to receive their Pro Rata Portion of the Escrowed Earnout Shares as follows:
(a) in the event Wanshun’s revenue (reported on the top line of Wanshun’s profit and loss statement) (i) for the period from
January 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023 reflected in Wanshun’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 2023 and (ii) for the period from October 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 reflected in Wanshun’s reviewed consolidated
financial statements is, in the aggregate, equal to or greater than RMB 4,500,000,000 (the “Revenue Target”), the Escrowed
Earnout Shares will be released from the Earnout Escrow Account to the Wanshun Shareholders on the later of January 31, 2024 and the
Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) (the “Earnout Release Date”), and (b) if during the period
from the date of the Business Combination Agreement until the earlier termination of the Business Combination Agreement or the Closing
Date (the “Interim Period”), Wanshun obtains transaction financing in the aggregate amount of at least $ 215,000,000 , in the
form of firm written commitments from investors recognized and accepted by the Company or in the form of no less than $ 107,500,000 good
faith deposit made by investors for a private placement of equity, debt or other alternative financing to the Company, each Wanshun Shareholder
(other than holders of Dissenting Company Shares) shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Portion of the Earnout Shares on the Closing
Date, regardless of whether the Revenue Target is achieved.
For
additional information regarding the Transactions, the Business Combination Agreement and Wanshun, see the Current Reports on Form 8-K
filed by the Company with the SEC on August 14, 2023 and August 17, 2023.
Going
Concern Consideration and Management Liquidity Plans
As
of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash of $ 57,843 and working capital of $ 29,296 . Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, the
Company expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction
costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company expects that it will need additional capital to satisfy its
needs for paying these costs. Although certain of the Company’s initial shareholders or their affiliates may loan the Company funds,
there’s no guarantee that the Company will receive such funds. On August 11, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination
Agreement with Wanshun Technology Industrial Group Limited, but the Company cannot provide any assurance that its plan to consummate
an initial Business Combination within the relevant period will be successful.
In
connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management
believes that the Company will not have sufficient working capital to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of the initial
Business Combination or one year from the issuance date of this financial statements. There is no assurance that the Company’s
plan to consummate a business combination will be successful. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the relevant period, there
will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability
to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.
The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.
8
Risks
and Uncertainties
Management
continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could
have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the
specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statement has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“US GAAP”).
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take
advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging
growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm 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. 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 the financial statement in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s 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
statement.
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 statement, 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.
9
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.
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $ 57,843 and $ 659,035 , respectively.
Marketable
securities Held in Trust Account
At
September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which
are 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 which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. All of the Company’s
investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at
fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included
in interest income on investments held in trust account in the accompanying statement of operations. Except with respect to interest
earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to us to pay our tax obligations, unless and until the Company complete
our initial business combination, no proceeds held in the trust account will be available for our use, and interest income on investments
will be reinvested in U.S. government securities.
Income
earned on these investments will be fully reinvested into the investments held in Trust Account and therefore considered as an adjustment
to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash used in operating activities in the statements of cash flows. Such income reinvested will
be used to redeem all or a portion of the ordinary shares upon the completion of business combination.
As
of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $ 73,010,689 and $ 70,418,228 in investments held in the Trust Account, respectively,
including interest income of $ 954,788 and none for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, which were fully reinvested in
U.S. Treasury securities.
Offering
Costs associated with a Public Offering
The
Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A —
“ Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs of $ 3,734,630 were charged to additional paid-in capital upon completion of
the Initial Public Offering.
Common
Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The
Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “ Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity ”. Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured
at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the
control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control)
are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s
common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject
to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the common stock subject to possible
redemption in the amount of $ 73,010,689 and $ 70,380,000 , respectively, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’
equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

At
September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the common stock reflected in the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Income
Taxes
The
Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “ Income Taxes .” Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
to be realized.
ASC
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 recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30,
2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments,
accruals or material deviation from its position.
There
is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations,
income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statement.

Recent
Accounting Standards
In
August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, “ Debt — Debt with
Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
(Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) ,”
which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also
removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and
it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2022.
Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant
to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 6,000,000 Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of common
stock and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Common Stock upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination
one right (“Public Right”). Ten Public Rights will entitle the holder to one share of common stock (see Note 7). We will
not issue fractional shares and only whole shares will trade, so unless you purchase units in multiple of tens, you will not be able
to receive or trade the fractional shares underlying the rights. On December 29, 2022, EBC fully exercised their over-allotment option,
resulting in an additional 900,000 Units issued for an aggregate amount of $ 9,000,000 .
NOTE
4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private sale of 390,000 Private Placement Units. Each Unit
consists of one share of common stock and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one share of Common Stock upon the consummation of
the Company’s initial business combination (“Private Right”). The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units
were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business
Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be
used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). The Private Placement Units (including
the underlying securities) will not be transferable, assignable, or salable until the completion of a Business Combination, subject to
certain exceptions.
In
connection with EBC’s full exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also consummated the sale of an additional 40,500
Private Units at $ 10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $ 405,000 .

NOTE
8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each
reporting period and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The
fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would
have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company
seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable
inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is
used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and
liabilities:
Level
1:
Quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions
for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level
2:
Observable
inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities
and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level
3:
Unobservable
inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The
Company classifies its securities in the Trust Account that are invested in funds, such as Mutual Funds or Money Market Funds, that primarily
invest in U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as Trading Securities in accordance with ASC Topic 320 “Investments - Debt and
Equity Securities. Trading Securities are recorded at fair market value on the accompanying balance sheet.
At
September 30, 2023, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $ 73,010,689 in a mutual fund that is invested primarily in U.S.
Treasury Securities. Through September 30, 2023, the Company did not withdraw any of the interest earned on the Trust Account.
The
following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September
30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such
fair value:
