Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a
Cayman Islands exempted company and 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, which we refer to throughout this Report as our
initial business combination. We may pursue an initial business combination target in any industry and geographic location. As of the
date of the filing of this Report, we have not selected any specific business combination target. While we may pursue an initial business
combination target in any industry or geographic location, we intend to focus our search on international businesses that would benefit
in valuation arbitrage by going public in the United States on a U.S. national securities exchange. We currently intend to focus our search
for an initial business combination target in the following key verticals: (i) Electronic Commerce, (ii) Financial Technology, (iii) Software
as a Service, (iv) Renewable Energy, (v) Mining, and (vi) Information Technology, or IT, and IT-Enabled Services. Our current intended
geographic focus is the Asia-Pacific, and the Europe, Middle East and Africa, regions.
On October 1, 2025, we consummated our, initial
public offering, or our Initial Public Offering, of 5,750,000 units, or the Public Units, including 750,000 Public Units issued upon the
full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Each Public Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001 par
value per share, or Class A Ordinary Share, and one right, or Public Right, with each one Public Right entitling the holder thereof to
receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of our initial business combination. The Public Units were
sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57,500,000. In connection with the Initial Public Offering,
we also issued 230,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, or the Representative Shares, to a designee of the underwriter in our Initial Public Offering,
as part of the underwriting compensation in our Initial Public Offering.
Simultaneously with the closing of our Initial
Public Offering, pursuant to a units purchase agreement between us and StoneBridge Acquisition Sponsor II LLC, or our sponsor, and
certain subscription agreements between us and certain at-risk capital investors, we completed the private sale, or the Private Placement,
of an aggregate of 153,750 units, or the Private Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating aggregate gross proceeds of
$1,537,500. Each Private Unit consisted of one Class A Ordinary Share and one right, or Private Right, with each one Private Right entitling
the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A Ordinary Share upon the consummation of our initial business combination.
No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale.
We intend to effectuate our initial business combination
using cash from the proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares
and debt.
We have until the date that is 18 months from
the closing of our Initial Public Offering (or April 1, 2027) or until such earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may
approve, to consummate our initial business combination. However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business
combination within such 18 months, we may extend the period of time to consummate an initial business combination up to two times, each
by an additional three months (for a total of up to 24 months, or until October 1, 2027, to complete an initial business combination).
The aforementioned extensions do not require shareholder approval. Pursuant to the terms of our amended and restated memorandum and articles
of association and the trust agreement between us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, or Continental, entered into in
connection with our Initial Public Offering, in order to extend the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination,
our sponsor or its affiliates or designees, upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the trust
account established in connection with our Initial Public Offering, or the Trust Account, $575,000 ($0.10 per share) on or prior to the
date of the applicable deadline, for each three month extension (or up to an aggregate of $1,150,000, or $0.20 per share, if we extend
for the full six months). Any such payments would be made in the form of a loan. Any such loans will be non-interest bearing and payable
upon the consummation of our initial business combination, and then only from the amount remaining in the Trust Account after redemptions
in connection with our initial business combination. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts
out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us after redemptions in connection with our initial business combination. If we do
not complete a business combination, we will not repay such loans. Our sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund
the Trust Account to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination.
21
If we anticipate that we may be unable to consummate our initial business combination within the deadlines described in the immediately preceding paragraph, we may seek shareholder approval to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. There are no limitations on the number of times we may seek shareholder approval for an extension or the length of time of any such extension. If we seek shareholder approval for an extension, holders of our public shares will be offered an opportunity to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or vote against, 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 thereon (net of income taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the completion window, or by such earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may approve, we will redeem 100% of our 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 thereon (net of income taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of interest income to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the public shares and completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other distributions, if any), subject to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject to other requirements of applicable law.
Following the closing of our Initial Public Offering
and the Private Placement, an amount of $57,500,000 ($10.00 per unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Units in our Initial
Public Offering and the Private Units in the Private Placement was placed in the Trust Account. The funds in the Trust Account have been,
and will be, invested or held only in (i) U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market
funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company
Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, or (ii) an interest bearing bank demand deposit account or other
accounts at a bank. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest
earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released
to us to pay our taxes, if any), to complete our initial business combination.
Except with respect to interest earned on the
funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, the proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and
Private Placement held in the Trust Account will not be released until the earliest of (i) the completion of our initial business combination,
(ii) the redemption of our public shares if we are unable to complete our initial business combination within the completion window, subject
to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of our public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our
amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) 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.
We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a business combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor
generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since June 19, 2024 (the date of our inception) through March 31, 2026 were organizational
activities, those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, and subsequent to our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target
company for a business combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination.
We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from our Initial Public Offering and the Private
Placement held in the Trust Account. We incur, and expect to continue to incur, expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal,
financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as expenses as we conduct due diligence on prospective business combination
candidates.
22
For
the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had net income of $387,601, which consisted of interest income and dividend income on investments
on funds held in the Trust Account, partially offset by general and administrative expenses of $126,942.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we
had net income of $20, which consisted solely of bank interest income. As we had not yet commenced our Initial Public Offering during
that period, no operating expenses were recognized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of our Initial Public Offering,
our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of founder shares by our sponsor and advances from our sponsor.
On October 1, 2025, we consummated our Initial
Public Offering of 5,750,000 Public Units, including 750,000 Public Units issued upon the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment
option, at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our Initial
Public Offering, we completed the Private Placement of an aggregate of 153,750 Private Units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating
aggregate gross proceeds of $1,537,500.
Following the closing of our Initial Public Offering
and the Private Placement, an amount of $57,500,000 ($10.00 per unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Units in our Initial
Public Offering and the Private Units in the Private Placement was placed in the Trust Account.
Transaction costs relating to our Initial Public
Offering amounted to $3,063,880, consisting of $287,500 of cash underwriting commissions, $2,300,000 of fair value of the Representative
Shares issued to the underwriter’s designee, and $476,380 of other offering costs.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $174,132. The operating cash outflows consisted primarily
of payments for professional services including legal, accounting, audit, and administrative support fees, partially offset by trust
interest and dividend income received in the operating account. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in operating
activities was $6,360, consisting of payments for operating expenses and administrative support fees.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, there
were no financing activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $6,380, consisting
of proceeds from a promissory note from our sponsor, partially offset by payment
of deferred offering costs.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no investing activities.
As of March 31, 2026, we had assets held in the Trust account of $58,558,815, consisting of money market funds. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, which interest shall be net of interest earned on the Trust Account that may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete an initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash of $329,698. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a business combination, and to pay for directors and officers liability insurance premiums. We could use a portion of the funds held outside the Trust Account to pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so. If we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific business combination and the amount of our available funds at the time.
23
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts at that time. Up to $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be converted into units of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Units. As of March 31, 2026, we had no borrowings under the working capital loans.
We may need to obtain additional financing to
complete our initial business combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held
in the Trust Account or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of the business
combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. In addition,
we intend to target businesses with enterprise values that are greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds of our Initial Public
Offering and Private Placement, and, as a result, if the cash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the Trust
Account, net of amounts needed to satisfy any redemptions by public shareholders, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete
such proposed initial business combination. We may also obtain financing prior to the closing of our initial business combination to fund
our working capital needs and transaction costs in connection with our search for and completion of our initial business combination.
There is no limitation on our ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities or through loans, advances
or other indebtedness in connection with our initial business combination, including pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop
agreements we may enter into. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available
to us, we will be forced to liquidate the Trust Account.
Going Concern Consideration
As of March 31, 2026, our cash balance was $329,698 and we had working capital of $422,164. We have not commenced any operating activities and do not generate operating revenues. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition strategy and in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Report are issued. There is no assurance that our plans to consummate an initial business combination will be successful or successful within the completion window. The unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Report do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to consummate an initial business combination to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Related Party Transactions
Refer to “ Note 5—Related Party Transactions ” in the unaudited condensed financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of our sponsor a fee of $10,000 per month for administrative and support services. Upon completion of our initial business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. No amounts were incurred or accrued under this arrangement as of March 31, 2026.
24
Our sponsor had agreed to loan us an aggregate
of up to $800,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of our Initial Public Offering. The loan was non-interest bearing and unsecured.
The loan was evidenced by a promissory note, and was payable on the earlier of December 31, 2025 or the date on which we consummated an
initial public offering of our securities. In connection with the completion of our Initial Public Offering, we repaid substantially all
amounts outstanding under the promissory note. As of March 31, 2026, an amount of $22 remained outstanding under the promissory note.
Borrowings under the promissory note are no longer available.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related
disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of
expenses during the reporting periods. 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. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed financial statements included
elsewhere in this Report.
Class A Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
Our public shares contain a redemption feature
which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with our liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender
offer in connection with our initial business combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, we classify our public shares subject to
redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within our control. We recognize changes in redemption
value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each
reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of our Initial Public Offering, we recognized the accretion from initial book value to
redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to
the extent available) and accumulated surplus (deficit). Accordingly, as of March 31, 2026, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible
redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our balance sheet. As
of March 31, 2026, the Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the
following table:

Net Income Per Ordinary Share
We have two classes of shares, being Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, or Class B Ordinary Shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. We comply with the accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. We did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in our earnings. As a result, diluted income per ordinary share is the same as basic income per ordinary share for the year presented.

Derivative Financial Instruments
We evaluate our 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 underwriter’s over-allotment option in our Initial Public Offering was fully exercised at the time of our Initial
Public Offering and therefore we did not have any derivative financial instruments outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Rights
We account for our Public Rights and Private Rights in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, we evaluated and classified our rights under equity treatment at its assigned value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We adopted ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. As we operate as a single reportable segment, adoption had no material impact.
We
adopted ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, effective January 1, 2026. Given we
are incorporated in the Cayman Islands and are not subject to income taxes, this standard had no impact on the unaudited condensed
financial statements.
ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
