Item
1A. Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required
by this Item. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements in this Report are
any of the risks described in our final prospectus for our initial public offering filed with the SEC and the risks described in this
Report and other reports we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any of these factors could result in a significant
or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or
that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

Below
is a partial list of material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on the Company and its operations:
●
we
are an early stage company with no revenue or basis to evaluate our ability to select a suitable business target;
●
we
may not be able to select an appropriate target business or businesses and complete our initial business combination in the prescribed
time frame;
●
past
performance by our management team or their respective affiliates may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in
us;
●
our
expectations around the performance of a prospective target business or businesses may not be realized;
●
we
may not be successful in retaining or recruiting required officers, key employees or directors following our initial business combination;
●
we
may seek acquisition opportunities in industries or sectors which may or may not be outside of our management’s area of expertise;
●
although
we have identified general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses, we
may enter into our initial business combination with a target that does not meet such criteria and guidelines, and, the target business
with which we enter into our initial business combination may not have attributes entirely consistent with our general criteria and
guidelines;
●
our
officers and directors may have difficulties allocating their time between the Company and other businesses and may potentially have
conflicts of interest with our business or in approving our initial business combination;
●
we
may not be able to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination or reduce number of shareholders requesting
redemption;
●
we
may issue our shares to investors in connection with our initial business combination at a price that is less than the prevailing
market price of our shares at that time;
●
if
the conditions to closing contained in the Business Combination Agreement we entered into in December 2023, are not met or waived,
the business combination may not occur;
●
you
may not be given the opportunity to choose the initial business target or to vote on the initial business combination;
●
trust
account funds may not be protected against third party claims or bankruptcy;
●
an
active market for our public securities’ may not develop and you will have limited liquidity and trading;
●
the
availability to us of funds from interest income on the trust account balance may be insufficient to operate our business prior to
the business combination;
●
our
financial performance following a business combination with an entity may be negatively affected by their lack an established record
of revenue, cash flows and experienced management;
●
various
macro economic conditions, geopolitical events and international conflicts beyond our control could result in market volatility that
could adversely affect our stock price and may impact our financial condition and search for a target company; and
●
our
independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a “going concern.”
