Use of Proceeds
On
December 22, 2025, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 units. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and
one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to us
of $150,000,000. Cohen & Company Capital Markets served as sole book-running manager for our Initial Public Offering.
The securities sold in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registratio n
statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-289690). The SEC declared the registration statements effective on December 18, 2025.
On
December 22, 2025 and simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, our sponsor purchased 5,300,000 private placement
warrants at a price of $0.50 per warrant and Cohen & Company Capital Markets, the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering,
purchased 1,764,706 private placement warrants at a price of $0.85 per warrant, generating aggregate gross proceeds to us of $4,150,000.

in the Initial Public Offering) was placed in the trust account.
There
has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from such use as described in the Company’s final prospectus (File No. 333-289690)

The
following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data” of this Annual Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking
statements. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual
results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those
set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factor Summary,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors”
and elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Overview
We
are a blank check company incorporated on June 13, 2025 under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited
liability and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or
similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not,
nor has anyone on our behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with
respect to an initial business combination with us. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds
of our Initial Public Offering and the private placement of the private placement warrants, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in
connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into prior
to or following the consummation of our Initial Public Offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued
to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.
We
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 from June 13, 2025 (inception)
through December 31, 2025 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below,
and subsequent to our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for our initial business combination. We do not expect to
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 held in the trust account. We incur expenses as a result
of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
62
For the period from June 13,
2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, we had net income of $145,831, which consisted of change on over-allotment liability
of $126,000 and income on investments held in trust account of $109,781 partially offset by general and administrative cost of $89,950.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until
the consummation of our Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial
purchase of shares of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, by our sponsor and loans from our sponsor.
On
December 22, 2025, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 units. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and
one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to us
of $150,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, our sponsor purchased 5,300,000 private placement warrants
at a price of $0.50 per warrant and Cohen & Company Capital Markets, the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering, purchased
1,764,706 private placement warrants at a price of $0.85 per warrant, generating aggregate gross proceeds to us of $4,150,000.
In
connection with the Initial Public Offering, we incurred offering costs of approximately $9,790,284 (including $6,000,000 of deferred
underwriting fee). Other incurred offering costs consisted principally of preparation fees related to the Initial Public Offering. After
deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the deferred portion, which amount will be payable upon consummation of
the initial business combination, if consummated) and the Initial Public Offering expenses, $150,000,000 of the proceeds from
our Initial Public Offering and from the private placement of the private placement warrants (or $10.00 per unit sold in the Initial Public
Offering) was placed in the trust account.
For
the period from June 13, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, cash used in operating
activities was $7,602 . Net income of $145,831 was
affected by change in fair value of over-allotment option liability of $126,000 and income in investments held in trust account
of $109,781 and partially offset by payment of formation costs through promissory note of $867
and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $81,481 .
As
of December 31, 2025, we had cash held in trust account of $150,000,000 . We may withdraw
interest from the trust account to pay income taxes and up to $100,000 to pay dissolution expenses. We intend to use substantially all
of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (less permitted withdrawals),
to complete our business combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete
our business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of
the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. For the period from June 13, 2025 (inception)
through December 31, 2025 and up to March 23, 2026, we did not withdraw any interest
earned on the cash held in trust account, for working capital purposes.
As
of December 31, 2025, we had cash at bank of $683,798 for working capital purpose. 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, and structure, negotiate and complete
a business combination.
In
order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with our initial business combination, 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
a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a business combination does not close, we may use a portion
of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used
for such repayment. Up to $2,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into private placement warrants of the post business combination
entity at a price of $0.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants.
The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As
of December 31, 2025, there were no amounts outstanding under the working capital loan. Prior to the completion of our initial
business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe
third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust
account.
63
We
do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However,
if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business.
We
initially have until December 22, 2027 to consummate our initial business combination (assume no extensions). If we do not complete our
initial business combination, we may trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of our amended
and restated memorandum and articles of association. Notwithstanding management’s belief that we would have sufficient funds to
execute its business strategy, there is a possibility that business combination might not happen during the completion window.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets
or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2025. 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.
Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term
debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations, off-balance sheet arrangements or long-term
liabilities other than described as below.
Administrative Service
Fee
We entered into an agreement
with our sponsor on December 18, 2025, pursuant to which we agreed to pay our sponsor up to $2,500 per month for office space, utilities,
secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of our management team. For the period from June 13,
2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, we did not incur any fee for these services.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriter was entitled
to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per unit, or 2%, or $3,000,000 in aggregate, paid at the closing of our Initial Public Offering.
In addition, the underwriter
is entitled to a deferred fee of up to $0.40 per unit, or 4% of the gross proceeds of the offering, or up to $6,000,000 in the aggregate.
The deferred fee will be payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the trust account solely in the event that the Company completes
a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, and such deferred fee shall be due to the underwriter solely
on amounts remaining in the trust account following all properly submitted shareholder redemptions, including in connection with the consummation
of our initial business combination.
Registration Rights
The holders of the (i) founder
shares, (ii) private placement warrants, and (iii) private placement warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working
capital loans will have registration rights to require us to register a sale of any of our securities held by them pursuant to a registration
rights agreement signed on the effective date of our Initial Public Offering.
The holders of these securities
are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have
certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our
initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the financial
statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially
differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting estimates:
Recent Accounting Standards
Our management does not believe
that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial
statements.
Item 7.A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.
