The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This quarterly report, including statements under this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” includes forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not a forward-looking statement. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements. For information identifying some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the discussion under the headings “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in our final prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 11, 2025. The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Overview We are a blank check company incorporated on November 1, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company with no material operations of our own. We were 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 as our initial business combination. We may pursue an initial business combination in any business or industry but expect to focus on biotechnology, healthcare and technology companies. Our units include shares of a Cayman Islands blank check company instead of the shares of the operating entities with whom we may combine. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering and the private placement of the private placement units, 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 following the consummation of the 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, other securities issuances, or a combination of the foregoing. The issuance of additional shares in connection with a business combination to the owners of the target or other investors: ● may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the initial public offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares; ● may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A ordinary shares; ● could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our Class A ordinary shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; ● may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and ● may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A ordinary shares and/or warrants. 17 Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in: ● default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations; ● acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant; ● our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; ● our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding; ● using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes; ● limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate; ● increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and ● limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt. Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from November 1, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025 relates to organizational activities, our initial public offering, and, subsequent to the initial public offering, our pursuit of an initial business combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents after the initial public offering. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements. We have incurred, and expect to incur, increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. Additionally, we expect our expenses to increase substantially after identifying a target for our initial business combination. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had net income of $444,392, which consisted of $556,881 of interest income on the trust account, offset by $89,301 of formation, general and administrative expenses, $12,723 of legal and accounting expenses, $6,333 of administrative support fees, and $4,132 of insurance expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net income of $368,570, which consisted of $556,881 of interest income on the trust account, offset by $165,123 of formation, general and administrative expenses, $12,723 of legal and accounting expenses, $6,333 of administrative support fees, and $4,132 of insurance expense. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had cash of $1,039,666 and $0, respectively, and working capital (deficit) of $1,053,059 and $(48,541), respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in by operating activities was $87,484. Net income of $368,570 was increased by $101,708 of formation, general and administrative costs paid by the Sponsor under the promissory note, and decreased by $556,881 of interest income on the trust account and an $881 decrease in operating assets and liabilities. Our liquidity needs have been satisfied to date through the purchase of founder shares from our Sponsor for $25,000, $300,000 in loans from our Sponsor, and proceeds generated from our initial public offering and simultaneous private placement that generated gross proceeds of $259,830,000. 18 Following the closing of the initial public offering, on June 11, 2025, an amount of $253,000,000 ($10.00 per unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the Private Placement Units, was placed in the trust account, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. The funds are initially to be held in cash, including demand deposit accounts at a bank, or invested only in 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 Investment Company Act, which 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 we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the trust account, we may, at any time (based on management team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to the 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. 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 the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement units will not be released from the trust account 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 the initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of the initial public offering or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors may approve (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 the 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. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our public shareholders. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions). We may withdraw interest to pay our taxes, if any (but without deduction for any excise or similar tax that may be due or payable). Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. We expect the interest earned on the amount in the trust account will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our 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 or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. As of June 30, 2025, we have $1,039,666 of proceeds outside of the trust account. We will use these funds to primarily 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. We do not anticipate that we will need to raise additional funds following the initial public offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial business combination. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use amounts 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 $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private placement units of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the private placement units. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. 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. 19 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of June 30, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations. No unaudited quarterly operating data is included in this report as we have not conducted any operations to date. Contractual Obligations We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement for our initial public offering, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.50% of the gross proceeds of the initial public offering held in the trust account, or $8,855,000 in the aggregate, payable to BTIG, LLC to be deposited in the trust account and released to BTIG, LLC only upon the completion of an initial business combination. The deferred underwriting commissions will be payable as follows: (i) $0.30 per Unit sold in the initial public offering will be paid to BTIG, LLC in cash upon the closing of the initial business combination and (ii) $0.05 per Unit sold in the initial public offering will be payable to BTIG, LLC in cash, provided that the Company and the Sponsor have the right, in the Company and the Sponsor’s discretion, to reallocate any portion of the Allocable Amount to third parties not participating in the initial public offering (but who are members of FINRA) that assist the Company in consummating the initial business combination. We have entered into an administrative services agreement with an affiliate of the Sponsor pursuant to which we are required to pay $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative services, commencing on effective date of the initial public offering, through the earlier of our initial business combination and our liquidation. Commitments and Contingencies Registration rights The holders of the (i) founder shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the initial public offering, (ii) Private Placement Units (and the securities comprising such units and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) which will be issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering and (iii) Private Placement Units (and the securities comprising such units and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them and any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of an initial business combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on the effective date of the initial public offering. The holders of these securities will be 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 an initial business combination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, BTIG, LLC may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning the commencement of sales of the Company’s initial public offering. In addition, BTIG, LLC may participate in a “piggy-back” registration only during the seven-year period beginning the commencement of sales of the Company’s initial public offering. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Underwriting Agreement We granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the initial public offering to purchase up to an additional 3,300,000 units to cover over-allotments which was exercised in full on the date of the initial public offering. The underwriters were entitled to cash underwriting discount of 2.00% of the gross proceeds of the units offered in the initial public offering, or $5,060,000 in the aggregate, which was paid to the underwriters upon the closing of the initial public offering. Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.50% of the gross proceeds of the initial public offering held in the trust account, or $8,855,000 in the aggregate, payable to BTIG, LLC to be deposited in the trust account and released to BTIG, LLC only upon the completion of an initial business combination. The deferred underwriting commissions will be payable as follows: (i) $0.30 per Unit sold in the initial public offering will be paid to BTIG, LLC in cash upon the closing of the initial business combination and (ii) $0.05 per Unit sold in the initial public offering will be payable to BTIG, LLC in cash, provided that the Company and the Sponsor have the right, in the Company and the Sponsor’s discretion, to reallocate any portion of the Allocable Amount to third parties not participating in the initial public offering (but who are members of FINRA) that assist the Company in consummating the initial business combination. 20 Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of 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 not identified any critical accounting estimates as of June 30, 2025. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Refer to Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Financial Statements. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk As smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.
