Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures
that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within
the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current
chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures as of December 31, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing as well as the material
weakness identified below regarding our internal controls over financial reporting, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
We do not expect that our
disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how
well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures
are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the
benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no
evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and
instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood
of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
As required by SEC rules
and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Our
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, and accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions of our company,
(2) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US
GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and
Because of its inherent limitations,
internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial statements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting on December 31, 2025. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013).
Based on our assessments
and those criteria, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2025 due to the material weaknesses in our internal controls due to inadequate segregation of duties within account processes due to limited
personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record keeping. These material weaknesses include:
- lack of management oversight of third-party consultants;
and
- deficiencies in the expense accrual process.
Following the identification
of the material weakness, we plan to take remedial measures including:
- implement a robust review and approval checklist to ensure
the accuracy and GAAP compliance of all consultant-prepared workpapers; and
- implement a formal “Search for Unrecorded Liabilities”
procedure during the month-end close, including fully reviewing all open invoices, confirming with vendors about outstanding balances,
or searching transactions occurrence date from subsequent cash disbursement.
In light of
this material weakness, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows
for the period presented.
This Annual Report on Form
10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth
company under the JOBS Act.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered
by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

19
Management’s prior experience in SPACs
Our director, Mr. Snyder,
is the Chairman, CEO and director of Pantages Capital Acquisition Corporation (“PGAC”), a Cayman Islands SPAC listed on the
Nasdaq Global Market currently in business combination with an Australian mining company. In addition, our Chief Financial Officer and
director, Mr. Graj, is a director of PGAC.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
our officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs and will allocate their time to other businesses,
and the collective experience of our officers and with blank check companies like ours is not significant. We presently expect each of
our employees to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business (which could range from only a few hours
a week while we are trying to locate a potential target business to a majority of their time as we move into serious negotiations with
a target business for a business combination). The past successes of our executive officers and directors do not guarantee that we will
successfully consummate an initial business combination. In addition, the members of the management team may not remain with us subsequent
to the consummation of a business combination.
Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
Our board of directors consists
of five members. Our board of directors is divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year, and
with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of shareholders) serving a three-year term:
Class I, with a term expiring at the first annual general meeting — David Mao; Class II, with a term expiring
at the second annual general meeting — William W. Snyder and Robert H. Grigsby; and Class III, with a term
expiring at the third annual general meeting — Timothy Lim and Evan M. Graj. Prior to the completion of an initial
business combination, any vacancies on our board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present
and voting at the meeting of our board of directors or by a majority of the holders of our insider shares. After completion of the business
combination, subject to any other special rights applicable to the shareholders, any vacancies on our board of directors may be filled
by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present and voting at the meeting of our board of directors or by a majority of
the holders of our ordinary shares.
Our officers are appointed by the board of directors
and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized
to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as it deems appropriate.
Our second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that our officers may consist of a Chairman, a Chief Executive
Officer, a President, a Chief Operating Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, a Secretary, Assistant Secretaries, a Treasurer
and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.
20
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors has
two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee.
Audit Committee
Under the NASDAQ listing standards and applicable
SEC rules, we are required to have three members of the audit committee all of whom must be independent. We have established an audit
committee of the board of directors, which consists of Mr. Snyder, Mr. Mao, and Mr. Grigsby, each of whom is an independent
director under NASDAQ’s listing standards. Mr. Mao is the Chairperson of the audit committee. The audit committee’s duties,
which are specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:
The audit committee is responsible
for:
● meeting
with our independent registered public accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits, and adequacy of our accounting and control
systems;
● monitoring
the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;
● verifying
the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible
for reviewing the audit as required by law;
● inquiring
and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
● pre-approving
all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the
fees and terms of the services to be performed;
● appointing
or replacing the independent registered public accounting firm;
● determining
the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements
between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report
or related work;
● establishing
procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or
reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies;
● monitoring
compliance on a quarterly basis and, if any non-compliance is identified, immediately taking all action necessary to rectify such non-compliance
or otherwise causing compliance; and
● reviewing
and approving all payments made to our existing shareholders, executive officers or directors and their respective affiliates. Any payments
made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with the interested director or directors
abstaining from such review and approval.
The audit committee will at all times be composed
exclusively of independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined under NASDAQ listing standards. NASDAQ
listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including
a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.
In addition, we must certify to NASDAQ that the
committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional
certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication.
The board of directors has determined that Mr. Mao is qualified as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined
under rules and regulations of the SEC.
21
Compensation Committee
We have established a compensation committee of
the board of directors, which consists of Mr. Snyder, Mr. Mao, and Mr. Grigsby, each of whom is an independent director
under NASDAQ’s listing standards. Mr. Snyder is the Chairperson of the compensation committee. The compensation committee’s
duties, which are specified in our Compensation Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:
The compensation committee
is responsible for:
●
reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer’s based on such evaluation;
●
reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other executive officers;
●
reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;
●
implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
●
assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
●
approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;
●
if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
●
reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
22
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of our executive officers
currently serves, and in the past year has not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive
officers serving on our board of directors.
Director Nominations
We do not have a standing
nominating committee. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend
a director nominee for selection by the board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily
carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee.
As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.
The board of directors will
also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees
to stand for election at the next annual meeting of shareholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of shareholders).
We have not formally established
any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying
and evaluating nominees for director, our board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge
of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of
Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request
from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Clawback Policy
We have adopted a clawback
policy that applies to our executive officers (the “Clawback Policy”), which is filed herewith as Exhibit 97.1.
The Clawback Policy gives
the Compensation Committee the discretion, in connection with an accounting restatement of our previously issued financial statements,
to require executive officers to reimburse us for any erroneously awarded compensation paid to such executive officers that otherwise
would not have been paid had it been determined based on the financial statements.
Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an insider trading policy that applies to our executive officers (the “Insider Trading Policy”), which is filed herewith as Exhibit 19.1.
Availability of Documents
We have filed a copy of our
Code of Ethics and our audit committee charter as exhibits to the registration statement relating to our IPO. You will be able to review
these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. We intend to disclose any amendments to or
waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Executive Officer and Director Compensation
We entered into an offer
letter dated May 21, 2024, with our CFO and Director, Evan Graj, for compensation of$5,000 per month in cash and $6,000 per month in cash
for the post-IPO period, commencing from the date of the offer letter until the earlier of (i) the termination of the offer letter; (ii)
the date that the Company consummates an initial business combination; (iii) the date the Company is wound up; or (iv) the date that he
vacates his positions or he is removed or disqualified from his positions pursuant to the Company’s Current Charter.
On May 11, 2025, the Company
executed an amendment to the offer letter by and between the CFO and the Company (the amendment, collectively, “Amendment”),
to revise the terms of the management compensation. Effective on May 11, 2025, the Amendments provide that: the CFO shall receive (i)
monthly cash compensation of $5,000 for three months from the date of the offer letter until the IPO is consummated, (ii) monthly cash
compensation of $5,000 for three months from the date the IPO is consummated and 90th date after the closing of the IPO, (iii) $15,000
upon the entry of a definitive agreement by the Company, (iv) $15,000 upon the closing of our initial business combination.
We entered into an offer
letter dated October 17, 2025, with our CEO, Chairman and Director, Timothy Lim, commencing from the date of the offer letter until the
earlier of (i) the termination of the offer letter; (ii) the date that the Company consummates an initial business combination; (iii)
the date the Company is wound up; or (iv) the date that he vacates his positions or he is removed or disqualified from his positions pursuant
to the Company’s Current Charter, Mr. Lim shall receive $13,250 if and when the Company enters into a definitive agreement with
a target company and another $13,250 if and when the Company consummates an initial business combination with a target company.
As of December 31, 2025 and
December 31, 2024, Mr. Lim has received $0 in compensation, and Mr. Graj has received $15,000 and $15,000 in compensation, respectively.
Other than as set forth elsewhere
in this report, none of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Our Sponsor
HoldCo, sponsor, executive officers and directors, or their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable initial
business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our Sponsor HoldCo, sponsor,
executive officers or directors, or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using funds
held outside the trust account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not expect to have any additional
controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other
than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the
company to our Sponsor HoldCo, sponsor, executive officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our initial
business combination.
After the completion of our
initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees
from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation
materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed initial business combination. We have
not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management.
It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed initial business combination, because the directors
of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to
be paid to our executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation
committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.
We do not intend to take
any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business
combination, although it is possible that some or all of our executive officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements
to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to
retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do
not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a
determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our executive
officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

On May 15, 2024, our CFO, Mr. Evan Graj, acquired 60,000 founder shares for
a purchase price of $695.
(3)
On May 27, 2025, our Sponsor HoldCo entered into a securities transfer agreement
pursuant to which the Sponsor HoldCo agrees to transfer an aggregate of 60,000 founder shares to our independent directors, or 20,000
founder shares to each director, for an aggregated purchase price of $695.
(4)
On August 12, 2025, the board of directors were informed that Mr. Sunny Kah Wei Tan, the director of the Sponsor and manager of the Sponsor HoldCo, has passed away. According to the company’s understanding of applicable Cayman Islands law, the director position of the Sponsor and manager position of the Sponsor HoldCo would be vacated until an executor or administrator is appointed by a Cayman Islands court. In addition, absent an appointment of an executor or administrator by the Cayman Islands court, no natural person may exercise any rights conferred by the memorandum and articles of association of the Sponsor as a shareholder thereof, or any rights conferred by the HoldCo agreement of the Sponsor HoldCo as a member thereof. The Company understands that Ms. Teo Li Chen, the surviving spouse of Mr. Tan, is exploring legal options to assume control over Mr. Tan’s assets in the Sponsor and Sponsor HoldCo. Before his death, Mr. Tan was the director of the Sponsor and manager of the Sponsor HoldCo, which entitled him to have voting, dispositive or investment powers over the sponsor and Sponsor HoldCo.
25
As of the date hereof, our
initial shareholders beneficially owned approximately 20% of issued and outstanding ordinary shares and have the right to appoint all
of our directors prior to our initial business combination. Holders of our Public Shares will not have the right to appoint any directors
to our board of directors prior to our initial business combination. Because of this ownership block, our sponsor may be able to effectively
influence the outcome of all other matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including amendments to our memorandum and articles
of association effective at the time and approval of significant corporate transactions including our initial business combination.
Our Sponsor HoldCo has agreed
(a) to vote any founder shares and Public Shares held by it in favor of any proposed initial business combination and (b) not to redeem
any founder shares or Public Shares held by it in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination.
Our Sponsor HoldCo, sponsor,
our officers, and our directors are deemed to be our “promoters” as such term is defined under the federal securities laws.
Transfers of Founder Shares
The founder shares, Private
Placement Units, Private Placement Shares, and any Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof are each subject
to transfer restrictions pursuant to lock-up provisions in the agreements entered into by our insiders. Our insiders have agreed not to
transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until (1) with respect to 50% of the founder shares, the earlier of six months
after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination and the date on which the closing price of our ordinary shares
equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and
the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after our initial business combination and (2) with
respect to the remaining 50% of the founder shares, six months after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination,
or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a liquidation, merger, share exchange or
other similar transaction which results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other
property.
The Private Placement Units
and the securities within the units are not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of our initial business combination.
The foregoing restrictions
are not applicable for transfers (i) among the insiders or to the Company’s insiders’ members, officers, directors, consultants
or their affiliates, (ii) to a holder’s shareholders or members upon the holder’s liquidation, in each case if the holder
is an entity, (iii) by bona fide gift to a member of the holder’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which
is the holder or a member of the holder’s immediate family, in each case for estate planning purposes, (iv) by virtue of the
laws of descent and distribution upon death, (v) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (vi) to the Company for no
value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of a business combination, (vii) in connection with the consummation of
a business combination, (viii) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to its consummation of an initial business combination
or (ix) in the event that, subsequent to the consummation of an initial business combination, the Company completes a liquidation,
merger, capital share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right
to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property, in each case (except for clauses (vi), (viii) or (ix) or
with the Company’s prior written consent). If dividends are declared and payable in ordinary shares, such dividends will also be
placed in lock-up. If we are unable to effect an initial business combination and liquidate the trust account, none of our insiders will
receive any portion of the liquidation proceeds with respect to their founder shares.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director
Independence.
Founder Share Issuance
On April 18, 2024,
the Company issued 2,156,250 Class B ordinary shares, par value of $0.0001 each (the “Class B insider shares”), to
the Sponsor for a purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.012 per share. On June 27, 2024, the Company issued additional
4,521,169 Class B ordinary shares, at par value of $452, which is accounted for as a nominal issuance to the sponsor. In total,
an aggregate 6,677,419 Class B ordinary shares were issued to the Sponsor, at a per-share price of approximately $0.004 per
share. On February 25, 2025, the Sponsor agreed to transfer all the insider shares it held to Sponsor HoldCo as capital
contribution, in exchange for the issuance of 100 membership interests to the Sponsor and for the admission of the Sponsor as
the sole member of the Sponsor HoldCo. On April 30, 2025, the Sponsor agreed to surrender 4,507,258 insider shares it held, as a
result of which the Sponsor HoldCo owns 2,010,161 insider shares. On May 21, 2025, Sponsor HoldCo converted 800,000 Class B ordinary
shares, par value $0.0001 per share, on a one-for-one basis to 800,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per
share (the “Class A insider shares”, with the Class B insider shares, the “insider shares”). As a result,
the Sponsor HoldCo owns 800,000 Class A insider shares and 1,150,161 Class B insider shares.
On May 15, 2024, the Sponsor entered into a securities transfer agreement,
pursuant to which the Sponsor transferred 60,000 Class B insider shares at the purchase price of $695 to Evan M. Graj, the CFO and
director of the Company.
On May 27, 2025, our Sponsor HoldCo entered into a securities transfer
agreement pursuant to which the Sponsor HoldCo agrees to transfer an aggregate of 60,000 founder shares to our independent directors,
or 20,000 founder shares to each director, for an aggregated purchase price of $695.
Sale of Private Placement Units
On May 29, 2025, substantially
concurrently with the closing of the IPO of the Company, the Company completed the private sale of 230,000 Private Units to the Sponsor
HoldCo. Each Private Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share and one right. The Private Units were sold at a purchase price of $10.00
per Private Units, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $2,300,000.
Working Capital Note
In order to meet our
working capital needs following the consummation of our initial public offering or to extend our life, our insiders, officers and
directors and their respective affiliates/designees may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time,
in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would
either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to
$3,000,000 of the notes, or the “working capital notes,” may be converted upon consummation of our initial business
combination into working capital units at a price of $10.00 per unit, or the “Working Capital Units.” In addition, our
insiders, officers and directors or their affiliates or designees may loan us funds in support of our potential extension to allow
additional time for us to complete an initial business combination which will be evidenced in extension convertible notes, or the
“extension notes,” to be repaid in cash or $10.00 per unit, or the “Extension Units,” at the closing of our
initial business combination. If we do not complete our initial business combination, the loans would be repaid out of funds not
held in the trust account, and only to the extent available. The Working Capital Units would be identical to the Private Placement
Units sold in the Private Placement. The terms of such loans by our sponsor or its affiliates, if any, have not been determined and
no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our insiders or an
affiliate of our insiders 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, but if we do, we will request such lender to provide a waiver against any
and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account.
After our initial business
combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company
with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy solicitation
materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution
of such tender offer materials or at the time of a shareholder meeting held to consider our initial business combination, as applicable,
as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.
On April 18, 2024, the
Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 (the “Promissory Note”) to be used for a portion of the expenses of the
IPO. As of May 29, 2025, the Company has an outstanding loan balance of $426,975. This Promissory Note is non-interest bearing, unsecured
and is due at the earlier of (1) August 31, 2025, or (2) the date on which the Company consummates an initial public offering
of its securities, unless accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. On July 7, 2025, the Company repaid $350,000 under
the Promissory Note to Sponsor and transferred the remaining balance of $76,975 to the Working Capital Loan. As of December 31, 2025
and December 31, 2024, the Company has an outstanding loan balance of $0 and $331,927, respectively.
27
On June 26, 2025, the Sponsor
HoldCo agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 to meet the Company’s working capital needs following the consummation of
the IPO. The loan was evidenced by a promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) that was non-interest bearing and unsecured,
and it was to be paid upon the earlier of (1) the date on which the Company consummates a business combination or merger with a qualified
target company, and (2) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The Sponsor HoldCo has the right, but not the obligation, to
convert this loan, in whole or in part, into private units of the Company, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share, one right to
receive one-eighth of one Class A ordinary share. The number of private units to be received by the Sponsor HoldCo in connection with
such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the Sponsor HoldCo
by (y) $10.00.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $151,671 and $0 borrowings
under the Working Capital Loans, respectively.
Offer Letters With Management
We entered into an offer
letter dated May 21, 2024, with our CFO and Director, Evan Graj, for compensation of$5,000 per month in cash and $6,000 per month in cash
for the post-IPO period, commencing from the date of the offer letter until the earlier of (i) the termination of the offer letter; (ii)
the date that the Company consummates an initial business combination; (iii) the date the Company is wound up; or (iv) the date that he
vacates his positions or he is removed or disqualified from his positions pursuant to the Company’s Current Charter.
On May 11, 2025, the Company
executed an amendment to the offer letter by and between the CFO and the Company (the amendment, collectively, “Amendment”),
to revise the terms of the management compensation. Effective on May 11, 2025, the Amendments provide that: the CFO shall receive (i)
monthly cash compensation of $5,000 for three months from the date of the offer letter until the IPO is consummated, (ii) monthly cash
compensation of $5,000 for three months from the date the IPO is consummated and 90th date after the closing of the IPO, (iii) $15,000
upon the entry of a definitive agreement by the Company, (iv) $15,000 upon the closing of our initial business combination.
We entered into an offer
letter dated October 17, 2025, with our CEO, Chiarman and Director, Timothy Lim, commencing from the date of the offer letter until the
earlier of (i) the termination of the offer letter; (ii) the date that the Company consummates an initial business combination; (iii)
the date the Company is wound up; or (iv) the date that she vacates his positions or he is removed or disqualified from his positions
pursuant to the Company’s Current Charter, Mr. Lim shall receive $13,250 if and when the Company enters into a definitive agreement
with a target company and another $13,250 if and when the Company consummates an initial business combination with a target company.
As of December 31, 2025 and
December 31, 2024, Mr. Lim has received $0 in compensation, and Mr. Graj has received $15,000 and $15,000 in compensation, respectively.
Other than as set forth
elsewhere in this report, none of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to
us. Our insiders, or their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable initial business
combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our sponsor, executive
officers or directors, or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using funds held
outside the trust account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not expect to have any
additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial
business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and
consulting fees, will be paid by the company to our sponsor, executive officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, prior
to completion of our initial business combination.
28
Policy for Approval of Related Party Transactions
The audit committee of our
board of directors has adopted a charter, providing for the review, approval and/or ratification of “related party transactions,”
which are those transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC, by the audit committee.
At its meetings, the audit committee shall be provided with the details of each new, existing, or proposed related party transaction,
including the terms of the transaction, any contractual restrictions that the company has already committed to, the business purpose of
the transaction, and the benefits of the transaction to the company and to the relevant related party. Any member of the committee who
has an interest in the related party transaction under review by the committee shall abstain from voting on the approval of the related
party transaction, but may, if so requested by the chairman of the committee, participate in some or all of the committee’s discussions
of the related party transaction. Upon completion of its review of the related party transaction, the committee may determine to permit
or to prohibit the related party transaction.
Management will present to
the audit committee each proposed related party transaction, including all relevant facts and circumstances relating thereto. Under the
policy, we may consummate related party transactions only if our audit committee approves or ratifies the transaction in accordance with
the guidelines set forth in the policy. The policy does not permit any director or executive officer to participate in the discussion
of, or decision concerning, a related person transaction in which he or she is the related party.
Director Independence
Nasdaq requires that a majority
of our board must be composed of “independent directors.” Currently, Mr. Snyder, Mr. Mao and Mr. Grigsby would each be considered
an “independent director” under the Nasdaq listing rules, which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or
employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the company’s
board of directors would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of
a director. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
We will only enter into a
business combination if it is approved by a majority of our independent directors. Additionally, we will only enter into transactions
with our officers and directors and their respective affiliates that are on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from
independent parties. Any related-party transactions must also be approved by our audit committee and a majority of disinterested
independent directors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
ChampionsGate Acquisition Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of ChampionsGate Acquisition Corporation as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company have working capital deficits that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of ChampionsGate Acquisition Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet
of ChampionsGate Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, and the related statements of operations,
changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the period from March 27, 2024 (inception) to December 31, 2024, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the period from March 27, 2024 (inception) to December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue
as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has no
revenue, its business plan is dependent on the completion of a financing transaction and the Company’s cash and working capital
are not sufficient to complete its planned activities one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions
and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that
matter.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required
to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating

CHAMPIONSGATE ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Organization, Business Operation and Going Concern Consideration
ChampionsGate Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on March 27, 2024 as an exempted company with limited liability. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). The Company’s efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location. The Company has elected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. For the period from March 27, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025, the Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to the IPO (see Note 3). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of dividend and/or interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO and Private Placement (see Note 4).
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units (as defined below), although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
The Company’s founder and sponsor is ST Sponsor Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Sponsor”). The Company’s ability to commence operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources through the IPO and the Private Placement.
On May 29, 2025, the Company consummated IPO of 7,475,000 units (including 975,000 units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option, the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (the “Class A ordinary share”), $ 0.0001 par value per share, and one right (“Right”) to receive of one-eighth of one Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the initial Business Combination of the Company. The Units were sold at an offering price of $ 10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $ 74,750,000 .
Simultaneously with the consummation (the “closing”) of the IPO and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 230,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to ST Sponsor Investment LLC (the “Sponsor HoldCo”), a Cayman Islands limited liability company which has one member, ST Sponsor Limited, the Company’s Sponsor, at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $ 2,300,000 , which is described in Note 4. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, and one Right to receive of one-eighth of one Class A ordinary share upon the completion of the initial Business Combination.
Transaction costs amounted to $ 3,259,220 , consisting of $ 747,500 of underwriting commissions which was paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO, $ 1,495,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, $ 293,020 of the Representative Shares (discussed below), and $ 723,700 of other offering costs. At the IPO closing date, cash of $ 464,339 was held outside of the trust account (as defined below) and is available for the payment of accrued offering costs and for working capital purposes.
In conjunction with the IPO, the Company issued to the underwriter 112,125 Class A ordinary shares for no consideration (the “Representative Shares”). The fair value of the Representative Shares accounted for as compensation under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) is included in the offering costs. The estimated fair value of the Representative Shares as of the IPO date totaled $ 293,020 .
F- 8
The Company’s initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80 % of the value of the trust account (excluding any deferred underwriters’ fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company will complete its initial Business Combination only if the post-transaction company in which its public shareholders own shares will own or acquire 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
Upon the closing of the IPO, management has agreed that at least $ 10.05 per Unit sold in the IPO will be held into a U.S.-based trust account (“trust account”). The funds held in the trust account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest solely in direct U.S. government treasury. Except with respect to divided and/or interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligation, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units that are deposited and held in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest to occur of (i) the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the company’s second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of obligation to redeem 100 % of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete the Company’s initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO. (The Company has eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date to complete its initial Business Combination unless the Company and the Sponsor and/or designees elect to extend this initial time period pursuant to the following scenarios: (x) in the event that the Company executes a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination within 18 months after the Closing Date, it will automatically receive an additional three months to consummate the initial Business Combination or (y) the Company and the Sponsor and/or designees may extend that initial time period two times by an additional three months each time up to for a total period of up to 24 months from the Closing Date, or 27 months from the closing of the IPO if the condition in scenario (x) is met) (the “Combination Deadline”) provided that the Company’s sponsor and/or designees must deposit (the “extension loans”) into the trust account for each three months extension, $ 747,500 , up to an aggregate of $ 1,495,000 , on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (iii) the redemption of all of public shares if the company are unable to complete their initial Business Combination before the Combination Deadline, subject to applicable law. In no other circumstances will a public shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the trust account. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders.
The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer.
The ordinary shares subject to redemption will be accredited to the redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The Company has determined not to consummate any Business Combination unless the Company has net tangible assets of at least $ 5,000,001 upon such consummation in order to avoid being subject to Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act.
The Company will have until the Combination Deadline to complete its initial Business Combination. 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 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 on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes, if any (less up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining 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 HoldCo and each member of management team have entered into an agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any insider shares (as defined in Note 5) they hold if the Company fails to consummate an initial Business Combination before the Combination Deadline.
F- 9
The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.05 per public share and (ii) 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 $ 10.05 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of this IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have the Company independently verified whether the Company’s Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the company. Therefore, it cannot be assured that that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
Going Concern Consideration
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficit of $ 77,569 . The Company expects to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Management’s plans to address this need for capital through the Working Capital Loans, as defined below (see Note 5). In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination before the Combination Deadline, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the required period. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to consummate the Business Combination to continue as a going concern.
Risks and Uncertainties
As a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related economic sanctions, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
F- 10
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 (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 auditor 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) 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 an 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 statements in conformity with US GAAP requires 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 statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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. The Company had $ 17,251 and $ 3 cash in bank as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Investments Held in Trust Account
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, substantially all of the assets of $ 76,902,330 and $ 0 held in the trust account, respectively, are invested primarily in money market funds. These investments are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Earnings on these investments are included in interest and dividends income in the accompanying statements of operations and are automatically reinvested. The fair value for these investments is determined by using quoted market prices in active markets. The interest and dividend income on investments held in trust account was $ 1,778,580 and $ 0 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from March 27, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage (“FDIC”) of $ 250,000 . As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $ 0 was over the FDIC limit. The Company has not experienced losses on the account.
F- 11
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — Expenses of Offering. Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO and were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value of redeemable ordinary shares is excluded from income (loss) per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has not considered the effect of the Rights included in the IPO and Private Placement Units in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, since the conversion of the Rights is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such Rights would be anti-dilutive and the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the period presented.

On May 29, 2025, the Company consummated the IPO of 7,475,000 units at $ 10.00 per unit, which includes the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, therefore the 283,064 Class B ordinary shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
(2) Gives retroactive effect to forfeiture of 4,507,258 shares issue to the Sponsor at par value on April 30, 2025.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
F- 12
The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
● Level 1 — Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
● Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
● Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.
The public Rights have been classified within shareholders’ deficit and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The public Rights were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the measurement dates due to the use of unobservable inputs inherent in assumptions related to the market adjustments as noted below. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the valuation of the public Rights:

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) will be classified as a liability instrument and will be measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features 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) will be classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares will be classified as shareholders’ equity. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. Given that the 7,475,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Rights), the initial carrying value of Class A ordinary shares classified as temporary equity has been allocated to the proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. 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 to recognize the 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.
As of December 31, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:
Gross Proceeds $ 74,750,000
Less:
Proceeds allocated to Public Rights ( 2,441,833 )
Class A ordinary shares issuance cost ( 3,135,464 )
Plus:
Initial measurement of carrying value to redemption value 5,951,047
Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value 1,778,580
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2025 $ 76,902,330
Stock Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. To the extent a stock-based award is subject to a performance condition, the amount of expense recorded in a given period, if any, reflects an assessment of the probability of achieving such performance condition, with compensation recognized once the event is deemed probable to occur. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred. The Company has recognized stock-based compensation expense in the amount of $ 155,904 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and $ 31,905 for the period from March 27, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
F- 14
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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.
