−Removed: not to make a profit based on their positions as director (unless the company permits them to do so);
−Removed: not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests.
−Removed: addition to the above, directors also owe to the company a duty of to act with skill and care which is not fiduciary in nature.
−Removed: duty has been considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably
−Removed: be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience.

−Removed: The Company is
−Removed: an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging
−Removed: growth companies.
−Removed: of December 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations.
−Removed: All activity for the period from March 1, 2021 (inception) through
−Removed: December 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which
−Removed: is described below.
−Removed: The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion an initial Business Combination,
−Removed: at the earliest.
−Removed: The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Proposed
−Removed: Public Offering.
−Removed: The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
−Removed: registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “Registration Statement”) was declared
−Removed: effective on October 13, 2022.
−Removed: On October 18, 2022, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 6,600,000
−Removed: units, including 600,000
−Removed: additional units issued pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option, (“Units” and,
−Removed: with respect to the ordinary share included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds
−Removed: of $ 66,000,000 ,
−Removed: which is described in Note 3.
−Removed: Simultaneously
−Removed: with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private
−Removed: Placement”) of 394,000 Units (the “Placement Units”), to 10XYZ Holdings LP (the “Sponsor”) at a price
−Removed: of $ 10.00 per Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $ 3,940,000 .
−Removed: of October 18, 2022, transaction costs amounted to $ 4,859,330 consisting of $ 1,320,000 of cash underwriting fees, non-cash underwriting
−Removed: fees of $ 2,922,480 represented by the fair value of 297,000 shares issued to the underwriter and $ 616,850 of other offering costs.
−Removed: costs were charged to additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit to the extent additional paid-in capital is fully depleted upon
−Removed: completion of the Initial Public Offering.
−Removed: the closing of the Initial Public Offering on October 18, 2022, an amount of $ 67,320,000 ($ 10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the
−Removed: sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (as defined in Note 4) was placed in the Trust Account.
−Removed: funds held in the Trust Account may be invested in U.S.
−Removed: government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the
−Removed: Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any
−Removed: open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7
−Removed: of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of:
−Removed: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii)
−Removed: the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
−Removed: Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
−Removed: and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward
−Removed: consummating a Business Combination.
−Removed: The stock exchange listing rules require that the Business Combination must be with one or more
−Removed: operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below)
−Removed: (excluding the taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account).
−Removed: The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the
−Removed: post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise
−Removed: acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under
−Removed: the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).
−Removed: is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
−Removed: Upon the closing of the Proposed Public
−Removed: Offering, management has agreed that $ 10.00 per Unit sold in the Proposed Public Offering, including proceeds of the sale of the Private
−Removed: Placement Units, will be held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S.
−Removed: government securities, within
−Removed: the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment
−Removed: company that holds itself out as a money market fund investing solely in U.S.
−Removed: Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7
−Removed: of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii)
−Removed: the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below.
−Removed: Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem
−Removed: all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination
−Removed: or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination.
−Removed: The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder
−Removed: approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company.
−Removed: The Public Shareholders will be entitled to
−Removed: redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $ 10.00 per Public
−Removed: Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable).
−Removed: of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the
−Removed: Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business
−Removed: Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the
−Removed: “Certificate of Incorporation”).
−Removed: In accordance with the rules of the U.S.
−Removed: Securities and Exchange Commission (the
−Removed: “SEC”) and its guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption
−Removed: provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary share subject to redemption to be classified outside of
−Removed: permanent equity.
−Removed: Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., rights), the initial
−Removed: carrying value of ordinary shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC
−Removed: The ordinary shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99.
−Removed: If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the
−Removed: Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the
−Removed: date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the
−Removed: instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the
−Removed: instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period.
−Removed: The Company has elected to immediate fair value
−Removed: The accretion will be treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained
−Removed: earnings, additional paid-in capital).
−Removed: While redemptions cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $ 5,000,001 ,
−Removed: the Public Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes
−Removed: Company will not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $ 5,000,001 (so that it does
−Removed: not then become subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that
−Removed: may be contained in the agreement relating to the Business Combination.
−Removed: If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination,
−Removed: the Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving
−Removed: a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting
−Removed: of the Company, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule.
−Removed: If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does
−Removed: not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum
−Removed: and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
−Removed: “SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement
−Removed: with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
−Removed: If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination,
−Removed: the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Proposed
−Removed: Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination.
−Removed: Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public
−Removed: Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.
−Removed: Notwithstanding
−Removed: the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant
−Removed: to the tender offer rules, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder
−Removed: is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
−Removed: “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15 % of the Public
−Removed: Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.
−Removed: Sponsor has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with
−Removed: the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association
−Removed: (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial
−Removed: Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination
−Removed: Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business
−Removed: combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval
−Removed: of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including
−Removed: interest earned on the Trust account and not previously released to pay taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public
−Removed: Company will have until 18 months (or 25 months if the Company extends the period) from the closing of the Public Offering to
−Removed: consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”).
−Removed: However, if the Company has not completed a Business
−Removed: Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as
−Removed: promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100 %
−Removed: of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account,
−Removed: including interest earned and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any (less up to $ 100,000
−Removed: of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will
−Removed: completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating
−Removed: distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the
−Removed: Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the
−Removed: Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable
−Removed: The Company convened an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on January 17, 2024, regarding the extension
−Removed: See the subsequent event disclosure below.
−Removed: Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares it will
−Removed: receive if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
−Removed: However, if the Sponsor or any of its
−Removed: respective affiliates acquire Public Shares, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account
−Removed: if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
−Removed: In the event of such distribution, it is possible
−Removed: that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Public Offering price per Unit ($ 10.00 ).
−Removed: order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent
−Removed: any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products
−Removed: sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce
−Removed: the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (1) $ 10.00 per Public Share and (2) the actual amount per Public Share
−Removed: held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $ 10.00 per Public Share, due to reductions
−Removed: in the value of trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes.
−Removed: This liability will not apply to any
−Removed: claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and as to any claims under the
−Removed: Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Proposed Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
−Removed: the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
−Removed: In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable
−Removed: against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims.
−Removed: The Company will
−Removed: seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to
−Removed: have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target
−Removed: businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest
−Removed: or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
−Removed: Concern Consideration
−Removed: Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans.
−Removed: In addition, the Company
−Removed: currently has less than 12 months from the date these financial statements were issued to complete a Business Combination transaction.
−Removed: If the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial Business Combination by April 18, 2024, per the mandatory liquidation requirement,
−Removed: the Company must cease all operations, redeem the Public Shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve.
−Removed: In connection with the Company’s
−Removed: assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures
−Removed: of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company does not have adequate liquidity
−Removed: to sustain operations.
−Removed: These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for
−Removed: a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
−Removed: There is no assurance that the Company’s
−Removed: plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period.
−Removed: The financial
−Removed: statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
−Removed: and Uncertainties
−Removed: continues to monitor the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its global impact.
−Removed: We have no operations, employees or assets in Russia, Belarus
−Removed: While the conflict continues to evolve and the outcome remains highly uncertain, we do not currently believe the Russia-Ukraine
−Removed: conflict will have a material impact on our business and results of operations.
−Removed: However, if the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues or
−Removed: worsens, leading to greater global economic or political disruptions and uncertainty, our business and results of operations could be
−Removed: materially impacted as a result.
−Removed: continues to monitor the Israel and the Gaza Strip conflict and its global impact.
−Removed: We have no operations, employees or assets in Israel
−Removed: or the Gaza Strip.
−Removed: While the conflict continues to evolve and the outcome remains uncertain, we do not currently believe the Gaza Strip
−Removed: conflict will have a material impact on our business and results of operations.
−Removed: of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $ 72,565,394 and $ 67,813,020 investments held in trust, respectively.
−Removed: Business Combination
−Removed: October 24, 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement and plan of merger and reorganization (the “Merger
−Removed: Agreement”), dated October 23, 2023, by and among TenX Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the Company’s wholly
−Removed: owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Citius Pharma”), and Citius
−Removed: Oncology, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Citius Pharma (“Citius Oncology”), to acquire Citius
−Removed: The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (i) that Merger
−Removed: Sub will merge with and into Citius Oncology, with Citius Oncology to be renamed and to survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of TenX
−Removed: (the “Merger”), and (ii) that prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), TenX will migrate
−Removed: to and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and
−Removed: the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) (the “Domestication”).
−Removed: The newly combined publicly traded company is to be
−Removed: named “Citius Oncology, Inc.” (the “Combined Company”).
−Removed: The Domestication, Merger and the other transactions
−Removed: contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to in this section as the “Business Combination”.
−Removed: the Merger, all shares of Citius Oncology would be converted into the right to receive ordinary share of the Combined Company.
−Removed: result, upon closing, Citius Pharma would receive 67.5
−Removed: million shares of ordinary share of the Combined Company which, at an implied value of $ 10.00
−Removed: per share, would be $ 675
−Removed: million in equity of the Combined Company, before fees and expenses.
−Removed: As part of the transaction, Citius Pharma will contribute
−Removed: million in cash to the Combined Company.
−Removed: An additional 12.6
−Removed: million existing options will be assumed by the Combined Company.
−Removed: Citius Pharma and the Combined Company will also enter into an
−Removed: amended and restated shared services agreement, which, among other things, will govern certain management and scientific services
−Removed: that Citius Pharma will continue to provide to the Combined Company following the Effective Time.
−Removed: Merger Agreement, Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the boards of
−Removed: directors of each of the Company, Citius Pharma and Citius Oncology.
−Removed: The transaction is expected to be completed in the first half
−Removed: of 2024, subject to approval by shareholders of the Company and other customary closing conditions, including final regulatory
−Removed: approvals and SEC filings.
−Removed: There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of the proposed transaction or that the
−Removed: transaction will be completed at all.
−Removed: will have until 18 months from the closing of our IPO to consummate an initial business combination (the “Combination Period”).
−Removed: However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 18 months, we may extend the
−Removed: Combination Period up to seven (7) times, each time for an additional month (for a total of up to 25 months to complete a business combination)
−Removed: without submitting such proposed extensions to our shareholders for approval or offering our public shareholders redemption rights in
−Removed: connection therewith.
−Removed: Pursuant to the terms of our third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the trust agreement
−Removed: entered into between us and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company on October 13, 2022, in order to extend the time available for
−Removed: us to consummate our initial business combination, our Sponsor or its affiliates or designees, upon two days advance notice prior to
−Removed: the applicable deadline, must deposit into the trust account the lesser of $ 66,667 or $ 0.03 per public share that is not redeemed on
−Removed: or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each one month extension.
−Removed: Any such payments would be made in the form of a loan.
−Removed: Any such loans will be non-interest bearing and payable upon the consummation of our initial business combination.
−Removed: If we complete our
−Removed: initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us.
−Removed: complete a business combination, we will not repay such loans.
−Removed: Furthermore, the letter agreement with our initial shareholders contains
−Removed: a provision pursuant to which our Sponsor has agreed to waive its right to be repaid for such loans out of the funds held in the trust
−Removed: account in the event that we do not complete a business combination.
−Removed: Our Sponsor and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to
−Removed: fund the trust account to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination.
−Removed: Up to $ 1,500,000 of the loans made by
−Removed: our Sponsor, our officers and directors, or our or their affiliates to us prior to or in connection with our initial business combination
−Removed: (including loans made to extend our time period for consummating a business combination) may be convertible into Units at a price of
−Removed: $ 10.00 per Unit at the option of the lender.
−Removed: we are unable to consummate an initial business combination within such time period, we will, as promptly as reasonably possible but
−Removed: not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100 % of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal
−Removed: to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including any interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (net
−Removed: of interest that may be used by us to pay our taxes payable and for dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding
−Removed: Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to
−Removed: receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law and as further described herein, and then seek to dissolve
−Removed: and liquidate.
−Removed: We expect the pro rata redemption price to be approximately $ 10.99 per public share (subject to increase of up to an additional
−Removed: approximately $ 0.03 per share for each month in the event that our Sponsor elects to extend the period of time to consummate a business
−Removed: combination by the full seven months), without taking into account any interest earned on such funds.
−Removed: However, we cannot assure you that
−Removed: we will in fact be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our
−Removed: public shareholders.
−Removed: anticipate structuring our initial business combination so that the post-transaction company in which our public shareholders own shares
−Removed: will own or acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses.
−Removed: We may, however, structure our initial
−Removed: business combination such that the post-transaction company owns or acquires less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target
−Removed: business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete
−Removed: such business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target
−Removed: or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company
−Removed: under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act.
−Removed: Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires
−Removed: 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our shareholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority
−Removed: interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination transaction.
−Removed: For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding
−Removed: capital stock of a target.
−Removed: In this case, we would acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target.
−Removed: However, as a result of the issuance
−Removed: of a substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority
−Removed: of our outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination.
−Removed: If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target
−Removed: business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, the portion of such business or businesses that is owned
−Removed: or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% of net assets test.
−Removed: If our initial business combination involves more than
−Removed: one target business, the 80% of net assets test will be based on the aggregate value of all of the target businesses

−Removed: The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
−Removed: that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.
−Removed: The Company has elected not to opt out of
−Removed: such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public
−Removed: or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies
−Removed: adopt the new or revised standard.
−Removed: This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which
−Removed: is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult
−Removed: or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
−Removed: preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions
−Removed: that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
−Removed: statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
−Removed: estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment.
−Removed: It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of
−Removed: a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating
−Removed: its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events.
−Removed: Accordingly, the actual results could differ

−Removed: of December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company had no deferred offering costs.
−Removed: Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “ Income Taxes .” Deferred
−Removed: tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
−Removed: statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
−Removed: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
−Removed: measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to
−Removed: be recovered or settled.
−Removed: The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
−Removed: that included the enactment date.
−Removed: Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected
−Removed: to be realized.
−Removed: 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions
−Removed: taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
−Removed: For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be
−Removed: sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.

−Removed: shares of the common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption
−Removed: upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the issuer’s control) are classified as temporary equity.

−Removed: redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of
−Removed: uncertain future events.
−Removed: Accordingly, as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the ordinary shares subject to possible
−Removed: redemption in the amount of $ 72,565,394
−Removed: and $ 67,813,020 ,

+Added: A summary of the significant accounting policies
+Added: followed by the Company in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is as follows:
+Added: Use of Estimates
+Added: The process of preparing financial statements
+Added: in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to
+Added: make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
+Added: at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
+Added: Estimates having relatively
+Added: higher significance include the accounting for in-process research and development, stock-based compensation and income taxes.
+Added: results could differ from those estimates and changes in estimates may occur.
+Added: Cash and Cash Equivalents
+Added: The Company considers all highly liquid instruments
+Added: with maturities of less than three months at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
+Added: From time to time, the Company may have cash
+Added: balances in financial institutions in excess of insurance limits.
+Added: The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances.
+Added: Prepaid Expenses
+Added: Prepaid expenses at September 30, 2024 and 2023
+Added: consist of $ 2,700,000 and $ 7,734,895 of advance payments made for the preparation of long-lead time drug substance and product costs,
+Added: respectively, which will be utilized in research and development activities or in the manufacturing of LYMPHIR for sales.
+Added: Inventory is stated at the lower of actual
+Added: accumulated costs or net realizable value as of September 30, 2024 consisting of finished goods of $ 6,134,895 , and work in process of
+Added: $ 2,133,862 related to the manufacturing of LYMPHIR commercial products to be sold in 2025.
+Added: No reserves against inventory were deemed
+Added: necessary based on an evaluation of the product expiration dating.
+Added: During 2024, $ 6,134,895 of prepaid manufacturing
+Added: costs were transferred to inventory upon product approval and production commencement at our third-party manufacturers.
+Added: The Company has not yet selected a specific inventory
+Added: costing methodology (e.g., FIFO or weighted average).
+Added: Management plans to implement an appropriate inventory costing method prior to the
+Added: commencement of sales activities.
+Added: The selection of this method may impact future financial statements once sales begin.
+Added: Research and Development
+Added: Research and development costs, including upfront
+Added: fees and milestones paid to collaborators who are performing research and development activities under contractual agreements with the
+Added: Company, are expensed as incurred.
+Added: The Company defers and capitalizes its nonrefundable advance payments that are for research and development
+Added: activities until the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed.
+Added: When the Company is reimbursed by a collaboration
+Added: partner for work the Company performs, it records the costs incurred as research and development expenses and the related reimbursement
+Added: as a reduction to research and development expenses in its statement of operations.
+Added: Research and development expenses primarily consist
+Added: of clinical and non-clinical studies, materials and supplies, third-party costs for contracted services, and payments related to external
+Added: collaborations and other research and development related costs.
+Added: In-process Research and Development and
+Added: License Payable
+Added: The Company capitalizes intangible assets purchased from others for
+Added: use in research and development activities as In Process Research & Development (IPR&D) when the assets acquired have an alternative
+Added: future use, the Company anticipates future economic benefit from that use and the assets acquired are not dependent on future development.
+Added: Milestone payments upon regulatory approval that meet the same criteria are capitalized when the payments are considered recoverable based
+Added: on expected future cash flows.
+Added: Amortization of IPR&D over the exclusive regulatory period of the acquired asset commences upon revenue
+Added: In-process research and development of $ 73,400,000 consists of an
+Added: initial $ 40,000,000 payment to Dr.
+Added: Reddy’s Laboratories (“DRL”) in September 2021, and $ 27,500,000 and $ 5,900,000
+Added: for approval milestone amounts payable to DRL and Eisai, respectively, that came due during 2024.
+Added: Of these amounts $ 28,400,000 is
+Added: included in license payable at September 30, 2024.
+Added: The value of our September 2021 acquisition of an exclusive license for LYMPHIR
+Added: (denileukin diftitox), a late-stage oncology immunotherapy for the treatment of CTCL, a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is
+Added: expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of twelve years , (the FDA exclusivity period), commencing upon
+Added: revenue generation which is expected in the first half of 2025.
+Added: Included in the IPR&D is the historical know-how, formula
+Added: protocols, designs, and procedures which were used in the completion of the Phase 3.
+Added: In addition, the contracts acquired in
+Added: connection with Dr.
+Added: Reddy’s transaction with the clinical research and manufacturing organization are at market rates and
+Added: could be provided by multiple vendors in the marketplace.
+Added: Therefore, there is no fair value associated with the contracts
+Added: The Company reviews intangible assets annually
+Added: to determine if any adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the
+Added: remaining useful life of any intangible asset.
+Added: If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, the Company writes
+Added: down the carrying value of the intangible asset to its fair value in the period identified.
+Added: No impairment has occurred since the acquisitions
+Added: through September 30, 2024.
+Added: Patents and Trademarks
+Added: Certain costs of outside legal counsel related
+Added: to obtaining trademarks for the Company are capitalized.
+Added: Patent costs are amortized over the legal life of the patents, generally twenty
+Added: years, starting at the patent issuance date.
+Added: There are no capitalized patents and trademarks as of September 30, 2024.
+Added: The costs of unsuccessful and abandoned applications
+Added: are expensed when abandoned.
+Added: The costs of maintaining existing patents are expensed as incurred.
+Added: Stock-Based Compensation
+Added: The Company recognizes compensation costs resulting
+Added: from the issuance of stock-based awards to employees and directors as an expense in the statements of operations over the requisite service
+Added: period based on the fair value for each stock award on the grant date.
+Added: The fair value of each option grant is estimated as of the date
+Added: of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
+Added: Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different
+Added: from those of traded options, and because changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing
+Added: model may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of fair value of the Company’s stock options.
+Added: The Company recognizes compensation costs resulting
+Added: from the issuance of stock-based awards to non-employees as an expense in the statements of operations over the service period based on
+Added: the measurement of fair value for each stock award and records forfeitures as they occur.
+Added: The Company files consolidated income tax returns
+Added: with Citius Pharmaceuticals.
+Added: The Company follows accounting guidance regarding the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure
+Added: of uncertain tax positions in the financial statements.
+Added: Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s
+Added: tax returns are required to be evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained
+Added: by the applicable tax authorities.
+Added: Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded in the financial
+Added: There are no uncertain tax positions that require accrual or disclosure as of September 30, 2024.

+Added: are charged to expense.
+Added: During the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize any interest and penalties.
+Added: The Company is subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities for all tax years since inception.
+Added: The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and
+Added: liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and operating loss and tax credit
+Added: carry forwards.
+Added: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect
+Added: when the differences are expected to reverse.
+Added: The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, for deferred tax assets for which
+Added: it does not consider realization of such assets to be “more-likely-than-not.” The deferred tax benefit or expense for the
+Added: period represents the change in the deferred tax asset or liability from the beginning to the end of the period.
+Added: Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share
+Added: Basic and diluted net loss per common share applicable
+Added: to common stockholders is computed by dividing net loss in each period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
+Added: during such period.
+Added: For the periods presented, common stock equivalents, consisting
+Added: of options were not included in the calculation of the diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive.
+Added: Segment Reporting
+Added: The Company currently operates as a single segment.
+Added: Concentrations of Credit Risk
+Added: The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet
+Added: concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other hedging arrangements.

−Removed: Financial Instruments
−Removed: Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as
−Removed: embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “ Derivatives and Hedging .” For derivative financial
−Removed: instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant
−Removed: date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations.
−Removed: classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is
−Removed: evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

−Removed: (Subtopic 815-40):
−Removed: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) ,”
−Removed: which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP.

−Removed: ASU 2020-06 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2022.
−Removed: Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
−Removed: In June 2022, the FASB issued
−Removed: ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”.
−Removed: ASU amends ASC 820 to clarify that a contractual sales restriction is not considered in measuring an equity security at fair value and
−Removed: to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value.
−Removed: The ASU applies to both holders and issuers of equity and equity-linked securities measured at fair value.
−Removed: The amendments in this ASU
−Removed: are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
−Removed: adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.
