ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Some of the statements contained in this Report may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this Report may include, for example, statements about: ● our ability to select an appropriate target business or businesses; ● our ability to complete our initial business combination; ● our expectations around the performance of the prospective target business or businesses; 10 ● our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following our initial business combination; ● our officers and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business or in approving our initial business combination; ● our potential ability to obtain additional financing to complete our initial business combination; ● our pool of prospective target businesses; ● the adverse impacts that events outside of our control, such as increased geopolitical unrest, significant outbreaks of infectious diseases (such as COVID-19) and increased volatility in the debt and equity markets, may have on our ability to consummate an initial business combination; ● our public securities’ potential liquidity and trading; ● the lack of a market for our securities; ● the use of proceeds not held in the trust account or available to us from interest income on the trust account balance; ● the trust account not being subject to claims of third parties; or ● our financial performance. The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “ Risk Factors ”. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. In addition, statements that contain “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Report. Although we believe that this information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, this information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements. Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our initial public offering, and subsequent to our initial public offering, identifying a target company for our initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held in the trust account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. For the period from April 3, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $66,845, which represents formation and operating costs incurred through the year. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of our initial public offering were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the sponsor upon the issuance of the founder shares, loan proceeds from the sponsor of $350,000 under an unsecured promissory note and advances from related party. Subsequent to the consummation of our initial public offering, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from our initial public offering and the proceeds from the sponsor from the purchase of the private units. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. If the Company completes a business combination, it would repay such loaned amounts at that time. Up to $2,500,000 of such working capital loans may be converted upon completion of a business combination into units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Such units would be identical to the private units. 11 We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest to pay our income and franchise taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the trust account. We expect the interest earned on the amount in the trust account will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. As of February 12, 2026, we have available to us the approximately $864,356 of proceeds held outside the trust account. We will use these funds to primarily identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following our initial public offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial business combination. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $2,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the private units. Except as set forth above, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations Critical Accounting Estimates We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require our management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations would be affected. We base our estimates on our own historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking into account our circumstances and expectations for the future based on available information. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. There are no critical accounting estimates that were made with respect to the preparation of the historical financial statements; however, the Company will be required to account for complex financial instruments at fair value upon the completion of our initial public offering, Such estimates will be critical to the Company’s (i) closing date allocation of proceeds to any instruments classified in equity, temporary equity or as liabilities and (ii) subsequent measurement with respect to the accretion of redeemable shares to their redemption amount and changes in the fair value of any liability classified instruments. Risks and Uncertainties Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including wars and other forms of conflict, including the war with Iran and trade tensions between the United States and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries, terrorist acts, security operations and catastrophic events such as fires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and global health epidemics), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide. Specifically, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the rising conflicts with Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East, and resulting market volatility could adversely affect the Company’s ability to complete a business combination. In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. and other countries have imposed sanctions or other restrictive actions against Russia. The war with Iran has resulted in spikes in fuel prices, among other consequences. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to complete an initial business combination and the value of the Company’s securities. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 12
