Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking

“believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and
similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future
events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors
could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking
statements, including that the conditions of a business combination are not satisfied. For information identifying important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the “Risk

Commission (“SEC”). Our securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on
June 19, 2024 as a Cayman Islands exempted company, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition,
share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our initial business
combination using cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering (“IPO”) and the sale of our securities in
a private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs
in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a business combination will be successful.
Business Combination Agreement
On November 26, 2025, we entered into a Business
Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Sponsor HoldCo, Patriot Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Florida
corporation and our direct, wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) and Precision Aerospace & Defense Group, Inc., a Florida
corporation (“PAD”). The Business Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth therein: (i) we will domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law and Part XII of the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Domestication”); and (ii) following
the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into PAD with PAD surviving the merger as our wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”),
in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and the Florida Business Corporation Act.

Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor
generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from June 19, 2024 (inception) through March 31, 2026 were organizational activities,
those necessary to prepare for our IPO, described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for our initial business
combination and negotiating and attempting to complete the proposed PAD Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating
revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. Subsequent to our IPO, we have generated non-operating income
in the form of interest income on cash held in the trust account established in connection with our IPO (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 three months ended March 31, 2026, we
had net income of $1,034,133, which consists of interest income on cash held in the Trust Account of $1,548,784, and interest earned
on bank account of $2,965, offset by general and administrative expenses of $517,616.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we
had net income of $1,447,897, which consists of interest income on cash held in the Trust Account of $1,785,684 and change on overallotment
liability of $26,558, offset by operating costs of $364,345.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On November 25, 2024, the registration statement
relating to our IPO was declared effective by the SEC. On November 27, 2024, we consummated our IPO of 17,500,000 units at $10.00 per
unit, generating gross proceeds of $175,000,000. Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC (“CCM”),
and Seaport Global Securities LLC (“Seaport”) acted as underwriters of the IPO, which has now terminated.
Simultaneously with the closing of our IPO, we
consummated the sale of 663,125 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit, generating gross proceeds of
$6,631,250, as follows: (A) 17,500 private placement units ($175,000 in the aggregate) with the Sponsor, (B) (i) 260,000 private placement
units and (ii) 162,500 private placement units and 325,000 restricted Class A ordinary shares ($4,225,000 in the aggregate) with Sponsor
HoldCo, (C) 178,500 private placement units ($1,785,000 in the aggregate) with CCM and (D) 44,625 private placement units with Seaport
($446,250 in the aggregate).
Following the closing of our IPO and the concurrent
private placement, a total of $175,875,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $11,028,226 of transaction costs, consisting
of $3,500,000 of cash underwriting fee, $7,000,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $528,226 of other offering costs. No offering expenses
were paid or are payable, directly or indirectly, to our directors or officers, to persons owning 10% or more of any class of our equity
securities, or to any of our affiliates.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash
used in operating activities was $131,882. Net income of $1,034,133 was affected by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account
of $1,548,784 and net change in operating assets and liabilities of $382,769.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash
used in operating activities was $225,895. Net income of $1,447,897 was affected by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account
of $1,785,684, change in fair value of overallotment liability of $26,558, and net change in operating assets and liabilities of $138,450.
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash held in the
Trust Account of $185,334,240. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing
interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of any franchise and income taxes payable and excluding deferred underwriting
commissions), to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our share capital 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 March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash
equivalents of $412,909 in our operating bank account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to
complete our initial business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, or in the event that we are unable to
complete such business combination, to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target
businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or
owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete
an initial business combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies
or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, either of Sponsor HoldCo, the Sponsor, any of their
respective affiliates or certain of our directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we
complete an initial business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In
the event that an 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 $2,000,000 of any such working
capital loans for each such person may be convertible into a price of $10.00 per Class A ordinary share or unit, as applicable, at the
option of such lender. Such Class A ordinary shares would be identical to the shares underlying the private placement units, and such
units would be identical to the private placement units.
Nonetheless, the mandatory liquidation date,
should our initial business combination not occur by November 27, 2026, and the potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities,
which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships
with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established
for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements,
established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease
obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.
The underwriters of our IPO had a 45-day option
from the date of our IPO to purchase up to an additional 2,625,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any. The over-allotment option
expired unexercised on January 10, 2025 and Sponsor HoldCo forfeited 875,000 founder shares upon expiration of the over-allotment option
on January 10, 2025.
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting
discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $3,500,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing of our IPO. In addition, the underwriters
were entitled to a deferred fee of $0.40 per Unit sold in the offering of our IPO, or $7,000,000 in the aggregate, payable based on the
percentage of funds remaining in the Trust Account after the redemption of public shares, solely in the event that we complete an initial
business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods
reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate
of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming
events. Accordingly, the actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any critical
accounting estimates to be disclosed.

Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements.
