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 IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Securities, 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.
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 June 30, 2025 were organizational activities,
those necessary to prepare for our IPO, described below, and identifying a target company for our initial 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
generate 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 June 30, 2025, we had
net income of $1,631,524, which consists of interest income on cash held in the Trust Account of $1,819,161 and interest earned on bank
account of $11,921, offset by general and administrative expenses of $199,558.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had
net income of $3,079,421, which consists of interest income on cash held in the Trust Account of $3,604,845, change on overallotment liability
of $26,558 and interest earned on bank account of $11,921, offset by general and administrative expenses of $563,903.
For the period from June 19, 2024 (inception)
through June 30, 2024, we had no income or expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs have been satisfied prior
to the consummation of our IPO through receipt from our Sponsor of $25,000 for the sale of the founder shares.
We consummated our IPO of 17,500,000 units at
$10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $175,000,000. 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.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used
in operating activities was $359,456. Net income of $3,079,421 was affected by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $3,604,845,
change in fair value of overallotment liability of $26,558, and net change in operating assets and liabilities of $192,526.
For the period from June 19, 2024 (inception)
through June 30, 2024, there were no cash activities.
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash held in the Trust
Account of $180,202,115. 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 June 30, 2025, we had cash of $1,088,465
in our operating bank account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily 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 private placement shares, and such units would be identical to
the private placement units.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional
funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate 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. Moreover, we may
need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant
number of our public shares upon completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur
debt in connection with such business combination.
Nonetheless, the mandatory liquidation date, should
a Business Combination not occur by May 27, 2026, and the potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
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 June 30, 2025. 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.
17
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease
obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.
The underwriters 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 the IPO. In addition, the underwriters
were entitled to a deferred fee of (i) $0.40 per Unit sold in the offering of the IPO, or $7,000,000 in the aggregate, payable based
on the percentage of funds remaining in the trust account after redemptions of public shares, solely in the event that the Company completes
an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements
and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. 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 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 June 30, 2025, 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 the Company’s financial
statements.
