Item
7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The
following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction
with our audited financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data” of this Annual Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking
statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors,
including those set forth under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors”
and elsewhere in this Annual Report.
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
December 31, 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.
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 year ended December 31, 2025, we had net income of $5,017,538, which consists of interest income on cash held in the Trust Account
of $7,188,186, change on overallotment liability of $26,558 and interest earned on bank account of $27,824, offset by general and administrative
expenses of $2,225,030.
For
the period from June 19, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we had net loss of $71,891, which consists of interest income on
cash held in the Trust Account of $722,270 and change on overallotment liability of $285,738, offset by operating costs of $1,079,899.

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.
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. CCM and 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 year ended December 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $903,130. Net income of $5,017,538 was affected by interest earned
on cash held in the Trust Account of $7,188,186, change in fair value of overallotment liability of $26,558, and net change in operating
assets and liabilities of $1,294,077.
For
the period from June 19, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $305,103. Net loss of $71,891
was affected by interest earned cash held in the Trust Account of $722,270, change in fair value of overallotment liability of $285,738,
and net change in operating assets and liabilities of $774,796.
As
of December 31, 2025, we had cash held in the Trust Account of $183,785,456. 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 December 31, 2025, we had cash of $544,791 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 December 31, 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.
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 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 December 31, 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.
