NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2026 (Unaudited) NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS FACT II Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on June 19, 2024. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of completing a Business Combination. The Company is 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 growth companies. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. The Company’s activities for the period from June 19, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2026 were limited to the Company’s formation, activities relating to its initial public offering (the “IPO”), identifying and evaluating prospective target businesses and negotiating and pursuing the proposed PAD Business Combination (as defined below), which are described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. On June 19, 2024, FACT II Acquisition Parent LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (which is referred to as the “Sponsor”), formed FACT II Acquisition LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (which is referred to as “Sponsor HoldCo”), through which the Sponsor (i) holds its founder shares (as defined in Note 5) and (ii) purchased Private Placement Securities (as defined below) at the date of the IPO. The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on November 25, 2024. On November 27, 2024, the Company consummated the IPO of 17,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 175,000,000 , which is discussed in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 663,125 private placement units (each, a “Private Placement Unit”) at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 6,631,250 , which is discussed in Note 4, 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 (such restricted Class A ordinary shares together with such Private Placement Units collectively, the “Private Placement Securities”) ($ 4,225,000 in the aggregate) with Sponsor HoldCo, (C) 178,500 Private Placement Units ($ 1,785,000 in the aggregate) with Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC (“CCM”) and (D) 44,625 Private Placement Units ($ 446,250 in the aggregate) with Seaport Global Securities LLC (“Seaport”) (collectively, the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement Units, which were purchased by the Sponsor, Sponsor HoldCo, CCM and Seaport, are identical to the Units, except that, they (including the underlying securities) (i) are subject to certain limited exceptions and will be subject to transfer restrictions until 180 days following the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) are entitled to registration rights. The Private Placement Securities, which were purchased by Sponsor HoldCo, are identical to the Private Placement Units except that they include restricted Class A ordinary shares, which will be subject to transfer restrictions until 90 days following the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Transaction costs amounted to $ 11,028,226 , consisting of $ 3,500,000 of cash underwriting fee, $ 7,000,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $ 528,226 of other offering costs. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The Company must complete its initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding any deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. 5 Following the closing of the IPO, on November 27, 2024, an amount of $ 175,875,000 ($ 10.05 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States, with Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company acting as trustee, and the funds will be invested or held either (i) in U.S. government securities, within 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 company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, (ii) as uninvested cash, or (iii) an interest-bearing bank demand deposit account or other accounts at a bank, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below. No later than 18 months after the closing of the IPO (or 24 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an initial business combination within 18 months from the IPO), the amounts held in the Trust Account will be held as cash or cash items, including in demand deposit accounts. The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (initially $ 10.05 per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Class A ordinary shares were recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity at the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who vote at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, Sponsor HoldCo has agreed to vote its founder shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased in or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination and to waive its redemption rights with respect to any such shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15 % of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent. Sponsor HoldCo has agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Extension Period (as defined below), (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment, or (iii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the founder shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination. 6 The Company has until 18 months from the closing of the IPO (or 24 months from the closing of the IPO if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the IPO) or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Period”) to complete a Business Combination. On November 26, 2025, the Company entered into a business combination agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated May 17, 2026 (the “PAD Business Combination Agreement” and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Domestication and the Merger, each as defined below, the “PAD Business Combination”), by and among the Company, Sponsor HoldCo, Patriot Merger Subsidiary, Inc., a Florida corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Precision Aerospace & Defense Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (“PAD”). As a result of executing the PAD Business Combination Agreement within 18 months from the closing of the IPO, the Company has until November 27, 2026 to consummate its initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Extension Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100 % of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (less up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Sponsor HoldCo has agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the founder shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Extension Period. However, if Sponsor HoldCo acquires Public Shares in or after the IPO, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Extension Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Extension Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the initial amount held in the Trust Account ($ 10.05 ). Sponsor HoldCo has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or by a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (1) $ 10.05 per Public Share or (2) such lesser amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, Sponsor HoldCo will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that Sponsor HoldCo will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Risks and Uncertainties The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from global conflicts, including from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts, the war in Iran, and certain developments to trade and tariff policies of the United States and other countries. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict, the war in Iran and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts, as well as changes in global trade and tariff policies, are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions or tariffs, as applicable, could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets. 7 Any of the above-mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the war in Iran and subsequent sanctions or related actions or the ongoing trade and tariff policy changes by the United States or other countries, could adversely affect the Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination or search for any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination. Termination of the Business Combination with Precision Aerospace & Defense Group, Inc. On November 26, 2025, the Company entered into the PAD Business Combination Agreement. The PAD Business Combination Agreement provided, among other things, that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein: (i) the Company would 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 would merge with and into PAD with PAD surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”), in accordance with the PAD Business Combination Agreement and the Florida Business Corporation Act. Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the PAD Business Combination Agreement was subject to customary conditions of the respective parties, including the approval of the PAD Business Combination Agreement, the PAD Business Combination and certain other actions related thereto by the Company’s shareholders. On July 16, 2026, the PAD Business Combination Agreement was terminated in accordance with the terms set forth therein (the “Termination”). No termination fee was payable by either party. As a result of the Termination, the PAD Support Agreements (as defined in Note 9) terminated in accordance with their respective terms. Following the Termination, the Company intends to continue to identify and evaluate opportunities to consummate an initial Business Combination. NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 13, 2026. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future periods. Principles of Consolidation The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Patriot Merger Subsidiary, Inc., which was incorporated in Florida. The subsidiary was formed on November 7, 2025 for purposes of consummating the PAD Business Combination. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Merger Sub. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Going Concern In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition, the limited period remaining to identify and complete an alternative initial Business Combination following the Termination, and the Company’s liquidation date of November 27, 2026, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Extension Period. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $ 170,477 in its operating bank account and working capital of $ 104,855 . The Company believes its cash on hand will not be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next twelve months, raising liquidity concerns that are discussed above. 8 Until the consummation of a Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation, the Company will 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 offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination, and pay directors’ and officers’ liability insurance premiums. Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. 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 differ significantly from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $ 170,477 and $ 250,000 in cash as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company had $ 0 and $ 294,791 in cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Cash Held in Trust Account As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in a demand deposit account. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $ 250,000 . Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 9 Offering Costs The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are directly related to the IPO. FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate IPO proceeds from the Units between Class A ordinary shares and warrants, using the residual method by allocating IPO proceeds first to the assigned value of the warrants and then to the Class A ordinary shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity, and offering costs allocated to the warrants sold as part of the Units in the Company’s IPO (“Public Warrants”) and Private Placement Units were charged to shareholders’ deficit as the Public Warrants and warrants sold as part of the Private Placement Units (“Private Placement Warrants”), after management’s evaluation, were accounted for under equity treatment. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company has been subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The underwriters’ over-allotment option is deemed to be a freestanding financial instrument indexed on the contingently redeemable shares and was accounted for as a liability pursuant to ASC 480 as the option was not fully exercised at the time of the IPO. Warrant Instruments The Company accounted for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the IPO and the Private Placement in accordance with guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments as equity at their assigned values. 10 Net Income per Ordinary Share Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 875,000 ordinary shares that were forfeited upon the expiration of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters, effective as of January 10, 2025. As a result, diluted net income per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per ordinary share for the periods presented. The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income per share for each class of ordinary shares: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Class A Class B Class A Class B Class A Class B Class A Class B Numerator: Allocation of net income, basic and diluted $ 653,679 $ 206,248 $ 1,240,214 $ 391,310 $ 1,439,783 $ 454,277 $ 2,340,843 $ 738,578 Denominator: Basic and diluted weighted average ordinary shares outstanding 18,488,125 5,833,333 18,488,125 5,833,333 18,488,125 5,833,333 18,488,125 5,833,333 Basic and diluted, net income per ordinary share $ 0.04 $ 0.04 $ 0.07 $ 0.07 $ 0.08 $ 0.08 $ 0.13 $ 0.13 Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to possible redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as it occurs and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table: Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2024 $ 176,597,270 Plus: Accretion for common stock to redemption amount 7,188,186 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2025 183,785,456 Plus: Accretion for common stock to redemption amount 1,548,784 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, March 31, 2026 185,334,240 Plus: Accretion for common stock to redemption amount 1,559,305 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, June 30, 2026 $ 186,893,545 Recently Issued Accounting Standards Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 11 NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING Pursuant to the IPO on November 27, 2024, the Company sold 17,500,000 Units at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one -half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole Public Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6). NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company 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 ($446,250 in the aggregate) with Seaport. The Private Placement Units, which were purchased by the Sponsor, Sponsor HoldCo, CCM and Seaport, are identical to the Units, except that, they (including the underlying securities) (i) are subject to certain limited exceptions and will be subject to transfer restrictions until 180 days following the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) are entitled to registration rights. The Private Placement Securities, which were purchased by Sponsor HoldCo, are identical to the Private Placement Units except that they include restricted Class A ordinary shares, which will be subject to transfer restrictions until 90 days following the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Founder Shares On July 12, 2024, Sponsor HoldCo made a capital contribution of $ 25,000 in consideration for 6,708,333 Class B ordinary shares (the “founder shares”). Effective as of January 10, 2025, upon the expiry of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, 875,000 founder shares were forfeited by Sponsor HoldCo, such that the number of founder shares collectively represents 25 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the IPO. On August 6, 2024, Sponsor HoldCo transferred 30,000 founder shares to each of the Company’s independent directors and 130,000 founder shares to the Company’s Executive Chairman (an aggregate of 220,000 founder shares). The holders of founder shares have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares until 180 days after completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Related Party Loans In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, either of Sponsor HoldCo, the Sponsor, any of their respective affiliates or certain of the Company’s directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Upon consummation of a Business Combination, the Working Capital Loans would either be repaid, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $ 2,000,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Class A ordinary shares or units at a price of $ 10.00 per Class A ordinary share or unit, as applicable. Such Class A ordinary shares would be identical to the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Private Placement Units (“Private Placement Shares”), and such units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding. 12 Advisory Agreement In connection with the transactions contemplated by the PAD Business Combination Agreement, on November 26, 2025, the Company and the Sponsor entered into an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to provide certain services to the Company including, without limitation, in each case relating to the Business Combination, assisting the Company in preparing presentations, introducing the Company to potential investors, assisting the Company in arranging meetings with target company stockholders, and assisting the Company with the preparation of any press releases and filings. The Advisory Agreement provides for the Company to pay to the Sponsor a fee of up to $ 240,000 (which, in the sole discretion of the Company, may be payable in up to 12 monthly installments). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company did no t incur any fees. Senior Advisor Services Agreement In connection with the transactions contemplated by the PAD Business Combination Agreement, on December 1, 2025, the Company and Annie Gishen entered into a senior advisor services agreement (the “Services Agreement”) pursuant to which Ms. Gishen will provide certain services to the Company including, without limitation, providing support to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the board of directors, and the partners of the Sponsor, undertaking special tasks or project work delegated by the senior management team and providing such other services as the Company reasonably requests. Ms. Gishen is the daughter of Adam Gishen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Services Agreement provides for the Company to pay Ms. Gishen a monthly fee of $ 4,000 . For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred a total of $ 12,000 and $ 24,000 in fees associated with the Services Agreement, respectively. NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Termination of the PAD Business Combination Agreement The PAD Business Combination Agreement provided, among other things, that on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein: (i) the Company would 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 would merge with and into PAD, with PAD surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”), in accordance with the PAD Business Combination Agreement and the Florida Business Corporation Act. On July 16, 2026, the PAD Business Combination Agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms. No termination fee was payable by either party. As a result of the Termination, the PAD Support Agreements (as defined in Note 9) terminated in accordance with their respective terms. Registration Rights The holders of the (i) founder shares, (ii) Private Placement Units, Private Placement Shares underlying the Private Placement Units, Private Placement Warrants underlying the Private Placement Units and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Warrants, (iii) restricted Class A ordinary shares, and (iv) any Private Placement Units that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on November 25, 2024, requiring the Company to register its securities held by them for resale (in the case of the founder shares, only after conversion to Class A ordinary shares, and in the case of the restricted Class A ordinary shares, upon vesting after the consummation of the initial Business Combination). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of its initial Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement provides that the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the applicable securities after the completion of the initial Business Combination and prior to the expiration of the applicable lock-up period. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Underwriting Agreement The Company granted the underwriters of its IPO a 45 -day option to purchase up to 2,625,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the IPO price, less the underwriting commissions, which option expired effective as of 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 $ 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 a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. 13 Warrants As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 9,081,563 warrants outstanding, including 8,750,000 Public Warrants and 331,563 Private Placement Warrants. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the IPO. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating thereto is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption is available. The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the issuance, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of a Business Combination and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary shares are, at the time of any exercise of a warrant, not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. Redemption of Public Warrants — Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants: ● in whole and not in part; ● at a price of $ 0.01 per Public Warrant; ● upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and ● if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to warrant holders. The Company will not redeem the warrants for cash unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available throughout the 30 -day redemption period, unless the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described in this paragraph, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its warrant following the notice of redemption to do so on a cashless basis. In the case of such a cashless exercise, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” as used in the preceding sentence shall mean the volume-weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 -trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent. 14 In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $ 9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by its board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to either of Sponsor HoldCo or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by Sponsor HoldCo or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60 % of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of its initial Business Combination on the date of the completion of its initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $ 9.20 per share, the exercise price of the Public Warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115 % of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and, in the case of the Public Warrants only, the $ 18.00 per share redemption trigger prices described under “Redemption of Public Warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180 % of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. The Private Placement Warrants sold as part of the Private Placement Units will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable. NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT Preference Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding. Class A Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 988,125 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, excluding the 17,500,000 shares subject to possible redemption. Class B Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of the Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were 5,833,333 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. On January 10, 2025, the underwriters’ over-allotment option expired unexercised, resulting in the forfeiture of 875,000 founder shares. Only holders of Class B ordinary shares will have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to the Business Combination. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders except as otherwise required by law. The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued in the IPO and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which the Class B ordinary shares will convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 25 % of the sum of all ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon the completion of the IPO (not including (i) any Class A ordinary shares, subject to vesting and any other restrictions, issued or deemed issued to Sponsor HoldCo (or its members or affiliates) in connection with the consummation of the IPO, (ii) the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants, (iii) any Class A ordinary shares issued to the Sponsor (or its members or affiliates) upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, and (iv) any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination). The term “equity-linked securities” refers to any debt or equity securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Class A ordinary shares, including but not limited to a private placement of equity or debt. 15 NOTE 8. SEGMENT INFORMATION ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer , who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is only one reportable segment. The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that also is reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in net income and total assets, which include the following: June 30, December 31, 2026 2025 Cash and cash equivalents $ 170,477 $ 544,791 Cash held in Trust Account $ 186,893,545 $ 183,785,456 For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 General and administrative expenses $ 700,265 $ 199,558 $ 1,217,881 $ 563,903 Interest earned on cash held in Trust Account $ 1,559,305 $ 1,819,161 $ 3,108,089 $ 3,604,845 The CODM reviews interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated November 25, 2024, between the Company and Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company. General and administrative costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure that sufficient capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Extension Period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure that costs are aligned with all agreements and the Company’s budget. General and administrative expenses, as reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis. All other segment items included in net income are reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and described within their respective disclosures. NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the condensed consolidated balance sheet date up to the date on which the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. On July 16, 2026, the PAD Business Combination Agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms. No termination fee was payable by either party. As a result of the Termination, the voting and support agreement, dated November 26, 2025, by and among Sponsor HoldCo, the Company and PAD (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), terminated in accordance with its terms, and the voting and support agreements, dated January 6, 2026 and January 19, 2026, by and among PAD, the Company and certain stockholders of PAD (the “PAD Stockholder Support Agreements,” and together with the Sponsor Support Agreement, the “PAD Support Agreements”), terminated in accordance with their respective terms. Following the Termination, the Company intends to continue to identify and evaluate opportunities to consummate an initial Business Combination. The Company must complete an initial Business Combination by November 27, 2026, unless the period within which it must complete an initial Business Combination is extended pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. 16
