GESHER ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2025
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations
Gesher Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”)
is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 29, 2024 . The Company was incorporated
for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business
Combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company has not selected any specific Business Combination
target and the Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any
Business Combination target with respect to an initial Business Combination with the Company.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced
any operations. All activity for the period from August 29, 2024 (inception) through March 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s
formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and subsequent to the
Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues
until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the
form of interest income on investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31
as its fiscal year end.
The registration statement for the Company’s
Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 14, 2025. On March 24, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering
of 14,375,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the
“Public Shares”), which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,875,000
Units, at $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 143,750,000 , which is described in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one Class A
ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”) .
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 565,625 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $ 10.00 per
Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Gesher Acquisition Sponsor II LLC (the “Sponsor”),
and BTIG, LLC (“BTIG”), the representative of the underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $ 5,656,250 , which is described
in Note 4. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Private
Placement Warrants” and together with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) . Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to
purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Of those 565,625 Private Placement Units, the
Sponsor purchased 403,125 Private Placement Units and BTIG purchased 162,500 Private Placement Units.
Transaction costs amounted to $ 8,409,601 , consisting
of $ 2,875,000 of cash underwriting fee, $ 5,031,250 of deferred underwriting fee, and $ 503,351 of other offering costs.
The Business Combination must be with one or more
target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the net balance in the Trust Account (as defined below)
(excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held and income taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the
time of the signing an agreement to enter into a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination
if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise
acquires a controlling interest in the target 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.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering,
on March 24, 2025, an amount of $ 144,181,250 ($ 10.03 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the Private Placement
Units, was placed in the trust account (the “Trust Account”), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as
trustee. The funds are initially to be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or
less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct
U.S. government treasury obligations; the holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose
of facilitating the intended Business Combination. To mitigate the risk that might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes
of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that the Company holds investments in the Trust Account, the Company may,
at any time (based on management team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to the potential status under the Investment Company
Act), instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in
cash or in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust
Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the
Private Placement Units will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the Company’s
initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial
Business Combination within 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s
board of directors may approve (the “Completion Window”), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the Company’s
public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and
articles of association to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection
with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the Company’s public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial
Business Combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’
rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of
the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2025
(Unaudited)
The Company will provide the Company’s public
shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination
either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder
vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business
Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public shareholders will be entitled
to redeem their shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated
as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held
in the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations.
The amount in the Trust Account is initially valued at $ 10.03 per public share.
The ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
were recorded at a redemption value and were classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480,
“Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
The Company will have only the duration of the
Completion Window to complete the initial Business Combination. However, if the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination
within the Completion Window, the Company will as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter,
redeem the 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 on the funds held in the Trust Account (less income taxes payable and up to $ 100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses),
divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will constitute full and complete payment for the public shares
and completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation or other
distributions, if any), subject to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and subject
to the other requirements of applicable law.
The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered
into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to
their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination or an earlier redemption
in connection with the commencement of the procedures to consummate the initial Business Combination if the Company determines it is desirable
to facilitate the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder
shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder
shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, although they will be entitled
to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial
Business Combination within the Completion Window and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account; and (iv) vote
any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market
and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination.

GESHER ACQUISITION CORP. II
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2025
(Unaudited)
The Sponsor 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 a prospective
target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business
Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.03 per public share and (ii) the
actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $ 10.03 per
share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less income taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any
claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account
(whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of
the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”). However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor
has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes
that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure that the Sponsor would be able
to satisfy those obligations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $ 1,682,334
of cash and a working capital surplus of $ 1,700,228 .
In order to finance transaction costs in connection
with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may,
but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes
a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the
Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from
the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible
into private placement units of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $ 10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. As of
March 31, 2025, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
In connection with the Company’s assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties
about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” as of March 31, 2025, the Company has sufficient funds for the
working capital needs of the Company until a minimum of one year from the date of issuance of these condensed financial statements. The
Company cannot assure that its plans to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.
The Company does not believe that it will need
to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the Company’s estimate
of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than
the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial Business
Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because the
Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon completion of the Business Combination, in which case the
Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (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 financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting 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 financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus for its Initial Public Offering as filed with the SEC on March 21, 2025, as well
as the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025. The interim results for the three months ended
March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company Status
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, 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 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 the accompanying
unaudited condensed 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 accompanying
unaudited condensed financial statements.
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 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 $ 1,682,334 in cash and no cash
equivalents as of March 31, 2025.

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust
Account
The Company’s portfolio of investments is
comprised of cash and 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 investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally
have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised
of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities, which are presented at fair value. Gains and losses
resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in income from investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying
unaudited condensed statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available
market information. As of March 31, 2025, of the assets held in the Trust Account, $ 144,197,761 was held in a money market funds and $ 97,162
was held in cash.
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 coverage 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.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the 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 related to the Initial Public Offering. 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 Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between Class A ordinary shares and Warrants,
using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to 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
Public Warrants and Private Placement Units were charged to shareholders’ equity (deficit) as Public Warrants and Private Placement
Warrants, after management’s evaluation, were accounted for under equity treatment.
Transaction costs amounted to $ 8,409,601 , consisting
of $ 2,875,000 of cash underwriting fee, $ 5,031,250 of deferred underwriting fee, and $ 503,351 of other offering costs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which
qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying
amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income
Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax
assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the unaudited condensed financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities
that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences
are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold
and a measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2025,
there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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 is considered to be an exempted Cayman
Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction 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 period presented.

Warrant Instruments
The Company accounted for the Public Warrants
and the Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement in accordance with
the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified
the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values. Such guidance provides that the Warrants described above will
not be precluded from equity classification. Equity-classified contracts are initially measured at fair value (or allocated value). Subsequent
changes in fair value are not recognized as long as the contracts continue to be classified in equity in accordance with ASC 480 and ASC
815.
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 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 they occur 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 Initial Public Offering, the Company
recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption 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 March 31, 2025, Class
A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’
equity (deficit) section of the Company’s condensed balance sheet. As of March 31, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares subject to
possible redemption reflected in the condensed balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Net Income per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure
requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of ordinary shares, which are referred
to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of ordinary shares.
This presentation assumes a business combination as the most likely outcome. Net income per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the
net income by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period.

Share-Based Compensation
The Company records share-based compensation in
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Share Compensation” (“ASC 718”), guidance to account for its
share-based compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee share option or similar equity instrument.
The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number
of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are
recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any
previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting
(Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim
basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well
as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public
entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or
loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures
currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures
required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The
Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on August 28, 2024, date of incorporation.
Management does not believe that any other recently
issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed
financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, on March
24, 2025, the Company sold 14,375,000 Units, which includes a full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option amounting
to 1,875,000 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 Public Warrant.
Warrants — As of March
31, 2025, there were 7,470,313 Warrants outstanding, including 7,187,500 Public Warrants and 282,813 Private Placement Warrants. Each
whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as
discussed herein. The Warrants cannot be exercised until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, and will
expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, five years after the completion of the initial 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 warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless
a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective
and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A
ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered,
qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the
event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant
will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be
required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser
of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A ordinary share underlying
such unit.
Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the
Company has agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days, after the closing of its Business Combination,
it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement for the
Initial Public Offering or a new registration statement covering the registration under the Securities Act of the Class A
ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and thereafter will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to
become effective within 60 business days following the Company’s initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus
relating to the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the expiration of the warrants in accordance
with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise
of the warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60 th ) business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination,
warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have
failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of
the Securities Act or another exemption. 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, and in the event the Company
does not so elect, the Company 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.

If the holders exercise their public warrants
on a cashless basis, they would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the 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” of the Class A ordinary shares over the exercise price of the warrants
by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” is the average reported closing price of the Class A ordinary
shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received
by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, as applicable.
Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A
Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $ 18.00 : The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:
● in
whole and not in part;
● at
a price of $ 0.01 per warrant;
● upon
a minimum of 30 days ’ prior written notice of redemption (the “ 30 -day redemption period”); and
● if,
and only if, the last reported sale price (the “closing price”) of the
Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ 18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise
or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period commencing at least 30 days
after completion of the initial Business Combination and ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends
the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
Additionally, if the number of outstanding Class A
ordinary shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A ordinary shares, or by a sub-division of ordinary shares
or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, subdivision or similar event, the number of Class A
ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding ordinary shares.
A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of ordinary shares entitling holders to purchase Class A ordinary shares
at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of Class A ordinary shares equal to
the product of (i) the number of Class A ordinary shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other
equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A ordinary shares) and (ii) the
quotient of (x) the price per Class A ordinary share paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these
purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A ordinary shares, in determining
the price payable for Class A ordinary shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well
as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of
Class A ordinary shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first
date on which the Class A ordinary shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the
right to receive such rights.
Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, the Sponsor and BTIG purchased an aggregate of 565,625 Private Placement Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement
Unit, in a private placement. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one Private Placement Warrant. Each Private
Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $ 11.50 per shares, subject to adjustments.
Each Private Placement Warrant will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination and will
not expire except upon liquidation. If the Initial Business Combination is not completed within the Completion Window, the net proceeds
from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject
to the requirements of applicable law).
The Private Placement Warrants contained in the
Private Placement Units are identical to the Warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering except, the Private Placement Warrants
(i) may not (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions,
be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) are
entitled to registration rights and (iii) with respect to Private Placement Warrants held by BTIG, and/or its designees, are not
exercisable more than five years from the commencement of sales in the Initial Public Offering in accordance with Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority Rule 5110(g)(8).

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions
Founder Shares
On November 12, 2024, the Sponsor made a
capital contribution of $ 25,000 , or approximately $ 0.005 per share, through payments of offering costs and expenses on the Company’s
behalf, for which the Company issued 5,513,483 Class B ordinary shares, known as founder shares, to the Sponsor. Up to 622,231 of
the founder shares were subject to surrender by the Sponsor for no consideration depending on the extent to which the underwriters’
over-allotment is exercised. On March 24, 2025, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full as part of the closing
of the Initial Public Offering. As such, the 622,231 founder shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. The Sponsor is holding 5,198,483
founder shares, after giving effect to the founder share interest assignment described below.
On March 5, 2025, the Sponsor granted membership
interests equivalent to an aggregate of 315,000 founder shares to the four independent directors, the chief financial officer (“CFO”), and
two service providers, in exchange for their services as independent directors, CFO, and service providers to the Company through the
Company’s initial Business Combination. The founder shares, represented by such membership interests, will remain with the Sponsor
if the holder of such membership interests are no longer serving the Company prior to the initial Business Combination. The membership
interest assignment of the founder shares to the holders of such interests are in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock
Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured
at fair value upon the assignment date. The total fair value of the 315,000 founder shares represented by such membership interests assigned
to the holders of such interests on March 5, 2025 was $ 472,500 or $ 1.50 per share. The membership interests were assigned subject to a
performance condition (i.e., providing services through Business Combination). Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date
a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of
membership interests that ultimately vest times the assignment date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount
initially received for the assignment of the membership interests. As of March 31, 2025, the Company determined that the initial Business
Combination is not considered probable and therefore no compensation expense has been recognized.
The founder shares are designated as Class B
ordinary shares and, except as described below, are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the units sold in the Initial
Public Offering and holders of founder shares have the same shareholder rights as public shareholders, except (i) the founder shares
are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below; (ii) the founder shares are entitled to registration
rights; (iii) the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant
to which they have agreed to (A) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and
public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, (B) waive their redemption rights with respect
to their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the
Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s
obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100 % of the public shares
if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Completion Window or (B) with respect to any other
material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, (C) waive their rights to
liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares or private placement shares if the Company fails
to complete the initial Business Combination within the Completion Window, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions
from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within
such time period and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the Trust Account and (D) vote any founder shares and private
placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering (including in open market and
privately-negotiated transactions, aside from shares they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the
Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination transaction) in favor of the initial Business
Combination; (iv) the founder shares are automatically convertible into Class A ordinary shares in connection with the consummation
of the initial Business Combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described

and its ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets
or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions,
declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts
in Ukraine and the Middle East. The Company cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration
or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact the Company’s business and its ability to complete an initial Business
Combination.

the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority
of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such 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,
27.72 % of the sum of (i) the total number of all ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (including
any Class A ordinary shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option and excluding the Class A ordinary
shares underlying the Private Placement Units and the Class A ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants issued
to the Sponsor), plus (ii) all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, in connection with
the closing of the initial Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller
in the initial Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or to
officers or directors upon conversion of working capital loans) minus (iii) any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public
shareholders in connection with an initial Business Combination; provided that such conversion of founder shares will never occur on a
less than one-for-one basis.
Holders of record of the Company’s Class A
ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.
Unless specified in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or as required by the Companies Act (As Revised) of
the Cayman Islands, as may be amended from time to time, or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and
the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes
cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general
meeting of the Company is generally required to approve any matter voted on by the shareholders. Approval of certain actions requires
a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, which (except as specified below) requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds
of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable
general meeting, and pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, such actions include amending the Company’s
amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. There
is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, meaning, following the Company’s initial Business Combination,
the holders of more than 50 % of the ordinary shares voted for the appointment of directors can elect all of the directors. Prior to the
consummation of the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Class B ordinary shares will (i) have the right to vote
on the appointment and removal of directors and (ii) be entitled to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the
Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents,
in each case, as a result of the Company approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). Holders
of the Class A ordinary shares will not be entitled to vote on these matters during such time. These provisions of the amended and
restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended if approved by a special resolution passed by the affirmative vote
of at least 90 % (or, where such amendment is proposed in respect of the consummation of the initial Business Combination, two-thirds)
of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable
general meeting of the Company.

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s
financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with
the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the
use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions
about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities
based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:
Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs based on an assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The fair value of the Public Warrants is $ 1,890,313 , or $ 0.263 per
Public Warrant. The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The Public Warrants have been classified
within shareholders’ equity (deficit) and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The following table presents the quantitative
information regarding market assumptions used in the Level 3 valuation of the Public Warrants:

The Company classifies its securities in the Trust
Account that are invested in funds, such as Mutual Funds or Money Market Funds, that primarily invest in U.S. Treasury and equivalent
securities as trading securities in accordance with ASC Topic 320, “Investments–Debt and Equity Securities”. Trading
securities are recorded at fair market value on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
At March 31, 2025, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised
of $ 144,197,761 in a mutual fund that is invested primarily in U.S. Treasury Securities and $ 97,162 in cash. For the three months ended
March 31, 2025, the Company did not withdraw any of the interest earned on the Trust Account.

MARCH 31, 2025
(Unaudited)
Note 9 — Segment Information
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,”
establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic
areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is
available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s CODM, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as
the CFO, who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial
performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has 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 condensed statement of operation as net income (loss). The measure
of segment asset is reported on the condensed balance sheet as total assets. When evaluating the Company’s performance and making
key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:
March 31,
2025
Trust Account
$ 144,294,923
Cash
$ 1,682,334
Three Months
Ended
March 31,
2025
Operating and formation costs
$ 84,174
Interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account
$ 113,673
The CODM reviews interest earned on 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 Trust Agreement.
Operating and formation costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM
to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination or similar transaction within the
business combination period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements
to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. Operating and formation costs, as reported on the condensed statement 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
condensed statement of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
The accounting policies used to measure the profit
and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
Note 10 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred
after the condensed balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review,
the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial
statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
References in this report (the “Quarterly
Report”) to “we,” “us” or the “Company” refer to Gesher Acquisition Corp. II. References to
our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and references to the “Sponsor”
refer to Gesher Acquisition Sponsor II LLC. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results
of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statement and the notes thereto contained elsewhere
in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical
fact included in this Quarterly Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, business
strategy and the plans and objectives of our management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly
Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend”
and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements
are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual
results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our
filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are
qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto
included in this Quarterly Report under “Item 1. Financial Statements”.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the
Cayman Islands on August 29, 2024 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share
purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination
using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Unit, 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.
In 2024, the SEC adopted additional rules and
regulations relating to SPACs. The 2024 SPAC Rules require, among other matters, (i) additional disclosures relating to SPAC sponsors
and related persons; (ii) additional disclosures relating to SPAC Business Combination transactions; (iii) additional disclosures
relating to dilution and to conflicts of interest involving sponsors and their affiliates in connection with proposed Business Combination
transactions; (iv) additional disclosures regarding projections included in SEC filings in connection with proposed Business Combination
transactions; and (v) the requirement that both the SPAC and its target company be co-registrants in connection with registration
statements relating to proposed Business Combination transactions. In addition, the SEC’s adopting release provided guidance describing
circumstances in which a SPAC could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including its duration, asset composition,
business purpose, and the activities of the SPAC and its management team. The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially affect our ability to negotiate
and complete our initial Business Combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor
generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from August 29, 2024 (inception) through March 31, 2025 were organizational activities,
those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination.
We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities 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 three months ended March 31, 2025, we
had a net income of $29,499, which consists of operating costs of $84,174, offset by interest income on cash and marketable securities
held in the Trust Account of $113,673.
Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results
of Operations
Our results of operations and our ability to complete
an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the
financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our results of operations and our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination
could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation,
fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health
considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict
the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business
and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
18
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 24, 2025, we consummated the Initial
Public Offering of 14,375,000 Units which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount
of 1,875,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $143,750,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public
Offering, we consummated the sale of 565,625 Private Placement Units at $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the
Company’s sponsor and the representative of the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering, generating gross proceeds of $5,656,250.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full
exercise of the over-allotment option, a total of $144,181,250 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $8,409,601 in Initial Public
Offering related costs, including $2,875,000 of cash underwriting fee, $5,031,250 of deferred underwriting fee, and $503,351 of other
offering costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash
used in operating activities was $231,741. Net income of $29,499 was affected by interest earned on cash and marketable securities held
in the Trust Account of $113,673 and payment of operation costs through promissory note of $37,574. Changes in operating assets and liabilities
used $185,141 of cash for operating activities.
As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and marketable
securities held in the Trust Account of $144,294,923. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend
to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account
(less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in
part, as consideration to complete our 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, 2025, we had cash of $1,682,334.
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 a Business Combination.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection
with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may,
but are not obligated to enter into Working Capital Loans as may be required. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company
would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working
capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay
the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement units of the post
Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. As of March 31, 2025, no such Working Capital Loans
were outstanding.
In connection with the Company’s assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties
about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” as of March 31, 2025, the Company has sufficient funds for the
working capital needs of the Company until a minimum of one year from the date of issuance of these condensed financial statements. The
Company cannot assure that its plans to consummate an Initial Business Combination will be successful.
The Company does not believe that it will need
to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the Company’s estimate
of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than
the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial Business
Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because the
Company becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon completion of the Business Combination, in which case the
Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to
be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust
Account, we may, at any time, (based on our management team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status
under the Investment Company Act) instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the
funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank.
19
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities,
which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 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, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly
fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support. We began incurring these fees on April 1, 2025
and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
The underwriters had a 45-day option from the
date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 1,875,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On March 24,
2025, the underwriters elected to fully exercise their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,875,000 Units at a price of $10.00
per Unit.
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting
discount of 2.00% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $2,875,000 in the aggregate, which was paid upon the closing
of the Initial Public Offering.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of unaudited condensed financial
statement and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP 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 financial statement,
and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the
following critical accounting policies:
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 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 they occur 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 Initial
Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB
issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments
in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided
to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in
the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the
CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding
how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in
interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments
in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.
Management does not believe
that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our
unaudited condensed financial statement.
20
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined
by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls
and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls
and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our
Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period ended March
31, 2025.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls
and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits
must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances
of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
Not applicable.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
To the knowledge of our management team, there
is no material litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or
against any of our property.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2
of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Quarterly Report. For additional risks relating to our operations,
other than as set forth below, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our final prospectus filed with the SEC
on March 21, 2025. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial
condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We
may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Changes in international trade policies,
tariffs and treaties affecting imports and exports may have a material adverse effect on our search for an initial Business Combination
target or the performance or business prospects of a post-Business Combination company.
There have recently been significant changes to
international trade policies and tariffs affecting imports and exports. Any significant increases in tariffs on goods or materials or
other changes in trade policy could negatively affect our search for a target and/or our ability to complete our initial Business Combination.
Recently, the U.S. has implemented a range of
new tariffs and increases to existing tariffs. In response to the tariffs announced by the U.S., other countries have imposed, are considering
imposing, and may in the future impose new or increased tariffs on certain exports from the United States. There is currently significant
uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to trade policies, taxes, government
regulations and tariffs, and we cannot predict whether, and to what extent, current tariffs will continue or trade policies will change
in the future.
Tariffs, or the threat of tariffs or increased
tariffs, could have a significant negative impact on certain businesses (either due to domestic businesses’ reliance on imported
goods or dependence on access to foreign markets, or foreign businesses’ reliance on sales into the United States). In addition,
retaliatory tariffs could have a significant negative impact on foreign businesses that rely on imports from the United States, and domestic
businesses that rely on exporting goods internationally. These tariffs and threats of tariffs and other potential trade policy changes
could negatively affect the attractiveness of certain initial Business Combination targets, or lead to material adverse effects on a post-Business
Combination company. Among other things, historical financial performance of companies affected by trade policies and/or tariffs may not
provide useful guidance as to the future performance of such companies, because future financial performance of those companies may be
materially affected by new U.S. tariffs or foreign retaliatory tariffs, or other changes to trade policies. The business prospects of
a particular target for a Business Combination could change even after we enter into a Business Combination agreement, as a result of
tariffs or the threat of tariffs that may have a material impact on that target's business, and it may be costly or impractical for us
to terminate that Business Combination agreement. These factors could affect our selection of a Business Combination target.
We may not be able to adequately address the risks
presented by these tariffs or other potential trade policy changes. As a result, we may deem it costly, impractical or risky to complete
an initial Business Combination with a particular target or with a target in a particular industry or from a particular country. Consequently,
the pool of potential target companies may be reduced, which could impair our ability to identify a suitable target and to complete an
initial Business Combination. If we complete an initial Business Combination with such a target, the post-Business Combination company’s
operations and financial results could be adversely affected as a result of tariffs or changes to trade policies, which may cause the
market value of the securities of the post-Business Combination company to decline.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
and Use of Proceeds.
On March 24, 2025, we consummated the Initial
Public Offering of 14,375,000 Units which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount
of 1,875,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $143,750,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public
Offering, we consummated the sale of 565,625 Private Placement Units $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the
Company’s sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $5,656,250.
Simultaneous with the consummation of the Initial
Public Offering, the Sponsor consummated the private placement units of an aggregate of 565,625 units at a price of $10.00 per Private
Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $5,656,250. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable
warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price
of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2)
of the Securities Act.
The Private Warrants are identical to the warrants
underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants are not transferable, assignable or salable
until after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial
Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the Private Placement Units, an aggregate of $144,181,250 was placed in
the Trust Account.
We paid a total of $8,409,601, consisting of $2,875,000
of cash underwriting fee, $5,031,250 of deferred underwriting fee, and $503,351 of other offering costs and expenses related to the Initial
Public Offering.
For a description of the use of the proceeds generated
in our Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report.
