9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and
accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this
evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period
covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level, due to inadequate
segregation of duties within account processes due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for
accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record keeping.

Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 covered
by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
Management’s
Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
As
required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting
purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1)
pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of our company,
(2)
provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors,
and
(3)
provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our
financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls
may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at September 30, 2025. In making
these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, management determined
that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2025 due to inadequate segregation
of duties within account processes due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and
financial reporting and record keeping.
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status
as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM
9B. OTHER INFORMATION.
During
the period covered by this Annual Report, none of the Company’s directors or executive officers has adopted or terminated a Rule
10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (each as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

Number
of Officers and Directors
Our
board of directors consists of four directors. We may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders until after we consummate our initial
business combination. Our officers are elected by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather
than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as
it deems appropriate.
58
Director
Independence
The
Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined
generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship
which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment
in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our board of directors have determined that Mr. Joyce, Ms. Panigone, and Mr. Zhang
are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors
have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Executive
Officer and Director Compensation
None
of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Until the earlier of consummation
of our initial business combination and our liquidation, beginning at the time of the IPO closing, we will pay Christy Albeck, our Chief
Financial Officer, a total of up to $5,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and other administrative and consulting
services. Our executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on
suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our initial stockholders,
officers, directors or their affiliates.
After
the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting,
management or other fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known,
in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed business combination.
It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time, because the directors of the post-combination business will
be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our executive officers will
be determined by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors.
We
do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation
of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our executive officers and directors may negotiate employment
or consulting arrangements to remain with us after the initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or
consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting
a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business
combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any
agreements with our executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
Our
board of directors has three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance
committee. Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved by our board and has the composition and responsibilities described
below. Our audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee is composed solely of independent
directors.
Audit
Committee
The
members of our audit committee are Silvia Panigone, Jian Zhang, and John Joyce. John Joyce serves as chair of the audit committee. Under
the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members on the audit committee. The rules
of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent
directors. Silvia Panigone, Jian Zhang, and John Joyce qualify as independent directors under applicable rules. Each member of the audit
committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Dr. Chung qualifies as an “audit committee financial
expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.
59
We
have adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:
●
the
appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent registered accounting firm and any
other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;
●
pre-approving
all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered accounting firm or any other registered public accounting
firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;
●
reviewing
and discussing with the independent registered accounting firm all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their
continued independence;
●
setting
clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent registered accounting firm;
●
setting
clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
●
obtaining
and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent registered accounting firm describing (i) the independent registered
accounting firm’s internal quality-control procedures and (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control
review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within,
the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such
issues;
●
reviewing
and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC
prior to us entering into such transaction; and
●
reviewing
with management, the independent registered accounting firm, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance
matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that
raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards
or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
Compensation
Committee
The
members of our Compensation Committee are Silvia Panigone, Jian Zhang, and John Joyce. John Joyce serves as chair of the compensation
committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least two members on the compensation
committee, all of whom must be independent.
We
have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:
●
reviewing
and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation,
evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the
remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer’s based on such evaluation;
●
reviewing
and approving the compensation of all of our other executive officers;
●
reviewing
our executive compensation policies and plans;
●
implementing
and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
60
●
assisting
management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
●
approving
all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers
and employees;
●
producing
a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
●
reviewing,
evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
The
charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant,
legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such
adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the
compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.
Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee
The
members of our nominating and corporate governance are Silvia Panigone, Jian Zhang, and John Joyce. John Joyce serves as chair of the
nominating and corporate governance committee.
The
primary purposes of our nominating and corporate governance committee will be to assist the board in:
●
identifying,
screening and reviewing individuals qualified to serve as directors and recommending to the board of directors candidates for nomination
for election at the annual meeting of stockholders or to fill vacancies on the board of directors;
●
developing,
recommending to the board of directors and overseeing implementation of our corporate governance guidelines;
●
coordinating
and overseeing the annual self-evaluation of the board of directors, its committees, individual directors and management in the governance
of the company; and
●
reviewing
on a regular basis our overall corporate governance and recommending improvements as and when necessary.
The
nominating and corporate governance committee is governed by a charter that complies with the rules of Nasdaq.
Director
Nominations
Our
nominating and corporate governance committee will recommend to the board of directors candidates for nomination for election at the
annual meeting of the stockholders. The board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders
during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable,
a special meeting of stockholders).
We
have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess.
In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers educational background, diversity of
professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent
the best interests of our stockholders. Prior to our initial business combination, holders of our public shares will not have the right
to recommend director candidates for nomination to our board of directors.
61
Code
of Ethics
We
have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees. We have filed a copy of our form of Code of Ethics
and our audit committee charter as exhibits to the registration statement we filed in connection with our initial public offering. You
are able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov . In addition, a copy
of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain
provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Conflicts
of Interest
In
general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada are required to present business
opportunities to a corporation if:
●
the
corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;
●
the
opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and
●
it
would not be fair to the corporation and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.
In relation to the foregoing, our amended and restated articles of incorporation provides that:
●
we
renounce any interest or expectancy in, or being offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunities that are presented
to us or our officers or directors or stockholders or affiliates thereof, including but not limited to, our initial stockholders
and their affiliates, except as may be prescribed by any written agreement with us; and
●
our
officers and directors will not be liable to our company or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of any fiduciary duty
by reason of any of our activities or any of our initial stockholders or their affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada
law.
Each
of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations
to another entity, pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to
such entity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for
an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor these fiduciary obligations
under applicable law. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity
offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director
or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be
reasonable for us to pursue.

Our
initial stockholders, officers and directors may sponsor, form or participate in other blank check companies similar to ours during the
period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. Any such companies may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing
an acquisition target, particularly in the event there is overlap among investment mandates.
Any
such companies may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an acquisition target. However, we do not currently expect that
any such other special purpose acquisition company would materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.
In addition, our initial stockholders, officers and directors, are not required to commit any specified amount of time to our affairs,
and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities, including identifying
potential business combinations and monitoring the related due diligence.
63
Potential
investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:
●
None
of our officers or directors is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest
in allocating his or her time among various business activities.
●
Our
sponsor subscribed for founder shares prior to the date of this prospectus and will purchase private placement units in a transaction
that will close simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering.
●
Our
initial stockholders and I-Bankers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement
shares, Representative shares and any public shares they hold in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination.
Additionally, our initial stockholders and I-Bankers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares,
private placement shares and Representative shares if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within the combination
period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they
hold.
If
we do not complete our initial business combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the private placement
units will be used to fund the redemption of our public shares, and the private placement units (and its underlying securities) will
expire worthless. With certain limited exceptions, the founder shares will not be transferable, assignable or salable by our initial
stockholders until the earlier of (1) six months after the completion of our initial business combination and (2) the date on which we
consummate a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization, or other similar transaction after our initial business combination
that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last sale price of our common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing
at least 150 days after our initial business combination, the founder shares will be released from the lock-up. With certain limited
exceptions, the private placement units and the securities underlying such units will not be transferable, assignable or salable by our
initial stockholders until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. The private placement units attributable
to members of our sponsor who are associated persons of I-Bankers, the representative of the underwriters, will be further subject to
certain limitations imposed by FINRA Rule 5110. Since our initial stockholders and officers and directors may directly or indirectly
own common stock, rights and private placement units (including its underlying securities) following our initial public offering, our
officers and directors may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business
with which to effectuate our initial business combination.
●
Our
officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention
or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect
to our initial business combination.
●
Our
sponsor, officers or directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a business combination and financing arrangements
as we may obtain loans from such individuals or an affiliate of our sponsor, officers or directors to finance transaction costs in
connection with an intended initial business combination. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be, at the option of the lender, convertible
into placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit but not sooner than 60 (sixty) days after the effectiveness of the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Such units would be identical to the private placement units.
●
Our
initial stockholders, officers and directors may be owed reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with certain activities
on our behalf which would only be repaid if we complete an initial business combination.
●
Our
officers and directors may be paid consulting, finder or success fees for assisting us in consummating our initial business combination.
The
conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.
64
We
are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our initial stockholders, officers
or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with such a company, we, or a committee of independent
directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or from an independent accounting firm, that such an
initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view.
In
the event that we submit our initial business combination to our public stockholders for a vote, our initial stockholders have agreed
to vote their founder shares, private placement shares, and any public shares purchased in or after our initial public offering in favor
of our initial business combination.
Limitation
on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our
amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent
authorized by Nevada law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, our amended and restated articles of incorporation
provide that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors,
except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted by the NRS.
We
entered into agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided
for in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our bylaws also permit us to maintain insurance on behalf of any officer,
director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Nevada law would permit such indemnification.
We have obtained a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against
the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our
officers and directors.
These
provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions
also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action,
if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected
to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
We
believe that these provisions, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary
to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.
ITEM
11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Executive
Officer and Director Compensation
None
of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Until the earlier of consummation
of our initial business combination and our liquidation, beginning on the closing date of our initial public offering, we had agreed
to pay Christy Albeck a total of $5,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and other administrative and consulting
services. Our executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on
suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers,
directors or their affiliates.
After
the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting,
management or other fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known,
in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders in connection with a proposed business combination.
It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time, because the directors of the post-combination business will
be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our executive officers will
be determined by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors.
We
do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation
of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our executive officers and directors may negotiate employment
or consulting arrangements to remain with us after the initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or
consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting
a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business
combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any
agreements with our executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None
of our executive officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation
committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors.

Our
officers and directors are members of our sponsor, I-B Good Works 4, LLC, and indirectly hold interests in the Company as follows:
Al Lopez holds a 4.62% equity interest, which represents the right to receive 150,000 founder shares; Christy Albeck holds a 2.31%
equity interest, which represents the right to receive 75,000 founder shares; Silvia Panigone holds a 1.54% equity interest, which
represents the right to receive 50,000 founder shares; Jian Zhang holds a 1.54% equity interest, which represents the right to receive
50,000 founder shares; and John Joyce holds a 3.08% equity interest, which represents the right to receive 100,000 founder shares.
In addition to the interest held by Jian Zhang representing the right to receive founder shares, Jian Zhang, through an affiliate,
holds a 26.8% equity interest in our sponsor, which represents the right to receive 869,565 founder shares and 200,000 private placement
units. Each of our officers and directors disclaims any beneficial ownership other than to the extent of his or her pecuniary interest
in our sponsor.
(5)
On
February 28, 2024 the sponsor distributed 1,016,514 founder shares to one of its members, James Michael McCrory, resulting in Mr.
McCrory holding his founder shares directly rather than indirectly through the sponsor.

ITEM
13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
On
September 2, 2020, our sponsor subscribed to purchase an aggregate of 4,312,500 founder shares for a subscription price of $3,000. Prior
to the above investment in the company, we had no assets, tangible or intangible. On October 26, 2023, our sponsor agreed to surrender
an aggregate of 1,068,910 shares of our common stock for no consideration, which were cancelled, resulting in our sponsor holding an
aggregate of 3,243,590 founder shares.
Our
sponsor purchased an aggregate of 610,500 private placement units, at a price of $10.00 per unit ($6,105,000 in the aggregate), in a
private placement that closed simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering. The private placement units (including
the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement units) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be
transferred, assigned, or sold until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination.
If
any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity
to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to present such business combination
opportunity to such entity prior to presenting such business combination opportunity to us. Our executive officers and directors currently
have certain relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us.
From
October 2023 through January 2024, the Company’s sponsor entered into six subscription agreements to sell membership interests
in the sponsor to the Company’s management, directors and director nominees. The membership interests represent the indirect equivalent
of 500,000 founders shares which equates to 15.4% of the 3,243,590 founders shares (with over-allotment) issued and outstanding. The
total purchase price paid for the membership interests was $2,500.
On
January 22, 2024, one of the subscription agreements representing an indirect equivalent of 100,000 founders shares or 3.08% of the 3,243,590
founders shares (with over-allotment) issued and outstanding was terminated and $500 was paid to the subscriber as a result of the termination
of the agreement.
We
entered into an Administrative Services Agreement pursuant to which we pay Christy Albeck, our Chief Financial Officer, a total of $5,000
per month for office space, utilities, secretarial support and other administrative and consulting services. Upon completion of our initial
business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. Accordingly, in the event the consummation of our initial
business combination takes a maximum of 24 months, Christy Albeck will be paid a total of $120,000 ($5,000 per month) for office space,
utilities, secretarial support and other administrative and consulting services and will be entitled to be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket
expenses.
Our
initial stockholders, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence
on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers,
directors or our or their affiliates and will determine which expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no
cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
In
addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate
of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete
an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close,
we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust
account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be, at the option of the lender, convertible into units
at a price of $10.00 per unit of the post business combination entity. The units would be identical to the private placement units. The
terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to
seek loans from parties other than our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain officers and directors as we do not believe
third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust
account.
67
We
have engaged I-Bankers in connection with our business combination to assist us in holding meetings with our stockholders to discuss
the potential business combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce us to potential investors that are interested
in purchasing our securities in connection with our initial business combination, assist us in obtaining stockholder approval for the
business combination and assist us with our press releases and public filings in connection with the business combination. The scope
of engagement excludes identifying and/or evaluating possible acquisition candidates. Pursuant to our agreement with I-Bankers, the M&A
fee payable to I-Bankers will be 3.5% of the gross proceeds of our initial public offering. If a business combination is consummated
with a target introduced to us by I-Bankers, we will also pay I-Bankers a finder fee equal to 1% of the consideration issued to the target.
We
may pay consulting, finder or success fees to our initial stockholders, officers, directors or their affiliates for assisting us in consummating
our initial business combination. Other than these consulting, finder or success fees, no compensation of any kind will be paid by us
to our initial stockholders, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, for services rendered prior to
or in connection with the completion of an initial business combination. However, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence
on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our initial stockholders,
officers, directors or our or their affiliates.
After
our initial business combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees
from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our stockholders, to the extent then known, in the tender
offer or proxy solicitation materials, as applicable, furnished to our stockholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will
be known at the time of distribution of such tender offer materials or at the time of a stockholder meeting held to consider our initial
business combination, as applicable, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive officer
and director compensation.
We
entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to the founder shares and private placement units (and underlying securities).
Policy
for Approval of Related Party Transactions
The
audit committee of our board of directors has adopted a policy setting forth the policies and procedures for its review and approval
or ratification of “related party transactions.” Pursuant to the policy, the audit committee will consider (i) the relevant
facts and circumstances of each related party transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be
obtained in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third party, (ii) the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction,
(iii) whether the transaction contravenes our code of ethics or other policies, (iv) whether the audit committee believes the relationship
underlying the transaction to be in the best interests of the company and its stockholders and (v) the effect that the transaction may
have on a director’s status as an independent member of the board and on his or her eligibility to serve on the board’s committees.
Management will present to the audit committee each proposed related party transaction, including all relevant facts and circumstances
relating thereto. Under the policy, we may consummate related party transactions only if our audit committee approves or ratifies the
transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy. The policy will not permit any director or executive officer to
participate in the discussion of, or decision concerning, a related person transaction in which he or she is the related party.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
IB
Acquisition Corp.
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of IB Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, and
the related statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern Matter
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described
in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company currently lacks the liquidity it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period
of time and the Company’s business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination within a prescribed period of
time and if not completed will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating which raises substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE
1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
IB
Acquisition Corp. f/k/a I-B Good Works 4 Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company originally incorporated under
the laws of the State of Delaware on July 7, 2020 and which converted to a Nevada corporation on September 21, 2023 for the purpose of
effecting a merger, 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 potential business combination target, and the
Company has not, nor has anyone on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any potential business
combination target with respect to an initial business combination with the Company. The Company’s investment strategy is not specific
to any sector, however, the management team and board members believe there are compelling investment opportunities in a number of areas
including consumer goods, sports and entertainment, and healthcare technology. The Company anticipates targeting companies domiciled
in North America, Europe and Asia, with an enterprise value of at least $ 500 million.
As
of September 30, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through September 30, 2025, relates to the Company’s
formation, initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” as further defined 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 on cash and
cash equivalents in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected
September 30 as its fiscal year end.
The
registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 25, 2024. On March 28, 2024, the
Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 units (the “Units”), which includes the full exercise by the
underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit, generating gross
proceeds of $ 115,000,000 , which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, and one
right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-twentieth (1/20) of one share of common stock upon the consummation of the
Business Combination.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 610,500 Units (the “Private Placement Units”)
at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, I-B Good Works 4, LLC (the “Sponsor”),
which is an affiliate of I-Bankers Securities, Inc. (“I-Bankers”). The Private Placement Units are identical to the units
sold in the Initial Public Offering. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of
the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds
are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination.
Transaction
costs amounted to $ 7,755,845 consisting of the fair value amount of $ 3,867,050 related with the issued representative shares, $ 3,450,000
of cash underwriting discount, and $ 438,795 of other offering costs.
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 M&A fees (see note 6) held in the Trust
Account and taxes payable on the interest earned on 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. Upon the closing of the
Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that $ 10.05 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, including proceeds of the sale
of the Private Placement Units, will be held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested 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,
as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds
in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.
F- 7
The
Company will provide its stockholders 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 stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means
of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender
offer will be made by the Company. The stockholders 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. The shares of common stock were recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the
Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity.”
The
Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $ 5,000,001 upon such completion
of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor
of the Business Combination.
If
the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders, which are holders of the
Founder Shares, have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Private Placement Shares (as defined below) in
connection with the completion of the Business Combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares (defined
below), Private Placement Shares (defined below) and any Public Shares they hold in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an
amendment to the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation (a) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s
obligation to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within the combination period
or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii)
waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares
if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination within the combination period. In addition, the Sponsor has agreed to vote
any Private Placement Shares held by it in favor of the Business Combination.
Additionally,
each public stockholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the
tender offer rules, the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with
any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder 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.
The
Company initially had until 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete a Business Combination, and further
extended, as described below, to 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete a Business Combination (the “Combination
Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination 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 $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses, which shall be net of taxes
payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’
rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably
possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors,
dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to its obligations under Nevada law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements
of other applicable law.
The
initial stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares if
the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public
Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account
if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The Underwriters will not receive their M&A
fee (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period
and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption
of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for
distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($ 10.05 ).
F- 8
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 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 Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with both our initial public offering and the business combination.
Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible
to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor 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.
On
September 22, 2025, the Company held the Special Meeting and the stockholders approved the Company’s First Amendment to its Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Extension Amendment”). The Extension Amendment, among other things, (i) extends
the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination to March 28, 2026 or such later date as may be approved
by the Company’s stockholders in accordance with its amended and restated articles of incorporation; (ii) provides that, prior
to the earliest of the completion of a business combination, the redemption of 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company is unable to
complete its initial Business Combination by March 28, 2026, and the redemption of shares in connection with a vote seeking to amend
any provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles relating to stockholders’ rights or any pre-initial Business
Combination activity, funds in the Company’s trust account will not be released, other than interest to pay franchise and income
taxes; (iii) sets forth the redemption and liquidation procedures if the Company does not consummate a business combination by the March
28, 2026; and (iv) provides public stockholders with the right to redeem their shares in connection with any amendment that modifies
the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the public shares if it has not consummated a business combination
by March 28, 2026, or with respect to other material pre-business combination provisions, subject to the applicable redemption limitation.
In
connection with the Special Meeting, stockholders holding 10,009,120 shares of the Company’s shares of common stock exercised their
right to redeem their shares for cash at an approximate price of $ 10.60 per share of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately
$ 106.1 million was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders, leaving approximately $ 15.8 million remaining in the Trust Account.
This amount is subject to change to account for the payment of tax withdrawals.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the
ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. 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 and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict 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 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 cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally,
any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity
in capital markets. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
On
July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law in the United States. The significant provisions
of OBBBA include the permanent extension and modification of certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including international
tax provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented in later
years. The Company is evaluating the provisions of OBBBA but it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
F- 9
Excise Tax
On
August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for,
among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic
(i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the
repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1%
of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax,
repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of
stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury
(the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or
avoidance of the excise tax. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.
Any
redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise,
may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business
Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions
and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii)
the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued
not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content
of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the
redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction
in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.
During
the second quarter of 2024, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations with respect to the timing and payment of the excise
tax. These regulations provided that the filing and payment deadline for any liability incurred during the period from January 1, 2023
to December 31, 2023 would be October 31, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating its options with respect to this obligation. Any
amount of such excise tax not paid in full, will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 10 %
interest per annum and a 5 % underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25 % of the total liability for any amount that
is unpaid from November 1, 2024 until paid in full.
In
connection with the Special Meeting held on September 22, 2025, stockholders holding 10,009,120 shares of the Company’s shares
of common stock exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at an approximate price of $ 10.60 per share of the funds in the
Trust Account. As a result, approximately $ 106.1 million was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders, leaving approximately
$ 15.8 million remaining in the Trust Account. This amount is subject to change to account for the payment of tax withdrawals. The Company
has recorded 1% excise tax based on the amount redeemed or an aggregate amount of $ 1,061,310 excise tax payable. As of September 30,
2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company’s aggregate excise tax payable amounted to $ 1,061,310 and $ 0 , respectively.
Going
Concern Consideration
As
of September 30, 2025, the Company had $ 428,700 in cash, $ 787,365 in restricted cash and a working capital deficit of $ 588,202 . In connection
with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting
Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about
an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the Company currently lacks the liquidity
it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the financial
statements are issued as it expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to address this uncertainty through
a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination
will be successful within the Combination Period. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
F- 10
NOTE
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
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 independent registered public accounting firm 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 stockholder 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 financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s 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 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 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.
F- 11
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company
had $ 428,700 and $ 822,799 in cash as of September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024, respectively, and no cash equivalents.
Cash
– Restricted
Cash
that is encumbered or otherwise restricted as to its use is included in cash – restricted. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the
balance was $ 787,365 and $ 0 , respectively. Cash – restricted at September 30, 2025 represents cash that was withdrawn from the
Trust Account to pay income taxes but is yet to be utilized at the end of the period.
Cash
and investments held in Trust account
As
of September 30, 2025 and 2024, all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds which are invested only in
U.S. government securities. Investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting
period. Interest and dividends earned from investments in these securities are included in the statements of operations.
Offering
Costs
The
Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A —
“Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees, cash underwriting discount,
and deferred underwriting fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs
were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on relative fair value basis, compared
to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged against the carrying value of ordinary shares
subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and offering costs allocated to Public Rights (as defined
in Note 3) were charged to additional paid in capital at the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
Common
Stock 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 Public Shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering
were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Rights) and as such, the initial carrying value of Public Shares classified
as temporary equity are the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. 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 Initial Public Offering, 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 retained earnings
or additional paid-in capital in the absence of retained earnings. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, common stock subject
to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the
Company’s balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying
value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying
amount of redeemable shares are affected by charges against retained earnings or additional paid-in capital in the absence of retained
earnings.
In
connection with the Special Meeting held on September 22, 2025, stockholders holding 10,009,120 shares of the Company’s shares
of common stock exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at an approximate price of $ 10.60 per share of the funds in the
Trust Account. As a result, approximately $ 106.1 million was removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders, leaving approximately
$ 15.8 million remaining in the Trust Account. This amount is subject to change to account for the payment of tax withdrawals.

Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the recognition of deferred
tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities
and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. 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. As of
September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s deferred tax asset had a full valuation allowance recorded against it. Our effective
tax rate was 22.04 % and 25.39 % for the year ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the
statutory tax rate of 21 % for the period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, due to the valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets,
interest and penalties and true up of startup costs per 2024 filed return.
ASC
740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
period, disclosure and transition.
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 September 30, 2025 and 2024. 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 identified the United States as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is subject to income taxation
by major taxing authorities since inception. These examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus
of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect
that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Net
Income Per Common Stock
The
Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income
per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
Remeasurement associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates
fair value.
The
calculation of diluted net income per share does not consider the effect of the rights issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public
Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the rights are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of
September 30, 2025 and 2024, the rights are exercisable to purchase 605,525 shares of common stock in the aggregate. The weighted average
of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net income common stock since the inclusion of such rights would be anti-dilutive.
The rights cannot be converted to shares of common stock prior to an initial Business Combination; therefore, they have been classified
as anti-dilutive.

Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution,
which at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $ 250,000 . The Company has not experienced losses on the cash account
and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account. Uninsured cash amount as of September 30,
2025 and 2024, are $ 966,065 and $ 572,799 , respectively.
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
Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to
their short-term nature.
Recent
Accounting Standards
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. ASU 2023-07 became effective as of December 31, 2024 and
the Company’s management adopted ASU 2023-07 in its financial statements and related disclosures (see Note 10).
F- 14
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect
on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE
3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGs
Pursuant
to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 11,500,000 Units, which includes a full exercise by the underwriter of their over-allotment
option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s
common stock, and one right. Each right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-twentieth (1/20) of one share of common stock upon
the consummation of the Business Combination.
NOTE
4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor has purchased an aggregate of 610,500 Private Placement Units at a price
of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit from the Company in a private placement. Each Private Unit will consist of one share of common stock
(“Private Placement Share”) and one right (“Private Placement Right”). Each Private Placement Right will entitle
the holder to receive one-twentieth of one share of common stock at the closing of a Business Combination. Certain proceeds from the
sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the
Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Units will
be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placements Units
and all underlying securities will expire worthless.
NOTE
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder
Shares
On
September 2, 2020, the Sponsor subscribed to purchase an aggregate of 4,312,500 shares (the “Founder Shares”) for a subscription
price of $ 3,000 . On October 26, 2023, the Sponsor agreed to surrender an aggregate of 1,068,910 shares of the Company’s common
stock for no consideration, which were cancelled, resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 3,243,590 Founder Shares. The subsequent
cancellation is retrospectively reflected in the financial statements from day one.
The
Company maintains the ownership of Founder Shares by the initial stockholders at 22.0 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding
shares of common stock upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, not including the Private Placement Shares or the Representative
Shares. Up to 423,077 Founder Shares held by the initial stockholders are no longer subject to forfeiture due to the underwriters’
over-allotment option exercised in full at the Initial Public Offering.
The
initial stockholders and the officers and directors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier
of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of the Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation,
merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction after its initial business combination that results in all of its public stockholders
having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing
at least 150 days after its initial business combination, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.
Due
to Sponsor
During
the year ended September 30, 2025, the Sponsor incurred travel expenses amounting to $ 2,788 which are reimbursable by Su De Tang Global
Corporation, the reimbursement was paid to the Company through the proceeds of the working capital loans. As of September 30, 2025 and
2024, the Company had due to Sponsor, non-interest bearing and due on demand in the amount of $ 2,788 and $ 0 , respectively.
F- 15
Subscription
Agreements
From
October 2023 through January 2024, the Company’s Sponsor entered into six subscription agreements to sell membership interests
in the Sponsor to members of management, directors and director nominees. The membership interests represent the indirect equivalent
of 525,000 Founders Shares which equates to 16.19 % of the 3,243,590 Founders Shares issued and outstanding. The total purchase price
paid for the membership interests was $ 2,500 . The Company modified the agreements in February 2024, with the intent to clarify that the
Founder Shares are “earned upon the completion of a successful Business Combination” and the modified agreement is to be
effective contemporaneously with the date and time of the initial subscription agreements. The sale of the membership interests to the
Company’s management, directors and director’s nominees is 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 grant date.
On
January 22, 2024, one of the subscription agreements representing an indirect equivalent of 100,000 Founders Shares or 3.08 % of the 3,243,590
Founders Shares (with over-allotment) issued and outstanding was terminated and $ 500 was paid to the subscriber as a result of the termination
of the agreement.
On
September 11, 2024, one of the subscription agreements representing an indirect equivalent of 100,000 Founders Shares or 3.08 % of the
3,243,590 Founders Shares (with over-allotment) issued and outstanding was amended in which the Sponsor granted an additional 50,000
Founder Shares bringing the total to 150,000 Founder Shares or 4.06 % of the 3,243,590 Founders Shares (with over-allotment) issued and
outstanding. The total purchase price paid for the membership interest was $ 750 .
The
fair value of the 425,000 shares granted through March 28, 2024, to the Company’s directors and director nominees was approximately
$ 1,734,000 or approximately $ 4.08 per share. The fair value of the additional 50,000 shares granted on September 11, 2024, to the Company’s
directors and director nominees was approximately $ 499,000 or approximately $ 9.98 per share. The Founders Shares were granted subject
to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares is recognized
only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. As of
September 30, 2025, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation
expense has been recognized. 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 Founders Shares times the grant date fair value per
share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares.
The
Founder Shares issued to the directors and director nominees were valued using a Black-Scholes model. The following criteria presents
the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the Founder Share valuations:

Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Chief Financial Officer a sum
of $ 5,000 per month commencing on October 1, 2023. Upon completion of the initial business combination or the liquidation, the Company
will cease paying these monthly fees. On January 22, 2024, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer resigned, and the Administrative
Services Agreement was terminated.
F- 16
On
January 22, 2024, the Company appointed a new Chief Financial Officer and entered into an Administrative Services Agreement dated January
24, 2024, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Chief Financial Officer a sum of $ 5,000 per month commencing at the time of
the Initial Public Offering closing. The agreement further specified that upon completion of the initial business combination or the
liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees.
For
the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $ 60,000 in fees for these services, of which $ 15,000 is recorded as accrued expenses
in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2025. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $ 45,000 in fees for these
services, of which $ 15,000 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 2024
NOTE
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCY
Registration
Rights
The
holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (and their underlying securities) any Units that may be issued upon conversion
of the Working Capital Loans (and underlying securities), and Representative Shares are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a
registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register such securities
for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company
register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration
statements filed subsequent to the completion of a 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 does not contain liquidated 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 and Business Combination Marketing Agreement
The
Company engaged I-Bankers to act as Underwriters on the Initial Public Offering of the Company’s Units, for $ 115,000,000 and the
simultaneous listing on the Nasdaq Global Market. The Underwriters had a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 Units
to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On March 28, 2024, simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Underwriters elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase an
additional 1,500,000 Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit.
The
Underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $ 0.30 per Unit, or $ 3,450,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of
the Initial Public Offering. In addition, under a business combination marketing agreement, the Company engaged I-Bankers to provide
marketing services in connection with the Business Combination and will pay I-Bankers a cash fee for such marketing services upon the
consummation of the Business Combination in an amount equal to, in the aggregate, 3.5 % of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering
(the “M&A fee”) or $ 4,025,000 in the aggregate. If the Company doesn’t complete a business combination, no fee
will be due. In addition, the Company will pay the I-Bankers a finder fee equal to 1.0 % of the consideration issued to a target if the
business combination is consummated with a target introduced by the I-Bankers.
On
the closing of the Initial Public Offering, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the Company issued as compensation 395,000 shares
of common stock for no cash consideration (the “Representative Shares”).
Working
Capital Loan
On
September 16, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $ 150,000 to Su De Tang Global Corporation
(the “Working Capital Loan”). The principal balance of this Promissory Note represents the first of potentially three instalments
of the Working Capital Loan. The Working Capital Loan bears no interest and will be extinguished without any payment required at the
consummation of a Business Combination with Su De Tang Global Corporation. The Company has borrowed a total of $ 147,629 under the Working
Capital. As of September 30, 2025, the Company repaid an amount of $ 147,629 . Borrowings under the note are no longer available.

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred
Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share with
such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of September
30, 2025 and 2024, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Common
Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders
of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share . As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, there were 4,249,090 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding, excluding 1,490,880 and 11,500,000 shares of common stock subject to possible redemption.

The
Company did not have any significant deferred tax assets or liabilities at September 30, 2025 and 2024.

As
of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a total of $ 0 and $ 0 , respectively, of U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers available
to offset future taxable income. The federal net operating loss can be carried forward indefinitely. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024,
the Company did not have any state net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income.
In
assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of
future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies
in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty
exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the
year ended September 30, 2024, the change in the valuation allowance was $ 109,903 . For the year ended September 30, 2025, the change
in the valuation allowance was $ 41,866 .

in warrants, transaction costs associated with warrants and the recording of full valuation allowances on deferred tax assets.
The
Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction in various state and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination
by the various taxing authorities.
NOTE
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each
reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
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 our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
As
of September 30, 2025, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $ 15,890,194 in a money market fund that is invested primarily
in U.S. Treasury Securities. For the period ended September 30, 2025, the Company had withdrawn $ 1,711,366 of interest earned on the
Trust Account to pay for income taxes and $ 106,131,025 from Trust Account in connection with redemptions.
As
of September 30, 2024, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised of $ 118,601,873 in a money market fund that is invested primarily
in U.S. Treasury Securities. Through September 30, 2024, the Company has not withdrawn any of the interest earned on the Trust Account.
The
following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring
basis as of September 30, 2025, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such
fair value.:

10. 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 chief operating decision maker,
or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The
Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer (“CODM”), 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 operating segment.
When
evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews key metrics, which
includes general and administrative expenses and interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account which are
included in the statements of operations.
The
key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account
and general and administrative expenses. The CODM reviews interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account
to measure and monitor stockholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining
compliance with the trust agreement. General and administrative expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast
cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination 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.
NOTE
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The
Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the 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 financial statements.
