ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 3, 2025, formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination with one or more businesses that we have not yet identified. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a business combination will be successful
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from July 3, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the period from July 3, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $56,044, which consists of formation, general and administrative costs of $133,876 and compensation expense of $218,250 partially offset by interest income on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $296,082.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Following the Initial Public Offering, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the Private Placement, a total of $230,000,000 was initially placed in the Trust Account. We incurred costs of $14,211,396, consisting of $4,000,000 of cash underwriting fee, $9,800,000 of deferred underwriting fee and $411,396 of other offering costs.
For the period from July 3, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $341,480. Net loss of $56,044 was affected by payment of operating and formation paid costs through promissory note of $29,796, compensation expense of $218,250 and interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account of $296,082. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $237,400 of cash for operating activities.
As of December 31, 2025, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $230,296,082 (including $296,082 of interest income) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, if any, and excludes the deferred underwriting fee), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a 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 convertible into units of the post business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as follows:
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on December 11, 2025, the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Sponsor to pay an aggregate of $12,500 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support. For the period from July 3, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, we incurred $8,468 in fees for these services, of which such amount is included in due to sponsor in the balance sheet of the financial statements included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”.
Underwriting Agreement
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the underwriters were paid in cash an underwriting discount of $4,000,000 simultaneously at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $9,800,000, payable to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. for deferred underwriting commissions to be deposited into a U.S. based Trust Account and released to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. for its own account only upon the completion of an initial Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting estimate.
Compensation Expense
On December 10, 2025, the Sponsor assigned and transferred an aggregate of 45,000 founder shares, represented by Sponsor membership interests, to the three independent directors (15,000 founder shares each) of the Company in exchange for their services as independent directors. The total fair value of the 15,000 founder shares represented by such membership interests assigned to the holders of such interests on December 10, 2025 was $218,250 or $4.85 per share. The Company established the initial fair value of the founder shares using a Monte Carlo model based on management’s assumptions and estimates.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 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 ASC 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in ASU 2023-07 and existing segment disclosures in ASC 280. ASU 2023-07 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. We adopted ASU 2023-07 on September 22, 2025, the date of the Initial Public Offering.
Management does not believe that there are any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, which, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”.
