Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking

“intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify
such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s
current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the
Cayman Islands on September 11, 2024 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition,
share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”).
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 Units, 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 September 11, 2024 (inception) through March 31, 2025 were organizational
activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a Business
Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating
income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public
company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we
had net income of $2,227,401, which consisted of interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $2,433,722, offset
by operational costs of $206,321.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 11, 2024, we consummated the Initial
Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount
of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public
Offering, we consummated the sale of 840,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement
to the Sponsor and Roth Capital Partners, LLC, representative of the underwriters (“Roth”), generating gross proceeds of $8,400,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full
exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $232,300,000 was placed in the Trust Account.
We incurred transaction costs of $5,157,741, consisting of $4,600,000 of cash underwriting fee and $557,741 of other offering costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $193,398. Net income of $2,227,401 was offset by
interest earned on marketable securities of $2,433,722 and changes in operating assets and liabilities, which provided $12,923 of cash
from operating activities.
At March 31, 2025, we had investments held in
the Trust Account of $235,292,200. 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, to complete an initial Business Combination.
We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or
in part, as consideration to complete a 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.
At March 31, 2025, we had cash of $755,968 held
outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses,
perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective
target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses,
structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies
or finance transaction costs in connection with a 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 (“Working Capital Loans”). If we complete a
Business Combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. 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 Working Capital Loans for each such person
may be convertible into Units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per Unit. At March 31, 2025 and December
31, 2024, no amounts were outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.
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 initial 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 completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection
with such Business Combination.
Going Concern
In connection with our assessment of going concern
considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an
Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management believes that the funds which the Company has available following
the completion of the initial public offering will enable it to sustain operations for a period of at least one year from the issuance
date of these unaudited condensed financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities,
which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships
with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established
for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements,
established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease
obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an aggregate of $10,000 per month for
office space and administrative and support services. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred $30,000 for these services.
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we owed $37,000 and $7,000, respectively, for these services.
We have engaged Roth as an advisor in connection
with its Business Combination. We will pay Roth a cash fee (the “Business Combination Marketing Fee”) for such services upon
the consummation of its initial Business Combination in an amount up to 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, an
aggregate of up to $9,200,000 after the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full on December 11, 2024. As of March 31,
2025 and December 31, 2024, no Business Combination Marketing Fee has been incurred or recorded.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual
results could materially differ from those estimates. At March 31, 2025, we have not identified any critical accounting estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial
statements.
