Overview We are a blank check company incorporated on March 3, 2025 as a Cayman Island exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this Quarterly Report as our “initial business combination”. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing. On June 30, 2025, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,250,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 351,825 Private Placement Units, in a private placement to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $3,518,250. We incurred offering costs of $9,424,463, consisting of $1,155,750 of cash underwriting fee, $5,175,000 of deferred underwriting fee (or $3,105,000 if in connection with the proposed Business Combination), $2,294,250 for issuance of representative shares, and $799,463 of other offering costs. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement, $173,362,500 ($10.05 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units and the Private Placement Units were placed in a U.S.-based trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will be invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invests only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an initial business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. 21 Table of Contents Proposed Business Combination On August 25, 2025, the Company executed a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), with YA S3 Inc., a Florida corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“SPAC Sub”), Foris Holdings KY Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company known commercially as Crypto.com (“Crypto.com”), Crypto.com Strategy Holdings, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Crypto.com Sub”), Yorkville Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), and Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., a Florida corporation (“TMTG” and together with Crypto.com Sub and the Sponsor, the “Sellers”).

Pursuant to and concurrently with the Business Combination Closing, Crypto.com entered into the Pre-Closing Crypto.com Contribution Agreement 1 pursuant to which, immediately prior to, but contingent upon, the Business Combination Closing, Crypto.com will contribute (the “Pre-Closing Crypto.com Contribution”) 6,313,000,212 Cronos tokens and all necessary physical devices required to establish and operate a Cronos proof of stake validator node and staking infrastructure (the “Cronos Assets”) to Crypto.com Sub. Pursuant to and concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Crypto.com Sub entered into an Asset Contribution Agreement with the Company (the “Crypto.com Contribution and Sale Agreement” and, together with the Crypto.com Pre-Closing Contribution Agreement 1, the “Crypto.com Contribution Agreements”) pursuant to which, at the Business Combination Closing, (a) Crypto.com Sub will (1) at the Business Combination Closing, sell 90% of the Cronos Assets to SPAC Sub and (2) immediately following the Business Combination Closing, contribute 10% of the Cronos Assets to the Company in consideration of an aggregate 100,000,000 shares of SPAC Class B Common Stock, and a Forced Exercise Warrant, exercisable for 10,000,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock. In connection with the consummation of the Crypto.com Contribution and Sale Agreement, at the Business Combination Closing, Crypto.com will license to the Company, pursuant to a Trademark License Agreement, certain intellectual property and all operational knowhow and proprietary technology required to establish and operate a Cronos proof of stake validator node, and staking infrastructure.

Pursuant to and concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, TMTG entered into an asset contribution agreement with the Company (the “TMTG Contribution Agreement”) and, together with the Crypto.com Contribution Agreements and the TMTG License Agreement, the “Contribution Agreements”) pursuant to which, at the Business Combination Closing, TMTG will contribute 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Asset Company to the Company in consideration of 10,000,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock, the Earnout Warrants (as described below) and a Forced Exercise Warrant, exercisable for 10,000,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock.

(d) The Company will issue to the Sponsor a Forced Exercise Warrant exercisable (on or after the Business Combination Closing) for 2,000,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock. Results of Operations As of March 31, 2026, we had not commenced any operations. All activity from inception through March 31, 2026 relates to our formation and our Initial Public Offering, and, since the completion of the Initial Public Offering, our search for a target to consummate an initial business combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial business combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest and dividend income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and placed in the Trust Account. We expect to incur increased 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, 2026, we had net income of $943,355, which consisted of income on investments held in the Trust Account of $1,594,402 and interest income of $1,230, offset by general and administrative expenses of $652,277. For the period from March 3, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2025, we had net loss of $30,424, which consisted of formation, general and administrative expenses. Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern As of March 31, 2026, we had $60,261 in cash and cash equivalents held outside of the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $2,258,970 (excluding cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account and the deferred underwriter fee payable). Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was from the $25,000 of proceeds from our Sponsor’s purchase of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and a loan of $124,723 from our Sponsor pursuant to a promissory note to cover certain expenses. Following our Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Units to the Sponsor, a total of $173,362,500 was placed in the Trust Account. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $401,838. Net income of $943,355 was adjusted by income on investments in Trust Account of $1,594,402, and $249,209 changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $250,000 related to proceeds from Working Capital Note to Sponsor. As of March 31, 2026, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $177,932,677 consisting of securities held in a money market fund that invests in U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of 185 days or less. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting fees and income taxes payable), to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $60,261 held outside 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, and structure, negotiate and complete an initial business combination. 23 Table of Contents We may need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business prior to our initial business combination. We expect to incur significant costs related to identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year from the date that the financial statements accompanying this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are issued. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an 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 may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us. In the event that an 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 Working Capital Notes 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. As of March 31, 2026, there is $250,000 outstanding under the Working Capital Note. Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026. 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. Related Party Transactions Please refer to Financial Statement Note 6 - Related Party Transactions. Contractual Obligations We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities as of March 31, 2026. The underwriters of the Initial Public Offering are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $0.30 per Unit, or $5,175,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete an initial business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. On August 25, 2025, the underwriters agreed to reduce the deferred underwriting discount to $0.18 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering, or $3,105,000, in connection with the proposed Business Combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. If the Company consummates a Business Combination other than the proposed Business Combination, the deferred underwriting discount will remain $0.30 per Unit, or $5,175,000. 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, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies: Warrant Instruments The Company accounts for the public warrants and private placement warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and recorded the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values. The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using Black-Scholes Simulation Model. The Public Warrants have 24 Table of Contents been classified within shareholders’ deficit and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The key inputs used in the valuation of the Public Warrants are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ June 30, 2025 Implied Class A Ordinary Share price ​ $ 11.02 ​ Exercise price ​ $ 11.50 ​ Simulation term (years) ​ 7.00 ​ Risk-free rate ​ 3.98 % Selected volatility ​ 2.77 % Calculated value per warrant ​ $ 0.61 ​ Market adjustment ​ 29.26 % ​ Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires entities to disclose details about specific expenses, such as inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, included within commonly presented income statement expense captions. The disaggregated expense captions must be disclosed in a tabular format in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 on its financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”), which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Not required for smaller reporting companies.
