Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as
a British Virgin Islands business company on April 16, 2021 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition,
share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. Our efforts
to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region. As such, although we are
not targeting target companies in China, we may consider a business combination with an entity or business with a physical presence or
other significant ties to China, including Hong Kong and Macau, which may subject the post-business combination business to the
laws, regulations and policies of China. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, our securities,
debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt, in effecting a business combination.
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.
Recent Development
Business Combination Agreement
On August 3, 2026, the Company entered into the
Business Combination Agreement with Merger Sub and Startech. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at least one business day
prior to the closing of the business combination, the Company will continue out of the British Virgin Islands and become a Delaware corporation
by way of continuation. Following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Startech, with Startech surviving the merger
as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Domesticated Company. In connection with the business combination, the Domesticated Company will
be renamed “Startech Inc.”
17
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement,
Startech equityholders will receive an aggregate number of shares of common stock of the Domesticated Company equal to the quotient obtained
by dividing $1.0 billion by $10.00, in exchange for all outstanding equity interests of Startech on a fully diluted basis.
The completion of the proposed business combination
is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by our shareholders and Startech’s stockholders, effectiveness of
the registration statement to be filed with the SEC, conditional approval for listing of the common shares of the Domesticated Company
on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange, and other customary closing conditions.
Certain Related Agreements
In connection with the execution of the Business
Combination Agreement, we entered into certain ancillary agreements, including a Parent Support Agreement with our Sponsor and Startech,
and a Company Support Agreement with Startech and certain stockholders of Startech. Pursuant to these agreements, the applicable parties
agreed to take certain actions in support of the proposed Business Combination, including voting commitments with respect to the transaction
and restrictions on alternative transactions.
The Business Combination Agreement also contemplates
that, upon the closing of the proposed Business Combination, we will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement
and certain lock-up agreements with applicable shareholders of the combined company. These agreements will govern registration rights
and transfer restrictions relating to shares of the combined company following the closing of the proposed Business Combination.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor
generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities since inception were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare
for the initial public offering, described below and, after our 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 initial business combination. We expect
to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the initial public offering. We expect
that we will 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 in connection with searching for, and completing, a business combination.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026,
we had a net loss of $88,605 and net income of $385,352, respectively, which primarily consisted of income earned on marketable securities
held in Trust Account, and general and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On February 2, 2026, the Company consummated
its Initial Public Offering of 5,750,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57,500,000, including the full exercise
by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 750,000 units. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public
Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 186,250 units at a price of $10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $1,862,500
in a private placement.
18
A total of $57,500,000 of the net proceeds from
the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s
public stockholders, with Equinity Trust Company, LLC acting as trustee.
We intend to use substantially all of the net
proceeds of this offering and the sale of the private units, including the funds held in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting
discounts) to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our shares used in
whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account as well
as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses.
Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations,
for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to
repay any operating expenses which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available
to us outside of the trust account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
As of June 30, 2026, we had a working capital
deficit of $690,733. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $400,217. The Company’s
liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the IPO had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the founder
shares and an aggregate of up to $6,500,000 in loans available from the sponsor under an unsecured promissory note executed on May 1,
2021 and an unsecured promissory note executed on May 1, 2025, and due at the closing of this offering. On November 15, 2025, the Sponsor
provided additional loans up to an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 under the new sponsor loan agreement. The funds were used to pay for
our expenses of the Initial Public Offering and Business Combination with interest-free. As of June 30, 2026, we have borrowed $2,208,521
under the promissory note with the sponsor. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company expects that it
will need additional capital to satisfy its liquidity needs beyond the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering
and the proceeds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective business
combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target
business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination. Although certain of
the Company’s initial shareholders, officers and directors or their affiliates have committed to loan the Company funds from time
to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, there is no guarantee that the Company will
receive such funds.
The Company will use 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
addition, we could use a portion of the funds not being placed in trust to pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to
assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed
to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable
to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention
to do so. If we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that
would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific business
combination and the amount of our available funds at the time. Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise)
could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target
businesses.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue
to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit
of the consummation of a Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties
about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business
Combination within the Combination Period, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence voluntary liquidation and
thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination
will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such an additional condition also raises
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statement does not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K as of June 30, 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.
Commitments and Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease
obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than agreements with affiliates of Sponsor to pay an aggregate
of $10,677 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support.
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting
discount of half and one percent (1.5%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, amounting to $862,500.
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. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant
judgement. 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 materially differ from those estimates. We have identified
the following as our critical accounting policies:
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares
subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable
ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject
to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity.
At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain
redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future
events. Accordingly, 5,750,000 shares of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are 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 over the period from the date Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial carrying
amount to redemption book value. The change in the carrying value of ordinary shares subject to possible redemptions resulted in charges
against additional paid-in capital.
Net Income Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure
requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of ordinary share outstanding for the period. Remeasurement adjustments 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 June 30, 2026, the rights are exercisable
to purchase 742,031 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.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any other recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
