Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report.
Overview
We
are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 18, 2024 formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination.
We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private
Placement, offerings of equity securities, debt or a combination of cash, equity securities and debt.
We expect to incur significant
costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure our shareholders that our plans to complete an initial Business Combination
will be successful.
We may seek to extend the
Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Charter.
Such an amendment would require the approval of our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion
of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account
and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require
SPACs (such as us) to complete our initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement. If we do not meet
the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to a suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in
any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from June 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 were organizational
activities and those necessary to prepare for and consummate the Initial Public Offering, described below, and following the consummation
of the Initial Public Offering, searing for a Business Combination target. 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 period from June 18,
2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we had a net income $1,042,224, which consists of interest earned on marketable securities
held in Trust Account of $1,217,835 and formation and operating costs of $175,611.

Factors That May
Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Our
results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could
cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our results of operations and
our ability to complete an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or
in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions,
declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts
in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude
or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of
the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was proceeds from an initial purchase of Class B Ordinary Shares by the
Sponsor and loans from the Sponsor pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note.
On June 20, 2024, we
entered into the IPO Promissory Note with the Sponsor, whereby the Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses
related to the Initial Public Offering. The IPO Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2025,
or the date on which we consummated the Initial Public Offering. On November 4, 2024, we repaid the total outstanding balance of the IPO
Promissory Note and as of December 31, 2024, there was $0 outstanding under the IPO Promissory Note. Borrowings under the IPO Promissory
Note are no longer available.
We consummated the Initial
Public Offering of 17,250,000 Public Units, which includes 2,250,000 Option Units purchased upon the full exercise by the of Over-Allotment
Option, at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering
and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 648,375 Private Placement Units
at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in the Private Placement to the Sponsor and BTIG, generating gross proceeds of $6,483,750.
Following the Initial Public
Offering, the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, and the Private Placement, a total of $173,362,500 was placed in the Trust Account.
We incurred $10,113,129 in offering expenses, consisting of $3,450,000 of cash underwriting fee, $6,037,500 of Deferred Discount to the
underwriters, and $625,629 of other offering costs. The proceeds held in the Trust Account are invested in money market funds meeting
certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury
obligations. The holding of these assets in this form is intended to be temporary and for the sole purpose of facilitating the intended
Business Combination. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company
Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time, (based on our Management Team’s
ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct the trustee to liquidate
the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand
deposit account at a bank.
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 taxes payable,
if any), 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.
As of December 31, 2024, we
had cash of $ $1,237,201. We use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform
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.
In order to fund working capital
deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers
and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans as may be required. If we complete an initial
Business Combination, we would repay such Working Capital Loans. 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 Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our
Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital 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 Units.
The terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such 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 an initial 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 initial Business Combination or because we become obligated
to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue
additional securities or incur debt in connection with such initial Business Combination.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term
debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as set forth below.
Administrative Support
Agreement
Commencing
on December 13, 2025, and until completion of our initial Business Combination or liquidation, we pay an affiliate of our Sponsor $10,000
per month for c ertain office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative
Support Agreement. Under the Administrative Support Agreement, there was $20,000 incurred and paid for the period from June 18,
2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 .
Underwriting Agreement
We granted the underwriter
of the Initial Public Offering a 45-day option to purchase up to 2,250,000 Option Units to cover any over-allotments at
the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On November 4, 2024, in connection with the closing
of the Initial Public Offering, the Over-Allotment Option was exercised in full and additional 2,250,000 Option Units were purchased
at $10.00 per Option Unit.
We paid an underwriting discount
of 2.0% of the per Public Unit offering price to the underwriters at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or $3,450,000 in
the aggregate. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to an additional fee of 3.5% of the gross offering proceeds payable only
upon our completion of the initial Business Combination, or $6,037,500 in the aggregate. The Deferred Discount will become payable
to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event we complete an initial Business Combination.
We also issued to BTIG, the
underwriter for the Initial Public Offering, 100,000 Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Initial Public Offering. We accounted
for the Representative Shares as an expense of the Initial Public Offering, resulting in a charge directly to shareholders’ deficit.
BTIG has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares without our prior consent until the completion of the initial Business
Combination. In addition, the Representative Shares are deemed to be underwriting compensation by FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110
and are, accordingly, subject to certain transfer restrictions or a period of 180 days beginning at the Initial Public Offering.
Furthermore, BTIG agreed (and any of its designees to whom the Representative Shares are issued will agree) (i) to waive its redemption
rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such Representative Shares in connection with the completion of the
initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such
shares if we fail to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
Critical Accounting
Estimates
The preparation of audited
financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires our 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. As of December 31, 2024, we did not have
any critical accounting estimates or policies to be disclosed.

Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB
issued ASU Topic 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“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 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. 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 are required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by FASB ASC
Topic 280, “Segment Reporting” (“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 280 and existing segment disclosures in ASC 280. ASU 2023-07
was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2024, with early adoption permitted.
Management does not believe
that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial
statements.
