Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements
All
statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item
regarding our financial position, possible Business Combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, and the plans and objectives
of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section
21E of the Exchange Act. When used in this Report, words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,”
“anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions,
as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our Management’s
current expectations and projections about future events, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to our Management.
Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed
in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf
are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
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 included elsewhere in this Report.
Overview
We are a blank check company
incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 18, 2024 for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. Our Sponsor is Newbury Street
II Acquisition Sponsor LLC.
We are not limited in our
search for target businesses to a particular industry or sector for the purpose of consummating the Business Combination. We are an emerging
growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. We expect to
continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. There can be no assurance that our plans to complete a Business
Combination will be successful.
Our IPO Registration Statement
became effective on October 31, 2024. On November 4, 2024, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 17,250,000 Public Units, including
2,250,000 Option Units issued pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. Each Public Unit consists of one Public Share
and one-half of one Public Warrant. The Public Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of
$172,500,000.
30
Simultaneously
with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreements, we completed the sale
of an aggregate of 648,375 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and BTIG in the Private Placement at a purchase price of $10.00 per
Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds to us of $6,483,750. Of those 648,375 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased
484,500 Private Placement Units and BTIG purchased 163,875 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units (and underlying securities)
are identical to the Public Units (and underlying securities), except as otherwise disclosed in the IPO Registration Statement.
Following
the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, an amount of $173,362,500 from the net proceeds of the Initial Public
Offering and the Private Placement was initially placed in the Trust Account located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee.
Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trust Account may be invested only (i) in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth
in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act with a maturity of 185 days or less, (ii) in any open-ended investment company that
holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of paragraphs d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7
of the Investment Company Act, (iii) as uninvested cash or (iv) in interest or non-interest bearing demand deposit account, until the
earlier of: (x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
We
have until November 4, 2026 (24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering), or until such (x) earlier date as our Board may
approve or (y) later date as our shareholders may approve, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Articles, to consummate the Business Combination.
If we are unable to complete the Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for
the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public
Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned
on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then outstanding
Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive
further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption,
subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject, in each case, to our obligations
under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
We
may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended
and Restated Articles. Any such 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 their 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 suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq.
Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, consider selling its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a
change to our Management Team.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in
any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since June 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 have
been (i) organizational activities and (ii) activities related to (x) the Initial Public Offering and (y) identifying and evaluating prospective
acquisition candidates and activities in connection with the initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues
until after completion of our initial Business Combination. We have generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on investments
held in the Trust Account after the Initial Public Offering. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company
(for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the year ended December
31, 2025, we had a net income of $6,620,992, which consists of interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $7,267,039,
interest on the operating account of $42,405 and general and administrative costs of $688,452.
31
For the period from June 18,
2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we had a net income of $1,042,224, which consists of interest earned on marketable securities
held in the Trust Account of $1,217,835 and formation and operating costs of $175,611.
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 $173,362,500 was placed in the
Trust Account. We incurred fees of $10,113,129, consisting of $3,450,000 of cash underwriting fee, the Deferred Fee of $6,037,500 and
$625,629 of other offering costs.
As of December 31, 2025 and
2024, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $181,847,374 and $174,580,335, respectively (including approximately $8,484,874
and $2,080,335, respectively, of interest income). 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 exclude the Deferred 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.
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.
As of December 31, 2025 and
2024, we had cash held outside of the Trust Account of approximately $772,506 and $1,237,201, respectively and a working capital of $748,963
and $1,308,343, respectively. We 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.
Our liquidity needs through
December 31, 2025 have been satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our Founder
Shares, (ii) a loan pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note, and (iii) the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering
and the Private Placement held outside the Trust Account.
IPO Promissory Note
Prior to the closing of our
Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 under the IPO Promissory Note to cover expenses
related to the Initial Public Offering. Such loans and advances were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of June 30, 2025
or the completion of our Initial Public Offering. The loan of $213,706 was fully repaid upon the consummation of our Initial Public
Offering on November 4, 2024. No additional borrowing is available under the IPO Promissory Note.
On November 4, 2024, we repaid
$25,000 to the Sponsor in excess of the IPO Promissory Note. On September 26, 2025, we paid tax and accounting expenses on behalf of the
Sponsor of $7,590. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, $32,590 and $25,000, respectively, were due to be repaid to us by the Sponsor.
32
Working Capital Loans
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 Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination,
we will repay such Working Capital Loans. 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 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 converted into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price
of $10.00 per unit. The units (and underlying securities) would be identical to the Private Placement Units (and underlying securities).
Other than as set forth above, 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. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not have any borrowings under any Working Capital
Loans.
Going Concern
In connection with our assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”,
Management has determined that we currently lack the liquidity we need to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is
considered to be at least one year from the date that the financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report
are issued, as we expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. In addition, Management has determined
that if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, then we will cease all operations except
for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management
plans to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to the end of the Combination Period. No adjustments have been made to the carrying
amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after November 4, 2026. There can be no assurance that our plans to
raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.
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 November 1,
2024, and until completion of our initial Business Combination or liquidation, we pay an affiliate of our Sponsor $10,000 per month for
certain office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Support Agreement. As of December
31, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $120,000 and $20,000, respectively, in fees for these services. These amounts are paid and included in
the general and administrative costs on the statements of operations of the financial statements included elsewhere this Report.
Underwriting Agreement
We granted BTIG 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 Underwriter exercised its Over-Allotment
Option in full and purchased the 2,250,000 Option Units at $10.00 per Option Unit.
We paid an underwriting discount
of 2.0% of the per Public Unit offering price to BTIG at the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or $3,450,000 in the aggregate. In
addition, BTIG is 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, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. The Deferred Fee will become
payable to BTIG from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event we complete an initial Business Combination.
33
Representative Shares
We also issued 100,000 Class
A Ordinary Shares to BTIG 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.
Registration Rights
Agreement
The
holders of (i) the Founder Shares, (ii) the Representative Shares (iii) the Private Placement Units and (iv) any private placement-equivalent
units issued in connection with the Working Capital Loans, if any (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable)
are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, requiring us to register such securities for resale
(in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A Ordinary Shares). The holders of the majority of these securities
are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have
certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a
Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. BTIG
may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement.
We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Letter Agreement
Our
Sponsor, directors and officers have entered into the Letter Agreement with us, pursuant to which, they have waived their rights to liquidating
distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination
within the Combination Period. However, if they acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to
liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial Business Combination
within the Combination Period.
Additionally,
pursuant to the Letter Agreement, our Sponsor, directors and officers will not propose any amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles
to modify (i) the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial Business Combination or to
redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) any other
material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless we provide our Public
Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash,
equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and
not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.
Critical Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of the audited financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report in conformity with GAAP requires
Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in our financial statements. These accounting estimates require the use of
assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. Management bases its estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which
form the basis for making judgments, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the extent actual experience differs
from the assumptions used, our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report could be materially
affected. We believe that the following accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. As
of December 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
34
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 a company’s chief operating 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 will be 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 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. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on July 8, 2024, the date of our incorporation.
Management does not believe
that 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 elsewhere in this Report.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting
company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.
