Overview
We are a blank check
company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 25, 2024, formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination with one
or more businesses or entities. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public
Offering and Private Placement, 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 our shareholders that our plans to complete a 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 for such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account,
and our capitalization 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 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 for the year ended December 31, 2025, were organizational activities,
those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, as described below, and identifying a target company for our Business Combination.
We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating
income in the form of interest income on assets held in our Trust Account (defined below). 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 year ended December
31, 2025, we had net income of $683,099, which resulted from interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account of $1,361,271
offset by general and administrative expenses of $678,173.
For the period September 25, 2024 (inception) through December 31,
2024, we had a net loss of $8,218, which resulted from general and administrative expenses.

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 numerous 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 consummate
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 on our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Liquidity, Capital
Resources and Going Concern
The registration statement
for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 1, 2025. On July 3, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial
Public Offering of 6,000,000 units (the “Public Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units being
offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000. Each Unit consists of one ordinary
share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. On July 18, 2025, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option to purchase
an additional 900,000 units at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $9,000,000.
Simultaneously with the
closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 355,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”)
at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Origin Equity LLC (the “Sponsor”),
generating gross proceeds of $3,550,000. Each private unit will be identical to the public units sold in this offering, except as described
in this Annual Report. Upon full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment an additional 18,000 Private Placement Units were purchased
by the Company’s sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit generating gross proceeds of $180,000.
Transaction costs amounted
to $1,638,581, consisting of $690,000 of Underwriting commissions paid at closing (1% of gross proceeds from units offered to public),
$344,900 for value of the Representative Units (Note 6) issued and $603,681 of other offering costs.
For the year ended December
31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $694,715. Net income of $683,099 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities
held in the Trust Account of $1,361,271, and payment of operation costs $678,173. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $694,715
of cash for operating activities.
For the period September 25, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $0. The net loss of $8,218 was fully offset by $8,218 due to operating assets
and liabilities, primarily driven by payment of operating expenses through promissory note – related party.
For the year ended December
31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $69,600,000 and affected by cash deposited in Trust Account.
For the period September 25, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $0.
For the year ended December
31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $71,436,538, which was due to proceeds from the sale of Units (as defined below),
and Private Placement Warrants (as defined below).
For the period September 25, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $0.
As of December 31, 2025,
we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $70,825,901 consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days
or less. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any.
We intend to use substantially
all the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned in the Trust Account (less income taxes payable),
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’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,
we had cash of $1,151,773. 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 a Business Combination.
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 funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we will repay
such loaned amounts. If 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 will be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working
Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant
at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
In connection with the
Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Going Concern,” as of December
31, 2025, the Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds to meet the expenditures required for operating its business.
However, if the Company’s 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, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate
its business prior to its Business Combination. Moreover, the Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business
Combination or because the Company may become obligated to redeem a significant number of its Public Shares upon consummation of its Business
Combination, in which case the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.

Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
As of December 31,
2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
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 an affiliate of the
Sponsor $25,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of the management
team.
The underwriters had
a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 units to cover overallotments,
if any. On July 18, 2025, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 900,000 units at a purchase
price of $10.00 per unit, generating additional gross proceeds of $9,000,000.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial
statement 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 statement, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially
differ from those estimates. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable
Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis,
of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the 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.
The ASU 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 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 this ASU and existing
segment disclosures in ASC 280. The ASU 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 September 25, 2024, the date
of its incorporation. T he adoption of ASU 2023-07 had no material impact
on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial
statements.
