Simultaneously with the closing

of the Initial Public Offering, we completed the sale of an aggregate of 760,000 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 $7,600,000.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement, an amount of $231,150,000 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 accounts at a

chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets of $100 billion or more selected by the Trustee that is reasonably satisfactory

to us, until the earlier of:

(x) the completion of the Business Combination and (y) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described

have until September 9, 2026 (24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering), or until such (x) earlier date as our board

of directors may approve or (y) later date as our shareholders may approve, pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles

of association , 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

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 of directors,

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.

and restated memorandum and articles of association.

shareholders 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 The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”).

In addition, the continued listing rules of Nasdaq currently require special

purpose acquisition companies (such as us) to complete their initial business combination within 36 months following of the effectiveness

of its registration statement for the initial public offering (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 us to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our management team.

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

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 intend to repay such Working Capital Loans.

In the event that the 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 will be used for such repayment.

Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement units

at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender.

Such units and their underlying securities would be identical to the Private

Placement Units, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period of the underlying warrants.

Prior to the completion

of our initial Business Combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor

as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to

funds in our Trust Account.

the principal balances of the WCL Promissory Notes have not been paid in full, then, at the WCL Payees’ option and subject to certain

conditions, up to the total principal amounts of the WCL Promissory Notes may be converted into WCL Conversion Units, each consisting

of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one warrant, at a conversion price of $10.00 per WCL Conversion Unit, on the date of the

Business Combination.

The proceeds of the WCL Promissory Notes, which may be drawn from time to time prior to the WCL Maturity Date, will be used by us for working capital purposes.

The WCL Promissory Notes bear no interest and are due and payable upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Business Combination and (ii) the date of our liquidation.

In the event that we do not consummate a Business Combination, the WCL Promissory Notes will be repaid only from amounts remaining outside of the Trust Account, if any.

If, prior to the Business Combination, the principal balances of the WCL Promissory Notes have not been paid in full, then, at the WCL Payees’ option and subject to certain conditions, up to an aggregate of $1,500,000 of the total principal amounts of the WCL Promissory Notes may be converted into WCL Conversion Units, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one warrant, at a conversion price of $10.00 per WCL Conversion Unit, on the date of the Business Combination.

The WCL Conversion Units and their underlying securities shall be identical to the Private Placement Units and their underlying securities.

WCL Conversion Units and their underlying securities are entitled to the registration rights set forth in that certain registration rights agreement.

A failure to pay the principal outstanding amount of the WCL Promissory Notes within one business day of the WCL Maturity Date shall be deemed an event of default, in which case the WCL Payees may declare the WCL Promissory Notes due and payable immediately.

The issuance of the Original Notes and WCL Promissory Notes was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

As of June 30, 2026, we had borrowed $1,240,000 from the WCL Promissory Notes which consisted of $652,800 from William J.

Sandbrook, $248,000 from Michael Andretti and $339,200 from William M.

Brown against the WCL Promissory Notes and had $440,000

available for withdrawal.

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 Quarterly

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.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Standards

The preparation of the unaudited

condensed financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly 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 Quarterly Report could be materially affected.

As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any critical accounting

estimates to be disclosed.
