CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted
under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed
under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our current Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December
31, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as
of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
We
do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and
procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure
controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all
our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
As
required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that:
(1)
pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of our company,
(2)
provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in
accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management
and directors, and
(3)
provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our
consolidated financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting on December 31,
2025. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria,
management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, due to
the material weakness in our internal controls due to inadequate segregation of duties within account processes due to limited
personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record
keeping.
19
Management
intends to implement remediation steps to improve our internal controls due to inadequate segregation of duties within account processes
due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record keeping.
We plan to further improve this process by enhancing the size and composition of our board upon the closing of the business and to identify
third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the
requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals and implemented additional layers of reviews in the
financial close process.
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status
as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange
Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.

Number
and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
Our
board of directors has five members, three of whom are deemed “independent” under SEC and Nasdaq rules. We may not hold an
annual meeting of stockholders until after we consummate our initial business combination. Our officers are appointed by the board of
directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is
authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our bylaws provide that our directors may
consist of a chairman of the board, and that our officer may consist of chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer,
executive vice president(s), vice president(s), secretary, treasurer and such other officers as may be determined by the board of directors.
Director
Independence
Nasdaq
listing standards require that within one year of the listing of our securities on the Nasdaq Global Market we have at least a majority
of independent directors and that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined
generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship
which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment
in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board of Directors determined that Mr. McCabe, Mr. Zhang, and Ms. Qi Gong each
qualify as an “independent director” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules.
We
will only enter into a business combination if it is approved by a majority of our directors. Additionally, we will only enter into transactions
with our officers and directors and their respective affiliates that are on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from
independent parties. Any related-party transactions must be approved by our audit committee and a majority of disinterested directors.
22
Audit
Committee
We
have established an audit committee of the board of directors, which consists of Ms. Qi Gong, Mr. Daniel M. McCabe and
Mr. Ping Zhang, each of whom is an independent director. Ms. Qi Gong serves as chairperson of the audit committee. The audit
committee’s duties, which are specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:
●
reviewing
and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board
whether the audited financial statements should be included in our Form 10-K;
●
discussing
with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation
of our financial statements;
●
discussing
with management major risk assessment and risk management policies;
●
monitoring
the independence of the independent auditor;
●
verifying
the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible
for reviewing the audit as required by law;
●
reviewing
and approving all related-party transactions;
●
inquiring
and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
●
pre-approving
all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the
services to be performed;
●
appointing
or replacing the independent auditor;
●
determining
the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and
the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;
●
establishing
procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls
or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies; and
●
approving
reimbursement of expenses incurred by our management team in identifying potential target businesses.
Financial
Experts on Audit Committee
The
audit committee is composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined
under the Nasdaq listing standards. The Nasdaq listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and
understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement.
In
addition, we must certify to Nasdaq that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment
experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or
background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication. The board of directors has determined that at least one
member of the audit committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations
of the SEC.
23
Compensation
Committee
We
have established a compensation committee of the board of directors consisting of Mr. Daniel M. McCabe, Ms. Qi Gong, and Mr. Ping Zhang each of whom is an independent director. Mr. Daniel M. McCabe serves as chairman of the compensation committee.
We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:
●
reviewing
and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation,
evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance within the context of such goals and objectives, and determining and approving
the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;
●
reviewing
and approving the compensation of all of our other executive officers;
●
reviewing
our executive compensation policies and plans;
●
implementing
and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
●
assisting
management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
●
approving
all special perquisites, special cash payments, and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers
and employees;
●
producing
a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
●
reviewing,
evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
The
charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant,
legal counsel, or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such
adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the
compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by NASDAQ and the SEC.
Director
Nominations
We
do not have a standing nominating committee, though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required
to do so by law or NASDAQ rules.
The
board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are
seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at a future annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders).
Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the Board should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.
We
have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess.
In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the board of directors considers education, professional experience,
knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests
of our stockholders.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Any
executive compensation matters will be determined by our compensation committee. None of our directors who currently serve as members
of our compensation committee is, or has at any time in the past been, one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers
currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more
executive officers serving on our board of directors. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past year has served,
as a member of the board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our compensation committee.
24
Conflicts
of Interest
Investors
should be aware of the following potential conflicts of interest.
●
None
of our officers and directors is required to commit their full time to our affairs and, accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest
in allocating their time among various business activities.
●
In
the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities
which may be appropriate for presentation to our company as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our directors
and officers may continue to be involved in the formation of other special purpose acquisition companies in the future. Thus, our
officers and directors may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be
presented.
●
Our
officers and directors may in the future become affiliated with entities, including other blank check companies, engaged in business
activities similar to those intended to be conducted by our company.
●
Unless
we consummate our initial business combination, our officers, directors, and other insiders will not receive reimbursement for any
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in
the trust account.
●
The
founder shares beneficially owned by our officers and directors will be released from escrow only if our initial business combination
is successfully completed. Additionally, if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time frame,
our officers and directors will not be entitled to receive any amounts held in the trust account with respect to any of their founder
shares or private units. Furthermore, our Sponsor, Yocto Investments LLC, agreed that the private units will not be sold or transferred
by it until after we have completed our initial business combination. For the foregoing reasons, our board may have a conflict of
interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effect our initial business
combination.
In
general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business
opportunities to a corporation if:
●
the
corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;
●
the
opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and
●
it
would not be fair to the corporation and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.
Accordingly,
as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business
opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. Furthermore, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
provides that the doctrine of corporate opportunity will not apply with respect to any of our officers or directors in circumstances
where the application of the doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have. In addition,
certain of our officers and directors may have fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities pursuant to which such officer
or director may be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under
applicable law. Accordingly, if any of them becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that is suitable for an entity to which
he or she has pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she may honor such fiduciary or contractual obligations and present
such business combination opportunity to such entity prior to presenting it to us. We do not believe, however, that the pre-existing
fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers and directors will materially undermine our ability to complete our initial
business combination.

Our
insiders, including our officers and directors, have agreed to vote any shares of common stock held by them in favor of our initial business
combination, if permitted by law or regulation. In addition, they have agreed to waive their respective rights to receive any amounts
held in the trust account with respect to their founder shares and private units if we do not complete our initial business combination
within the required time frame. If they purchase shares of common stock in our IPO or in the open market, however, they would be entitled
to receive their pro rata share of the amounts held in the trust account if we are unable to complete our initial business combination
within the required time frame, but have agreed not to redeem such shares in connection with the consummation of our initial business
combination.
All
ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed
by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions will therefore comply with
section 144 of the DGCL.
Limitation
on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that our directors and officers will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware
law as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will
not be personally liable for monetary damages to us for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty
of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of
dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived an improper personal benefit from their actions as directors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as set forth in our certificate of incorporation, such indemnification will not extend to any claims our
insiders may make to us to cover any loss that they may sustain as a result of their agreement to pay debts and obligations to target
businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us as described
elsewhere in this annual report.
Our
bylaws also permits us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her
actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit indemnification. We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’
liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some
circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify the directors and officers.
These
provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions
also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action,
if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected
to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these provisions. We believe
that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors
and officers.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Code
of Ethics
We
adopted a code of conduct and ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees in accordance with applicable federal securities
laws. The code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business.
Section 16(a)
Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a)
of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of
our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our shares of Common Stock
and other equity securities. These executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation
to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such reporting persons.
Based
solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all filing
requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed in a timely manner.

EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION.
Employment
Agreements
We
have not entered into any employment agreements with our executive officers and have not made any agreements to provide benefits upon
termination of employment.
Executive
Officers and Director Compensation
No
executive officer has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. We currently pay our Sponsor an aggregate fee of $10,000
per month for providing us with office space and certain office and secretarial services. However, this arrangement is solely for our
benefit and is not intended to provide our Chief Executive Officer compensation in lieu of a salary.
Our
officers and directors will also receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with activities
on our behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses, performing business due diligence on suitable target businesses and business
combinations as well as traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses to examine their
operations. There is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us provided, however, that to the extent such expenses
exceed the available proceeds not deposited in the trust account, such expenses would not be reimbursed by us unless we consummate an
initial business combination. Our audit committee will review and approve all reimbursements made to our Sponsor, officers, directors
or their respective affiliates, with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval.
After
our initial business combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees
from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to stockholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation
materials furnished to our stockholders. However, the amount of such compensation may not be known at the time of the stockholder meeting
held to consider our initial business combination, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive
and director compensation. In this event, such compensation will be publicly disclosed at the time of its determination in a Current
Report on Form 8-K or a periodic report, as required by the SEC.

Unless
otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws where
applicable . The following table does not reflect record of beneficial rights included in the units or

of the Company’s initial business combination.
All
of the founder shares issued pursuant to our IPO are placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow
agent, until (1) with respect to 50% of the founder shares, the earlier of one year after the date of the consummation of our initial
business combination and the date on which the closing price of our shares of common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted
for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period
commencing after our initial business combination and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the founder shares, one year after the
date of our consummation of the initial business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the initial business combination,
we consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the shareholders having the
right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.
During
the escrow period, the holders of these shares will not be able to sell or transfer their securities except for transfers, assignments
or sales (i) among our initial stockholders or to our initial stockholders’ members, officers, directors, consultants or their
affiliates, (ii) to a holder’s stockholders or members upon its liquidation, (iii) by bona fide gift to a member of the holder’s
immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is the holder or a member of the holder’s immediate family, for estate
planning purposes, (iv) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (v) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order, (vi) to us for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination, or (vii) in
connection with the consummation of a business combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares were originally purchased,
in each case (except for clause (vi) or with our prior consent) where the transferee agrees to the terms of the escrow agreement and
to be bound by these transfer restrictions, but will retain all other rights as our stockholders, including, without limitation, the
right to vote their shares of common stock and the right to receive cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable
in shares of common stock, such dividends will also be placed in escrow. If we are unable to effect a business combination and liquidate,
there will be no liquidation distribution with respect to the founder shares.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Insider
Shares
On
May 17, 2023, the Company issued 1,725,000 shares of common stock (the “Insider Shares”) to the Sponsor for an aggregate
purchase price of $25,000. The 1,725,000 Insider Shares included an aggregate of up to 225,000 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor
to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Sponsor would collectively
own 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (assuming the Sponsor did not purchase
any Public Shares in the Initial Public Offering and excluding the Private Shares). As a result of the underwriters’ election to
fully exercise their over-allotment option on October 11, 2023, a total of 225,000 Insider Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
Promissory
Note – KM QUAD
On
November 5, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the “Promissory
Note”) to KM QUAD in connection with the proposed business combination between the Company and KM QUAD. The Promissory Note was
unsecured, interest-free and was due upon the earlier of certain specified events, including the consummation or termination of the proposed
transaction.
In
connection with the proposed KM QUAD Business Combination, KM QUAD funded certain extension-related payments of the Company.
On February 14, 2025, KM QUAD deposited $250,000 with the Company in exchange for a promissory note issued by the Company.
On April 20, 2025, KM QUAD deposited an additional $290,000 with the Company in exchange for a second promissory note issued
by the Company. These amounts related to extension fees in connection with the proposed KM QUAD Business Combination.
As
of December 31, 2025, the KM QUAD Business Combination had not been consummated. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, on January 15, 2026,
the parties entered into a Termination Agreement pursuant to which the KM QUAD Merger Agreement was terminated by mutual consent.
Administrative
Service Agreement
The
Company agreed, commencing on October 5, 2023, to pay the Sponsor, affiliates, or advisors a total of up to $10,000 per month for
office space, utilities, out of pocket expenses, and secretarial and administrative support. The arrangement will terminate upon the
earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
the Company incurred $120,000 in fees for these services each year.
Underwriting
Agreement
The
Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 900,000 additional Units
to cover over-allotments. On October 11, 2023, the underwriter’s elected to fully exercise the over-allotment option to purchase
an additional 900,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Public Share (see Note 6).
31
The
Company paid an underwriting fee of $0.20 per Unit, or $1,380,000, in total which includes the fee due upon the full exercise of the
underwriters’ over-allotment option.
The
underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per unit, or $2,415,000 due to the option to fully exercise their overallotment
on October 11, 2023, in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee
will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business
Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Shareholder
Support Agreement
Concurrently
with the execution of the KM QUAD Merger Agreement on February 14, 2025, the Company and certain shareholders of KM QUAD entered into
a shareholder support agreement, pursuant to which such shareholders agreed to vote in favor of the proposed business combination, subject
to the terms of such shareholder support agreement.
As
of December 31, 2025, the KM QUAD Business Combination had not been consummated. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, on January 15, 2026,
the parties entered into a Termination Agreement pursuant to which the KM QUAD Merger Agreement was terminated by mutual consent.
The
foregoing description of the shareholder support agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms
and conditions of the actual agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.8 hereto.
Representative
Shares
On
October 10, 2023, the Company issued to the underwriter and/or its designees 69,000 shares of common stock (the “Representative
Shares”). The Company accounted for the Representative Shares as an expense of the Initial Public Offering, resulting in a charge
directly to stockholder’s equity. The Company estimated the fair value of Representative Shares to be $690,000 based upon the offering
price of the shares of $10 per share. The Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a
lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement related to the Initial Public
Offering pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA’s NASD Conduct Rules. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities
will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition
of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statements related
to the Initial Public Offering, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately
following the effective date of the registration statements related to the Initial Public Offering except to any underwriter and selected
dealer participating in the Initial Public Offering and their bona fide officers or partners.
Director
Independence
Nasdaq
listing standards require that within one year of the listing of our securities on the Nasdaq Global Market we have at least a majority
of independent directors and that a majority of our board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined
generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship
which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment
in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board of Directors determined that Mr. McCabe, Mr. Zhang, and Ms. Qi Gong each
qualify as an “independent director” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules.
We
will only enter into a business combination if it is approved by a majority of our directors. Additionally, we will only enter into transactions
with our officers and directors and their respective affiliates that are on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from
independent parties. Any related-party transactions must be approved by our audit committee and a majority of disinterested directors.

PRINCIPAL
ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
MaloneBailey,
LLP, or “MB”, acts as our independent registered public accounting firm. The following is a summary of fees paid to MB for
services rendered.
Audit
Fees. Audit fees consist of fees for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements and services
that are normally provided by MB in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees of MB for professional services rendered for
the audit of our annual financial statements, review of the financial information included in our Forms 10-Q for the respective periods
and other required filings with the SEC totaled $118,450 and $56,650 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Audit-Related
Fees. Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of
the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest services
that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. We did not
pay MB for any audit-related fees for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Tax
Fees. We did not pay MB for tax return services, planning and tax advice for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
All
Other Fees. We did not pay MB for any other services for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Pre-Approval
Policy
Our
audit committee was formed upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering. As a result, the audit committee did not pre-approve
all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board
of directors. Since the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve
all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject
to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the audit committee prior to
the completion of the audit).

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Quetta
Acquisition Corporation
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Quetta Acquisition Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and
cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our
opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2025 and 2024, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern Matter
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing
and acquisition plans and the Company’s business plan is dependent on the completion of a business combination within a prescribed
period of time and if not completed will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation
and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations
Quetta
Acquisition Corporation (the “Company” or “Quetta” or “QETA”) is a blank check company incorporated
as a Delaware Corporation on May 1, 2023. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition,
share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”).
The Company intends to focus on target businesses in Asia.
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities from inception through December 31, 2025 are related
to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“IPO” as defined below) and subsequent to the IPO, identifying
a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business
Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived
from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. The Company’s sponsor is Yocto Investments LLC (the
“Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company.
The
registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on October 5, 2023. On October 11, 2023, the Company consummated
the IPO of 6,900,000 units (the “Public Units’), including the full exercise of the over-allotment option of 900,000 Units
granted to the underwriters. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $ 10.00 per unit generating gross proceeds of $ 69,000,000 .
Simultaneously with the IPO, the Company sold to its Sponsor 253,045 units at $ 10.00 per unit (the “Private Units”) in a
private placement generating total gross proceeds of $ 2,530,450 , which is described in Note 4.
Transaction
costs amounted to $ 4,202,729 , consisted of $ 690,000 cash underwriting fees (net of $ 690,000 expense reimbursement from the underwriters),
$ 2,415,000 deferred underwriting fees (payable only upon completion of a Business Combination) and $ 1,097,729 other offering costs.
Upon
the closing of the IPO and the private placement on October 11, 2023, a total of $ 69,690,000 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust
Account”) maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as a trustee and will be invested only in U.S. government
treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), and that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
These funds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of the initial Business Combination and the liquidation due to the
Company’s failure to complete a Business Combination within the applicable period of time. The proceeds deposited in the Trust
Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the
Company’s public stockholders. In addition, interest income earned on the funds in the Trust Account may be released to the Company
to pay its income or other tax obligations. With these exceptions, expenses incurred by the Company may be paid prior to a business combination
only from the net proceeds of the IPO and private placement not held in the Trust Account.
Pursuant
to Nasdaq listing rules, the Company’s initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses having an aggregate
fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the value of the funds in the Trust account (excluding any deferred underwriting discounts
and commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account), which the Company refers to as the 80% test, at the time
of the execution of a definitive agreement for its initial Business Combination, although the Company may structure a Business Combination
with one or more target businesses whose fair market value significantly exceeds 80% of the trust account balance. If the Company is
no longer listed on Nasdaq, it will not be required to satisfy the 80% test. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if
the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a
controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company
Act.
F- 7
The
Company will provide its holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem
all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting
called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder
approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Stockholders
will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated
to be $ 10.10 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to
the Company to pay its franchise and income tax obligations). The Public Shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption
value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Proposed Offering in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
The
Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $ 5,000,001 upon such consummation
of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business
Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or
other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Second Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business
or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not
pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether
they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination,
the Company’s Sponsor and any of the Company’s officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5)
(the “Initial Stockholders”) and the underwriters have agreed (a) to vote their Founder Shares, Private Shares (as defined
in Note 4), Shares issued as underwriting commissions (see Note 6) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of
approving a Business Combination and (b) not to convert any shares (including the Founder Shares) in connection with a stockholder vote
to approve, or sell the shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with, a proposed Business Combination.
If
the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules,
the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder
or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more
than an aggregate of 20% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The
Initial Stockholders have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, Private Shares, and Public
Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment
to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation
to redeem 100 % of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders
with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.
The
Company initially has nine months (or 15 months or up to 21 months if it extends such period) from the closing of the IPO to consummate
a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate its initial
Business Combination within nine months, it may extend the period of time to consummate a business combination two times by an additional
three months each time (for a total of 15 months to complete a business combination). In order to extend the time available for the Company
to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliate or designees must deposit into the Trust Account $ 690,000 ($ 0.10 per
Public Share) for each extension, or an aggregate of $ 1,380,000 , on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline.
F- 8
If
the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company 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
(which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less certain amount of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number
of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (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 the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors,
dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors
and the requirements of other applicable law.
The
Sponsor and the other Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares, and Private
Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or the other Initial
Stockholders acquires Public Shares in or after the IPO, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust
Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive
their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete
a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in
the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible
that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than $ 10.10 .
In
order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims
by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed
entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below $ 10.10 per Public Share, except as to
any claims by a third party who executed a valid and enforceable agreement with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim
of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity
of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not
be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims.
Quad
Global Inc. (“Quad Global”), is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is a Cayman Island exempted company formed on
February 5, 2025. It was formed to be the surviving company after the reincorporation merger in connection with a contemplated business
combination. It has no principal operations or revenue producing activities.
Quad
Group Inc., is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Quad Global and is a Cayman Island exempted company formed on January 28, 2025. It was
formed to be the Merger Sub in connection with a contemplated business combination. It has no principal operations or revenue producing
activities.
January
2025 Stockholder Meeting
On
January 10, 2025, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders (the “January Special Meeting”). During the January
Special Meeting, stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the
“A&R Certificate of Incorporation”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination
from January 10, 2025 to October 10, 2026 (36 months from the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering), on a month-by-month
basis, up to a total of 21 times, by depositing $ 60,000 into the Company’s trust account for each such one-month extension.
In
connection with the stockholders’ vote at the January Special Meeting, an aggregate of 5,199,297
shares with redemption value of approximately $ 55,152,224
(approximately $ 10.61
per share) were tendered for redemption.
Termination
of Merger Agreement with KM QUAD
On February 14, 2025, Quetta entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the “KM QUAD Merger Agreement”) with KM QUAD, Quad Global Inc., Quad Group Inc., certain shareholders
of KM QUAD and the shareholders’ representative. The KM QUAD Merger Agreement contemplated, among other things, the redomestication
of Quetta into Purchaser and the acquisition by Purchaser of 100 % of the issued and outstanding equity interests of KM QUAD. The aggregate
consideration payable to KM QUAD shareholders was $ 300 million, payable in newly issued Purchaser ordinary shares valued at $ 10.00 per
share. The KM QUAD Merger Agreement also contained customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties, including provisions
relating to the allocation of certain transaction costs, public company expenses and extension-related fees.
In connection to the Merger agreement the Company entered into unsecured promissory notes with KM QUAD, (see note
9).
F- 9
As
of December 31, 2025, the KM QUAD Business Combination had not been consummated. Subsequently, on January 15, 2026, the parties entered
into a Termination Agreement pursuant to which the KM QUAD Merger Agreement was terminated.
Merger
Agreement with Smart Kreate Group Limited
On
March 6, 2026, Quetta, SMART KREATE GROUP LIMITED, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands
(“PubCo”), SKG Merger Sub 1 Limited, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands
and a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 1”), SKG Merger Sub 2 Limited, a business company with limited liability
incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 2”), and Smart
Kreate Group Limited, a business company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“SKG”),
entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”).
Pursuant
to the BCA, the parties will consummate a business combination transaction (the “Business Combination”) through the following
transactions: (i) Quetta will merge with and into Merger Sub 1 (the “Initial Merger”), with Merger Sub 1 surviving the Initial
Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo; and (ii) immediately following the Initial Merger, Merger Sub 2 will merge with
and into SKG (the “Acquisition Merger”), with SKG surviving the Acquisition Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary
of PubCo.
Subject
to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the BCA, in connection with the Initial Merger, (i) every issued and outstanding
share of common stock of QETA will automatically be cancelled in exchange for one PubCo Class A ordinary share and (ii) each issued and
outstanding right of QETA will cease to exist and be assumed by PubCo and converted automatically into a right to purchase one PubCo
Class A ordinary share on substantially the same terms.
The
BCA may be terminated under customary and limited circumstances prior to the closing of the Business Combination.
F- 10
Shareholder
Support Agreement
On
or around the date of the BCA , certain shareholders of SKG entered into Shareholder Support Agreements with QETA, SKG and PubCo (the
“Shareholder Support Agreement”), pursuant to which each such shareholder of the Company has agreed to, among other things,
(i) vote all Company shares held by such shareholder in favor of the transactions contemplated by the BCA and the other transaction
documents, (ii) vote against any proposals that would or would be reasonably likely to in any material respect impede the transactions
contemplated by the BCA, (iii) not transfer any share of SKG until termination of the Shareholder Support Agreement, and (iv) within
certain periods of time from the closing of the Business Combination and subject to certain exceptions, not sell, transfer, tender,
grant, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift, tender or exchange offer, merger or operation of law), encumber, hedge
or utilize a derivative to transfer the economic interest in any of the shares of PubCo issued in connection with the Acquisition Merger
or upon settlement of equity awards issued by PubCo.
Sponsor
Support Agreement
Concurrently
with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, QETA, PubCo, SKG, the Sponsor and certain directors and officers of QETA listed
thereto entered into a Sponsor Support Agreement (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sponsor has
agreed to, among other things, (i) vote all QETA shares held by Sponsor in favor of the transactions contemplated by the BCA and
the other transaction documents and the related transaction proposals, (ii) vote against any proposals that would or would be reasonably
likely to in any material respect impede the transactions contemplated by the BCA or any related transaction proposal, (iii) not transfer
any share of QETA until termination of the Sponsor Support Agreement, (iv) waive or not otherwise perfect any anti-dilution or similar
protection with respect to any shares of QETA, and (v) not elect to have any share of QETA redeemed in connection with the Business Combination.
Each of the Sponsor and the directors of QETA has also agreed, within certain periods of time from the closing of the Business Combination
and subject to certain exceptions, not to sell, transfer, tender, grant, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift, tender
or exchange offer, merger or operation of law), encumber, hedge or utilize a derivative to transfer the economic interest in any of the
PubCo Class A ordinary shares and PubCo Rights (as applicable) acquired in connection with the Initial Merger and PubCo Class A ordinary
shares received upon the exercise of any PubCo Rights (as applicable). The Sponsor Support Agreement also provides for certain put and
call rights between PubCo and the Sponsor with respect to certain PubCo Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor following the closing of
the Business Combination, and provides for the allocation and sharing of certain deferred underwriting fees of QETA between SKG and the
Sponsor, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.
Going
Concern Consideration
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company had $ 1,195 in
cash and a working capital deficit of $ 2,630,904 .
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. There is no assurance that the
Company’s plans to raise capital will be successful. 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, within
one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. 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 additional
condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the
consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. The consolidated financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.
F- 11
Risks
and Uncertainties
Various
social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China, and
other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries),
may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide.
As
a result of these circumstances and the ongoing global conflicts, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination,
or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and
adversely affected. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise
equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased
market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action
and potential future sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Inflation
Reduction Act of 2022
On
August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for,
among other things, a new U.S. federal 1 % excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic
(i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the
repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1 %
of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax,
repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of
stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury
(the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or
avoidance of the excise tax. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.
Any
redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise,
may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business
Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions
and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii)
the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued
not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content
of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the
redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction
in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.
The
IR Act tax provisions did not have an impact on the Company’s fiscal 2025 and 2024 tax provision as there were redemptions by
the public stockholders in January 2025. As a result, the Company recorded an excise tax liability of $ 551,522
as of December 31, 2025. The Company has not filed its 2025 excise tax return and remitted excise tax payment for which the due date is April 30, 2026. The Company is
currently evaluating its options with respect to payment of this obligation. If the Company is unable to pay its obligation in full,
it will be subject to additional interest and penalties which are currently estimated at 8 %
interest per annum and a 5 %
underpayment penalty per month or portion of a month up to 25 %
of the total liability for any amount that is unpaid until paid in full.

accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and in conformity the U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they include all of the information and footnotes required by the U.S. GAAP. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been
included.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the
financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries
have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements
that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required
to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements
of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously
approved.
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial
accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared
effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised
financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and
comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The
Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it
has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or
revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s
consolidated financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth
company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in
accounting standards used.
Use
of Estimates
In
preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s management makes estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported expenses during the reporting period.
Making
estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. 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 consolidated 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 differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
The Company had $ 1,195 and $ 1,554,737 in cash as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company did not have any cash equivalents for both
fiscal years.
F- 13
Cash
and Investments Held in Trust Account
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $ 19,233,261
and $ 73,115,355 ,
respectively, in cash and investments held in the Trust Account comprised of money market funds that invest in U.S. government
securities.
Investments
in money market funds are presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Earnings
on investments held in the Trust Account are included in interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in the Trust Account is determined
using available market information.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes (“ASC 740”)”. ASC 740 requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets
and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally
requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not
be realized.
ASC
740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes
a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination
by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
period, disclosure and transition.
The
Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized
tax benefits and interest and penalties were recorded as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company is currently not aware of any
issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The
Company has identified the United States and the State of Delaware as its only “major” tax jurisdictions.
The
Company may be subject to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential
examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance
with federal and state tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will
materially change over the next twelve months.
Net
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net
income (loss) per common is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period, excluding shares of common stock subject to forfeiture by the Initial Stockholders. Remeasurement of carrying value
to redemption value of redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from income (loss) per share as the redemption value approximates
fair value. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially,
be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss)
per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the period presented.

Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution,
which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $ 250,000 . The Company has not experienced losses on this account
and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such an account.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,”
approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Common
Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The
Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are
measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights that is either within
the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control)
is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s
common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence
of uncertain future events. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, we have the option to either (i) accrete
changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument
will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value
immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting
period. The Company has elected to recognize the changes immediately. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 1,700,703 and 6,900,000
shares of common stock, respectively, were presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholder’s equity
section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
F- 15
Segment
Reporting
ASC
Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about
operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise
for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker,
or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The
Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CODM”), who reviews the
operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly,
management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment.
When
evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key
metrics, formation and operational costs and interest earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account which are included in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The
key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are interest earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account and
formation and operational costs. The CODM reviews interest earned on cash and investments held in Trust Account to measure and
monitor stockholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining
compliance with the trust agreement. Formation and operational costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast
cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination within the business combination period. The CODM also
reviews formation and operational costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with
all agreements and budget.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note
3 — Initial Public Offering
On
October 11, 2023, the Company sold 6,900,000 Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Unit (including the full exercise of the over-allotment option
of 900,000 Units granted to the underwriters), generating gross proceeds of $ 69,000,000 . Each Unit consists of one share of common stock
and one-tenth (1/10) of one right (“Public Right”). Each Public Right will convert into one share of common stock upon the
consummation of a Business Combination.
Note
4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO, The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 253,045 Private Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Unit for an
aggregate purchase price of $ 2,530,450 in a private placement. The Private Units are identical to the Public Units except with respect
to certain registration rights and transfer restrictions. Each Private Unit consists of one share of common stock (“Private Share”)
and one-tenth (1/10) of one right (“Private Right”). Each Private Right will convert into one share of common stock upon
the consummation of a Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the
proceeds from the sale of the Private Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of
applicable law), and the Private Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless.

Founder
Shares
On
May 17, 2023, the Company issued 1,725,000 shares of common stock to the Initial Stockholders (the “Founder Shares”) for
an aggregated consideration of $ 25,000 , or approximately $ 0.0145 per share. The Initial Stockholders have agreed to forfeit up to 225,000
Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full so that the Initial Stockholders collectively own
20 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO (assuming the Initial Stockholders do not purchase any Public
Shares in the IPO and excluding the Private Units). As a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of the over-allotment option
on October 11, 2023, no Founder Share were forfeited. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 1,725,000 Founder Shares were issued and outstanding.
The
Initial Stockholders have agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares
until, with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares, the earlier of six months after the consummation of a Business Combination and the
date on which the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends,
reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after a Business Combination
and, with respect to the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares , until the six months after the consummation of a Business Combination,
or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to a Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or
other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common
stock for cash, securities or other property.

In
addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Initial Stockholders
or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If the Company completes an initial Business Combination,
it will repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of
the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used
for such repayment. Certain amount of such loans may be converted into private at $ 10.00 per share at the option of the lender. As of
December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no borrowings under the working capital loans.
Administrative
Service Agreement

loans made to the Company (and any shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the underlying the private rights), will be entitled
to registration rights pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of a majority
of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that we register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founder
Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these shares of
common stock are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the private units and units issued in payment of working capital
loans made to us can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing on the date that the Company consummate an initial
business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration
statements filed subsequent to the consummation of an initial business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection
with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting
Agreement
The
Company granted EF Hutton, the representative of the underwriters, a 45 -day option from October 5, 2023 to purchase up to 900,000 additional

representative compensation.
Note
7 — Stockholders’ Deficit
Common
Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders
of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. As a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of the over-allotment option
on October 11, 2023, there are no Founder Share subject to forfeiture. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 2,047,045 shares
of common stock issued and outstanding (excluding 1,700,703 and 6,900,000 shares subject to possible redemption as of December 31, 2025
and 2024, respectively).
Rights
— Each holder of a right will receive one share of common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the
holder of such right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon
conversion of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive its additional
shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price
paid for by investors in the IPO. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will
not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per share consideration
the holders of the common stock will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into common stock basis and each holder of a right
will be required to affirmatively covert its rights in order to receive one share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration).
The shares issuable upon conversion of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).
If
the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the
Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution
from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless.
Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business
Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, holders of the rights
might not receive the shares of common stock underlying the rights.

8 — Fair Value Measurements
The
fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would
have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company
seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable
inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is
used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and
liabilities:
Level
1:
Quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions
for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level
2:
Observable
inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities
and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level
3:
Unobservable
inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The
following tables present information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December
31, 2025 and 2024 indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers available to offset
future taxable income.
In
assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of
future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies
in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty
exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. The change
in the valuation allowance was $ 126,467 and $ 154,800 for the year ended 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The
provision for U.S. federal income tax was $ 167,047
and $ 754,259
for the years ended 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company’s tax return for the years ended 2025, 2024 and 2023 remain open
and subject to examination.
