Item 4. 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 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 In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report as of March 31, 2026, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as we experienced difficulty in ensuring that the accounting for our accounts payable and accrued expenses is accurate and complete, including proper classification of the related expenses to deferred offering costs or operating expenses which we experienced and reported as a material weakness. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our unaudited condensed financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this quarterly report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 19 PART II – OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings We are not currently a party to any material litigation or other legal proceedings brought against us. We are also not aware of any legal proceeding, investigation or claim, or other legal exposure that has a more than remote possibility of having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
