ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized,
and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with
the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025,
as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer
and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
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
Control Over Financial Reporting
This annual report does not
include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our
independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
Other than the matters set
forth above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the
Exchange Act) that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this annual report that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

capital markets experience. Our directors have experience with acquisitions, divestitures and corporate strategy and implementation, which
we believe will significantly benefit us as we evaluate potential acquisition or merger candidates as well as following the completion
of our initial business combination.
30
We believe our management team
is well positioned to take advantage of the growing set of acquisition opportunities focused on the companies exhibiting substantial potential
in emerging markets driven by innovative technologies or novel business models and that our contacts and relationships, ranging from owners
and management teams of private and public companies, private equity funds, investment bankers, attorneys, to accountants and business
brokers will allow us to generate an attractive transaction for our shareholders.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board has four standing
committees: an executive committee, an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee.
NASDAQ rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent
directors, and subject to certain limited exceptions, NASDAQ rules require that the compensation committee and nominating committee of
a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Our audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate
governance committee are each governed by a written charter, which charters are incorporated by reference as s Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, and
99.3 to this annual report. In addition, a copy of any or all of these charters will be provided by us without charge upon request.
Audit Committee
We have established an audit
committee of the board of directors. Kun-Lin Liu, Yucan Zhang and Chengming Dou serve as members of our audit committee. Chengming
Dou chairs the audit committee. Under the NASDAQ listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have three members of
the audit committee all of whom must be independent. Kun-Lin Liu, Yucan Zhang and Chengming Dou are independent.
Each member of the audit committee
is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that Chengming Dou qualifies as an “audit committee financial
expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.
Responsibilities of the audit
committee include:
the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;
pre-approving all audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;
reviewing and discussing with the independent registered public accounting firm all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;
setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent registered public accounting firm;
setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent registered public accounting firm describing the independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures and (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within, the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;
reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and
reviewing with management, the independent registered public accounting firm, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
31
Nominating Committee
We have established a nominating
committee of the board of directors, which consists of Kun-Lin Liu, Yucan Zhang and Chengming Dou, each of whom is an independent director
under NASDAQ’s listing standards. Kun-Lin Liu chairs the nominating committee. The nominating committee is responsible for overseeing
the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The nominating committee considers persons identified by
its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers and others.
Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees
The guidelines for selecting
nominees, which are specified in the Nominating Committee Charter, generally provide that persons to be nominated:
should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service;
should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations;
and should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the shareholders.
The Nominating Committee will
consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background, integrity and professionalism in evaluating
a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes,
such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall
experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating committee does not distinguish
among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.
Compensation Committee
We have established a compensation
committee of the board of directors. The members of our Compensation Committee are Kun-Lin Liu, Yucan Zhang and Chengming Dou. Yucan
Zhang chairs 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 in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation in executive session at which the Chief Executive Officer is not present;
reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other 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 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.
32
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of conduct
and ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. A copy of our Code
of Ethics is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 14 to this annual report. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided
by us without charge upon request. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a
Current Report on Form 8-K.
Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by directors, officers and employees, which are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and the applicable Nasdaq Rules (the “Insider Trading Policy”).
The foregoing description of
the Insider Trading Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Insider
Trading Policy, a copy of which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 19 to this annual report.
Conflicts of Interest
Potential investors should
be aware of the following potential conflicts of interest:
None of our officers or directors
is required to commit his or her full time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating his or her 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 us as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management may have conflicts of interest in determining
to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
Our initial shareholders purchased
founder shares prior to the date of the Prospectus and the sponsor will purchase the private units in transactions that will close simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO. Our initial shareholders have agreed to waive their right to liquidating distributions with respect to its
founder shares if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within the required time period. However, if our initial shareholders
acquire public shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to receive liquidating distributions with respect to such public shares
if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within the required time period. If we do not complete our initial business
combination within such applicable time period, the proceeds of the sale of the private units will be used to fund the redemption of our
public shares, and the private units will expire worthless.
Our officers and directors
may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such
officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.
Under Cayman Islands law, directors
and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:
(i)
duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;
(ii)
duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;
(iii)
directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;
(iv)
duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and
(v)
duty to exercise independent judgment.
33
In addition to the above, directors
also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent
person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions
as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience which that director has.
As set out above, directors
have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit
as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized
in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted
in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.
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. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise when our board evaluates a particular
business opportunity with respect to the above-listed criteria. We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned conflicts will
be resolved in our favor. Furthermore, each of our officers and directors currently has and may in the future have fiduciary obligations
to other businesses, including other blank check companies similar to our company, of which they are now or may in the future be officers
or directors. To the extent they identify business opportunities which may be suitable for the entities to which they owe fiduciary obligations,
our officers and directors will honor those fiduciary obligations. Accordingly, it is possible they may not present opportunities to us
that otherwise may be attractive to us unless the entities to which they owe fiduciary obligations and any successors to such entities
have declined to accept such opportunities.
In order to minimize potential
conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, each of our officers and directors has contractually agreed,
pursuant to a written agreement with us, until the earliest of a business combination, our liquidation or such time as he ceases to be
an officer or director, to present to our company for our consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any suitable business
opportunity which may reasonably be required to be presented to us, subject to any fiduciary or contractual obligations he might have.
Below is a table summarizing
the entities to which our officers, directors and directors currently have fiduciary duties or contractual obligations which will
take priority over us.

To further minimize conflicts
of interest, we have agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of our initial
shareholders, officers or directors unless we have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent
entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, and the approval of a majority of our disinterested independent directors that the business
combination is fair to our company (or shareholders) from a financial point of view. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association provides that, subject to fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law, we renounce our interest in
any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his
or her capacity as a director or officer of our company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake
and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue.
Our officers and directors,
as well as our initial shareholders, have agreed (i) to vote any shares owned by them in favor of any proposed business combination
and (ii) not to redeem any shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination or any
amendment to our charter documents prior to the consummation of our initial business combination or sell any shares to us in a tender
offer in connection with a proposed initial business combination.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification
of Officers and Directors
Cayman Islands law does not
limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors,
except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification
against willful default, fraud or the consequences of committing a crime or against the indemnified person’s own fraud or dishonesty.
Our amended and restated memorandum
and articles of association provides that, subject to certain limitations, the company shall indemnify its directors and officers against
all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection
with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings. Such indemnity only applies if the person acted honestly and in good faith with
a view to the best interests of the company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that
their conduct was unlawful. The decision of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to
the best interests of the company and as to whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful and is,
in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, unless a question
of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi
does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests
of the company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
We have entered into agreements
with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended
and restated memorandum and articles of association. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association also will permit
us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any officer or director who at the request of the company is or was serving as a director
or officer of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or not the company has or would
have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability as provided in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
We have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against
the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our
officers and directors.
35
These provisions may discourage
shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty or duty of care. These provisions also may
have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful,
might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent
we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
We believe that these provisions,
the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is theretofore unenforceable.
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.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Executive Compensation
No compensation will be paid
to our initial shareholders, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to or in connection with the consummation
of our initial business combination. Additionally, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection
with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations.
Our independent directors will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our initial shareholders, officers, directors
or our or their affiliates.
After the completion of 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 shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials
or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination. It is unlikely the amount
of such compensation will be known at the time, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive
and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers will be determined, or recommenced, to the board of directors for
determination, either by a committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our
board of directors.
We do not intend to take
any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business
combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements
to remain with us after the initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to
retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do
not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a
determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers
and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.
36
Clawback Policy
As required by the NASDAQ
rules, our Board has adopted a clawback policy (the “Clawback Policy”) permitting the Company to seek the recovery of incentive
compensation received by any the Company’s current and former executive officers (as determined by the Compensation Committee of
the Company’s Board in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market) and such other
senior executives/employees who may from time to time be deemed subject to the Clawback Policy by the Compensation Committee (collectively,
the “Covered Executives”) during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required
to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial
reporting requirement under the securities laws. The amount to be recovered will be the excess of the incentive compensation paid to the
Covered Executive based on the erroneous data over the incentive compensation that would have been paid to the Covered Executive had it
been based on the restated results, as determined by the Compensation Committee. If the Compensation Committee cannot determine the amount
of excess incentive compensation received by the Covered Executive directly from the information in the accounting restatement, then it
will make its determination based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the accounting restatement. Because we do not anticipate paying
any cash compensation to our prospective Covered Executives, we do not anticipate paying any incentive compensation which could become
subject to clawback under the Clawback Policy. A copy of our Clawback Policy is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 97.1 to this annual
report.

Our initial shareholders
beneficially own approximately 28.43% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Because of this ownership block, our initial shareholders
may be able to effectively influence the outcome of all matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the appointment of directors,
amendments to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and approval of significant corporate transactions.
38
Subject to certain limited
exceptions, our initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell their founder shares until six months after the date
of the consummation of our initial business combination or earlier if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a
subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our shareholders having the right
to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing if the last reported sale price
of our ordinary shares equal or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganization, recapitalizations
and other similar transactions) for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial
business combination the founder shares will not be subject to such transfer restrictions.
During the lock-up period,
the holders of these shares will not be able to sell or transfer their securities except (1) to our officers, directors, shareholders,
employees and members of the sponsor and their affiliates, (2) if a holder is an entity, as a distribution to its, partners, shareholders
or members upon its liquidation, (3) by bona fide gift to a member of the holder’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary
of which is a holder or a member of a holder’s immediate family, for estate planning purposes, (4) by virtue of the laws of descent
and distribution upon death, (5) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (6) by certain pledges to secure obligations incurred
in connection with purchases of our securities, (7) by private sales at prices no greater than the price at which the shares were originally
purchased or (8) to us for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination, in each
case (except for clause 8 or with our prior consent) where the transferee agrees to the terms of the insider letter. If we are unable
to effect a business combination and liquidate, there will be no liquidation distribution with respect to the founder shares.
Registration Rights
Our initial shareholders
and their permitted transferees can demand that we register the founder shares, the private units and the underlying private shares and
private rights and the units issuable upon conversion of working capital loans and the underlying ordinary shares and rights, pursuant
to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the date of the Prospectus. The holders of such securities are entitled to demand that we
register these securities at any time after we consummate an initial business combination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any
holder that is affiliated with an underwriter participating in the IPO may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period
beginning on the effective date of the registration statement of which the Prospectus forms a part. In addition, the holders have certain
“piggy-back” registration rights on registration statements filed after our consummation of a business combination; provided
that any holder that is affiliated with an underwriter participating in the IPO may participate in a “piggy-back” registration
only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the registration statement of which the Prospectus forms a part.
Our executive officers are
our “promoters,” as that term is defined under the federal securities laws.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
On March 29, 2024, we entered
into a subscription agreement, pursuant to which 1,437,500 founder shares were issued to the sponsor and the one ordinary share previously
issued to the sponsor was surrendered to and cancelled by the Company.
Subject to certain limited
exceptions, our initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell their founder shares until six months after the
date of the consummation of our initial business combination or earlier if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate
a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our shareholders having the right
to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.
Our initial shareholders
have purchased an aggregate of 254,375 private units after the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full at
a price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. Our initial shareholders have
agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private units and underlying ordinary shares until 30 days after the completion
of our initial business combination.
We have entered into agreements
with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our amended
and restated memorandum and articles of association.
39
Other than reimbursement
of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses
and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations, no compensation or fees of any kind, including finder’s fees, consulting
fees or other similar compensation, will be paid to the sponsor, officers or directors, or to any of their respective affiliates, prior
to or with respect to our initial business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is). Our independent directors will
review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates and will be responsible
for reviewing and approving all related party transactions as defined under Item 404 of Regulation S-K, after reviewing each
such transaction for potential conflicts of interests and other improprieties.
On March 29, 2024, we
issued an unsecured promissory note to the sponsor, pursuant to which we may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The
loan was, at the discretion of the sponsor, due on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2024, (ii) the consummation of the IPO
or (iii) the abandonment of the IPO. The promissory note would be payable without interest. As of December 31, 2024, we fully repaid
$249,831 to the Sponsor which are included in such promissory note. The promissory note was repaid out of the proceeds of the IPO available
to us for payment of offering expenses. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business
combination, our initial shareholders, officers and directors and their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may
be required. Such loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. In the event that we are unable to consummate an initial business combination,
we may use a portion of the IPO proceeds held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our trust account
would be used for such repayment. If we consummate an initial business combination, the notes would either be paid upon consummation of
our initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the notes may be converted
upon consummation of our business combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result
in the holders being issued 150,000 units if the full amount of notes are issued and converted).
On each of January 14, 2026,
February 5, 2026 and March 15, 2026, we issued two unsecured promissory notes, each with a principal amount of $50,000 (the “Notes”),
one to Aurora Beacon LLC, the Company’s sponsor, and one to SZG Limited, the designee of HZJL Cayman Limited, the counterparty to
the previously announced agreement and plan of merger dated as of January 27, 2025, pursuant to which a proposed business combination
among HZJL Cayman Limited, RDAC, Purchaser and Merger Sub would occur, respectively. The Notes do not bear interest and mature upon closing
of the Company’s initial business combination. The proceeds of the Notes have been deposited in the Company’s trust account
in connection with extending the business combination completion window until April 15, 2026. In addition, the Notes may be converted
by the holder into units of the Company identical to the units issued in the Company’s IPO at a price of $10.00 per unit.
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 our shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer or proxy solicitation
materials, as applicable, furnished to our shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of distribution
of such tender offer materials or at the time of a general meeting held to consider our initial business combination, as applicable, as
it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.
All ongoing and future transactions
between us and any member of our management team or his or her respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us at that time, based
upon other similar arrangements known to us, to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. It is our
intention to obtain estimates from unaffiliated third parties for similar goods or services to ascertain whether such transactions with
affiliates are on terms that are no less favorable to us than are otherwise available from such unaffiliated third parties. If a transaction
with an affiliated third party were found to be on terms less favorable to us than with an unaffiliated third party, we would not engage
in such transaction.
We are not prohibited from
pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our initial shareholders, officers or directors. In the
event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a target that is affiliated with our initial shareholders, officers or
directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another
independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that our initial business combination is fair to our company (or shareholders)
from a financial point of view.
We have entered into a registration
rights agreement with respect to the founder shares and private units, among other securities, which is described under Item 12.
40
Related Party Policy
Our Code of Ethics requires
us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except
under guidelines approved by the Board (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the
aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant,
and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our shares
of common stock, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect
material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict
of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively
and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits
as a result of his or her position.
Our audit committee, pursuant
to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions.
The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether
the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms generally available from an unaffiliated third-party under
the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate
in the approval of any transaction in which he or she is a related party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee
with all material information concerning the transaction. We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’
and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.
These procedures are intended
to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the
part of a director, employee or officer.
To further minimize conflicts
of interest, we have agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of our initial
shareholders, officers or directors unless we have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm, or another independent
entity that commonly renders valuation opinions, that the business combination is fair to our unaffiliated shareholders from a financial
point of view. We will also need to obtain approval of a majority of our disinterested independent directors. However, the following payments
will be made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, none of which will be made from the proceeds of our IPO
held in the trust account prior to the completion of our initial business combination:
Repayment loans that may
be made to us by our sponsor to cover offering-related and organizational expenses. Such loans would be evidenced by promissory notes.
If we consummate an initial business combination, the notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination,
without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of the notes may be converted upon consummation of our business
combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit; and
Reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related
to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination;
Our independent directors
will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our initial shareholders, officers, directors or our or their affiliates.
41
Director Independence
NASDAQ requires that a majority
of our board must be composed of “independent directors,” which 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.
Kun-Lin Liu, Yucan Zhang
and Chengming Dou are our independent directors. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent
directors are present. Any affiliated transactions will be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from independent parties.
Any affiliated transactions must be approved by a majority of our independent and disinterested directors.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
The firm of Adeptus Partners,
LLC (“Adeptus”) acts as our independent registered public accounting firm. The following is a summary of fees paid to Adeptus
for services rendered.
Audit Fees . Audit
fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are
normally provided by Adeptus in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees billed by Adeptus for professional services rendered
for the audit of our Form 8-K financial statements and other required filings with the SEC for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
totaled $62,500 and $32,000, respectively. This amount includes interim procedures and audit fees, as well as attendance at audit committee
meetings.
Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related
services 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 Adeptus for consultations
concerning financial accounting and reporting standards for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Tax Fees . For the
years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the aggregate fees billed by Adeptus for services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice
and tax planning totaled $0.
All Other Fees . For
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Adeptus did not render any services to us other than those set forth above.
Pre-Approval Policy
Our audit committee was formed
in connection with the effectiveness of our registration statement for our IPO. 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. Since
the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve all audit 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 Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period from March 8, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, 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 its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period March 8, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
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 limited cash, a working capital deficit of $382,105, and an accumulated deficit and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain operations which raises substantial doubt about its 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 audit 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.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024.

RISING DRAGON ACQUISITION
CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
Rising Dragon Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated on March 8, 2024 , under the laws of the Cayman Islands for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination.
The Company is an early-stage company and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage companies and emerging growth companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activities through December 31, 2025 relate to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and the evaluation of Business Combination candidates. 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 Initial Public Offering.
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on October 10, 2024. On October 15, 2024, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 5,750,000 units (the “Public Units”), which includes 750,000 Public Units upon the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option, at $ 10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 57,500,000 to the Company. Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share and one right (“Public Rights”). Each whole Public Right will entitle the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) ordinary share upon consummation of initial business combination.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 254,375 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to Aurora Beacon LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $ 2,543,750 to the Company. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Private Placement Share and one right (“Private Placement Right”). Each Private Placement Right will entitle the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) ordinary share upon consummation of the initial business combination.
Transaction costs amounted to $ 3,431,288 , consisting of $ 1,006,250 of underwriting commissions, $ 1,868,750 of deferred underwriting commissions and $ 556,288 of other offering costs.
The Company listed the Units on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”). The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. NASDAQ rules provide that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the balance in the Trust Account (as defined below) (less any deferred underwriting commissions and interest released to pay taxes payable) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement in connection with a Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, management has agreed that at least $ 10.05 per Unit, including the proceeds of the sale of the Private Units will be held in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 180 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholder, as described below.
F- 7
The Company will provide its shareholders 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 shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $ 10.05 per 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 tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to shareholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 7). The ordinary shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with 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 either immediately prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination, or otherwise we are exempt from the provisions of Rule 419 promulgated under the Securities Act (so that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules), and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
The Company’s initial shareholders (the “initial shareholders”) have agreed (a) to vote their founder shares, the ordinary shares included in the Private Placement Units (the “Private Placement Shares”) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of a Business Combination, (b) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association that would stop the public shareholders from converting or selling their shares to the Company in connection with a Business Combination or affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) unless the Company provides public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash from the Trust Account in connection with any such vote; (c) not to redeem any founder shares and Private Placement Shares as well as any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering for cash from the Trust Account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination (or sell any shares in a tender offer in connection with a Business Combination) or a vote to amend the provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association relating to shareholders’ rights of pre-Business Combination activity and (d) that the founder shares and Private Placement Shares shall not participate in any liquidating distributions upon winding up if a Business Combination is not consummated. However, the initial shareholders will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination. The Company will have until January 14, 2026 initially to consummate a Business Combination.
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 no more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100 % of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (net of taxes payable), which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. The underwriters have agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the 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 $ 10.05 .
F- 8
The Sponsor has agreed that it will 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 amounts in the Trust Account to below $ 10.05 per share (whether or not the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
On January 27, 2025, the Company, Xpand Boom Technology Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Purchaser”), Xpand Boom Solutions Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (“Merger Sub,” together with RDAC, Purchaser, the “Purchaser Parties”), HZJL Cayman Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“HZJL”), certain shareholder of HZJL (“Principal Shareholder”), and Mr. Bin Xiong, as representative of the Principal Shareholder of HZJL, entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Agreement”).
Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the Company will merge with and into Purchaser, resulting in all the Company’s shareholders becoming shareholders of the Purchaser. Concurrently therewith, Merger Sub will merge with and into HZJL, resulting in Purchaser acquiring 100 % of the issued and outstanding equity securities of HZJL (the “Acquisition Merger”). Upon the closing of the Acquisition Merger, the ordinary shares of Purchaser issued shall be reclassified into class A ordinary shares (“Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares”) and class B ordinary shares (“Purchaser Class B Ordinary Shares , ” together with Purchaser Class A Ordinary Shares, “Purchaser Ordinary Shares”) where each Purchaser Class A Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to a vote at general and special meetings of the post-closing company and each Purchaser Class B Ordinary Share shall be entitled to 10 votes on all matters subject to a vote at general and special meetings of the post-closing company.
The aggregate consideration to be paid to HZJL shareholders for the Acquisition Merger is $ 350 million, payable in newly issued Purchaser Ordinary Shares (the “Closing Payment Shares”), valued at $ 10.00 per share.
On December 12, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trust Amendment”). Pursuant to the Trust Amendment, the Company has the right to extend up to six times to complete its business combination (the “Business Combination Period”), by depositing into the Trust Account an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $ 100,000 per month for all remaining public shares or (ii) $ 0.033 for each remaining public share after giving effect to the shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination Extraordinary General Meeting.
On December 12, 2025, in connection with the shareholders vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, 1,548,345 shares were redeemed by certain shareholders at a price of approximately $ 10.55 per share, including interest generated and extension payments deposited in the Trust Account, in an aggregate amount of $ 16,331,209 . An aggregate of 5,668,070 ordinary shares were tendered for redemption in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting held on November 20, 2025, to approve the business combination and the Extension Meeting.
On each of January 14, 2026, February 5, 2026 and March 15, 2026, the Company issued two unsecured promissory notes, each with a principal amount of $ 50,000 (the “Notes”), one to Aurora Beacon LLC, the Company’s sponsor, and one to SZG Limited, the designee of HZJL Cayman Limited, the counterparty to the previously announced agreement and plan of merger dated as of January 27, 2025, pursuant to which a proposed business combination among HZJL Cayman Limited, the Company, Purchaser and Merger Sub would occur, respectively. The Notes do not bear interest and mature upon closing of the Company’s initial business combination. The proceeds of the Notes have been deposited in the Company’s trust account in connection with extending the business combination completion window until April 15, 2026. In addition, the Notes may be converted by the holder into units of the Company identical to the units issued in the Company’s IPO at a price of $ 10.00 per unit.
As of the date of this report, the Company has extended three times by an additional one month each time, and so it now has until April 15, 2026 to consummate a business combination. Pursuant to the terms of the current amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the trust agreement between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, in order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate the initial business combination, the Company’s insiders or their affiliates or designees, must deposit into the Trust Account $ 100,000 on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. On each of January 14, 2026, February 5, 2026 and March 15, 2026, the Company deposited an amount of $ 100,000 into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until April 15, 2026.
F- 9
Going Concern Consideration
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $ 37,174 and a working capital deficit of $ 382,105 . Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement. 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.
The Company initially had 15 months from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering to consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 15 months from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. As a result, this has the same effect as if the Company had formally gone through a voluntary liquidation procedure under the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands. Accordingly, no vote would be required from the shareholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, dissolution and liquidation. However, the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination 6 times (for a total of up to 21 months from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering to complete a Business Combination). If the Company is unable to consummate the Company’s Initial Business Combination by April 15, 2026 (unless further extended), the Company will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100 % of the Company’s outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not necessary to pay taxes, and then seek to liquidate and dissolve. However, the Company may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of the Company’s public shareholders.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern , management has determined that if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the IPO, the requirement that the Company cease all operations, redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
● Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
● Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
A subsidiary is the entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors.
F- 10
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the activities of the Company and each of the following entities:
Name Background Ownership
Xpand Boom Technology Inc. (“Acquirer”) A Cayman Islands company
Incorporated on January 7, 2025 100 % owned by the Company
Xpand Boom Solutions Inc. A Cayman Islands company
Incorporated on January 7, 2025 100 % owned by the Acquirer
● 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 shareholder 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 which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which 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 these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, 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, actual results may differ from these 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 $ 37,174 and $ 392,679 in cash as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
F- 11
● Investment held in Trust Account
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash, which is presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Earnings on these cash funds are included in interest income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The fair value is determined using quoted market prices in active markets.
● 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.
● Income taxes
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in the consolidated financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties 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 may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area 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 foreign 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.
The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
● Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events and considered to be outside of the Company’s control. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 4,201,655 and 5,750,000 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
F- 12
● Rights accounting
Rights — Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of a right redeemed all shares held by him, her or it in connection with a Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with respect to its pre-business combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of a Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively redeem his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of a share underlying each right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of Public Rights in order to receive his, her or its additional ordinary shares upon consummation of a Business Combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company). 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 ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary share basis.
The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Islands law. As a result, the holders of the rights must hold rights in multiples of ten in order to receive shares for all of the holders’ rights upon closing of a Business Combination. 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, the rights may expire worthless.
The Company accounts for rights as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the right’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the rights are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the rights meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the rights are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the right holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of right issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the rights are outstanding.
For issued or modified rights that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the rights are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified rights that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the rights are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the rights are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations.
As the rights issued upon the IPO and private placements meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815, therefore, the rights are classified as equity.
● Net income (loss) per share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable ordinary shares and non-redeemable ordinary shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable ordinary shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to the redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of ordinary share is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
F- 13
The net income (loss) per share presented in the consolidated statements of income is based on the following:

● Related parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
● Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Level 1: Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3: Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.
F- 14
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

● Recent accounting pronouncements
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 3 – INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On October 15, 2024, the Company sold 5,750,000 Public Units, which includes 750,000 Public Units upon the full exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option, at a purchase price of $ 10.00 per Public Unit.
Each Unit consists of one ordinary share and one Public Right. Each whole Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) ordinary share upon consummation of initial business combination.
All of the 5,750,000 public shares sold as part of the Public Units in the Initial Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation.
In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either 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 to 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. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).
F- 15
NOTE 4 – PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated a private placement of 254,375 Private Placement Units, at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Private Placement Share and one Private Placement Right. Each Private Placement Right entitles the holder to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of the initial business combination.
The Private Placement Units are identical to the Public Units sold in the Initial Public Offering except for certain registration rights and transfer restrictions.
NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On March 8, 2024, the Company issued 1 founder share at par value of $ 0.0001 and surrendered such share on March 29, 2024. On March 29, 2024, the Company authorized to issue an aggregate of 1,437,500 founder shares at par value of $ 0.0001 to the initial shareholder, including an aggregate of 187,500 ordinary shares subject to forfeiture by the sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the initial shareholder will collectively own 20 % of the issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering (excluding the sale of the Private Units and assuming the initial shareholder does not purchase any Units in the Initial Public Offering) (see Note 6) for an aggregate purchase price of $ 25,000 . On October 10, 2024, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, so those 187,500 founder shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
Private Placement
On October 15, 2024, the Company consummated the sale of 254,375 Private Placement Units at a price of $ 10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $ 2,543,750 to the Company.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On each of August 11, 2025 and November 16, 2025, the Company issued two unsecured promissory notes in an amount of $ 50,000 to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $ 100,000 (the “Promissory Note”). The notes are non-interest bearing and are payable on the earlier of the date on which the Company consummates an initial business combination.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balance of $ 100,000 and $ 0 were drawn down from the Promissory Note, respectively.
Due to Related Party
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a temporary advance of $ 204,969 and $ 0 from the Sponsor, respectively. The balance is unsecured, interest-free and has no fixed terms of repayment.
NOTE 6 – SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Preference shares
The Company is authorized to issue 500,000 ordinary shares, at par value of $ 0.0001 . As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, no Preference Shares were issued and outstanding.
F- 16
Ordinary shares
The Company is authorized to issue 55,000,000 ordinary shares, at par value of $ 0.0001 . Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 1,749,375 and 1,749,375 ordinary shares issued and outstanding and excluding 4,201,655 and 5,750,000 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.
Rights
Each holder of a right will receive one-tenth (1/10) ordinary share 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 exchange 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 Initial Public Offering. 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 ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary share basis and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive 1/10 share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).
NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration Rights
The holders of the founder shares, Private Placement Units sold in a private placement (and their underlying securities) and any Units that may be issued upon conversion of the working capital loans (and underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a 45 -day option to purchase up to 750,000 Units (over and above 5,000,000 Units referred to above) solely to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On October 15, 2024, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 750,000 Public Units, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $ 7,500,000 .
The underwriters are entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 1.75 % of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, and the balance of $ 1,868,750 will be paid upon the closing of the Business Combination.
Representative Shares
The Company issued 57,500 representative shares to the underwriters as part of the underwriting compensation. 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 date of the commencement of sales in the IPO pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(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 date of the commencement of sales in the IPO, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the commencement of sales in the IPO except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their officers, partners, registered persons or affiliates.
F- 17
NOTE 8 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting , establishes standards for companies to report in their consolidated financial statements 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 (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer , 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, which includes formation and operating costs and interest earned on investments held in Trust Account which are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are earned on investments held in Trust Account and formation and operating costs. The CODM reviews earned on 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 operating 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 operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.
NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC Topic 855, “ Subsequent Events ”, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, the Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date the unaudited financial statements were issued.
On January 14, 2026, the Company issued two unsecured promissory notes, each with a principal amount of $ 50,000 (the “Notes”), one to Sponsor, and one to SZG Limited, the designee of HZJL, pursuant to which such amount had been deposited into the Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until February 15, 2026.
