ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 5, 2024, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to pursue a Business Combination with a target in any industry that can benefit from the expertise and capabilities of our Management Team. While our efforts in identifying prospective target businesses will not be limited to a particular geographic region, we intend to focus our search on businesses in Asia within the deep technology sector, including artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and biotechnology. However, we will not consummate a Business Combination with an entity or business with China operations consolidated through a variable interest entity (“VIE”) structure. We are an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Business Combination Agreement
On October 2, 2025, the Company entered into
a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination
Agreement”), by and among NYB Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“PubCo”),
NYB Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Amalgamation Sub”)
and Nanyang Biologics Pte. Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares (“Nanyang” or “Target”).
The Business Combination Agreement provides for,
among other things, the following transactions: (i) the Company will merge with and into PubCo (the “Merger”), with PubCo
being the Surviving Company; and (ii) following the Merger, Amalgamation Sub and Nanyang will amalgamate and continue as one company,
with Nanyang being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Amalgamation”). The Merger,
the Amalgamation and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business
Combination.”
Business Combination
Consideration
In accordance with the terms and subject to the
conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, (i) each issued and outstanding Nanyang ordinary share will automatically be cancelled
and converted into such number of newly issued PubCo Shares as determined in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement;
(ii) each issued and outstanding share of Amalgamation Sub will automatically be converted into one Surviving Company’s ordinary
shares and accordingly, PubCo shall be the holder of all Surviving Company’s ordinary shares; (iii) each issued and outstanding
Company ordinary share will be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for one PubCo Share; and (iv) each issued and outstanding rights
of the Company shall cease to be a right with respect to the Company’s ordinary shares and shall be exchanged for one-twentieth
(1/20th) of a PubCo Share. Any fractional PubCo Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

Extension and Redemption
On November 10, 2025, the Company held an extraordinary
general meeting of shareholders. The shareholders approved the following: (1) the Company amended its Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association (the “Existing Charter”) on November 10, 2025, by adopting the Amendment to the Existing Charter
in the form set forth in Annex A to the definitive proxy statement, as supplemented, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
on October 14, 2025 (as supplemented, the “Articles Amendment”), reflecting the extension of the date by which the Company
must consummate a business combination from the Termination Date by up to nine (9) extensions comprised of one month each (each an “Extension”,
the end date of each Extension shall be referred to as “Extended Date”) up to August 15, 2026 (i.e., for a period of time
ending up to 27 months after the consummation of its initial public offering for a total of nine (9) months after the Termination Date
(assuming a business combination has not occurred); and (2) a proposal to amend the Company’s investment management trust agreement,
dated as of May 16, 2024, (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Trustee, to allow the Company to extend
the Termination Date up to nine (9) times for an additional one (1) month each time from the Termination Date or Extended Date, as applicable,
to August 15, 2026 (the “Trust Agreement Amendment”) by providing five days’ advance notice to the Trustee prior to
the applicable Termination Date or Extended Date and depositing into the Trust Account $0.03 for each Public Share not redeemed in connection
with the Extension Amendment Proposal, up to a maximum of $60,000, per one-month extension two (2) days prior to such Extension (the “Extension
Payment”) until August 15, 2026 and (3) a proposal to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary,
to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting,
there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal or to provide additional
time to effectuate the Extension Amendment, Trust Agreement Amendment and Extension.
In connection with the shareholders’ vote
at the extraordinary general meeting, holders of 6,668,735 ordinary shares of the Company exercised their right to redeem such shares
(the “Redemption”) for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $71,580,705 (approximately
$10.73 per share) were removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders, leaving approximately $51.9 million in the Trust Account as
of the date of the Redemption. Following the aforementioned Redemption, the Company has an aggregate 8,343,765 ordinary shares outstanding,
of which 4,831,265 are public shares subject to possible redemption.
On November 19, 2025, Nanyang deposited $60,000
into Trust Account, extending the Termination Date to December 15, 2025. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Nanyang shall
pay the required Extension fee into Trust Account and all such amounts shall be deemed Nanyang’s transaction cost.
On December 15, 2025, the Company transferred
$60,000 into Trust Account on behalf of Nanyang, due to a delay payment from Nanyang, extending the Termination Date to January 15, 2026.
As a result, the Company recorded a due from Target of $60,000 as of December 31, 2025.
Subsequent to December 31, 2025, Nanyang transferred
$60,000 into Trust Account, extending the Termination Date to February 15, 2026.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from February 5, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had net
income of $3,367,296, which consist of interest earned on cash held in Trust Account of $4,624,152, partially offset by operational costs
of $1,256,856.
For the period from February 5, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we had a net income of
$3,157,131, which consist of interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $3,518,931, partially offset by operating costs of $361,800.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, by the Sponsor, issuance of representative shares to EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. and advances from the Sponsor.
On May 21, 2024, we consummated
the Initial Public Offering of 10,000,000 units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000. Simultaneously with the
closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 400,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital,
Inc., the representative of the underwriters, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $4,000,000.
On May 23, 2024, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units. As a result, on May 23, 2024, the Company sold an additional 1,500,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $15,000,000. In connection with this sale, the Sponsor and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. also purchased an additional 37,500 Private Placement Units from the Company, generating gross proceeds of $375,000.
Following the Initial Public Offering and the private placement and the exercising of underwriters’ over-allotment option in full, an aggregate of $115,575,000 ($10.05 per Unit) was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred transaction costs of $5,975,732 consisting of $2,000,000 of cash underwriting fees, $3,500,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $475,732 of other offering costs. As a result of the underwriters’ election to exercise the over-allotment option in full on May 23, 2024, we incurred additional transaction costs of $825,000 consisting of $300,000 of cash underwriting fees and $525,000 of deferred underwriting fees.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used
in operating activities was $561,403. Net income of $3,367,296 was affected by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $4,624,152.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $695,453 of cash for operating activities.
For the period from February 5, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $89,501. Net income of $3,157,131 was affected by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $3,518,931, payment of expenses through issuance of Ordinary Shares of $25,000, and payment of expenses through advance from related party of $31,620. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $215,679 of cash for operating activities.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash provided
by investing activities was $71,460,705, which consists of cash withdrawn from Trust Account in connection with redemption of $71,580,705,
partially offset by investment of cash into Trust Account of $120,000.

in investing activities was $115,575,000, which consists of investment of cash into Trust Account of $115,575,000.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used

by extension deposit from Nanyang of $60,000.
For the year ended
December 31, 2024, cash provided by financing activities was $116,623,287, which consists of proceeds from sale of Units, net of underwriting
discounts paid $112,700,000, Proceeds from sale of Private Placement Units of $4,375,000, proceeds from sale of representative shares
of $1,739 and advances from related party of 45,317, partially offset by p ayment of offering costs
of $498,769.
73
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash held in the
Trust Account of $52,257,378. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all
the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable),
to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete
our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of
the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash of $337,383.
We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence
on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their
representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and
complete a Business Combination, and to pay for directors and officers liability insurance premiums.
In order to finance working capital deficit or to finance transaction
costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers
and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we will
repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working
capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay
the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be convertible into Working Capital Units of the post Business
Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units and the underlying securities would be identical
to the Private Placement Units.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Our officers, directors and our Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
In addition, if we are unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, our board of directors would proceed to commence voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that our plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period.
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” our management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2025. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
74
Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an aggregate of $10,000 per month to the Sponsor or an affiliate thereof for use of office space, utilities, and administrative support. We began incurring these fees on May 16, 2024 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
We engaged EBC as an advisor
in connection with our Business Combination to assist in holding meetings with our shareholders to discuss the potential Business Combination
and the target business’ attributes, introduce us to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection
with our initial Business Combination and assist with press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination.
We will pay EBC a service fee for such services upon the consummation of our Business Combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross
proceeds, an aggregate of $4,025,000 of the Initial Public Offering (as the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full
on May 23, 2024). In addition, we will pay EBC a service fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the total consideration payable in the
initial Business Combination if it introduces us to the target business with whom we complete an initial Business Combination.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the period reported. Making estimates requires Management to exercise significant
judgement. 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 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 could materially differ from those estimates. As of December 31,
2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
