Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls
and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed
with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report,
is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls
are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management
evaluated, with the participation of our current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our “Certifying Officers”),
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange
Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls
and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits
must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances
of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company,
(2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and
(3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial statements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting at December 31, 2025. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments
and those criteria, management determined that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December
31, 2025, due to the material weakness in our internal controls as a result of inadequate segregation of duties within accounting processes
due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT, and financial reporting and record keeping.
This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include
an attestation report of internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth
company under the JOBS Act.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
Other than as described herein, there were no
changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, none of our
directors or executive officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) has adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1
trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (each as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).
Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions
that Prevent Inspections.
None.

Number, Terms of Office and Election of Officers
and Directors
Our board of directors consists of four members
and is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being appointed in each year, and with each class (except for those
directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting) serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of
directors, which consists of Kani Chen, will expire at our first annual general meeting. The term of office of the second class of directors,
which consists of James Zhao-Hui Zhang and Jon Nathan Miller will expire at the second annual general meeting. The term of office of the
third class of directors, which consists of Angshuman (Bubai) Ghosh, will expire at the third annual general meeting.
Prior to the closing of our initial business combination,
only holders of our Class B ordinary shares will be entitled to vote on the appointment and removal of directors. Holders of our
public shares will not be entitled to vote on such matters during such time. These provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and
articles of association relating to these rights of holders of Class B ordinary shares may be amended by a special resolution passed
by the affirmative vote of at least 90% of such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed,
by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the company, or by way of unanimous written resolution. In accordance with Nasdaq corporate
governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual general meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following
our listing on Nasdaq.
Our officers are appointed by the board of directors
and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized
to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our Amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as it deems appropriate.
Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles provide that our officers may consist of one or more Chairman of the Board, one or more
Chief Executive Officers, a President, a Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant Secretary, and such
other officers as may be determined by the board of directors.
Director Independence
The Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority
of our Board of Directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person who has no material relationship
with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).
Our board has determined that each of James (Zhao Hui) Zhang, Kani Chen and Jon Miller are independent directors under applicable SEC
and Nasdaq rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Officer and Director Compensation
None of our officers or directors have received
any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on the date that our securities are first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier
of consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation, we will pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per
month for office space, administrative and support services. Our Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates,
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 audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments
that were made to our Sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates.
31
After the completion of our initial business combination,
directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company.
All of these fees will be 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 such materials are distributed, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for
determining officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers will be determined by a compensation committee
constituted solely by independent 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.
Committees of the Board of Directors
We have established three committees under the
board of directors: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a corporate governance and nominating committee and have adopted
a charter for each of the three committees. Each committee’s members and functions are described below.
Audit Committee
We have established an audit committee of the
Board of Directors. The members of our audit committee are James (Zhao Hui) Zhang, Kani Chen and Jon Miller. Mr. Zhang serves as
chairman of the audit committee.
Each member of the audit committee is financially
literate and our Board of Directors has determined that Chris Constable qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”
as defined in applicable SEC rules.
We have adopted an audit committee charter, which
details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:
●
reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in our Form 10-K;
●
discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements;
●
discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies;
●
monitoring the independence of the independent auditor;
●
verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;
●
reviewing and approving all related-party transactions;
●
inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
32
●
pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;
●
appointing or replacing the independent auditor;
●
determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;
●
establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies; and
●
approving reimbursement of expenses incurred by our management team in identifying potential target businesses.
Financial Experts on Audit Committee
The audit committee will at all times be composed
exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined under the Nasdaq listing standards.
The Nasdaq listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements,
including a company’s balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement.
In addition, we must certify to Nasdaq that the
committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional
certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication.
The board of directors has determined that Mr. Zhang qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under
rules and regulations of the SEC.
Corporate governance and nominating committee
We have established a corporate governance and
nominating committee of the board of directors, which consists of James Zhao-Hui Zhang, Kani Chen and Jon Miller, each of whom is an independent
director under the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules. Mr. Miller is the Chairperson of the corporate governance and nominating committee.
The corporate governance and nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our
board of directors. The corporate governance and 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 Corporate Governance and 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 corporate governance and nominating committee
will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism
in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The corporate governance and 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 board
of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders,
if any (or, if applicable, a special meeting of shareholders). Our shareholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the board
of directors should follow the procedures set forth in our memorandum and articles of association. The corporate governance and nominating
committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.
33
Compensation Committee
We have established a compensation committee of
the Board of Directors. The members of our Compensation Committee are James (Zhao Hui) Zhang, Kani Chen and Jon Miller. Mr. Miller serves
as chairman of the compensation committee. We have adopted 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’s based on such evaluation;
●
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.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to
our directors, officers and employees. You will be able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web
site at www.sec.gov . In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. 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.
Conflicts of Interest
●
None of our officers and directors is required to commit their full time to our affairs and, accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time among various business activities.
●
In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to our company as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our directors and officers may continue to be involved in the formation of other special purpose acquisition companies in the future. Thus, our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
●
Our officers and directors may in the future become affiliated with entities, including other blank check companies, engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by our company.
34
●
Unless we consummate our initial business combination, our officers, directors, and other insiders will not receive reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them to the extent that such expenses exceed the amount of available proceeds not deposited in the trust account.
●
The initial shares beneficially owned by our officers and directors will be released from trust only if our initial business combination is successfully completed. Additionally, if we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time frame, our officers and directors will not be entitled to receive any amounts held in the trust account with respect to any of their initial shares or private units. Furthermore, our Sponsor, Ribbon Investment Company Ltd, agreed that the private units will not be sold or transferred by it until we have completed our initial business combination. For the foregoing reasons, our board may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to affect our initial business combination.
In general, officers and directors of a company
incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands are required to present business opportunities to a company if:
●
the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;
●
the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and
●
it would not be fair to the corporation and its shareholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.
Accordingly, as a result of multiple business
affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the
above-listed criteria to multiple entities. Furthermore, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that,
to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our officers or directors shall have no duty, except to the extent expressly assumed
by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as our company.
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 pre-existing fiduciary or contractual
obligations he might have. This agreement is, however, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations such officer
or director may from time to time have to another entity. Accordingly, if any of them becomes aware of a business combination opportunity
which is suitable for an entity to which he has pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations, he will honor his fiduciary or contractual
obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity.
We do not believe, however, that the pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers and directors will materially
undermine our ability to complete our business combination because in most cases the affiliated companies are closely held entities controlled
by the officer or director or the nature of the affiliated company’s business is such that it is unlikely that a conflict will arise.

pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of our officers and directors:

(1) Each of the entities listed in this table has priority and
preference relative to our company with respect to the performance by each individual listed in this table of his obligations and the
presentation by each such individual of business opportunities.
(2) Our directors and officers owe fiduciary duties to each of
the entities that they are affiliated with in accordance with the fiduciary duties owed by persons in such capacity to the entity.
In addition, our sponsor and our officers and directors may sponsor
or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period
in which we are seeking an initial business combination. As a result, our sponsor, officers and directors could have conflicts of interest
in determining whether to present business combination opportunities to us or to any other special purpose acquisition company with which
they may become involved. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial
business combination target which could materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.
We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial
business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial
business combination with such a company, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment
banking firm or another independent firm that commonly renders valuation opinions for the type of company we are seeking to acquire or
an independent accounting firm, that such an initial business combination is fair to our Company from a financial point of view.
In the event that we submit our initial business
combination to our public shareholders for a vote, our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to the terms of a letter
agreement entered into with us, to vote any Initial shares held by them (and their permitted transferees will agree) and any Public Shares
purchased during or after the IPO in favor of our initial business combination.
36
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. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred
in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud or willful default. We may purchase 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.
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 therefore
unenforceable.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
None of our officers or directors have received
any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on the date that our securities are first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier
of consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation, we will pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per
month for office space, administrative and support services. Our Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates,
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 audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments
that were made to our Sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates.
After the completion of our initial business combination,
directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company.
All of these fees will be 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 such materials are distributed, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for
determining officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers will be determined by a compensation committee
constituted solely by independent 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.

Represents shares held of record by our sponsor. Our sponsor is governed by its sole managing member, Ribbon Ventures Ltd. As such, Ribbon Ventures Ltd has voting and investment discretion with respect to the ordinary shares held of record by our sponsor and may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the ordinary shares held directly by our sponsor. The address for our sponsor is 89 Nexus Way, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman, KY1-9009, Cayman Islands.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions, and Director Independence.
In August 2024, the Company issued 1,437,500 Class
B ordinary shares, $0.0001 per share to the Sponsor, the initial shares, for an aggregated consideration of $25,000. The Class B ordinary
shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of our
initial business combination, or earlier at the option of the holders thereof on a one-for-one basis, subject to the adjustments described
in our Registration Statement. In addition, 187,500 of such initial shares were forfeited as the underwriters’ over-allotment option
in the initial public offering was not exercised.
On January 16, 2025, the Company consummated its
initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 5,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary
share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) and one right to receive one-seventh (1/7th) of
one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering
price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $50,000,000. The Company also granted the underwriters a 45-day option to
purchase up to an additional 750,000 units to cover over-allotments, if any.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO
and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 220,000 Units (the “Placement
Units”), each Placement Unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-seventh (1/7th) of one Class
A ordinary share, to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,200,000. The issuance of the
Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.
A total of $50,000,000 of the net proceeds from
the IPO and the Private Placement were placed in a U.S.-based trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public
shareholders and maintained by Odyssey Trust Company, acting as trustee.
On March 7, 2025, holders of the Company’s
units could elect to separately trade the ordinary shares and rights included in its units. The ordinary shares and rights are expected
to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “RIBB” and “RIBBR,” respectively.
Units not separated will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “RIBBU.” Holders of units will need to have their brokers
contact the Company’s transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company, in order to separate the holders’ Units into ordinary shares
and rights.
As more fully discussed in “Item 10. Directors,
Executive Officers and Corporate Governance — Conflicts of Interest,” if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of
a business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary
or contractual obligations, he or she may be required to present such business combination opportunity to such entity prior to presenting
such business combination opportunity to us, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Our officers and directors
currently have certain relevant fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may take priority over their duties to us.
We has agreed to pay our Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office
space, administrative and support services to such affiliate, commencing from the date that our securities are first listed on Nasdaq
through the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation. Upon completion of our initial business
combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. Accordingly, in the event the consummation of our initial business
combination takes the maximum 12 months from the closing of this offering (as of December 31, 2025), subject to any extension approved
by our shareholders, an affiliate of our sponsor will be paid a total of $120,000 ($10,000 per month) for office space, administrative
and support services and will be entitled to be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses.
39
Our Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of
their respective affiliates, 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 audit committee will review
on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates and will determine which
expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.
If we anticipate that we may be unable to consummate our initial business
combination within such period, we may seek shareholder approval to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association
to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. If we seek shareholder approval for an extension, our
public shareholders will be offered an opportunity to redeem their shares at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding
public shares, subject to applicable laws. If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within the 12-month period
(as of December 31, 2025), subject to any extension approved by our shareholders, or such period that may be extended, we will, (i) cease
all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter,
subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of taxes payable and less interest to pay dissolution expenses up
to $100,000) divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, 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 our remaining shareholders and our board of directors,
liquidate and dissolve. However, we may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority
over the claims of our public shareholders. In the event of our liquidation and subsequent dissolution, the rights will expire and will
be worthless. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, our shareholders approved an extension of the period to consummate a business combination,
as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed in January 2026.
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 shareholder 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.
We have entered into a registration rights agreement
with respect to the initial shares, representative shares, private placement units, and units that may be issued on conversion of working
capital loans (and in each case holders of their component securities, as applicable).
Related Party Policy
We have not yet adopted a formal policy for the
review, approval or ratification of related party transactions. Accordingly, the transactions discussed above were not reviewed, approved
or ratified in accordance with any such policy.
We have adopted a code of ethics requiring us
to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by our Board of Directors (or
the appropriate committee of our board) or as disclosed in our public filings with the SEC. Under our code of ethics, conflict of interest
situations will include any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness)
involving the Company. You will be able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov .
In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. 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.
40
In addition, our audit committee is responsible
for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent that we enter into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority
of the members of the audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be required in order to approve a related
party transaction. A majority of the members of the entire audit committee will constitute a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous
written consent of all of the members of the audit committee will be required to approve a related party transaction. A form of the audit
committee charter that we have adopted prior to the consummation of this offering is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement
of which this prospectus is a part. 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 sponsor, officers or directors
unless we, or a committee of independent directors, have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent
firm that commonly renders valuation opinions for the type of company we are seeking to acquire or an independent accounting firm, that
our initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. Furthermore, no finder’s fees, reimbursements
or cash payments will be made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to
or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. 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 this offering held in the trust account
prior to the completion of our initial business combination:
●
Repayment of up to an aggregate of up to $300,000 in loans made to us by our sponsor to cover offering-related and organizational expenses;
●
Payment to an affiliate of our sponsor of $10,000 per month, for up to 12 months , for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support; and
●
Reimbursement for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and completing an initial business combination.
Our audit committee will review on a quarterly
basis all payments that were made to our sponsor, officers or directors, or our or their affiliates.
Director Independence
The Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority
of our Board of Directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person who has no material relationship
with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company).
Our board has determined that each of James (Zhao Hui) Zhang, Kani Chen and Jon Miller is an independent director under applicable SEC
and Nasdaq rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Ribbon Acquisition Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet
of Ribbon Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statements of operations, changes
in shareholder’s (deficit) equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025 and for the period from July 17, 2024 (inception)
to 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 from July 17, 2024 (inception)
to December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, if the
Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and complete a business combination by January 16, 2027
then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory
liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plan in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. 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.
/s/ Audit Alliance LLP
We have served as the Company’s auditor
since 2024.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Description of Organization and Business Operations
Ribbon Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”)
is a newly incorporated blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on July 17, 2024 . The Company was incorporated
for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination
with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced
any operations. All activity through December 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined
below). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest.
The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public
Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s Sponsor is Ribbon Investment
Company Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Sponsor”). The Company’s ability to commence operations is contingent
upon obtaining adequate financial resources through an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) of 5,000,000 units at $ 10.00 per unit
(the “Units”), which is discussed in Note 3 (the “Initial Public Offering”) and a private placement to the initial
shareholder (the “Private Placement,” see Note 4). The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to
the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be generally applied
toward consummating a Business Combination (less deferred underwriting commissions).
The registration statement for the Company’s
IPO was declared effective on January 14, 2025. On January 16, 2025, the Company consummated its IPO of 5,000,000 Units. Each Unit consists
of one Class A ordinary share, $ 0.0001 par value per share, and one right to receive one-seventh of one Class A ordinary share upon the
completion of the initial Business Combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $ 10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds
of $ 50,000,000 .
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO
and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement of 220,000 units (the “Initial Private Placement Units”)
to the Sponsor at a price of $ 10.00 per Initial Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $ 2,200,000 .
Transaction costs amounted to $ 1,512,780 consisting
of $ 1,000,000 underwriting commissions which were paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO, and $ 512,780 of other offering costs. At
the closing date of the IPO, cash of $ 710,916 was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for the payment of accrued offering
costs and for working capital purposes.
The Company must complete one or more Business
Combinations having a fair market value of at least 80 % of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting discounts
and commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for
our initial business combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns
or acquires 50 % or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target
sufficient for it not to be required to register as an Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to
successfully effect a Business Combination.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Description of Organization and Business Operations (Continued)
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering,
management has agreed that an aggregate of $ 10.00 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering will be held in a Trust Account (“Trust
Account”) and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills, bonds or notes with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in
money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act and that invest solely in United States
government treasuries, so that the Company are not deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act. Except with respect
to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay income or other tax obligations,
the proceeds will not be released from the trust account until the earlier of the completion of a business combination or the Company’s
liquidation. The proceeds held in the trust account may be used as consideration to pay the sellers of a target business with which the
Company completes a business combination to the extent not used to pay converting shareholders. Any amounts not paid as consideration
to the sellers of the target business may be used to finance the operations of the target business.
The Company
will provide the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the
initial Business Combination at a per- share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account
calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest (which interest shall
be net of taxes payable) divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares. The amount in the Trust Account is initially
anticipated to be $ 10.0 per public share. The per share amount the Company will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares
will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters.
The Class
A 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board’s
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $ 5,000,001 upon
such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares
voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.
The Company
will have only 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Combination
Period”) to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company has not completed the initial Business Combination within
the Combination Period, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as
reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100 % of the public
shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest
(net of taxes payable and less interest to pay dissolution expenses up to $ 100,000 ) divided by the number of then issued and outstanding
public shares, 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 Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate
and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide
for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Company’s initial shareholders have agreed to waive their
rights to share in any distribution from the trust account with respect to their initial shares upon our winding up, liquidation and subsequent
dissolution.
At an extraordinary general meeting held on January
9, 2026, the shareholders of the Company approved: (i)by special resolution, the adoption of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated
Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Second A&R M&A”), which extends the date by which the Company must consummate
an initial business combination from January 16, 2026 to January 16, 2027.
On January 26, 2026, the Company entered into
Amendment No. 1 to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company, the
Trustee. Effective upon the Amendment, no interest earned on the Trust Account may be withdrawn to pay dissolution expenses. The Amendment
was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the meeting held on January 9, 2026, concurrent with the approval of the extension
of the business combination period.

The Sponsor,
officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their initial shares, private shares and
public shares in connection with the completion of our initial business combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to
their initial shares, private shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and
restated memorandum and articles of association (a) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection
with our initial business combination or to redeem 100 % of our public shares if we have not consummated an initial business combination
within the completion window or (b) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial
business combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their initial
shares and private shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the completion window, although they will be
entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial
business combination within the prescribed time frame; and (iv) vote any initial shares and private shares held by them and any public
shares purchased during or after this offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions, aside from shares
they may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act, which would not be voted in favor of
approving the business combination transaction) in favor of our initial business combination.
The Sponsor
has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold
to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality
or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $ 10.00
per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust
Account, if less than $ 10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability
will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies
held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply 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. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the
Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes
that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be
able to satisfy those obligations.
Business
Combination Agreement
On June 30, 2025, the Company entered into a Business
Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among DRC Medicine Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“PubCo”),
DRC Medicine Ltd. a Japanese corporation (“DRC Medicine”), and DRC Merger Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary
of PubCo (“Merger Sub”). The Business Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that on the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth therein, (i) on or one day prior to the Closing Date (defined below), PubCo and DRC Medicine will engage in a
share exchange, whereby DRC Medicine’s shareholders will exchange their shares in the company for newly issued shares of PubCo;
(ii) on or one day prior to the Closing Date, the Company will de-register in the Cayman Islands and transfer by way of continuation out
of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to migrate to and domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”),
and (iii) following the Domestication, the Company will be merged with and into Merger Sub, as a result of which Merger Sub will be the
surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Merger”), (prior to the Domestication, the SPAC shall be referred
to herein as “Parent”). Merger Sub, together with PubCo and DRC Medicine Ltd. may be referred to herein as the “DRC
Company Parties”. The Domestication, Merger, and other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are collectively
referred to as the “Business Combination;” and the consummation of the Merger is referred to as the “Closing”
and the date of the Closing is referred to as the “Closing Date.”
DRC Medicine is in the business of the design and manufacture of AI-powered
allergy and infection diagnostic kits and protective face masks.

Share Exchange
On or before one day prior to the Closing Date,
a holding company incorporated in Japan and holding shares in PubCo, will engage in a share exchange with shareholders of DRC Medicine,
whereby the shareholders of DRC Medicine will exchange their shares in DRC Medicine for newly issued shares of PubCo. Each Common Share
of DRC Medicine issued and outstanding prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be exchanged for a number of shares of PubCo Common Stock
equal to the Consideration Ratio, and, accordingly, each holder of Common Shares of DRC Medicine immediately prior to said exchange shall
receive, for such Common Shares of DRC Medicine that it holds, a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration equal to (x) the Consideration
Ratio multiplied by (y) the number of Common Shares of DRC Medicine held by such holder of Common Shares of DRC Medicine immediately prior
to said exchange (the “Share Exchange”).
The Domestication
One business day prior to the Closing Date, the
Company shall de-register in the Cayman Islands and transfer by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware
so as to migrate to and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Delaware law and the Company’s governing documents
(the “Domestication”).
Before the Domestication, the Company’s
capitalization consists of Parent Ordinary Shares, Parent Rights, and Parent Units, collectively (all defined below). “Parent Ordinary
Shares” means Parent Class A Ordinary Shares and Parent Class B Ordinary Shares. “Parent Rights” means the issued and
outstanding rights of Parent, each such right convertible into one share of Parent Common Stock at the closing of a business combination.
“Parent Unit” means each outstanding unit consisting of one share of Parent Common Stock and one-seventh (1/7) of one Parent
Right denominated in one share of Parent Common Stock. Following the Domestication, PubCo’s capitalization shall consist of common
stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “PubCo Common Stock”).
Upon the Domestication, every issued and outstanding
Parent Class A Ordinary Share shall convert automatically into one share of PubCo Class A Common Stock. Further, every issued and outstanding
Parent Unit shall also be separated automatically into each’s individual components of one share of PubCo’s Common Stock and
one-seventh (1/7) of one share of Class A Common Stock, and all Parent Units shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be
canceled and retired and shall cease to exist.
The Merger
On the Closing Date, after the consummation of
the Domestication, the following shall occur: (i) the Parent shall be merged with and into the Merger Sub, (ii) the separate corporate
existence of the Parent shall thereupon cease, and the Merger Sub shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (after the Merger Effective
Time, the Merger Sub may be referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”), and (iii) the Surviving Corporation will remain a
wholly-owned Subsidiary of PubCo (the “Merger”).
Consideration and Structure
The Aggregate Merger Consideration to be issued
to the selling securityholders in connection with the Merger will be determined by dividing (a) 350,000,000 (the “Equity Value”)
by (b) the price (the “Redemption Price”) at which each of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares may be redeemed in connection with
the Business Combination. The “Consideration Ratio” is the number of shares of PubCo Common Stock to be issued in exchange
for issued and outstanding capital stock upon the Merger and is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Aggregate Merger Consideration
by (y) the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares, as defined in the Business Combination Agreement.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying
financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US
GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s final prospectus for its IPO as
filed with the SEC on January 16, 2025.
Emerging Growth Company Status
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 auditor 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 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.
Going Concern Consideration
As of December
31, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficit of $ 556,173 , net cash used in operating activities of $ 699,419 and accumulated deficit
of $ 344,465 .
The Company has incurred and expects to continue
to incur significant costs in pursuit of the consummation of an initial Business Combination. In addition, the Company initially has until
January 16, 2027 to consummate the initial Business Combination (assume no extensions). If the Company does not complete a Business Combination
within the prescribed timeline, 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. Notwithstanding management’s belief that the Company would have
sufficient funds to execute its business strategy, there is a possibility that business combination might not happen within the 12-month
period from the issuance date of these financial statements. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures
of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that the mandatory liquidation,
should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. Therefore, management has determined that such additional condition raise substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the
Company is required to liquidate. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability
to consummate the initial Business Combination to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates
The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of 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 financial statements, which management considered in formulating its
estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly
from those estimates.
Cash
The Company
considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash. Cash were $ 11,497 and
nil as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Cash Held in Trust Account
As of December
31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had $ 51,948,314 and nil , respectively, in cash held in the Trust Account.
Offering
Costs Associated with the IPO
Offering
costs consist principally of professional and registration fees. As of January 16, 2025, offering costs totaled $ 3,512,780 . This amount
consisted of $ 1,000,000 underwriting commissions which were paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO, $ 2,000,000
of deferred underwriting commissions (payable only upon completion of a Business Combination) and $ 512,780 of other offering costs .
The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1, SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5A — “Expenses
of Offering”, and SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5T — “Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid
by Principal Stockholder(s)”. Offering costs were charged to shareholder’s equity upon the completion of the IPO. The Company
allocates offering costs between public shares and public rights based on the estimated fair values of them at the date of issuance. Accordingly,
$ 3,315,186 was allocated to public shares and was charged to temporary equity, and of $ 197,594 was allocated to public rights, and was
charged to shareholder’s equity.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair
value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement
(“ASC 820”), approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term

Net Income
(Loss) Per Ordinary Share
Net income

ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. Weighted average shares were reduced for the effect of an aggregate of 187,500 Class B ordinary
shares that are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised by the underwriters (see Note 7). As of December
31, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted
into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Income
Taxes
The Company
follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”).
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized.
ASC 740
prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be
sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. 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 as income tax expense.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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’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 period presented.
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible
redemption
All of the 5,000,000 Ordinary Shares
sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection
with the Company’s liquidation, 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 certificate of incorporation.
The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary
shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”
(ASC 480). Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) will be classified as a liability instrument and will be measured
at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features 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)
will be classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares will be classified as stockholders’ equity. In accordance
with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the
redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. All of the 5,000,000 Ordinary Shares sold as part of the Units
in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation,
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 certificate of incorporation.
Given that the 5,000,000 Class A ordinary shares
sold as part of the units in the IPO will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., rights), the initial carrying value of
Class A ordinary shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. If it
is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) accrete changes in the redemption
value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable,
if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or (ii) recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur
and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected
to recognize the changes in redemption value as a charge against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, as a charge
against additional paid-in-capital.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company
recorded accretion of ordinary share subject to redemption value of $5,864,137.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November
2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 — Segment Reporting — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
(“ASU 2023-07”). This update requires public entities to disclose its significant segment expense categories and amounts for
each reportable segment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. As of December 31, 2025, the Company adopted ASU 2023-07 and reported
its operations as a single reportable segment, noting no disaggregation of Company activities, management or allocation of resources by
geographic region, business activity or organizational method, thus this new guidance does not affect the disclosures. See Note 8 for
further information.
In November
2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40):
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement
- Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”).
ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific
types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early
adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these standards will have on it financial statements.
Management

where the Company is not the surviving company in a business combination, each holder of a right will receive one-seventh (1/7) of an
ordinary share (the “Rights”) upon consummation of the initial business combination. In the event the Company will not be
the surviving company upon completion of our initial business combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert
his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-seventh (1/7) of a share of the Company underlying each right upon consummation of
the business combination unless otherwise waived in the course of the business combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon exchange
of 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. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed
in accordance with the applicable provisions of Cayman Law. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within
the required time 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 an initial Business Combination. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.

TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 8 - Segment Reporting
ASC Topic
280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for companies to report, in their financial statements, information about operating segments,
products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in
business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available
that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and
assess performance.
The Company’s
chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer , who reviews the assets, operating
results, and financial metrics 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 reporting segment.
The CODM
assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on
the statement of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. When
evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics
included in net income or loss and total assets.
The key
measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are administrative fee . Administrative
fee is reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a business combination
or similar transaction within the business combination period. The CODM also reviews Administrative fee to manage, maintain and enforce
all contractual agreements to ensure expenses are aligned with all agreements and budget. Formation costs, as reported on the statement
of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
All other
segment items included in net loss are reported on the statement of operations and described within their respective disclosures.
Note
9 - Subsequent Events
On January 9, 2026, the Company held a special
meeting of shareholders, in connection with which holders of 1,436,867 Class A ordinary shares exercised their right to redeem their shares
for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Company’s trust account. As a result, an aggregate amount of approximately $ 14,937,326
(approximately $ 10.395761 per share) was withdrawn from the trust account to pay such redeeming shareholders.
The Company
evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were
available to be issued. Based upon this review, except for the events mentioned in Note 1 and Note 6, the Company did not identify any
other subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
