Overview
We
are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 5, 2024 formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation,
share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (the “Business
Combination”). 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 Warrants, 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.
Results
of Operations
We
have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from June 5, 2024 (inception) through
December 31, 2025 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and 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 on marketable securities 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 a net income of $2,948, which consists of loss on derivative liability of $1,612,150,
transaction costs of $111,382, and general and administrative costs of $382,325, offset by interest earned on marketable securities
held in the Trust Account of $2,108,805. General and administrative costs for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the
period from June 5, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 was significantly higher primarily due to accounting and legal fees
related to the IPO and completing a business combination.
For
the period from June 5, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $50,041, which is entirely consists of general
and administrative expenses.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources and Going Concern
On
July 16, 2025, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 11,500,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of
their over-allotment option in the amount of 1,500,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000, which is
discussed in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 3,250,000 Private Placement
Warrants, comprising of two classes of warrants, consisting of Class B.1 warrants and Class B.2 warrants, at a price of $1.00 per Private
Placement Warrant, in a private placement to the Sponsor, and the representatives of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering,
generating gross proceeds of $3,250,000.
Following
the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Units, a total of $115,000,000 was placed
in the Trust Account. We incurred $6,471,835 in Initial Public Offering related costs, consisting of $2,000,000 of cash underwriting
fee, $4,025,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $446,835 of other offering costs.
65
For
the period from June 5, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $0. Net loss of $50,041
was impacted by payment of expenses through promissory note of $15,873, payment of formation costs through promissory note – related
party of $8,081, and operating costs applied to prepaid contributed by sponsor through promissory note – related party of $26,000.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $87 of prepaid expenses from operating activities.
As
of December 31, 2025, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $117,108,805 (including approximately $2,108,805 of interest
income) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay
taxes, if any. We intend to use substantially all of 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 $378,794. 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, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In
order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain
of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business
Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the
working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for
such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into Class B.1 warrants of the post Business Combination
entity at a price of $1.00 per private warrant at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
In
connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Going Concern,”
as of December 31, 2025, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders,
officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company
funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s
working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional
capital, it 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. The Company cannot provide
any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Additionally, if a Business Combination
is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, currently January 16, 2027, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent
dissolution of the Company.
The
Company’s liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the accompanying financial statements are issued. Management
plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or
liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. The Company intends to complete the initial Business
Combination before the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate
any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period.
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
into 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.
Contractual
obligations
We
do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement
with the Sponsor or an affiliate, to pay an aggregate of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative
support. We began incurring these fees on July 14, 2025 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion
of the Business Combination and our liquidation.
The
underwriters have a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 units to
cover over-allotments, if any. On July 16, 2025, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the underwriters fully
exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 Units.

Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures 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 statement, and income and expenses during the periods 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 statement, 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 materially
differ from those estimates. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
Class
A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We
account for our ordinary shares subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability
instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights
that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our
control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary
shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future
events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of
the shareholders’ equity section of our balance sheets.
Net
Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
The
Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Income and losses
are shared pro rata to the shares. Net income (loss) per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number
of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Ordinary Shares is excluded from income (loss)
per Ordinary Share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent
Accounting Standards
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”.
The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided
to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported
measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation
of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate
resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods,
and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and
existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU 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. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07
on January 1, 2025.
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on our financial statements.
