Financial Statements.”

We are a newly incorporated blank check company incorporated

as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 18, 2025 for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition,

share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this Quarterly

Report as our initial business combination.

We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone

on our behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to an

initial business combination with us.

We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the IPO

and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants and the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial business

combination (pursuant to any the forward purchase agreements, backstop or similar agreements we may enter into following the consummation

of the IPO or otherwise), our shares, debt or a combination of cash, equity and debt.

The issuance of additional ordinary shares in a business

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the IPO, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares;

The issuance of additional ordinary shares in a business combination:

● may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in the Offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares;

● may subordinate the rights of holders of ordinary shares if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our ordinary shares;

● may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A ordinary shares and/or warrants.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise

incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:

● default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an Initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

7 unchanged sentences

● limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

As of September 30, 2025, we had approximately $11,000

of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $107,000 of negative working capital.

Further, we expect to incur significant costs in

the pursuit of our acquisition and financing plans.

We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial business

combination will be successful.

As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $2,344,000 of cash and cash equivalents.

We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our Initial Business Combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

On December 19, 2025, we completed (i) our initial

public offering (the “IPO”) of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), including 3,000,000 Units issued pursuant to the

exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option in full, at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit and (ii) a private placement

of 5,500,000 private placement warrants with Vine Hill Capital Sponsor II LLC at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the “Private Placement”).

The net proceeds from the IPO, together with certain

of the proceeds from the Private Placement, totaling $230,000,000 in the aggregate, were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”)

with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and the underwriter

Except for the withdrawal of interest earned on the amounts in the trust account to fund the Company’s taxes, or upon

the redemption by public shareholders of Class A ordinary shares in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended

and restated memorandum and articles of association, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the completion

of the Company’s initial business combination or the redemption by the Company of 100% of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares

issued by the Company in the IPO if the Company does not consummate an initial business combination within 24 months after the closing

As a result of the full exercise of the underwriters’

over-allotment option, (a) none of the 875,000 (after September 30, 2025 this was increased to 1,000,000 in connection with the upsize

of the IPO) Class B ordinary shares were forfeited resulting in 7,666,667 Class B ordinary shares outstanding at the closing of the IPO

and (b) there was no over-allotment liability to record.

On December 19, 2025, we completed (i) our Offering of 23,000,000 units (the “Units”), including 3,000,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option in full, at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit and (ii) a private placement of 5,500,000 Private Placement Warrants with the Sponsor at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the “Private Placement”).

The net proceeds from the Offering, together with certain of the proceeds from the Private Placement, totaling $230,000,000 in the aggregate, were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and the underwriter of the Offering.

Except for the withdrawal of interest earned on the amounts in the Trust Account to fund the Company’s taxes, or upon the redemption by public shareholders of Class A ordinary shares in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, none of the funds held in the Trust Account will be released until the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination or the redemption by the Company of 100% of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares issued by the Company in the Offering if the Company does not consummate an Initial Business Combination within 24 months after the closing of the Offering.

As a result of the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, (a) none of the 875,000 (after September 30, 2025 this was increased to 1,000,000 in connection with the upsize of the Offering) Class B ordinary shares were forfeited resulting in 7,666,667 Class B ordinary shares outstanding at the closing of the Offering and (b) there was no over-allotment liability to record.

Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated

any revenues to date.

Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the initial

public offering.

Following the IPO, we will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination.

We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest or dividend income on cash and cash equivalents after the initial public

The operating costs incurred in the period from August 18, 2025 (inception) to September 30, 2025 consist of approximately $53,000

of primarily formation costs, accounting and auditing fees associated with our financial reporting.

Since the IPO on December 19, 2025

we are incurring increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance),

as well as for expenses related to efforts to identify and evaluate target businesses and due diligence expenses.

We expect our expenses

to increase substantially since the closing of the IPO.

Certain Risks

and Uncertainties

As a development stage SPAC our risks include, among other things, the uncertainties and potential inability

(i) complete and achieve the expected benefits of the IPO;

(ii) identify, assess, negotiate and complete a proposed acquisition of

a suitable company in connection with our initial business combination;

and (iii) satisfy all conditions necessary to the successful completion

of our initial business combination, including without limitation, shareholder approvals of both parties, redemption of our securities

pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, completion of related transactions customarily expected in

connection with a SPAC sponsored acquisition, and other conditions.

Relatedly, the successful completion of our initial business combination

requires not only the success of our efforts, which cannot be assured, but also the supportiveness of relevant financial markets including

equity markets, debt markets, merger and acquisition markets, capital markets and other markets, none of which can be assured.

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date.

Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Offering.

Following the Offering, we will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our Initial Business Combination.

We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest or dividend income on cash and cash equivalents after the Offering.

The operating costs incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2026 consist of approximately $243,000 of aggregate management compensation (approximately $99,000 of which is deferred as to payment) and Sponsor fees as well as approximately $194,000 of costs primarily associated with professional fees, insurance, listing, trust and regulator fees associated with our status as a public reporting company.

Since the Offering on December 19, 2025 we are incurring increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for expenses related to efforts to identify and evaluate target businesses and due diligence expenses.

We expect our expenses to increase substantially since the closing of the Offering.

Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 totaled approximately $2,052,000 consisting primarily of interest income on the Trust Account.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

As a development stage SPAC our risks include, among other things, the uncertainties and potential inability to:

(i) complete and achieve the expected benefits of the Offering;

(ii) identify, assess, negotiate and complete a proposed acquisition of a suitable company in connection with our Initial Business Combination;

and (iii) satisfy all conditions necessary to the successful completion of our Initial Business Combination, including without limitation, shareholder approvals of both parties, redemption of our securities pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, completion of related transactions customarily expected in connection with a SPAC sponsored acquisition, and other conditions.

Relatedly, the successful completion of our Initial Business Combination requires not only the success of our efforts, which cannot be assured, but also the supportiveness of relevant financial markets including equity markets, debt markets, merger and acquisition markets, capital markets and other markets, none of which can be assured.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity needs have been satisfied through September

30, 2025 through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares and approximately $25,000 drawn down on an up to $300,000 in loans

that were available from our Sponsor under an unsecured promissory note as well as from deferral of certain fees until closing of our

On December 19, 2025 we closed the IPO and the underwriters fully exercised its overallotment option.

In connection with the closing,

the approximately $175,000 drawn down under the unsecured promissory note (including $150,000 borrowed subsequent to September 30, 2025)

was repaid in full.

The net proceeds from the sale of the units in the IPO, including the underwriters’ full exercise of its 3,000,000

unit over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $5,500,000, after deducting

offering expenses of approximately $10,663,000 including $563,000 in Company costs and underwriting commissions and expenses of $4,650,000

(excluding deferred underwriting commissions incurred of $8,050,000) as well as $2,600,000 credit by the underwriters toward expenses,

were approximately $232,900,000, including reimbursement from the underwriters.

$230,000,000 was deposited in the Trust Account, which

includes the deferred underwriting commissions described above.

The funds in the Trust Account will be (i) invested only in cash

government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions

under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest only in direct U.S.

government obligations

and/or (ii) deposited in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a U.S.-chartered commercial bank with consolidated assets

of $100 billion or more.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held

in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of permitted

withdrawals), if any, to complete our initial business combination.

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, we do not expect to have annual income tax obligations on the amount of interest

and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account.

If there were any taxes payable, we would expect to pay them out of

the funds in the Trust Account.

To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial

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.

Prior to the completion of our initial business

combination, our principal use of working capital will be to fund our activities to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business

due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices or similar locations of prospective target businesses or

their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate

and complete a business combination.

We expect our primary liquidity requirements during

that period to include approximately $560,000 for legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses in connection with any business

combinations;

Our liquidity needs have been satisfied through September 30, 2025 through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the Founder Shares and approximately $25,000 drawn down on an up to $300,000 in loans that were available from our Sponsor under an unsecured promissory note as well as from deferral of certain fees until closing of our Offering.

We expect our primary liquidity requirements during that period to include approximately $560,000 for legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses in connection with any business combinations;

$175,000 for legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements;

$180,000 for office space, utilities

and secretarial and administrative support;

$180,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support;

$396,000 for payments to officers;

1 unchanged sentence

and approximately $100,000 for working capital to cover other miscellaneous expenses (including continued listing fees).

These amounts

are estimates and may differ materially from our actual expenses.

In addition, we may pay commitment fees for financing,

fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision

(a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors

on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have

any current intention to do so.

If we entered into an agreement where we paid for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business,

the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of

the specific business combination and the amount of our available funds at the time.

Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result

of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with

respect to, prospective target businesses.

Subsequent to September 30, 2025, in December 2025,

the Company closed on the IPO of its Units and the simultaneous sale of Private Placement Warrants resulting in an increase in its liquidity.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $11,000 and negative working capital of approximately

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update

(“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”,

as of September 30, 2025, management has determined that the Company has sufficient funds for the working capital needs of the Company

until a minimum of one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

The Company cannot assure that its plans to consummate

an initial business combination will be successful.

and directors may, but none of them is obligated to, loan us funds as may be required to fund our working capital requirements.

complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us.

In the event that our initial 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 $2,500,000 of such

loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.

The warrants would be identical to

the Private Placement Warrants issued to our Sponsor.

Except for the foregoing, the terms of such loans by our Sponsor, an affiliate of

our Sponsor or our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor, an affiliate of our Sponsor or our officers and directors, if any,

as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to

funds in our Trust Account.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional

funds following the IPO in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business.

However, if our estimates of the costs

of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the

actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination.

Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated

to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional

securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination.

If we raise additional funds through equity or convertible debt

issuances, our public shareholders may suffer significant dilution and these securities could have rights that rank senior to our Public

If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness would have rights that are senior to our

equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operations.

Further, as described above, due to the anti-dilution rights

of our Founder Shares, our public shareholders may incur material dilution.

In addition, we intend to target businesses with enterprise

values that are greater than we could acquire with the net proceeds of the initial public offering and the sale of the Private Placement

Warrants, and, as a result, if the cash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the Trust Account, net of amounts

needed to satisfy redemptions by public shareholders, we may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial

business combination.

We may also obtain financing prior to the closing of our initial business combination to fund our working capital

needs and transaction costs in connection with our search for and completion of our initial business combination.

There is no limitation

on our ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness

in connection with our initial business combination, any backstop or similar agreements we may enter into following the consummation of

the IPO or otherwise.

Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with

the completion of our business combination.

If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient

funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account.

In addition, following our initial business

combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

These amounts are estimates and may differ materially from our actual expenses.

In addition, we may pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist us with our search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed business combination, although we do not have any current intention to do so.

Our forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of our breach or otherwise) could result in our not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.

In December 2025, the Company closed on the Offering of its Units and the simultaneous sale of Private Placement Warrants resulting in an increase in its liquidity.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $2,344,000.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, as of March 31, 2026, management has determined that the Company has sufficient funds for the working capital needs of the Company until a minimum of one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

We may also obtain financing prior to the closing of our Initial Business Combination to fund our working capital needs and transaction costs in connection with our search for and completion of our Initial Business Combination.
