Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
References to the “Company,” “Wintergreen,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Wintergreen Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with
the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”). Certain information contained in the
discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward- looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current
expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements
are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that
may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,”
“would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the
negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute
to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on April 29, 2024, as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting
a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar
business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our initial
business combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business
combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of this offering
or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to banks or
other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.
On May 30, 2025, we consummated our IPO of 5,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross
proceeds of $50,000,000, and incurring offering costs of $1,308,056. We granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 750,000
Units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments, if any. On May 29, 2025, the over-allotment option was exercised in part, and 595,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit were sold, generating gross proceeds of $5,950,000. Meanwhile, 55,950 ordinary shares were issued to the underwriter at the closing of the IPO as representative
shares, and $559,500 will paid in cash and 55,950 representative shares will be issued as the deferred underwriting commission at
the consummation of a Business Combination.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the closing of the IPO, we consummated a private
placement of an aggregate of 253,875 units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of
$2,538,750.
Following the closing of the IPO on May 30, 2025, an amount of $56,089,875 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and a portion of the proceeds
from the sale of the Placement Units was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”)
and established for the benefit of our public shareholders and the underwriters of
the IPO with Wilmington Trust, National Association acting as trustee.
Currently, we have no revenue, have had losses since inception from incurring formation
and operating costs and have had no operations. We have relied upon the working capital
available to us following the consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement to
fund our operations, as well as the funds loaned by the Sponsor, our officers, directors
or their affiliates. We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit
of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial business combination will be successful.
21
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 our IPO. Following our 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 income on cash and cash equivalents after our IPO.
There has been no significant change in our financial position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements. We expect
that we will incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal,
financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence
expenses in connection with completing a business combination.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a net income of $38,152, which consisted of loss from change in fair value of over-allotment liability of $7,300, income earned on marketable securities held in trust account of $203,822, interest income earned on purchase of time-deposits of $1,400 and operating expenses of $159,770.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded a net income of $113,309, which consisted of loss from change in fair value of over-allotment liability of $7,300, income earned on marketable securities held in trust account of $203,822, interest income earned on purchase of time-deposits of $1,400 and operating expenses of $84,613.
For the period from April 29, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2024, we had not yet commenced operation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $148,844, cash used in investing activities was $56,089,875 and cash provided by financing
activities was $57,199,176. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash of $1,450,158 available for working capital needs and marketable securities held in Trust Account
of $56,293,697. All marketable securities are held in the Trust Account and is generally unavailable for our use, prior to an initial business combination,
and is restricted for use either in a business combination or to redeem the ordinary
shares. As of June 30, 2025, none of the amount on marketable securities in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO, including the marketable
securities held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target business or businesses and
to pay our expenses relating thereto, including deferred underwriting commissions
of $559,500 payable to D. Boral Capital in cash, the representative of the underwriters of the IPO. To the extent that our
share capital is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business
combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other
net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations
of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways
including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development
of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating
expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination
if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover
such expenses.
Over the next 12 months (assuming a business combination is not consummated prior
thereto), we will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account for identifying
and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence
on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar
locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material
agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.
If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating
our initial business combination is more than the actual amount necessary to do so,
or the amount of interest available to us from the Trust Account is less than we expect
as a result of the current interest rate environment, 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 consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our
public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case
we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business
combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only
consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial business
combination. Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient,
we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
22
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash of $1,450,158 in operating bank accounts, working capital of $1,393,432 and a net income of $38,152 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant professional
costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction
costs in pursuit of the consummation of a business combination. In connection with
our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about
an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our management’s plan in addressing this uncertainty is funds loaned from our Sponsor, officers,
directors or their affiliates. In addition, if we are unable to complete a business
combination by August 30, 2026 (or up to May 30, 2027 if extended) (“Combination Period”), our board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby
a formal dissolution of us. There is no assurance that our plans to consummate a business
combination will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management
has determined that such additional conditions also raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statement does not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2025, we have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance
sheet arrangements. 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
As of June 30, 2025, we do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease
obligations or long-term liabilities.
We are obligated to pay the underwriters a deferred underwriting commission equal
to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $559,500, which will be paid to the underwriters in cash from the funds held in the Trust
Account, and 55,950 representative shares, which will be issued at the consummation of a Business Combination.
The founder shares, the Ordinary Shares included in the Private Units, and any Ordinary
Shares that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any underlying
securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights
agreement entered into in connection with the IPO. The holders of these securities
are entitled to make up to two demands, excluding short form demands, that we register
such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion
of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection
with the filing of any such registration statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and
liabilities, each as of the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses
during the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates their estimates
and assumptions, and the effects of any such revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which they are determined to be necessary. Management
bases their estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that they
believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not
readily apparent from other sources. Actual outcomes could differ materially from
those estimates in a manner that could have a material effect on our consolidated
financial statements.
Some of these estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective and involve significant
judgment, making them critical to our reported financial position and results of operations.
23
A critical accounting estimate is one that:
● Involves complex or subjective judgments or estimates about
matters that are inherently uncertain; and
● Could materially affect our financial results if actual results
differ from those estimates.
Management regularly evaluates these estimates based on historical experience, current
conditions, and other factors. However, actual results could differ materially from
those estimates.
The critical accounting estimate determined by the Company is as follows:
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, the methods
used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer
a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement
date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market
approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the
assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These
inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs
are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based
on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs
reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the
asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
●
Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments
and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices
that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities
does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
●
Level 2 - Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets
and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or
similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities,
or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through
correlation or other means.
●
Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the
overall fair value measurement.
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820
approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts reported
in the condensed balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, marketable securities held in trust account, accounts payable and accrued expenses
and due to related parties, each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable
estimate of their fair values because of the short period between the origination
of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of
interest.
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
All of the 5,595,000 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.
24
The Company accounted for its 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) were 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) were classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares
were classified as stockholders’ equity. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classified the ordinary shares
subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are
not solely within the control of the Company.
Given that the 5,595,000 ordinary shares sold as part of the units in the IPO were
issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., rights), the initial carrying value
of ordinary shares classified as temporary equity has been allocated to the 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
over an expected 15-month period, which is the initial period that the Company has to
complete a Business Combination.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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. We adopted ASU 2023-07 since inception.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income
Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax
information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes
paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Our management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact
on our financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement
Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). Under ASU 2024-03, a public entity would be required to disclose information about
purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization,
and depletion for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. ASU
2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. ASU 2024-03 allows for early adoption and requires either prospective adoption
to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of ASU
2024-03 or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial
statements. Our management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have a material impact
on our financial statements and disclosures.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting
pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
