ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our Management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Overview We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on July 31, 2025 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. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt. We may seek to extend the completion window consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Such an amendment would require the approval of our public shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our trust account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq rules currently require special purpose acquisition companies (such as us) to complete their initial business combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-month requirement. If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-month requirement, our securities will likely be subject to a suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq. Results of Operations We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from July 31, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and subsequent to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for an initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial 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, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses. For the period from July 31, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, we had a net loss $69,205, which consisted of formation, general and administrative costs. Liquidity and Capital Resources Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of shares of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, by the sponsor and loans from the sponsor which were repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As of December 31, 2025, we had no cash and working capital deficit of $280,425. 9 Subsequent to the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on January 22, 2026, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 5,000,000 private warrants to the sponsor, at a price of $1.00 per private warrant, or $5,000,000 in the aggregate. On January 26, 2026, we consummated the closing of an additional 2,500,000 Units sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $25,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the over-allotment option on January 26, 2026, we also consummated the sale of an additional 375,000 private warrants to the sponsor at a price of $1.00 per private warrant, generating gross proceeds of $375,000. Following the Initial Public Offering, including the partial over-allotment option, and the sale of the private warrants, a total of $225,000,000 was placed in the trust account. We incurred total transactions costs amounting to $9,571,416, consisting of $3,375,000 of cash underwriting fee, $5,625,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $571,416 of other offering costs. For the period from July 31, 2025 (inception) through December 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $0. Net loss of $69,205 was offset by formation, general and administrative costs paid by our sponsor in exchange for issuance of Class B ordinary shares of $8,000, payment of formation, general and administrative costs through promissory note – related party of $46,705, and changes in accrued expenses of $14,500. 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 initial business combination. To the extent that our share capital 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. 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 an initial business combination. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete an initial business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. In the event that an 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 $1,500,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into private warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per private warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the private warrants. We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating 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 consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such initial business combination. Off-Balance Sheet Financing 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. 10 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. These monthly fees will cease upon the completion of the initial business combination or the liquidation of the Company. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the effective date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On January 26, 2026, the Company consummated the closing of an additional 2,500,000 Units sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The remaining underwriters’ over-allotment option expired on March 6, 2026. The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 1.50% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $3,375,000 in the aggregate, which was paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and during the partial exercise of the over-allotment option. Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 2.50% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $5,625,000 in the aggregate, and is payable to the underwriters based on the total amount of funds remaining in the trust account after redemptions of public shares; provided that the underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to the deferred underwriting commissions if the trust account is less than $70 million on the closing date of the initial business combination. Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies The preparation of the audited financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
