Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on December 4, 2025 formed 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"). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") described below and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below), 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.
Homeland Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub I") and Homeland Merger Sub II, LLC ("Merger Sub II) were incorporated in Delaware on July 17, 2026, as our wholly owned subsidiaries. They were formed for the purpose of effectuating the First and Second Merger with Nth Cycle prior to the transactions as contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement (discussed below) to facilitate the consummation of the proposed Business Combination.
Business Combination Agreement
On July 21, 2026 we entered into a Business Combination agreement with Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, Nth Cycle, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Nth Cycle"), and our Sponsor, pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions therein, Merger Sub I will merge with and into Nth Cycle, with Nth Cycle continuing as the surviving company (the "First Merger" and the effective time of such First Merger, the "First Effective Time"); and then Nth Cycle will immediately thereafter merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving company (the "Second Merger"; the First Merger and the Second Merger are referred to as the "Mergers") but will change its name to Nth Cycle, LLC ("the Business Combination Agreement"). The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including our domestication as a Delaware corporation and the Mergers, are referred to herein as the "Business Combination." In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the "Closing"), we will change our name to "Nth Cycle Holdings, Inc." (such company after the Closing, "New Nth Cycle"). After the completion of the Business Combination, New Nth Cycle's common stock is expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "NTH."
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from December 4, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2026 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering 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 cash and marketable securities held in a trust account (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 three months ended June 30, 2026, we had a net loss of $7,622,938, which consists of general and administrative costs of $555,255, a loss on the change in fair value of Private Placement Warrant derivative liabilities of $9,161,334 offset by interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account of $2,093,651.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had a net loss of $8,381,997, which consists of general and administrative costs of $728,147, the fair value of warrant liability in excess of purchase price of Private Placement Warrants of $714,753, a loss on the change in fair value of Private Placement Warrant derivative liabilities of $9,498,443 and transaction costs allocable to the Private Placement Warrant derivative liabilities of $23,338 offset by interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account of $2,582,684.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On March 5, 2026, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 units (the "Units" and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units, the "Public Shares") at $10.00 per Unit, which includes the full exercise of the Underwriters' (as defined below) over-allotment option of 3,000,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 11,533,333 private placement warrants (the "Private Placement Warrants") to the Sponsor at a price of $0.43 per Private Placement Warrant, or $5,000,000 in the aggregate. Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC and Drexel Hamilton, LLC (collectively, the "Underwriters") purchased an aggregate of 3,066,667 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $0.75 per Private Placement Warrant, or $2,300,000 in the aggregate.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $230,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred transaction costs of $14,759,229, consisting of $4,600,000 of cash underwriting fee, $9,200,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $959,229 of other offering costs.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $450,142. Net loss of $8,381,997 was affected by interest earned on cash and marketable securities held in Trust Account of $2,582,684 and offset by the fair value of warrant liability in excess of purchase price of Private Placement Warrants of $714,753, a loss on the change in fair value of Private Placement Warrant derivative liabilities of $9,498,443 and the transaction costs allocable to the Private Placement Warrant of $23,338. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $278,005 of cash from operating activities.
As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $232,582,684 (including approximately $2,582,684 of interest income). 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 June 30, 2026, we had cash of $1,855,444. 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 finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, any of their respective affiliates or certain of the Company's directors and officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required ("Working Capital Loans"). 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. At the lender's discretion, up to $2,000,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants at a price of $0.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2026, there is $200,000 outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.
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 a 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 Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2026. 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 to pay each of the Sponsor and DEHC LLC (each, a "Provider", and collectively, the "Providers") $20,000 per month for administrative and other services. These monthly fees will cease upon (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the liquidation of the Company or (iii) the 18-month anniversary of the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The aggregate payments to each Provider shall not exceed $360,000 and any portion of such amount that has not yet been paid will become immediately due and payable upon the completion of the initial Business Combination.
The Underwriters were entitled to (1) an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,600,000 in the aggregate which was paid in cash at the closing of the Initial Public Offering and (2) a deferred fee of $0.40 per Unit, or $9,200,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the Underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement and will be based on the amount of funds remaining in the Trust Account after shareholder redemptions of Public Shares in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination.
The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any, and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. These holders are entitled to certain demand and "piggyback" registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Placement Agent Agreements
On June 8, 2026 and June 9, 2026, we engaged Cohen & Company Securities, LLC ("CCM") as a placement agent and Drexel Hamilton, LLC ("DH"), as a junior placement agent (the "Placement Agents") in connection with a private placement transaction related to a potential de-SPAC transaction involving a target. Upon the closing of the private placement, we will pay transaction fees to CCM and DH equal to 95% and 5%, respectively, of 3% of the gross proceeds raised in the private placement certain investors as defined in the respective agreements. In addition, we shall reimburse each Placement Agent for out-of-pocket expenses of up to $80,000 upon consummation of the private placement or termination of the agreements. As of June 30, 2026, no private placement had closed, and no amounts were due under these agreements. Accordingly, no liability was recognized in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements 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 unaudited condensed financial statements, 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 unaudited condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We used a third-party valuation expert to determine the fair value of both the Public and Private Placement Warrants at inception and on a quarterly and annual basis for the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, other than the Public and Private Placement Warrants, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
