Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected.

Words such as "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "seek" and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management's current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including that the conditions to consummate a business combination are not satisfied. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the Company's Annual Report on Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company's securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.
We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering ("IPO" as defined below), and the private placement of the private placement units, the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial business combination, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, stock 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 an initial business combination will be successful.
Recent Developments
Finder's Engagement Agreement
On March 15, 2026, the Company entered into a non-exclusive Finder's Engagement Agreement (the "Finder Agreement") with California Hedge Fund Inc. (the "Finder"), pursuant to which the Finder agreed to identify and introduce potential business combination targets to the Company and facilitate preliminary discussions in connection with a potential initial business combination. Under the Finder Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Finder a non-refundable retainer and, upon the consummation of an initial business combination with a target introduced or identified by the Finder, a cash success fee. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Finder for certain reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses, subject to specified limitations. The Finder Agreement contains customary termination, confidentiality and other customary provisions.
On May 15, 2026, the Company and the Finder entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Finder Agreement, which increased the aggregate non-refundable retainer payable to the Finder from $250,000 to $500,000, with the remaining $250,000 becoming payable upon execution of the amendment in May 2026. As of May 31, 2026, the $500,000 finder fee was fully paid. Additionally, the cash success fee payable upon the consummation of a qualifying initial business combination was increased from $3.75 million to $4.5 million. Except as modified by Amendment No. 1, the remaining terms of the Finder Agreement remained unchanged.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from August 29, 2025 (inception) through May 31, 2026, were organizational activities and those necessary to consummate the IPO, and subsequent to the IPO, 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 expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in Trust Account after the IPO. We expect to 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 searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.
For the three months ended May 31, 2026, we had net income of $68,355, which consisted of interest income of $658,787, offset by general and administrative expenses of $590,432.
For the nine months ended May 31, 2026, we had net income of $20,684, which consisted of interest income of $658,787, offset by general and administrative expenses of $638,103.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On February 27, 2026, we consummated our IPO of 10,000,000 units (the "Units"), at $10.00 per Unit. In connection with the closing of the IPO, the underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option to purchase 1,197,131 additional Units for an aggregate of 11,197,131 Units sold. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $111,971,310. Simultaneously with the closing of our IPO, we consummated the sale of 208,971 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating total gross proceeds of $2,089,710.
On April 15, 2026, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full to purchase an additional 302,869 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. The closing of the over-allotment option occurred on April 15, 2026, generating additional gross proceeds of $3,028,690. Simultaneously with the closing of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 3,029 Private Units to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $30,285. As a result, the Company sold an aggregate of 11,500,000 Public Units and 212,000 Private Units.
Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement on February 27, 2026 and over-allotment on April 15, 2026, a total of $115,000,000 from the net proceeds of the IPO, the sale of the Private Units and over-allotment was placed in a trust account (the "Trust Account") maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as a trustee and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), and that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO and the private placement, including the funds held in the Trust Account, in connection with our initial business combination and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our capital stock 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.
As of May 31, 2026, we had cash of $2,667 and a working capital deficit of $14,351.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of the consummation of an initial Business Combination. In addition, the Company has until the end of the Combination Period (unless the Company extends such period by amending its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association) to consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the prescribed timeline, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In connection with the Company's 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," the Company has determined that it has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company's plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. Therefore, management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of May 31, 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
Promissory Note - Related Party
On August 31, 2025, the Sponsor has agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 (the "Promissory Note") to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. The Promissory Note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and is due at the earlier of (1) March 31, 2026 or (2) the closing of the IPO, unless accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default. The Promissory Note was repaid upon the closing of the IPO out of the offering proceeds not held in the Trust Account. As of May 31, 2026, the Company had no borrowings under the Promissory Note.
Underwriting Agreement
We granted the underwriter, a 45-day option from the date of the registration statement to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter has fully exercised its over-allotment option following the partial exercises that occurred on February 27, 2026 and April 15, 2026.
The underwriter was paid a cash underwriting discount of $1,150,000, or 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, including the partial exercise of its over-allotment option, upon the closing of IPO on February 27, 2026 and April 15, 2026.
Representative's Shares
We also issued 50,000 ordinary shares (including partial exercise of the over-allotment option) to the underwriter upon the consummation of the IPO. These shares are being registered in the registration statement of which the IPO forms a part. The underwriters have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of the IPO pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), subject to exceptions pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2).
Additionally, the Company will issue to A.G.P. and/or its designee 223,943 ordinary shares upon the closing of an initial business combination of the Company at $10.00 per share, which are referred to herein as the "deferred compensation shares". The representative has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares until 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of this offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), subject to exceptions pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2). In addition, the representative has agreed (i) to waive its redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination and (ii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete its initial business combination within the Combination Period.
The representative and deferred compensation shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of commencement of sales of this offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not be sold during the offering, or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of the public offering, subject to exceptions pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2).
Right of First Refusal
We granted A.G.P., subject to certain conditions, for a period of twelve (12) months following the consummation of the initial business combination, an irrevocable right of first refusal to act as sole investment banker, sole book runner, and/or sole placement agent, at A.G.P.'s sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering, including all equity linked financings for us or any of our successors or subsidiaries, on terms customary to A.G.P. A.G.P. shall have the sole right to determine whether or not any other broker dealer shall have the right to participate in any such offering and the economic terms of any such participation. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(6)(A), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the effective date of the registration statement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of unaudited 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. We have not identified any critical accounting policies and estimates.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("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 August 29, 2025, date of incorporation.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 mostly requires, on an annual basis, disclosure of specific categories in an entity's effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The incremental disclosures may be presented on a prospective or retrospective basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the ASU 2023-09 on December 1, 2025. As a Cayman Island entity, the Company is not subject to income taxes, as such, the Company did not have any material impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on its financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations; Quarterly Results
As of May 31, 2026, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments or contractual obligations.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an "emerging growth company" and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an "emerging growth company," we choose to rely on such exemptions, we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO's compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our initial public offering or until we are no longer an "emerging growth company," whichever is earlier.
