Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April 23, 2024 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 Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, 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.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from April 23, 2024 (inception) through September 30, 2025 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described in Note 1, 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. Subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, we generate non-operatingincome in the form of earnings from investments held in 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 September 30, 2025, we had net income of $1,970,034, which consisted of earnings from investments held in Trust Account of $2,128,162 offset by general and administrative costs of $158,128.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we had net income of $2,297,662, which consisted of earnings from investments held in Trust Account of $3,126,740 offset by general and administrative costs of $647,828 and share-based compensation expense of $181,250.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $14,270 which consisted of general and administrative costs.
For the period from April 23, 2024 (inception) through September 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $38,917 which consisted of general and administrative costs.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
On May 16, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,125,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,625,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $201,250,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 362,500 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $3,625,000.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, a total of $201,250,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $10,727,318, consisting of $1,500,000 of cash underwriting fees (net of $2,000,000 underwriters' reimbursement), $7,568,750 of deferred underwriting fees, and $1,658,568 of other offering costs.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $877,178. Net income of $2,297,662 was affected by payment of operation costs through promissory note of $10,000, earnings from investments held in the Trust Account of $3,126,740, deferred legal fees of $60,016 and compensation expense of $181,250. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,454,990 of cash for operating activities.
For the period from April 23, 2024 (inception) through September 30, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $0. Net loss of $38,917 was affected by formation costs paid by Sponsor in exchange for issuance of Class B ordinary shares of $13,097 and payment of operation costs through promissory note of $20,400. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $5,420 of cash for operating activities.
As of September 30, 2025, our investment in the trust account consisted of money market funds of $204,376,740. We may withdraw earnings 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 earnings earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any), 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 September 30, 2025, we had cash of $0 and $461,395 due from the Sponsor. 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 fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. 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. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units.
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-depthdue 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.
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 204-50,"Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern," we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its financing and acquisition plans. The lack of cash available raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited financial statements are issued. Management plans to address this uncertainty through collection of funds due from the Sponsor and a Business Combination. 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 financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-BalanceSheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balancesheet arrangements as of September 30, 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-balancesheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balancesheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financialassets.
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 the Sponsor an aggregate of $30,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services.
The underwriter was entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account, other than the gross proceeds from the units sold pursuant to the underwriter's option to purchase additional units, and 5.5% of the gross proceeds from the additional units sold pursuant to such option, or $7,568,750 in the aggregate, payable upon the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The deferred underwriting discount will be payable to the underwriter upon the closing of the initial Business Combination in two portions: (i) $0.10 per unit sold in the offering shall be paid to the underwriter in cash and (ii) up to $0.25 per unit sold in the offering (other than the units sold pursuant to the underwriter's option to purchase additional units, which will be up to $0.45 per unit sold pursuant to such option), shall be paid to the underwriter in cash based on the funds remaining in the Trust Account after giving effect to public shares that are redeemed in connection with an initial Business Combination.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed 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 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, the actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of September 30, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,"Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40):Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
On 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 2023-09is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company's management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
The Company's management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards updates, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statement.
