Overview
We are a shell company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 18, 2020, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business opportunity with one or more businesses or entities (collectively, a "business opportunity"). Our efforts to identify a prospective business opportunity will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location, although we are currently focusing our search for a business opportunity in the consumer products industry. We intend to effectuate a business opportunity using cash, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
The issuance of additional shares of our stock in a transaction:
| ● | may significantly reduce the equity interest of our stockholders; |
| ● | may subordinate the rights of holders of shares of common stock if we issue shares of preferred stock with rights senior to those afforded to our shares of common stock; |
| ● | will likely cause a change in control if a substantial number of our shares of common stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and most likely will also result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; and |
| ● | may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities. |
Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:
| ● | default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after a transaction are insufficient to pay our debt obligations; |
| ● | acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we have made all principal and interest payments when due if the debt security contains covenants that required the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves and we breach any such covenant without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant; |
| ● | our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; and |
| ● | our inability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain additional financing while such security is outstanding. |
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities through September 30, 2025, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and searching for a business opportunity with which to complete a transaction. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a transaction. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $37,249 and $117,917, respectively, which consists of interest income of $11,753 and $34,066, respectively, offset by general and administrative expenses of $45,352 and $141,273, respectively, franchise tax expense of $1,500 and $4,500, respectively, and provision for income taxes of $2,150 and $6,210, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $45,555 and $151,294, respectively, which consists of interest income of $14,480 and $42,075, respectively, offset by general and administrative expenses of $50,395 and $148,092, respectively, franchise tax expense of $8,000 and $23,286, respectively, and provision for income taxes of $1,640 and $21,991, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a transaction, the remaining cash will be used as working capital to finance operations, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,081,829. We intend to use these funds primarily to identify and evaluate potential business opportunities, perform business due diligence on prospective business opportunities, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations associated with prospective business opportunities, review corporate documents and material agreements related to business opportunities, and structure, negotiate and complete a transaction.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $31,957. Net loss of $117,917 was affected by net increase of changes in operating assets and liabilities of $85,960.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $57,665. Net loss of $151,294 was affected by net increase of changes in operating assets and liabilities of $208,959.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business opportunity, 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 transaction, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a transaction does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the Private Warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, at the option of the lender.
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 business opportunity, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a transaction are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to a transaction. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing to complete a transaction, in which case we may issue additional equity securities or incur debt in connection with such transaction. In addition, following a transaction, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2025.
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 an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. We began incurring these fees on September 24, 2020, and will continue to incur these fees monthly for the foreseeable future.
On August 22, 2022, UBS agreed to waive its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commission of $4,593,750 to which it became entitled upon completion of the Company's Initial Public Offering, subject to the consummation of a transaction. Thereafter, on December 27, 2022, in accordance with the provisions of its charter, the Company announced the completion of the redemption of its outstanding shares of Class A convertible common stock subject to redemption (the "Class A IPO Shares"), which resulted in the forfeiture of the remaining $1,531,250 of deferred underwriting fees. Following the completion of the redemption of the Class A IPO Shares, the IPO Trust Account was terminated in complete liquidation of the assets held in trust, and the relevant provisions of the Company's charter, including with respect to any business combination and the IPO Trust Account, were extinguished and are of no further legal force and effect. As a result, the Company derecognized the entire deferred underwriting fee payable of $6,125,000 and recorded $5,815,688 of the forgiveness of the deferred underwriting fee allocated to Public Shares to accumulated earnings (deficit) and the remaining balance of $309,312 was as a gain from extinguishment of liability allocated to warrant liabilities. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the deferred underwriting fee payable is $0.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures 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 financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates during the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
We have identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates:
Warrant Liability
We account for the warrants issued in connection with our IPO in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. The Company's accounting policy and estimate surrounding the warrant liability is deemed to be critical since it is an equity linked instrument, and the accounting pronouncement that determines the initial classification at issuance is considered a complex topic. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. Any changes in the value could have a significant impact on the results of operations.
