MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April 16, 2024 for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other 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 Warrants, 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.
Recent Developments
On August 6, 2025, the Company, Parataxis Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Pubco"), PTX Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco ("SPAC Merger Sub"), PTX Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco ("Parataxis Merger Sub"), Parataxis Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Parataxis"), the Sponsor, solely for certain limited purposes as representative of the Company shareholders, and Edward Chin, solely for certain limited purposes as representative of the members of Parataxis, entered into a business combination agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement").
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (a) SPAC Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (the "SPAC Merger"), and with each Company shareholder receiving one share of Pubco Class A common stock ("Pubco Class A Stock") for each SPAC Class A Ordinary Share held by such shareholder in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and (b) Parataxis Merger Sub will merge with and into Parataxis, with Parataxis continuing as the surviving entity (the "Parataxis Merger", and together with the SPAC Merger, the "Mergers"), and with members of Parataxis receiving shares of Pubco Class A Stock (other than certain members of Parataxis who will receive shares of Pubco Class C common stock ("Pubco Class C Stock")) in exchange for their units in Parataxis in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. As a result of the Mergers, SPAC and Parataxis will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Pubco, and Pubco will become a publicly traded company, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with applicable law. Prior to the SPAC Merger, the Company will de-register from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to re-domicile as and become a Delaware corporation.
On December 4, 2025, an affiliate of the Company, SBXE closed on its $276 million initial public offering. SBXE is a newly incorporated blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Members of our management team and Founder Group also became officers and directors of SBXE. As a result, members of our management team and Founder Group, could have conflicts of interest in determining whether to present business combination opportunities to us or to any other blank check company with which they may become involved. Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties to one or more other entities pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present business combination opportunity to such entities. Each of our officers owes fiduciary duties to SBXD Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for one or more entities to which he or she has fiduciary, contractual or other obligations or duties, including SBXD, he or she will honor these obligations and duties to present such business combination opportunity to such entities first, and only present it to us if such entities reject the opportunity and he or she determines to present the opportunity to us (including as described above). These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and a potential target business may be presented to another entity prior to its presentation to us. On August 6, 2025, SBXD announced that it had entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Parataxis Holdings, no assurances can be made that the
proposed transaction will be consummated. As a result, if the business combination does not occur, there is a material conflict of interest between SBXE and our company as we and SBXE are both engaged in the business of engaging in business combinations. Other than SBXE, because the other entities to which our officers and directors owe fiduciary duties or contractual obligations are not themselves in the business of engaging in business combinations, we do not believe that the fiduciary, contractual or other obligations duties of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination. In addition, there are no contractual agreements between us, SBXE, our sponsor or our Founder Group regarding allocation of opportunities among us and SBXE. To the extent that our sponsor, our Founder Group or any other entity affiliated with our sponsor becomes aware of a potential acquisition opportunity, such entity has complete discretion, subject to applicable fiduciary duties, as to which blank check company they choose to pursue a business combination. We expect that a determination will be made as to whether us or SBXE would be presented with the opportunity, if at all, based on the circumstances of the particular situation, including but not limited to the relative sizes of the blank check companies compared to the sizes of the targets, the need or desire for additional financings, amount of time required to complete a business combination, and the relevant experience of the directors and officers involved with a particular blank check company.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from April 16, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024 were organizational activities and those activities necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below. 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-operating income in the form of interest income on 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 year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net income $5,715,932, which consisted of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $8,692,532, offset by general and administrative costs of $2,923,600 and Compensation Expense of $53,000.
For the period from April 16, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we had a net income $3,483,171, which consisted of change in fair value of over-allotment option liability of $306,504 and interest earned on investments held in Trust Account of $3,654,638, offset by general and administrative costs of $477,971.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On August 19, 2024, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units at $10.00 per units. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of an aggregate of 455,000 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit, in a private placement to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $4,550,000.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $988,431. Net income of $5,715,932 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $8,692,532 and compensation expense of $53,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $1,935,169 of cash for operating activities.
For the period from April 16, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $446,857. Net income of $3,483,171 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $3,654,638, formation costs paid by Sponsor in exchange for issuance of Class B ordinary shares of $15,524 and change in fair value of over-allotment option liability of $306,504. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $15,590 of cash for operating activities.
As of December 31, 2025, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $213,347,170 (including approximately $12,347,170 of interest income) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. 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 December 31, 2025, we had cash of $20,931. 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 the 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 $2,500,000 of such loans (the "Working Capital Loans") may be convertible into units of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units and the underlying securities would be identical to the private placement units and the underlying securities of such private placement units.
In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, "Going Concern," as of December 31, 2025, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company's officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company's working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
Additionally, if a business combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, currently August 19, 2026, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. The Company's liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation within one year of the issuance of these financial statements raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to address this uncertainty through a business combination. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any business combination by the end of the Combination Period.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2024. 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 the Sponsor a total of $15,000 per month for office space, secretarial, administrative and shared personnel support services.
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $1,700,000 or 0.85% of the gross proceeds of the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, which was paid on August 19, 2024. Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 5.15% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account, $10,300,000 in the aggregate upon the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the 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. The Company has not identified any critical accounting estimates but have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible conversion in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders' deficit. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2024, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders' deficit section of our balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of the redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
Warrant Instruments
We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant's specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity" ("ASC 480"), and ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company's own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require "net cash settlement" in a circumstance outside of the Company's control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at its assigned fair value. Fair value of public warrants at issuance amounted to $286,667.
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 the Company's financial statements.
