Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on October 16, 2025. We are formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, 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 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.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from October 16, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2026 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, 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-operating income in the form of interest and/or dividend income on marketable securities 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 March 31, 2026, we had a net loss of $64,436, which consisted of general and administrative costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of shares of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, by the Sponsor and loans from the Sponsor which were repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering.
Subsequent to the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on May 18, 2026, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 16,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $160,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 5,200,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, in a private placement to the Company's sponsor, Patriot Acquisition Sponsor LLC, ("Sponsor"), and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. ("KBW"), the representative of the underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $5,200,000.
On May 21, 2026, we closed the issuance and sale of 1,500,000 additional Units in connection with the underwriters partially exercising the over-allotment option. The additional Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $15,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the additional Units, we completed the private placement of an additional 75,000 Private Placement Warrants to KBW at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $75,000.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on May 18, 2026, an amount of $160,800,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units, and a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, were placed in a Trust Account. Following the sale of the additional Units, all of the net proceeds from the sale of additional Units and additional Private Placement Warrants totaling to $15,075,000 have been added in the Trust Account. A total of $175,875,000 of the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering (including the additional Units sold as the result of the underwriters' partial exercise of their over-allotment option) and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were placed in the Trust Account on May 21, 2026.
On the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we incurred total transaction costs of $9,520,840, consisting of $1,920,000 of cash underwriting fee (net of $480,000 underwriters' reimbursement), $6,400,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $1,200,840 of other offering costs. On May 21, 2026, as a result of underwriter's partial exercise of their over-allotment option, additional $825,000 of deferred underwriting fee was incurred.
For the period three months ended March 31, 2026, the net cash used in operating activities was $0. Net loss of $64,436 was affected by the general and administrative costs paid through promissory note - related party of $5,048, changes in prepaid expenses provided $613 and changes in accrued expenses provided $58,775 of cash from operating activities.
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.
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 $1,250,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
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 March 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
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as follows:
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on May 14, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of the Sponsor to pay an aggregate of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support. These monthly fees will cease upon the completion of the initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters have a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 2,400,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any. As of March 31, 2026, the full over-allotment option remains open. Subsequently, on May 21, 2026, the Company closed the issuance and sale of 1,500,000 additional Units in connection with the underwriters partially exercising the over-allotment option. The underwriters have 45 days from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase the remaining 900,000 Units.
The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $2,400,000 upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and simultaneously, the underwriters reimbursed certain of the Company's offering expenses amounting to $480,000. Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account other than those sold pursuant to the underwriters option and 5.5% of the gross proceeds sold pursuant to the underwriter's over-allotment option, $6,400,000 in the aggregate (or up to $7,720,000 in the aggregate if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) payable to the underwriters upon the completion of the Company's initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting 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 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 March 31, 2026, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
