As a smaller reporting company
under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. For
detailed descriptions of the risks
relating to our Company, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our IPO Registration Statement and our 2026 First
Statement.Quarter Form 10-Q. As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors,
other than as set forth below.factors. Any of these
previously disclosed risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse
effect on our results of operations or financial
condition. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial
may also affect our ability to consummate
an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional
risk factors from time to time in
our future filings with the SEC.
There is substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a “going concern.”
In connection with our assessment
of going concern considerations under applicable accounting standards, Management has determined that our possible need for additional
financing to enable us negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, as well as the deadline by which we may be required to
liquidate our Trust Account, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through approximately one year from
the date the unaudited financial statements included in Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Report were issued.
We have identified a material weakness in
our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026. If we are unable to maintain an effective system of internal control
over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect
investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.
We have identified a material
weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026 relating to inadequate segregation of duties within account
processes due to limited personnel and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, information technology, financial
reporting and record keeping as of March 31, 2026. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial
statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Effective internal controls
are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. Measures to remediate material weaknesses may be time-consuming
and costly and there is no assurance that such initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. If we are unable to maintain an
effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely
manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. If
we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent
or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial
statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic
reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and adversely
affect our business and operating results. We cannot assure our shareholders that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures
we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.
Our
search for an initial Business Combination, and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination,
may be materially adversely affected by current global geopolitical conditions and armed conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and in the
Middle East between United States, Israel and Iran and others, as well as by other events that are outside of our control.
Our
ability to find a potential target business and the business of any company with which we may consummate a Business Combination could
be materially and adversely affected by events that are outside of our control. For example, United States and global markets have experienced
and may continue to experience volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine
conflict and the recent conflict in the Middle East and Southwest Asia between the United States, Israel and Iran and others. Recent hostilities
between the United States, Israel and Iran and others have caused significant disruption in the normal flow of oil, refined petroleum
products and related commodities, with consequent price rises and associated economic volatility. In response to such conflicts, the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United
Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related
individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication
(SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or
other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, or have undertaken or will undertake military strikes in locations related to the conflicts,
including but not limited to Iran, and there have been retaliatory military responses, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number
of nations.
The
invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle
East and Southwest Asia and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States,
the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that
could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts and geopolitical
turmoil are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit
and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions, changes in consumer or producer purchasing behavior and increased cyber-attacks
against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead
to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.
Similarly,
other events outside of our control, including natural disasters, climate-related events and pandemic or health crises (such as the COVID-19
pandemic) may arise from time to time, and any such events may cause significant volatility and declines in the global markets and have
disproportionate impacts to certain industries or sectors and disruptions to commerce (including economic activity, travel and supply
chain), and may adversely affect the global economy or capital markets.
Any
of the abovementioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting
from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the escalation of the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle
East and Southwest Asia and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect our search for an initial Business Combination
and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.
The
extent and duration of the ongoing conflicts, resulting sanctions and any related market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could
be substantial, particularly if current or new sanctions continue for an extended period of time, if geopolitical tensions result in expanded
military operations on a global scale or if there are disruptions in the supply of oil or other commodities.
Any
such disruptions may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this Item. If these disruptions or other
matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination, or the
operations of a target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected.
In addition, our ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity or debt financing, which may be impacted
by these and other events, including as a result of increased market volatility or decreased availability of third-party financing on
acceptable terms or at all.
Military
or other conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others and other in the Middle East and Southwest Asia or
other armed hostilities may lead to increased volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect the operations or
financial condition of potential target companies, which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination.
Military
or other conflicts in Ukraine, between the United States, Israel and Iran and others in the Middle East, and Southwest Asia or other armed
hostilities may lead to increased volume and price volatility for publicly traded securities, or affect the operations or financial condition
of potential target companies, and to other company or industry-specific, national, regional or international economic disruptions and
economic uncertainty, any of which could make it more difficult for us to identify a Business Combination target and consummate an initial
Business Combination on acceptable commercial terms, or at all.
We may seek to extend the Combination Period,
which could reduce the amount held in our Trust Account and have adverse effects on our Company.
If we are unable to consummate
our initial Business Combination on or before February 20, 2028 (or May 20, 2028 if we have a definitive agreement for an initial Business
Combination by February 20, 2028), we may seek shareholder approval to extend the Combination Period by amending our Amended and Restated
Articles. In such event, our Public Shareholders will be provided the opportunity to have all or a portion of their Public Shares redeemed.
Any redemptions will reduce the amount held in our Trust Account, the effect of which may adversely affect our ability to consummate our
initial Business Combination and may also impair our ability to maintain our Nasdaq listing.

Following the Initial Public

As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had
marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $284,847,198$287,367,170 (including approximately $987,118$3,507,090 of interest income). We may withdraw
interest from the Trust Account to pay Permitted Withdrawals. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account,
including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of any Permitted Withdrawals and
exclude the Deferred Fee), 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.
To mitigate the risk that
we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold
investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time, (based on our Management Team’s ongoing assessment of all factors related
to our potential status under the Investment Company Act) instruct the trusteeContinental to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account
and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had
cash held outside of the Trust Account of $396,057.$339,276. We 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.
Our liquidity needs through
March 31, 2026 have been satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our Founder
Shares, (ii) a loan pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note, and (iii) the proceeds from the consummation of the and Private Placement held
outside of the Trust Account.
In order to fund working
capital capital
deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and
directors directors
or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If we complete a Business
Combination, Combination,
we intend to repay such Working Capital Loans. 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 Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account will
be used for such
repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into private placement-equivalent units
of the post-Business
Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. Such units (and underlying securities) would be identical to the
Private Placement Units
(and underlying securities). As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no amount outstanding under
the Working Capital Loans.
In connection with our assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASU Topic 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” codified in FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going
Concern”, Management has determined that we currently lack the liquidity we need to sustain operations for a reasonable period of
time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the unaudited financial statements included in this Report under
Item 1. “Financial Statements”. are issued as we expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition
plans. In addition, Management has determined that if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination
Period, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern. Management plans to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to the mandatoryend liquidationof date.the Combination Period.
No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after February 20, 2028
(or May 20, 2028 if we have a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination by February 20, 2028).
Commencing
on February 18,
2026, and until the completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we reimburse the Sponsor $10,000 per month
for office space,
utilities, and secretarial and administrative support pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. For the three and six months
months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we incurred $13,215$30,000 and $43,215 in fees for these services, respectively, which amount is included in accrued expenses
in the unaudited
balance sheet of the unaudited financial statements included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”.
The
preparation of the unaudited
financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”
in conformity with GAAP
requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
income and expenses,
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in our unaudited financial statements. These accounting
estimates require the
use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. Management bases
its estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis
for making judgments, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the extent actual experience differs
from the assumptions
used, our unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial
Statements” could
be materially affected. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
