The net proceeds from our initial public offering and the sale of the private warrants, which was initially $130,142,000, has been reduced significantly due to redemptions by our public shareholders in connection with the first extension meeting, the second extension meeting and the articles amendment meeting and may be further reduced at our meeting to approve our initial business combination. In particular, at the first extension meeting a total of 10,185,471 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed; at the second extension meeting a total of 347,980 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed and at the articles amendment meeting a total of 204,178 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed; at the third extension meeting a total of 1,148,799 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed; at the fourth extension meeting a total of 711,333 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed.

At the time we enter into an agreement for our initial business combination, we will not know how many shareholders may exercise their redemption rights, and we will therefore need to structure the transaction based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. If our initial business combination agreement requires us to use a portion of the cash in the trust account to pay the purchase price or requires us to have a minimum amount of cash at closing, we will need to reserve a portion of the cash in the trust account to meet such requirements or arrange for third party financing. In addition, if a larger number of shares are submitted for redemption than we initially expected, we may need to restructure the transaction to reserve a greater portion of the cash in the trust account or arrange for third party financing. As noted above, the high rates of redemption of shares of public shareholders of SPACs in recent times increases the likelihood that we, too, will have less cash from our trust at the time of our initial business combination, thereby forcing us to rely upon outside financing to supplement our cash reserves. In particular, at the first extension meeting a total of 10,185,471 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed; at the second extension meeting a total of 347,980 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed and at the articles amendment meeting a total of 204,178 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed; at the third extension meeting a total of 1,148,799 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed; at the fourth extension meeting a total of 711,333 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed.

In
response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the United States, the European Union, and several other countries are imposing far-reaching
sanctions and export control restrictions on Russian entities and individuals. This rising conflict and the resulting market volatility
could adversely affect global economic, political and market conditions. Additionally, ongoing conflicts between Israel and Hamas have
continued to cause disruptions in the U.S. and global economy. These and other global and regional conditions may adversely impact our
business and our ability to consummate our initial business combination.

Because
the funds being held outside of the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate for the remainder of the combination period
,period, that could limit the amount available to fund our search for a target business or businesses and complete our initial business combination,
as we will depend on additional loans third parties to fund those activities.
The
funds available to us outside of the trust account are in the view of management insufficient to allow us to operate for the remainder
of the combination period. As of AprilMay 15,31, 2025,2026, approximately $10,000 is available to us outside of the trust account to fund our working
capital requirements. Consequently, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination.
See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital
Resources.”
We
are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, we are required to comply with
certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, timetime-consuming
consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to timetime, and those changes
changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply
with applicable
laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our
ability to negotiate
and complete our initial business combination, and results of operations.
If
we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributionsdistribution received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment
if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, we were unable to pay our debts as they fall
due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders.
Furthermore, our directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad
faith, and thereby exposing themselves and our company to claims, by paying public shareholders from the trust account prior to addressing
the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons. We and our directors and
officers, who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of our share premium account while we were
unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offence and may be liable to a fine
of up to $18,292 and to imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.
Although
we have identified general criteria and guidelines for evaluating prospective target businesses, it is possible that athe target business
with which we enter into our initial business combination will not have all of these positive attributes. If we complete our initial
business combination with a target that does not meet some or all of these guidelines, such combination may not be as successful as a
combination with a business that does meet all of our general criteria and guidelines. In addition, if we announce a prospective business
combination with a target that does not meet our general criteria and guidelines, a greater number of shareholders may exercise their
redemption rights, which may make it difficult for us to meet any closing condition with a target business that requires us to have a
minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash. In addition, if shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or we decide
to obtain shareholder approval for business or other legal reasons, it may be more difficult for us to attain shareholder approval of
our initial business combination if the target business does not meet our general criteria and guidelines. If we are unable to complete
our initial business combination, our public shareholders may receive only approximately $11.12$11.79 per share on the liquidation of our trust
account and our warrants will expire worthless.
Unless
we complete our initial business combination with an affiliated entity, we are not required to obtain an opinion from an independent
investment banking firm, or from another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions,opinions that the price we are paying is
fair to our company from a financial point of view. If no opinion is obtained, our shareholders will be relying on the judgment of our
Board, who will determine fair market value based on standards generally accepted by the financial community. Such standards used will
be disclosed in our tender offer documents or proxy solicitation materials, as applicable, related to our initial business combination.
The
net proceeds from our initial public offering and the sale of the private warrants, which was initially $130,142,000, has been reduced
significantly due to redemptions by our public shareholders in connection with the first extension meeting, the second extension meeting
and the articles amendment meeting and may be further reduced at our meeting to approve our initial business combination. In particular,
at the first extension meeting a total of 10,185,471 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed; at the second extension meeting a total of
347,980 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed and at the articles amendment meeting a total of 204,178 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed;
at the third extension meeting a total of 1,148,799 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed; at the fourth extension meeting a total of
711,333 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed. This resulted in shareholders holding 11,886,428
12,597,761 publicly-held Class A ordinary shares
exercising their right to redeem and as a result, in the aggregate, approximately $126,130,989$134,806,989 was distributed from
our trust account,
with 763,57252,239 publicly-held Class A ordinary shares remaining. As of AprilMay 15,31, 2025,2026, thereapproximately $641,000 remained approximately $9,080,000
in our trust account. Given the significant percentage of our public shareholders that have elected to redeem their shares in connection
with our first extension meeting, our second extension meeting and our article amendment meeting, and may elect to redeem at a meeting
to approve a business combination, thereby reducing our cash resources, we likely will need to secure third party financing in order
to successfully effect such a business combination and there can be no assurance that it will be available to us on terms acceptable
to us or at all.

Our
amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that
shareholders may consider
to be in their best interests. These provisions include two-year director terms and the ability of the Board
to designate the terms of
and issue new series of preference shares, which may make more difficult the removal of management more difficult and may
discourage transactions that
otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.
Our
amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association authorizes the issuance of ordinary shares, including 500,000,000 Class A
ordinary shares, par
value $0.0001 per share, and 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, as well as 5,000,000
preference shares,
par value $0.0001. As of AprilMay 15,31, 2025,2026, there are 496,073,939 and 49,999,999 authorized but unissued Class A ordinary
shares and Class
B ordinary shares, respectively, available for issuance, some of which Class A ordinary shares are reserved for issuance
upon exercise
of issued and outstanding warrants, and upon conversion of the 1 outstanding Class B ordinary share, and 5,000,000 authorized
but unissued
preference shares available for issuance.
The
authorized share capital
under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association also presents the possibility of additional,
substantial dilution.
Under those charter documents, we are authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value
$0.0001 per share, up to
50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and up to 5,000,000 preference shares, par
value $0.0001 per share. As
of AprilMay 15,31, 2025,2026, there are 496,073,939 and 49,999,999 authorized but unissued Class A ordinary shares and
Class B ordinary shares, respectively,
available for issuance, some of which Class A ordinary shares are reserved for issuance upon exercise
of issued and outstanding warrants,
and upon conversion of the 1 outstanding Class B ordinary share. The 1 Class B ordinary share is
convertible into Class A ordinary shares,
initially at a one-for-one ratio, but subject to adjustment as set forth herein and in our
amended and restated memorandum and articles
of association.
Moreover,
because these laws,
regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, their application in practice may evolve over time
as new guidance becomes
available. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs
necessitated by ongoing
revisions to our disclosure and governance practices. If we fail to address and comply with these regulations
and any subsequent changes,
we may be subject to penaltypenalty, and our business may be harmed.

On October 29, 2024, we received a notice from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) stating that because we had not completed an initial business combination within 36 months of the effective date of its registration statement in connection with its initial public offering, we were not in compliance with Nasdaq IM 5101-2 and therefore subject to delisting. Trading in our securities on NASDAQ was suspended at the opening of business on November 5, 2024 and trading of our securities on the OTC market commenced on November 6, 2024, under the symbol CCTSF. The delisting and commencement of trading on OTC does not affect our business combination agreement with Tembo, as both parties continue to work to effectuate the completion of the transaction. The combined company intends to apply for up-listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market in connection with the completion of the business combination.
First extension
We initially had until May 2, 2023, or 18 months from
the closing of the IPO, to consummate our initial business combination. On April 20, 2023, we held the first extension meeting in lieu
of our 2023 annual general meeting. At the first extension meeting our shareholders voted to approve the first extension. At the first
extension meeting 10,185,471 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed, resulting in 2,464,529 publicly-held Class A ordinary shares outstanding.
Accordingly, on May 1, 2023, $106,733,855 was distributed from trust account to the shareholders who redeemed their shares.
In connection with the first extension meeting, we
and our original sponsor entered into the first NRAs with the first non-redeeming shareholders. Pursuant to the first NRAs, the first

by our original sponsor to the first non-redeeming shareholders immediately following, and subject to, consummation of an initial business
combination.
In addition, in connection with the shareholders’
approval of the first extension, we and our original sponsor committed to contribute up to $240,000 to our trust account, consisting of
$40,000 on or before May 2, 2023, and $40,000 on or before the 2nd day of each subsequent calendar month until (but excluding) November

our original sponsor committed, in connection with the shareholders’ approval of the second extension, to contribute to our trust
account, on a monthly basis until November 2, 2024, the lesser of (i) $20,000 and (ii) $0.01 per publicly-held Class A ordinary share
multiplied by the number of publicly-held Class A ordinary shares outstanding. Monthly contributions are to be made on the 15th
day of each calendar month during the second extension period, beginning in November 2023 and until (but not including) November 2024.

second extension period are expected to amount to approximately $19,124 per month, or up to $229,485 in the aggregate. Our original sponsor
contributions will cease on such earlier date on which (a) the Board determines to liquidate the company or (b) a business combination

diligence and receipt by the our board of directors of a fairness opinion from an independent third party. We are advancing activities
towards consummating a Business Combination with Tembo.
Under the terms of the BCA:
The BCA includes governance
provisions, including board representation from both the Tembo and CCTSF sponsor groups and customary lock-up arrangements restricting
the resale of Holdco shares following closing. The transaction is structured to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 351
of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
In connection with the BCA,
key shareholders of both Tembo and CCTSF have entered into Investor Support Agreements, agreeing to vote in favor of the proposed transaction
and to refrain from exercising redemption rights. Additionally, the parties executed lock-up agreements and an Investor Rights Agreement
providing customary registration rights for certain Holdco shareholders.
The closing of the business
combination remains subject to regulatory approvals, including SEC clearance of the Form F-4 registration statement, the completion of
financial audits under PCAOB standards, shareholder approvals, and other customary conditions.
On October 29, 2024, we received a notice from the
staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) stating that because we had not completed an initial
business combination within 36 months of the effective date of its registration statement in connection with its initial public offering,
we were not in compliance with Nasdaq IM 5101-2 and therefore subject to delisting. Trading in our securities on NASDAQ was suspended
at the opening of business on November 5, 2024 and trading of our securities on the OTC market commenced on November 6, 2024, under the
symbol CCTSFF. The delisting and commencement of trading on OTC does not affect our business combination agreement with Tembo, as both
parties continue to work to effectuate the completion of the transaction. The combined company intends to apply for up-listing on the
Nasdaq Stock Market in connection with the completion of the business combination.
Extension of our Combination
Period - Third Extension
On November 1, 2024, we held an extraordinary general
meeting, at which our shareholders voted to approve the Third Extension, which extended the mandatory liquidation date from November 2,
2024 to November 2, 2025. A total of 1,148,799 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed in connection with the Third Extension, resulting
in 3,926,071 Class A ordinary shares outstanding, consisting of 763,572 publicly-held Class A ordinary shares and 3,162,499 founders shares.
Accordingly, on November 13, 2024, $13,389,826 was distributed from the Trust Account to the shareholders who redeemed their shares.
On October 29, 2024, we and ARWM Inc Pte. Ltd. (our
current Sponsor), entered into a non-redemption agreement (NRA) with an unaffiliated third party (the “Non-Redeeming Shareholder”).
Pursuant to the NRA, the Non-Redeeming Shareholder agreed not to redeem (or to validly rescind any redemption requests with respect to)
an aggregate of 500,000 publicly-held Class A ordinary shares of the Company (“Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the
shareholder vote on the Articles Extension Proposal. In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem the Non-Redeemed Shares,
the Sponsor agreed to transfer an aggregate of 125,000 founder shares held by it to the Non-Redeeming Shareholder immediately following,
and subject to, consummation of an initial business combination. To the extent that a business combination does not close by May 2, 2025,
the Sponsor agreed to transfer an additional 25,000 founder shares held by it per month beginning on May 3, 2025 and ending on October
2, 2025 (up to 150,000 founder shares).
On May 19, 2026, we issued an unsecured promissory note to TAG INTL DMCC (‘TAG”), a company incorporated in United Arab Emirates, an unrelated party, with a principal amount of $300,000 (the “Note”). The Note, which was funded on May 26, 2026, and bears interest at 12% per annum, is repayable in full on or prior to May 19, 2027.
On March 25, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured
promissory note to Energi Holding Limited (the “Lender”) , not a related party, with a principal amount up to $600,000 (the
“Note”). The Note is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) November 1, 2024, (b) the date of the consummation of the Company’s
initial business combination or (c) the date of the liquidation of the Company (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”). The
Note bears no interest, however, an establishment fee, a line fee and an exit fee totaling in aggregate 9.0% per annum, are payable on
the Maturity Date.
On March 25, 2024, the Lender advanced $600,000 to
the Company under the Note. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by the Maturity Date, the Note will be
repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.
We signed a Note extension with the lender to extend
the Maturity Date from November 1, 2024 to November 2, 2025. All other terms of the Note remain unchanged by the Note extension.
We have not generated any operating revenues to date. Since inception, our activities have been limited to organizational activities, the completion of our initial public offering, and identifying and evaluating prospective target businesses for an initial business combination. Following our initial public offering, our activities have primarily consisted of pursuing and advancing our proposed business combination with Tembo e-LV B.V. (“Tembo”), including transaction due diligence, legal and regulatory matters, preparation of the Form F-4 registration statement, and compliance with our public company reporting obligations. We do not expect to generate operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination.
Non-operating income consists primarily of interest income, dividend income and realized gains earned on investments held in the Trust Account. Operating expenses consist primarily of legal, accounting, audit, regulatory compliance, insurance and other professional fees associated with operating as a public company and pursuing our proposed business combination.
There has been no significant change in our financial position since December 31, 2025, other than the matters described in Note 11, “Subsequent Events,” to the accompanying financial statements.
Year Ended December 31, 2025 Compared with the Year Ended December 31, 2024
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we reported a net loss of $559,000, compared with a net loss of $1,312,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease of $753,000 was primarily attributable to lower operating expenses and lower financing costs, partially offset by reduced interest income earned on investments held in the Trust Account.
Interest income, dividend income and realized gains on investments held in the Trust Account totaled $337,000 during 2025, compared with $1,016,000 during 2024. The decrease of $679,000, or 67%, was primarily attributable to a significant reduction in funds held in the Trust Account following shareholder redemptions approved in connection with extension meetings held during late 2024 and late 2025.
Operating expenses were $753,000 during 2025, compared with $2,024,000 during 2024, a decrease of $1,312,000, or 63%. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower professional fees associated with the proposed Tembo business combination and preparation of the Form F-4 registration statement, together with reduced legal and transaction-related activities compared with the prior year.
Financial expenses totaled $144,000 during 2025, compared with $304,000 during 2024, a decrease of $160,000, or 53%. Financial expenses in both periods primarily consisted of interest expense accrued on sponsor loans and promissory notes. The decrease during 2025 was primarily due to the inclusion during 2024 of $246,000 of value consideration associated with the Energi Holding Limited promissory note.
We have not engaged in any
revenue-generating operations to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, preparations for our initial
public offering, and, subsequent to our initial public offering, searching for, and due diligence related to, potential target companies
with which to consummate a business combination transaction. We have not and we will not generate any operating revenues until after completion
of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on funds held in our trust account
after our initial public offering. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change
has occurred since the December 31, 2024 date of our audited financial statements contained in this Annual Report, other than as reflected
in the subsequent events note of the financial statements. After our initial public offering, which was consummated in November 2021,
we have been incurring increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing
compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses related to our search for a target company.
For the
year ended December 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $1,312 thousand, which consisted of $1,016 thousand of interest income and
dividend income and realized gains on marketable securities held in our trust account, less operating and financial expenses of
$2,328 thousand.
For the year ended December
31, 2023, we had net income of $1,564 thousand, which consisted of $2,704 thousand of interest income and dividend income and realized gains
on marketable securities held in our trust account, less operating expenses of $1,140 thousand.
Our
liquidity needs to date
have been satisfied through loans from the sponsors and a third-party promissory notenotes to cover certain operating
expenses.
OnAs
noted above under Recent Developments, on May 17,19, 2024,2026, we issued
an unsecured promissory note to ourTAG, thirdan sponsor,unrelated ARWMparty, Incwith Pte.a Ltd.principal
amount of $300,000 (the “LenderNote”). The Note was funded on May 26, 2026.
The Note has a maturity date
of June 30, 2025. The balance due the Lender as of December 31, 2024 was $689,000. If we do not consummate an Initial Business Combination
by the maturity date the Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise
forgiven.
On March 25, 2024, we issued
an unsecured promissory note to Energi Holding Limited (the “Lender”) , not a related party, with a principal amount of $600,000
(the “Note”). The Note has a maturity date of November 2, 2025. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination
by the maturity date, the Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise
forgiven.
As
of AprilJune 15,30 2025,2026, 2026, approximately
$10,000 is$130,000 was available to us outside of the trust account to fund our working capital requirements.
Because of the anticipated costs of
identifyingto acomplete target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initialthe business combination,combination aswith noted above,Tembo, we
have requested $1,000,000$600,000 of additional loans from
several third parties.parties, $300,000 of which was received on May 26, 2026 per a promissory note dated May 19, 2026 with TAG. While, if obtained,
we anticipate that these loans will suffice
for the period leading up to our initial business combination, there can be no assurance
that the loans will be obtained and, if they
are, that the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence
and negotiating and consummating an initial business
combination may be greater than what we currently estimate would be needed to do
so. Consequently, we may have insufficient funds available
to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. If we are
unable to complete our initial business combination because
we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease
operations and liquidate our trust account. That required
liquidation date would be less than 12 months after the date of this Annual
Report. That, among other factors, raises substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. See “Item 1 -
Risk Factors – Risks Relating to our Search for, and Consummation
of or Inability to Consummate, a Business Combination - Because
the funds being held outside of the trust account are insufficient to
allow us to operate for the remainder of the combination period , period,
that could limit the amount available to fund our search for a target
business or businesses and complete our initial business combination,
as we will depend on additional loans third parties to fund those
activities.”
