“If the Company is unable to complete the proposed Business Combination, obtain the required financing or otherwise raise sufficient liquidity, it may be required to curtail operations and seek alternative financing arrangements. Accordingly, management has determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date these unaudited condensed financial statements are issued. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.”see in full comparison
“To address this uncertainty, the Company is currently evaluating several options to improve its liquidity position. These include raising additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties.

On June 10, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Ignite Proteomics Holdings, Inc., Ignite Proteomics, LLC and affiliated merger entities pursuant to which the parties agreed to consummate a business combination transaction, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and required approvals. Following completion of the proposed transaction, Ignite and the Company are expected to become wholly owned subsidiaries of a publicly traded parent company. As a result, the Company’s primary business activities are now focused on completing the proposed Business Combination and satisfying the required regulatory, financing and shareholder approval conditions necessary to close the transaction.
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues
to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO and those related
to ouridentifying searchand forevaluating an initial business combination.combination target and, following execution of the Business Combination Agreement on
June 10, 2026, activities associated with pursuing the proposed Business Combination with Ignite Proteomics, LLC, including transaction
execution, regulatory filings, capital raising activities and shareholder approval processes. Following the IPO, 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
and dividend income on the proceeds derived from the IPO, which are held in the Trust Account (defined below). After the IPO, we incur
increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well
as expenses as we conduct due diligence on prospective business combination candidates.
For the three and six months
ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had a net income of $1,288,912,$1,485,641 and $2,774,553 respectively which consisted primarily of dividends earned on marketable
securities held in the Trust Account, partially offset by general and administrative expenses. For the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025, we had a net lossincome of $74,699,$913,544 and $838,845, respectively, which consisted of general and administrative expenses.
On June 10, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement relating to a proposed business combination with Ignite Proteomics, LLC. Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, completion of the proposed transaction is subject to minimum financing requirements. The parties have agreed to seek aggregate transaction financing of at least $22.5 million, including a minimum of $15.0 million to be raised by the Company and at least $7.5 million to be raised by the target. Such financing may include cash remaining in the Trust Account following shareholder redemptions and additional financing arrangements, including convertible notes, an equity line of credit and/or a standby equity purchase agreement. The amount of cash ultimately available at closing will depend on, among other things, the level of shareholder redemptions and the Company’s ability to secure the required financing commitments.
Accordingly, the Company’s liquidity needs are no longer limited to operating expenses associated with identifying a target company, but also include funding transaction costs associated with consummating the proposed Business Combination and satisfying the financing conditions required under the Business Combination Agreement.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026,
the Company had cash of $4,235$3,099 and a working capital
deficit of $320,531.$401,141. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur
significant costs as a publicly traded company, to evaluate
business opportunities, and to close on a Business Combination. Such
costs will be incurred prior to generating any operating revenues.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going
concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements -
Going Concern,” management had
determined that the Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable
period of time, which is
considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the unaudited condensed financial statements. Mandatory liquidation

In addition, the Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, provide additional Working Capital Loans to fund operating activities and transaction costs pending completion of the proposed Business Combination. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding balance under the Working Capital Loan was $441,609.
On June 10, 2026, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Ignite Proteomics Holdings, Inc. and related parties. Completion of the proposed Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions, including minimum financing requirements. The Business Combination Agreement contemplates aggregate financing of at least $22.5 million and, on a best-efforts basis, up to $30.0 million, consisting of cash remaining in the Trust Account following shareholder redemptions and additional financing sources, including convertible notes, an equity line of credit and/or a standby equity purchase agreement. The financing structure contemplates a minimum of $15.0 million to be raised by the Company and at least $7.5 million to be raised by Ignite. The amount of cash available at closing will depend, in part, upon the level of shareholder redemptions and the Company’s ability to obtain the financing required by the Business Combination Agreement. There can be no assurance that these financing requirements will be satisfied or that the proposed Business Combination will be consummated.
If the Company is unable to complete the proposed Business Combination, obtain the required financing or otherwise raise sufficient liquidity, it may be required to curtail operations and seek alternative financing arrangements. Accordingly, management has determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date these unaudited condensed financial statements are issued. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
To address this uncertainty, the Company is currently evaluating several options to improve its liquidity position. These include raising 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, provide working capital loans to the Company in such amounts and on such terms as they may determine in their sole discretion. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such additional financing on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
If the Company is unable to secure additional funding, it may be required to take measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but are not limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential business combination, and reducing overhead expenses.
There is no assurance that
the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a business combination will be successful within the completion window.
The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
The Sponsor paid certain formation, operating or deferred offering costs on behalf of the Company. These amounts are due on demand and non-interest bearing. During the period from November 26, 2024 (inception) through May 2, 2025, the Sponsor paid $276,803 on behalf of the Company, of which $25,000 was paid in exchange for the issuance of Founder Shares and $251,803 was transferred into the Promissory Note. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no amounts were due to the related party.
On May 2, 2025, the $251,803 balance due to the Sponsor was transferred into the Promissory Note. On May 30, 2025, $105,194 of these borrowings were repaid using proceeds not held in the Trust Account, resulting in a balance of $146,609, which was transferred into a Working Capital Loan on June 12, 2025. Following the repayment and transfer, the Promissory Note was settled in full, resulting in no balance as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 or December 31, 2025, and no further borrowings are permitted under its terms.

entered into a Working Capital Loan with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $450,000. The Working Capital Loan

The preparation of
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. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we have not identified
any critical accounting policies or estimates.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
On April 5, 2012, the
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that,
among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging
growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the
effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting
standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of
such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our unaudited condensed financial statements may not be
comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Management does not
believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on
our unaudited condensed financial statements.
