As of June 30, 2026, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $151,378,525 (including approximately $629,000 of interest income) consisting of an investment in a money market fund that invests primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. 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.see in full comparison

This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are not historical facts and involve risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements
of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy
and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,”
“believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar
words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events
or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could
cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking
statements. For information identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated
in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the Company’s final prospectus (the “Final
Prospectus”) for ourits Initial Public Offering (as defined below) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Company’s securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as expressly required by applicable
securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.
We have neither engaged in any operations nor
generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from July 11, 2025 (inception) through MarchJune 31,30, 2026 were organizational activities,
those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after the Initial Public Offering, 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 income on marketable securities held
in a trust account (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 MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we
had a net lossincome of $41,408,$486,081, which consistedconsists of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $628,525, offset by general and administrative expenses.expenses of $142,444.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had a net income of $444,673, which consists of interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $628,525, offset by general and administrative expenses of $183,852.
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.
Subsequent to the quarterly period covered
by this Quarterly Report, onOn May 18, 2026, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 units (the “Units”
and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit,
generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant
(each, a “Public Warrant” and collectively, the “Public Warrants”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the
holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Simultaneously with the
closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Companywe consummated the sale of an aggregate of 5,375,000 warrants in a private
placement (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a
price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $5,375,000.
For the periodsix frommonths Decemberended 31,June 2025 through
March 31,30, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $0.$276,933. Net lossincome of $41,408$444,673 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $628,525, payment of general and administrative
expenses through promissory note –of related$80,112 partyand compensation expense of $5,060.$300. Changes in operating assets and liabilities providedused $36,348$173,493 of cash
from for operating activities.
As of June 30, 2026, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $151,378,525 (including approximately $629,000 of interest income) consisting of an investment in a money market fund that invests primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. 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 June 30, 2026, we had cash of $747,253. 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.
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 areis 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.
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities,
which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of MarchJune 31,30, 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.
The Company granted the Underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On May 18, 2026, the Underwriters informed the Company of its forfeiture of the over-allotment option to purchase the additional 2,250,000 Units.
The underwritersUnderwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $3,000,000 in the aggregate, paid to the Underwriters upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering
(Offering. Additionally, the “Underwriters”) are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of $0.40 per Unit, or $6,000,000 in the aggregate. The
deferred fee will become payable to the Underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes
a Business Combination, but such $0.40 per Unit shall be due to the Underwriters solely on amounts remaining in the Trust Account following
all properly submitted shareholder redemptions, including in connection with the consummation of the initial Business Combination.
Critical Accounting EstimatesPolicies
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 MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
