As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include risk factors in this Annual Report. However, below is a partial list of material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on the Company and its operations:
We were incorporated in 2018
under the laws of the Cayman Islands and are a blank check company with no operating history. Because we lack an operating history, you
have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective of completing our initial business combination with
one or more target businesses. We have entered into the Merger Agreement for the Proposed GRT Business Combination. However, this transaction is still subject to certain closing conditions and we may not be able to complete it or if failed, anotheran initial business combination. If we fail to complete our initial business
combination, we will never generate any operating revenues.
Furthermore, although we
currently do not have any People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) subsidiary or China operations, the majority of our
executive executive
officers and directors are located in, or have significant ties to, PRC, which may make us a less attractive partner to
potential target
companies outside the PRC than a non-PRC or non-Hong Kong based SPAC, which may therefore make it harder for us to
complete an initial
business combination with a target company that is non-PRC or non-Hong Kong based and which may therefore make
it more likely for us to
consummate a business combination with a target company located in the PRC or Hong Kong.
We have entered into the Merger Agreement for the Proposed GRT Business Combination. However, the closing of this transaction is subject to various conditions and is still uncertain. If we fail to complete the Proposed GRT Business Combination, we may not be able to select another target business or complete our initial business combination within the Prescribed Time Frame, as extended. If we have not completed our initial business combination within the required time period, our public shareholders may receive only the redemption price held in the trust account on pro-rata basis, which is initially approximately $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, on the liquidation of our trust account and our rights will expire worthless.
We will consider a business combination outside of our management’s areas of expertise if a business combination candidate is presented to us and we determine that such candidate offers an attractive acquisition opportunity for our company. In the event we elect to pursue an acquisition outside of the areas of our management’s expertise, our management’s expertise may not be directly applicable to its evaluation or operation, and the information contained in this Annual Report regarding the areas of our management’s expertise would not be relevant to an understanding of the business that we elect to acquire. As a result, our management may not be able to adequately ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors, including with respect to the Proposed GRT Business Combination.factors.
As of December 31, 2024,
2025, we had working capital
deficit of $539,737,$1,438,801, which indicated a lack of liquidity we needed to sustain operations
for a reasonable period of time, which was considered
to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. Further, we
have incurred and expectsexpect to continue to incur significant
costs as a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting, and
auditing compliance), as well as expenses in connection with
our Proposedinitial Businessbusiness GRT Combination.combination. We cannot assure you that any efforts
to raise capital (if required) or to consummate an initial
business combination (including the Proposed GRT Business Combination) will be successful. WeThe havecurrent until 15 months from the closing of
the Initial Public Offeringdeadline to
consummate a Businessbusiness Combinationcombination (subjectis June 20, 2026; however, the Company has called an Extraordinary General Meeting for June 11,
2026 at which shareholders will vote on a proposal to nineextend this deadline for up to twelve (912) additional one-month
periods extensionto periods).June 20, 2027. There can be no assurance that the proposal to extend the period within which we must consummate an initial business combination will be approved or that a business combination will
be consummated within any extended period. If the Extension Proposal is not approved and we do not complete
consummate a Businessbusiness Combinationcombination
by withinJune such20, time period,2026, under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association we must cease all
operations, redeem the
outstanding public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve. There is a possibility that business combination
might not happen within the prescribed period of time. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue
as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report do not include any
adjustments that might result
from our inability to continue as a going concern.
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
As a newly public company, SEC rules provide that we are not required to include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal
control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K. Our management is,is however,also required to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures on
a quarterly basis. InWe our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and in this
Annual Report, wehave reported that our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to
the existence
of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting relating to (1) inadequate segregation of duties
within account
processes due to limited personnel, and (2) insufficient written policies and procedure for accounting, IT, financial reporting
and record
keeping. Therefore, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared
in accordance
with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, our management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report present
fairly in all
material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. See “Part
II, Item 9A:
Controls and Procedures” included in this Annual Report.
Unlike other blank check
companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the
public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, our sponsor, officers and directors have agreed (and their permitted
transferees will agree), pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement entered into with us, to vote any founder shares and private placement
shares held by them, as well as any public shares purchased during or after the IPO, in favor of our initial business combination. We
expect that our sponsor and its permitted transferees will own approximately 22.15%39% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares at the
time of any such shareholder vote. As a result, in addition to our initial shareholder’s founder shares, we would need only 2,468,501, 549,759,
or approximately 35.77%,18%, of the 6,900,0003,062,517 currently outstanding public shares sold in the IPO to be voted in favor of a transaction (assuming all outstanding
shares are voted) in order to have our initial business combination approved. Accordingly, if we seek shareholder approval of our initial
business combination, it is more likely that the necessary shareholder approval will be received than would be the case if such persons
agreed to vote their founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our public shareholders.
OurUnder sponsor,our officers,current Amended
and Restated Memorandum and
directors haveArticles agreedof thatAssociation, we have 12a monthstotal orof 1524 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 21 months or 24 months from the closing
of the IPO if we
extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) to complete our initial business combination. We may,
by resolution of our board of directors if requested by our sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up
to nine (9) times, each by an additional one month (for a total of up to 24 months to complete a business combination),combination, subject to the deposit
deposit of additional funds into the trust account by our sponsor or its affiliates or designees as set out elsewhere in this Annual Report,
subject to amendment from time to time. Our shareholders will not be entitled to vote or redeem their shares in connection with any
such such
extension. In order for the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination to be extended, our sponsors
or their
affiliates or designees must deposit into the trust account. Any such payments would be made in the form of a
non-interest-bearing loan from our sponsor or its affiliates or designees and would be repaid, if at all, from funds released to us
upon completion of our initial business combination. The obligation to repay any such loans may reduce the amount available to us to
pay as purchase price in our initial business combination, and/or may reduce the amount of funds available to the combined company
following the initial business combination.
Any such payments would be made in the form of a non-interest-bearing loan from our sponsor or its affiliates or designees and would be repaid, if at all, from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. The obligation to repay any such loans may reduce the amount available to us to pay as purchase price in our initial business combination, and/or may reduce the amount of funds available to the combined company following the initial business combination.
At the time of your investment
in us, you will not be provided with an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of one or more target businesses. Since our
board of directors may complete a business combination without seeking shareholder approval, public shareholders may not have the right
or opportunity to vote on the business combination, unless we seek such shareholder approval. Accordingly, if we do not seek shareholder
approval, your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination may be limited to exercising
your redemption rights within the period of time (which will be at least 20 business days) set forth in documents mailed to our public
shareholders in which we describe our initial business combination. We currently plan to hold an extraordinary general meeting and seek shareholder approval in connection with the Proposed GRT Business Combination.
We may seek to enter into a business combination transaction agreement
with a prospective target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash, as is the
case with the Proposed GRT Business Combination.cash. If too many public shareholders exercise their redemption rights, we would not be able
to meet such closing condition unless we were able to arrange for adequate financing in a separate transaction. As a result of the foregoing,
we may not be able to proceed with the business combination. Furthermore, in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that
would cause our net tangible assets, after payment of the deferred underwriting commissions, to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation
of our initial business combination (so that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules) or any greater net
tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial business combination. Consequently,
if accepting all properly submitted redemption requests would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation
of our initial business combination or such greater amount necessary to satisfy a closing condition as described above, we would not proceed
with such redemption and the related business combination and may instead search for an alternate business combination. Prospective targets
will be aware of these risks and, thus, may be reluctant to enter into a business combination transaction with us.
WeUnder haveour current Amended
and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, we initially had 15 months from the closing of our IPO to complete thean Proposedinitial business
GRTcombination. BusinessFurther, Combination. Ifif we cannotwere unable to close thean Proposedinitial GRTbusiness Business Combinationcombination by such date, our Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association provides that our sponsor may request that we extend
the latest time for completion of initial business
combination up to 9 times, each by an additional one month, subject to our sponsor
depositing additional funds into the trust
account (the “Extension of Time Request.”)
If our sponsor does not further
extend the deadline for completing of an initial business combination by depositing the requisite amount in the trust account as stipulated
or if we have not completed our initial business combination (including the Proposed GRT Business Combination) within the deadline, as extended, we will: (i) cease all operations except
for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public
shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest
(which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of
then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders
(including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably
possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve,
subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable
law. In such case, our public shareholders may only receive the cash held in the trust account and our rights will also expire worthless.
Of the net proceeds of the
IPO and the sale of the private placement units and after payment of estimated offering expenses, only approximately $500,000 was available
available to us initially outside the trust account to fund our working capital requirements. On August 30, 2024, we issued an
unsecured promissory
note (the “2024 Note”) in the principal amount of up to $1,000,000 to our Sponsor pursuant to which
we may borrow funds. The
2024 Note bears no interest and iswas due on the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2025 or (ii) the date on which we consummate our initial business
combination. On August 21, 2025, Flag Ship and the Sponsor agreed to amend and restate the 2024 Note to increase the maximum principal
amount from $1,000,000 to $1,200,000 and on January 28, 2026, Flag Ship and the Sponsor agreed to further amend and restate the 2024 Note
to raise the principal balance to $2,000,000 and extend the maturity date thereof to be the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2026 or (ii)
the date on which we consummate our initial business combination. As of December 31, 2024,2025, there was $677,851$1,446,751 outstanding under the
2024 Note. If we
are required to seek additional capital, we would need to borrow additional funds from our sponsor, management team or
other third
parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Neither our sponsor, members of our management team nor any of their affiliates
is is
under any obligation to advance funds to us in such circumstances. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the
the trust account or from funds released to us upon completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial
initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and
liquidate the
trust account. Consequently, our public shareholders may only receive the funds in trust account on our redemption of
our public shares,
and our rights will expire worthless. In certain circumstances, our public shareholders may receive less than
such redemption price.
Even if we conduct extensive due diligence on a target business with which we combine, we cannot assure you that this diligence will surface all material issues that may be present inside a particular target business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of the target business and outside of our control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, we may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to violate net worth or other covenants to which we may be subject as a result of assuming pre-existing debt held by a target business or by virtue of our obtaining post-combination debt financing. Accordingly, any shareholders who choose to remain shareholders following the business combination (including the Proposed GRT Business Combination) could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.
On January 24, 2024,
the SEC adopted the 2024 SPAC Rules requiring, among other matters, (i) additional disclosures relating to SPAC business combination transactions;
(ii) additional disclosures relating to dilution and to conflicts of interest involving sponsors and their affiliates in both SPAC initial
public offerings and business combination transactions; (iii) additional disclosures regarding projections included in SEC filings in
connection with proposed business combination transactions; and (iv) the requirement that both the SPAC and its target company be
co-registrants for thean Proposedinitial GRTbusiness Businesscombination Combination registration statements.transaction. In addition, the SEC’s adopting release provided guidance describing
circumstances in which a SPAC could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including its duration, asset composition,
business purpose, and the activities of the SPAC and its management team in furtherance of such goals. Compliance with the 2024 SPAC Rules
and related guidance may (i) increase the costs of and the time needed to negotiate and complete an initial business combination (including the Proposed GRT Business Combination) and (ii)
constrain the circumstances under which we could affect our ability to complete an initial business combination (including the Proposed GRT Business Combination.)combination.
We may not hold an annual meeting of shareholders until after the consummation of our initial business combination.
In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until no later than one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. In connection with completion of any business combination (including the Proposed GRT Business Combination), we would expect to hold a special meeting of shareholders to obtain consent of our shareholders. There is no requirement under the Companies Act for us to hold annual or general meetings or elect directors. Until we hold an annual meeting of shareholders, public shareholders may not be afforded the opportunity to discuss company affairs with management.
If we enter into a definitive
agreement for a business combination, including the Merger Agreement with GRT, in which we will not be the surviving entity, the definitive
agreement will provide for the holders
of rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the ordinary shares will receive
in the transaction on an as-converted
into ordinary share basis, and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert
his, her or its rights in order to receive
the 1/10 share underlying each right (without paying any additional consideration) upon consummation
of the business combination. More
specifically, the right holder will be required to indicate his, her or its election to convert the
rights into underlying shares as well
as to return the original rights certificates to us. In the event that we are not the surviving
entity upon the consummation of our initial
business combination, and there is no effective registration statement for the offering of
the shares underlying the rights, the rights
may expire worthless.
We anticipate that the investigation
of each specific target business and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments
will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for accountants, attorneys and others. If we decide not to
complete a specific initial business combination, the costs incurred up to that point for the proposed transaction likely would not be
recoverable. Furthermore, if we reach an agreement relating to a specific target business, includingwe the Merger Agreement with GRT, we
may fail to complete our initial business
combination for any number of reasons including those beyond our control. Any such event will
result in a loss to us of the related costs
incurred which could materially adversely affect subsequent attempts to locate and acquire
or merge with another business.
As of December 31, 2024, 2025,
we had approximately $70.8$33.08 million held in trustthe accountTrust Account (including deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $1.725 million
and before fees and expenses associated with our initial business combination).
Our amended and restated
memorandum and articles of association does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that in no event will we redeem
our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets, after payment of the deferred underwriting commissions, to be
less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of our initial business combination (such that we are not subject to the SEC’s “penny
stock” rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to our initial
business combination. As a result, we may be able to complete our initial business combination, including the Proposed GRT Business Combination,
even if a substantial majority of our public shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or, if we seek
shareholder approval of our initial business combination and do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination
pursuant to the tender offer rules, have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our sponsor, officers, directors,
advisors or their affiliates. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all ordinary shares that are
validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the proposed business combination
exceed the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we will not complete the business combination or redeem any shares, all ordinary
shares submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.
Due to the low price our sponsor paid for the founder shares, our sponsor stands to make a substantial profit even if a Business Combination subsequently declines in value or is unprofitable for our Public Shareholders.
As a result of the low acquisition cost of our founder shares, our sponsor could make a substantial profit even if we select and consummate a business combination with an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value or is unprofitable for our public shareholders. Thus, such parties may have more of an economic incentive for us to enter into a business combination with a riskier, weaker-performing or financially unstable business, or an entity lacking an established record of revenues or earnings, than would be the case if such parties had paid the full offering price for their founder shares.
If thewe Proposedcomplete GRTour Businessinitial
Combinationbusiness is consummated,combination, a majority of our directors and officers of the surviving entity willmay reside outside of the United States
and all
of our assets will be located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult, or in some cases not possible, for investors
investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon all of our directors or officers or to
enforce judgments
of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties on our directors and officers under
United States laws.
There may be tax consequences to the Proposed GRT Business Combination that may adversely affect U.S. holders.
We expect to undertake the Proposed GRT Business Combination such that it would qualify as either a transaction governed by Section 351(a) of the Code or a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code so as to minimize any adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders. However, such business combination might not meet the requirements of Section 368(a) of the Code or Section 351(a) of the Code. Further, even if the business combination qualifies under such statutory provisions, U.S. holders may still be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences due to the “passive foreign investment company rules.”
In addition, after the closing of the business combination, the combined entity may be subject to the tax laws of jurisdictions other
than the Cayman Islands, in which case U.S. holders may be subject to withholding taxes or other taxes with respect to their ownership
of our securities.
U.S. holders exchanging their company securities in the business combination should consult their tax advisors to determine the tax consequences thereof.
In connection with the Proposed GRT Business Combination and during the interim period, we are prohibited from entering into certain transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to us or its shareholders.
Until the earlier of consummation of the business combination or termination of the Merger Agreement, we are subject to certain limitations on the operations of its business, including restrictions on its ability to merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into, or acquire (by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in, or by any other manner) any entity other than GRT. The limitations on our conduct of our business during this period could have the effect of delaying or preventing other strategic transactions and may, in some cases, make it impossible to pursue business opportunities that are available only for a limited time.
There is no assurance when or if the Proposed GRT Business Combination will be completed.
The completion of the Proposed GRT Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions as set forth in the Merger Agreement. No assurance can be given that the required consents, orders and approvals will be obtained or that the required conditions to the completion of the business combination will be satisfied. Even if all such consents, orders and approvals are obtained and such conditions are satisfied, no assurance can be given as to the terms, conditions and timing of such consents, orders and approvals. We cannot provide assurance that the business combination will be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all.
Our extraordinary shareholder meeting to approve the Business Combination may take place before all of the required regulatory approvals have been obtained and before all conditions to such approvals, if any, are known. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the business combination proposal and the transactions contemplated therein are approved by our shareholders, we would not be required to seek further approval of our shareholders, even if the conditions imposed in obtaining required regulatory approvals could have an adverse effect on us or GRT.
Delays in completing the Proposed GRT Business Combination may substantially reduce the expected benefits of such business combination.
Satisfying the conditions to, and completion of, the business combination may take longer than, and could cost more than what you expect. Any delay in completing or any additional conditions imposed in order to complete the business combination may materially adversely affect the benefits that you may expect to achieve from the business combination.
We may be forced to close the Proposed GRT
Business Combination even if we determine that it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest.
Public shareholders are protected from a material adverse event of GRT arising between the date of the Merger Agreement and the date of the extraordinary general meeting, primarily by the right to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in our trust account, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the business combination. If a material adverse event were to occur after approval at the extraordinary general meeting, we may be forced to close the business combination even if we determine that it is no longer in our shareholders’ best interest to do so (as a result of such material adverse event), which could have a significant negative impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We do not currently operate
in the PRC. However, our sponsor and members
of our board of directors and management have significant business ties to the PRC and Hong
Kong, and certain members of our board of
directors and management are based in or are residents of the PRC or Hong Kong. Further, aswe
may wedecide areto pursuingpursue thean GRT Business Combination,
we are considering ainitial business combination with ana entitycompany orthat business withhas a physical presence or other significant ties to the People’sPRC.
Republic of China or Hong Kong, and its business is subject to the laws, regulations and policies of the PRC. As a result, in the
future we may be subject to risks related to the PRC as discussed below.
We are pursuing an initial business combination with GRT, which
is based in the PRC and the laws and regulations of the PRC may not afford U.S. investors or regulatory agencies access to information
normally available to them with respect to U.S. based entities.
In November 2020,
the SEC Staff issued guidance regarding certain risks and considerations that should be considered by investors regarding foreign
entities, specifically the limited ability of U.S. investors and regulatory agencies to rely upon or obtain information from foreign
based entities, specifically China based entities, under the laws and regulations of such foreign countries. As stated by the SEC
Staff, “[a]lthough China-based Issuers that access the U.S. public capital markets generally have the same disclosure
obligations and legal responsibilities as other non-U.S. issuers, the Commission’s ability to promote and enforce high-quality
disclosure standards for China-based Issuers may be materially limited. As a result, there is substantially greater risk that their
disclosures may be incomplete or misleading. In addition, in the event of investor harm, investors generally will have substantially
less access to recourse, in comparison to U.S. domestic companies and foreign issuers in other jurisdictions.” Among other
potential issues and risks cited by the SEC Staff, the SEC Staff identified restrictions in China which restricted the PCAOB’s
ability to inspect audit work and practices of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms in China and on the PCAOB’s ability to
inspect audit work with respect to China-based issuer audits by PCAOB-registered public accounting firms in Hong Kong.
Further, current laws and regulations in China as well as other potential target countries, can limit or restrict investigations and similar activities by U.S. regulatory agencies such as the SEC to gather information regarding the securities and other activities of issuers based in the foreign countries where such laws or regulations exist. According to Article 177 of the newly amended PRC Securities Law which became effective in March 2020 (the “Article 177”), the securities regulatory authority of the PRC State Council may collaborate with securities regulatory authorities of other countries or regions in order to monitor and oversee cross border securities activities. Article 177 further provides that overseas securities regulatory authorities are not allowed to carry out investigation and evidence collection directly within the territory of the PRC, and that any Chinese entities and individuals are not allowed to provide documents or materials related to securities business activities to overseas agencies without prior consent of the securities regulatory authority of the PRC State Council and the competent departments of the PRC State Council. Investors should be aware that the U.S. Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which requires that the PCAOB be permitted to inspect an issuer’s public accounting firm within three years, may result in the delisting of the operating company in the future if the PCAOB is unable to inspect the firm.
We intend to consider potential target business in foreign jurisdictions, including China-based entities and businesses, and therefore investors should be aware of risks related to the ability to obtain information and conduct investigations and be afforded protections by U.S. based agencies such as the SEC related to any such business combination with a target business in a foreign country and consider such risks prior to investing in our securities.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, foregoing,
in the event that we decide to consummate our initial business combination with a target business based in or primarily
operating in China,
including the Proposed GRT Business Combination, if there is any regulatory change which prohibits the independent accountants from providing audit
audit documentations located in mainland China or Hong Kong to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation or the PCAOB expands the scope of
of the Determination Report so that the target company or the combined company is subject to the HFCA Act, as the same may be amended,
you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S
capital capital
markets and trading of our securities on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the
U.S. may be prohibited,
under the HFCA Act.
We may not be able to complete
an initial business combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment
regulations and review by a U.S. government agency such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately
prohibited. Our sponsor, Whale Management Corporation, is controlled by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Matthew Chen, who is
a U.S. citizen. However, our sponsor has substantial ties with certain non-U.S. individuals. Our sponsor currently owns approximately
22.15%39% of our outstanding shares. Certain federally licensed businesses in the United States, such as broadcasters and airlines, may be
subject to rules or regulations that limit foreign ownership. In addition, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”)
is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons
in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States. Because we may be considered a “foreign
person” under such rules and regulations, any proposed business combination between us and a U.S. business engaged in a regulated
industry or which may affect national security, we could be subject to such foreign ownership restrictions and/or CFIUS review. The scope
of CFIUS review was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”) to include certain
non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying
U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subject certain categories of investments to
mandatory filings. If our initial business combination with any potential target company falls within the scope of foreign ownership restrictions,
we may be unable to consummate a business combination with such business. In addition, if our business combination falls within CFIUS’s
jurisdiction, we may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the
initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination.
CFIUS may decide to block or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect
to such initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company if we had proceeded
without first obtaining CFIUS clearance.

As a result, this may limit the pool of acquisition candidates we may acquire in the United States, in particular, relative to other special purpose acquisition companies that are not subject to such restrictions, which could make it more difficult and costly for us to consummate a business combination with a target business operating in the United States relative to such other companies. Moreover, the process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete the initial business combination, our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public shareholders may only receive the cash held in the trust account, and our rights will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

If we continue to pursue
the Proposed GRT Business Combination, we will eventually submit for shareholder approval a business combination with a target business
located or based in China. On July 30, 2021, the Chairman of the SEC issued a statement highlighting potential issues resulting from
recent China regulatory changes and guidance that may impact investors’ investments in China based entities. According to the SEC’s
Chairman, the People’s Republic of China provided new guidance to and placed restrictions on China-based companies raising capital
offshore, including through associated offshore shell companies. These developments include China government-led cybersecurity reviews
of certain companies raising capital through offshore entities. This is relevant to U.S. investors. In a number of sectors in China, companies
are not allowed to have foreign ownership and cannot directly list on exchanges outside of China. To raise money on such exchanges, many
China-based operating companies are structured as Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”). In such an arrangement, a China-based
operating company typically establishes an offshore shell company in another jurisdiction, such as the Cayman Islands, to issue stock
to public shareholders. For U.S. investors, this arrangement creates “exposure” to the China-based operating company, though
only through a series of service contracts and other contracts. To be clear, though, neither the investors in the shell company’s
stock, nor the offshore shell company itself, has stock ownership in the China-based operating company. We note that we have determined
not to conduct an initial business combination with any target which conducts its business in China through VIEs or any other similar
arrangement. As a result, this may limit the pool of acquisition candidates we may acquire in the PRC, in particular, relative to other
special purpose acquisition companies that are not subject to such restrictions, which could make it more difficult and costly for us
to consummate a business combination with a target business operating in the PRC relative to such other companies.
If we consummate the Proposed
GRT Business Combination or undertake a business
combination with anothera China based business, our ability to operate in China may be
harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including
those relating to taxation, cyber security, environmental regulations, land use
rights, property and other matters. The central or local
governments of jurisdictions such as China may impose new, stricter regulations
or interpretations of existing regulations that would
require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance
with such regulations or interpretations.
The PRC government may intervene
or influence our search for a target business or the completion of an initial business combination at any time, which could significantly
and negatively impact our search for a target business and/or the value of our securities. The Proposed GRT Business Combination will
also be subject to PRC laws relating to the collection, use, sharing, retention, security, and transfer of confidential and private information,
such as personal information and other data. These laws continue to develop, and the PRC
government may exert more oversight and control
over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers
in the future by adopting other rules and restrictions.
Non-compliance could result in penalties or other significant legal liabilities.
If, for example, our potential
initial business combination is with a target business operating in the PRC, such as the Proposed GRT Business Combination, and if the
New Measures mandates clearance of cybersecurity
review and other specific actions to be completed by the target business, we may face
uncertainties as to whether such clearance can be
timely obtained, or at all, and incur additional time delays to complete any such acquisition.
Cybersecurity review could also result
in negative publicity with respect to our initial business combination and diversion of our managerial
and financial resources. We may
also be prevented from pursuing certain investment opportunities if the PRC government considers that
the potential investments will result
in a significant national security issue. In addition, due to limited business combination period
that we have, we may avoid searching
for a target and completing an initial business combination that will be subject to cybersecurity
review. Therefore, we may avoid searching
for a company which could be deemed as a network platform operator and possesses information
of more than one million users.
The Regulations on Mergers
and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rules”), adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies
in 2006, and amended in 2009, require an offshore special purpose vehicle formed for the purpose of an overseas listing of securities
in a PRC company to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities
on an overseas stock exchange. The scope of the M&A Rules covers two types of transactions: (a) equity deals where the acquisition
by a foreign investor, i.e., the offshore special purpose vehicle, of equity in a “PRC domestic company,” and (b) asset deals
where the acquisition by an offshore special purpose vehicle of the assets of a “PRC domestic company.” Neither the equity
deals or the asset deals will be involved in our business combination process with a China-based target for the reason that the offshore
special purpose vehicle of such China-based target directly holds shares through the wholly foreign owned enterprise(s) or WFOE, which
are established by means of direct investment rather than by equity deals or asset deals under the M&A Rules. To date, the CSRC has
not issued any definitive rules or interpretations concerning whether offerings such as the indirect listing of a China-based entity as
part of the business combination are subject to the CSRC approval procedures under the M&A Rules. As a result, based on our management’s
understanding of the current PRC laws, rules, regulations and the local market practices, the CSRC’s approval under the M&A
Rules will not be required in the context of our business combination with a China-based target. However, substantial uncertainty remains
regarding the scope and applicability of the M&A Rules to offshore special purpose vehicles and the above analysis are subject to
any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementation and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules. We cannot
assure you that relevant PRC governmental agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as we do. It is possible that
we may need to obtain approvals or permissions from the CSRC in order for us to complete a business combination with a China-based target
pursuant to the M&A Rules, such as with respect to the Proposed GRT Business Combination.Rules. If we are required to obtain such approvals,
we cannot assure we will be able to receive them in a timely manner, or at all.
Our company is a blank check company incorporated under the laws of
the Cayman Islands. We currently do not hold any equity interest in any PRC company or operate any business in China. Therefore, we are
not required to obtain any permission from any PRC governmental authorities to operate our business as currently conducted. If we decide
to consummate our business combination with a target business based in and primarily operating in China, such as with respect to the GRT
Business Combination, the combined company’s business operations in China through its subsidiaries, as applicable, are subject to
relevant requirements to obtain applicable licenses from PRC governmental authorities under relevant PRC laws and regulations.
Following a business combination
with one or more PRC based entities, such as the Proposed GRT Business Combination, any transfer of funds by us to any PRC subsidiaries,
either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, is subject to approval by or registration or filing with relevant
governmental authorities in China. According to the relevant PRC regulations on foreign-invested enterprises in China, capital contributions
to PRC subsidiaries are subject to the approval of or filing with the MOFCOM in its local branches and registration with a local bank
authorized by SAFE. In addition, (i) any foreign loan procured by PRC subsidiaries is required to be registered with SAFE or its local
branches or filed with SAFE in its information system; and (ii) PRC subsidiaries may not procure loans which exceed the difference between
their total investment amount and registered capital or, as an alternative, only procure loans subject to the calculation approach and
limitation as provided in the People’s Bank of China Notice No. 9 (“PBOC Notice No. 9”). Any medium- or long-term loan
to be provided by us or our affiliated entities, if any, to our PRC subsidiary must be registered with the National Development and Reform
Commission and SAFE or its local branches. We may not be able to obtain these government approvals or complete such registrations on a
timely basis, if at all, with respect to future capital contributions or foreign loans by us to our PRC subsidiaries. If we fail to receive
such approvals or complete such registration or filing, our ability to capitalize on PRC operations may be negatively affected, which
could adversely affect our liquidity and ability to fund and expand our businesses.
The PRC government imposes
controls on the convertibility of the Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China.
We may consummate a business combination with a target business based in and primarily operating in China, such as the Proposed GRT Business
Combination, after which the operating companies in China upon consummation of the business combination will receive substantially all
of their revenues in Renminbi. In that case, the combined company may rely on dividend payments from its PRC subsidiaries to fund any
cash and financing requirements it may have. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments in foreign currencies of current
account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made
without prior approvals of the SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. Specifically, under the existing exchange restrictions,
without prior approvals of the SAFE, cash generated from the operations of PRC operating companies in China may be used to pay dividends.
However, approvals from or registration with appropriate government authorities are required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign
currencies and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies.
We may consummate a business
combination with a target business based in and primarily operating in China through subsidiaries in China, such as the Proposed GRT Business
Combination.China,. After such business combination, the combined company may rely on dividends and other distributions from the PRC subsidiaries
of the combined company to provide it with cash flow and to meet its other obligations. Current regulations in China would permit the
combined company’s PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends only out of their accumulated distributable profits, if any, determined in
accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, the combined company’s PRC subsidiaries in China will
be required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profits each year to fund their respective statutory reserves (up to an aggregate
amount equal to half of their respective registered capital). Such cash reserve may not be distributed as cash dividends.
If we effect our initial
business combination with a company located outside of the United States, such as the Proposed GRT Business Combination, we would be subject
to any special considerations or risks associated with companies operating in the target business’ home jurisdiction, including
any of the following:
If we effect a business combination
with a company located outside of the United States, such as the Proposed GRT Business Combination, the laws of the country in which such
company operates will govern almost all of the material agreements relating to its operations. We cannot assure you that the target business
will be able to enforce any of its material agreements or that remedies will be available in this new jurisdiction. The system of laws
and the enforcement of existing laws in such jurisdiction may not be as certain in implementation and interpretation as in the United
States. The inability to enforce or obtain a remedy under any of our future agreements could result in a significant loss of business,
business opportunities or capital. Additionally, if we acquire a company located outside of the United States, it is likely that substantially
all of our assets would be located outside of the United States and some of our officers and directors might reside outside of the United
States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process
upon our directors or officers or to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties
of our directors and officers under Federal securities laws.

We completed our initial public offering (the “IPO”) in June 2024. Upon the closing of the IPO and exercise of the over-allotment option by underwriters as well as the sale of the private placement units, a total of $69,000,000, including $1,725,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and after deducting of the other underwriting commissions and expenses for the IPO, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account (the “Trust Account”) maintained by Wilmington Trust National Association, acting as trustee, and will be invested only in specified U.S. government treasury bills or in specified money market funds. Transaction costs related to our IPO amounted to $3,448,233, consisting of $1,380,000 of underwriting fees, $1,725,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $343,233 of other offering costs.
We will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their ordinary shares upon the completion of our initial business combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of a proposed business combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require us to seek shareholder approval under the law or stock exchange listing requirement. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of our initial business combination with respect to our rights. The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private placement shares and any public shares they may acquire during or after our IPO in connection with the completion of our initial business combination.

The GFT Merger Agreement replaced and superseded the GRT Merger Agreement described above. The GFT Merger Agreement and related agreements are further described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 22, 2025. On December 11, 2025, Flag Ship, GFT and Merger Sub entered into the first amendment to the Merger Agreement to amend Section 10.01 of the GFT Merger Agreement to extend the Outside Date defined thereunder from December 31, 2025 to June 20, 2026.

No party will be required to pay a termination fee as a result of the mutual decision to enter into the GFT Termination Agreement.
Letter of Intent
On May 8, 2026, the Company entered into a letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) with Bluechip & Co. Holdings (“Bluechip”), a Cayman Islands exempt company, in connection with a proposed business combination transaction (the “Proposed Transaction”). The Letter of Intent provides for an exclusive negotiation period, during which the Company is conducting due diligence on Bluechip and the parties are negotiating the terms of a definitive agreement. The parties have agreed to a ninety (90) day period of mutual exclusivity, which may be extended under certain conditions specified in the Letter of Intent. The Letter of Intent includes binding provisions regarding exclusivity and other related transaction provisions governing the parties’ negotiations. The Proposed Transaction remains subject to the completion of due diligence, the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and approval by the boards and shareholders of the parties. There can be no assurance that the parties will enter into a definitive agreement or that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated.
Extensions of Time Period
Flag Ship originally had until September 20, 2025 to consummate a business combination. However, our Sponsor was allowed to extend the time frame for us to complete a business combination by up to an additional 9 months (for a total period of up to 24 months from our initial public offering) provided that it (or its designee) deposits the required amount of funds into the Trust Account for each monthly extension. Holders of our securities do not have to right to approve or disapprove any such monthly extension. Further, holders of our securities do not have the right to seek or obtain redemption in connection with any such extension.
In order to extend the time available for Flag Ship to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees were initially required to deposit into the Trust Account $230,000 (approximately $0.033 per public share in either case) on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline for each one month extension, and up to an aggregate of $2,070,000, or $0.30 per public share. On August 26, 2025, Flag Ship held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) and obtained shareholder approval of the reduction of the monthly fee payable to extend the date by which it must consummate its initial business combination from $0.033 per each outstanding public share (for each monthly extension) to an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $60,000 for all outstanding public shares and (ii) $0.033 for each outstanding public share. The first monthly extension fee must be made by September 20, 2025 while each subsequent monthly extension fee must be deposited into the trust account by the 20th of each succeeding month until June 20, 2026. Extension payments have been deposited into the Trust Account covering extensions through June 20, 2026. In connection with the vote to approve the reduction of the Monthly Extension Fee, holders of 3,837,483 ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $40,447,071. If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, we will, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account and as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the rights will be worthless.
In connection with the pending expiration of the current deadline to consummate an initial business combination, the Company anticipates holding an extraordinary general meeting on June 11, 2026 to seek shareholder approval of a proposal to extend the deadline to consummate a business combination for up to twelve (12) additional one-month periods, from June 20, 2026 to June 20, 2027.
The Merger Agreement may
be terminated under certain circumstances at any time prior to the Effective Time, including, among others, by (i) mutual written consent
by us and GRT, (ii) either party if the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have not been completed by the Outside Date,
(iii) either party if any representation or warranty of the opposing party is not materially true and correct or if the opposing party
fails to perform in any material respect any covenant or agreement, subject to a 30-day cure period and other exceptions, and (iv) either
party if the other party’s board of directors withdraws or changes its recommendation that its respective shareholders vote in favor
of the proposals agreed upon, or if either party’s shareholders do not approve all the required proposals at the respective shareholder
meetings of either party (or at any adjournment or postponement thereof). See “Item 1. Business—Proposed GRT Business Combination”

On August 30, 2024, we
issued issued
an unsecured promissory note (the “2024 Note”) in the principal amount of up to $1,000,000 to our Sponsor
pursuant to which
we may borrow additional funds. The 2024 Note bears no interest and iswas initially due on the earlier of: (i)
December 31, 2025 or (ii) the date on
which we consummate our initial business combination. As of December 31, 2024, there was $677,851 outstanding under the 2024

amount from $1,000,000 to $1,200,000. On January 28, 2026, the Company and the Sponsor agreed to further amend and restate the 2024
Note (the “Second Amended Note”) to raise the principal balance to $2,000,000 and extend the maturity date thereof to be
the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2026 or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination. Other than
the foregoing terms, the Second Amended Note has the same terms as the 2024 Note. As of December 31, 2025, there was $1,446,751
outstanding under the Second Amended Note.
In order to complete a Business
Combination, the Company will need to raise 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, loan the Company
funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s
working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional
capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to,
curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if a Business Combination is not consummated.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if a Business Combination is not consummated. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the requisite time period, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the period of time provided for by its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on June 17, 2024, the holders of the insider shares, private placement units (including securities contained therein), and units (including securities contained therein) that may be issued on conversion of working capital loans or extension loans (and) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of our initial public offering requiring us to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of initial business combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
On August 30, 2024,
2024, the Company issued the 2024 Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount
of $1,000,000.
The 2024 Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of consummation of the initial business
combination of the Company
or December 31, 2025. On January 28, 2026, the Company and the Sponsor agreed to amend and restate the 2024 Note (the “Second
Amended Note”) to raise the principal balance from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 and extend the maturity date thereof to be the earlier
of: (i) December 31, 2026 or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination. The issuance of the
2024 Note was made pursuant to the exemption from
registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07,
Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual
and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”),
as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that
a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment
profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all
annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide
all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early
adoption permitted.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Following the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $69,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $3,448,233 in transaction costs, including $1,380,000 of underwriting fees, $1,725,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $343,233 of other offering costs.
We originally had until September 20, 2025 to
consummate a business combination. However, our Sponsor was allowed to extend the time frame for us to complete a business combination
by up to an additional 9 months (for a total period of up to 24 months from our initial public offering) provided that it (or its designee)
deposits the required amount of funds into the Trust Account for each monthly extension. Holders of our securities do not have tothe right
to approve or disapprove any such monthly extension. Further, holders of our securities do not have the right to seek or obtain redemption
in connection with any such extension. Currently,Following our extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on June 11, 2026, we have up to 2436 months from the closing of the IPO, or June 20, 2026,2027, to complete our

The first monthly extension fee was payable by September 20, 2025 and each subsequent monthly extension fee must be deposited into the trust account by the 20th of each succeeding month during the Prescribed Time Frame. Extension payments of $60,000 for each monthly extension were deposited into the Trust Account covering extensions through June 20, 2026. Subsequently, the Sponsor has deposited monthly extension payments of $51,842 into the Trust Account in June 2026 and July 2026 in order to extend the deadline to consummate a business combination to August 20, 2026.
In connection with the extraordinary general meeting held in August 2025, holders of 3,837,483 ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $40,447,071.

In such event, the rights will be worthless.
In connection with the pending expiration of the
current deadline to consummate an initial business combination, the Company anticipates holding an extraordinary general meeting on June
11, 2026 to seek shareholder approval of a proposal to extend the deadline to consummate a business combination for up to twelve (12)
additional one-month periods, from June 20, 2026 to June 20, 2027.
On May 8, 2026, the Company entered into a letter
of intent with Bluechip & Co. Holdings, a Cayman Islands exempt company, in connection with a proposed business combination transaction
(the “Proposed Transaction”). The Letter of Intent provides for an exclusive negotiation period, during which the Company
is has been conducting due diligence on Bluechip and the parties arehave been negotiating the terms of a definitive agreement. The parties have agreed
to a ninety (90) day period of mutual exclusivity, which may be extended under certain conditions specified in the Letter of Intent.
The Letter of Intent includes binding provisions regarding exclusivity and other related transaction provisions governing the parties’
negotiations. The Proposed Transaction remains subject to the completion of due diligence, the negotiation and execution of definitive
agreements, satisfaction of customary closing conditions, and approval by the boards and shareholders of the parties. There can be no
assurance that the parties will enter into a definitive agreement or that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the parties have not yet entered into a definitive agreement. The Company continues to evaluate potential business combination opportunities.
Our entire activity since inception up to March
31,June 30, 2026 related to our formation, the preparation for the initial public offering, and since the closing of the initial public offering,
the search for a prospective target for our initial business combination and activities in support of consummating our initial business
combination, including negotiating and pursuing a business combination with GRT and subsequently GFT, each of which was terminated. The
Company is currently engaged in exclusive negotiations with Bluechip & Co. Holdings pursuant to a Letter of Intent relating to a
potential business combination and is conducting due diligence in connection therewith. We will not generate any operating revenues until
the closing and completion of our initial business combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of
interest and dividend income from the amount held in the Trust Account. We expect that we will incur 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 in
connection with searching for, and completing, our initial business combination.
For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had
had net income of $159,828,$184,954, which consisted of interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in the Trust Account of $290,462,$294,999,
partially offset by formation, general and administrative expenses of $130,634.$110,045.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had net income of $589,626, which consisted of interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in the Trust Account of $742,274, partially offset by formation, general and administrative expenses of $152,648.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net income of $1,167,324, which consisted of interest and dividends earned on cash and investments held in the Trust Account of $1,482,043, partially offset by formation, general and administrative expenses of $314,719.
Following the IPO and the sale of the Private Units, a total of $69,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $3,448,233 in transaction costs, including $1,380,000 of underwriting fees, $1,725,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $343,233 of other offering costs.
For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, net cash
cash used in operating activities was $34,740.$260,359. Net income of $159,828$314,782 was mainly impacted by interest and dividends earned on
cash and
investments held in the trust account of $290,462.$585,461.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash and investments
held in the Trust Account of $33,430,500.$34,017,341. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts
representing interest and dividends earned on the Trust Account, excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete our Business
Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used,
in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a 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 MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash of $1,811$1,300 held
outside of the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $1,629,435.$2,061,322, excluding $34,017,341 payables due to redeeming shareholders to be paid out from the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds loanedavailable to us under the Amended 2024 Note
(defined below), and the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to pursue the proposed business combination with Bluechip &
Co. Holdings pursuant to the Letter of Intent entered into on May 8, 2026, and if necessary, to identify and evaluate alternative 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.
On August 30, 2024, we issued an unsecured promissory
note (the “August 2024 Promissory Note”) in the principal amount of up to $1,000,000 to our Sponsor pursuant to which we may borrow additional
funds. The August 2024 Promissory Note bears no interest and was initially due on the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2025 or (ii) the date on which we consummate
our initial business combination. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time. Once an amount is drawn down under the August 2024 Promissory Note,
it shall not be available for future drawdown requests even if prepaid. The August 2024 Promissory Note is subject to customary events of default, the
occurrence of certain of which entitles the Sponsor to declare, by written notice to us, the unpaid principal balance of the August 2024 Promissory Note
and all other sums payable with regard to the August 2024 Promissory Note becoming immediately due and payable. On August 21, 2025, we and our Sponsor
agreed to amend and restate the August 2024 Promissory Note to solely raise the principal balance from $1,000,000 to $1,200,000. On January 28, 2026, we
and our Sponsor agreed to further amend and restate the August 2024 Promissory Note (the “Amended 2024 Note”) to raise the principal balance
from $1,200,000 to $2,000,000 and extend the maturity date to the earlier of (i) December 31, 2026 or (ii) the date on which we
consummate our initial business combination. Other than the foregoing terms, the Amended 2024 Note has the same terms as the Amended
2024 Note. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, there was $1,540,219$2,053,701 outstanding under the Amended 2024 Note.
In order to extend the time available for the
Company to consummate a Business Combination, the initial shareholdersSponsor or theirits affiliates or designees were initially required to deposit
into the Trust Account $230,000 (approximately $0.033 per public share in either case) on or prior to the date of the applicable
deadline for each one month extension, and up to an aggregate of $2,070,000, or $0.30 per public share. OnFollowing the extraordinary general meetings of shareholders held on August 26, 2025,2025 through
theand ExtraordinaryJune General11, Meeting,2026, theour shareholders approved the proposalproposals to reduce the extension payment from $0.033 per each outstanding
public share (for each monthly extension) to an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $60,000 for all outstanding public shares and (ii)
$0.033 for each outstanding public share. After the redemption of our public shares in connection therewith, the Sponsor (or its affiliates or designees) is required to deposit $51,842 into the Trust Account for each monthly extension. Any such payments would be made in the form of a loan. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31,
2025, the extension loan balance was $300,000$591,842 and $240,000, respectively; such amounts are included in “Promissory Notes –
Related Party” presented on the balance sheets included in the financial statements filed with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a business combination. In order to complete a Business Combination, we will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from our Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Our officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern one year from the issuance date of the unaudited condensed financial statements.
The
unaudited unauditedcondensed financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In
connection with our assessment of going concern considerations
in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of
Financial Statements—Going Concern,” management has determined
that mandatory liquidation, should a business combination
not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern for a
reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date
of the unaudited condensed financial
statements. The current business combination deadline is June 20, 2026. The Company is seeking shareholder
approval at the June 11, 2026 Extraordinary General Meeting to extend the deadline by up to twelve additional monthly periods. There
can be no assurance that shareholders will approve such extension.2027. Our management plans to address this uncertainty
through the initial
business combination as discussed above. There is no assurance that our plans to consummatefor the initial business
combination will be successful
consummated on or successful bybefore the applicable deadline of completing an initial business combination as described
above. The unaudited condensed financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement
entered into on June 17, 2024, the holders of the insider shares, private placement units (including securities contained
therein), and units (including securities contained therein) that may be issued on conversion of working capital loans or extension
loans (and) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of our initial
public offering requiring us to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to
three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain
“piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of an
initial business combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
August 2024 Promissory Note

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. A critical accounting estimate to our unaudited condensed financial statements includes the valuation of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates.
Our management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.
