Section 4501 of the Internal Revenue Code, as enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of certain stock repurchases (including redemptions) made by publicly traded U.S. corporations, subject to certain exceptions. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, the excise tax is currently not expected to apply to redemptions of our Class A ordinary shares (absent any regulations or other additional guidance that may be issued in the future). However, in connection with an initial business combination involving a company organized under the laws of a state of the United States, it is possible that we domesticate and continue as a corporation organized under the laws of a state of the United States prior to certain redemptions. Because we expect that, following such a domestication, our securities would continue to trade on a national securities exchange, in such a case, we could be subject to the excise tax with respect to any subsequent redemptions.
The IRS has issued Notice 2023-2 and final regulations addressing certain aspects of the excise tax’s application to SPAC transactions. However, the IRS guidance does not address all potential factual situations that may arise in connection with SPAC transactions. As a result, significant aspects of the application of the excise tax remain subject to interpretation, and there remains uncertainty regarding how the excise tax rules may apply to particular SPAC transactions.
Section 4501 of the Internal Revenue Code, as
enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of certain stock repurchases made by
a "covered corporation." Although we are a Cayman Islands exempted company, the application of this excise tax to SPAC redemptions
has not been definitively resolved, especially regarding redemptions by entities organized outside the United States whose shares trade
on U.S. exchanges. The IRS has issued Notice 2023-2 and proposed regulations addressing certain aspects of the excise tax's application
to SPAC transactions, but final regulations have not been issued.

be imposed on redemptions of our Class A ordinary shares in connection with our initial business combination, an extension of the completion

a business combination or PIPE transaction. In addition,However, there is no assurance that any such offset would be available or sufficient to
fully eliminate the liability.
We have not received a ruling from the IRS or a formal opinion from tax counsel on this issue, and we have not accrued for any potential excise tax liability in our financial statements as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Any excise tax would be payable by us, not by the redeeming shareholders, and would reduce the cash available for our initial business combination, working capital, or distribution to shareholders. If final regulations or other future guidance clarifies the application of the excise tax to our redemptions, our potential liability could be material.

This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of 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 Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the completion of the Proposeda Business Combination
(as defined below), 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, including that the conditions of the Proposeda Business
Combination are not satisfied. 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
for its Initial Public Offering 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 August 1, 2025 (inception) through MarchJune 31,30, 2026 were organizational activities,
those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and 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. We generate non-operating
income in the form of interest income on investments held in 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 income of $300,812,$985,152, which consists of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account of $779,596,$1,228,397, offset by general
and administrative expenses of $478,784 which includes share-based compensation expense of $138,700.$243,245.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we had a net income of $1,285,964, which consists of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account of $2,007,993, offset by general and administrative expenses of $722,029 which includes share-based compensation expense of $138,700.
For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, cash
used in operating activities was $394,666.$561,610. Net income of $300,812$1,285,964 was affected by payment of operating costs through promissory note of
$667, share-based compensation expense of $138,700 and interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $779,596.$2,007,993. Changes in
operating assets and liabilities usedprovided $55,249$21,052 cash for operating activities.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had marketable securities
held in the Trust Account of $138,779,596$140,007,993 (including $779,596$2,007,993 of interest income). 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 MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had cash of $990,067.
$823,123. 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.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection
with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may,
but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans
would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the
lender’s discretion, up to $2,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted upon completion of a Business Combination into
private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Such private units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. In the event that a
Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital
Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, there were no
Working Capital Loans outstanding.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), management has determined that the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of issuance of the unaudited condensed financial statements is dependent upon the availability of Working Capital Loans from the Sponsor or its affiliates. Management believes that the Sponsor has the financial ability and intent to provide such Working Capital Loans as necessary to fund the Company’s operating needs during this period. However, if the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking due diligence, and negotiating a Business Combination exceed management’s estimates and the Sponsor does not provide sufficient Working Capital Loans, the Company may have insufficient funds to continue operations prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination.
In addition, the Company has a limited period of time, until July 30, 2027 (the “Completion Window”), to consummate an initial Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to complete an initial Business Combination within the Completion Window. If the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination by such date and does not obtain an extension in accordance with its governing documents, the Company will be required to cease operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeem the public shares, and liquidate. The mandatory liquidation date and dissolution requirement are outside of management’s control and cannot be mitigated by the Sponsor’s commitment to provide Working Capital Loans. Accordingly, while management believes that the Sponsor’s commitment to provide Working Capital Loans will enable the Company to meet its working capital needs through the assessment period, the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to consummate an initial Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date these unaudited condensed financial statements are issued. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management’s conclusion differs from that disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s mandatory liquidation date fell outside the one-year look-forward period prescribed by ASC 205-40 and, therefore, was not a condition required to be evaluated within the assessment period. At that time, management concluded that the Sponsor’s commitment to provide Working Capital Loans was sufficient to alleviate substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to satisfy its ordinary operating obligations through the applicable assessment period. As of June 30, 2026, however, the Company’s mandatory liquidation date of July 30, 2027 falls within one year from the expected issuance date of these unaudited condensed financial statements and therefore must be considered in management’s ASC 205-40 evaluation. As a result, the Company’s current going concern conclusion is driven by the contractual requirement to complete an initial Business Combination or otherwise be subject to mandatory liquidation and dissolution within the assessment period, rather than by an identified inability to fund its ordinary operating obligations.
In connection with the Company’s assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern”
(“ASC 205-40”), management does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required
for operating its business. However, if the estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence
and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available
to operate its business prior to the initial Business Combination. The Company has the Completion Window to complete the initial Business
Combination. Management has determined that the Company has sufficient funds to finance the working capital needs of the Company within
one year from the date of issuance of the unaudited condensed financial statements.
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 entered into an agreement, commencing
on January 28, 2026 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay the
Sponsor or an affiliate thereof a monthly fee of $21,000$15,000 for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. For the
three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company incurred $30,000$45,000 and $75,000 in fees for these services, of which such amount is included in accounts
payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
On August 19, 2025, the Company entered into an
agreement with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), commencing on September 1, 2025, to pay the CFO a monthly
fee of $6,000 for his services as an officer of the Company. Pursuant to the general and administrative services agreement, commencing
on January 28, 2026, the Sponsor will pay the CFO the monthly fee of $6,000 for his services as an officer of the Company. For the three
and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company incurred $18,000 and $36,000 in fees for these services, respectively, of which $6,000$12,000 is included in accounts payable
and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
Additionally, on January 30, 2026, the Sponsor
transferred an aggregate of 100,000 Founder Shares to the CFO subject to a performance condition (i.e., providing services through Business
Combination). Share-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon consummation
of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently
modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founder Shares. ForAs theof threeJune months30, ended2026 Marchand December 31, 2026,2025, the Company

The preparation of the financial statements and
notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, in our financial
statements. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions about matters, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of
estimation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. To the
extent actual experience differs from the assumptions used, our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report
could be materially affected. We believe that the following accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. As
of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed, except as noted below.disclosed.
