Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. However, for detailed descriptions of the risks relating to our Company, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our (i) IPO Registration Statement and (ii) 2025 Annual Report. As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors, other than as set forth below. Any of these previously disclosed risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.”
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations under applicable accounting standards, Management has determined that our possible need for additional financing to enable us negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination, as well as the deadline by which we may be required to liquidate our Trust Account, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern through approximately one year from the date the unaudited condensed financial statements included in Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Report were issued.

Following the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, our liquidity needs through June 30, 2026 have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement held outside the Trust Account.

the threesix months ended
March 31,June 30, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $344,060.$532,427. Net income of $1,726,095$3,550,480 was offset by interest

For the period from June 27, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $0. The Company had no operating activities during the period and incurred no operating expenses. As a result, the Company reported no net income or net loss and had no changes in operating assets or liabilities.
As
of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had
marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $232,265,476$234,322,761 (including approximately $2,265,476$4,322,761 of interest
income).We may withdraw
interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. 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
(which interest shall be net of any taxes
payable and exclude the Deferred Fee), 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 held outside of the Trust Account of approximately $907,573.$719,206. We 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.
Our liquidity needs through
March 31, 2026 have been satisfied through (i) a contribution of $25,000 from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of our Founder
Shares, (ii) a loan pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note, and (iii) the net proceeds from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering
and Private Placement held outside of the Trust Account.
We initially have until December
19, 2027 to consummate the initial Business Combination (assume no extensions). If we do not complete a Business Combination, we will
trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles
of Association. Notwithstanding management’s belief that we would have sufficient funds to execute its business strategy, there
is a possibility that Business Combination might not happen within the 24-month period from the date of the Initial Public Offering.
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Going Concern,” as of March
31, 2026, we may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its 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, 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. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable
terms, if at all.
Management plans to address
this uncertainty through a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, currently
December 19, 2027, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. Management has determined that the liquidity condition
raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets
or liabilities should be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. We intend to complete the initial Business Combination before
the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the
end of the Combination Period.
In
order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain
of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us Working Capital Loans, as may be required. If
we complete a Business Combination, we intend to repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not
close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds
from our Trust Account will be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into warrants
of the post-Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.
Other than as set forth above, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist
with respect to such Working Capital Loans. As of MarchJune 30, 2026 and December 31, 2026,2025, we did not have any borrowings under any Working
Capital Loans.
Going Concern
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 we currently lack the liquidity we need to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements” are issued, as we expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. In addition, Management has determined that if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to the end of the Combination Period. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after December 19, 2027. There can be no assurance that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.
In connection with our assessment
of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,”
we do not currently believe we will need to raise additional funds to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However,
if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination
are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business
Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated
to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional
securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination.
Commencing
on December 17, 2025, and until the
completion of our Business Combination or liquidation, we reimburse (i) LMS, an affiliate of the Sponsor,
and (ii) Cadenza Ventures Management
Company, LLC, an affiliate of our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, in an aggregate
amount equal to $25,000 per month
(or $12,500 per month to each), for office space, utilities, and secretarial and administrative support
made available to us pursuant
to the Administrative Services Agreement. For the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we incurred $75,000 and paid
$37,500$150,000 in fees
for these services, respectively of which $25,000 is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed
balance sheets. For the period from June 27, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025, the Company did not incur any fees for these services.
The
preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial
Statements”
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 unaudited condensed 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 differs
from the assumptions used, our unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto included in this Report under Item
1. “Financial
Statements” 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.
