Unlike some other blank
check check
companies in which the initial stockholders agree to vote their founder shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast
by the
public stockholders in connection with an initial business combination, our initial stockholders, directors and officers have
agreed (and
their respective permitted transferees will agree), pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement entered into with us, to
vote their founder
shares, shares included in the private placement units and any public shares held by them in favor of our initial
business combination.
As a result, in addition to the founder shares and shares included in the private placement units, we would need
only a maximum of 2,107,126
votes, if approval of the transaction required majority voting approval, no votes, assuming the transaction
only required the affirmative
vote of a majority of the shares voted at a meeting at which there was a quorum, of the 6,900,000 public
shares sold in the IPO to be
voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have such initial business combination approved.
Our directors and officers
have also entered into the letter agreement, imposing similar obligations on them with respect to public shares
acquired by them, if any.
Our majority stockholder currently beneficially owns approximately 26.8%28.7% of the issued and outstanding shares
of our common stock. Accordingly, if
we seek stockholder approval of our initial business combination, it is more likely that the necessary
stockholder 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
stockholders.
Our search for an initial business combination,
and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial business combination, may be materially adversely affected
by current global geopolitical conditions resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the conflict in the Middle East and Southwest
Asia.East.
The United States and global
markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict
and the recent escalation of the conflict in the Middle East and Southwest Asia.East. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict,
the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United
States, the United
Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia,
Belarus and
related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue
to provide
military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, or have undertaken or are expected to undertake military strikes
in Southwest Asia, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of
Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of
the conflict in the Middle East and Southwest Asia and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be
taken in the future,
by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other
countries have created
global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length
and impact of the ongoing
conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility
in commodity prices, credit
and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S.
companies. Additionally, any
resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability
and lack of liquidity in capital
markets.
Any of the abovementioned
factors, factors,
or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian
invasion invasion
of Ukraine, the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East and Southwest Asia and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect
affect our search for an initial business combination and any target business with which we may ultimately consummate an initial business
combination.
We may not be able to complete our initial
business combination within the prescribed time frame,frame and/or extend the required date to complete our initial business combination, in
which case we would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up
and we would redeem our public shares and liquidate, in
which case our public stockholders may receive only $10.00 per share, or less
than such amount in certain circumstances, and our warrants
and rights will expire worthless.
We must complete our initial business combination by May 22, 2026, 18 months from the closing of our IPO. However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination by May 22, 2026, we may, by resolution of our board, extend the period of time to consummate an initial business combination up to six times, each by an additional one month (for a total of up to 24 months to complete a business combination). In order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate an initial business combination, our sponsor or its affiliates or designees must deposit into the trust account $229,700 ($0.0333 per share) on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline, for each one-month extension. Our sponsor or its affiliates or designates may not have sufficient funds and/or may not be able to raise sufficient funds to deposit amounts in our trust account to allow for extensions of the date we are required to complete our initial business combination.
Our sponsor, directors and
officers have agreed that we must complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of our IPO (or up to
24 months from the closing of our IPO if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination, as described in more
detail in this Report). We may not be able to find
a suitable target business and complete our initial business combination within such
time period. Our ability to complete our initial
business combination may be negatively impacted by general market conditions, volatility
in the capital and debt markets and the other
risks described herein, including as a result of terrorist attacks, natural disasters or
a significant outbreak of infectious diseases.
Although we expect to focus
our search for a target business by concentrating our efforts on the production,transitional servicingenergy and transportation of Oil, Gas and LNG,sector, we
may seek to complete a business combination
with an operating company of any size (subject to our satisfaction of the 80% of net assets
test) and in any industry, sector or geographic
area. However, we will not, under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation,
be permitted to effectuate our initial business
combination solely with another blank check company or similar company with nominal operations.
Because we have not yet selected or approached
any specific target business with respect to a business combination, there is no basis
to evaluate the possible merits or risks of any
particular target business’s operations, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity,
financial condition or prospects. To the
extent we complete our initial business combination, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent
in the business operations with which
we combine. For example, if we combine with a financially unstable business or an entity lacking
an established record of sales or earnings,
we may be affected by the risks inherent in the business and operations of a financially unstable
or development stage entity. Although
our directors and officers will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business,
we cannot assure you that we
will properly ascertain or assess all of the significant risk factors or that we will have adequate time
to complete due diligence.
Although we intend to target
a business combination in the production,transitional servicingenergy and transportation of Oil, Gas and LNG,sector, we may consider a business combination outside
of our target focus, which may
be 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, we may pursue it. 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 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 relevant to such acquisition. Accordingly, any stockholder or warrant
holder who chooses to
remain a stockholder or warrant holder, respectively, following our initial business combination could suffer a
reduction in the value
of their securities. Such stockholders and warrant holders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in
value.
While ourOur sponsor is not, nor
is it controlled by or have substantial ties to a non-U.S. person. Although we intend to enter into a business combination in which our
investors, both our sponsor and its affiliates as well as our public investors, would own a minority of the post-combination company,
we cannot guarantee that this will be the case. In addition, we cannot predict whether there will be significant ownership by non-U.S.
persons among our stockholders, among other factors that could affect the likelihood of a CFIUS or similar review.
Moreover, the process of
government government
review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy, and we have 18 months (or up to 24 months if we extend
the time
to complete our initial business combination in accordance with the procedures set forth in our amended and restated certificate
of incorporation.
If the review process extends beyond such timeframe or our business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or
another U.S. government
entity, we may be required to liquidate our company. In such circumstances, our warrants and rights will expired expire
worthless.
If we are successful in
completing completing
a business combination with a target business in the production,transitional servicingenergy and transportation of Oil, Gas and LNG,sector, we may be subject to,
and possibly adversely
affected by, the following risks:
We are dependent upon our directors and
officersofficers, and their departure could adversely affect our ability to operate.
On January 13, 2022,
our our
sponsor initially subscribed for an aggregate of 3,593,750 foundersfounder shares. In connection with a reduction in the planned size of
the the
offering, the subscription agreement was amended and restated on October 10, 2022, on December 28, 2022, and on December 1,
2023, the subscription agreement was further amended and restated in connection with a change in the proposed terms of the offering to
provide for a subscription of 2,300,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.011 per share.
The founder shares will be worthless if we do not complete an initial business combination.
In addition, our sponsor
purchased
an 265,000 private placement units simultaneously with our IPO, each unit consisting of one share of common stock, one warrant
and one
right, with each warrant exercisable for one share of common stock, for a purchase price of $2,650,000 in the aggregate and each
right right
entitling the holder to one-eighth of one share of common stock upon completion of the initial business combination, or $10.00
per per
unit, that will also be worthless if we do not complete a business combination.
CO2 Energy Transition, LLC,
our sponsor, beneficially owns approximately 26.8% of the outstanding shares28.7% of our common stock. As a result, it has significant influence
on the stockholder
vote. Consequently, it has the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders and therefore exercises significant
control in
determining the outcome of a number of corporate transactions or other matters. Additionally, it will be difficult if not impossible
for investors to remove our current directors, which will mean they will remain in control of who serves as officers of the Company as
well as whether any changes are made in the Board of Directors. As a potential investor in the Company, you should keep in mind that
even even
if you own shares of our common stock and wish to vote them at annual or special stockholder meetings, your shares will have little
effect effect
on the outcome of corporate decisions. Because CO2 Energy Transition, LLC will significantly influence the vote on all stockholder
matters, matters,
investors may find it difficult to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being operated. The
interests interests
of CO2 Energy Transition, LLC may not coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions of the warrant agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of our warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in our warrant agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope of the forum provisions of the warrant agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any holder of our warrants, such holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder.
We are an “emerging
growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain
exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including,
but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, Act,
reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from
the the
requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments
not previously approved. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We could be
an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if
the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the end of any second
quarter of a fiscal year, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the end of such fiscal year. We cannot
predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our
securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they
otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securitiessecurities, and the trading prices of our securities may be more
volatile.
Additionally, our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2024, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s
accounting for complex financial instruments. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial
statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial
statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows for the period presented.
Effective internal controls
are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. We continue to evaluate steps to remediate the material
weakness. These remediation measures may be time consuming and costly and there is no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately
have the intended effects. If we identify any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could
limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of
our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding
timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our
financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any
measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.
We ourOur units, shares, warrants
and rights are currently traded on Nasdaq. Although we currently meet the continued listing standards set forth in the Nasdaq listing
standards, we cannot assure you that our securities will be, or will continue to be, listed on Nasdaq in the future or prior to our initial
business combination. In order to continue listing our securities on Nasdaq prior to our initial business combination, we must maintain
certain financial, distribution and share price levels. In order to continue listing our securities on Nasdaq prior to our initial business
combination, we must maintain certain financial, distribution and stock price levels. Generally, we must maintain a $50 million market
value of listed securities, 1.1 million publicly available shares, a $15 million market value of publicly held shares and a minimum number
of holders of our securities (generally 400 public holders). Additionally, in connection with our initial business combination, we will
be required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements, which are more rigorous than Nasdaq’s continued
listing requirements, in order to continue to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq.Nasdaq, orfor instance, our stock price would generally
be required to be at least $4.00 per share, the market value of listed securities would be required to be at least $75 million, we would
need to have 1.1 million publicly available shares and $20 million of market value of unrestricted publicly held shares, and we would
be required to have a minimum of 400 round lot holders (with at least 50% of such round lot holders holding securities with a market
value value
of at least $2,500) of our securities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at
that time.
If we seek stockholder approval of our
initial initial
business combination and we do not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, and if you or a “group”
of stockholders are deemed to hold in excess of 15% of the shares of our common stock, you will lose your ability to redeem all such
shares shares
in excess of 15% of the shares of our common stock.
If we seek stockholder approval
of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to
the tender offer rules, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate
of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined
under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate
of of
15% of the shares sold in our IPO, without our prior consent. However, we would not be restricting our stockholders’ ability
to to
vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination. Your inability to redeem the Excess
Shares will reduce your influence over our ability to complete our initial business combination and you could suffer a material loss
on on
your investment in us if you sell Excess Shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions
with respect to the Excess Shares if we complete our initial business combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number
of shares exceeding 15%15%, and,and in order to dispose of such shares, would be required to sell your shares in open market transactions, potentially
at a loss.
Examples of possible instances
where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular
expertise or skills are believed by management to be superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in
cases where we are unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities
will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements
with us and will not seek recourse against the trust account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, if we have not completed
our initial business combination within the required time period, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our initial
business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against
us within the 10 years following redemption. Accordingly, the per- shareper-share redemption amount received by public stockholders could
be less than the $10.00 per public share initially held in the trust account, due to claims of such creditors.
If, after we distribute
the the
proceeds in the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or
bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable
debtor/ creditor and/or insolvency laws as a voidable performance. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover some or all amounts
received by our stockholders. In addition, our board of directors may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors
and/or having acted in bad faith by paying public stockholders from the trust account prior to addressing the claims of creditors, thereby
exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages.
If, before distributing the proceeds in
the trust account to our public stockholders, we file a winding-up or bankruptcy petition or an involuntary winding-up or
bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the
claims claims
of our stockholders and the per- shareper-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation
may be reduced.
In a private placement in
connection with our IPO, our sponsor purchased 265,000 private placement units, each containing one share of our common stock, one warrant
exercisable to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, and one-eightone-eighth of a
right. Our initial stockholder, our sponsor, currently holds 2,565,000 shares of our common stock. In addition, if our sponsor,
an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our directors and officers make any working capital loans, up to $1,500,000 of such loans may
be converted into units, at the price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. Such units would be identical to the private placement
units. To the extent we issue shares of our common stock to effectuate a business combination, the potential for the issuance of a substantial
number of additional shares of our common stock upon exercise of these warrants or conversion rights could make us a less attractive
acquisition vehicle to a target business. Any such issuance will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock
and reduce the value of the shares of our common stock issued to complete the business combination. Therefore, our warrants and founder
shares may make it more difficult to effectuate a business combination or increase the cost of acquiring the target business.

Pursuant to the Working Capital Note, we may request, and in the sole discretion of the sponsor, the sponsor may loan the Company, loan drawdowns of up to an aggregate of $1,500,000 in principal (“Working Capital Loan”) from time to time, less $11,730 which was advanced prior to the execution of the Working Capital Note, and included as outstanding thereunder, with such amounts to be used for working capital.
Amounts owed under the Working Capital Note do not accrue interest and are payable on the earlier of: (i) the effective date of the consummation of the Company’s initial merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”); or (ii) the date that the winding up of the Company is effective (such date, as applicable, the “Maturity Date”), unless accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Working Capital Note).
Amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Note, are convertible, at the option of the sponsor, into units of the Company (“Working Capital Note Units”), at a conversion price of $10.00 per Working Capital Note Unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Company common stock, one warrant, and one right, with each warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed in connection with its IPO, and each eight rights entitling the holder to receive one share of common stock upon completion of the Business Combination. The Working Capital Note Units will be identical to the private placement units issued to the Sponsor at the time of the Company’s IPO.
In addition, if we are unable to complete a Business Combination by May 22, 2026, unless extended for further 6 months, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. We cannot be assured that our plans to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40 “Going Concern,” we have determined that the potential liquidity shortfall and the mandatory liquidation raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In order to finance transaction
costs in connection with an initial 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”).
If the Company completes an initial business combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the
trust account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the trust
account. In the event that an initial 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. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements
exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of an initial business combination,
without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into units
at a price of $10.00 per unit. The units would be identical to the private placement units. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31,
2023, no such Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
We do not believe we will
need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the
costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial 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 initial business
combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become
obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we
may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such initial business combination.
We have neither engaged
in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from September 30, 2021 (inception) through December 31,
2024,2025, were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below.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 marketable securities 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 year ended December 31, 2025, we had net income of $1,652,360, which consists of interest income on investments held in the trust account of $2,882,889, offset by operating costs of $646,306, provision for income taxes of $579,272, and interest expense of $4,951.
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly-traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we plan to rely on rules which allow us to, among other things, delay the required (i) provision of an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provision of all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) compliance with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) regarding mandatory audit rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclosure of certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our IPO or until we are longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.
For the year ended December 31,
2023, we had a net loss of $184,365, which consists of general and administrative expense.
In November 2023, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (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.
The holders of founder shares,
private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, if any (and any shares of common
stock issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital
Loans (defineNote below under “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence”) and

rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement (discussed
in greater detail belowabove in NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, under
“Registration “ItemRights” 13.to Certainthe Relationshipsnotes andto Relatedfinancial Transactionsstatements. and Director Independence”).
These holders will be entitled to certain demand and “piggy-back”
registration rights. We will bear the expenses incurred
in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
The JOBS Act contains provisions
that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth
company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective
date for private (not publicly-traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as
a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required
for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised
accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, subject to
certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we plan to rely on rules which
allow us to, among other things, delay the required (i) provision of an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal
controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provision of all of the compensation disclosure that may be required
of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) compliance with any
requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) regarding mandatory audit rotation or a supplement
to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis),
and (iv) disclosure certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance
and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years
following the completion of our IPO or until we are longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.
We account for our common
stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in AccountingASC Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
Shares of common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any)
are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value.
Shares of conditionally redeemable common stock (including common
stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control
of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of
uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary
equity. At all other times, shares of common stock are classified
as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption
rights that are considered to be outside of our control and
subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of
December 31, 2024,2025, 6,900,000 shares of common stock subject
to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the
stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.
Net LossIncome Per Common Share
We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as redeemable common stock and non-redeemable common stock. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income per common share is calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period.
We comply with accounting
and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per common share is computed by dividing
net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. We have
not considered the
effect of the warrants sold in the initial public offering and the concurrent private placement to purchase an aggregate
of 6,900,000 7,165,000
warrants to in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury
stock method.
As a result, diluted earnings per common share isare the same as basic earnings per common share for the period.
Net loss per share of common
stock is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We apply the two-class
method in calculating loss per share.

The
significant factors known to us that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results are described
in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 16, 2026. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial
condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results
of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously
disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are incorporated by reference herein.herein, other than as set forth below.
The redemption of approximately 85% of our Public Shares in July 2026 has substantially reduced the amount held in the Trust Account and our public float, which may make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial Business Combination.
In connection with the Annual Meeting held on July 21, 2026, holders of 5,869,285 Public Shares, representing approximately 85% of our outstanding Public Shares, exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. As a result, 1,030,715 Public Shares remain outstanding and the amount held in the Trust Account has been substantially reduced. Less cash is therefore available to fund an initial Business Combination, which may make us a less attractive partner to prospective target businesses, may require us to obtain additional third-party or affiliate financing on terms that may not be favorable to us or that may not be available at all, and may make it more difficult to satisfy any minimum cash condition contained in a definitive agreement for an initial Business Combination. Our reduced public float may also adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our securities and our ability to continue to satisfy the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.
In addition, we expect to remain dependent on our Sponsor to fund the monthly extension payments of $30,921.45 required to extend the Combination Period, as well as our working capital requirements, through the issuance of promissory notes. Our Sponsor is under no obligation to provide such funding and may decline to do so. If our Sponsor does not fund these amounts, we may be unable to extend the Combination Period or to continue operations, in which case we would be required to cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeem the Public Shares and liquidate. In that event, our public stockholders would receive only their pro rata portion of the Trust Account and our warrants and rights would expire worthless.

The
preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, and income
and expenses during the periods reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably
possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited
condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or
more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we
did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
We
account for our common
stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity.”
Shares of common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments
and are measured at fair value.
Shares of conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that feature redemption rights
that are either within the control
of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our
control) are classified as temporary
equity. At all other times, shares of common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity
(deficit). Our common stock features certain
redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence
of uncertain future events. Accordingly,
as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 6,900,000 shares of common stock subject to possible
redemption are presented as temporary
equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of our condensed balance sheets.
