including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations” regarding the completion of the Proposed 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”

We
completed our Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) on December 5, 2025 raising $230,000,000 toward identifying a target company
for a Business Combination. Since the IPO,Initial Public Offering, we have been evaluating and engaging in dialog with potential acquisition candidates. We do
not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination. We currently generate non-operating
income in the form of interest income on investments held in the Trust Account, but such interest cannot be used for ongoing operating
or targeting activities. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing
compliance, among other things). We also incur costs for administration and target evaluation. We will incur expenses for due diligence
at the time an acquisition target is being pursued.
For
the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had net income of $1,775,303,$1,853,826, which consisted of interest earned on cash and investments held
in Trust Account of $2,055,810,$2,081,699, partially offset by generaloperational and administrative costcosts – third parties of $280,507.$115,373 and operational and administrative costs – related parties of $112,500.

For the period from June 27, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025, we had no net income (loss).
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $230,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred transaction costs totaling $14,360,472, consisting of $4,600,000 of cash underwriting fee, $9,200,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $560,472 of other offering costs.

cash for operating activities.
For the period from June 27, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025, no cash provided (used) in operating activities.
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 funds as may be required. If we complete a Business
Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. 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 loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for
such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such workingWorking capitalCapital loansLoans may be convertible into Private Placement Units of the post-Business Combination
entity at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The Private Placement Units issued upon conversion of any such loans
would be identical to the Private Placement Units sold in a private placement concurrently with the Initial Public Offering. As of March
31,June 30, 2026, no workingWorking capitalCapital loansLoans were outstanding.
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.
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor $25,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support services provided to members of the management team and an agreement to pay a family member of our Chief Executive Officer to provide management and consulting services in connection with our search for a potential Business Combination target for a $37,500 engagement fee and a recurring fee of $12,500 per month for up to 24 months. The administrative agreement continues through the date of a Business Combination or liquidation; the consulting agreement can be terminated at any time.
The
preparation of the unaudited 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 unaudited financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Making estimates requires management to exercise
significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances
that existed at the date of the unaudited 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.
