This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on December 5, 2024 as an exempted company with limited liability (meaning our public shareholders have no liability, as shareholders of the company, for the liabilities of the company over and above the amount paid for their shares) to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more target businesses. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of thisthe offering,IPO, our securities, debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt, in effecting a business combination.
The operating costs incurred in the period from
January 18, 2024 (inception) to March 31, 2026 consist primarily of approximately $ 708,857 of professional fees, insurance, costs
and fees associated with our financial reporting, listing and other public company costs. We expect to 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
related to our initial business combination.
For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we
had net income of $325,230,$109,502, which consisted of interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $484,499,$487,635, partially offset by formation
and operating costs of $159,269.$378,133.
For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025,2026, we
had a net lossincome of $85,504,$434,732, which consisted of interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $972,134, partially offset by formation and operating costs of $85,504.$537,402.
On September 29, 2025, the Company entered into a letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) with Forever Young International Limited., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a health industry operator providing comprehensive management and support service solutions for medical institutions in China (“Forever Young”), for a proposed business combination (the “Proposed Business Combination”). Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, the parties have entered into a period of exclusivity in order to negotiate the Company’s acquisition of Forever Young wherein, among other things, the Company agreed not to solicit, negotiate, conduct or commit to conduct any alternative business combination proposal. The Letter of Intent contemplates that the pre-money equity value ascribed to Forever Young will be in the range of approximately $750 million to $900 million, subject to confirmatory due diligence by both parties. The consideration is expected to be comprised of rollover equity to Forever Young’s shareholders in the form of ordinary shares of the post-closing publicly-listed entity, each valued at $10 per share. On January 12, 2026, upon expiration of the exclusivity period set forth in the LOI, the LOI expired without any definitive agreements being executed. The Company does not intend to proceed with the Proposed Business Combination.
On August 11, 2025, the Company consummated its IPO of 5,000,000 units (“Units”), at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $50,000,000. In connection with the IPO, the underwriter was granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 750,000 Units at the Initial Public OfferingIPO price to cover over-allotments, if any. On August 11, 2025, the over-allotment option was exercised, generating gross proceeds of $7,500,000 and deposited into the Trust Account.
Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement,
a total of $57,500,000 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) maintained by Continental Stock Transfer &
Trust Company as a trustee and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money
market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment
Company Act”), and that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except for the withdrawal of interest earned
on the amounts in the trust account to fund the Company’s taxes, if any, or upon the redemption by public shareholders of Ordinary
Shares in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, none
of the funds held in the trust account will be released until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination or the
redemption by the Company of 100% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares issued by the Company in the Initial Public OfferingIPO if the Company
does not consummate an initial business combination within 15 months from August 7, 2025, the effective date of the Registration
Statement.
We currently believesbelieve that it does not need additional capital to satisfy its liquidity needs beyond the net proceeds from the consummation of the IPO and the proceeds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective business combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination. However, if our estimates 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 completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Our sponsor, an affiliate of our sponsor or our officers and directors may, but none of them is obligated to, loan us funds as may be required to fund our working capital requirements. If we complete our initial business combination, we will repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. In the event that our initial 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. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor, an affiliate of our sponsor or our officers and directors, if any, as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account. In addition, if we raise additional funds through equity or convertible debt issuances, our public shareholders may suffer significant dilution, and these securities could have rights that rank senior to our public shares. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness would have rights that are senior to our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operations.
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. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that as of June 30, 2026, that the Company has sufficient funds for the working capital needs of the Company until a minimum of one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. The Company cannot assure that its plans to consummate an initial business combination will be successful. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination 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 time period we have to complete our initial business combination. As a result, management has determined that such an additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Going concern consideration
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Companywe had $58,049
$6,081 in cash and cash equivalents held outside of the Trust Account and working capital deficit of $219,797.$158,336. For the three months ended MarchJune 31,
30, 2026, we had a net income of $325,230,$109,502, which consists of interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $484,499, partially$487,635, offset
by operating costs of $159,269.$378,133. For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025,2026, we had a net lossincome of $85,504,$434,732, which consistedconsists of formation
andinterest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $972,134, offset by operating costs of $85,504.$537,402. 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.
We had a negative cash flow of $106,053 in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, our liquidity requirements have been satisfied through the net proceeds from the IPO, the Private Placement, and loans from our Sponsor pursuant to the Promissory Note II, described below. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant professional fees and costs to maintain our status as a publicly traded company, as well as significant transaction costs in connection with pursuing the consummation of a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, on August 7, 2026, we issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Promissory Note II”) in the principal amount of up to $500,000 to our Sponsor. The Promissory Note II is unsecured, no interest and is repayable by us to the Sponsor in full on the earlier of (i) August 6, 2027 or (ii) the date of consummation of a Business Combination (the “Maturity Date”). The principal balance may be repaid at any time. At any time on or prior to the Maturity Date, the Sponsor may elect to convert the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note II into units of the Company’s securities at a conversion price equal to $10.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one ordinary share and one right to receive one-sixth of one ordinary share. As of June 30, 2026, the principal amount due and owing under the Promissory Note II was $198,432 (see Note 5).
We will have until 15 months from the closing of our IPO to consummate an initial business combination. If we do not consummate an initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of our IPO, we will be required to redeem the public shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve. Accordingly, there is a possibility that an initial business combination may not be completed within the prescribed period of time.
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management has determined that if we are unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of the IPO, the requirement that we cease all operations, redeem the public shares, and thereafter liquidate and dissolve raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the unaudited financial statements are issued. The unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We currently believe that we do not need additional capital to satisfy our liquidity needs beyond the net proceeds from the consummation of the IPO, the proceeds held outside of the Trust Account, and as discussed above, amounts available to us under the Promissory Note II (defined above) for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective business combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Initial Business Combination. However, if our estimates 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 completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Our sponsor, an affiliate of our sponsor or our officers and directors may, but none of them is obligated to, loan us funds as may be required to fund our working capital requirements. If we complete our initial business combination, we will repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the trust account released to us. In the event that our initial 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 loans may be convertible into private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Such units would be identical to the private placement units issued to our sponsor. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our sponsor, an affiliate of our sponsor or our officers and directors, if any, as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our trust account. In addition, if we raise additional funds through equity or convertible debt issuances, our public shareholders may suffer significant dilution, and these securities could have rights that rank senior to our public shares. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness would have rights that are senior to our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operations.
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 holders of the Founder Shares and Private Units
(and their underlying securities) will beare entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement toentered be signedinto prior
to or on the effective date of the Proposed Public Offering,IPO, requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders
of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registersregister such securities.
In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent
to the completion of the initial business combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant
to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration
statements.
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 2% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering,IPO, or $1,000,000 (or $1,150,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full). Additionally, the Company will issue the underwriters 3.5% of the gross proceeds of thisthe offeringIPO as underwriting discounts and commissions in the form the Company’s shares at a price of $10.00 per ordinary share, which will equal 175,000 shares (or 201,250 shares if the underwriter’s overallotment option is exercised in full) upon the consummation of thisthe offering.IPO.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company”, we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (1) provide an independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (2) provide 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, (3) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (4) disclose 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 thisthe offeringIPO or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.
