Removed heading “RISKS RELATED TO THE XTRIBE BUSINESS COMBINATION”
Removed heading “We are not required to, and we have not, obtained a third-party valuation or fairness opinion with respect to the Xtribe Business Combination, and consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the consideration being paid for Xtribe is fair to WinVest stockholders from a financial point of view.”
Removed heading “The Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Xtribe Business Combination, regardless of how WinVest’s public stockholders vote. As a result, no shares of Public Stock must be voted in favor of the Business Combination for it to be approved.”
Removed heading “We cannot assure you that our due diligence review has identified all material risks associated with the Xtribe Business Combination, and you may be less protected as an investor from any material issues with respect to Xtribe’s business, including any material omissions or misstatements made with respect to the Xtribe Business Combination, than an investor in an initial public offering.”
Removed heading “We have incurred and expect to continue incur significant costs associated with the Xtribe Business Combination.

Removed heading “The consummation of the Xtribe Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions, and if those conditions are not satisfied or are waived, the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Xtribe Business Combination may not be completed.

Removed heading “We may be unable to consummate the Xtribe Business Combination if we have insufficient cash at closing, in which case our public stockholders may have to remain stockholders of WinVest and wait until our redemption of the Public Stock to receive a pro rata share of the Trust Account or attempt to sell their shares in the open market.”

If
we are unable to consummate our Initial Business Combination, our public stockholders may be forced to wait until JuneSeptember 17, 2025 2026
(if we
extend the period of time to consummate a business combination by the full amount of time) before receiving distributions
from the Trust
Account.
We
have until JuneSeptember 17, 20252026 (if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination by the full amount of time) to
consummate consummate
our Initial Business Combination. We may not be able to find a suitable target business and consummate 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. We have no obligation to
return funds to investors prior
to such date unless we consummate our Initial Business Combination prior thereto or we seek to amend
our Certificate of Incorporation
prior to the consummation of our Initial Business Combination and only then in cases where
investors have sought to convert their shares.
Only after the expiration of this full time period will holders of our Common Stock
be entitled to distributions from the Trust Account
if we are unable to complete our Initial Business Combination. Accordingly,
investors’ funds may be unavailable to them until after
such date and to liquidate an investment, public security holders may
be forced to sell their shares of Common Stock or Warrants, potentially
at a loss.
In
connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s
Accounting Accounting
Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going
Concern,”
if we are unable to complete a business combination by JuneSeptember 17, 20252026 (as such date may be extended pursuant to
the terms of our Certificate
of Incorporation), our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we must cease all operations except
for the purpose of liquidating.
The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements contained elsewhere in this report do not include any adjustments
that might result from our inability to continue
as a going concern.
Our
Current Charter provides that it will continue in existence only until JuneSeptember 17, 2025.2026. If we are unable to consummate a
transaction within
the required time period and do not extend the Termination Date pursuant to the Charter Extension Amendment
approved by our stockholders
at the DecemberMarch 20242026 Extension Meeting, upon notice from us, the trustee of the Trust Account will
distribute the amount in our Trust
Account to our public stockholders. Concurrently, we shall pay, or reserve for payment, from
funds not held in trust, our liabilities
and obligations, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such
purpose. However, we may not properly assess
all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our stockholders could
potentially be liable for any claims to the extent
of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our
stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of
the date of distribution. Accordingly, third parties may seek to
recover from our stockholders amounts owed to them by us.
If
we have not completed our Initial Business Combination by JuneSeptember 17, 20252026 (if we extend the period of time to consummate a
business combination
by the full amount of time), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as
promptly as reasonably possible
but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Stock for a
pro rata portion of the funds held
in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution
expenses), which redemption will completely
extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to
receive further liquidation distributions, if any),
subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible
following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining
holders of Common Stock and our board of directors, dissolve and
liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations
under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors
and the requirements of other applicable law. We may not properly assess all claims
that may be potentially brought against us. As
such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions
received by them (but no more) and
any liability of our stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of the date of distribution.
Accordingly, third
parties may seek to recover from our stockholders amounts owed to them by us.
The
requirement that a target business has a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred
underwriting discounts and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement
for our Initial Business Combination may limit the type and number of companies that we may complete such a business combination with.
Pursuant
to the Nasdaq listing rules, our Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses having an aggregate fair
market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and
taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our Initial Business
Combination. This restriction may limit the type and number of companies that we may complete a business combination with. If we are
unable to locate a target business or businesses that satisfy this fair market value test, we may be forced to liquidate, and you will
only be entitled to receive your pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. If we are no longer listed on Nasdaq, we will not
be required to satisfy the 80% test.
A
potential target may make it a closing condition to our Initial Business Combination that we have a certain amount of cash available
at the time of closing. If the number of our public stockholders electing to exercise their conversion rights has the effect of
reducing reducing
the amount of money available to us to consummate an Initial Business Combination below such minimum amount required by the
target business
and we are not able to locate an alternative source of funding, we will not be able to consummate such Initial
Business Combination and
we may not be able to locate another suitable target within the applicable time period, if at all. In that
case, public stockholders
may have to remain stockholders of our company and wait until JuneSeptember 17, 20252026 in order to be able to
receive a portion of the Trust Account,
or attempt to sell their shares in the open market prior to such time, in which case they
may receive less than they would have in a
liquidation of the Trust Account.
We
may not hold an annual meeting of stockholders until after the consummation of our Initial Business Combination. Our failure to hold
an annual meeting of stockholders may result in our securities being delisted.
Pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a), we are required to hold an annual meeting within one year of the end of each fiscal year (the “Annual
Meeting Requirement”). We did not hold an annual meeting within twelve months of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Accordingly,
on January 27, 2025, we received a written notice from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying us that
we no longer comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) for continued listing due to such failure to hold an annual meeting of stockholders.
We presented our views to The Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) with respect to the Annual Meeting Requirement in writing
on February 3, 2025. We intend to hold a meeting of shareholders within twelve months of completing our Initial Business Combination.
Additionally,
underUnder Section 211(b) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, we are required to hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the purposes
of electing directors in accordance with
our bylaws unless such election is made by written consent in lieu of such a meeting. We have
not held an annual meeting of stockholders
to date, and it is unlikely that there will be an annual meeting of stockholders to elect
new directors prior to the consummation of
our Initial Business Combination. Accordingly, we are not currently and may not in the future
be in compliance with Section 211(b) of
the Delaware General Corporation Law, which requires an annual meeting. Therefore, if our stockholders
want us to hold an annual meeting
prior to the consummation of our Initial Business Combination, they may attempt to force us to hold
one by submitting an application
to the Delaware Court of Chancery in accordance with Section 211(c) of the Delaware General Corporation
Law.
We
can provide no assurances that an Initial Business Combination will be consummated prior to JuneSeptember 17, 2025.2026. Our ability to
consummate consummate
an Initial Business Combination is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. In connection
with the votes
to approve the Extension Amendments, the holders of an aggregate of 11,241,22211,279,964 shares of our Public Stock properly
exercised their right
to redeem their shares for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $116.2$116 million since the
Company’s inception. We will
be required to offer stockholders redemption rights again in connection with any stockholder vote
to approve an Initial Business Combination.
Even if an Initial Business Combination is approved by our stockholders, it is possible
that redemptions will leave us with insufficient
cash to consummate an Initial Business Combination on commercially acceptable
terms, or at all. Other than in connection with a redemption
offer or liquidation, our stockholders may be unable to recover their
investment except through sales of our Public Stock on the open
market. The price of our Public Stock may be volatile, and there can
be no assurance that stockholders will be able to dispose of their
Public Stock at favorable prices, or at all.
We
have until JuneSeptember 17, 20252026 (if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination by the full amount of time) to
complete complete
our Initial Business Combination. Any potential target business with which we enter into negotiations concerning a business
combination combination
will be aware of this requirement. Consequently, such target business may obtain leverage over us in negotiating a
business combination,
knowing that if we do not complete a business combination with that particular target business, we may be
unable to complete a business
combination with any other target business. This risk will increase as we get closer to the time limit
referenced above. In addition,
we may have limited time to conduct due diligence and may enter into our Initial Business Combination
on terms that we would have rejected
upon a more comprehensive investigation.
We
arewere required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules to consummate an Initial Business Combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of our
Initial Initial
Public Offering registration statement. As a result of our failure to consummate an Initial Business Combination within this
time period,
our securities couldwere be subject to delisting.delisted.
Pursuant
to IM-5101-2(b) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we mustwere required to consummate an Initial Business Combination within 36 months of the
effectiveness effectiveness
of our Initial Public Offering registration statement, or by September 14, 2024 (the “Nasdaq Deadline”).
We did not complete
our Initial Business Combination prior to the Nasdaq Deadline. As a result, we arewere in violation of Nasdaq
IM-5101-2.
As
previously reported, on September 17, 2024, we received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department
of Nasdaq indicating that we had failed to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules IM-5101-2. On September 24, 2024, we timely requested a hearing
before the Panel to appeal the Notice. Our hearing before the Panel was held on November 12, 2024. On December 17, 2024, we received
a written notice from the Office of General Counsel of Nasdaq informing us that the Panel had granted the Company’s request to
continue its listing on Nasdaq until March 17, 2025 (the “Nasdaq Extension Date”). The Panel’s decision allowsallowed our
securities to remain listed on Nasdaq through the Nasdaq Extension Date, provided that we complycomplied with certain conditions, including that
we will have completed our Initial Business Combination on or before the Nasdaq Extension Date, and that the combined company will have
demonstrated compliance with all applicable requirements for an initial listing on Nasdaq.
We did not complete an initial business combination by March 17, 2025. As such, we received a written notice from the NASDAQ panel on March 18, 2025 indicating that the Panel had determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and that trading in WinVest’s securities would be suspended at the open of trading on March 20, 2025, due to the Company’s failure to satisfy the terms of the Panel’s Decision, including the requirement that the Company will have completed the Business Combination on or before the Extended Date. The following material consequence may occur as a result of our delisting:
Although
the Panel granted our request, the extension of our Certificate of Incorporation’s Termination Date to June 17, 2025, exceeds the
Nasdaq Extension Date. If we do not complete an initial business combination prior to the expiration of the Nasdaq Extension Date, Nasdaq
may issue a Staff Delisting Determination under Rule 5810 to delist our securities. If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on
its exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
See
“Item 1A. – Risk Factors – Nasdaq may delist our securities from quotation on its exchange, which could limit investors’
ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.”
Nasdaq
mayhas delistdelisted our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our
securities securities
and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
Our securities ceased being listed on Nasdaq, which is a national securities exchange, starting on March 20, 2025. As a result, investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities is limited. Further, as a result of the delisting we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
Our
securities are currently listed on Nasdaq, a national securities exchange. We cannot assure you that our securities 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 stock price levels. Generally, we must
maintain a minimum amount in stockholders’ equity (generally $2,500,000) and a minimum number of holders of our securities (generally
300 round lot 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. For instance, our stock price would generally be required to be at least
$4.00 per share, our stockholders’ equity would generally be required to be at least $5.0 million and we would be required to have
a minimum of 300 round lot holders (with at least 50% of such round lot holding securities with a market value of at last $2,500) of
our securities, and we would be required to have $15.0 million market value of publicly held shares. We cannot assure you that we will
be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time. Additionally, we have received separate delisting notices with respect
to (i) our failure to comply with the Annual Meeting Requirement and (ii) our failure to consummate our Initial Business Combination
by the Nasdaq Deadline. Although Nasdaq has allowed our securities to remain listed on Nasdaq through the Nasdaq Extension Date, our
securities could be subject to delisting (a) as a result of our noncompliance with the Annual Meeting Requirement or (b) if we fail to
complete our Initial Business Combination by the Nasdaq Extension Date. See “Risk Factors - Risks Relating to our Search for,
Consummation of, or Inability to Consummate, a Business Combination and Post-Business Combination Risks - We may not hold an annual meeting
of stockholders until after the consummation of our Initial Business Combination. Our failure to hold an annual meeting of stockholders
may result in our securities being delisted,” and “Risk Factors - Risks Relating to our Search for, Consummation of,
or Inability to Consummate, a Business Combination and Post-Business Combination Risks - We are required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules
to consummate an Initial Business Combination within 36 months of the effectiveness of our Initial Public Offering registration statement.
As a result of our failure to consummate an Initial Business Combination within this time period, our securities could be subject to
delisting.
If
our securities do not meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange.
If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
The
National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the
sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because our Common Stock, Units, Rights and
Warrants Warrants
are no longer listed on Nasdaq, they currentlydo not qualify as covered securities under such statute. IfThus, we were no longer listed on Nasdaq,as our securities do
would not qualify as covered securities under such statute and we wouldmay be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our
securities.
During the preparation of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting related to its Trust Account withdrawals. In 2023, the Company withdrew $898,940 of interest and dividend income earned in the Trust Account, which was restricted for payment of the Company’s tax liabilities as provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. In the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company withdrew $40,050 of interest and dividend income earned in the Trust Account and received a tax refund of $104,305 that was previously paid with the interest and dividend income earned on the Trust Account. During the year ended December 31, 2024, a portions of these funds were inadvertently used for the payments of general operating expenses. Such amounts were disbursed without appropriate review and approval to ensure that the disbursements were made in accordance with the Trust Agreement. As a result of this issue, management concluded that a material weakness exists in our internal control over financial reporting related to the review and approval of cash disbursements. Please refer to Item 9A in this report for additiona information regarding our internal controls over financial reporting.
RISKS
RELATED TO THE XTRIBE BUSINESS COMBINATION
We
are not required to, and we have not, obtained a third-party valuation or fairness opinion with respect to the Xtribe Business Combination,
and consequently, you may have no assurance from an independent source that the consideration being paid for Xtribe is fair to WinVest
stockholders from a financial point of view.
We
are not required to, and we have not, obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that the consideration being paid
for Xtribe in the Xtribe Business Combination is fair to WinVest stockholders from a financial point of view. The fair market value of
Xtribe has been determined by the WinVest board of directors based upon WinVest’s evaluation of Xtribe’s business, due diligence
materials, and the experience of WinVest’s directors, officers and advisory board members.
Accordingly,
WinVest stockholders will be relying on the judgment of our board of directors with respect to such matters and assuming the risk that
the board of directors may not have properly valued the business. The lack of a third-party valuation or fairness opinion may also lead
an increased number of stockholders to demand redemption of their shares for cash in connection with the vote on the Xtribe Business
Combination, which could potentially impact our ability to consummate the Xtribe Business Combination.
The
Sponsor has agreed to vote in favor of the Xtribe Business Combination, regardless of how WinVest’s public stockholders vote. As
a result, no shares of Public Stock must be voted in favor of the Business Combination for it to be approved.
The
Sponsor and our other initial stockholders have agreed to vote any shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Xtribe Business
Combination. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, a total of 2,537,424 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 81.0% of
our outstanding shares, were subject to a support agreement requiring such shares to be voted in favor of the Xtribe Business Combination.
As a result, no shares of Public Stock must be voted in favor of the Xtribe Business Combination to be approved.
We
cannot assure you that our due diligence review has identified all material risks associated with the Xtribe Business Combination, and
you may be less protected as an investor from any material issues with respect to Xtribe’s business, including any material omissions
or misstatements made with respect to the Xtribe Business Combination, than an investor in an initial public offering.
Before
entering into the Business Combination Agreement, we performed a due diligence review of Xtribe and its business and operations; however,
we cannot assure you that our due diligence review identified all material issues, and certain unexpected risks may arise and previously
known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Additionally, the scope of due diligence we
have conducted in conjunction with the Xtribe Business Combination may be different than would typically be conducted in the event Xtribe
pursued an underwritten initial public offering. In a typical initial public offering, the underwriters of the offering conduct due diligence
on the company to be taken public, and following the offering, the underwriters are subject to liability to private investors for any
material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement filed with respect to such initial public offering. While potential
investors in an initial public offering typically have a private right of action against the underwriters of the offering for any such
material misstatements or omissions, there are no underwriters of the securities that will be issued in connection with the Xtribe Business
Combination and thus no corresponding right of action is available to investors in connection with the Xtribe Business Combination for
any material misstatements or omissions made in connection with the Xtribe Business Combination. Therefore, if you remain an investor
in the combined company following the Xtribe Business Combination, you may be exposed to future losses, impairment charges, write-downs,
write-offs or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on the combined company’s financial condition, results
of operations and the share price of its securities, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment without certain recourse
against any underwriter that may be available in an underwritten public offering.
We
have incurred and expect to continue incur significant costs associated with the Xtribe Business Combination. Whether or not the Xtribe
Business Combination is completed, the incurrence of these costs will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate
purposes by WinVest if the Xtribe Business Combination is not completed.
We
have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs associated with the Xtribe Business Combination, regardless of whether
or not the Xtribe Business Combination is completed. These expenses will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate
purposes by WinVest if the Xtribe Business Combination is not completed. If the Xtribe Business Combination is not consummated, we may
not have sufficient funds to seek an alternative Initial Business Combination and may be forced to liquidate and dissolve.
The
consummation of the Xtribe Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions, and if those conditions are not satisfied or are
waived, the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Xtribe Business Combination may not
be completed. Such termination could negatively impact Xtribe and WinVest.
Pursuant
to the Business Combination Agreement, the closing of the Xtribe Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions, including
approval of the proposals required to effect the Xtribe Business Combination by WinVest’s stockholders at the stockholder meeting
called for such purpose, receipt of certain regulatory approvals, the effectiveness of the registration statement registering the shares
to be issued in connection with the Xtribe Business Combination, approval of the listing of the combined company’s securities on
Nasdaq, the accuracy of the representations and warranties by Xtribe and WinVest (subject to the materiality standards set forth in the
Business Combination Agreement) and the performance by Xtribe and WinVest of their covenants and agreements (subject to the materiality
standards set forth in the Business Combination Agreement). These closing conditions may not be fulfilled in a timely manner or at all,
and, accordingly, the Xtribe Business Combination may not be completed. In addition, Xtribe and WinVest can mutually decide to terminate
the Business Combination Agreement at any time, before or after any equity holder approvals, or Xtribe or WinVest may elect to terminate
the Business Combination Agreement in certain other circumstances.
If
the Xtribe Business Combination is not completed for any reason, including as a result of WinVest’s stockholders declining to approve
the proposals required to effect the Xtribe Business Combination, WinVest would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:
If
the Business Combination Agreement is terminated and our board of directors seeks another merger or business combination, WinVest stockholders
cannot be certain that we will be able to find another acquisition target that would constitute a business combination or that such other
merger or business combination will be completed.
We
may be unable to consummate the Xtribe Business Combination if we have insufficient cash at closing, in which case our public stockholders
may have to remain stockholders of WinVest and wait until our redemption of the Public Stock to receive a pro rata share of the Trust
Account or attempt to sell their shares in the open market.
As
a condition to the obligation of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement to consummate the Xtribe Business Combination, our
cash and cash equivalents at closing shall not be less than $15.0 million. If the number of our public stockholders electing to exercise
their redemption rights has the effect of reducing the amount of money available to us to consummate the Xtribe Business Combination
below $15.0 million and we are not able to locate alternative sources of funding, we may be unable to consummate the Xtribe Business
Combination and we may not be able to locate another suitable target within the applicable time period, if at all. In that case, our
public stockholders may have to remain stockholders of WinVest and wait until the Termination Date in order to be able to receive a portion
of the Trust Account, or attempt to sell their shares in the open market prior to such time, in which case they may receive less than
they would have in a liquidation of the Trust Account.

activities through December 31, 2024,2025, were
related to our organizational activities, preparation for our Initial Public Offering,
and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying
a target company for an Initial Business Combination and working to consummate
our Initial Business Combination with Xtribe.Xtribe (which has been terminated). We will
not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our Initial
Business Combination. Subsequent to our Initial Public Offering
on September 17, 2021, we generate non-operating income in the form
of interest on cash and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account,
and prior to the liquidation of the money market funds held in
the Trust Account in January 2025, we generated dividend income on such
money market funds. We incur ongoing expenses as a result of
being a public company for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing
compliance, as well as for due diligence
expenses.

the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, our net
loss was $1,414,690 and expenses from operating activities were $1,500,541, as compared to
a net loss of $2,231,950 and expenses from operating activities were $2,572,890, as compared to a net loss of $1,147,608 and expenses from
operating activities of $1,764,719$2,572,890 for the year ended December 31, 2023.2024. These increases decreases
were mainly due to ana increasedecrease in legal and
professional fees for the years ended December 31, 2024,2025, as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2023,2024, due to efforts being made to
complete our Initial Business Combination with Xtribe.Xtribe (which has been terminated).
We intend to use our operating cash held outside the Trust Account primarily to
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 an Initial Business Combination.

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $2,040,000 and $1,680,000, respectively, was outstanding under the Extension Notes.
As of December 31, 2024, we had cash held in
the Trust Account of approximately $3.1 million. We intend to use substantially all of the remaining funds held in the Trust Account,
including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, which interest shall be net of taxes payable, to complete our
Initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses,
if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to consummate an Initial 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.
The
accompanying financial statements have been
prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which assumes the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had not commenced any operations.
All activity for the years ended December
31, 2024,2025, and 20232024 relates to identifying a target company for an Initial Business Combination
and working to consummate our Initial
Business Combination with Xtribe. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion
of the Initial Business Combination,
at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest on cash and cash equivalents
held in the Trust Account, and
prior to the liquidation of the money market funds held in the Trust Account in January 2025, we generated
dividend income on such money
market funds. Our ability to commence operations is contingent upon consummating an Initial Business Combination.
We currently have until
March April 17, 20252026 to consummate our Initial Business Combination, which is 42 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering.
We will not be able to consummate our Initial Business Combination by March 17, 2025.Combination.
Management’s
plan to address the March
April 17, 20252026 liquidation is to extend the liquidation period by one month increments by depositing $30,000 into
the Trust Account each month
for a total of up to threefive additional months to extend the liquidation period to JuneSeptember 17, 2025 from March 17, 2025. Management intends
to close its Initial Business Combination with Xtribe by June 17, 2025.2026.
To the extent we are unable to consummate an
Initial Business Combination, we will need to pay the costs of liquidation from our current available funds outside the Trust Account,
including the approximate amount of $95,500 still available to us under the October 2023 Promissory Note as of December 31, 2024,
and $990,500 still available to us under the January 2025 Promissory Note as of the date of this report, and from up to $100,000
of interest income on the balance of the Trust Account (net of income and other tax obligations) that may be released to us to pay for
dissolution expenses. If such funds are insufficient, our Sponsor has agreed to pay the funds necessary to complete such liquidation
and has agreed not to seek repayment of such expenses. Based on these circumstances, management has determined that there is substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to insufficient liquidity, the uncertainty of liquidity requirements and the
mandatory liquidation date within one year.
Accordingly, the The
accompanying financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as
a going concern and the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As of December 31, 2025, we adopted ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes-Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. We do not believe the adoption of the new standard, which requires additional tax related disclosure, had a material impact on our financial statements. Further, we do not believe there are any other accounting pronouncements that would materially impact our financial statements.
In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“ASU 2022-03”).
The amendments in ASU 2022-03 clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the
unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an
entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments in this update also
require additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The provisions in this update are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 for public business entities. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect to early
adopt this ASU. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our balance sheets, results of operations and cash
flows.
ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information
about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The new standard is effective
for public entities with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and should be applied prospectively
with the option of retrospective application. We do not expect to early adopt this ASU. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting
this guidance on our balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows.
We do not believe that any other recently issued,
but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

MarchJune 31,30, 2026, related to our formation, raising funds through our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for an Initial
Business Combination and working to consummate our Initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after
the completion of the Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest on cash
and cash equivalents held in the Trust Account, and prior to the liquidation of the money market funds held in the Trust Account in January
2025, we generated dividend income on such money market funds.
Through
the date of this report, the Company has deposited $2,190,000$2,280,000
into the Trust Account in connection with six drawdowns under the First Extension Note, six drawdowns under Second Extension Note,
six six
drawdowns under the Third Extension Note, six drawdowns under the Forth Extension Note, six drawdowns under the Fifth Extension
Note, Note,
three drawdowns under the Sixth Extension Note, six drawdowns under the Seventh Extension Note and threesix drawdowns under the
eighth extension
note (collectively the “Extension Notes”). Such amounts will be distributed either to: (i) all the
holders of Public Shares
upon the Company’s liquidation or (ii) holders of such shares who elect to have their shares redeemed
in connection with (a) a
vote to approve certain specified amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or (b) the
consummation of an Initial
Business Combination. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $2,130,000$2,220,000 and
$2,040,000, respectively,
was outstanding under the Extension Notes.
All
activities through MarchJune 31,30, 2026 were related to our organizational activities, preparation for our Initial Public Offering, and, after
our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for an Initial Business Combination and working to consummate our Initial Business
Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our Initial Business Combination. Subsequent to our
Initial Public Offering on September 17, 2021, we generate non-operating income in the form of interest on cash and cash equivalents
held in the Trust Account, and prior to the liquidation of the money market funds held in the Trust Account in January 2025, we generated
dividend income on such money market funds. There has been no significant change in our trading position and no material adverse change
has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements. We incur ongoing 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 threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, our net loss was $166,306$275,598 and expenses from operating activities were $182,989,$308,303, as compared to a
a net loss of $708,544$1,000,101 and expenses from operating activities of $730,258$1,044,175 for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. These decreases were
were mainly due to a decrease in legal and professional fees for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, as compared to the threesix months
ended March 31,June
30, 2025 due to efforts being made to complete our Initial Business Combination in the prior year. We intend to use our operating cash
cash held outside the Trust Account and any funds that we may borrow under promissory notes issued to our Sponsor primarily to evaluate target
target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations
locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective
prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete an Initial Business Combination.
As
of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had $49,845$1,516 in our operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $7,811,677,$8,028,823, as compared to $111 in our
operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $7,693,418 as of December 31, 2025. Our liquidity needs prior to the consummation
of the Initial Public Offering had been satisfied through proceeds from advances from a related party, our Sponsor, and from the issuance
of Common Stock. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds
from the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the proceeds from our Sponsor’s purchase of Private Placement Warrants held
outside of our Trust Account and loans from the Sponsor. We believe we will need to access additional liquidity in order to consummate
an Initial Business Combination.
On
March 16, 2021, we issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor, which note was amended on March 27, 2022 (the “March 2021
Promissory Note”), pursuant to which we may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000, of which $300,000 was outstanding
under the March 2021 Promissory Note as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The March 2021 Promissory Note is non-interest bearing
and payable on the date on which we consummate an Initial Business Combination. The Sponsor may elect to convert any portion or all of
the amount outstanding under the March 2021 Promissory Note into warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price
of $0.50 per warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one-half share of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$11.50 per whole share, commencing on the date of our Initial Business Combination. No such conversions have yet occurred. During 2023,
we effected drawdowns of $300,000 under the March 2021 Promissory Note. These amounts remain outstanding as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. The purpose
of each drawdown is for the payment of expenses associated with operations and those necessary to initiate an Initial Business Combination.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which assumes the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had not
commenced any operations. All activity since inception relates to identifying a target company for an Initial Business Combination
and working to consummate our Initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion
of the Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and
cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering, and prior to the liquidation of the money market funds
held in the Trust Account in January 2025, we generated dividend income on such money market funds. Our ability to commence
operations is contingent upon consummating an Initial Business Combination. We currently have until MaySeptember 17, 2026 to consummate
our our
Initial Business Combination, which can be extended to September 17, 2026, assuming the extension requirements are met.Combination. Our plan to
address the MaySeptember 17, 2026 liquidation is to extend as needed to provide sufficient
time to consummate our Initial Business
Combination.
To
the extent we are unable to consummate an Initial Business Combination, we will need to pay the costs of liquidation from our current
available funds outside the Trust Account, including the approximate amount of $786,844 still available to us under the January 2025
Promissory Note as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and from up to $100,000 of interest income on the balance of the Trust Account (net of income and
other tax obligations) that may be released to us to pay for dissolution expenses. If such funds are insufficient, our Sponsor has agreed
to pay the funds necessary to complete such liquidation and has agreed not to seek repayment of such expenses. Based on these circumstances,
management has determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to insufficient liquidity,
the uncertainty of liquidity requirements and the mandatory liquidation date within one year.
We
do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026,
other than an agreement to pay our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, secretarial, and administrative support services
provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on September 14, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the
earlier of the completion of an Initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation.
As
of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K. 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.
