0001641172-25-003384Year-over-year tone shift - average net-tone change across Risk Factors and MD&A vs the prior 10-K. This filing is -0.21pp more bearish than last year's.
Why YoY instead of absolute: the LM lexicon has ~6.6× more negative words than positive (legal/risk-disclosure language is heavy on hedging), so every 10-K reads bearish on raw tone. Year-over-year change strips that bias and surfaces the actual shift in management's framing.
Tone shift by section
The two components the gauge averages: how Risk Factors and MD&A each shifted in net tone versus last year's 10-K. The headline above is their average, so a green needle over a soft section just means the other section carried it.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item. Therefore, the information under this section may not be complete. We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Annual Report are any of the risks described in our final prospectus for our Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC. 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 Annual Report, except as follows, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus dated February 15, 2022 filed with the SEC. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
We may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), and ultimately prohibited.
The time required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete our initial business combination, and the costs associated with this process, are not currently ascertainable with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which our initial business combination is not ultimately completed will result in our incurring losses and will reduce the funds we can use to complete another business combination.
FutureTech Partners II LLC (the “Sponsor”) was previously controlled by a non-U.S. person and had substantial ties with non-U.S. persons in China. Currently, our Sponsor is controlled by a U.S. person and we do not believe that either we or the Sponsor constitute a “foreign person” under CFIUS rules and regulations. Our Sponsor owns approximately 69.1% of our outstanding shares. In addition, our PIPE Investor (defined below) is not a U.S. person; however, the PIPE Investor will not own more than 5% of the post-closing company after the Closing of the Merger with Longevity and the PIPE Investor shall not have governance or decision-making right. Certain companies requiring federal-issued licenses in the United States, such as broadcasters and airlines, may be subject to rules or regulations that limit foreign ownership. In addition, CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States. Therefore, because we may be considered a “foreign person” under such rules and regulations, we could be subject to foreign ownership restrictions and/or CFIUS review if our proposed business combination is between us and a U.S. target company engaged in a regulated industry or which may affect national security. The scope of CFIUS was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”) to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subject certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. Therefore, if our potential initial business combination with a U.S. target company falls within the scope of foreign ownership restrictions, we may be unable to consummate a business combination with such target company. In addition, if our potential business combination falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company if we had proceeded without first obtaining CFIUS clearance. The foreign ownership limitations, and the potential impact of CFIUS, may limit the attractiveness of a transaction with us or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our stockholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues.
Moreover, the process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete our initial business combination (24 months, or up to 33 months, if we extend the time to complete a business combination) our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public stockholders may only receive $10.20 per share initially, and our warrants would expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.
If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would expect to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead to liquidate the Company.
There is currently some uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”) to a SPAC, including a company like ours. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company.
If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. We do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. However, if we are deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. As a result, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial Business Combination and instead liquidate the Company. Were we to liquidate, our warrants would expire worthless, and our securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of our securities.
To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, in February 2024, we instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following such liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, we will receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account than we would have received had we not liquidated such investments in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.
Until February 2024, the funds in the Trust Account had been, since our IPO, held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, in February 2024, we instructed the trustee to instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation. Following such liquidation, we may receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account than the interest we would have received pursuant to our original Trust Account investments; however, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. Consequently, the transfer of the funds in the Trust Account into an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank in February 2024 could reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or our liquidation.
In the event that we are deemed to be an investment company, despite the change in investments in the Trust Account, we may be required to liquidate the Company, and the longer the period before the investment change, the greater the risk of being considered an investment company.
We have incurred and expect to incur significant costs associated with the business combination. Whether or not the business combination is completed, the incurrence of these costs will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by us if the business combination is not completed.
We expect to incur significant transaction and transition costs associated with the business combination and operating as a public company following the closing of the business combination. We may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. Certain transaction expenses incurred in connection with the business combination, include all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, and will be paid by the combined company following the closing of the business combination. Even if the business combination is not completed, we expect to incur transactions expenses. These expenses will reduce the amount of cash available to be used for other corporate purposes by us if the business combination is not completed.
A new 1% U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on us in connection with future redemptions by us of our shares.
On August 16, 2022, the IR Act was signed into federal law which provides for, among other things, a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchased by a U.S. corporation beginning in 2023, subject to certain exceptions. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased. The U.S. Department of the Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. It is unclear at this time how and to what extent it will apply to SPAC redemptions and liquidations, but since we are a publicly listed Delaware corporation, we are a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the IR Act. Consequently, our Board believes that, absent additional guidance and unless an exception is available, there is a significant risk that this excise tax will apply to any redemptions of our public shares after December 31, 2022. The Company confirms that amounts placed in the Trust Account in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and any Extension Payments, as well as any interest earned thereon, will not be used to pay for the Excise Tax.
Company’s Combination Period ending on August 18, 2025 contravened Nasdaq rules and, as a result, Nasdaq suspended trading Company’s securities or delisted Company’s securities from Nasdaq on February 26, 2025. The Company expects that Nasdaq will file a Form 25-NSE with the SEC to delist its securities, and the Company’s securities will be quoted on the over-the-counter market. The Company’s common stock would be deemed a “penny” stock and the Company may become subject to the requirements of Rule 419. This may adversely affect the liquidity and trading of our securities and may impact our ability to complete a business combination.
Nasdaq IM-5101-2 requires that Company, a special purpose acquisition company, complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its initial public offering registration statement, which, in the case of Company, would be February 14, 2025. The Company’s Combination Period ending on August 18, 2025 contravenes Nasdaq IM-5101-2 and, as a result, on February 26, 2025 Nasdaq suspended trading Company’s securities. The Company expects that Nasdaq will file a Form 25-NSE with the SEC to delist its securities, and that the delisting will become effective ten (10) days after Nasdaq files the Form 25-NSE with the SEC to complete the delisting. The Company’s common stock will be quoted on the over-the-counter market and would be deemed a “penny” stock and the Company may become subject to the requirements of Rule 419. This may adversely affect the liquidity and trading of our securities and may impact our ability to complete a business combination. Company intends to make a listing application for the securities of the combined company to be traded on Nasdaq. However, there is no guarantee that such listing application will be successful.
Other potential material adverse consequences of being quoted on the over-the-counter market include:
● a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
● reduced liquidity for our securities;
● a determination that our shares of common stock are a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our shares of common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
● a limited amount of news and analyst coverage;
● a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; and
● the Company may be deemed a less attractive merger partner for a target company or business.
The “penny stock” rules are burdensome and may reduce the trading activity for shares of the Company’s common stock. For example, brokers trading in shares of Company’s common stock would be required to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. The broker dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker dealer and any salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to effecting a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for Company’s common stock, and the holders of shares of Company’s common stock may find it more difficult to sell their shares.
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.” Since Company’s common stock and public warrants are listed on Nasdaq, such securities qualify as covered securities under such statute. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of covered securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if the common stock, and public warrants were no longer listed on Nasdaq, these securities would not qualify as covered securities under such statute and Company would be subject to regulation in each state in which it offers its securities.
We also note that the fact that Company’s securities are not listed on Nasdaq may present certain challenges to listing the post Business Combination combined company’s securities on Nasdaq.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on August 19, 2021. We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We are an emerging growth company and, as such, we are subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Warrants, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial Business Combination will be successful.
Extension of Combination Period and Extension Loans
As approved by our stockholders at the special meeting of stockholders held on August 17, 2023 (the “First Extension Meeting”), we entered into an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of February 18, 2022 (the “Trust Agreement”), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), on August 17, 2023 (the “Trust Amendment”). The Trust Amendment extended the initial date on which Continental must commence liquidation of the Trust Account to up to February 18, 2024, or such earlier date as determined by our board of directors (the “Board”), unless the closing of our initial business combination shall have occurred, provided that FutureTech II Partners LLC (the “Sponsor”) (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into a trust account established for the benefit of our public stockholders (the “Trust Account”) the lesser of: (i) $125,000 and (ii) an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the number of our public shares that are not redeemed for each such one-month extension unless the closing of our initial business combination shall have occurred, in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination.
As approved by its stockholders at the First Extension Meeting, we filed an amendment to our Charter with the Delaware Secretary of State on August 17, 2023 (the “First Charter Amendment”), to extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination for an additional six months, from August 18, 2023 (the “Termination Date”) to up to February 18, 2024, by electing to extend the date to consummate an initial business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Termination Date, until February 18, 2024 or a total of up to six months after the Termination Date, or such earlier date as determined by the Board, unless the closing of our initial business combination shall have occurred (the “Extension,” and such later date, the “Extended Termination Date”), provided that the Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into the Trust Account the lesser of: (i) $125,000 and (ii) an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the number of our public shares that are not redeemed for each such one-month extension unless the closing of our initial business combination shall have occurred, in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination.
In connection with the votes to approve the Extension, the holders of 5,943,650 public shares of our Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares (the “First Extension Redeeming Stockholders “) for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.81 per share (the “First Redemption Payment”), for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $64.2 million. It was later determined that the Company did not withdraw all of the interest from the Trust Account that it was allowed to withdraw to cover income and franchise taxes and, therefore, the First Redemption Payment should have been approximately $10.73 per share. This meant that the First Extension Redeeming Stockholders were overpaid in the amount of approximately $0.08 per share (the “First Extension Overpayment Amount”). The First Extension Overpayment is reflected in this Form 10-K as a receivable from the Sponsor as agreed by the Sponsor. This amount will be reduced as the Company receives the claw back payments from the First Extension Redeeming Stockholders.
On February 17, 2023 the Company caused to be deposited $1,150,000 into the Company’s Trust Account for its public stockholders, representing $0.10 per public share, allowing the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial Business Combination by three months from February 18, 2023 to May 18, 2023. On May 17, 2023 the Company caused to be deposited $1,150,000 into the Company’s Trust Account for its public stockholders, representing $0.10 per public share, allowing the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial Business Combination by three months from May 18, 2023 to August 18, 2023. On August 18, 2023, the Company caused to be deposited $125,000 into the Company’s Trust Account, allowing the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial Business Combination from August 18, 2023 to September 18, 2023. On September 26, 2023, the Company caused to be deposited $125,000 into the Company’s Trust Account, allowing the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial Business Combination from September 18, 2023 to October 18, 2023. On October 18, 2023, the Company caused to be deposited $125,000 into the Company’s Trust Account, allowing the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial Business Combination from October 18, 2023 to November 18, 2023. On November 17, 2023, the Company caused to be deposited $125,000 into the Company’s Trust Account, allowing the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial Business Combination from November 18, 2023 to December 18, 2023. On December 18, 2023, the Company caused to be deposited $125,000 into the Company’s Trust Account, allowing the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial Business Combination from December 18, 2023 to January 18, 2024. On January 18, 2024, the Company caused to be deposited $125,000 into the Company’s Trust Account, allowing the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial Business Combination from January 18, 2024 to February 18, 2024.
As approved by its stockholders at the Second Extension Meeting held on February 14, 2024, we filed an amendment to the Charter with the Delaware Secretary of State on February 14, 2024 (the “Second Charter Amendment”), to extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination for an additional nine months up to November 18, 2024 by electing to extend the date to consummate an initial business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the Extended Termination Date, until November 18, 2024 or a total of up to nine months after the Extended Termination Date, or such earlier date as determined by the Board, unless the closing of our initial business combination shall have occurred, provided that the Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into the Trust Account the lesser of: (i) $50,000 and (ii) an aggregate amount equal to $0.03 multiplied by the number of our public shares that are not redeemed for each such one-month extension unless the closing of our initial business combination shall have occurred, in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. The Second Charter Amendment was filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 14, 2024
In connection with the votes to approve the Second Charter Amendment, the holders of 3,236,915 public shares of our Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares (the “Second Extension Redeeming Stockholders”) for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.21 per share (the “the Second Redemption Payment”), for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $36 million (the “Second Redemption Payment”). It was later determined that the Company did not withdraw all of the interest from the Trust Account that it was allowed to withdraw to cover income and franchise taxes and, therefore, the Second Redemption Payment should have been approximately $11.10 per share. This meant that the Second Extension Redeeming Stockholders were overpaid in the amount of approximately $361,843 (the “Second Extension Overpayment Amount”). As of the date of this filing, the Company is in the process of commencing a claw back process of the Second Extension Overpayment Amount, which is reflected in this Form 10-K as a receivable from the Sponsor as agreed by the Sponsor. This amount will be reduced as the Company receives the claw back payments from the Second Extension Redeeming Stockholders.
On February 18, 2024, the Company caused to be deposited $50,000 into the Company’s Trust Account, allowing the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial Business Combination from February 18, 2024 to March 18, 2024. On March 18, 2024, the Company caused to be deposited $50,000 into the Company’s Trust Account, allowing the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial Business Combination from March 18, 2024 to April 18, 2024.

As approved by its stockholders at the Third Extension Meeting held on November 18, 2024, we filed an amendment to the Charter with the Delaware Secretary of State on November 21, 2024 (the “Third Charter Amendment”, together with the First Charter Amendment and the Second Charter Amendment, the “Charter Amendments”)), to extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination for an additional nine months up to August 18, 2025 by electing to extend the date to consummate an initial business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time until August 18, 2025 or a total of up to nine months, or such earlier date as determined by the Board, unless the closing of our initial business combination shall have occurred, provided that the Sponsor (or its affiliates or permitted designees) will deposit into the Trust Account an aggregate amount equal to $0.05 multiplied by the number of our public shares that are not redeemed for such extension unless the closing of our initial business combination shall have occurred, in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon consummation of a business combination. The Third Charter Amendment was filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 22, 2024.
In connection with the votes to approve the Third Charter Amendment, on November 18, 2024, the holders of 1,564,549 public shares of our Class A common stock properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.01 per share as disclosed in the Proxy Statement.

Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Standards

The Staff also noted that the Company did not meet the requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(A) (the “Total Assets/Total Revenue Standard”). An indicator will be displayed with quotation information related to the Company’s securities on NASDAQ.com and NASDAQTrader.com and may be displayed by other third-party providers of market data information, however, the Notice did not impact the listing of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Global Market at this time.
The Notice provided that, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company had a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until October 21, 2024 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Market Value Standard.
On October 23, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Staff (the “Staff’s Determination”) stating that the Company has not regained compliance with the Rule and the Company’s securities would be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market unless the Company requested an appeal of Staff’s Determination by October 30, 2024 or applied to list its securities on The Nasdaq Capital Markets by October 30, 2024.
On October 29, 2024, the Company timely appealed the Staff’s Determination and requested for a hearing (the “Hearing”) to the Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). On October 30, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that the delisting action has been stayed, pending a final written decision by the Panel, and that the date of the Hearing will be December 17, 2024.

As a result, as of December 3, 2024, the Company has approximately 5,305,595 shares of issued and outstanding listed securities.
As disclosed in a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing filed with the SEC on November 15, 2024, the Company is delayed in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Q3 10-Q”) with the SEC. Consequently, the Company received an expected deficiency notification letter from the Staff of Nasdaq dated November 27, 2024 (the “Third Notice”). The Third Notice indicated that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Periodic Filing Rule”) as a result of its failure to timely file the 2024 Q3 10-Q. The Staff also noted that this serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and since the Company is already scheduled to appear before a Hearings Panel for its failure to comply with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5420(a)(2), the Company has until December 4, 2024 to request a stay of suspension, pending a Hearings Panel decision. In addition, the Staff noted that based on the Company disclosure that 1,564,549 shares were tendered for redemption in connection with the special meeting on November 18, 2024, the Company no longer complies with the minimum 1,100,000 publicly held shares requirement set forth in Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(B) (the “Publicly Held Shares Rule”).
On December 4, 2024, the Company timely submitted a letter requesting a stay of suspension.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement in relation to the IPO, upon the completion of an initial business combination, the Underwriter is entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of $3,450,000 (“Deferred Commission”). Under the Discharge Agreement, instead of receiving the full Deferred Commission in cash at the closing of the business combination with Longevity and other parties thereto, the Underwriter will accept (1) $500,000 in cash at the time of the closing; (2) a $1,475,000 promissory note executed by the Company and Longevity (“D. Boral Note”) in which the Company (upon closing) is obligated to pay the Underwriter in cash by the maturity date; and (3) 147,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, which when multiplied by the $10.00 per share price agreed to between the parties equals $1,475,000 and which shall be issued and delivered to the Underwriter at the closing.

Boral Note have been disclosed by the Company on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 11, 2025.
Working Capital Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with Longevity Business Combination and ongoing operating costs, the Sponsor has agreed to provide us with a loan to the Company up to $1,500,000 as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, may be converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. In the event that a 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. As of December 31, 2024, there was $412,257 outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception to December 31, 2024 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering (“Initial Public Offering”), conducting the Initial Public Offering and identifying a target company for a business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering 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 December 31, 2024, we had net loss of $746,953, which consisted of investment income of $1,342,491, partially offset by expenses of $1,814,864 and tax expense of $274,580. Investment income was higher in 2024 compared to 2023 due to the decrease in trust assets. Expenses were higher in 2024 compared to 2023 due to due diligence costs related to a potential business combination transaction.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had net income of $2,911,502, which consisted of investment income of $4,809,102 and a gain on extinguishment of notes payable of $144,443, partially offset by expenses of $1,062,699 and tax expense of $979,344. Investment income was higher in 2023 compared to 2022 due to the increase in interest rates. Expenses were higher in 2023 compared to 2022 due to due diligence costs related to a potential business combination transaction.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
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,” the Company has until August 18, 2025 to complete a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate an initial Business Combination by this time. If an initial Business Combination is not consummated by this date and the Company has not exercised its option to extend the deadline, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company had $56,768 in cash and no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $1,925,582. The net loss of $746,953 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the trust account of $1,342,491, and changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $163,862 of cash for operating activities.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $1,766,109. The net income of $2,911,502 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the trust account of $4,809,102, gain on extinguishment of notes payable of $144,443 and changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $275,934 of cash for operating activities.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, cash provided by investing activities was $36,859,305 due to cash withdrawn from the Trust Account of $37,509,794 and cash that was in transit to the Trust Account as of December 31, 2023, partially offset by cash deposited into the Trust Account of $775,489 and $125,000 cash in transit to the trust.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, cash provided by investing activities was $61,821,521 due to cash withdrawn from the Trust Account of $64,746,521, partially offset by cash deposited into the Trust Account of $2,800,000 and $125,000 cash in transit to the trust.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, cash provided by financing activities was $34,894,533 due to $36,281,990 in cash paid for redemptions, partially offset by $437,456 in capital contributions from the Sponsor and proceeds from issuance of debt – related party of $1,025,001.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, cash used in financing activities was $60,300,590 due to $64,238,887 in cash paid for redemptions, partially offset by $2,925,000 in proceeds from Sponsor note, and $1,013,297 in capital contributions from the Sponsor.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2024. 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.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities. The underwriter is entitled to a deferred fee of three percent (3.00%) of the gross proceeds of the Offering upon closing of the Business Combination, or $3,450,000. The deferred fee will be paid in cash upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of 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 financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of December 31, 2024, the below were the critical accounting policies.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
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 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 differ significantly from those estimates.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “ Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity .” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in the amount of $9,080,744 and $61,226,803, respectively, is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets. The decrease of $52,146,059 during the year ended December 31, 2024 in the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is due to a redemption of $36,281,990 and a redemption amount payable of $17,744,312 offset by accretion to the redemption value of $1,518,400 and amounts due from Sponsor of $361,843 during the year ended December 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the shares of common stock subject to possible redemption reflected on the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The calculation of diluted loss per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering and (ii) sale of the Private Placement Units, because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the periods presented.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregate them, or applies the quantitative threshold to determine its reportable segments. The new disclosure requirements are also applicable to entities that account and report as a single operating segment entity. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the guidance for the annual reporting period ended December 31, 2024. There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
