YoY shift: Unscored
Year-over-year tone shift - average net-tone change across Risk Factors and MD&A vs the prior 10-K.
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.

Risk Factors (Item 1A)

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include risk factors in this Annual Report. However, the following is a partial list of material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on us and our operations, followed by another material risk that should be reviewed when considering an investment in our securities.
For additional risks relating to our operations, other than as set forth below, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in the Registration Statement. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate the initial business combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Risks Relating to our Search for, Consummation of, or Inability to Consummate, a Business Combination and Post-Business Combination Risks
Our public shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our proposed business combination, which means we may complete our initial business combination even though a majority of our public shareholders do not support such a combination.
If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination, our initial shareholders, officers and directors have agreed to vote in favor of such initial business combination, regardless of how our public shareholders vote.
Your only opportunity to affect the investment decision regarding a potential business combination will be limited to the exercise of your right to redeem your shares from us for cash, unless we seek shareholder approval of the business combination.
The ability of our public shareholders to redeem their shares for cash may make our financial condition unattractive to potential business combination targets, which may make it difficult for us to enter into a business combination with a target.
The ability of our public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares may not allow us to complete the most desirable business combination or optimize our capital structure.
The ability of our public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our shares could increase the probability that our initial business combination would be unsuccessful and that you would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your shares.
The requirement that we complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame may give potential target businesses leverage over us in negotiating a business combination and may decrease our ability to conduct due diligence on potential business combination targets as we approach our dissolution deadline, which could undermine our ability to complete our initial business combination on terms that would produce value for our shareholders.
Risks Associated with Acquiring and Operating a Business Outside of the U.S.
If we effect our initial business combination with a company located outside of the U.S., we would be subject to a variety of additional risks that may negatively impact our business operations and financial results.
If we effect a business combination with a company located outside of the United States, the laws applicable to such company will likely govern all of our material agreements and we may not be able to enforce our legal rights.
Because of the costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations after we acquire it, our results of operations may be negatively impacted following a business combination.
Risks Relating to our Sponsor and Management Team
Our officers and directors will allocate their time to other businesses, thereby causing conflicts of interest in their determination as to how much time to devote to our affairs. This conflict of interest could have a negative impact on our ability to complete our initial business combination.
Since our sponsor, officers and directors, and any other persons who have an interest in our founder shares and/or private placement units, including any non-managing sponsor investors, will lose their entire investment in us, except to the extent they are entitled to redeem any public shares they acquire, as described in this report, or to receive liquidating distributions on the founder shares from assets outside the trust account, if our initial business combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether a particular business combination target is appropriate for our initial business combination.
Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the trust account available for distribution to our public shareholders.
Our ability to successfully effect our initial business combination and to be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel, some of whom may join us following our initial business combination. The loss of our or a target’s key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business.
We may approve an amendment or waiver of the letter agreement that would allow our sponsor to directly, or the members of our sponsor to indirectly, transfer founder shares and private placement shares or membership interests in our sponsor in a transaction in which our sponsor removes itself as our sponsor before identifying an initial business combination, which may deprive us of key personnel.
Past performance by our management team and their respective affiliates may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in us.
We are dependent upon our officers and directors and their departure could adversely affect our ability to operate.
Risks Relating to Our Securities
Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
The grant of registration rights to our initial shareholders and holders of our private placement units and representative shares may make it more difficult to complete our initial business combination, and the future exercise of such rights may adversely affect the market price of our Class A ordinary shares.
General Risks Related to Our Business
We are a newly incorporated company with no operating history and no revenues, and you have no basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objective.
Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.”
You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the trust account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your public shares or rights, potentially at a loss.
Risks Relating to Taxation
We believe that we likely were a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which may result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder (as defined in the section of the Registration Statement titled “ Income Tax Considerations – Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S Holders ”) of our Class A ordinary shares, the U.S. Holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. Our PFIC status for our current and subsequent taxable years may depend on whether we qualify for the PFIC start-up exception (see the section of the Registration Statement titled “ Income Tax Considerations – Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S Holders – Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules ”). We expect to consummate a business combination in calendar year 2026 based on our 18-month time horizon. However, we are uncertain of the timing of a business combination and whether we will successfully consummate a business combination in 2026 or later. Because we are a blank check company with no current active business prior to our initial business combination, and based upon the composition of our income and assets, and upon a review of our financial statements, we likely were a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. We are uncertain if we will continue to be a PFIC in 2026 making it difficult to determine the availability of the PFIC start-up exception to fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Our actual PFIC status for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurances with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. Moreover, if we determine we are a PFIC for any taxable year, upon written request, we will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a “qualified electing fund” election, but there can be no assurance that we will timely provide such required information. We urge U.S. investors to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules. We urge U.S. holders to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules. For a more detailed explanation of the tax consequences of PFIC classification to U.S. Holders, see the section of the Registration Statement titled “ Income Tax Considerations – Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S Holders – Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules .”

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 audited consolidated financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included in “Item 8. Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report. 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.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this report as our initial business combination. We may pursue an initial business combination target in any business, industry and geographic location.
We have not entered into a definitive agreement with respect to an initial business combination. Our management team and directors are actively engaged in identifying and evaluating potential business combination and may from time to time engage in discussions with one or more potential targets regarding a potential transaction. Such discussions may involve the execution of preliminary agreements, including non-binding letters of intent or similar arrangements, which are subject to the completion of due diligence and the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation. Any such preliminary arrangements would not obligate the parties to consummate a business combination. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any such discussions will result in a definitive agreement or the completion of an initial business combination.
We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt. We will have up to 18 months from the closing of the initial public offering to consummate an initial business combination. We may also hold a shareholder vote at any time to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to modify the amount of time we will have to consummate an initial business combination (as well as to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with an initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares issued in the initial public offering if we have not consummated an initial business combination within the time periods described herein or with respect to any other material provisions relating to the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial business combination activity).
Following the closing of the initial public offering and over-allotment option, an amount of $115,000,000 ($10.00 per unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the public units in the initial public offering, including the over-allotment units, and the private placement was placed in the trust account. The funds in the trust account will be invested or held only in either (i) U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, (ii) as uninvested cash, or (iii) an interest bearing bank demand deposit account or other accounts at a bank. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account (which interest shall be net of amounts released to us to fund our working capital requirements, subject to a limit of $300,000, in the aggregate, income and/or franchise taxes payable, if any, and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), provided that all withdrawals may only be made from interest and not from the principal held in the trust account, to complete our initial business combination. Except with respect to permitted withdrawals described above and/or pay dissolution expenses, the proceeds from the initial public offering and private placement held in the trust account will not be released until the earliest of (a) the completion of our initial business combination; (b) the redemption of any of the public shares in connection with any vote on a proposed business combination in accordance with the provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; (c) the repurchase of shares by means of a tender offer pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (d) the redemption of any of our public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or redeem 100% of its public shares if we do not consummate its initial business combination by January 2, 2027 (or such later date if extended), or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of the holders of Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial business combination activity; and (e) the redemption of all of the Company’s public shares if it is unable to complete its business combination by January 2, 2027 (or such later date if extended), subject to applicable law and the provisions of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a business combination will be successful.
Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from December 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2025, have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering, described below, and identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents held in the trust account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as expenses as we conduct due diligence on prospective business combination candidates.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net income of $1,778,677, which is comprised of investment income on investments held in the trust account less formation and operating costs.
For the period from December 18, 2024 (inception) through December 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $55,000, which are comprised of formation and operating costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $353,247 and working capital of $386,293. We also expect to withdraw up to $300,000 of interest earned on the trust account as a permitted withdrawal to fund our working capital requirements, as needed from time to time. Further, our sponsor has agreed to loan up to $300,000 to cover organizational, offering-related and post-offering expenses, which amount may be increased to $500,000 if we and our sponsor agree. These loans are evidenced by a promissory note dated December 31, 2024, as amended on June 23, 2025 (as amended, the “Note”). Until the consummation of our initial public offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of Class B ordinary shares by the sponsor and loans from our sponsor under the Note.
On July 2, 2025, we consummated our initial public offering of 10,000,000 public units, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one Class A ordinary share upon the completion of our initial business combination. We granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional public units to cover over-allotments. Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering, we consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 170,000 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit, consisting of: (i) 105,000 private placement units to the sponsor, and (ii) 65,000 private placement units to the at-risk capital investors, for an aggregate of $1,700,000, $1,550,000 of which was paid in cash and $150,000 was satisfied by reduction of the principal balance underlying the Note. Each private placement unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one right to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one class A ordinary share upon the completion of our initial business combination.
Subsequent to the initial public offering closing, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the over-allotment units occurred on July 10, 2025. As a result, we sold an additional 1,500,000 public units at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $15,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, we completed the private sale of 7,500 private placement units to the sponsor, at a purchase price of $10.00 per private placement unit, generating gross proceeds of $75,000.
Transaction costs amounted to $5,457,575, consisting of $537,500 of cash underwriting fees, $4,600,000 of fair value of shares issued to the designee of the representative of the several underwriters, and $320,075 of other offering costs.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account, which interest shall be net of permitted withdrawals and dissolution expenses, to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete 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.
We will use the funds held outside of the trust account and other sources of available capital, including the Note and any additional loans, and amounts of interest earned on the trust account that may be released to us as permitted withdrawals, primarily to identify and 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, structure, negotiate and complete a business combination, and to pay taxes to the extent the interest earned on the trust account is not sufficient to pay our taxes.
We expect our primary liquidity requirements over the next 12 months to include fees and expenses associated with satisfying our financial reporting obligations; legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses associated with structuring, negotiating and documenting successful business combinations; and general working capital that will be used for miscellaneous expenses, general corporate purposes, liquidation obligations and reserves net of estimated interest income.
We expect to satisfy our liquidity requirements with cash on hand, from permitted withdrawals of interest earned on the amounts held in the trust account in an amount up to $300,000 and, if necessary, additional loans from our sponsor. If our available funds are not sufficient, we may be unable to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses. Moreover, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $542,631. Net income of $1,778,677 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the trust account of $2,283,599 and net change in operating assets and liabilities of $37,709.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used in investing activities was $115,000,000, which was the amount required to be deposited into the trust account from the initial public offering, including the underwriters’ over-allotment option exercise in connection therewith, and private placement.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash provided by financing activities was $115,895,878, which is the proceeds from the initial public offering and the private placement, net of offering costs as well as proceeds from the sponsor promissory note.
Going Concern Consideration
At December 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $353,247 and working capital of $386,293.
Subsequent to the consummation of the initial public offering, including the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in full, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the initial public offering and the private placement held outside of the trust account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the sponsor or an affiliate of the sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide us additional loans to finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, except such amounts as may be loaned in accordance with the terms of the Note.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, the Company was formed for the purpose of completing a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities on or before January 2, 2027. The Company also has no approved plan in place to extend the business combination deadline beyond January 2, 2027. Management has determined that the timing of liquidation raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2025. 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, other than the accrual of $20,000 per month pursuant to the administrative services agreement we have entered into with the sponsor for its office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Upon completion of the initial business combination or our liquidation, the administrative services agreement will terminate, and we will cease accruing these monthly fees and will pay the outstanding amounts under the administrative services agreement to the sponsor or its affiliates.
The sponsor agreed to loan up to $100,000 to us pursuant to the terms of the Note, which amount was increased to $300,000 on June 23, 2025, pursuant to an amendment to the Note, and may be further increased to $500,000 if we and the sponsor agree, to cover post-offering expenses which may include expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of a business combination. These loans underlying the Note are non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due on the date in which we consummate our initial business combination or on the date of its dissolution deadline, assuming there is cash available. As of December 31, 2025, we owed $4,963 to the sponsor under the Note.
Critical Accounting Estimates
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, 2025, we have not identified any critical accounting policies or estimates.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our audited financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things: (1) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (2) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; (3) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis); and (4) disclose certain executive compensation-related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of the initial public offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.
Recent Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, “Segment Reporting — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This update requires public entities to disclose its significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company reported its operations as a single reportable segment, noting no disaggregation of Company activities, management or allocation of resources by geographic region, business activity or organizational method, thus this new guidance does not affect the disclosures. Refer to “Note 8 – Segment Information” in the audited financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
