- Operating Expenses: General and administrative expenses rose to $268,126 from $401, reflecting the costs of being a public company and searching for a business combination.
- Liquidity: Cash outside the Trust Account decreased from $183,491 at year-end 2024 to $15,354 at March 31, 2025, due to operating cash outflows and insurance loan payments.

- Related Party Obligations: $542,975 is outstanding under a promissory note to the Sponsor. The company pays the Sponsor $15,000 per month for administrative services.
- Risk Factors: Geopolitical instability (Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas) and changes in international trade policies/tariffs could adversely affect the search for a target or the target's financial performance.
- Contingencies: Deferred underwriting commissions of $9,030,000 are payable only upon the successful completion of a Business Combination.
