The most significant development occurred subsequent to the reporting period (October 8, 2025):
- IPO Completion: The Company sold 11,500,000 Units (including full over-allotment) at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000.
- Private Placement: Simultaneously, the Company sold 360,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor and underwriter for $3,600,000.
- Trust Account: $115,000,000 was deposited into a Trust Account.
- Transaction Costs: Total costs were $7,370,254, including $2,300,000 in cash underwriting fees and $4,600,000 in deferred fees.
- Working Capital Post-IPO: Approximately $649,760 was held outside the Trust Account for working capital purposes.
Balance Sheet Changes (Pre-IPO): Compared to December 31, 2024, cash decreased from $129,309 to $49,796 due to operating expenses and deferred offering cost payments. The promissory note to the related party increased from $200,000 to $300,000.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Going Concern: Management has determined that conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern until the consummation of a business combination or liquidation, as it lacks sufficient financial resources to sustain operations for one year without the IPO proceeds.
- Combination Period: The Company has until April 8, 2027 (18 months from IPO) to complete a business combination. Failure to do so will trigger automatic liquidation.
- Risks: Risks include global conflicts (Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Hamas), trade tensions, market volatility, and the uncertainty of completing a business combination.
- Related Party Obligations: The Sponsor has agreed to indemnify the Trust Account against certain claims to ensure funds remain at $10.00 per share. The Sponsor also pays $10,000/month for administrative services.
Investor Verification Checklist
- IPO Proceeds Verification: Confirm the $115,000,000 deposit into the Trust Account and the $649,760 available for working capital post-IPO.
- Deferred Fees: Verify the $4,600,000 deferred underwriting fee liability and its payment terms upon business combination.
- Related Party Debt: Review the status of the $300,000 promissory note and $24,720 due to related party; confirm repayment terms post-IPO.
- Share Structure: Confirm the 3,833,333 Class B Founder Shares (representing 25% post-IPO) and the forfeiture conditions regarding the over-allotment option (which was fully exercised).
- Liquidity Runway: Assess if the $649,760 working capital is sufficient to fund operations until April 2027 or if additional working capital loans will be required.
