- Debt Obligations: Current liabilities increased significantly due to the issuance of two $300,000 promissory notes (one from a related party Sponsor, one from Mango Financial) to fund the extension. Total current liabilities rose from $103,025 to $698,479.
- Operating Cash Flow: Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $377,356, compared to $258,602 for the period from inception through September 30, 2024.
- Trust Account Growth: The Trust Account balance increased by approximately $1.92 million due to interest earnings and the $600,000 extension payment.

- Proposed Business Combination: The Company is pursuing a merger with Mango Financial Group Limited. The Merger Agreement was amended on September 11, 2025.

The Company has a working capital deficit of $481,777 and relies on the successful completion of the business combination or additional funding from sponsors to meet obligations.
