Key Financial Metrics (As of September 30, 2025)

Material Changes and Subsequent Events

The financial statements reflect the pre-IPO period. Significant capital events occurred subsequent to the reporting period:

• IPO Completion: On January 7, 2026, the company sold 17,250,000 Units (including full exercise of the 2,250,000 over-allotment option) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $172,500,000.
• Private Placement: Simultaneously, 8,150,000 Private Placement Warrants were sold to the Sponsor and underwriters at $0.50 per warrant, generating $4,075,000.
• Trust Account: $172,500,000 was deposited into the Trust Account.
• Debt Settlement: The outstanding promissory note balance of $123,988 (as of Jan 7, 2026) was fully settled at the IPO closing.
• Transaction Costs: Total transaction costs amounted to $9,912,668, including $2,292,000 in cash underwriting fees and $6,876,000 in deferred underwriting fees.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

Outlook: Management intends to use substantially all funds in the Trust Account to complete a business combination. The company has 24 months (extendable to 27 months) from the IPO closing to consummate a transaction. If no combination occurs, the company will liquidate and redeem public shares.

Risks and Contingencies:

• Geopolitical Instability: Risks associated with the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts, including market volatility, supply chain interruptions, and sanctions.
• Tariffs and Trade Policy: Potential adverse impacts from U.S. tariff policies (including the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" signed July 4, 2025) and trade tensions with China, Canada, and Mexico.
• Liquidity: Prior to the IPO, the company had no cash and relied on a related-party promissory note. Post-IPO, liquidity is secured via the Trust Account and potential working capital loans from the Sponsor (up to $3.5 million convertible to warrants).
• Going Concern: The filing notes that the IPO consummation resolved going concern uncertainties, providing sufficient funds for operations for at least one year post-IPO.

Investor Verification Checklist

• IPO Closing Confirmation: Verify the final closing date and total proceeds of the January 7, 2026 IPO, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option.
• Trust Account Balance: Confirm the exact amount deposited in the Trust Account ($172,500,000) and the identity of the trustee (Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company).
• Deferred Underwriting Fees: Note the $6,876,000 deferred fee payable only upon successful completion of a business combination.
• Founder Share Forfeiture: Confirm that the 750,000 Founder Shares subject to forfeiture were retained due to the full exercise of the over-allotment option.
• Related Party Transactions: Review the settlement of the promissory note and the terms of the new Administrative Services Agreement ($20,000/month commencing Jan 5, 2026).
• Combination Deadline: Verify the specific deadline (24 or 27 months from Jan 7, 2026) by which a business combination must be completed to avoid liquidation.
