Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Significant Redemptions: In January 2025, 5,199,297 shares were tendered for redemption, removing approximately $55.15 million from the Trust Account. Consequently, shares subject to possible redemption dropped from 6.9 million (Dec 31, 2024) to 1.7 million (June 30, 2025).
• Profitability Shift: The company reported a net loss of $801,621 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a net income of $1.16 million for the same period in 2024. This shift is primarily due to increased formation and operation costs ($1.10 million vs. $227k) and a significant reduction in interest income earned on the Trust Account ($466k vs. $1.85 million) following the redemptions.
• Liquidity Decline: Cash outside the Trust Account decreased from $1.55 million to $225,929. Total assets declined from $74.7 million to $19.0 million, reflecting the withdrawal of funds for redemptions.
• Liabilities: Current liabilities increased to $2.46 million, driven by a new excise tax payable of $551,522 related to the redemptions and an increase in the promissory note from KM QUAD to $1.04 million.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Proposed Business Combination: On February 14, 2025, Quetta entered into a Merger Agreement with KM QUAD (parent of Jiujiang Lida Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese film product manufacturer). The aggregate consideration is $300 million in newly issued shares. The transaction is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.
• Extension of Time: Stockholders approved an extension of the business combination deadline to October 10, 2026. The company has been paying $60,000 monthly into the Trust Account for extensions. KM QUAD has prepaid $540,000 in extension fees via promissory notes.
• Going Concern: Management has determined that conditions raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year due to a working capital deficit and the uncertainty of completing the business combination.
• Excise Tax Liability: The company recorded a $551,522 liability for the 1% excise tax on stock repurchases under the Inflation Reduction Act. This amount has not yet been paid.
• Internal Controls: Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of June 30, 2025.

Key Facts for Investor Verification

• Transaction Status: Verify the progress of regulatory approvals for the KM QUAD merger, as the deal is contingent on these approvals and shareholder votes.
• Liquidity Runway: Confirm the company's ability to fund ongoing operations and extension fees given the low cash balance ($225,929) and working capital deficit.
• Excise Tax Payment: Monitor the status of the $551,522 excise tax liability and any potential penalties or interest accruing on the unpaid amount.
• Extension Fee Funding: Verify that KM QUAD continues to fund the required monthly extension fees ($60,000) to prevent liquidation if the merger is delayed beyond October 2025.
• Trust Account Balance: Confirm the current balance of the Trust Account ($18.7 million) relative to the redemption value of remaining public shares.
