[10-Q] Lionheart Holdings Quarterly Earnings Report
Lionheart Holdings is a Cayman Islands blank check company formed to complete a business combination. The company completed an IPO on June 20, 2024, selling 23,000,000 units and placing $10.00 per unit into a Trust Account invested in money market funds that primarily hold U.S. government securities. The Trust Account balance was $241,260,237 as of June 30, 2025, equal to a redemption value of $10.49 per Public Share.
Lionheart has not commenced operating activities and generates non-operating income from interest and changes in fair value of Trust Account investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the company reported net income of $4,446,406, driven by $4,925,132 of interest/market value gains, while operating and formation costs were $478,726. Cash outside the Trust Account totaled $569,362 with a reported working capital surplus of $535,450. Management has a defined Combination Period to complete a Business Combination by June 20, 2026 and notes substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if a Business Combination is not consummated by the deadline.
Lionheart Holdings è una società "blank check" con sede nelle Isole Cayman costituita per completare un'operazione di combinazione aziendale. La società ha completato un'IPO il 20 giugno 2024, vendendo 23,000,000 unità e versando $10.00 per unità in un Conto Fiduciario investito in fondi monetari che detengono principalmente titoli del governo statunitense. Il saldo del Conto Fiduciario era $241,260,237 al 30 giugno 2025, corrispondente a un valore di rimborso di $10.49 per Azione Pubblica.
Lionheart non ha avviato attività operative e genera proventi non operativi da interessi e da variazioni del fair value degli investimenti del Conto Fiduciario. Per i sei mesi chiusi al 30 giugno 2025, la società ha riportato un utile netto di $4,446,406, trainato da $4,925,132 di interessi/plusvalenze di mercato, mentre i costi operativi e di costituzione sono stati di $478,726. La liquidità al di fuori del Conto Fiduciario ammontava a $569,362 con un eccedenza di capitale circolante di $535,450. La direzione dispone di un Periodo di Combinazione definito per completare l'operazione entro il 20 giugno 2026 e segnala dubbi sostanziali sulla capacità della Società di proseguire come azienda in funzionamento qualora l'operazione non venga perfezionata entro tale termine.

Lionheart Holdings는 사업 결합을 완료하기 위해 설립된 케이맨제도의 블랭크 체크(Blank check) 회사입니다. 회사는 2024년 6월 20일에 IPO를 완료하여 23,000,000 단위를 판매했고 단위당 $10.00을 주로 미국 국채를 보유한 머니마켓펀드에 투자된 신탁계좌에 예치했습니다. 신탁계좌 잔액은 2025년 6월 30일 기준 $241,260,237였으며, 공개주당 환매가치는 $10.49였습니다.
Lionheart는 영업활동을 개시하지 않았으며 신탁계좌 투자에서 발생하는 이자 및 공정가치 변동으로 비영업수익을 창출합니다. 2025년 6월 30일로 끝나는 6개월 동안 회사는 $4,446,406의 순이익을 보고했으며, 이는 $4,925,132의 이자/시가가치 차익에 의해 주도되었고 영업 및 설립 비용은 $478,726이었습니다. 신탁계좌 외 현금은 $569,362였고 운전자본 잉여금은 $535,450로 보고되었습니다. 경영진은 2026년 6월 20일까지 사업 결합을 완료할 정해진 결합 기간(Combination Period)을 가지고 있으며, 그 기한까지 결합이 성사되지 않을 경우 회사의 존속 능력에 대해 중대한 의문이 있음을 지적하고 있습니다.

Juni 2024 ab, verkaufte 23,000,000 Einheiten und zahlte $10.00 pro Einheit in ein Treuhandkonto ein, das in Geldmarktfonds investiert ist, die hauptsächlich US-Staatsanleihen halten. Der Saldo des Treuhandkontos belief sich am 30. Juni 2025 auf $241,260,237, was einem Rücknahmewert von $10.49 pro öffentliche Aktie entspricht.
Lionheart hat keine operativen Tätigkeiten aufgenommen und erzielt nicht betriebliche Erträge aus Zinsen und aus Änderungen des beizulegenden Zeitwerts der Anlagen im Treuhandkonto. Für die sechs Monate zum 30. Juni 2025 meldete das Unternehmen einen Nettogewinn von $4,446,406, getragen von $4,925,132 an Zins-/Marktwerterträgen, während die Betriebs- und Gründungskosten $478,726 betrugen. Zahlungsmittel außerhalb des Treuhandkontos beliefen sich auf $569,362 mit einem ausgewiesenen Nettoumlaufvermögen von $535,450. Das Management hat eine festgelegte Kombinationsfrist (Combination Period), um eine Business Combination bis zum 20. Juni 2026 abzuschließen, und weist darauf hin, dass erhebliche Zweifel an der Fortführungsfähigkeit des Unternehmens bestehen, falls die Kombination nicht bis zur Frist vollzogen wird.

- Completed IPO with full over-allotment: 23,000,000 units sold at $10.00 per unit

- Management discloses substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if a Business Combination is not completed by the deadline
- Sponsor indemnity obligations are not independently verified and the Sponsor may lack resources to satisfy indemnities
- Significant contingent liability: $9,800,000 deferred underwriting fee payable upon completion of a Business Combination
Insights
TL;DR: Strong Trust Account funding supports a SPAC search, with net income driven by market yields but limited operating cash.
Lionheart shows a robust Trust Account of $241.26M, providing the principal economic resource for an initial Business Combination. The company produced $4.45M of net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily from interest and fair value gains on the Trust Account rather than operating revenue. Operating expenses remain modest at under $0.5M YTD, but cash outside the Trust Account is limited ($569k), creating reliance on sponsor support or external financing for transaction costs. The deferred underwriting fee of $9.8M and deferred legal fees also represent contingent post-combination obligations. Overall, the financial profile is typical for a newly formed SPAC: strong capital in trust but limited standalone liquidity for execution.
TL;DR: Governance and liquidity provisions create execution risk; sponsor indemnities and going-concern disclosure raise material questions.
The filing confirms standard SPAC governance arrangements—Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, registration and lock-up agreements—and a Letter Agreement that aligns insiders toward completing a Business Combination. However, management discloses substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if a Business Combination is not completed by the Combination Period deadline. The Sponsor’s indemnity obligations are not reserved nor independently confirmed, and working capital outside the Trust Account is limited to $569,362, increasing dependency on sponsor loans or capital raises. These factors elevate execution and shareholder-protection risks prior to a consummated transaction.

LIONHEART HOLDINGS
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2025
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Lionheart Holdings (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted corporation on February 21, 2024. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early-stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early-stage and emerging growth companies.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 21, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the Initial Public Offering (as defined below), and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of dividend income on investments from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor is Lionheart Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”).
The Registration Statement
on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering, initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on
May 28, 2024, as amended (File No. 333-279751), was declared effective on June 17, 2024 (the “IPO Registration Statement”).
On June 20, 2024, the Company consummated the initial public offering of
Transaction costs amounted
to $
The Business Combination
must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least
5
Upon the closing of the
Initial Public Offering, Management placed an aggregate of $
Except with respect to interest
earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the Initial
Public Offering and the Private Placement will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of
the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the Public Shares if the Company is unable to complete the initial Business
Combination by June 20, 2026, or by such earlier liquidation date as the Company’s board of directors may approve unless further
extended by shareholder approval (the “Combination Period”), subject to applicable law, or (iii) the redemption of the
Public Shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and
articles of association (the “Amended and Restated Articles”) to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s
obligation to allow redemptions in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem
The Company will provide
the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business
Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without
a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial
Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be
entitled to redeem their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust
Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest
earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares,
subject to certain limitations. The amount in the Trust Account was $
The Ordinary Shares (as defined below) subject to redemption were recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares voted will be voted in favor of the Business Combination.
The Company only has the
duration of the Combination Period to complete the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination
within the Combination Period, the Company will, as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days
thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust
Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable, if any, and less up to $
6
The Sponsor, officers and
directors have entered into the Letter Agreement, dated June 17, 2024, with the Company (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant
to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to the Class B ordinary shares of the Company, par value
$
The Sponsor has agreed that
it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company,
or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar
agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of June 30, 2025, the
Company had $
In order to finance transaction
costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers
and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If
the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination
does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans,
but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $
The Company will need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Initial Shareholders or its officers, directors or their affiliates. The Initial Shareholders and the Company’s officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until June 22, 2026, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain whether the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to consummate a Business Combination prior to June 22, 2026. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 22, 2026.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 21, 2025. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2022, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Making estimates requires Management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, which Management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all
short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company has
$
8
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
The Company’s portfolio
of investments is comprised of cash and U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment
Company Act, with a maturity of
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs”, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A,“Expenses of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” (“ASC 470-20”), addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between Public Shares and Warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the Warrants and then to the Public Shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity and offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were charged to shareholders’ deficit.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature that allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the initial Business Combination. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 480-10-S99,“Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Public Shares were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., the Public Warrants) and as such, the initial carrying value of the Public Shares classified as temporary equity are the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as it occurs and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Public Shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the accompanying condensed balance sheets. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares are affected by charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company is considered
to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income
taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was
Net Income per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted
net income does not consider the effect of the Public Warrants (including the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option) and the Private
Placement Warrants to purchase an aggregate of

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per Ordinary Share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that
potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution and the cash held

Warrant Instruments
The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” (“ASC 280”) in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in ASU 2023-07 and existing segment disclosures in ASC 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 as required for the period ended June 30, 2025. The adoption required the Company to provide additional disclosure, but otherwise it does not materially impact the accompanying condensed financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Risks and Uncertainties
The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.
13
Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.
Registration Rights Agreement
The holders of the (i) Founder Shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants and (iii) warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and in each case holders of their underlying securities, as applicable) have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of the Company’s securities held by them and any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement, dated June 17, 2024. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. No Warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A Ordinary Share upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised Warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such Warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the Public Share underlying such Unit.
Under the terms of the warrant agreement, dated June 17, 2024, the Company entered into with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as warrant agent of our Public Warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”), the Company has agreed that, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days, after the closing of its Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the IPO Registration Statement or a new registration statement covering the registration under the Securities Act of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and thereafter will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following the initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
If the holders exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis, they would pay the warrant exercise price by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Class A Ordinary Shares over the exercise price of the Public Warrants by (y) the average reported closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent or on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants, as applicable (the “Fair Market Value”).
Redemption of Warrants When the Price per
Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $
The Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants:
● | in whole and not in part; |
● | at
a price of $ |
● | upon
a minimum of |
● | if,
and only if, the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $ |

Additionally, if the number of outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A Ordinary Shares, or by a sub-division of Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, sub-division or similar event, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding Ordinary Shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares at a price less than the Fair Market Value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per Class A Ordinary Share paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Ordinary Shares, in determining the price payable for Class A Ordinary Shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A Ordinary Shares as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A Ordinary Shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.
NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects Management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. | |
Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. | |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
Level 1 assets include investments
in money market funds that invest solely in U.S. government securities. At June 30, 2025, assets held in the Trust Account were comprised
of $
At issuance, the Public
Warrants were valued using a Monte Carlo model. The Public Warrants have been classified within shareholders’ deficit and will
not require remeasurement after issuance.

NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC 280 establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. “Operating segments” are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by a CODM, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM
has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer, who reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company
as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, Management has determined that

The CODM reviews interest earned on the Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated June 17, 2024, which the Company entered into with Continental, as trustee of the Trust Account.
General and administrative expenses are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews general and administrative costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General and administrative costs, as reported on the accompanying unaudited condensed statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report including, without limitation, statements under this Item regarding our financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. When used in this Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our Management, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our Management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our Management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in our filings with the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 21, 2024 formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, the proceeds of the sale of our Ordinary Shares in connection with our initial Business Combination (pursuant to any forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements into which we may enter), Ordinary Shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, other securities issuances, or a combination of the foregoing.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
In 2024, the SEC adopted additional rules and regulations relating to SPACs. The 2024 SPAC Rules require, among other matters, (i) additional disclosures relating to SPAC sponsors and related persons; (ii) additional disclosures relating to SPAC Business Combination transactions; (iii) additional disclosures relating to dilution and to conflicts of interest involving sponsors and their affiliates in connection with proposed Business Combination transactions; (iv) additional disclosures regarding projections included in SEC filings in connection with proposed Business Combination transactions; and (v) the requirement that both the SPAC and its target company be co-registrants in connection with registration statements relating to proposed Business Combination transactions. In addition, the SEC’s adopting release provided guidance describing circumstances in which a SPAC could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, including its duration, asset composition, business purpose, and the activities of the SPAC and its management team. The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.
We may seek to extend the Combination Period consistent with applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange rules by amending our Amended and Restated Articles. Such an amendment would require the approval of our Public Shareholders, who will be provided the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with the vote on such approval. Such redemptions will decrease the amount held in our Trust Account and our capitalization, and may affect our ability to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules currently require SPACs (such as us) to complete our initial Business Combination in accordance with the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement. If we do not meet the Nasdaq 36-Month Requirement, our securities will likely be subject to a suspension of trading and delisting from Nasdaq. Our Sponsor may also, in its discretion, explore transactions under which it would sell its interest in our Company to another sponsor entity, which may result in a change to our Management Team.
19
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from February 21, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2025 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, completion of the Initial Public Offering, and following the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance, among other things), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net income of $2,247,708, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,477,873, offset by operating costs of $230,165. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net income of $4,446,406, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $4,925,132, offset by operating costs of $478,726.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had a net income of $129,478, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $240,830, offset by operating costs of $111,352.
For the period from February 21, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2024, we had net income of $107,218, which consists of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $240,830, offset by operating costs of $133,612.
Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our results of operations and our ability to consummate an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, fluctuations in interest rates, increases in tariffs, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial Business Combination.
Liquidity and Going Concern
On March 8, 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan us an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to the IPO Promissory Note. This loan was non-interest bearing and was payable on the earlier of December 31, 2024, or the date on which we consummate the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance of $180,000 was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on June 20, 2024, and borrowings under the IPO Promissory Note are no longer available.
On June 20, 2024, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, which included the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option in the amount of 3,000,000 Option Units at $10.00 per Option Unit, and the sale of an aggregate of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor and Cantor, at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrants, or $6,000,000 in the aggregate, in the Private Placement that closed simultaneously with the Initial Public Offering and pursuant to the Private Placement Warrants Purchase Agreements.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $321,655. Net income of $4,446,406 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $4,925,132. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $157,071 of cash for operating activities.
For the period from February 21, 2024 (inception) through June 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $392,113. Net income of $107,218 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $240,830 and payment of formation costs through promissory note of $5,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $263,501 of cash for operating activities.
20
As of June 30, 2025, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $241,260,237 (including $11,260,237 of interest income) consisting of a money market fund. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which risk increases the longer that we hold investments in the Trust Account, we may, at any time (based on our Management’s ongoing assessment of all factors related to our potential status under the Investment Company Act), instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash or in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable, if any), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or In part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of June 30, 2025, we had cash of $569,362. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such Working Capital Loans. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until June 22, 2026, to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain whether the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. We have determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to consummate a Business Combination prior to June 22, 2026. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 22, 2026.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than as set forth below.
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on June 18, 2024, and until completion of our initial Business Combination or liquidation, we reimburse an affiliate of our Sponsor $15,000 per month for certain office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative services as may be reasonably required by our Company pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement. Under the Administrative Services Agreement, there was $45,000 and $90,000 incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters of the Initial Public Offering had a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 Option Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On June 20, 2024, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Over-Allotment Option was fully exercised to purchase the additional 3,000,000 Option Units at a price of $10.00 per Option Unit.
The underwriters of the Initial Public Offering were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $4,000,000 (2.0% of the gross proceeds of the Units offered in the Initial Public Offering, excluding any proceeds from Units sold pursuant to the full exercises of the Over-Allotment Option), paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to the Deferred Discount of 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account, other than those sold pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option and 6.0% of the gross proceeds sold pursuant to the full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, amounting to $9,800,000 in the aggregate upon the completion of the initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement,. This Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. If we fail to consummate an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, such Deferred Discount will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of our Public Shares upon the liquidation of the Trust Account.

Legal Engagement Letter
Lionheart Capital, an affiliate of our Sponsor, has engaged Wasserstrom to represent Lionheart Capital and its affiliated companies, as corporate general counsel and otherwise in connection with any corporate and/or transactional matters. The engagement letter between Lionheart Capital and Wasserstrom is for an indefinite period only subject to termination rights of either party, of which no termination has occurred since the agreement was executed. Jessica Wasserstrom, the principal of Wasserstrom, currently holds the title of Chief Legal Officer of Lionheart Capital and its affiliated companies.
In connection therewith, Wasserstrom was specifically engaged by us to provide counsel for general corporate legal matters. As of June 30, 2025, we incurred an aggregate of $250,000 of legal fees from Wasserstrom, which were recorded within accrued offering costs in the financial statements included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”. On June 25, 2024, we paid $50,000 and the remainder ($125,000 at December 31, 2024) is recorded within deferred legal fees since it is due at the time of the Business Combination.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements” in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Making estimates requires Management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements”, which Management consider in formulating its estimated, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of June 30, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Management, including our Certifying Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
