McKinley Acquisition Corporation, a blank check company, filed its quarterly report showing it is still seeking a business combination and has not begun operating activities. Total assets were $178.2M as of March 31, 2026, including $176.7M of cash in its Trust Account and $1.4M of cash outside the trust.
The company reported net income of $1.29M for the quarter, driven by $1.52M of interest income on Trust Account assets, partially offset by formation and public‑company operating costs. Most public Class A shares are classified as redeemable, and shareholders may redeem in connection with a future merger vote or if no deal is completed within the specified timeframe.
Management disclosed that, despite working capital of $1.44M, there is “substantial doubt” about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from issuance of the financial statements unless it completes a business combination. Until then, the Trust Account remains restricted for use in a merger or shareholder redemptions.
