Peace Acquisition (NASDAQ: PECE) flags going concern risk after $60.3M SPAC trust funding
Peace Acquisition Corp, a newly formed SPAC, reported a net loss of $56,387 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, mainly from formation and operating costs of $56,396. Cash was only $1,025, with total assets of $243,507 and a working capital deficit of $242,349.
Management concluded these conditions raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year. After quarter-end, the SPAC completed its IPO on May 26, 2026, selling 6,000,000 units at $10.00 each and 262,500 private placement units, with $60,300,000 placed in a trust account to fund a future business combination.
The company has 15 months from May 26, 2026 to close a business combination or redeem all public shares for the cash held in trust. Management also disclosed a material weakness in internal controls due to a lack of a qualified SEC reporting professional, though additional review steps were taken to ensure the financial statements are fairly presented.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Going concern uncertainty: As of March 31, 2026, minimal cash, a working capital deficit of $242,349, and ongoing costs led management to conclude there is substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued.
- Internal control weakness: Management determined disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the lack of a qualified SEC reporting professional, requiring additional analysis to ensure accurate financial statements.
Insights
Substantial going concern risk despite $60.3M SPAC trust funding.
Peace Acquisition Corp is an early-stage SPAC that posted a modest net loss of $56,387 for Q1 2026, but more importantly showed a working capital deficit of $242,349 and very limited cash of $1,025 before its IPO.
Management explicitly determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued. Although typical for a pre-IPO SPAC to rely on sponsor financing, the formal going concern language is still a material risk disclosure.
After the quarter, the company completed a $60,000,000 IPO and private placement, placing $60,300,000 into a trust account earmarked for a future business combination. Separately, a disclosed material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, tied to a lack of SEC reporting expertise, adds process risk until remediation efforts fully take hold.

PEACE ACQUISITION CORP
Notes to the financial statements (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Peace Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 24, 2025. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital 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 sector 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.
The Company’s sponsors are Baystar Holding Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, and Casper Holding LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Sponsors”). As of March 31, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from June 24, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2026 relates to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The
registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on May 14, 2026. On May 26, 2026, the Company consummated the IPO
of
Transaction
costs amounted to $
The Company will have until 15 months from May 26, 2026, the closing of the IPO, to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Public Shares (the holders of the Public Shares, including the Company’s initial shareholders and/or members of its management team to the extent they purchase Public Shares, are referred to as the “Public Shareholders”), at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned and not previously released to pay taxes, if any, or for working capital requirements (less certain amount of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

| 6 |
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statement is issued. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and for the three months then ended, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the rules of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals), considered for a fair presentation have been included. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financials included in Form S-1 filing. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future interim periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (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, 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 which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which 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 financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
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 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.

Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred
offering costs consist of legal and other costs (including underwriting discounts and commissions) incurred through the balance sheet
date that are directly related to the IPO and that will be charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. As of
March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had deferred offering costs of $
Share-Based Compensation Expense
The Company account for share-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, share-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. To the extent a share-based award is subject to a performance condition, the amount of expense recorded in a given period, if any, reflects an assessment of the probability of achieving such performance condition, with compensation recognized once the event is deemed probable to occur. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
| 8 |
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. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
as income tax expense. There were
There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

EBC has also agreed that the EBC founder shares cannot be sold, transferred or assigned (except to the same permitted transferees as the founder shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the founder shares must agree to, each as described herein) until the consummation of an initial business combination.

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 Israel-Hamas conflict.

Any of the above-mentioned factors could adversely affect the Company’s search for an Initial Business Combination.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
References to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Peace Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes related thereto. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. While our efforts in identifying prospective target businesses will not be limited to a particular geographic region, we intend to focus our search on businesses throughout Asia. However, we will not consummate our initial business combination with an entity or business in China.
We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target with respect to an initial business combination with us. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of this offering and the private placement of the private units, the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial business combination, if any, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, share and debt.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the initial public offering (“IPO”). Following the IPO, we will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents after the IPO. After the IPO, we expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as expenses as we conduct due diligence on prospective business combination candidates. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after the closing of the IPO.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred formation and operating costs of $56,396 and generated bank interest income of $9, resulting in a net loss of $56,387.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On May 26, 2026, the Company consummated the IPO of 6,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the ordinary share included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit (or 6,900,000 Units if the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full), and the sale of 262,500 Units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in private placements to the Sponsors that was closed simultaneously with the IPO.
Following the closing of the IPO, an amount of $60,000,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account. The funds held in the Trust Account may be invested in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account, to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial 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.
Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we have approximately $400,000 of proceeds held outside the trust account. We will use these funds 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, structure, negotiate and complete a business combination, and to pay taxes to the extent the interest earned on the trust account is not sufficient to pay our taxes.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following this offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination.

Deferred Offering Costs
We comply with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1 relating to deferred offering costs. Deferred offering costs consist of legal, accounting, advisory, administrative, and other costs (including underwriting discounts and commissions) incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to this offering and that will be charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the offering. Should the offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to operations.

Subject to certain limitations set forth in such agreement, the holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until the securities covered thereby are released from their lock-up restrictions. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
We granted EBC a 45-day option from the date of IPO to purchase up to 900,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On June 10, 2026, EBC elected to terminate the over-allotment option.
EBC was entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $1,200,000 in the aggregate (or $1,380,000 in the aggregate if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), payable upon the closing of the IPO.
Business Combination Marketing Agreement
We have engaged EBC as an advisor in connection with its Business Combination to assist in holding meetings with the Company stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with its initial Business Combination and assist with press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay EBC a service fee for such services upon the consummation of its initial Business Combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO. In addition, the Company will pay EBC a service fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the total consideration payable in the initial Business Combination if it introduces the Company to the target business with whom it completes an initial Business Combination and the amount will be payable in cash and is due at the closing date of the initial Business Combination.

Accounting Service Agreement
The Company has engaged Ascendant Global Advisors Inc., an affiliate of Casper Holding LP, to assist in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements commencing following the consummation of the IPO. The Company has agreed to pay for these services at a fixed quarterly rate of $5,250 each quarter.
Administration Fee
Commencing on the date the Company’s securities are first listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, Casper Holding LP is allowed to charge the Company an allocable share of its overhead, up to $10,000 per month to the close of the Business Combination, to compensate it for the Company’s use of its office, utilities and personnel.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting policies or estimates and all the significant accounting policies are described in the Note 2 of the financial statements.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
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 that are 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 our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s lack of qualified SEC reporting professional. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, result of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Management intends to continue implement remediation steps to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we intend to expand and improve our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We have improved this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information
Item 2 – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On July 9, 2025, Casper Holding LP, one of our sponsors, acquired an aggregate of 2,300,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. Thereafter, it transferred certain founder shares to Baystar Holding Group Limited, our other sponsor. Prior to the initial investment in our company of $25,000 by our sponsors, we had no assets, tangible or intangible. Up to 300,000 founder shares are subject to forfeiture by our sponsors depending on the extent to which the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised. On June 10, 2026, the underwriter elected to terminate the over-allotment option and as a result an aggregate of 300,000 founder shares were forfeited by the Sponsors. The issuance of the foregoing securities was exempt pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”).
On May 26, 2026, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 6,000,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one Ordinary Share, $0.0001 par value, of the Company, one Right, each Right entitling the holder thereof to receive one-fifth of one Ordinary Share upon the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, and one warrant to purchase one Ordinary Share for $11.50, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000. EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. acted as sole book-running manager of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-290759). The registration statement was declared effective on May 14, 2026.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated a private placement (the “Private Placements”) of 262,500 units (“Private Placement Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,625,000. The Private Placement Units were purchased by the Company’s sponsors and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc., the underwriter in the IPO. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO. The purchasers of the Private Placement Units have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Units or securities underlying the Private Placement Units, subject to certain customary exceptions, until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
On May 26, 2026, an aggregate of $60,300,000 has been deposited in the trust account established with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee in connection with the Initial Public Offering ($10.05 per unit sold in the offering, including the over-allotment option).
Transaction costs amounted to $1,812,486, consisting of $1,200,000 of cash underwriting fees, and $612,486 of other offering costs. These costs were charged to additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit to the extent additional paid-in capital is fully depleted upon completion of the IPO.
For a description of the proceeds generated in the Initial Public Offering, see Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
