disclosure controls and procedures financial
"Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed"
Policies, routines and internal checks a public company uses to identify, collect and verify information that must appear in its financial reports and public filings, and to make sure that material news is disclosed accurately and on time. Investors care because effective controls increase confidence that the company’s reported numbers and disclosures are reliable and reduce the risk of surprises, much like a building’s inspection and alarm system helps occupants trust the structure’s safety.
internal control over financial reporting financial
"our Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting"
Internal control over financial reporting is a company’s system of procedures and checks designed to make sure its financial statements are accurate and complete, like a set of guardrails and verification steps that catch mistakes or fraud before numbers are published. Investors care because strong controls make reported results more trustworthy, lower the risk of surprise restatements or regulatory problems, and give greater confidence when valuing the company or comparing it to peers.
emerging growth company financial
"due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act financial
"under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act"
A federal law that requires publicly traded companies to follow strict procedures for keeping accurate financial records, performing internal checks, and keeping auditors independent so financial statements can be trusted. It matters to investors because it lowers the chance of fraud or misleading reports—like adding an extra set of locks and routine inspections to a safe—making it easier to judge a company's true financial health and investment risk.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Translational Development Acquisition Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2026 (the “Original Filing”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the same meanings assigned to such terms in the Original Filing.

 

We are filing this Amendment in response to a comment letter received from the SEC, dated April 30, 2026, in connection with its review of the Original Filing. We are amending and restating in its entirety Part II, Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” in connection with the filing of this Amendment. We have also included in this Amendment, updated certifications by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures contained in the Original Filing, and accordingly, this Amendment does not reflect or purport to reflect any information or events occurring after the original filing date or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company’s other filings with the SEC.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief financial officer (our “certifying officer”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our certifying officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our Company,

 

  (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our Management and directors, and

 

  (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making these assessments, Management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, Management determined that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.

 

This Report does not include an attestation report of our internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

FAQ

What is the purpose of Translational Development Acquisition Corp. (TDAC) filing this Form 10-K/A amendment?

TDAC filed this Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 1 to revise only its controls and procedures disclosure. The company is responding to an SEC comment letter by amending and restating Item 9A and providing updated officer certifications, while leaving all other original Form 10-K disclosures unchanged.

What did TDAC conclude about its disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025?

TDAC’s management, including its chief financial officer, concluded disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025. They evaluated these controls under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), aiming to ensure required information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported timely for SEC reporting and internal decision-making.

How did TDAC assess its internal control over financial reporting in this 10-K/A?

Management assessed internal control over financial reporting using the COSO Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). They determined these controls were effective as of December 31, 2025, providing reasonable assurance about reliable financial reporting and GAAP-compliant financial statements, while acknowledging inherent limitations in any internal control system.

Did TDAC report changes to internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter?

TDAC reported no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, those controls. This statement indicates stability in their control environment over that quarter, consistent with the effectiveness conclusion disclosed for year-end 2025.

Why doesn’t TDAC include an auditor attestation on internal control over financial reporting?

The report explains there is no auditor attestation on internal control over financial reporting because TDAC qualifies as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. That status exempts it from the requirement for its independent registered public accounting firm to issue an attestation report on internal control effectiveness.

What share counts and market value does TDAC disclose in this amended filing?

TDAC discloses aggregate market value of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares of $177,675,000 as of June 30, 2025. It also reports 17,250,000 Class A ordinary shares and 4,657,500 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of March 30, 2026, providing capital structure context.
