1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Talon Capital Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 8, 2025. On September 10, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of
Transaction costs amounted to $
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, on September 10, 2025, an amount of $

The Company will provide the holders of the public Units, or the “public shareholders,” with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to consummation of the initial business combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of permitted withdrawals), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, subject to limitations. The amount in the Trust Account is initially invested at $
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a business combination with (or acquisition of) a target business. As used herein, “Target Business” must be with one or more Target Businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a business combination, will either (i) seek shareholder approval of the business combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the business combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable) or (ii) provide shareholders with the opportunity to have their shares redeemed by the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable, if any. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of the business combination or will allow shareholders to redeem their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek shareholder approval unless a vote is required by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, it will complete its business combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares are voted in favor of the business combination.
The Company will have 24 months from the closing date of the Initial Public Offering to complete its initial business combination. If the Company does not complete a business combination within this period of time, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem

The ordinary shares 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.”
Liquidity
The Company’s liquidity needs up to March 31, 2026, had been satisfied through the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of up to $
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or 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 is 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 such loaned amounts at that time. Up to $
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” the Company does not believe it will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating its business. However, if the estimate of the costs of identifying a Target Business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the initial business combination. The Company will have 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete the initial business combination. Management has determined that the Company has sufficient funds to finance the working capital needs of the Company within one year from the date of issuance of the unaudited condensed financial statements.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 period presented.
7
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the period from the Company’s inception on May 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (as amended, the “Annual Report”) as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 27, 2026. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026, 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 auditor 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 the unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with 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 unaudited condensed financial statements.
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 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
Cash Held in Trust Account
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounting to $
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, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” 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 Class A ordinary shares and Warrants, prorate, allocating the Initial Public Offering proceeds to the assigned value of the Warrants and to the Class A ordinary shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity, and offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Units were charged to shareholders’ deficit as Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants after management’s evaluation were accounted for under equity treatment.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 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.
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 no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. 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, and the Company believes it is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.
9
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, including cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. The carrying value of assets held in the Trust Account approximates fair value due to the highly liquid nature of the investments held therein.
Warrant Instruments
The Company accounted 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.
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which 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 Company’s initial business combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to possible redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur 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 value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:
| Gross proceeds | $ | |||
| Less: | ||||

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 shares of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. The Company has two classes of ordinary shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares is excluded from income per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

Recent Accounting Standards
The Company does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.
3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
In the Initial Public Offering on September 10, 2025, the Company sold
Warrants — As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were
In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial business combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $
11
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of the initial business combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration under the Securities Act of the Warrant shares and thereafter use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the expiration of the Warrants. No Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the issuance of the Warrant shares and a current prospectus relating thereto.
If a registration statement covering the issuance of the Warrant shares is not effective within 90 days following the consummation of the initial business combination, Warrant holders may nevertheless, until such time as there is such an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain such an effective registration statement, exercise Warrants on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. In this circumstance, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering Warrants exercisable for the 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 such Warrants and the difference between the exercise price of such Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” means the average reported last sale price of the Class A ordinary shares for the five trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of exercise.
Redemption of Warrants: The Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants:
| ● | at a price of $ |
| ● | upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “ |

The Company will not redeem the Warrants unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Warrant shares underlying the Warrants to be so redeemed is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Warrant shares is available throughout the
If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption, each Warrant holder may exercise his, her or its Warrants prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A ordinary shares may fall below the $
12
No fractional Class A ordinary share will be issued upon redemption. If, upon redemption, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of Class A ordinary shares to be issued to the holder.
4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT UNITS
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Cohen purchased an aggregate of
Certain proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a business combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, such proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law).

Advances from related party represent payment of expenses by an affiliate of the Sponsor that are not covered by the Promissory Note. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, no advances from related party have been made.
Working Capital Loans
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. 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 $

6. COMMITMENTS
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected by various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s ability to consummate an initial business combination could be impacted by, among other things, changes in laws or regulations, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, 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. The Company 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 the Company’s ability to complete an initial business combination.
14
Registration Rights
The Company’s initial shareholders and their permitted transferees can demand that the Company register the founder shares, the Private Placement Shares, the Private Placement Warrants and underlying securities and any securities issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, pursuant to an agreement signed on September 8, 2025. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of a majority of these securities or units issued in payment of Working Capital Loans made to the Company (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights on registration statements filed after the Company’s consummation of a business combination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the representative of the underwriters may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of Initial Public Offering. In addition, the representative of the underwriters may participate in a piggyback registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statement.

The founder shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares in connection with the consummation of the initial business combination or earlier at the option of the holder on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. The Class A ordinary shares issuable in connection with the conversion of the founder shares may result in material dilution to public shareholders due to the anti-dilution rights of founder shares that may result in an issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares, or any other equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts sold in the Initial Public Offering and related to or in connection with the closing of the initial business combination, the ratio at which Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate,

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements 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 the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the unaudited condensed statement of operations as net income or loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheets as total assets.

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 between the Company and Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company.
General and administrative costs 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 Business 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 unaudited condensed statement of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the condensed balance sheet date, the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on May 1, 2025, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “business combination”). We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering (as defined below) and the sale of the private placement units, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
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.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from May 1, 2025 (inception) through March 31, 2026 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after our 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. Subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, we generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash held in the trust account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
18
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had a net income of $1,971,217, which consists of interest income on cash held in the trust account of $2,314,024, offset by general and administrative expenses of $342,807.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On September 10, 2025, we consummated the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 24,900,000 units, which includes the partial exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 2,400,000 units, at $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $249,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 779,000 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) to the Sponsor and Cohen and Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC (“Cohen”), generating gross proceeds of $7,790,000. Of those 779,000 private placement units, the Sponsor purchased 530,000 private placement units and Cohen purchased 249,000 private placement units.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, a total of $249,000,000 was placed in a trust account located in the United States managed by Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”). The proceeds held in the Trust Account will be invested or held only in either (i) U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, (ii) as uninvested cash, or (iii) an interest or non-interest bearing bank demand deposit account or other accounts at a bank. We are permitted to withdraw amounts from the Trust Account (i) to fund our working capital requirements, which amount will be the lesser of $500,000 or 5% of the interest earned on the Trust Account per annum, and/or (ii) to pay our taxes (other than excise taxes, if any), provided that all permitted withdrawals can only be made (x) from interest and not from the principal held in the Trust Account and (y) only to the extent such interest is in amount sufficient to cover the permitted withdrawal amount (“permitted withdrawals”). We incurred $14,742,001, consisting of $4,040,000 of cash underwriting fee (net of $700,000 underwriters’ reimbursement), $10,200,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $502,001 of other offering costs.
The remaining proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement are held outside the Trust Account, in the cash operating account amounting to $2,653,957 as of March 31, 2026. Such funds are being used primarily to enable us to identify a target and to negotiate and consummate our initial business combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $218,670. Net income of $1,971,217 was affected by interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $2,314,024, cash withdrawn from Trust Account for working capital purposes of $82,657. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $41,480 of cash for operating activities.
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash held in the Trust Account of $254,327,006 (including approximately $2,314,024 of interest income) consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account as described above. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of any permitted withdrawals and excluding deferred underwriting commissions), 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 March 31, 2026, we had cash of $2,653,957. 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.
19
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 loaned amounts. 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 loaned amounts 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 units of the post-business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit. The private placement units issued upon conversion of any such loans would be identical to the private placement units sold in the Private Placement concurrently with the Initial Public Offering.
We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a 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 business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor and/or its affiliates $40,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative services.
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount amounting to $240,000 which is payable to the underwriters upon the completion of an initial business combination. In addition, the underwriters were entitled to $0.40 per unit sold in the offering, or up to $9,960,000 in the aggregate, payable to the underwriters based on the percentage of funds remaining in the Trust Account after redemptions of public shares, for deferred underwriting commissions, and to be released to the underwriters only upon the completion of an initial business combination. Furthermore, 50% of such deferred underwriting commissions will be contingent upon permitted withdrawals of interest, at the lesser of $500,000 or 5% of the interest earned per annum, on the Trust Account per annum, for working capital from the Trust Account.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 unaudited condensed 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, 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 materially differ from those estimates.
Warrant Instruments
The Company accounted 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 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 condensed unaudited condensed financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. 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 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 executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to al ow 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 our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective, Accordingly, management believes that the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Annual Report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter of 2025 covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 779,000 private placement units at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit, in the Private Placement, to the Sponsor and Cohen, generating gross proceeds of $7,790,000.
