Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on June 14, 2024. Our purpose is to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses that we have not yet identified (“Business Combination”). We intend to use cash from our initial public offering and the sale of private placement units, as well as debt or a combination of cash, shares, and debt to complete our Business Combination.
We expect to continue incurring significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans, but we cannot assure that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have not engaged in any operations or generated any revenues to date. Our activities from June 14, 2024 (inception) through March 31, 2025 were organizational, preparing for our initial public offering, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after completing our Business Combination.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net income of $2,018,521, which consists of $2,339,304 in interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account, partially offset by $320,783 in operating costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 16, 2024, we completed our Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously, we sold 805,000 Private Placement Units at $10.00 per unit, generating $8,050,000 in gross proceeds.
After the Initial Public Offering, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $231,150,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $13,354,261 in expenses, including $4,600,000 in cash underwriting fees, $8,050,000 in deferred underwriting fees, and $704,261 in other offering costs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $162,285. Net income of $2,018,521 was affected by $2,339,304 in interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account, with $158,498 provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities.
As of March 31, 2025, we had $233,983,157 in cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account (including $2,833,157 in interest income, net of unrealized losses). We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account to complete our Business Combination, with any interest earned (net of taxes payable) used as working capital.
We had $1,221,107 in cash held outside the Trust Account, which we intend to use for identifying and evaluating target businesses, due diligence, travel, and other transaction costs.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet financing arrangements as of March 31, 2025. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, or guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities.
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 Chairman, CEO, President, and CFO up to $20,000 per month for their services. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred $60,000 in fees for these services.
The underwriters are also entitled to a deferred underwriting fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $8,050,000 in the aggregate, payable from the Trust Account upon completion of a Business Combination.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption: The public shares contain a redemption feature that allows for the redemption of such shares in connection with our liquidation or a shareholder vote or tender offer for our initial Business Combination. We classify these public shares outside of permanent equity, and recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur, adjusting the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which requires additional segment reporting disclosures. This ASU became effective for us as of December 31, 2024, and our management has adopted it into our financial statements and related disclosures.
Overall, we are a newly formed blank check company focused on completing a Business Combination. We have not yet generated any operating revenues, but have incurred costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. Our liquidity and capital resources are primarily derived from our initial public offering and private placement, which we intend to use to identify, evaluate, and complete a Business Combination in the future.
