Current report

For the period from June 27, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025, we did not have any net income or net loss.

Current report

For the period from June 27, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $0. The Company had no operating activities during the period and incurred no operating expenses. As a result, the Company reported no net income or net loss and had no changes in operating assets or liabilities.

Current report

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”, Management has determined that we currently lack the liquidity we need to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report under Item 1. “Financial Statements” are issued, as we expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. In addition, Management has determined that if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to the end of the Combination Period. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after December 19, 2027. There can be no assurance that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.
Removed paragraphs (5)

Previous report

We initially have until December 19, 2027 to consummate the initial Business Combination (assume no extensions). If we do not complete a Business Combination, we will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. Notwithstanding management’s belief that we would have sufficient funds to execute its business strategy, there is a possibility that Business Combination might not happen within the 24-month period from the date of the Initial Public Offering.

Previous report

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASC 205-40, “Going Concern,” as of March 31, 2026, we may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, shareholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Our officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet our working capital needs. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

Previous report

Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the end of the Combination Period, currently December 19, 2027, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. Management has determined that the liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. We intend to complete the initial Business Combination before the end of the Combination Period. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Combination Period.

Previous report

In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” we do not currently believe we will need to raise additional funds 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.
