NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS
D. BORAL ARC ACQUISITION I CORP. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on March 20, 2025. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). While the Company may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any business, industry, sector or geographical location, the Company intends to focus on industries that complement our management team’s background, and to capitalize on the ability of our management team to identify and acquire a business.
At June 30, 2025, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity through June 30, 2025 related to the Company’s formation and the Initial Public Offering (as defined below). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end. 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 sponsor is MFH 1, LLC (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 30, 2025. On August 1, 2025, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of units (the
“Units” and, with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units being
offered, the “Public Shares”), at $ per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $
Simultaneously with the consummation of the closing of the Offering, the Company consummated
the private placement of an aggregate of units (the “Placement Units”) to
the Sponsor at a price of $ per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $
Transaction costs amounted to $
In conjunction with the IPO, the Company issued to the underwriter Class
A ordinary shares for no consideration (the “Representative Shares”). The fair value
of the Representative Shares accounted for as compensation under Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) is included
in the offering costs. The estimated fair value of the Representative Shares as of
the IPO date totaled $
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 1, 2025, an amount of $
5
On August 11, 2025, the underwriters of the IPO notified the Company of their partial exercise
of the over-allotment option and purchased additional units (the “Option
Units”) at $ per unit upon the closing of the over-allotment option, generating
gross proceeds of $
The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of our initial business combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the initial business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with a proposed Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of how they vote for the Business Combination.
The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $ per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriter. These ordinary shares was recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”
If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association conduct the redemptions pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, which regulate issuer tender offers, and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, which regulates the solicitation of proxies.
The sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private shares and public shares in connection with the completion of our initial business combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares, private shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares and private shares if the Company fail to complete our initial business combination within the completion window, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame and to liquidating distributions from assets outside the trust account; and (iv) vote any founder shares and private shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after this offering (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of our initial business combination (except that any public shares such parties may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction).
The Company will have until 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering,
with one (1) three-month extension at the option of the sponsor (as may be extended
by shareholder approval to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles
of association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate our initial
business combination) or until such earlier liquidation date as our board of directors
may approve, to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the
Company is unable to complete 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
(and subject to lawfully available funds therefor), redeem the public shares, at a
per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in
the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account
(which interest shall be net of taxes and less up to $
6
The underwriter has agreed to waive its rights to the deferred underwriting commission held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).
The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us (except for the Company’s independent auditors), or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked our sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether our sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believe that our sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure you that our sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the trust account, the funds available for our initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, the Company may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $
The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering were satisfied
through the payment of $ from the Sponsor to cover for certain offering costs
on the Company’s behalf in exchange for issuance of Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4), and loan
from the Sponsor of $
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” Management has determined that the Company has funds that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company until the earlier of the consummation of an initial Business Combination or in excess of one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. The Company cannot ensure that its plans to consummate an initial Business Combination, or to raise additional capital if necessary, will be successful. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
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 financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires 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 revenues and 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.
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 had $

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting
Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist
principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial
Public Offering. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 Public Units between
Class A ordinary shares and warrants, using the residual method by allocating Initial
Public Offering proceeds first to assigned value of the warrants and then to the Class
A ordinary shares. Offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares subject
to possible redemption were charged to temporary equity, and offering costs allocated
to the warrants included in the Public Units and Private Units were charged to shareholder’s equity as the warrants, after management’s evaluation, were accounted for under equity treatment. As of August 1, 2025, the Company had offering costs of $
Income Taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC Topic 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’s management determined that the British Virgin Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2025 and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. 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 a BVI business company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the British Virgin Islands or the United States. As such, the provision for income taxes was deemed to be de minimis for the period from March 20, 2025 (inception) to June 30, 2025
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The underwriters’ over-allotment option is deemed to be a freestanding financial instrument indexed to the contingently redeemable shares and was accounted for as a liability pursuant to ASC 480 if not fully exercised at the time of the Initial Public Offering.

Warrant Instruments
The Company accounted for the
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 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 amount 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, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. As of June 30, 2025, there was no Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption. As of August 13, 2025, the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:
| Gross proceeds from IPO, August 1, 2025 | $ | |||

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding ordinary shares subject to forfeiture. At June 30, 2025, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the periods presented.
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit
risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed
the Federal depository insurance coverage of $

Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
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 recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.
Any of the above-mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires the disclosure of additional segment information. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 as of the inception of the Company. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure (“ASU 2023-09”), which enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 as of the inception of the Company. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of Private Units at a price of $ per Placement Unit raising $
The proceeds from the sale of the Private Units were added to the net proceeds from the Offering held in the Trust Account. The Placement Units are identical to the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, as described in Note 7. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Warrants will expire worthless.

With certain limited exceptions, the founder shares are not transferable, assignable or saleable (except to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with our sponsor, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the completion of our initial business combination.

On August 1, 2025, the Company issued representative shares to D. Boral Capital, LLC and/or its designees (whether or not the over-allotment is exercised) as part of representative compensation (the “Representative Shares”). The Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales of this offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). Pursuant to this FINRA lock-up, these securities cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated or the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days from the commencement of sales of the Initial Public Offering except as permitted under FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2), including to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the Initial Public Offering and their officers or partners, registered persons or affiliates. The Representative Shares have resale registration rights including two demand (one at the Company’s expense and one at D. Boral Capital, LLC’s expense) and unlimited “piggy-back” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the commencement of sales of the Initial Public Offering.

Registration Rights
The holders of the (i) founder shares, which were issued in a private placement prior to the closing of the initial public offering, (ii) Private Units (including the component securities as well as any securities underlying those component securities), which was issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering and (iii) private units (including the component securities as well as any securities underlying those component securities) that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans will have registration rights to require the Company to register a sale of any of our securities held by them and any other securities of the company acquired by them prior to the consummation of a Business Combination pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the initial public offering.

In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination. The registration rights granted to the underwriter are limited to two demand (one at the Company’s expense and one at D. Boral Capital, LLC’s expense) and unlimited “piggy-back” rights for periods of five and seven years, respectively, from the commencement of sales of the Initial Public Offering. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were not entitled to any cash underwriting fee at closing of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters were entitled to Representative Shares (whether or not the over-allotment is exercised) at closing of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters will not be entitled to any deferred underwriting fee upon closing of the Business Combination.
NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDER’S EQUITY
Preference shares — The Company is authorized to issue preference shares with a par value of $ per share. Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. On June 30, 2025, there were preferred shares issued or outstanding.
Class A Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue ordinary shares with a par value of $ per share. Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of June 30, 2025, there were class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding. On August 1, 2025, as a result of closing of the IPO and no exercise of the Representative’s Over-Allotment Option, there were class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding, excluding class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption.
Class B Ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue ordinary shares with a par value
of $ per share. Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. On June 30, 2025 and August 1, 2025, there were ordinary shares issued and outstanding. On March 25, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of ordinary shares to the Sponsor
for an aggregate purchase price of $

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically
convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of our initial business combination,
or at any time prior thereto at the option of the holder thereof, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as provided herein. Because
our sponsor acquired the Class B ordinary shares at a nominal price, our public shareholders will incur an immediate and substantial
dilution upon the closing of this offering, assuming no value is ascribed to the warrants included in the units. In the case that additional
Class A ordinary shares, or equity-linked securities (as described herein), are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts issued
in this offering and related to the closing of our initial business combination, the ratio at which the Class B ordinary shares will
convert into Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B ordinary
shares agree to waive such anti-dilution 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, % of the sum of (i) the total
number of all Class A ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of this offering (including any Class A ordinary shares issued
pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option and excluding the Class A ordinary shares that are included within the private
units), plus (ii) all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued, in connection with the closing of
the initial business combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial
business combination and any units issued to our sponsor or any of its affiliates or to our officers or directors upon conversion of
working capital loans) minus (iii) any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders in connection with an initial business
combination; provided that such conversion of founder shares will never occur on a less than
Holders of record of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Unless specified in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or as required by the Companies Act or stock exchange rules, an ordinary resolution under British Virgin Islands law and the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting of the company is generally required to approve any matter voted on by the Company’s shareholders. Approval of certain actions require an ordinary resolution under British Virgin Islands law, which (except as specified below) requires the affirmative vote of in excess of 50 percent of the votes cast by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at the applicable general meeting, and pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, such actions include amending the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, meaning, following the Company’s initial Business Combination, the holders of more than 50% of the ordinary shares voted for the appointment of directors can elect all of the directors. Prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Class B ordinary shares will (i) have the right to vote on the appointment and removal of directors and (ii) be entitled to vote on continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands (including any ordinary resolution required to amend the constitutional documents or to adopt new constitutional documents, in each case, as a result of approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the British Virgin Islands). Holders of the Class A ordinary shares will not be entitled to vote on these matters during such time. These provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended if approved by an ordinary resolution passed by the affirmative vote of the holders representing at least 90% of the issued Class B ordinary shares.
Warrants — Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares
will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. The Warrants will become exercisable

The Company may call the Warrants for redemption:
| ● | in whole and not in part; |
| ● | at a price of $ |
| ● | if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any trading days within a -trading day period commencing at least 30 days after completion of our initial business combination and ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. |
The private warrants is identical to the warrants sold in this offering except that, so long as they are held by our sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private warrants (i) are locked-up until the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) will be entitled to registration rights.
The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.
The exercise price is $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described herein.
In addition, if (x) we issue additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities
for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business
combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class
A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined
in good faith by our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to our
initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founder
shares held by our initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to
such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such
issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds (including from such
issuances and this offering), and interest thereon, available for the funding of our
initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business
combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price
of our Class A ordinary shares during the trading day period starting on the trading
day prior to the day on which we consummate our initial business combination (such

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
16
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value as of August 1, 2025, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
| Level | August 1, 2025 | ||||||
| Liability: | |||||||
| Fair value of over-allotment liability | 3 | $ | |||||
| Equity: | |||||||
| Fair value of Public Warrants for Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption allocation | 3 | $ | |||||
The over-allotment option was accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC 815-40 and was presented within liabilities on the balance sheet. The over-allotment option liability is measured at fair value at August 1, 2025 and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of over-allotment option liability in the statement of operations.
The Company used a Black-Scholes model to value the over-allotment option. The over-allotment option liability was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the measurement dates due to the use of unobservable inputs inherent in pricing models and assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary share based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the over-allotment option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the over-allotment option. The expected life of the over-allotment option is assumed to be equivalent to its remaining contractual term.
The key inputs into the Black-Scholes model were as follows at initial measurement of the over-allotment option:
| August 1, 2025 | ||||
| Risk-free interest rate | % | |||
| Expected term (years) | ||||
| Expected volatility | % | |||
| Exercise price | $ | |||
| Fair value of over-allotment option | $ | |||
The fair value of Public Warrants was determined using Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The Public Warrants have been classified within shareholders’ equity and will not require remeasurement after issuance. The following table presents the quantitative information regarding market assumptions used in the valuation of the Public Warrants:
| August 1, 2025 | ||||
| Estimated share price | $ | |||
| Exercise price | $ | |||
| Term (years) | ||||
| Annual risk-free rate (term-matched) | % | |||
| Expected warrant implied volatility based on warrants from comparable SPAC securities | % | |||

NOTE 9. SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Financial Officer (“CODM”), who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment.
When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:
For the Period from | ||||
| (Unaudited) | ||||
| Formation and operating costs | $ | ( | ) | |
The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by the CODM are formation and operating costs. Formation and operating costs are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Proposed Offering and eventually a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews formation and operating costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued, the Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred through the date the audited financial statements were available to issue. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements except the following.
On August 1, 2025, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $ per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $
Simultaneously with the consummation of the closing of the Offering, the Company consummated
the private placement of an aggregate of units (the “Private Units”) to the Sponsor at a price of $ per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $
On August 11, 2025, the underwriters of the IPO notified the Company of their partial exercise
of the over-allotment option and purchased additional units (the “Option
Units”) at $ per unit upon the closing of the over-allotment option, generating
gross proceeds of $

Overview
The Company is a blank check company formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on March 20, 2025 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (a “Business Combination”) with one or more businesses. The Company intends to effectuate its initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) the private placement of the placement units (“Placement Units”), the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial Business Combination, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial Business Combination plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial 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 inception to June 30, 2025 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We expect to continue to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and marketable securities held after the Initial Public Offering. We expect that we will incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with completing a business combination.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $36,000, which was operating costs.
For the period from March 20, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $41,420, which was formation and operating costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, we had available to us $25,000 of cash on our balance sheet and a working capital deficit of $189,461.
19
Subsequent to the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on August 1, 2025, D. Boral ARC Acquisition I Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its IPO, which consisted of 25,000,000 units (the “Units”). The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $250,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), of the Company, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Warrant”) of the Company, with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Company has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments, if any.
Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private placement of an aggregate of 200,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor at $10.00 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-half of one redeemable Warrant, each whole Warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share of the Company. The Warrants contained in the Private Placement Units are identical to the Warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. 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.
On August 11, 2025, the underwriters of the IPO notified the Company of their partial exercise of the over-allotment option and purchased 3,000,000 additional units (the “Option Units”) at $10.00 per unit upon the closing of the over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $30,000,000. The over-allotment option closed on August 13, 2025.
As of the date hereof, the underwriters did not exercise their option to purchase an additional 750,000 Option Units pursuant to the exercise of the over-allotment option.
We intend to use the funds held outside of the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. The interest income earned on the investments in the Trust Account are unavailable to fund operating expenses.
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $2,500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation of a Business Combination into additional Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.
The Company will have until the date that is 18 months from the closing of the IPO, with one (1) three-month extension at the option of the sponsor (as may be extended further by shareholder approval to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination) or until such earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may approve, to consummate our initial business combination. If we anticipate that we may be unable to consummate our initial business combination within such 18-month period (or 21-month period if the sponsor exercises its three month-extension option), we may seek shareholder approval to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. There are no limitations on the number of times we may seek shareholder approval for an extension or the length of time of any such extension. However, if we seek shareholder approval for an extension, holders of public shares will be offered an opportunity to redeem their shares at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned thereon (less taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination within 18 months from the closing of this offering, with one (1) three-month extension at the option of the sponsor, or by such earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may approve, we will redeem 100% of the public shares at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned thereon (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest income to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law as further described herein.
20
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
We have not entered any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities. Commencing on the date of the prospectus and until completion of the Company’s Business Combination or liquidation, the Company will reimburse MFH 1, LLC, the Sponsor, up to an amount of $20,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed 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. 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 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. As of June 30, 2025, we did not have any critical accounting estimates to be disclosed.
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
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, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level and, accordingly, provided reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
To the knowledge of our management, there is no litigation currently pending against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Report. For additional risks relating to our operations, other than as set forth below, see the section titled “Risk Factors” contained in our final prospectus for the IPO filed with the SEC. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risks could arise that may also affect our business or ability to consummate an initial Business Combination. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity
As a blank check company, we have no operations and therefore do not have any operations of our own that face material cybersecurity threats. However, we do depend on the digital technologies of third parties, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, any sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, systems or infrastructure or the cloud that we utilize, including those of third parties, could lead to corruption or misappropriation of our assets, proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data. Because of our reliance on the technologies of third parties, we also depend upon the personnel and the processes of third parties to protect against cybersecurity threats, and we have no personnel or processes of our own for this purpose. In the event of a cybersecurity incident impacting us, the management team will report to the board of directors and provide updates on the management team’s incident response plan for addressing and mitigating any risks associated with such an incident. As an early-stage company without significant investments in data security protection, we may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences. We also lack sufficient resources to adequately protect against, or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have material adverse consequences on our business and lead to financial loss. We have established certain processes for identifying, evaluating, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats as a part of our overall technology management strategy. These processes are designed and reassessed on a periodic basis to help protect our technology assets and operations from internal and external security threats.
