Towards this end, on one hand, we will strengthen our creator-rewarding initiatives and programs and allocate more resources to enable content creators to thrive in our community. On the other hand, we will seek new licensing arrangements especially with companies owning large collections of intellectual properties and invest in creating original content. Leveraging our AI-powered engine, we intend to launch more service offerings to the creators on our platform, including embedding more AI-innovated content creation offerings to further streamline creators’ content creation process, and developing innovative marketing products to promote content created by creators on our platform.
We also seek to expand the content verticals on our platform, including genres and types, and introduce a blend of learning and entertainment content to our platform, ranging from entertainment to education, games and sports, which can be either generated by users or licensed by third-parties and can be free of charge or paid.
Furtherinnovate AI-powered tools and infrastructure
We will continue to innovate the technology capabilities of our platform, in particular our AI-powered content creation tools and machine learning technologies.

We will also continue to devote resources and upgrade our technology infrastructure to support future growth in user base and traffic.
Strengthenmonetization capabilities
We intend to drive monetization for the content and creator offerings on our platform through advertisements, sponsorships, pay-per-view and membership subscriptions. For example, we may introduce performance-based ad-sponsored content on our platform without compromising the experience for our users and may develop marketing and advertising product offerings for the creators on our platform.
In addition, we plan to launch pay-per-view and membership subscriptions for the animation video content created by the creators on our platform and help creators to distribute, license and monetize their content. We will soon launch GIBO Click, a monetization and operation engine to facilitate transaction-making and revenue-generation on our platform through multiple monetization models, such as launching advertising, offering membership subscriptions and pay-per-view options, and providing IT services.
We also seek to transform the integrated suite of AI-powered content creation offerings embedded in our platform from free-access to free-trial and subscription-based to derive subscription fees from creators on a one-time, monthly, quarterly or yearly basis in the future.

Leveraging machine learning, natural language processing and self-reinforcing generative AI algorithms, GIBO Create is a generative AI-powered content creation engine purposefully built upon our proprietary domain-specific AI models without reliance to generic open-source or third-party large language models. Prior to the launch of GIBO.ai platform, at the initial R&D stage, GIBO Create relied on curated datasets, of pre-processed text, image, audio and video derived from publicly available online data sources to validate and train the AI models. Following the debut of GIBO.ai, GIBO Create has been solely relying on the large amount of de-identified text, image, audio and video data input generated by users on GIBO.ai as a proprietary, multimodal training data repository to continuously fine-tune the AI models.
AIVoice Synthesis Tool
The AI voice synthesis tool available on GIBO.ai platform provides nuanced voice output that adds depth and emotion to characters, making them more lifelike and relatable. It offers more than three voice actors and supports English, Chinese and Japanese. It enables AI-generated content to be customized for different application scenarios, for example, an AI avatar in a video can use the AI voice synthesis tool as the background voice in a particular accent or tone that the content creator prefers. This could also be beneficial for enterprises with high demand in mass production as written content can be quickly transformed into spoken words without extra recording work, while the audio content is highly editable.
As of December 31, 2024, content creators had used our text-to-audio function for more than 3.8 million times. Major functions of AI voice synthesis tool include (i) text-to-speech voiceover, (ii) voice actors, and (iii) machine translation.

By utilizing the text-to-speech voiceover function, the content creators can generate a piece of high quality audio from text content (maximum 100 characters) in one go in different formats. Our text-to-speech function currently supports English, Chinese and Japanese. Below is a screenshot of our text-to-speech voiceover function.

| (ii) | Virtual Voice Actors |
|---|
We offer a wide range of virtual voice actors with differentiated voices and tones for content creators to try out and choose from. Content creators can select virtual voice actors and designate one-to-one voiceover to different characters in different languages and tones according to the genre of the video. The virtual voices are developed based on real person voice data. Content creators can first try out different virtual voices by listening to the demo and select the voices they like.
Moreover, the virtual voice actors on our platform are specifically designed to suit the characteristics of animation. As of December 31, 2024, an aggregate of four virtual male and female voice actors are available on the GIBO.ai platform, offering various tones of from calm to emotional and low-pitched to high-pitched, reflecting different characteristics of the characters developed by content creators.

Because our services are accessible from multiple jurisdictions, certain foreign jurisdictions may claim that we are required to comply with their laws, regulations, and obligations, including in jurisdictions where we have no local entity, employees or infrastructure. Working to comply with these varying international requirements could cause us to incur additional costs and change our business practices.
Further, our reputation and brand may be negatively affected by the actions of our users that are deemed to be hostile, offensive, inappropriate or unlawful. Although we maintain content management and review procedures, there can be no assurance that we can identify all the videos or other content that may violate relevant laws and regulations due to the large amount of content uploaded by our users every day. Failure to identify and prevent illegal or inappropriate content from being uploaded on our platform may subject us to liability. To the extent that local regulatory authorities find any content on our platform objectionable, they may require us to limit or eliminate the dissemination of such content on our platform in the form of take-down orders or otherwise. In such circumstances we may also be subject to liability under applicable law in a way which may not be fully mitigated by our terms of service.
Competition
According to Frost & Sullivan, the AIGC animation streaming platform market in Asia has experienced a tremendous growth in the past few years due to the revolutionized debut of generative AI technology. From 2019 to 2023, such market increased from US$4.3 billion to US$12.5 billion, representing a CAGR of 30.6%. We face competition principally from other AIGC animation streaming platforms, including (i) creator-facing ones, which provide technology services to animation creators with a suite of AI-powered tools, and (ii) viewer-facing ones, which provide streaming services to viewers to access animation content.
We believe that we are strategically well-positioned in the industry, and that we compete favorably based on our variety of content and service offerings, brand recognition, deep understanding of the AIGC animation streaming platform industry, advanced technologies, and superior user experience.

Overview
Founded with an aim to revolutionize content creation and consumption through AI, we have become a unique and integrated AIGC animation streaming platform with extensive functionalities provided to both viewers and creators that serves a broad community of young people across Asia to create, publish, share and enjoy AI-generated animation video content. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately 85.9 million registered users, including approximately 73,000 content creators, from 15 countries or regions in Asia, namely Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Bangladesh, India, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Laos. As of the same date, we had an average of approximately 37.5 million MAUs on our platform since its inception in September 2023. On our platform, young people create AI-generated content, discover the things they love, and interact and engage with one another.
Our technology platform powers the GIBO.ai website, which features AI-generated animation video content and provides an efficient, interactive, and easy-to-use way to create and share online comic content. GIBO.ai enables content creators to automate tasks, create personalized audio and graphics, obtain data-driven insights into the content they created, and explore new ideas through collaboration. GIBO.ai, launched in September 2023 and equipped with cutting-edge generative AI-powered technology for the generation of animation video content, emphasizes on the establishment of a sustainable ecosystem that can not only empower animation creators on the content creation process but also provide distribution channels for their works to be accessed and monetized by viewers on the platform.
The AI-generated animation video content on GIBO.ai, currently offered substantially in short-form entertainment videos, covers a wide variety of themes ranging from superhero to battle royale and generally tells stories from popular comic books in entertaining yet informative ways. Driven by the big data analytical capabilities, we learn user preferences with respect to content tags and personalize feeds accordingly. As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately 142,000 video uploads and approximately 112.3 billion aggregate video views on our platform. As of the same date, we had enabled over 44.0 million user interactions on our platform, including posts, comments, likes, shares, private messages.
GIBO.aioffers a suite of AI-powered content creation tools through GIBO Create, allowing content creators to employ AI tools through all stages of content creation. GIBO Create currently encompasses (i) AI Voice Synthesis Tool, (ii) AI Image Generator, (iii) Scriptwriting and Storyboarding Tool, and (iv) Audio-Visual Synchronization Tool. With the help of these tools, content creators can use GIBO Create to effortlessly generate (i) human-like voiceovers with premium quality in multiple languages, voices, tones and styles, and (ii) unique images in distinctive comic styles that visualize the creators’ ideas and can be generated in seconds with only a few simple clicks, enabling creators to expand creative possibilities, streamline content production, and create localized, engaging entertaining content. We have nurtured an encouraging community culture that respects creativity, rewards creators and motivates the creation of inspirational content, thorough which young people can connect with each other over shared interests in content. As of December 31, 2024, the content creators accumulatively utilized our text-to-image function for more than 1.1 million times and the text-to-audio function for more than 3.7 million times.
Leveraging our vibrant ecosystem comprised of highly-engaged users and talented creators of AI-generated content, we aim to form a virtuous cycle for commercialization. While access to our platform is currently free for all users, we plan to drive monetization through launching advertising, offering membership subscriptions and pay-per-view options, and providing IT services. In 2024 and 2023, we generated revenue of $30.0 million and nil, respectively, and incurred net losses of $24.9 million and $12.1 million, respectively.
KeyFactors that Affect Our Results of Operations
We believe the following key factors may affect our financial condition and results of operations:
OurAbility to Retain and Expand Our User Base Depends on Our Ability to Offer high-quality AI Animation Content that Meets User Preferencesand Demands.
Our success depends on our ability to offer high-quality content focused on animation and games. The breadth, depth, and quality of our AI animation content are fundamental in maintaining the attractiveness and value to our users. As of December 31, 2024, we have developed approximately 85.9 million registered users. We rely on our experience from past and current operations to offer, manage, and refine our high-quality AI animation content, which may not be effective as user preferences and market trends change. If we are unable to expand into new high quality AI animation content by diversifying our animation or gaming product pipeline, our ability to keep AI animation content offerings comprehensive and up-to-date may be adversely affected. If we are unable to keep up with evolving user preferences, we may experience a decline in the attractiveness of our user base.
| 17 |
| --- |
User generated content and professional generated user content are critical to our AI animation content offering. We encourage and support user generated content and professional generated content in providing AI animation content to sustain our popularity among users and as an effective for product development inspiration. Any failure in encouraging, supporting, and incentivizing user generated content may materially and adversely affect the breadth, depth, and quality of our AI animation content offerings. If we are unable to continue to offer high-quality AI animation content, the reputation and attractiveness of our brand could be compromised, and it may experience a decline in our user base, which could materially and adversely affect our business and future results of operations.
OurAbility to Control Costs and Expenses and Improve Our Operating Efficiency
Our business growth is dependent on our ability to improve our operating efficiency, which is determined by our abilities to monitor and adjust costs and expenses. Specifically, we consider our ability to monitor and adjust staffing costs (including payroll and employee benefit expenses), administrative expenses and research and development costs essential to the success of our business. If our operating costs exceed our estimated budget, our operational efficiency might decrease, having an adverse impact on our business, results of operation, and financial condition.
OurAbility to Compete Successfully
We face significant competition from other animation and gaming companies and other players in the online entertainment market. Some of our competitors, including have a longer operating history, a large user base, or greater financial resources than we do. Our competitors may compete with us in a variety of ways, including attracting the same target users, produce similar styled animations and games, and conducting brand promotions and other marketing activities. In addition, we face competition for leisure time, attention and discretionary spending of our animation players. Other forms of entertainment, such as offline, traditional online, personal computer and console games, television, movies, sports and the internet, together represent much larger or more well-established markets and may be perceived by our users to offer greater variety, affordability, interactivity and enjoyment. Consumer tastes and preferences for leisure time activities are also subject to sudden or unpredictable change on account of new innovations, developments or product launches. If any of our competitors achieves greater market acceptance than we do or is able to offer more attractive content, or that our users do not find our animation games to be compelling or if other existing or new leisure time activities are perceived by our users to offer greater variety, affordability, interactivity and overall enjoyment, our user base and our market share may decrease, which may materially and adversely affect our business, our future financial condition, and results of operations.

Revenues
Our total revenue increased by $30,000,000, or 100.0%, to $30,000,000 in fiscal year 2024 from Nil in fiscal year 2023. The increase in our revenue was primarily due to an increase in revenue from IT services to customers in fiscal year 2024.
While access to our platform is currently free for all users, we plan to drive monetization and generate revenues through launching advertising, offering membership subscriptions and pay-per-view options, and providing IT services. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, we have entered into an IT service agreement which leverages our technological capabilities to empower the business growth of our enterprise customers and accelerate the monetization of our business. See “Information Related to GIBO – Our Monetization Models” for details.
Costof Revenue
Our cost of revenue increased by $4,368,333, or 100.0%, from Nil in fiscal year 2023 to $4,368,333 in fiscal year 2024 , primarily due to increased revenue associated with our IT services.
OperatingCosts
Our operating costs primarily include research and development expenses, marketing and promotional expenses, professional fees, depreciation and amortization.
Our only activities from inception through December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 were research and development of AI animation technology and content, development of users and searching for a Business Combination opportunity. We incur expenses associated with conducting AI animation research and development, marketing activities to develop user base and general organization administrative expenses.
InterestIncome
We generate immaterial non-operating income in the form of interest income on our cash deposit.
Comparisonof the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
Total operating costs increased by approximately $38,373,902, or 316.6%, from $12,121,820 in the fiscal year 2023 to $50,495,722 in fiscal year 2024.
The increase in our operating costs primarily due to (i) an increase in research and development expenses by $37,706,505 or 332.9%, from $11,326,463 in fiscal year 2023 to $49,032,968 in fiscal year 2024 because we outsourced more AI animation development services to third-party vendors in fiscal year 2024 than we did in fiscal year 2023 to conduct AI-driven market research, user preference analysis, AI animation software design, prototyping of the user interface, security architecture outlining measures for data protection, encryption, and intrusion prevention, and integration of backend systems, third-party services, and AI functionalities, etc. which led to higher research and development expenses in fiscal year 2024; (ii) an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses by $133,334 or 175.2%, from $76,097 in fiscal year 2023 to $209,431 in fiscal year 2024, primarily because our computer software and applications used in conducting our AI animation business, which led to increased amortization expenses during fiscal year 2024; and (iii) an increase in general and administrative expenses by $534,063 or 74.3%, from $719,260 in fiscal year 2023 to $1,253,323 in fiscal year 2024 because of increased professional and consulting service fees.
As a result of the above, we reported a net loss of $24,852,333 in fiscal year 2024, as compared to a net loss of $12,117,569 in fiscal year 2023.
Liquidityand Capital Resources
We were incorporated in the Cayman Islands as a holding company and our Cayman Islands holding company did not have active business operations as of December 31, 2024 and as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Our consolidated assets and liabilities and consolidated operating costs and net loss are the operation results of our subsidiary Hong Kong Daily and GIBO AI. Our subsidiary’s ability to transfer funds to us in the form of loans or advances or cash dividends is not materially restricted by regulatory provisions in accordance with laws and regulations in Hong Kong and Cayman Islands. As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, none of the net assets of our subsidiary in Hong Kong and Cayman Islands were restricted net assets and there were no funds transferred from Hong Kong Daily and GIBO AI to us in the form of loans, advances, or cash dividends during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
| 19 |
| --- |
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we reported a net loss of approximately $24.9 million and $12.1 million, respectively, primarily due to significant amount of research and development costs incurred when we outsourced AI animation development projects to third-party vendors to conduct AI-driven market research, user preference analysis, AI animation software design, prototyping of the user interface, security architecture outlining measures for data protection, encryption, and intrusion prevention, and integration of backend systems, third-party services, and AI functionalities. Cash provided by operating activities amounted to approximately $23.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, and Cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately $11.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, respectively. These conditions raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our liquidity is based on our ability to obtain financing from investors to fund our general operations and business expansion needs. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our management’s ability to successfully execute our business plan, which includes controlling operating cost and expenses to generate positive operating cash flows and obtain financing from outside sources.
As of December 31, 2023, we had cash balance of approximately $6.1 million and working capital of approximately $5.2 million. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash balance of approximately $86.8 thousand and net current liabilities of approximately $24.7 million. Historically, we obtained working capital financing primarily through shareholder investment and borrowing from related parties. During the fiscal year 2021, 2022 and 2023, seven investor groups contributed $836,616, $11,824,763 and $17,525,456 to increase the paid-in capital of Hong Kong Daily, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, total capital contribution received from our shareholders amounted to $30,200,855. In addition, as of December 31,2024 and 2023, we had borrowed approximately $3.4 million and $1.5 million from related parties to support our working capital needs, respectively. Such borrowings amounted $2.3 million and $1.5 million are interest free and due on demand as of December 31,2024 and 2023, respectively, borrowings amounted $1.1 million are 3% or 5% per annum interest rate and due in year 2026 as of December 31,2024.
However, there can be no assurance that our future cashflows from operating activities or financing activities including equity financing will be sufficient to support our ongoing operations, or that any additional financing will be available in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise sufficient financing or events or circumstances occur such that we do not meet our strategic plans, we will be required to reduce our research and development expenditure and certain discretionary spending, or be unable to fund capital expenditures, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve our intended business objectives. In the six months ended December 31, 2024, we have generated revenues amounted $30.0 million, and we continued need to raise additional capital to finance our future operations. Accordingly, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date that these financial statements are issued. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes we will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
The following table sets forth summary of our cash flows for the periods presented:

CriticalAccounting Policy, Judgments and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the consolidated financial statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenue and expenses incurred during the financial reporting period. The most significant estimates and assumptions include the realizability of prepayments, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, the recoverability of long-lived assets and provision necessary for contingent liabilities. We continue to evaluate these estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these evaluations as the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We believe critical accounting policies as disclosed in this proxy statement/prospectus reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Further, we elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (1) are no longer an emerging growth company or (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

A description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that may potentially impact our financial position and results of operations is disclosed in “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Boardof Directors
Our board of directors consists of five directors, including three independent directors. A director is not required to hold any shares by way of qualification. A director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction with us is required to declare the nature of his or her interest at a meeting of our directors.
A general notice given to the directors by any director to the effect that he or she is a member of any specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract or transaction which may thereafter be made with that company or firm, shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest in regard to any contract so made or transaction so consummated.
Subject to the rules of the Nasdaq and the disqualification by chairman at the relevant meeting of our board of directors, a director may vote in respect of any contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction notwithstanding that he or she may be interested therein. If he or she does so, his or her vote shall be counted and such director may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the directors at which any such contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction is considered shall come before the meeting for consideration.
The directors may from time to time at their discretion exercise all the powers to raise or borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and uncalled capital or any part thereof, to issue debentures, debenture stock, bonds and other securities, whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of us or of any third party.

ITEM11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk on our interest-bearing assets and liabilities. As part of our asset and liability risk management, we review and take appropriate steps to manage our interest rate exposures on our interest-bearing assets and liabilities. We have not been exposed to material risks due to changes in market interest rates, and not used any derivative financial instruments to manage the interest risk exposure during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Inflation risk
Inflationary factors, such as increases in personnel and overhead costs, could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses as a percentage of sales revenue if the revenues do not increase with such increased costs.
Liquidity risk
We are also exposed to liquidity risk, which is risk that we will be unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, we will turn to other financial institutions and related parties to obtain short-term funding to cover any liquidity shortage.
Foreign exchange risk
Our functional currency and reporting currency is both USD. We are exposed to foreign exchange risk in respect of our operating activities when purchase of services in Hong Kong or other areas is using transaction currency other than USD.

|---|
There are 2,873,741 warrants outstanding as of May 8, 2025. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we have assumed all outstanding warrants issued by BUJA and converted them into corresponding warrants to purchase our Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Assumed Public Warrants”). The Assumed Public Warrants have substantially the same terms as the warrants issued by BUJA, and will not become exercisable until 30 days after the Second Closing, provided that and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination. However, we shall not be obligated to issue any Class A Ordinary Share pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to our Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share of ours at a price of $11.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment. The warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of our Class A Ordinary Shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTINGFIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition 1 Ltd.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition 1 Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Abilityto Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to assume the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenue, and incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in the pursuit of the consummation of a business combination. The Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 2024 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities for the upcoming year. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events, conditions and plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty, and our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ UHY LLP
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition 1 Ltd.
Notes To Financial Statements
Note 1 — Organization and Business Operation
ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATION
Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition 1 Ltd. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 15, 2022. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. For the period from September 15, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2024, the Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to its IPO (as defined below) and searches for targets for a business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generated non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO (as defined below).
The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) became effective on June 27, 2023. On June 30, 2023, the Company consummated the IPO of 5,750,000 units (including 750,000 units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option, the “Public Units”). Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share, one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and one right (the “Right”), each one Right entitling the holder thereof to exchange for one-tenth of one ordinary share upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57,500,000.
Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 424,307 units (the “Private Placement Unit”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Units to Bukit Jalil Global Investment Ltd., a Cayman Islands company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $4,243,070. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one ordinary share, one-half of one warrant, and one right. These Private Placement Units are identical to the Public Units, subject to limited exceptions. However, the holder of the Private Placement Units is entitled to registration rights. In addition, the Private Placement Units and the underlying securities may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until completion of the initial Business Combination.
Following the closing of the IPO and the issuance and the sale of Private Placement Units on June 30, 2023, $58,362,500 ($10.15 per Public Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Units in the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Units was placed into a U.S. based trust account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills 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 which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to pay the Company’s tax obligations, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units that are deposited in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination by June 30, 2024 (or up to December 30, 2024 if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination) (the “Combination Period”), provided that the Sponsor or designee must deposit into the trust account for each three-month extension $575,000 ($0.10 per Public Units), up to an aggregate of $1,150,000, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline), or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders.

Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition 1 Ltd.
Notes To Financial Statements
The Company’s initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and interest income earned on the trust account that is released for working capital purposes or to pay taxes) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires an interest in the target sufficient for the post-transaction company not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
The ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are being recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If the Company cannot complete a Business Combination by June 30, 2024 (or up to December 30, 2024 if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination), unless the Company extends such period pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, 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, 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 and not previously released to the Company for working capital purposes or to pay the taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants and rights, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by June 30, 2024 (or up to December 30, 2024 if the Company extends the time needed to complete a Business Combination).
On June 29, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary Meeting”), where the shareholders of the Company approved the proposal to amend Articles 48.7 and 48.8 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Current MAA”) to provide that the Company must (i) consummate a business combination, or (ii) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such Business Combination and redeem or repurchase 100% of the Company’s public shares included as part of the public units issued in the Company’s initial public offering, by June 30, 2024 (the “Termination Date”), and if the Company does not consummate a business combination by June 30 2024, the Termination Date may be extended up to twelve times, each by a Monthly Extension, for a total of up to twelve months to June 30, 2025, without the need for any further approval of the Company’s shareholders (the “Extension”).
In addition, at the Extraordinary Meeting, the shareholders of the Company also approved the proposal to amend Articles 48.2, 48.4, 48.5, and 48.8 of the Current MAA (such amendment, together with the amendment mentioned in the last paragraph, the “MAA Amendment”) to eliminate the limitation that the Company may not redeem the Company’s public shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001 following such redemptions.
In connection with the MMA Amendment, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company (the “Trustee”) amended the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated June 27, 2023 (the “Trust Agreement”), to provide that the Trustee must commence liquidation of the Company’s Trust Account by the 12-month anniversary of the closing of the IPO, or, in the event that the Company extended ( on a monthly basis), the time to complete the business combination for up to 24-month from the closing of the IPO (each of such monthly extensions, the “Monthly Extension”) but has not completed the business combination within the applicable monthly anniversary of the closing of the IPO.

Notes To Financial Statements
In connection with the MAA Amendment Proposal and the NTA Requirement Amendment Proposal, 2,820,485 ordinary shares of the Company were rendered for redemption, and $30,153,550 were paid to the redeeming shareholders accordingly on July 9, 2024.
In order to effectuated extension of the Company’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor had deposited a total of Seven-Monthly Extension Fee, each in the amount of $100,000, from July through December 2024, or an aggregate of $700,000, to the Trust Account of the Company to extend the deadline for the Company to complete the Business Combination contemplated from June 30, 2024 to January 2025. Each Monthly Extension Payment from the Sponsor was evidenced by an unsecured promissory note (collectively, the “Extension Notes”) issued by the Company to the Sponsor.
Subsequently, in January, February, and March 2025, the Sponsor deposited an aggregated total of $300,000 into the Trust Account resulting the Company having until April 2025 to complete its initial business combination. The Company issued the Sponsor three unsecured promissory notes of an aggregate total of $300,000 (the “January, February, and March 2025 Extension Note”).

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each of the Company and GIBO would become a subsidiary of PubCo, and the Company’s shareholders and GIBO’s shareholders (except certain shareholders of GIBO (such shareholders, the “Founders”)) would receive Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.000001 per share, of PubCo (“PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares”) and the Founders would receive Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.000001 per share, of PubCo (“PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares” and together with PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, “PubCo Ordinary Shares” ) as consideration and become the shareholders of PubCo. Each PubCo Class A Ordinary Share has one vote per share while each PubCo Class B Ordinary Share has one twenty (20) votes per share. Each PubCo Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one (1) PubCo Class A Ordinary Share at any time at the option of the holder thereof and PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares under any circumstances. The closing date of each of the First Merger and the Second Merger is hereinafter referred to as First Closing Date and the Second Closing Date respectively. The Company and GIBO expect PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC following the consummation of the Business Combination. The merger consideration for the Business Combination is $8.28 billion.
Going Concern Consideration
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $15,265 and a working capital deficit of $1,647,964.

Notes To Financial Statements
The Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 2024, are not sufficient to complete its planned activities to consummate a business combination for the upcoming year. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” management believes that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such additional conditions also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management expects to obtain additional funds from related parties to provide the additional working capital necessary to carry out its objective to consummate a business combination. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart The Company’s 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 an 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.

Notes To Financial Statements
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 $15,265 and $295,372 in cash and did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, $0 was over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limit.
Furthermore, bank failures, non-performance, or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions could impair the ability of one or more of the banks participating in the credit facility from honoring their commitments. Such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Investments Held in Trust Account
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in BlackRock Liquidity Treasury Trust Fund, a money market mutual funds. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. Income earned on these investments will be fully reinvested into the investments held in the Trust Account and therefore considered as an adjustment to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash used in operating activities in the statements of cash flows. Such income reinvested will be used to redeem all or a portion of the ordinary shares upon the completion of Business Combination. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were $2,388,838 and $1,521,739 of dividend income recognized, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the assets held in the trust account was $32,819,527 and $59,884,239, respectively.
Warrants
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. As the Company’s warrants meet all the criteria for equity classification, so the Company will classify each warrant as its own equity.
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s public shares feature certain redemption rights that are outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 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.

Notes To Financial Statements
The Company has made a policy election in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and to accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument, and recognizes changes in redemption value in additional paid-in capital (or accumulated deficit in the absence of additional paid-in capital) over an expected 12-month period leading up to a Business Combination. As of December 31, 2024, the Company recognized accumulated accretion of ordinary shares subject to redemption value of $10,248,360 with unrecognized accretion of $0 based on $58,362,500 ($10.15 per Public Unit) deposited into trust account upon IPO closing. In addition, the Company recognized $2,388,838 of dividend income earned from trust account and seven-month extensions of $700,000 as the additional accretion for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs – SEC Materials” (“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs were $4,777,524 consisting principally of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses that are directly related to the IPO and charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
Furthermore, bank failures, non-performance, or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions could impair the ability of one or more of the banks participating in the credit facility from honoring their commitments. Such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
| ● | Level<br> 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability<br> to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are<br> readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
|---|---|
| ● | Level<br> 2 - Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that<br> are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs<br> that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means. |
| ● | Level<br> 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. |

Notes To Financial Statements
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in a money market mutual funds. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2024 and 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

| Total | $ | 32,819,527 | $ | 59,884,239 |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. The Company has identified Cayman Islands as its only “major” tax jurisdiction, as defined. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on September 15, 2022, the evaluation was performed for 2023 and 2022 tax years which will be the only period subject to examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws.
The Company’s tax provision was deemed to be de minimis for the period presented. The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States.
Net income per Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has not considered the effect of the Warrants sold in the IPO to purchase an aggregate of 5,750,000 shares in the calculation of diluted net income per share, since the exercise of the Warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such Warrants would be anti-dilutive in period which the Company incurred net loss and the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic (income) loss per share for the period presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments. These requirements include: (i) disclosure of significant expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”); (ii) disclosure of an amount for other segment items (equal to the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss) by reportable segment and a description of their composition; (iii) annual disclosure of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods; (iv) clarification that, if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report those additional measures of segment profit or loss; (v) disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources; and (vi) requiring a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU, and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the year ended December 31, 2024, and applied the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
On June 30, 2023, the Company consummated the IPO of 5,750,000 Public Units, (including 750,000 Public Units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option). Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share, one-half of one redeemable Warrant, and one Right to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share. Each whole redeemable Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Each Right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57,500,000.

Notes To Financial Statements
All of the 5,750,000 public shares sold as part of the Public Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.
The Company’s redeemable ordinary share is subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance which is the IPO date. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the amount of ordinary shares reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table.

Note 4 — Private Placement
PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 424,307 Private Placement Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $4,243,070. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one ordinary share, one-half of one whole warrant with each whole warrant to obtain one ordinary share and one right to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Public Units sold in the IPO. However, the holder of the Private Placement Units will be entitled to registration rights. In addition, the Private Placement Units and the underlying securities may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Insider Shares
On September 15, 2022, the Company issued 500,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each to the Sponsor. On November 16, 2022, the Sponsor acquired 1,437,500 insider shares for a purchase price of $25,000 and surrendered 500,000,000 ordinary shares. On June 30, 2023, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, so there are no insider shares subject to forfeiture.
Simultaneously with the effectiveness of the registration statement and prior to the closing of the IPO (including the full exercise of over-allotment option), the Sponsor transferred to the Company’s directors an aggregate of 23,000 insider shares , among which, 8,000 insider shares were transferred to Seck Chyn “Neil” Foo, and 5,000 insider shares were transferred to each of Bee Lian Ooi, Phui Lam Lee, and Suwardi Bin Hamzah Syakir, pursuant to a certain securities transfer agreement (the “Securities Transfer Agreement”) dated April 12, 2023.
The transfer of the insider shares to the Company’s directors, as described above, is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, share-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 23,000 shares transferred to the Company’s directors was approximately $125,350 or $5.45 per share which was charged to statements of operations as a share-based compensation expense assuming the completion of business combination would be possibly occurred.
The Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of the shares using Level 3 fair value measurements inputs at the measurement date:
SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS INPUTS MEASUREMENT DATE
| Time to expiration | 2.0 | |
|---|---|---|
| Risk-free rate | 4.9 | % |
| Volatility | 5.0 | % |
| Dividend yield | 0.0 | % |
| Expected likelihood of a successful business combination | 60 | % |
Due to Related Party
On June 27, 2023, in connection with the IPO, the Company entered into an administrative service agreement with the Sponsor (the “Administrative Service Agreement”). Pursuant to the Administrative Service Agreement, the Company shall pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month (the “Administrative Service Fee”) from June 27, 2023, the date of the Company’s final prospectus for the IPO till the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation. The Administrative Service Agreement provides that any unpaid amount of the Administrative Service Fee will accrue without interest and be due and payable no later than the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. On October 14, 2023, upon the approval of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of the Company, the Company and the Sponsor agreed to waive full payment of the Administrative Service Fee from the start date up to 12 months. The total of $120,000 has been waived including the accrued liabilities of $35,000 as of October 14, 2023 and the remaining commitment balance $85,000. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no balance payable in relations to the Administrative Service Agreement to the Sponsor.

Working Capital Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial 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. Any such loans would be on an interest-free basis and would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to the Company upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the private units issued to the Sponsor. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Company’s trust account, but if the Company does, it will request such lender to provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the trust account.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no borrowings under the working capital loans.

Each Monthly Extension Payment from the Sponsor was evidenced by an unsecured promissory note (collectively, the “Extension Notes”) issued by the Company to the Sponsor.
Each Extension Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the earlier to occur of (i) the consummation of the Company’s business combination or (ii) the date of expiry of the term of the Company (the “Maturity Date”).

The payees of the Extension Notes, the Sponsor, has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Extension Notes, in whole or in part, respectively, into private units (the “Units”) of the Company, each consisting of one ordinary share, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Share”),one-half of one warrant, and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of a business combination. The number of Units to be received by the Sponsor in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the Sponsor by (y) $10.00.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had borrowings of $700,000 and $0, respectively, under the Sponsor Extension Notes from the Sponsor.

Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a public warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of ordinary share. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a public warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. The public warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, 2,875,000 public warrants were outstanding.

Note 8 — Segment information
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 has adopted the guidance in ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, in the accompanying financial statements using the retrospective method of adoption.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive 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 and reportable segment.
When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:
SCHEDULE OF SEGMENT REPORTING
| **** | For the Year Ended<br> <br>December 31, 2024 | **** | For the Year Ended<br> <br>December 31, 2023 | **** | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legal and professional services costs | $ | (764,799 | ) | $ | (138,899 | ) |
| Other formation and operating costs | (422,624 | ) | (202,421 | ) | ||
| Share-based compensation expense | - | (125,350 | ) | |||
| Total formation and operating costs | (1,187,423 | ) | (466,670 | ) | ||
| Interest income | - | 3,737 | ||||
| Dividend income on investments held in Trust | 2,388,838 | 1,521,739 | ||||
| Net income | $ | 1,201,415 | $ | 1,058,806 |
The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are dividend income earned on investment in Trust Account and formation and operating expenses. The CODM reviews dividend income earned on investment in 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 trust agreement. Within formation and operating costs, the CODM specifically reviews professional service fees in connection with the business combination, which are a significant segment expense, and include legal fees, and advisory fees, as these represent significant costs affecting the Company’s consummation of the Business Combination. Other formation and operating costs, including accounting expenses, printing expenses, and regulatory filing fees, are reviewed in aggregate to ensure alignment with budget and contractual obligations. These expenses are monitored to manage and forecast cash available to complete a business combination within the required period.

REPORTOF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
GIBO Holdings Limited
Opinionon the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of GIBO Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the related combined statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “combined financial statements”). In our opinion, the combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
MaterialUncertainty Related to Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $24,852,333 for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of that date, the Company had net current liabilities of $24,682,839 and accumulated deficit of $49,289,856. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basisfor Opinion
These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s combined financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as the overall presentation of the combined financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATION
Business
GIBO Holdings Limited (“GIBO” or the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is a unique and integrated AIGC animation streaming platform with extensive functionalities provided to both viewers and creators that serves a broad community of young people across Asia to create, publish, share and enjoy AI-generated animation video content. GIBO’s technology platform powers the GIBO.ai website, which features AI-generated animation video content and provides an efficient, interactive, and easy-to-use way to create and share online comic content. GIBO.ai enables content creators to automate tasks, create personalized audio and graphics, obtain data-driven insights into the content they created, and explore new ideas through collaboration. GIBO.ai, equipped with cutting-edge generative AI-powered technology emphasizes on the establishment of a sustainable ecosystem that can not only empower animation creators on the content creation process but also provide distribution channels for their works to be accessed and monetized by viewers on the platform.
Organization
The Company was incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands on June 19, 2024. The Company has no substantive operations other than holding all of the outstanding share capital of (1) GIBO Merger Sub 1 Limited (“Merger Sub I”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands on June 25, 2024, and (2) GIBO Merger Sub 2 Limited (“Merger Sub II”), a limited liability company formed under the laws of Cayman Islands on June 25, 2024, and (3) Global IBO Group Limited (“GIBO Group”), an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands on September 5, 2023, and (4) GIBO International Limited (“GIBO International”), a limited liability company formed under the laws of Samoa on November 29, 2023.
GIBO, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, GIBO Group, and GIBO International are currently not engaging in any active business operations and merely acting as holding companies.
Hong Kong Daily Group Supply Chain Limited (“Hong Kong Daily”) was incorporated as a limited liability company under the laws of Hong Kong on December 22, 2017, GIBO IBO AI Technology Limited (“GIBO AI”) was incorporated as a limited liability company under the laws of Cayman Islands on September 5, 2023. Hong Kong Daily and GIBO AI are primarily engaged in develop AI technology to generate user content into AI scripts, images, voices and animation for its global users.
Reorganization
On December 29, 2023, a reorganization took place, consolidating GIBO Group, GIBO AI, GIBO International, and Hong Kong Daily under common ownership. Before the reorganization, Hong Kong Daily was owned by 92 shareholders. The reorganization involved:(1) Transfer of 100% ownership in Hong Kong Daily to GIBO Group and its subsidiaries for a nominal fee of HK$1.00. (2) This created a unified corporate structure, with the same 92 shareholders retaining control both before and after the reorganization.
In accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5 and ASC 805-50-15-6, the restructuring of the business’s legal structure did not change the reporting entities under common control and is considered not to have resulted in any changes to the economic substance of the controlling financial interest in ownership or the business. As a result, the reorganization is considered under common control and thus the current capital structure has been retroactively presented in prior periods as if such structure existed at that time. In accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5, the entities under common control are presented on a consolidated basis for all periods to which such entities were under common control. Since all of the subsidiaries were under common control for the entirety of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the results of these subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements for both periods. The consolidation of the GIBO Group and its subsidiaries has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Results of operations for the periods presented comprise those of the previously separate entities consolidated from the beginning of the period to the end of the period, eliminating the effects of intra-entity transactions.

NOTE2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basisof Presentation
The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and have been consistently applied.
Principlesof consolidation
The accompanying combined financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of are recorded in the combined statements of operations from the effective date of the acquisition or up to the effective date of the disposal, as appropriate.
A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power, or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meetings of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.
GoingConcern Consideration
Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) codification Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, the Company is required to assess its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash on hand of $86,750, net current liabilities of $24,682,839 and accumulated deficit of $49,289,856, and incurred a net loss of $24,852,333 for the years ended December 31, 2024.
The Business Combination is consummated by the required date, but the Company’s liquidity needs the continued financial support from the shareholders. The Company believes it has sufficient and appropriate financial abilities to enable it to undertake its liabilities and doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements has been alleviated. Consequently, the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been resolved.

Usesof estimates
In preparing the combined financial statements in conformity U.S. GAAP, the management makes judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the combined financial statements include, but are not limited to, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, and the recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risksand Uncertainties
The main operations of the Company are located in Hong Kong and Cayman Islands. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by changes in political, economic, social, regulatory, and legal environments in Hong Kong and Cayman Islands, as well as by the general state of the economy in Hong Kong and Cayman Islands. Although the Company has not experienced losses from these situations and believes that it complies with existing laws and regulations, including its organization and structure disclosed in Note 1, this may not be indicative of future results.
The Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may also be negatively impacted by risks related to natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, health epidemics, and other catastrophic incidents, which could significantly disrupt the Company’s operations.
Although the spread of COVID-19 appears to be under control currently, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company’s future financial results will depend on future developments, such as new information on the effectiveness of the mitigation strategies, the duration, spread, severity, and recurrence of COVID-19 and any COVID-19 variants, the related travel advisories and restrictions, the overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and capital markets, and the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines, which may also take extended time to be widely and adequately distributed, all of which remain highly uncertain and unpredictable. Given this uncertainty, the Company is currently unable to quantify the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its future operations, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.
Cash
Cash includes currency on hand and deposits held by banks that can be added or withdrawn without limitation. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, cash balance amounted to $86,750 and $6,051,863 respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and bank deposits.
Deferredoffering costs
The Company complies with the requirement of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the intended IPO. Deferred offering costs will be charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. Should the IPO prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to operations. Deferred initial public offering costs amounted to $1,609,714 and Nil as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Propertyand equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES
| Useful life | |
|---|---|
| Servers<br> and network equipment | 10<br> years |
| Office<br> equipment | 3-5<br> years |
| F-31 |

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amountsin U.S. Dollars, except for number of shares)
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the combined statements of operations.
Intangibleasset, net
The Company’s intangible assets primarily consist of purchased computer software and applications used in conducting the Company’s AI animation business. Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any recorded impairment. The Company amortizes its intangible assets over the estimated useful lives of three years using a straight-line method (see Note 4).
Impairmentof long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets with finite lives, primarily property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated cash flows from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are below the asset’s carrying value, then the asset is deemed to be impaired and written down to its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. There were no impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets as of December 31,2024 and 2023.
Leases
The Company leases office space, which is classified as operating leases in accordance with ASC 842. Under ASC 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases, usually with an initial term of 12 months or less) on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.
At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The ROU asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All ROU assets are reviewed for impairment annually. There was no impairment for ROU lease assets as of December 31,2024 and 2023(see Note 5).
Segmentreporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, and is identified on the basis of the internal financial reports that are provided to and regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) in order to allocate resources and assess the performance of the segment.
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s CODM for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management, including the CODM, reviews operating results by the operating activities. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined that it has only one operating segment as defined by ASC 280.

Fairvalue of financial instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
| ● | Level<br> 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|---|---|
| ● | Level<br> 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted<br> market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable<br> and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Level<br> 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable. |
Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, other current assets, due to related parties and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities.
Revenuerecognition
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 using the modified retrospective approach.
The Company recognize revenue under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
These criteria as they relate to each of the following major revenue generating activities are described below.
The Company sign IT Service Agreement with the customers, to provide a series of services include (i) platform customization and integration services, helping customers to design, modify and integrate functionalities in their own systems, (ii) data migration and content management services, assisting customers in their large-scale data migration and content liability management, and (iii) enterprise-level data security services, providing customers with advanced information security technologies and measures to address data concerns.
The Company’s contracts with the customer are fixed price contract and accounts for the revenue generated from providing the services to customers on a gross basis as the Company is acting as a principal in these transactions. The Company considers the following indicators amongst others when determining whether it is acting as a principal in the contract where revenue would be recorded on a gross basis: (i) the Company is primarily responsible for arranging the promise to provide the specified services; (ii) the Company has inventory risk before the specified services have been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer; and (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified services delivered.

The Company’s contracts include distinct performance obligations when the promises are separately identifiable with one another and are indicated with standalone selling price. For such arrangements, The Company allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The Company generally determine the standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers. Revenues are recognized at overtime when the service deliverables are completed and achieve the requirements of the customers.
The Company has generated operating revenues amounted to $30,000,000 and Nil for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Contract balances
Contract assets relate to the Company’s right to consideration for performance obligations satisfied but not billed and consist of unbilled receivables. Contract liabilities relate to customer payments received in advance of satisfaction of performance obligations under the contract. Contract balances are classified as assets or liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. There are no contract assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Researchand development costs
The Company’s research and development (“R&D”) activities primarily relate to the development of AI animation technology, application, modules and optimization and implementation of its websites and mobile apps to improve their performance. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses included in operating costs amounted to $49,032,968 and $11,326,463 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Earnings(loss) per Share
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net earnings (loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the year ended December 31,2024 and 2023, there were no dilutive shares.
Statementof Cash Flows
In accordance with ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows”, cash flows from the Company’s operations are formulated based upon the local currencies using the average exchange rate in the period. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.
Relatedparties and transactions
The Company identifies related parties, and accounts for, discloses related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” and other relevant ASC standards.
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence.

RecentAccounting Pronouncements
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. This ASU is expected to improve comparability for both the recognition and measurement of acquired revenue contracts with customers at the date of and after a business combination. The new guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

Notwithstanding Article 17, the Directors may issue from time to time, out of the authorised share capital of the Company (other than the authorised but unissued Ordinary Shares), series of preferred shares in their absolute discretion and without approval of the Members; provided, however, before any preferred shares of any such series are issued, the Directors shall by resolution of Directors determine, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series, including: |

| --- | --- |
| (e) | whether the preferred shares of such series shall have any rights to receive any part of the assets available for distribution amongst the Members upon the liquidation of the Company, and, if so, the terms of such liquidation preference, and the relation which such liquidation preference shall bear to the entitlements of the holders of shares of any other class or any other series of shares; |
| (f) | whether<br> the preferred shares of such series shall be subject to the operation of a retirement or sinking fund and, if so, the extent to and<br> manner in which any such retirement or sinking fund shall be applied to the purchase or redemption of the preferred shares of such<br> series for retirement or other corporate purposes and the terms and provisions relative to the operation thereof; |
| --- | --- |
| (g) | whether<br> the preferred shares of such series shall be convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or any other series<br> of preferred shares or any other securities and, if so, the price or prices or the rate or rates of conversion or exchange and the<br> method, if any, of adjusting the same, and any other terms and conditions of conversion or exchange; |

and, for such purposes, the Directors may reserve an appropriate number of Shares for the time being unissued. The Company shall not issue Shares to bearer.
| 10. | The<br> Company may insofar as may be permitted by law, pay a commission to any Person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to<br> subscribe whether absolutely or conditionally for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash or the lodgement<br> of fully or partly paid-up Shares or partly in one way and partly in the other. The Company may also pay such brokerage as may be<br> lawful on any issue of Shares. |

CLASSA ORDINARY SHARES AND CLASS B ORDINARY SHARES
| 12. | Holders<br> of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall at all times vote together as one class on all resolutions submitted<br> to a vote by the Members. Each Class A Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on all matters subject to<br> vote at general meetings of the Company, and each Class B Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to twenty (20) votes on<br> all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company. |
|---|---|
| 13. | Each<br> Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one (1) Class A Ordinary Share at any time at the option of the holder thereof. The right<br> to convert shall be exercisable by the holder of the Class B Ordinary Share delivering a written notice to the Company that such<br> holder elects to convert a specified number of Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares. In no event shall Class A Ordinary<br> Shares be convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares. |
| 14. | Any<br> conversion of Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to these Articles shall be effected by means of the re-designation<br> and re-classification of each relevant Class B Ordinary Share as a Class A Ordinary Share. Such conversion shall become effective<br> (i) in the case of any conversion effected pursuant to Article 13, forthwith upon the receipt by the Company of the written notice<br> delivered to the Company as described in Article 13 (or at such later date as may be specified in such notice) and upon entries being<br> made in the Register to record the re-designation and re-classification of the relevant Class B Ordinary Shares as Class A Class<br> Shares, or (ii) in the case of any automatic conversion effected pursuant to Article 15, forthwith upon occurrence of the event specified<br> in Article 15 which triggers such automatic conversion, and upon entries being made in the Register to record the re-designation<br> and re-classification of the relevant Class B Ordinary Shares as Class A Ordinary Shares at the relevant time. |
| --- | --- |
| 15. | Upon<br> any sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of any Class B Ordinary Share by a Shareholder to any Person who is not the Founder,<br> an Affiliate of the Founder, or upon a change of the ultimate beneficial ownership of any Class B Ordinary Share to any Person who<br> is not the Founder, an Affiliate of the Founder, such Class B Ordinary Share shall be automatically and immediately converted into<br> the same number of Class A Ordinary Share. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) a sale, transfer, assignment or disposition shall be effective<br> upon the Company’s registration of such sale, transfer, assignment or disposition in its Register; and (ii) the creation of<br> any pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third party right of whatever description on any Class B Ordinary Shares to secure a holder’s<br> contractual or legal obligations shall not be deemed as a sale, transfer, assignment or disposition, or a change of the ultimate<br> beneficial ownership, unless and until any such pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third party right is enforced and results in<br> the third party holding legal title to the relevant Class B Ordinary Shares, in which case all the related Class B Ordinary Shares<br> shall be automatically converted into the same number of Class A Ordinary Shares. For the purposes of this Article 15, beneficial<br> ownership shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
| 16. | Save<br> and except for voting rights and conversion rights as set out in Articles 12 to 15 (inclusive), the Class A Ordinary Shares and the<br> Class B Ordinary Shares shall rank pari passu with one another and shall have the same rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions. |

MODIFICATIONOF RIGHTS
| 17. | Whenever<br> the capital of the Company is divided into different Classes the rights attached to any such Class may, subject to any rights or<br> restrictions for the time being attached to any Class, only be materially adversely varied with the consent in writing of the holders<br> of at least two-thirds of the issued Shares of that Class or with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate meeting<br> of the holders of the Shares of that Class. To every such separate meeting all the provisions of these Articles relating to general<br> meetings of the Company or to the proceedings thereat shall, mutatis mutandis, apply, except that the necessary quorum shall be one<br> or more Persons holding or representing by proxy at least one-third in nominal or par value amount of the issued Shares of the relevant<br> Class (but so that if at any adjourned meeting of such holders a quorum as above defined is not Present, those Shareholders who are<br> Present shall form a quorum) and that, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class,<br> every Shareholder of the Class shall on a poll have one vote for each Share of the Class held by him. For the purposes of this Article<br> the Directors may treat all the Classes or any two or more Classes as forming one Class if they consider that all such Classes would<br> be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate Classes. |
|---|---|
| 18. | The<br> rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any Class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, subject to any rights<br> or restrictions for the time being attached to the Shares of that Class, be deemed to be materially adversely varied by, inter alia,<br> the creation, allotment or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu with or subsequent to them or the redemption or purchase of<br> any Shares of any Class by the Company. The rights of the holders of Shares shall not be deemed to be materially adversely varied<br> by the creation or issue of Shares with preferred or other rights including, without limitation, the creation of Shares with enhanced<br> or weighted voting rights. |
| --- | --- |
CERTIFICATES
| 19. | Every Person whose name<br> is entered as a Member in the Register may, without payment and upon its written request, request a certificate within two calendar<br> months after allotment or lodgement of transfer (or within such other period as the conditions of issue shall provide) in the form<br> determined by the Directors. All certificates shall specify the Share or Shares held by that Person, provided that in respect of<br> a Share or Shares held jointly by several Persons the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate, and delivery<br> of a certificate for a Share to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all. All certificates for Shares shall<br> be delivered personally or sent through the post addressed to the Member entitled thereto at the Member’s registered address<br> as appearing in the Register. |
|---|---|
| 20. | Every share certificate<br> of the Company shall bear such legends as may be required under applicable laws, including the Securities Act. |
| 21. | Any two or more certificates<br> representing Shares of any one Class held by any Member may at the Member’s request be cancelled and a single new certificate<br> for such Shares issued in lieu on payment (if the Directors shall so require) of one U.S. dollar (US$1.00) or such smaller sum as<br> the Directors shall determine. |

| 22. | If a share certificate<br> shall be damaged or defaced or alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a new certificate representing the same Shares may<br> be issued to the relevant Member upon request, subject to delivery up of the old certificate or (if alleged to have been lost, stolen<br> or destroyed) compliance with such conditions as to evidence and indemnity and the payment of out-of-pocket expenses of the Company<br> in connection with the request as the Directors may think fit. |
| --- | --- |
| 23. | In the event that Shares<br> are held jointly by several Persons, any request may be made by any one of the joint holders and if so made shall be binding on all<br> of the joint holders. |
FRACTIONALSHARES
| 24. | The<br> Directors may issue fractions of a Share and, if so issued, a fraction of a Share shall be subject to and carry the corresponding<br> fraction of liabilities (whether with respect to nominal or par value, premium, contributions, calls or otherwise), limitations,<br> preferences, privileges, qualifications, restrictions, rights (including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, voting<br> and participation rights) and other attributes of a whole Share. If more than one fraction of a Share of the same Class is issued<br> to or acquired by the same Shareholder such fractions shall be accumulated. |
|---|
LIEN
| 25. | The<br> Company has a first and paramount lien on every Share (whether or not fully paid) for all amounts (whether presently payable or not)<br> payable at a fixed time or called in respect of that Share. The Company also has a first and paramount lien on every Share registered<br> in the name of a Person indebted or under liability to the Company (whether he is the sole registered holder of a Share or one of<br> two or more joint holders) for all amounts owing by him or his estate to the Company (whether or not presently payable). The Directors<br> may at any time declare a Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company’s lien on a<br> Share extends to any amount payable in respect of it, including but not limited to dividends. |
|---|---|
| 26. | The<br> Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors in their absolute discretion think fit, any Share on which the Company has a lien,<br> but no sale shall be made unless an amount in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable nor until the expiration of fourteen<br> (14) calendar days after a notice in writing, demanding payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as<br> is presently payable, has been given to the registered holder for the time being of the Share, or the Persons entitled thereto by<br> reason of his death or bankruptcy. |
| 27. | For<br> giving effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise a Person to transfer the Shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser<br> shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer and he shall not be bound to see to the application<br> of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference<br> to the sale. |
| 28. | The<br> proceeds of the sale after deduction of expenses, fees and commissions incurred by the Company shall be received by the Company and<br> applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, and the residue shall<br> (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares prior to the sale) be paid to the Person entitled<br> to the Shares immediately prior to the sale. |

CALLSON SHARES
| 29. | Subject<br> to the terms of the allotment, the Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Shareholders in respect of any moneys unpaid<br> on their Shares, and each Shareholder shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) calendar days’ notice specifying the<br> time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on such Shares. A call shall be<br> deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed. |
|---|---|
| 30. | The joint holders of a<br> Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay calls in respect thereof. |
| 31. | If<br> a sum called in respect of a Share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the Person from whom the sum is<br> due shall pay interest upon the sum at the rate of eight percent per annum from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the<br> time of the actual payment, but the Directors shall be at liberty to waive payment of that interest wholly or in part. |
| 32. | The<br> provisions of these Articles as to the liability of joint holders and as to payment of interest shall apply in the case of non-payment<br> of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the amount of the Share,<br> or by way of premium, as if the same had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified. |
| 33. | The<br> Directors may make arrangements with respect to the issue of partly paid Shares for a difference between the Shareholders, or the<br> particular Shares, in the amount of calls to be paid and in the times of payment. |
| --- | --- |
| 34. | The<br> Directors may, if they think fit, receive from any Shareholder willing to advance the same all or any part of the moneys uncalled<br> and unpaid upon any partly paid Shares held by him, and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced may (until the same would, but<br> for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (not exceeding without the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution,<br> eight percent per annum) as may be agreed upon between the Shareholder paying the sum in advance and the Directors. No such sum paid<br> in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such sum to any portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior<br> to the date upon which such sum would, but for such payment, become presently payable. |
FORFEITUREOF SHARES
| 35. | If<br> a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call in respect of partly paid Shares on the day appointed for payment, the<br> Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him<br> requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued. |
|---|---|
| 36. | The<br> notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of the notice) on or<br> before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the<br> time appointed, the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited. |
| 37. | If<br> the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may<br> at any time thereafter, before the payment required by notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that<br> effect. |

| --- | --- |
| 39. | A<br> Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding,<br> remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the<br> Shares forfeited, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the amount unpaid on the Shares<br> forfeited. |
| 40. | A<br> certificate in writing under the hand of a Director that a Share has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the certificate shall<br> be conclusive evidence of the facts in the declaration as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. |
| 41. | The<br> Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a Share on any sale or disposition thereof pursuant to the provisions of<br> these Articles as to forfeiture and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed<br> of and that Person shall be registered as the holder of the Share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase<br> money, if any, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to<br> the disposition or sale. |
| 42. | The provisions<br> of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes<br> due and payable, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of<br> a call duly made and notified. |

TRANSFEROF SHARES
| 43. | The<br> instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing and in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may,<br> in their absolute discretion, approve and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and if in respect of a nil or partly paid<br> up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee and shall be accompanied by the<br> certificate (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the<br> right of the transferor to make the transfer.

The Warrants may be exercised during the period commencing from 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, and terminating five years after the completion of the Business Combination. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment. The Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of Class A Ordinary Shares.

Accountingfor the Business Combination
The Business Combination was accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization” in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, BUJA was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the Business Combination, GIBO’s shareholders are expected to beneficially own a majority of the total voting power of the Company, GIBO comprised all of the ongoing operations of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of GIBO issuing shares for the net assets of BUJA, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of BUJA were stated at historical costs. No goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination were those of GIBO.
Basisof Pro Forma Presentation
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information included in this Exhibit has been prepared using actual redemption of BUJA’s ordinary shares.
The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are related and/or directly attributable to the Business Combination, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the Business Combination.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience. BUJA and GIBO have not had any historical relationship prior to the Transactions. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.
There is no historical activity with respect to GIBO or Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II, accordingly, no adjustments were required with respect to these entities in the pro forma combined financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

CONDENSEDCOMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Note1 - Basic of Presentation
On May 8, 2025, the Company consummated the previously announced business combination by and among the Company, BUJA, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, and GIBO. As a result of the Business Combination, (i) Merger Sub I has merged with and into GIBO, with GIBO as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and (ii) following the First Merger, Merger Sub II has merged with and into BUJA, with BUJA as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of GIBO issuing shares for the net assets of BUJA, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of BUJA were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on December 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2024, the beginning of the period presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.

| ● | BUJA’s<br> balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 20-F, and |
|---|---|
| ● | GIBO’s consolidated<br> balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and the related notes included elsewhere in this this Form 20-F. |

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates and assumptions, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on information available as of the date of this prospectus and certain assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, the actual adjustments may materially differ from the pro forma adjustments. Management considers this basis of presentation to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of BUJA and GIBO.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.
Note2 – Accounting Policies
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management performed a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the post-combination company. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.
Note3 - Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only.
