NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2026
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
GSR IV Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had not yet commenced operations. All activity for the period from May 10, 2023 (inception) through June 30, 2026 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”), and since the Initial Public Offering, its search for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest and dividend income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Financing
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 2, 2025. On September 5, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of
Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of
Transaction costs amounted to $
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $
7
The Nasdaq listing rules require that the initial Business Combination must be with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least
The Company is required to provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem, regardless of whether they abstain, vote for, or against, the initial Business Combination, all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (1) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (2) by means of a tender offer.
All of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the units in this offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with initial Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with SEC guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Accordingly, all of the Public Shares were presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet. Given that the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the units in the offering were issued with other freestanding instruments, the initial carrying value of Class A ordinary shares classified as temporary equity were the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. The resulting discount to the initial carrying value of temporary equity were accreted upon the closing of this offering such that the carrying value was equal the redemption value on such date. The accretion or remeasurement is recognized as a reduction to retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting and, if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. In addition, initial shareholders, directors and officers have entered into a letter agreement, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below) and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing redemption rights, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), is restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of
Completion Window
If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the 18 or 21-month period after the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 5, 2025 (the “Completion Window”), meaning by March 5, 2027 (18 months after the IPO closing) or June 5, 2027 (21 months after the IPO closing), it may seek an amendment to amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the period of time to complete an initial Business Combination beyond 21 months. The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association requires at least a special resolution of shareholders as a matter of Cayman Islands law, meaning that such an amendment be approved by at least two-thirds of ordinary shares who, being entitled to do so, attend and vote (either in person or by proxy) at a general meeting of the company. If the Company seeks shareholder approval to extend beyond the 21-month period in which to complete an initial Business Combination to a later date, the Company is required to offer public shareholders the right to have their public ordinary shares redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less permitted withdrawals and up to $

Going Concern Consideration
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” we have determined that mandatory liquidation, should we not complete a Business Combination and an extension of our deadline to do so not be approved by the shareholders of the Company, and potential subsequent dissolution and the liquidity issue raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if it does not complete a Business Combination.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $
Management plans to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date and believes that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to fund its operating needs through the completion window. However, if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within the Completion Window, it will be required to liquidate. Accordingly, while management believes available liquidity is sufficient to support operations through the Completion Window, the mandatory liquidation date and the uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination within the required timeframe raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of significant global events such as the Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Palestine and U.S./Iran conflicts on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that these could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2: 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 (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. As such, the information included in these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these financial statements include all adjustments, which are only of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2026, and the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations included in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026.

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 Our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to nonemerging 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 a 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 expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. Interest income earned on certificates of deposit is recognized as earned and included in interest income in the accompanying statements of operations. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $
On March 4, 2026, the Company transferred $
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account and investment account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
| ● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; |
| ● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
| ● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
11
Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering
Offering costs consist of legal, administrative, and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs were allocated to the Public Rights and Private Placement Units issued in the Initial Public Offering on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares were charged against the carrying value of Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
Income Taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were unrecognized tax benefits and amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman Islands federal income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.
Class A Redeemable Share Classification
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.
Accordingly, on June 30, 2026, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheet, as reconciled in the following table:
| Public offering proceeds | $ | |||
| Less: Proceeds allocated to public rights | ( | ) | ||
| Less: Ordinary share issuance cost | ( | ) | ||
| Plus: Remeasurement of carrying value to redemption value | ||||

| Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2025 | $ | |||

12
Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the periods, with presentation of net income (loss) per redeemable share and non-redeemable share following the two-class method.
The calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the rights issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement since the exercise of the rights is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding public and private rights that may result in the issuance of ordinary shares upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination. However, because the conversion of such rights is contingent upon the occurrence of future events, the rights were excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary share for the periods presented. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share for the periods presented.
The following tables reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except share amounts):

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation costs resulting from the issuance of stock-based awards to directors as an expense in the financial statements over the requisite service period based on a measurement of fair value for each stock-based award. The fair value is amortized as compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. The valuation of stock-based awards requires management to make certain assumptions, including the fair market value of the Company’s ordinary shares, expected term, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and other relevant factors, as applicable to the specific award being valued. These assumptions reflect the Company’s best estimates, but they involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside the control of the Company.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Working Capital Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

NOTE 9: SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The CODM assesses performance for the single segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income or loss that also is reported on the unaudited condensed statement of operations as net income or loss.

The key measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM is net income or loss, which is comprised of interest income from cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, interest and dividend income earned on investments held in Trust Account, and general and administrative expenses.. Net income or loss is reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window. The CODM reviews interest income from cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and interest and dividend income earned on investments held 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. The CODM reviews general and administrative expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and the budget.

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated on May 10, 2023, as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”).
As of June 30, 2026, we had not yet commenced operations. All activity through June 30, 2026 relates to our formation and our Initial Public Offering which is described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, our search for a Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income from the proceeds held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company acting as trustee. We have selected December 31 as our fiscal year end.
Initial Public Offering and Private Placement
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on September 2, 2025. On September 5, 2025, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units including 3,000,000 additional public units as the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 655,500 units including 45,000 additional Private Placement Units as the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $6,555,000. Out of the aggregate amount of $6,555,000, the amount of $6,550,000 from the sale of the Private Placement Units are added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account and the balance of $5,000 was receivable from the Sponsor, which amount was written off to bad debt expense within general and administrative expenses on December 31, 2025.
20
If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the 18 or 21-month period after the closing of the Initial Public Offering (the “Completion Window”), it may seek an amendment to amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the period of time to complete an initial Business Combination beyond 21 months. The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association requires at least a special resolution of shareholders as a matter of Cayman Islands law, meaning that such an amendment be approved by at least two-thirds of ordinary shares who, being entitled to do so, attend and vote (either in person or by proxy) at a general meeting of the company. If the Company seeks shareholder approval to extend beyond the 21-month period in which to complete an initial Business Combination to a later date, the Company is required to offer public shareholders the right to have their public ordinary shares redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less permitted withdrawals and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses). There are no limitations to the number of times that the Company may seek shareholder approval or that shareholders may approve to extend beyond the 21-month period in which to complete a Business Combination at a later date. If the initial Business Combination is not completed within the Completion Window, the membership interests of the Sponsor become worthless.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $138,997 and $1,550,075, respectively, of cash held outside of the Trust Account, after payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering, and available for working capital purposes. As of June 30, 2026, we also held certificates of deposit totaling $1,008,704, of which $504,334 was classified as a cash equivalent and $504,370 was classified as a short-term investment. We held no certificates of deposit as of December 31, 2025.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, net cash used in operating activities was $656,744 and $0, respectively.
We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, including the funds held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our share capital is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
During the remainder of the Completion Window ending on March 5, 2027, or June 5, 2027 if extended, assuming a Business Combination is not consummated prior thereto, we will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount of interest available to us from the Trust Account is less than we expect as a result of the current interest rate environment, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial Business Combination. Following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Going Concern Consideration
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” we have determined that mandatory liquidation, should we not complete a Business Combination and an extension of our deadline to do so not be approved by the shareholders of the Company, and potential subsequent dissolution and the liquidity issue raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if it does not complete a Business Combination.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $138,997 in its operating bank account, $1,008,704 in an investment account (consisting of $504,334 classified as a cash equivalent and $504,370 classified as a short-term investment) and a working capital of $1,257,104. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs as a publicly traded company, to evaluate business opportunities, and to close on a Business Combination. Such costs will be incurred prior to generating any operating revenues. These factors also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Management plans to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date and anticipates that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations until then. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate a Business Combination within the Completion Window or that liquidity will be sufficient to fund operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations
Our entire activity from inception up to June 30, 2026 relates to our formation and the Initial Public Offering, and since the Initial Public Offering, our search for a Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination, at the earliest. We generate non-operating income from the proceeds held in the Trust Account.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we had a net income of $1,761,315 and $3,453,624, respectively, which consists of interest income earned on the Trust Account, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $2,086,066 and $4,133,228, respectively, partially offset by loss from operations of $324,751 and $679,604, respectively, derived from general and administrative expenses.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $78,233 and $81,100, respectively, which consisted of loss from operations consisting of general and administrative expenses.

Contractual Obligations
Administrative Services Agreement
Commencing on September 5, 2025, the Company has entered into an agreement to pay the Sponsor a total of up to $55,556 per month for office space and administrative and support services. Upon completion of a Business Combination or its liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred $166,668 and $333,336, respectively, for these services, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. The Company incurred no fees under this agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. There were no amounts payable under the agreement as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
Promissory Note
On June 6, 2024, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was noninterest bearing, unsecured and due upon the earlier of June 6, 2025 and the closing of the Initial Public Offering. On June 3, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Note, extending the maturity date to the earlier of June 6, 2026 and the closing of the Initial Public Offering. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding balances under the Note, which became due upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering.
Due to Related Party
The Sponsor pays certain costs on behalf of the Company, with such amounts reflected as due to related party. These amounts are due on demand and non-interest bearing. During the period from April 1, 2025 through September 5, 2025, the Sponsor paid certain costs totaling $168,559 on behalf of the Company. Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $168,559 due to related party from the proceeds not held in the Trust Account, resulting in no balance due to related party as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
SPAC Advisory Partners LLC dba Polaris Advisory Partners LLC (“Polaris”) was the lead underwriter on the Initial Public Offering. Polaris is a related party, as the management team of Polaris is the same as that of the Company. Polaris was entitled to cash underwriting fees of $0.15 per Unit, or $3,450,000 in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the Polaris is entitled to deferred underwriting commissions of $0.40 per Unit, or $9,200,000 in the aggregate. The deferred underwriting commissions will become payable to the Polaris from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Working Capital Loans
In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s founding team or any of their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into private placement units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding Working Capital Loans.
23
Critical Accounting Estimates
This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officers and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that due to inadequate segregation of duties within account processes and insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting, IT and financial reporting and record keeping, during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level and, accordingly, do not provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Units, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 655,500 Private Placement Units including 45,000 additional Private Placement Units as the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised in full to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $6,555,000.
Transaction costs amounted to $13,509,096, consisting of $3,450,000 of cash underwriting fees, $9,200,000 of deferred underwriting commissions which will be paid on the consummation of initial Business Combination, and $859,096 of other offering costs.
Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $230,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) with Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company acting as trustee.
