Substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
“In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, "Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern," the Company's management evaluated the Company's liquidity and financial condition, and determined that the Company lacks the liquidity to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to address this uncertainty with an initial Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company's plans to complete an initial Business Combination will be successful.”View the 10-Q filed May 12, 2026
Total shares sold short and not yet covered, reported to FINRA by broker-dealers twice a month. Each reading settles on the 15th and the last business day of the month and is published seven business days later — the next scheduled dates are listed at the top of the table. Days to cover divides the short position by average daily volume; a high value (above 5) can signal short-squeeze potential.
