Going-concern doubt
— flagged Aug 12, 2026
Substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a 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 unaudited condensed 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 Aug 12, 2026
