NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
Keen Vision Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated on June 18, 2021, under the laws of the British Virgin Islands for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (“Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination.
The Company is an early stage company and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage companies and emerging growth companies. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities through March 31, 2025 relate to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”) and activities necessary to identify a potential target and prepare 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 will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income and changes in unrealized appreciation of Trust Account assets from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

Business Combination
The Company’s management has broad discretion
with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and sale of the Private Placement Units, although
substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Nasdaq rules provide
that the Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least
The Company will provide its shareholders with
the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection
with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. In connection with an Initial
Business Combination, the Company may seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which
shareholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against a Business Combination. The Company shall
not consummate such Business Combination unless (i) the Company has net tangible assets of at least $
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company
seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s
Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides 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 Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to
If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, offer such redemption pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.
The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their
public shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $

The Sponsor and any of the Company’s officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as described in Note 5) (as defined the “initial shareholders”) are identical to the Public Shares except that the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below. The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of the initial business combination, with respect thereto, a vote to amend the provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, or a tender offer by the Company prior to a Business Combination.
On March 22, 2024, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with a business combination target (the “Target”), regarding a potential business combination involving the Target and its subsidiaries (the “Proposed Transaction”). The Target is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company based in Boston, U.S., focusing on i) the research, development, manufacture and use of self-developed pioneering human stem cell-based bioengineering technology platform for novel drug discovery; and ii) the development of next-generation cell and gene therapies for a range of difficult-to-treat or incurable diseases. With a pipeline of therapeutic candidates, the Target’s several experimental gene therapies have already obtained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Investigational New Drug (IND) approvals as ongoing clinical trials at multiple premier hospitals in the U.S. with active patient enrolments.
The LOI is non-binding and no agreement providing for any Proposed Transaction or any other transaction or the participation by either party therein will be deemed to exist unless and until definitive agreements have been executed. Pursuant to the IPO prospectus dated July 24, 2023, (Registration No. 333-269659) filed by the Company for the initial public offering (the “IPO”), the Company is entitled to an automatic six-month extension to complete a business combination (the “Automatic Extension Period”) after the execution of the LOI and has 15 months from the closing of its IPO, or October 27, 2024, to complete its initial business combination period.
On September 3, 2024, the Company has entered into merger agreement (“Merger Agreement”) with Medera Inc. (“Medera”). The Company will incorporate a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Acquirer”) to be a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for the purpose of the merger of Company with and into the Acquirer (the “Reincorporation Merger”), in which Acquirer will be the surviving entity. Acquirer upon its incorporation will form a Cayman Islands exempted company to be a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquirer (“Merger Sub”) for the purpose of effectuating the Acquisition Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, (a) The Company will reincorporate by merging with and into the Acquirer, in which the Acquirer will be the surviving company and the Company will cease to exist, and (b) promptly after the Reincorporation Merger, the parties intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into Medera, in which Medera will be the surviving entity (the “Acquisition Merger”, together with the Reincorporation Merger, the “Mergers” and together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Proposed Business Combination”).
At the effective time of the Acquisition Merger,
each outstanding Medera Ordinary Share (excluding treasury shares and dissenting shares) will be cancelled and converted into the right
to receive a number of Acquirer Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio, as outlined in the Merger Agreement. The number of Acquirer
Ordinary Shares to be delivered by Acquirer to shareholders of Medera at the Closing is based on a net value of $
On October 25, 2024, the Company entered into
an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trust Amendment”).
Pursuant to the Trust Amendment, the Company has the right to extend the time for KVAC to complete its business combination (the “Business
Combination Period”) under the Trust Agreement for a period of nine months from October 27, 2024 to July 27, 2025, by depositing
into the Trust Account $

The Company will have until May 27, 2025 (unless
further extended) to consummate a Business Combination. However, if the Company anticipates that it may not be able to consummate a Business
Combination within nine months (the “Combination Period”), the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a Business
Combination up to four times, each by an additional one month each time (for a total of 24 months including Automatic Extension Period)
by depositing into the Trust Account $
As of the date of this report, the Company has
extended four times by an additional one month each time, and so it now has until May 27, 2025 to consummate a business combination. Pursuant
to the terms of the current amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the trust agreement between the Company and

Liquidity and going concern
As of March 31, 2025, the Company has reported
a working capital deficit of $
Additionally, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern if a Business Combination is not consummated by May 27, 2025 (unless further extended). These consolidated unaudited condensed 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.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
| ● | Basis of presentation |
These accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statements and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 7, 2025. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
| ● | Principles of consolidation |
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated upon consolidation.
A subsidiary is the entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the activities of the Company and each of the following entities:

| KVAC (Cayman) Limited (“Acquirer”) | Incorporated on August 28, 2024 | |||
| KVAC MS (Cayman) Limited | Incorporated on July 10, 2024 |
| ● | Emerging growth company |
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 |
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
| ● | Cash and investment held in Trust Account |
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds, which are invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities. These securities are presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Earnings on these securities are included in dividend income in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and are automatically reinvested. The fair value for these securities is determined using quoted market prices in active markets. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive income and realized gains and losses are reported in other income.

KEEN VISION ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| ● | Warrant accounting |
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 Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, 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 ordinary shares 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 of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. Warrants that meet the requirement for equity classification are recorded at their fair value at the time of issuance and are not revalued at each reporting date. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
As the warrants issued upon the Initial Public Offering and private placements meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 480, therefore, the warrants are classified as 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. 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 ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events
and considered to be outside of the Company’s control. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
| ● | Fair value of financial instruments |
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) 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. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represents 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.
F-12
KEEN VISION ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, the valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 — Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by the market through correlation or other means.
Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
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.
The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of cash and other current assets, accrued expenses, due to a related party are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 due to the short maturities of such instruments.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

| ● | Income taxes |
Income taxes are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The Company’s management determined that the British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands are the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

KEEN VISION ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented.
The Company is considered to be an exempted British Virgin Islands company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the British Virgin Islands.
After the Initial Public Offering, the proceeds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations 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. An investment in this offering may result in uncertain U.S. federal income tax consequences.
| ● | Net income (loss) per share |
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share
in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the
redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable
ordinary shares and non-redeemable ordinary shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net income (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 ordinary shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to the redemption value of the
ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders. Accretion associated with
the redeemable shares of ordinary share is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. As of March
31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private
warrants to purchase an aggregate of

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 recognize the changes immediately. 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).

Overview
We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on June 18, 2021, and for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities, which we refer to throughout this Quarterly Report as our initial business combination. We have not selected any business combination target with respect to the initial business combination.
On July 27, 2023, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 14,950,000 units (the “Units”), inclusive of the over-allotment option of 1,950,000 Units. Each Unit consisted of one ordinary share, par value US$0.0001 per share and one redeemable warrant. Our Registration Statement on Form S-1 for the Initial Public Offering was declared effective by the SEC on July 24, 2023. EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC (“EF Hutton”), and Brookline Capital Markets, a division of Arcadia Securities, LLC (“Brookline”) acted as an underwriter for the Initial Public Offering. The Units were sold at an offering price of US$10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of US$149,500,000.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering on July 27, 2023, we consummated the sale of 678,575 Private Placement Units. The Private Placement Units were sold at a price of US$10.00 per Private Placement Unit in the private placement, generating gross proceeds of US$6,785,750.

Transaction costs amounted to US$6,597,980, consisting of US$2,990,000 of underwriting commissions, US$2,990,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and US$617,980 of other offering costs.
On March 22, 2024, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) with a business combination target (the “Target”), regarding a potential business combination involving the Target and its subsidiaries (the “Proposed Transaction”). The Target is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company based in Boston, U.S., focusing on i) the research, development, manufacture and use of self-developed pioneering human stem cell-based bioengineering technology platform for novel drug discovery; and ii) the development of next-generation cell and gene therapies for a range of difficult-to-treat or incurable diseases. With a pipeline of therapeutic candidates, the Target’s several experimental gene therapies have already obtained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Investigational New Drug (IND) approvals as ongoing clinical trials at multiple premier hospitals in the U.S. with active patient enrolments. The LOI is non-binding and no agreement providing for any Proposed Transaction or any other transaction or the participation by either party therein will be deemed to exist unless and until definitive agreements have been executed.
Pursuant to the IPO prospectus dated July 24, 2023 (Registration No. 333-269659) filed by KVAC for the IPO, the Company is entitled to an automatic six-month extension to complete a business combination (the “Automatic Extension Period”) after the execution of the LOI and has 15 months from the closing of its IPO to complete its initial business combination period.
On September 3, 2024, the Company has entered into merger agreement (“Merger Agreement”) with Medera Inc. (“Medera”). The Company will incorporate a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Acquirer”) to be a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for the purpose of the merger of Company with and into the Acquirer (the “Reincorporation Merger”), in which Acquirer will be the surviving entity. Acquirer upon its incorporation will form a Cayman Islands exempted company to be a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquirer (“Merger Sub”) for the purpose of effectuating the Acquisition Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, (a) The Company will reincorporate by merging with and into the Acquirer, in which the Acquirer will be the surviving company and the Company will cease to exist, and (b) promptly after the Reincorporation Merger, the parties intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into Medera, in which Medera will be the surviving entity (the “Acquisition Merger”, together with the Reincorporation Merger, the “Mergers” and together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Proposed Business Combination”).
At the effective time of the Acquisition Merger, each outstanding Medera Ordinary Share (excluding treasury shares and dissenting shares) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a number of Acquirer Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio, as outlined in the Merger Agreement. The number of Acquirer Ordinary Shares to be delivered by Acquirer to shareholders of Medera at the Closing is based on a net value of $622,560,000 for 100% of Medera’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares, with each Acquirer Ordinary Share valued at $10.00.
On each of October 28, 2024, November 20, 2024, December 23, 2024, January 22, 2025, February 24, 2025, March 24, 2025 and April 25, 2025, respectively, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $200,000 to the KVC Sponsor LLC in exchange for KVC Sponsor LLC depositing such amount into the Company’s Trust Account in order to extend the amount of available time to complete a business combination until May 27, 2025. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of a business combination by the Company. In addition, the Note may be converted by the holder into units of the Company identical to the units issued in the Company’s initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per unit.

Results of Operations
All activity from inception up to March 31, 2025 related to our formation and the Initial Public Offering. Since the Initial Public Offering, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of Business Combination candidates, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination. We incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well due diligence expenses in connection with our searches for business combination targets.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net income of $568,171, which comprised of general and administrative expenses and interest income.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had a net income of $3,266,193, which comprised of general and administrative expenses and interest income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, we had cash of $15,964. Until the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of ordinary shares by the Sponsor, loans provided by the Sponsor under a certain unsecured promissory note and advances from the Sponsor.
On July 27, 2023, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 14,950,000 Units, including 1,950,000 Units upon the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share and one warrant. Each Warrant entitling its holder to purchase one ordinary share at a price of US$11.50 per share. The Units were sold at an offering price of US$10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of US$149,500,000.
As of July 27, 2023, a total of US$151,368,750 of the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering and the private placement consummated simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering were deposited in the Trust Account established for the benefit of our public shareholders.
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 capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our 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 Business Combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.
3
We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern if a Business Combination is not consummated May 27, 2025 (unless further extended). These unaudited condensed consolidated 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 we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-balance sheet financing arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on July 24, 2023, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units (including securities contained therein), and units (including securities contained therein) that may be issued on conversion of working capital loans or extension loans and are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement signed on the effective date of this offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company’s register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company completion of initial business combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters are entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 2% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $2,990,000, upon the closing of the Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any significant critical accounting estimates. We have identified the following significant accounting policies:
Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. 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 our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events and considered to be outside of our control. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 6,404,652 and 6,404,652 ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Warrant accounting
We account 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 FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, 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 our own ordinary shares 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 of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
The warrants issued upon the Initial Public Offering and private placements meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 480.
Net income (loss) per share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable ordinary shares and non-redeemable ordinary shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net income (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 ordinary shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to the redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of ordinary share is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,628,575 and 15,628,575 shares, respectively, in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) 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 and the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On July 27, 2023, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 14,950,000 Units (including 1,950,000 over-allotment units), each Unit consisting of one ordinary share and one redeemable warrant, for $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $149,500,000. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.
The securities in the Initial Public Offering, including the exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option, were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-269659). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on July 24, 2023.
On July 27, 2023, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we sold an aggregate of 678,575 Private Units in a private placement with the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $ 6,785,750. The Private Units are identical to the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except as otherwise disclosed in the registration statement.
