STARLINK AI ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — Description of Organization, Business Operations
Starlink AI Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 29, 2025. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses 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 and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of July 31, 2026, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities through July 31, 2026 are related to the Company’s organizational activities as well as activities related to completing the initial public offering (“IPO”), which are described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company 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 from the proceeds derived from the IPO and sale of Private Units (as defined below). The Company has selected January 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company’s sponsor is JKapital Ltd. (the “Sponsor”), a BVI business company with limited liability.
The
registration statement for the IPO was declared effective on May 7, 2026. On May 11, 2026, the Company consummated its IPO of
units (the “Public Units”). The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $ per unit generating gross proceeds
of $
The
Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional Units (the “Option Units”) at
$ per unit to cover over-allotments, if any. On May 20, 2026, the underwriters notified the Company of their partial exercise of
the over-allotment option to purchase additional units (the “Option Units”) at $ per unit. The closing of the
issuance and sale of the Option Units occurred on May 27, 2026, generating total gross proceeds of $
Upon
the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option, transaction costs amounted to $
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete a Business Combination having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into an initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.
A
total of $
| 5 |
The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. If the Company seeks shareholder approval, the Company will complete the Business Combination only if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its post-offering memorandum and articles of association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor and any of the Company’s officers or directors that may hold Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) (the “Initial Shareholders”) and the underwriter has agreed (a) to vote its Founder Shares, Private Shares (as defined in Note 4), shares issued as underwriting commissions (see Note 6) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination and (b) not to convert any shares (including the Founder Shares) in connection with a shareholder vote to approve, or sell the shares to the Company in any tender offer in connection with, a proposed Business Combination.
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 post-offering 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 redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The
Company will have 12 months from the closing date of IPO (or 15 months in the event that a definitive business combination agreement
has been publicly announced within such 12-month period) to complete its initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete
its initial Business Combination within such period, unless the Company extends such period pursuant to its post-offering memorandum
and articles of association (subject to shareholder approval, there are no limitations as to the duration of an extension or the number
of times the Completion Window may be extended by shareholders via an amendment to our post-offering memorandum and articles of association),
the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more
than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then
on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the
Company to pay taxes, if any (net of taxes payable and less up to $
| 6 |
The Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares in connection with the completion of initial business combination, (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our post-offering memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the obligation to provide holders of the ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within the Completion Window, or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our ordinary shares and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any founder shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate an initial business combination within the Completion Window (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial business combination within the prescribed time frame). If the Company seeks shareholders’ approval, the Company will complete its initial business combination only if it obtains the approval of an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and the Company’s post-offering memorandum and articles of association. In such case, the initial shareholder has agreed to vote its founder shares and public shares in favor of initial business combination.
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $ per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $ per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot assure the Sponsor will be able to satisfy those obligations.
Going Concern Consideration
As
of July 31, 2026, the Company had $
Risks and Uncertainties
Various social and political circumstances in the U.S. and around the world (including tariffs, rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China, and other uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies with other countries), may contribute to increased market volatility and economic uncertainties or deterioration in the U.S. and worldwide.
As a result of these circumstances and the ongoing global conflicts and/or other future global conflicts, the Company’s ability to consummate a Business Combination, or the operations of a target business with which the Company ultimately consummates a Business Combination, may be materially and adversely affected. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. They should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2026. The interim results for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through January 31, 2027 or for any future periods.
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 non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
In preparing the financial statement in conformity with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s management makes 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 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.

Investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Earnings on investments held in the Trust Account are included in interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in the Trust Account is determined using available market information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
| ● | Level 1—Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| ● | Level 2—Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. | |
| ● | Level 3—Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities. |
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2026 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Offering Costs
The
Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs – SEC Materials”
(“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Upon the completion of
the IPO and the partial exercise of the over-allotment option in May 2026, total offering costs were $
The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (ASC 480). Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) will be classified as a liability instrument and will be 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) will be classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares will be classified as stockholders’ equity. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies ordinary shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. Given that the ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO and partial exercise of over-allotment option were issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., rights), the initial carrying value of ordinary shares classified as temporary equity has been allocated to the proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either (i) 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 (ii) 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. Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption 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, as of July 31, 2026, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. As of July 31, 2026, the ordinary shares subject to redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Rights Accounting
The Company accounts for rights as either equity-classified or liability-classified instrument based on an assessment of the right’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815. The assessment considers whether the rights are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the rights meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the rights are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the right 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 right issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the rights are outstanding.
For issued or modified rights that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the rights are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. For issued or modified rights that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the rights 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 rights are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
As the rights to be issued upon the closing of the IPO and private placements meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815, therefore, the rights are classified as equity. As of July 31, 2026, there are Public and Private Rights issued and outstanding.
The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as redeemable ordinary shares (the Public Shares) and non-redeemable ordinary shares (the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Shares and the Representative Shares). Net income per ordinary share is calculated using the two-class method and is computed by dividing net income, allocated on a pro rata basis between the two classes based on the weighted average number of shares of each class outstanding during the period, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for each class. The Company has elected to treat only the portion of the periodic adjustment to the carrying amount of the redeemable shares that reflects a redemption in excess of fair value like a dividend. As the redemption value of the redeemable shares approximates fair value, no such adjustment was required and income or loss allocable to each class of ordinary shares has not been adjusted for the accretion of carrying value to redemption value.
The calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the rights issued in connection with the IPO and the Private Placement, since the conversion of the rights is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As of July 31, 2026, the Company did not have any other dilutive securities or contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income per ordinary share is the same as basic net income per ordinary share for the period presented.
The net income per share presented in the unaudited condensed statements of operations is based on the following:

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026. 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 income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statement.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure (“ASU 2023-09”), which enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted this guidance on February 1, 2026 and there was no significant impact.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

Note 3 — Initial Public Offering
On May 11, 2026 and May 27, 2026, the Company sold Units and Option Units, respectively, at a price of $ per Unit. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, par value $ per share and one right (the “Public Right”). Each Public Right entitles the holder to receive one-fourth (1/4) of one ordinary share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares upon conversion of the rights. As a result, the holder must hold rights in multiples of four in order to receive shares for all of their rights upon closing of a Business Combination.
Note 4 — Private Placement
Simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO and the over-allotment option, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of Private Units and Private
Units at a price of $ per Private Unit, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $
Each Private Unit will consist of one ordinary share (“Private Share”) and one right (“Private Right”). Each Private Right will receive one-fourth (1/4) of one ordinary share upon the consummation of a Business Combination. The proceeds from the Private Units were added to the proceeds from the IPO which were deposited in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Units and all underlying securities will expire and become worthless.

Founder Shares
On
September 29, 2025, the Company agreed to issue to the Sponsor ordinary shares with a par value of $ per share (the “Founder
Shares”) for an aggregated consideration of $
As of July 31, 2026, there were Founder Shares issued and outstanding, after the forfeiture of Founder Shares for no consideration as a result of the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase Units which was closed on May 27, 2026. As of January 31, 2026, Founder Shares were issued and outstanding, of which up to shares were subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part by the underwriters. Ordinary shares have been retroactively restated to reflect the issuance of an additional founder shares to the Sponsor for no consideration on February 20, 2026.
The Founder Shares are identical to the ordinary shares included in the Units being sold in the IPO, and holders of Founder Shares have the same shareholder rights as public shareholders, except that (i) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, and (ii) the Sponsor, officers and directors of the Company will enter into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they will agree (A) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, private placement shares and public shares in connection with the completion of its initial Business Combination and (B) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and private placement shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within 12 months from the closing date of this offering (or 15 months in the event that a definitive business combination agreement has been publicly announced within such 12-month period) (subject to shareholder approval, there are no limitations as to the duration of an extension or the number of times the Completion Window may be extended by shareholders via an amendment to the post-offering memorandum and articles of association), although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within such time period and (iii) the Founder Shares and private placement shares are subject to registration rights. If the Company submits its initial Business Combination to its public shareholders for a vote, the Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed (and their permitted transferees will agree), pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement to be entered into with the Company, to vote any Founder Shares and private placement shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the Company’s initial Business Combination.
With certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to certain permitted transferees) until the earlier of 180 days after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination or the date on which the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $ per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 90 days after the Company’s initial Business Combination.

Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Registration Rights
On May 7, 2026, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Units and certain other security holders, pursuant to which such holders are entitled to certain demand and “piggy-back” registration rights. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands that the Company registers such securities. The holders of a majority of the private units and units issued in payment of working capital loans made to us can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing on the date that the Company consummate an initial business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of an initial business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriter, A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”), a 45-day option from the effective date of the Registration Statement (May 7, 2026) to purchase up to additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the applicable underwriting discounts and commissions, expiring on June 21, 2026. The underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option to purchase Units which was closed on May 27, 2026, which resulted in shares of the total ordinary shares no longer being subject to forfeiture. The remaining shares were subsequently forfeited for no consideration after the expiration of the over-allotment option in June 2026.
| 12 |
Representative Shares
The Representative Shares have the same terms as any founder shares issued as part of the IPO and shall be subject to a 180-day lock-up from the closing of the IPO. The Representative Shares provide customary anti-dilution provisions (for stock dividends and splits and recapitalizations) consistent with FINRA Rule 5110, and further, the number of shares underlying the Representative Shares shall be reduced, if necessary, to comply with FINRA rules or regulations.
Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to the IPO pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of the FINRA Manual. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not be sold during the offering, or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales in the IPO, subject to exceptions pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(2).
Note 7 - Shareholders’ Deficit
Ordinary
Shares — The Company is authorized to issue up to
ordinary shares with a par value of $
per share. On September 29, 2025, the Company issued
ordinary shares to the Sponsor for $
As of July 31, 2026, there were Founder Shares issued and outstanding; the share amount reflects the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, which was closed on May 27, 2026 and the forfeiture of Founder Shares for no consideration following the expiration of the over-allotment option in June 2026.
Rights — As of July 31, 2026, there were Public Rights and Private Rights outstanding, respectively. There were no rights outstanding as of January 31, 2026. Each holder of a right will receive one-fourth (1/4) of one ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of such right redeemed all shares held by it in connection with a Business Combination. No fractional shares will be issued upon conversion of the rights. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of rights in order to receive their additional shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, as the consideration related thereto has been included in the Unit purchase price paid for by investors in the IPO. If the Company enters into a definitive agreement for a Business Combination in which the Company will not be the surviving entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of rights to receive the same per ordinary share consideration the holders of the ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary shares basis and each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert its rights in order to receive one share underlying each right (without paying additional consideration). The shares issuable upon conversion of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company).
If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the completion window and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights, and the rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, holders of the rights might not receive the ordinary shares underlying the rights.

Note 8 — Segment Information
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has adopted the guidance in ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, in the accompanying financial statements.
The
Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CODM”), who reviews the
assets, operating results and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing
financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has
When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:
Schedule of Segment Information
| July 31, 2026 | January 31, 2026 | |||||||
| Investments held in Trust Account | $ | $ | ||||||
The CODM reviews the position of total assets available to assess if the Company has sufficient resources available to discharge its liabilities.

| General and administrative expenses | $ | $ | ||||||
| Interest earned on investments held in Trust Account | $ | |||||||
The key measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM is general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses include accounting expenses, printing expenses, and regulatory filing fees, none of which are deemed to be significant segment expenses, and are reviewed in aggregate to ensure alignment with budget and contractual obligations. These expenses are monitored to manage and forecast cash available to complete a business combination within the required period.
The CODM reviews interest earned on investments in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investments with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement.
Note 9 — Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date when these financial statements were issued. Based on this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 29, 2025, for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our IPO, the sale of the Private Units (as defined below), our securities, debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt. Our Sponsor is JKapital Ltd.
The registration statement on Form S-1 for our IPO was declared effective on May 7, 2026. On May 11, 2026, we consummated our IPO of 10,000,000 units (the “Units,” each a “Unit”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, par value US$0.0001 per share, of the Company (each an “Ordinary Share,” collectively the “Ordinary Shares”) and one right (each a “Right”), with each Right entitling the holder to receive one-fourth of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000 to the Company. The underwriters were granted a 45-day option from the date of the Final Prospectus to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any.
Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 221,500 Units to the Sponsor (each, a “Private Unit” and collectively, the “Private Units”), at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $2,215,000.
On May 20, 2026, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase 500,000 Units (the “Option Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Unit. On May 27, 2026, we completed the sale of the Option Units to the underwriters, generating gross proceeds of $5,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Over-Allotment Units, we consummated the second closing of the Private Placement, resulting in the purchase of an aggregate of additional 4,750 Private Units by the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $47,500.
Following the closing of the IPO, the partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the Private Placement, a total of $105,525,000 ($10.05 per Unit) was held in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”). We incurred total transaction costs of $5,000,995, consisting of $472,500 upfront underwriting commission paid in cash at the closing date of the IPO and the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, $3,675,000 deferred underwriting commission (representing 3.5% of the proceeds remaining in the Trust Account immediately prior to the closing of the initial Business Combination, assuming no redemptions of Public Shares), and $853,495 of legal and other offering costs.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete an initial business combination will be successful.
Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that we will have until 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or 15 months in the event that a definitive business combination agreement has been publicly announced during such 12-month period), or until such earlier liquidation date as our board of directors may approve, to consummate our initial business combination. We refer to the time period we have to complete an initial business combination, as it may be extended as described above, as the “completion window.” If we have not completed our initial business combination within the completion window, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest (net of funds withdrawn to pay our taxes and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from September 29, 2025 (inception) through July 31, 2026 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for an initial business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended July 31, 2026, we had net income of $707,825, which consisted of interest income of $847,992, offset by general and administrative expenses of $140,167.
For the six months ended July 31, 2026, we had net income of $674,969, which consisted of interest income of $847,992, offset by general and administrative expenses of $173,023.
Factors That May Adversely Affect our Results of Operations
Our results of operations and our ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond our control. Our business could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, public health considerations, and geopolitical instability. We cannot at this time predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may negatively impact our business and our ability to complete an initial business combination.
Going Concern Consideration
As of July 31, 2026, the Company had $545,960 in cash and working capital of $578,305. The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the IPO had been satisfied through a $300,000 promissory note and advances from the Sponsor.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account (net of taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of interest to pay liquidation and dissolution expenses), to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. 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 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.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that an initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,000,000 of such working capital loans may be convertible into units upon the consummation of our initial business combination at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Units.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of the consummation of an initial Business Combination. In addition, the Company currently has until May 11, 2027 (unless the Company extends such period) to consummate the initial Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the prescribed timeline, the Company will trigger an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards “Codification Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, the Company has determined that it has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Completion Window. The Company lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the date of the issuance of the financial statements. Therefore, management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with the Sponsor, effective from the date of the Final Prospectus through the earlier of the consummation by the Company of an initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation, to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space and administrative and support services.
Underwriting Agreement
We granted the underwriters a 45-day option following the date of the Final Prospectus to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On May 20, 2026, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase the Option Units at $10.00 per unit. The closing of the issuance and sale of the Option Units occurred on May 27, 2026. As a result of the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, 125,000 out of the total 375,000 ordinary shares held by the Sponsor were no longer subject to forfeiture. The remaining 250,000 shares were subsequently forfeited for no consideration after the expiration of the over-allotment option in June 2026.
The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of 0.45% of the gross proceeds of the IPO and over-allotment, or $472,500 which was paid upon the closing of the IPO and the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option. The underwriters were also entitled to an aggregate of 150,000 ordinary shares (“Representative Shares”), as part of representative compensation, which were issued upon the closing of the IPO. Finally, a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the proceeds remaining in the Trust Account immediately prior to the closing of the initial Business Combination will be payable in cash upon the closing of the initial Business Combination, or $3,675,000 assuming no redemptions of Public Shares.
Representative Shares
The Representative Shares have the same terms as any founder shares issued as part of the IPO and shall be subject to a 180-day lock-up from the closing of the IPO. The Representative Shares provide customary anti-dilution provisions (for stock dividends and splits and recapitalizations) consistent with FINRA Rule 5110, and further, the number of shares underlying the Representative Shares shall be reduced, if necessary, to comply with FINRA rules or regulations.
Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement relating to the IPO pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of the FINRA Manual. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not be sold during the offering, or sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement of sales in the IPO, subject to exceptions pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(2).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of July 31, 2026. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, 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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our unaudited financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of unaudited financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses and related disclosures. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. 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, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. As of July 31, 2026, we have not identified any critical accounting policies and estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure (“ASU 2023-09”), which enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company adopted this guidance on February 1, 2026 and there was no significant impact.
The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted 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 include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation with the participation of management of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter ended July 31, 2026, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of July 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, because, in light of the Company's limited operations and personnel since inception as a blank check company, the Company has not yet fully designed, implemented and documented formal internal control over financial reporting, including with respect to segregation of duties and written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, management believes that the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Management intends to continue to develop and formalize the Company's internal control over financial reporting, including in connection with the preparation for its initial business combination.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
We are not currently required to certify and report on our internal controls as defined by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event that we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer and accelerated filer will we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement. Further, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act, we intend to 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 requirement.
As of July 31, 2026, we have not completed an assessment, nor have our auditors tested our systems, of internal controls. We expect to assess the internal controls of our target business or businesses prior to the completion of our initial Business Combination and, if necessary, to implement and test additional controls as we may determine are necessary in order to state that we maintain an effective system of internal controls. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding the adequacy of internal controls.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Internal Controls
A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. In addition, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
To the knowledge of our management, there is no litigation currently pending against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to include risk factors in this Quarterly Report. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report include the risk factors described in our Final Prospectus. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Final Prospectus.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the fiscal period covered by this Quarterly Report, on February 20, 2026, we issued 1,150,000 Ordinary Shares to our Sponsor, which aggregated the number of founder shares owned by our Sponsor to 2,875,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”). The Sponsor paid an aggregate consideration of $25,000 for the Founder Shares. The Founder Shares originally included up to 375,000 Ordinary Shares subject to forfeiture, to the extent that the underwriter’s over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part within the 45-day exercise period, so that the number of Founder Shares would equal, on an as-converted basis, approximately 20% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the IPO. On May 20, 2026, the underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option to purchase 500,000 additional Units. As a result of the partial exercise, 125,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture. Upon the expiration of the remaining over-allotment option in June 2026, the remaining 250,000 Founder Shares were forfeited for no consideration.
During the fiscal period covered by this Quarterly Report, on May 11, 2026, simultaneously with the consummation of our IPO, we consummated the First Private Placement of 221,500 Private Units to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $2,215,000. On May 27, 2026, simultaneously with the closing of the underwriter’s partial exercise of the over-allotment option, we consummated the Second Private Placement of 4,750 Private Units to the Sponsor, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $47,500. The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as the transactions did not involve a public offering. The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, subject to certain limited exceptions as described in the Final Prospectus. The Sponsor agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Final Prospectus) until 30 days following the completion of the Company’s initial business combination.
A total of $105,525,000 ($10.05 per Unit) of the net proceeds from the sales of Units in the IPO, the Option Units and the Private Units were placed in the Trust Account.
For a description of the use of the proceeds generated in our IPO, see Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
None.
Item 5. Other Information
During the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2026, none of the Company’s directors or officers adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).
