The company's first quarterly report after its June 2026 IPO reveals substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, citing insufficient financial resources to sustain operations for a year. Management plans to rely on working capital loans from the sponsor, but there is no assurance of success. Additionally, the company disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting, including inadequate segregation of duties, lack of written documentation, and insufficient accounting resources.
