• Going Concern Warning

  Management and auditor Marcum Asia both express substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, citing insufficient capital and a July 21, 2026 business combination deadline.

• Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls

  Disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31, 2026, due to material weaknesses in trust withdrawal authorization, redemption payment accuracy, and financial instrument valuation.

• Severe Liquidity Crisis

  Only $5,618 in cash held outside the trust account against a working capital deficit of $11,591,904. The company relies entirely on sponsor loans to fund operations.

• Nasdaq Delisting

  Effective March 26, 2025, the company's securities were delisted from Nasdaq and now trade on the OTC Markets, reducing liquidity and investor visibility.

The annual report reveals a SPAC in crisis. With only $5,618 in operating cash and a working capital deficit exceeding $11.5 million, the company cannot fund operations without sponsor loans. Both management and the auditor express substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The filing also discloses material weaknesses in internal controls over trust withdrawals, redemption payments, and financial instrument valuation — a red flag for governance. Delisted from Nasdaq in March 2025, the stock now trades OTC. The business combination deadline is July 21, 2026, and only 20,156 public shares remain after massive redemptions. Without a deal or further extension, liquidation is imminent.
