  • Going Concern Warning Reiterated

    Management and auditors continue to express substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year, citing a projected working capital deficit and significant future costs.

  • Operating Cash Burn

    Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $183,330, reducing the cash balance outside the trust account to $625,445.

  • Limited Cash Runway

    With the current burn rate, the company has approximately 3.4 quarters of cash runway outside its trust account, which is critical for a SPAC still seeking a business combination.

  • Business Combination Deadline

    The company must complete a business combination by June 26, 2027, adding pressure given its ongoing liquidity challenges.
