The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors”. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS:
a. | Organization and General |
Cactus Acquisition Corp. 1 Limited (hereafter – the Company) is a blank check company, incorporated on April 19, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (hereafter – the Business Combination).
The
Company may pursue a business combination target in any business or industry and across any geographical region. However, the original
sponsor focused its search on technology-based healthcare businesses domiciled in Israel and that carry out all or a substantial portion
of their activities in Israel. Upon the completion of the sale of
The Company is an early stage and an emerging growth company, and as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
All activity for the period from inception through March 31, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (the “Public offering”) described below, and activities to identify a business combination target. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering and the private placement (as defined below in Note 3). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
b. | Sponsors and Financing |
On
February 9, 2024, the Company’s first sponsor, Cactus Healthcare Management, L.P. (“Cactus LP”), entered into a sponsor
securities purchase agreement with EVGI Limited (“EVGI”), the Company’s second sponsor, pursuant to which, on February
23, 2024, Cactus LP transferred to EVGI
On
April 29, 2024, a subsequent sponsor securities purchase agreement was executed between EVGI, the Company’s second sponsor, and
ARWM Pte Limited (ARWM”), the Company’s third sponsor, pursuant to which, on May 16, 2024, EVGI transferred to ARWM
See Note 6 - Related Party Transactions regarding Second Sponsor Alliance, Third Sponsor Alliance, and Promissory Notes for additional information.
c. | The Trust Account |
The proceeds held in the Trust Account are invested in money market funds registered under the Investment Company Act and compliant with Rule 2a-7 thereof that maintain a stable net asset value of $ . Unless and until the Company completes the Initial Business Combination, it may pay its expenses only from the net proceeds of the Public Offering held outside the Trust Account.

d. | Extension Amendments / Business Combination |
On April 20, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of its 2023 annual general meeting (the “Meeting”), to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from May 2, 2023 to November 2, 2023. At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the extension.
On November 2, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Second Extension Meeting”), at which the Company’s shareholders voted to approve the Second Extension, which extended the mandatory liquidation date from November 2, 2023 to November 2, 2024.
On
November 1, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Third Extension Meeting), at which the Company’s

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (continued):
On
April 2, 2024, the Company entered into a non-binding heads of agreement with Tembo e-LV B.V. (Tembo), a private company incorporated
under the laws of the Netherlands. On August 29, 2024, the Company and Tembo signed a Business Combination Agreement (BCA). Under the
BCA, the consideration to be paid to the equity holders of Tembo is $
e. | Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern |
On November 2, 2024 the Company extended the date by which the Company has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from November 2, 2024 to November 2, 2025, the mandatory liquidation date. If a business combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. The Company intends to complete an Initial Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any business combination ahead of the mandatory liquidation date, nor that they will be able to raise sufficient funds to complete an Initial Business Combination. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, for the subsequent twelve months following the issuance date of these financial statements.
No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company fail to obtain financial support in its search for an Initial Business Combination, nor if it is required to liquidate after the mandatory liquidation date.
f. | Emerging Growth Company |
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 a 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.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS (continued):
g. | Notice of Delisting |
On October 29, 2024, the Company received a notice from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) stating that because the Company had not completed an initial business combination within 36 months of the effective date of its registration statement in connection with its initial public offering, it was not in compliance with Nasdaq IM 5101-2 and was therefore subject to delisting.
On November 2, 2024, the Company secured shareholder approval to extend its life by 12 months, to November 2, 2025. Trading in the Company’s securities on NASDAQ was suspended at the opening of business on November 5, 2024 and trading of the Company’s securities on the OTC market commenced on November 6, 2024, under the symbol CCTSF. The delisting and commencement of trading on OTC does not affect the Company’s previously announced business combination agreement with Tembo, as both parties continue to work to effectuate the completion of the transaction. The combined company intends to apply for up-listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market in connection with the completion of the Business Combination.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (hereafter – U.S. GAAP) and the regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (hereafter – SEC). The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had two classes of ordinary shares, Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. In order to determine the net loss attributable to each class, the Company first considered the total earnings (loss) allocable to both sets of shares. This is calculated using the total earnings (loss) less any Interest Earned on Investments Held in Trust Account. The accretion to redemption value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is fully allocated to the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We completed our initial public offering in November 2021, and since that time, we have engaged in discussions with potential business combination target companies; we have reached a definitive agreement with a specific target company with respect to an initial business combination with us. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering and the private placement of the private warrants, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
The issuance of additional ordinary shares in a business combination (by our company, or by a target company that will serve as the public company following the business combination and in which target company shareholders may possess a majority interest):
● | may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our initial public offering, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions of the Class B ordinary shares resulted in the issuance of Class A ordinary shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B ordinary shares; | |
● | may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded our Class A ordinary shares; | |
● | could cause a change of control if a substantial number of our (or the target company’s) ordinary shares are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors; | |
● | may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and | |
● | may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A ordinary shares and/or warrants. |
Similarly, if we or the target company issue(s) debt securities or otherwise incur significant indebtedness, it could result in:
● | default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations; | |
● | acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant; | |
● | our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand; | |
● | our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is issued and outstanding; | |
● | our inability to pay dividends on our ordinary shares; | |
● | using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our ordinary shares if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes; | |
● | limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate; | |
● | increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and | |
● | limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt. |
As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at March 31, 2025 we had $21,000 of cash and $2,242,000 of working capital deficiency. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

Business Combination Agreement
On August 29, 2024, we signed a Business Combination Agreement (BCA) with Tembo e-LV B.V. (Tembo), a private company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands,. Under the BCA, the consideration to be paid to the equity holders of Tembo is $838 million and will be paid entirely in the form of newly issued ordinary shares of new combined company, with each share valued at $10.00. The BCA was entered into by the parties following due diligence and receipt by our board of directors of a fairness opinion from an independent third party. We are advancing activities towards consummating a Business Combination with Tembo.
Under the terms of the BCA:
● | Company Share Exchange: All outstanding shares of Tembo will be contributed to Holdco in exchange for newly issued Holdco ordinary shares. |
● | Corporate Reorganization: Holdco will convert from a Dutch private limited liability company (B.V.) to a public limited liability company (N.V.). |
● | Merger: Merger Sub will merge with and into CCTSF, with CCTSF surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco. Each outstanding Class A ordinary share of CCTSF not redeemed by public shareholders will be exchanged for one Holdco ordinary share. |
● | Nasdaq Listing: Following the closing, Holdco will apply to list its ordinary shares on Nasdaq under a new ticker symbol. |
The BCA includes governance provisions, including board representation from both the Tembo and CCTSF sponsor groups and customary lock-up arrangements restricting the resale of Holdco shares following closing. The transaction is structured to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
In connection with the BCA, key shareholders of both Tembo and CCTSF have entered into Investor Support Agreements, agreeing to vote in favor of the proposed transaction and to refrain from exercising redemption rights. Additionally, the parties executed lock-up agreements and an Investor Rights Agreement providing customary registration rights for certain Holdco shareholders.
The closing of the business combination remains subject to regulatory approvals, including SEC clearance of the Form F-4 registration statement, the completion of financial audits under PCAOB standards, shareholder approvals, and other customary conditions.
On May 29, 2025, VivoPower International PLC, which owns 100% of Tembo, announced that they had received a non-binding proposal from Energi Holdings limited (“Energi”) for a direct strategic acquisition of VivoPower’s subsidiary, Tembo. Energi, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, is a global energy solutions company with $1 billion in annual revenues and operations spanning the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, Europe, and Southeast Asia. The proposal from Energi outlines its intention to acquire 51% of Tembo based on a total enterprise value of $200 million. The parties have agreed to work towards negotiating a final structure and binding transaction documents. In addition, Energi expressed its support for Tembo’s planned business combination with us.
Further, on March 25, 2024, we issued an unsecured promissory note to Energi, with the principal amount of $600,000. The Note has a maturity date of November 2, 2025. The balance due Energi as of March 31, 2025 was approximately $646,000. It is anticipated that the outstanding amount will be converted to equity at the time of the proposed business combination with Tembo and Energi transaction.
Currently, it is anticipated that VivoPower will maintain control of Tembo absent the proposed Energi transaction.
Delisting from Nasdaq
On October 29, 2024, we received a notice from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) stating that because we had not completed an initial business combination within 36 months of the effective date of its registration statement in connection with its initial public offering, we were not in compliance with Nasdaq IM 5101-2 and therefore subject to delisting. Trading in our securities on NASDAQ was suspended at the opening of business on November 5, 2024 and trading of our securities on the OTC market commenced on November 6, 2024, under the symbol CCTSFF. The delisting and commencement of trading on OTC does not affect our business combination agreement with Tembo, as both parties continue to work to effectuate the completion of the transaction. The combined company intends to apply for up-listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market in connection with the completion of the business combination.
Extension of our Combination Period - Third Extension
On November 1, 2024, we held an extraordinary general meeting, at which our shareholders voted to approve the Third Extension, which extended the mandatory liquidation date from November 2, 2024 to November 2, 2025. A total of 1,148,799 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed in connection with the Third Extension, resulting in 3,926,071 Class A ordinary shares outstanding, consisting of 763,572 publicly-held Class A ordinary shares and 3,162,499 founders shares. Accordingly, on November 13, 2024, $13,389,826 was distributed from the Trust Account to the shareholders who redeemed their shares.
On October 29, 2024, we and ARWM Inc Pte. Ltd. (our current Sponsor), entered into a non-redemption agreement (NRA) with an unaffiliated third party (the “Non-Redeeming Shareholder”). Pursuant to the NRA, the Non-Redeeming Shareholder agreed not to redeem (or to validly rescind any redemption requests with respect to) an aggregate of 500,000 publicly-held Class A ordinary shares of the Company (“Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the shareholder vote on the Articles Extension Proposal. In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem the Non-Redeemed Shares, the Sponsor agreed to transfer an aggregate of 125,000 founder shares held by it to the Non-Redeeming Shareholder immediately following, and subject to, consummation of an initial business combination. To the extent that a business combination does not close by May 2, 2025, the Sponsor agreed to transfer an additional 25,000 founder shares held by it per month beginning on May 3, 2025 and ending on October 2, 2025 (up to 150,000 founder shares).

Recent Developments
Promissory Note
On July 17, 2025, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to Hali International Limited (the “Lender”), not a related party, with a principal amount of $200,000 (the “Note”). The Note is repayable in full on or prior to December 31, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”). The Note bears interest at 12% per annum.
Results of Operations
We have not engaged in any revenue-generating operations to date. Our only activities since inception have been organizational activities, preparations for our initial public offering, and, subsequent to our initial public offering, searching for, and due diligence related to, potential target companies with which to consummate a business combination transaction. We have not and we will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on funds held in our trust account after our initial public offering. There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the March 31, 2025 date of our unaudited financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report, other than as reflected in the subsequent events note of the financial statements. After our initial public offering, which was consummated in November 2021, we have been incurring increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses related to our search for a target company.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we had a net loss of approximately $79,000, which consisted of $94,000 of interest income and dividend income and realized gains on marketable securities held in our trust account, less operating and financial expenses of $173,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $21,000 in our operating bank account, and a working capital deficit of $2,242,000.
Our liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through loans from the sponsors and third-party promissory notes to cover certain operating expenses.
On May 17, 2024, we issued an unsecured promissory note to our third sponsor, ARWM Inc Pte. Ltd. (the “Lender”). The Note’s original maturity date of June 30, 2025 has been extended to June 30, 2026. The balance due the Lender as of March 31, 2025 was approximately $780,000. If we do not consummate an Initial Business Combination by the maturity date the Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.
On March 25, 2024, we issued an unsecured promissory note to Energi Holding Limited (the “Lender”), unrelated party, with a principal amount of $600,000 (the “Note”). The Note has a maturity date of November 2, 2025. The balance due the Lender as of March 31, 2025 was approximately $646,000. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by the maturity date, the Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

On July 17, 2025, we issued an unsecured promissory note to Hali International Limited (the “Lender”), not a related party, with a principal amount of $200,000 (the “Note”). The Note has a maturity date of December 31, 2025.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in our trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on our trust account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), minus amounts paid out to redeeming shareholders, as consideration to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our ordinary shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in our trust account (less any amounts paid out to redeeming shareholders) will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
Prior to our initial business combination, we are using the proceeds held outside of our trust account primarily to structure, negotiate and complete a business combination, and pay for administrative and support services.
As of July 31, 2025, approximately $21,000 is available to us outside of the trust account to fund our working capital requirements. Because of the anticipated costs of consummating the identified target business, we have requested additional loans from several third parties. While, if obtained, we anticipate that these loans will suffice for the period leading up to our initial business combination, there can be no assurance that the loans will be obtained and, if they are, consummating an initial business combination may be greater than what we currently estimate would be needed to do so. Consequently, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate our trust account. That required liquidation date would be less than 12 months after the date of this Annual Report. That, among other factors, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. See “Item 1 - Risk Factors – Risks Relating to our Search for, and Consummation of or Inability to Consummate, a Business Combination - Because the funds being held outside of the trust account are insufficient to allow us to operate for the remainder of the combination period , that could limit the amount available to fund our search for a target business or businesses and complete our initial business combination, as we will depend on additional loans third parties to fund those activities” in our 2024 Annual Report.
Moreover, given the significant percentage of our public shareholders that have elected to redeem their shares in connection with our first extension meeting, our second extension meeting, our third extension meeting, and our article amendment meeting, and may elect to redeem at a meeting to approve a business combination, thereby reducing our cash resources, we likely will need to secure third party financing in order to successfully effect such a business combination and there can be no assurance that it will be available to us on terms acceptable to us or at all. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only raise financing by issuing additional securities simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. We cannot assure you that our plans for that financing or to consummate an initial business combination will be successful.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements; Commitments and Contractual Obligations; Quarterly Results
As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as described in Item 303 of Regulation S-K and did not have any commitments for capital expenditures or contractual obligations. 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 Estimates
None.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The net proceeds from our initial public offering and the sale of the private warrants held in the trust account, after reduction for payments made for the redemption of a portion of the public shares in connection with the first extension meeting, conversion amendment meeting, second extension meeting, and third extension meeting, are invested in U.S. government treasury bills 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 of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer/chief financial officer, whom we refer to as our Certifying Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer/chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2024 because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, our management has concluded that our control around the interpretation and accounting for the assignment of founder shares by the sponsor to directors was not effectively designed or maintained.
Management is in the process of initiating a number of measures to remediate such material weaknesses; however, as of March 31, 2025, management has not remediated the material weakness. If we are unable to remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner or we identify additional material weaknesses, we may be unable to provide required financial information in a timely and reliable manner and we may incorrectly report financial information. The existence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our reputation or investor perceptions of us, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our shares. We can give no assurance that the measures we have taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weakness identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. Even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on 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.
Disclosure of Internal Control Weakness – Insufficient Finance Personnel Leading to Lack of Segregation of Duties and Financial Reporting Risks
As part of management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, the Company identified a material weakness resulting from an insufficient number of qualified finance and accounting personnel. This staffing shortfall has led to inadequate segregation of duties within key financial processes and has increased the risk of errors or misstatements in the Company’s financial reporting. Management determined that the current finance team lacks the capacity to adequately separate accounting and financial reporting responsibilities. As a result, a limited number of individuals are responsible for multiple functions, reducing opportunities for independent oversight and increasing the risk that material financial misstatements may not be detected in a timely manner.
To remediate this material weakness, management plans to initiate several corrective actions. These include implementing enhanced review procedures, reallocating responsibilities to improve role separation, and evaluating the need for additional qualified finance personnel to strengthen oversight and reinforce the control environment. However, until these remediation efforts are fully implemented and have been in place for a sufficient period of time, there remains an ongoing risk that material errors or omissions in financial reporting could go undetected.
Despite this internal control weakness, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly state, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Management is committed to strengthening the Company’s internal controls and maintaining the integrity of its financial reporting processes.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes 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) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity
As a blank check company, we have no operations and therefore do not have any operations of our own that face material cybersecurity threats. However, we do depend on the digital technologies of third parties, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, any sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, systems or infrastructure or the cloud that we utilize, including those of third parties, could lead to corruption or misappropriation of our assets, proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data. Because of our reliance on the technologies of third parties, we also depend upon the personnel and the processes of third parties to protect against cybersecurity threats, and we have no personnel or processes of our own for this purpose. In the event of a cybersecurity incident impacting us, the management team will report to the board of directors and provide updates on the management team’s incident response plan for addressing and mitigating any risks associated with such an incident. As an early-stage company without significant investments in data security protection, we may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences. We also lack sufficient resources to adequately protect against, or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have material adverse consequences on our business and lead to financial loss. We have established certain processes for identifying, evaluating, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats as a part of our overall technology management strategy. These processes are designed and reassessed on a periodic basis to help protect our technology assets and operations from internal and external security threats.
