A SPAC II ACQUISITION CORP.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operation

 

A SPAC II Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on June 28, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination.

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities from June 28, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2024, are related to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“IPO”) and its search of a Business Combination target as described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on May 2, 2022. On May 5, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”), which includes the partial exercise of the over-allotment option of 1,500,000 Units granted to the underwriters. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with A SPAC II (Holdings) Corp., the Company’s sponsor, of 8,966,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $8,966,000.

 

Transaction costs amounted to $13,150,218, consisting of $3,380,000 of underwriting fees, $7,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees (payable only upon completion of a Business Combination), $567,629 of other offering costs and $2,202,589 fair value of the 300,000 representative shares considered as part of the transaction costs.

 

The Company also issued 300,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares (the “Representative Shares”) to Maxim Group LLC, (“Maxim”), the representative of the underwriters, as part of representative compensation, the fair value of which is $2,202,589. The Representative Shares are identical to the public shares except that Maxim has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such representative shares until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Representative Shares are deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the commencement of sales in this offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). In addition, the representatives have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account (as defined below) with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months of the closing of the IPO (or 21 months, if the Company extends the time to complete a Business Combination). 

 

Upon the closing of the IPO on May 5, 2022, $203,500,000 ($10.175 per Unit) from the net offering proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and a portion of the sale of the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) maintained by Continental Stock Transfer& Trust as a trustee and will be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

 

The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares sold with the Units (the “Public Shares”) sold in the IPO (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.175 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). 

 

5

 

 

All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) Subtopic 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require Class A Ordinary Shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants and Public Rights), the initial carrying value of Class A Ordinary Shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and other Options”. The Class A Ordinary Shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99. 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. While redemptions in connection with our initial business combination cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001, the Public Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.

 

Redemptions of the Company’s Public Shares may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including minimum cash conditions, pursuant to an agreement relating to the Company’s Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “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 applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other 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. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

 

The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “Initial Shareholder”) has agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

 

The Company initially had until 15 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 21 months if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination), as a result of the shareholders’ approval, the Company amended and restated its Charter to extend the date by which it has to complete a business combination to August 5, 2025, or up to 39 months from the IPO (the “Combination Period” as described below). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by August 5, 2025. 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 its franchise and income taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under British Virgin Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

 

On August 1, 2023, at its Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders (the “2023 EGM”), the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal to amend and restate the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”) to, among other things, allow the Company to extend the date by which it has to complete a business combination to August 5, 2024, or up to 27 months from its initial public offering. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the 2023 EGM, 18,003,605 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for $190,703,967. The Company filed the Charter amendment with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs at the British Virgin Islands on August 1, 2023.

 

On December 11, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq, stating that the Company’s listed securities failed to comply with the $50,000,000 market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) based upon the Company’s market value of listed securities for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the notice. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement entered by and between the Company and the Sponsor dated December 7, 2023, the Sponsor transferred and delivered to the Company 4,900,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company in exchange for 4,900,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). The 4,900,000 Class A Shares issued in connection with the Share Exchange are subject to the same restricted as applied to the Class B Shares before the Share Exchange, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for the Company’s initial public offering.

 

Immediately following the Share Exchange, there were 7,196,395 Class A ordinary shares and 100,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. The issuance of the 4,900,000 Class A ordinary shares has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereof.

 

On March 15, 2024, the Company received a letter (“Non-Compliance Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq stating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules on The Nasdaq Global Market due to the Company not having maintained a minimum of 400 public holders for continued listing, as required pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2). In accordance with the Nasdaq listing rules, the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. On April 29, 2024, the Company submitted a compliance plan. On May 1, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq accepting the Company’s compliance plan. The Company was given an extension of up to September 11, 2024 to regain compliance with Rule 5450(a)(2).

 

On July 23, 2024, at its Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders (the “2024 EGM”), the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to amend and restate the Company’s Charter to allow the Company to extend the date by which it has to complete a business combination to August 5, 2025, or up to 39 months from its initial public offering (the “Third Amended Charter”). The Company filed the Third Amended Charter with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs at the British Virgin Islands on July 23, 2024. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the 2024 EGM, 1,608,417 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for $18,165,082. Immediately after the redemption, there was approximately $4.38 million remaining in the Trust Account and Sponsor holds approximately 88.0% of the Company’s 5,687,978 outstanding ordinary shares.

On September 13, 2024, the Company received a letter (“Delisting Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq, which stated that the Company did not comply with the minimum 400 total shareholders requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, and had failed to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) during the extension period which ended on September 11, 2024.

 

On September 24, 2024, trading in the Company’s securities was suspended on Nasdaq. The Company’s Units, Class A Ordinary Shares, Warrants and Rights are now quoted on Over-the-Counter (OTC) markets under the symbols “ASUUF,” ASCBF,” “ASCWF” and “ASCRF,” respectively. 

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $72,752 and a working capital deficit of $168,214.

 

The Company has until August 5, 2025 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

 

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly held reporting company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (by August 5, 2025), the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such an additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that COVID-19 could have a negative effect on the Company’s search for a target company for a Business Combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Additionally, as a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related economic sanctions and the impact of armed conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip commenced in October 2023,  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. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they include all of the information and footnotes required by 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. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (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 an emerging growth 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 comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Held in Trust Account

 

The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities. These securities are presented on the balance sheet 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 unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in the Trust Account is determined using available market information.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $72,752 and $442,147 in cash as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

9

 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on this account.

 

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is 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) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $11.428 and $10.968 per share, respectively, as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero. 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

Warrant Instruments

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the instrument 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 warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instruments are outstanding. As discussed in Note 7, the Company determined that upon further review of the warrant agreement, management concluded that the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The unaudited condensed statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per redeemable share and income (loss) per non-redeemable share following the two-class method of income per share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the common shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

Income Taxes

 

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” (“ASC 740”) which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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. 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 September 30, 2024. The Company’s management determined that the British Virgin Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company is not currently 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 by the Government of the British Virgin Islands. In accordance with British Virgin Islands income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 mostly requires, on an annual basis, disclosure of specific categories in an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The incremental disclosures may be presented on a prospective or retrospective basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2023-09 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements. 

 

Note 3 – Initial Public Offering

 

Pursuant to the IPO on May 5, 2022, the Company sold 20,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share, one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”), and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A ordinary share at the closing of the Company’s Business Combination (“Public Right”).

 

All of the 20,000,000 Public Shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either 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 to 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. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Class A Ordinary share reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table.

Note 4 – Private Placement Warrants

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 8,966,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $8,966,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold in the IPO, except with respect to certain registration rights and transfer restrictions. The proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants and all underlying securities will expire worthless.

 

Note 5 – Related Party Transactions 

 

Founder Shares

 

On June 28, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B Ordinary Shares, with no par value (“Class B Ordinary Shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000. On March 24, 2022, the Company cancelled 431,250 of such Founder Shares for no consideration, resulting in 5,318,750 Founder Shares remaining outstanding (of which an aggregate of up to 693,750 shares are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part by the underwriter).

 

The Initial Shareholders have agreed to forfeit up to 693,750 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO. As a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of the over-allotment option on May 5, 2022, 318,750 shares of Class B ordinary share were forfeited for no consideration on May 6, 2022.

 

Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement entered by and between the Company and the Sponsor dated December 7, 2023, the Sponsor transferred and delivered to the Company 4,900,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company in exchange for 4,900,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). The 4,900,000 Class A Shares issued in connection with the Share Exchange are subject to the same restricted as applied to the Class B Shares before the Share Exchange, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for the Company’s initial public offering.

 

13

 

 

Immediately following the Share Exchange, there were 7,196,395 Class A ordinary shares and 100,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. The issuance of the 4,900,000 Class A ordinary shares has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereof.

 

Prior to the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Founder Shares will have the right to vote on the election of directors. Holders of the public shares will not be entitled to vote on the election of directors during such time. These provisions of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a resolution passed by holders of at least a majority of the ordinary shares who are eligible to vote and attend and vote in a general meeting of the shareholders. With respect to any other matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders, including any vote in connection with the initial Business Combination, except as required by law, holders of the Founder Shares and holders of the public shares will vote together as a single class, with each share entitling the holder to one vote.

 

The Initial Shareholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

  

Promissory Note - Related Party  

 

On July 8, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $400,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2022 or the completion of the IPO. The amount was subsequently repaid on May 10, 2022. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Note.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,150,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.

 

Note 6 – Commitments & Contingencies

 

Registration & Shareholder Rights

 

The holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Warrants, and any warrants that may be issued in payment of Working Capital Loans (and all underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founders Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these ordinary shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Placement Warrants and securities issued in payment of Working Capital Loans can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing on the date that the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the underwriter may not exercise its demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five (5) and seven (7) years, respectively, after the effective date of the IPO and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

 

The Company granted Maxim, the representative of the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 2,775,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On May 5, 2022, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option to purchase 1,500,000 Units, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $15,000,000.

 

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.169 per unit, or $ 3,380,000 (including the partial exercise of over-allotment option) upon the closing of the IPO. In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred commission of $0.35 per unit, or $7,000,000 (including the over-allotment of 1,500,000 units), which will be paid upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. 

 

Representative’s Class A Ordinary Shares

 

The Company issued to Maxim and/or its designees, 300,000 Class A ordinary shares including 22,500 shares as a result of partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option at the closing of the IPO.

 

The 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 commencement of sales in this offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not 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 effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their officers, partners, registered persons or affiliates.

 

The representative’s ordinary shares are measured at fair value upon the issue date. The Company used both Monte Carlo model and Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method that values the representative shares. Key inputs into the Monte Carlo model were (i) risk-free rate of 2.14%, (ii) volatility of 2.1%, (iii) estimated term of 1.10 years, resulting in the fair value of the 300,000 representative shares of approximately $2,202,589 or $7.34 per share.

 

Note 7–Shareholders’ Deficit

 

Ordinary shares

 

Preference shares—The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preference shares with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no shares of preference shares issued or outstanding.

 

Class A Ordinary shares—The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Class A Ordinary shares with no par value. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 5,200,000 shares of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding excluding 387,978 shares and 1,996,395 shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.

 

Class B Ordinary shares—The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Class B Ordinary shares with no par value. Holders of Class B Ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. On March 24, 2022, the Company cancelled 431,250 of such Founder Shares for no consideration, resulting in 5,318,750 Founder Shares remaining outstanding (of which an aggregate of up to 693,750 shares are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part by the underwriter). As a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of the over-allotment option on May 5, 2022, 318,750 shares of Class B Ordinary share were forfeited for no consideration on May 6, 2022.

 

On December 7, 2023, 4,900,000 Class B Ordinary shares were exchanged for 4,900,000 Class A Ordinary shares of the Company (the “Share Exchange”) pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement between the Company and the Sponsor. The 4,900,000 Class A ordinary shares issued in connection with the Share Exchange are subject to the same restricted as applied to the Class B ordinary shares before the Share Exchange, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for the Company’s initial public offering. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Sponsor holds approximately 68.1% of the Company’s then outstanding Class A Ordinary shares.

 

15

 

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 5,587,978 and 7,196,395 Class A Ordinary shares, and 100,000 and 100,000 Class B Ordinary shares, respectively, issued and outstanding. 

 

Holders of Class A Ordinary shares and Class B Ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law.

 

The Class B Ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Proposed Public Offering and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B Ordinary shares shall convert into Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A Ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20.0% of the sum of the total number of all Ordinary Shares outstanding upon the completion of the IPO (excluding the Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Sponsor) plus all Class A Ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination. Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their Class B Ordinary shares into an equal number of shares of Class A Ordinary shares, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time.

 

Warrants— Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Company will account for the Private Placement Warrants as equity instruments. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of the completion of a Business Combination and twelve months from the effective date of this registration statement. No warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Pubic Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. There were 9,999,989 Public Warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Redemption of warrants when the price per ordinary shares equals or exceeds $16.50.

 

Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

 

in whole and not in part;

 

  at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;

 

  upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, which the Company refers to as the “30-day redemption period”; and

 

  if, and only if, the last reported sale price (the “closing price”) of our ordinary shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “Description of Securities—Warrants—Public shareholders’ Warrants—Anti-Dilution Adjustments”) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

The Company will not redeem the Warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period.

 

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

 

16

 

 

The exercise price and number of Class A ordinary shares issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share splits, share capitalization, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like. However, the Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Class A ordinary shares at a price below their respective exercise prices. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the Warrants may expire worthless.

 

In addition, if the Company issues additional Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of ordinary shares (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the Newly Issued Price, and the $16.50 share redemption trigger price described below under “Description of Securities — Redeemable Warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 165% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

 

The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Proposed Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

 

Rights—Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a Public Right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of a Public Right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with a Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to its pre-business combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of a Business Combination, each holder of a Public Right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A ordinary share underlying each Public Right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of Public Rights in order to receive his, her or its additional Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of a Business Combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company). 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 Public Rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the Class A ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary shares basis.

 

The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of Public Rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the British Virgin Islands General Corporation Law. As a result, the holders of the Public Rights must hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive shares for all of the holders’ rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Rights, and the Public Rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the Public Rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, the rights may expire and become worthless. There were 20,000,000 Public Rights outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

  Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

  Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

  Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

  

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

The Company used several models (i.e., Monte Carlo, PWERM and Finnerty) to value the Representative Shares granted to Maxim. Key inputs into the Monte Carlo model were (i) risk-free rate of 2.14%, (ii) volatility of 2.1%, (iii) estimated term of 1.10 years, resulting in the fair value of the 300,000 representative shares being approximately $2,202,589 or $7.34 per share.

 

Note 9 – Subsequent Events

 

In accordance with ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”, the Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed financial statement was 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 statement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

References to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to A SPAC II Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

 

Overview

 

We are a blank check company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as a business 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 (“Business Combination”). We have not yet selected any specific Business Combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering (the “IPO”) and the private placement of the private placement warrants (the “Private Placement”), the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial Business Combination, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

 

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

 

Recent Developments

 

On July 23, 2024, at its extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders (the “2024 EGM”), the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to amend and restate the Company’s Charter to allow the Company to extend the date by which it has to complete a business combination to August 5, 2025, or up to 39 months from its initial public offering (the “Third Amended Charter”). The Company filed the Third Amended Charter with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs at the British Virgin Islands on July 23, 2024. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the EGM, 1,608,417 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for $18,165,082. Immediately after the redemption, there was approximately $4.38 million remaining in the Trust Account and Sponsor holds approximately 88.0% of the Company’s 5,687,978 outstanding ordinary shares.

 

On September 13, 2024, the Company received a letter (“Delisting Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq, which stated that the Company did not comply with the minimum 400 total shareholders requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, and had failed to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) during the extension period which ended on September 11, 2024.

 

On September 24, 2024, trading in the Company’s securities was suspended on Nasdaq. The securities are now quoted Over-the-Counter market. 

 

Results of Operations

 

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities from inception June 28, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2024 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for, and consummate, the IPO. Following our IPO, our only activities have been seeking a target business with which to complete a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenue until after the completion of our initial Business Combination.

 

19

 

 

We expect to continue to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. We expect that we will continue to incur 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 in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $64,743, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $195,662 , offset by interest income of $130,919. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net income of $215,882, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $497,763, offset by interest income $713,645.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net income of $997,013, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $291,401, offset by interest income of $1,288,414. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had a net income of $5,270,578, which consisted of general and administrative expenses of $713,350, offset by interest income $5,983,928.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 6, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”) which includes the partial exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share (“Ordinary Share”), one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Warrant”) entitling its holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per full share and one right (“Right”) to receive one-tenth of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the Private Placement with the Company’s Sponsor of 8,966,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $8,966,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the public warrants sold in the IPO, as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, except as described in the Warrant Agreement.

 

On May 5, 2022, a total of $203,500,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were deposited in a Trust Account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target business and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a Business Combination, the remaining funds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. 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 or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our Business Combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, cash used in operating activities was $369,395 and $531,706, respectively.

 

As of September 30, 2024, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $4,433,981 consisting of securities held in a treasury trust fund that invests in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through September 30, 2024, we did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account to pay our taxes. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable), to acquire a target business and to pay our expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our capital stock is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect a business combination, the remaining funds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. 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 or services. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our business combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

  

20

 

 

As of September 30, 2024, we had cash of $72,752 outside the Trust Account. Until consummation of the Business Combination, we intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

 

If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our business combination. In this event, our officers, directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we consummate an initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to us upon consummation of the business combination. In the event that a 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. The terms of such loans by our initial shareholders, officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

 

Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $72,752 and working capital deficit of $168,214. Pursuant to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Company has until August 5, 2025 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination within this time period (the “Combination Period”). If a Business Combination is not consummated within the Combination Period, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

 

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a business combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The management’s plan in addressing this uncertainty is through the Working Capital Loans (see Note 5). In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a business combination within the Combination Period (by August 5, 2025), the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a business combination will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such an additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

 

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2024. 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.

  

Contractual Obligations

 

As of September 30, 2024, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than described below:

 

Registration Rights

 

The holders of Founder Shares, private placement warrants, shares being issued to the underwriters and warrants that may be issued on conversion of working capital loans (and in each case holders of their component securities, as applicable) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement that required the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to our Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $7,000,000 (i.e., 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO and over-allotment). The deferred fee will be payable in cash to the underwriters solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

 

Representative’s Ordinary Shares

 

The Company issued to the underwriters and/or its designees, 300,000 Class A ordinary shares including 22,500 ordinary shares as a result of partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option at the closing of the IPO.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

We prepare our unaudited condensed financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the unaudited condensed financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 mostly requires, on an annual basis, disclosure of specific categories in an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The incremental disclosures may be presented on a prospective or retrospective basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2023-09 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, 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

 

As smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.

 

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 current chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, pursuant to Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation and the fact that management’s report on internal control over financial reporting was inadvertently omitted from Item 9A of the Original Form 10-K, our Certifying Officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

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.

 

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.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We may be subject to legal proceedings, investigations and claims or other contingencies incidental to the conduct of our business from time to time. We are not currently a party to any material litigation or other legal proceedings brought against us. We are not aware of any legal proceeding, investigation or claim, or other legal exposure that has a more than remote possibility of having a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item. However, in addition to the risk factors disclosed in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on May 3, 2022 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has identified the below-listed additional risk factors.

 

On September 24, 2024, trading in the Company’s securities was suspended on Nasdaq and our securities are now quoted over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. This could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

 

On September 13, 2024, the Company received a letter (“Delisting Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq, which stated that the Company did not comply with the minimum 400 total shareholders requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, and had failed to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) during the extension period which ended on September 11, 2024.

 

On September 24, 2024, trading in the Company’s securities was suspended on Nasdaq. 

 

Our securities are currently quoted on the over-the-counter market. As a result, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

  a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
     
  reduced liquidity for our securities;
     
  a determination that our Class A ordinary shares is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our Class A ordinary shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
     
  a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
     
  a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

 

Currently our securities are not eligible for proprietary broker-dealer quotations. All quotes will reflect unsolicited customer orders and, as a result, we expect any trading to involve a higher risk of wider spreads, increased volatility, and price dislocations and a general illiquid trading environment. Proprietary broker-dealer quotations may not commence until an initial review by a broker-dealer under the SEC’s Rule 15c2-11 which would enable brokers to publish competing quotes and provide continuous market making. No assurance can be provided that a liquid trading market will develop even if market makers begin proprietary quotations and thus we expect investors will experience difficulty in trading our securities.

 

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because they have been delisted, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities. This state level regulation introduces additional compliance requirements for brokers to consider making markets in our securities and will further negatively impact any trading liquidity in our securities. Federal statute allows the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, the states can regulate or bar the sale of securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, other than the State of Idaho, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Since our securities are no longer listed on the Nasdaq, our securities are not covered securities and we are subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities, including in connection with our initial business combination if our securities are not listed on an exchange prior to an initial business combination.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

 

The registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) for our IPO was declared effective on May 2, 2022. As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 6, 2022, on May 5, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 Units which includes the partial exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Each Unit consists of one Ordinary Share, one-half of one redeemable Warrant entitling its holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per full share and one Right to receive one-tenth of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000.

 

As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 6, 2022, on May 5, 2022, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the Private Placement with the Company’s Sponsor of 8,966,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $8,966,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the public warrants sold in the IPO, as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement, except as described in the Warrant Agreement.

 

As of May 5, 2022, a total of $203,500,000 ($10.175 per Unit) of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement were deposited in a Trust Account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and held as cash or invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

 

We paid a total of approximately $3,380,000 in underwriting fees and commissions (not including the 3.5% deferred underwriting commission payable at the consummation of the initial Business Combination) and approximately $567,629 for other costs and expenses related to our formation and the IPO.

 

Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement between the Company and the Sponsor dated December 7, 2023, the Sponsor has transferred and delivered to the Company 4,900,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company in exchange for 4,900,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). The issuance of the 4,900,000 Class A ordinary shares has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereof.

Description of Organization and Business Operation [Abstract]  
Description of Organization and Business Operation

Note 1 – Description of Organization and Business Operation

 

A SPAC II Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on June 28, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination.

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activities from June 28, 2021 (inception) through September 30, 2024, are related to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“IPO”) and its search of a Business Combination target as described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO (as defined below). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

 

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO became effective on May 2, 2022. On May 5, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 20,000,000 units (the “Units”), which includes the partial exercise of the over-allotment option of 1,500,000 Units granted to the underwriters. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with A SPAC II (Holdings) Corp., the Company’s sponsor, of 8,966,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating total proceeds of $8,966,000.

 

Transaction costs amounted to $13,150,218, consisting of $3,380,000 of underwriting fees, $7,000,000 of deferred underwriting fees (payable only upon completion of a Business Combination), $567,629 of other offering costs and $2,202,589 fair value of the 300,000 representative shares considered as part of the transaction costs.

 

The Company also issued 300,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares (the “Representative Shares”) to Maxim Group LLC, (“Maxim”), the representative of the underwriters, as part of representative compensation, the fair value of which is $2,202,589. The Representative Shares are identical to the public shares except that Maxim has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such representative shares until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Representative Shares are deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the commencement of sales in this offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). In addition, the representatives have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account (as defined below) with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within 15 months of the closing of the IPO (or 21 months, if the Company extends the time to complete a Business Combination). 

 

Upon the closing of the IPO on May 5, 2022, $203,500,000 ($10.175 per Unit) from the net offering proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and a portion of the sale of the Private Placement was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) maintained by Continental Stock Transfer& Trust as a trustee and will be invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

 

The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares sold with the Units (the “Public Shares”) sold in the IPO (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.175 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). 

 

All of the Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) Subtopic 10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of a company require Class A Ordinary Shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Given that the Public Shares will be issued with other freestanding instruments (i.e., Public Warrants and Public Rights), the initial carrying value of Class A Ordinary Shares classified as temporary equity will be the allocated proceeds determined in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and other Options”. The Class A Ordinary Shares are subject to ASC 480-10-S99. 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. While redemptions in connection with our initial business combination cannot cause the Company’s net tangible assets to fall below $5,000,001, the Public Shares are redeemable and will be classified as such on the balance sheet until such date that a redemption event takes place.

 

Redemptions of the Company’s Public Shares may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions, including minimum cash conditions, pursuant to an agreement relating to the Company’s Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities Exchange Commission (the “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 applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other 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. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.

 

The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “Initial Shareholder”) has agreed not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

 

The Company initially had until 15 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 21 months if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination), as a result of the shareholders’ approval, the Company amended and restated its Charter to extend the date by which it has to complete a business combination to August 5, 2025, or up to 39 months from the IPO (the “Combination Period” as described below). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by August 5, 2025. 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 its franchise and income taxes (less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under British Virgin Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. 

 

The Initial Shareholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Shareholders should acquire Public Shares in or after the IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

 

On August 1, 2023, at its Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders (the “2023 EGM”), the Company’s shareholders approved a proposal to amend and restate the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”) to, among other things, allow the Company to extend the date by which it has to complete a business combination to August 5, 2024, or up to 27 months from its initial public offering. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the 2023 EGM, 18,003,605 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for $190,703,967. The Company filed the Charter amendment with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs at the British Virgin Islands on August 1, 2023.

 

On December 11, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq, stating that the Company’s listed securities failed to comply with the $50,000,000 market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) based upon the Company’s market value of listed securities for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the notice. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement entered by and between the Company and the Sponsor dated December 7, 2023, the Sponsor transferred and delivered to the Company 4,900,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company in exchange for 4,900,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). The 4,900,000 Class A Shares issued in connection with the Share Exchange are subject to the same restricted as applied to the Class B Shares before the Share Exchange, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for the Company’s initial public offering.

 

Immediately following the Share Exchange, there were 7,196,395 Class A ordinary shares and 100,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. The issuance of the 4,900,000 Class A ordinary shares has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereof.

 

On March 15, 2024, the Company received a letter (“Non-Compliance Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq stating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules on The Nasdaq Global Market due to the Company not having maintained a minimum of 400 public holders for continued listing, as required pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2). In accordance with the Nasdaq listing rules, the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. On April 29, 2024, the Company submitted a compliance plan. On May 1, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq accepting the Company’s compliance plan. The Company was given an extension of up to September 11, 2024 to regain compliance with Rule 5450(a)(2).

 

On July 23, 2024, at its Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders (the “2024 EGM”), the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to amend and restate the Company’s Charter to allow the Company to extend the date by which it has to complete a business combination to August 5, 2025, or up to 39 months from its initial public offering (the “Third Amended Charter”). The Company filed the Third Amended Charter with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs at the British Virgin Islands on July 23, 2024. In connection with the shareholders’ vote at the 2024 EGM, 1,608,417 Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for $18,165,082. Immediately after the redemption, there was approximately $4.38 million remaining in the Trust Account and Sponsor holds approximately 88.0% of the Company’s 5,687,978 outstanding ordinary shares.

 

On September 13, 2024, the Company received a letter (“Delisting Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq, which stated that the Company did not comply with the minimum 400 total shareholders requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, and had failed to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) during the extension period which ended on September 11, 2024.

 

On September 24, 2024, trading in the Company’s securities was suspended on Nasdaq. The Company’s Units, Class A Ordinary Shares, Warrants and Rights are now quoted on Over-the-Counter (OTC) markets under the symbols “ASUUF,” ASCBF,” “ASCWF” and “ASCRF,” respectively. 

 

Going Concern Consideration

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $72,752 and a working capital deficit of $168,214.

 

The Company has until August 5, 2025 to consummate a Business Combination. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

 

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly held reporting company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. The Company may need to obtain additional financing either to complete its Business Combination or because it becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of public shares upon consummation of its Business Combination, in which case, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Company may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (by August 5, 2025), the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such an additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that COVID-19 could have a negative effect on the Company’s search for a target company for a Business Combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Additionally, as a result of the military action commenced in February 2022 by the Russian Federation and Belarus in the country of Ukraine and related economic sanctions and the impact of armed conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip commenced in October 2023,  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. In addition, the Company’s ability to consummate a transaction may be dependent on the ability to raise equity and debt financing which may be impacted by these events, including as a result of increased market volatility, or decreased market liquidity in third-party financing being unavailable on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and/or ability to consummate a Business Combination are not yet determinable. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they include all of the information and footnotes required by 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. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (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 an emerging growth 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 comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. 

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Held in Trust Account

 

The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities. These securities are presented on the balance sheet 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 unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in the Trust Account is determined using available market information.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $72,752 and $442,147 in cash as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on this account.

 

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

 

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is 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) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $11.428 and $10.968 per share, respectively, as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero. 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

 

Warrant Instruments

 

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the instrument 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 warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instruments are outstanding. As discussed in Note 7, the Company determined that upon further review of the warrant agreement, management concluded that the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The unaudited condensed statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per redeemable share and income (loss) per non-redeemable share following the two-class method of income per share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the common shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

 

The net income (loss) per share presented in the unaudited condensed statement of operations is based on the following:

Income Taxes

 

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” (“ASC 740”) which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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. 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 September 30, 2024. The Company’s management determined that the British Virgin Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company is not currently 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 by the Government of the British Virgin Islands. In accordance with British Virgin Islands income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 mostly requires, on an annual basis, disclosure of specific categories in an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The incremental disclosures may be presented on a prospective or retrospective basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2023-09 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.

Initial Public Offering

Note 3 – Initial Public Offering

 

Pursuant to the IPO on May 5, 2022, the Company sold 20,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A Ordinary Share, one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”), and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A ordinary share at the closing of the Company’s Business Combination (“Public Right”).

 

All of the 20,000,000 Public Shares sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation. In accordance with the SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either 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 to 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. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Class A Ordinary share reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table.

Note 4 – Private Placement Warrants

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 8,966,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $8,966,000. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants sold in the IPO, except with respect to certain registration rights and transfer restrictions. The proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law), and the Private Placement Warrants and all underlying securities will expire worthless.

Founder Shares

 

On June 28, 2021, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B Ordinary Shares, with no par value (“Class B Ordinary Shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000. On March 24, 2022, the Company cancelled 431,250 of such Founder Shares for no consideration, resulting in 5,318,750 Founder Shares remaining outstanding (of which an aggregate of up to 693,750 shares are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part by the underwriter).

 

The Initial Shareholders have agreed to forfeit up to 693,750 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the IPO. As a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of the over-allotment option on May 5, 2022, 318,750 shares of Class B ordinary share were forfeited for no consideration on May 6, 2022.

 

Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement entered by and between the Company and the Sponsor dated December 7, 2023, the Sponsor transferred and delivered to the Company 4,900,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company in exchange for 4,900,000 Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “Share Exchange”). The 4,900,000 Class A Shares issued in connection with the Share Exchange are subject to the same restricted as applied to the Class B Shares before the Share Exchange, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for the Company’s initial public offering.

 

Immediately following the Share Exchange, there were 7,196,395 Class A ordinary shares and 100,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. The issuance of the 4,900,000 Class A ordinary shares has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereof.

 

Prior to the initial Business Combination, only holders of the Founder Shares will have the right to vote on the election of directors. Holders of the public shares will not be entitled to vote on the election of directors during such time. These provisions of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a resolution passed by holders of at least a majority of the ordinary shares who are eligible to vote and attend and vote in a general meeting of the shareholders. With respect to any other matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders, including any vote in connection with the initial Business Combination, except as required by law, holders of the Founder Shares and holders of the public shares will vote together as a single class, with each share entitling the holder to one vote.

 

The Initial Shareholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

  

Promissory Note - Related Party  

 

On July 8, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $400,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2022 or the completion of the IPO. The amount was subsequently repaid on May 10, 2022. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Note.

 

Working Capital Loans

 

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,150,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.

Registration & Shareholder Rights

 

The holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Warrants, and any warrants that may be issued in payment of Working Capital Loans (and all underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founders Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these ordinary shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the Private Placement Warrants and securities issued in payment of Working Capital Loans can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing on the date that the Company consummates a Business Combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the underwriter may not exercise its demand and “piggyback” registration rights after five (5) and seven (7) years, respectively, after the effective date of the IPO and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The Company granted Maxim, the representative of the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to 2,775,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On May 5, 2022, simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option to purchase 1,500,000 Units, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $15,000,000.

 

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.169 per unit, or $ 3,380,000 (including the partial exercise of over-allotment option) upon the closing of the IPO. In addition, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred commission of $0.35 per unit, or $7,000,000 (including the over-allotment of 1,500,000 units), which will be paid upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. 

 

Representative’s Class A Ordinary Shares

 

The Company issued to Maxim and/or its designees, 300,000 Class A ordinary shares including 22,500 shares as a result of partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option at the closing of the IPO.

 

The 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 commencement of sales in this offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), these securities will not 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 effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, nor may they be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in the offering and their officers, partners, registered persons or affiliates.

 

The representative’s ordinary shares are measured at fair value upon the issue date. The Company used both Monte Carlo model and Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method that values the representative shares. Key inputs into the Monte Carlo model were (i) risk-free rate of 2.14%, (ii) volatility of 2.1%, (iii) estimated term of 1.10 years, resulting in the fair value of the 300,000 representative shares of approximately $2,202,589 or $7.34 per share.

Ordinary shares

 

Preference shares—The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preference shares with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no shares of preference shares issued or outstanding.

 

Class A Ordinary shares—The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Class A Ordinary shares with no par value. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 5,200,000 shares of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding excluding 387,978 shares and 1,996,395 shares subject to possible redemption, respectively.

 

Class B Ordinary shares—The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Class B Ordinary shares with no par value. Holders of Class B Ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. On March 24, 2022, the Company cancelled 431,250 of such Founder Shares for no consideration, resulting in 5,318,750 Founder Shares remaining outstanding (of which an aggregate of up to 693,750 shares are subject to forfeiture if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part by the underwriter). As a result of the underwriter’s partial exercise of the over-allotment option on May 5, 2022, 318,750 shares of Class B Ordinary share were forfeited for no consideration on May 6, 2022.

 

On December 7, 2023, 4,900,000 Class B Ordinary shares were exchanged for 4,900,000 Class A Ordinary shares of the Company (the “Share Exchange”) pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement between the Company and the Sponsor. The 4,900,000 Class A ordinary shares issued in connection with the Share Exchange are subject to the same restricted as applied to the Class B ordinary shares before the Share Exchange, including, among other things, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of an initial business combination as described in the prospectus for the Company’s initial public offering. As a result of the Share Exchange, the Sponsor holds approximately 68.1% of the Company’s then outstanding Class A Ordinary shares.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 5,587,978 and 7,196,395 Class A Ordinary shares, and 100,000 and 100,000 Class B Ordinary shares, respectively, issued and outstanding. 

 

Holders of Class A Ordinary shares and Class B Ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of stockholders except as required by law.

 

The Class B Ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary shares at the time of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Proposed Public Offering and related to the closing of the initial Business Combination, the ratio at which Class B Ordinary shares shall convert into Class A Ordinary Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding Class B Ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A Ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Ordinary shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20.0% of the sum of the total number of all Ordinary Shares outstanding upon the completion of the IPO (excluding the Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Sponsor) plus all Class A Ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination. Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their Class B Ordinary shares into an equal number of shares of Class A Ordinary shares, subject to adjustment as provided above, at any time.

 

Warrants— Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Company will account for the Private Placement Warrants as equity instruments. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of the completion of a Business Combination and twelve months from the effective date of this registration statement. No warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such ordinary shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within a specified period following the consummation of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Pubic Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, provided that such exemption is available. If that exemption, or another exemption, is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. There were 9,999,989 Public Warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Redemption of warrants when the price per ordinary shares equals or exceeds $16.50.

 

Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

 

in whole and not in part;

 

  at a price of $0.01 per Warrant;

 

  upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, which the Company refers to as the “30-day redemption period”; and

 

  if, and only if, the last reported sale price (the “closing price”) of our ordinary shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “Description of Securities—Warrants—Public shareholders’ Warrants—Anti-Dilution Adjustments”) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

The Company will not redeem the Warrants as described above unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those ordinary shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period.

 

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

 

The exercise price and number of Class A ordinary shares issuable on exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share splits, share capitalization, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like. However, the Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of Class A ordinary shares at a price below their respective exercise prices. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the Warrants may expire worthless.

 

In addition, if the Company issues additional Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of a Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of ordinary shares (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors, and in the case of any such issuance to the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by them prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of a Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Market Value or (ii) the Newly Issued Price, and the $16.50 share redemption trigger price described below under “Description of Securities — Redeemable Warrants” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 165% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price.

 

The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Proposed Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions.

 

Rights—Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a Business Combination, each holder of a Public Right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A ordinary share upon consummation of a Business Combination, even if the holder of a Public Right converted all shares held by him, her or it in connection with a Business Combination or an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with respect to its pre-business combination activities. In the event that the Company will not be the surviving company upon completion of a Business Combination, each holder of a Public Right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A ordinary share underlying each Public Right upon consummation of the Business Combination. No additional consideration will be required to be paid by a holder of Public Rights in order to receive his, her or its additional Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of a Business Combination. The shares issuable upon exchange of the rights will be freely tradable (except to the extent held by affiliates of the Company). 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 Public Rights to receive the same per share consideration the holders of the Class A ordinary shares will receive in the transaction on an as-converted into ordinary shares basis.

 

The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of Public Rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the British Virgin Islands General Corporation Law. As a result, the holders of the Public Rights must hold rights in multiples of 10 in order to receive shares for all of the holders’ rights upon closing of a Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Rights, and the Public Rights will expire worthless. Further, there are no contractual penalties for failure to deliver securities to the holders of the Public Rights upon consummation of a Business Combination. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. Accordingly, the rights may expire and become worthless. There were 20,000,000 Public Rights outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Fair Value Measurements

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

 

  Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

  Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

  Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

  

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

The Company used several models (i.e., Monte Carlo, PWERM and Finnerty) to value the Representative Shares granted to Maxim. Key inputs into the Monte Carlo model were (i) risk-free rate of 2.14%, (ii) volatility of 2.1%, (iii) estimated term of 1.10 years, resulting in the fair value of the 300,000 representative shares being approximately $2,202,589 or $7.34 per share.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they include all of the information and footnotes required by 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. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.

Emerging Growth Company

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (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 an emerging growth 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 comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Held in Trust Account

Investment Held in Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities. These securities are presented on the balance sheet 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 unaudited condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in the Trust Account is determined using available market information.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $72,752 and $442,147 in cash as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has not experienced losses on this account.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is 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) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $11.428 and $10.968 per share, respectively, as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Warrant Instruments

Warrant Instruments

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the instrument 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 warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instruments are outstanding. As discussed in Note 7, the Company determined that upon further review of the warrant agreement, management concluded that the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and Private Placement Warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The unaudited condensed statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per redeemable share and income (loss) per non-redeemable share following the two-class method of income per share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the common shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share for the period presented.

 

The net income (loss) per share presented in the unaudited condensed statement of operations is based on the following:

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” (“ASC 740”) which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions 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. 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 September 30, 2024. The Company’s management determined that the British Virgin Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company is not currently 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 by the Government of the British Virgin Islands. In accordance with British Virgin Islands income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 mostly requires, on an annual basis, disclosure of specific categories in an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The incremental disclosures may be presented on a prospective or retrospective basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2023-09 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements.
