NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1.

DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

Rigel Resource Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April 6, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock 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. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

The Company formed RRAC NewCo which was incorporated in the Cayman Islands with Limited Liability as an Exempted Company, with effect from February 8, 2024. RRAC NewCo changed its name to Aurous Resources on May 27, 2024 as certified by the Registrar of the Companies. The Company owns no material assets and does not operate any business. Aurous Resources is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and was formed for the purpose of becoming the ultimate parent company of Blyvoor Gold Resources Proprietary Limited, a South African private limited liability company (“Aurous Gold”) and Blyvoor Gold Operations Proprietary Limited, a South African private limited liability company (“Gauta Tailings”) following the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement dated March 11, 2024 entered into by and among Rigel, Aurous Gold, Gauta Tailings, Aurous Resources, and RRAC Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Aurous Resources (“Merger Sub”). Merger Sub was incorporated on February 28, 2024 to facilitate the consummation of the Business Combination Agreement. There are no other activities in the subsidiaries of the Company.

In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, and as per the terms and subject to the conditions therein, among other things, (i) Rigel will merge with and into the Merger Sub (the ‘Merger’), with Merger Sub being the surviving company, and (ii) Aurous Resources will acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Aurous Gold and Gauta Tailings (the ‘Share Exchange’). Following the Merger and the Share Exchange, each of Aurous Gold, Gauta Tailings and Merger Sub will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Aurous Resources, and Aurous Resources will become a publicly traded company.

All activity for the period from April 6, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2025 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, the search for a target company and costs for the current contemplated merger with Blyvoor. 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 from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

On November 9, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 27,500,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units which were offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $275,000,000, which is described in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of an aggregate of 14,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) - 11,300,000 to Rigel Resource Acquisition Holding LLC (the “Sponsor”), 100,000 to Nathanael Abebe, 35,000 to Christine Coignard, 25,000 to Kelvin Dushnisky, 200,000 to L. Peter O’Hagan and 2,340,000 to Orion Mine Finance GP III LP (“Orion GP”) - at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company in the amount of $14,000,000, which is described in Note 4.

On November 9, 2021, the underwriter purchased an additional 2,500,000 Units pursuant to a partial exercise of the over-allotment option. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $25,000,000. Since the underwriter did not exercise the remainder of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor forfeited 406,250 Founder Shares upon the expiration of the over-allotment option in December 2021. The Sponsor transferred 1,170,000 Founder Shares to Orion GP (an affiliate of the Sponsor) at the time of the initial closing, in connection with the purchase of private placement warrants by Orion GP.

As of November 9, 2021, transaction costs amounted to $17,585,547 consisting of $6,000,000 of underwriting fees in cash, $10,500,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held in a trust account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”)) and $1,085,547 of costs related to the Initial Public Offering. Cash of $59,865 was held outside of the Trust Account on June 30, 2025 and was available for working capital purposes.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on November 9, 2021, an amount of $306,000,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement was placed in Trust Account which may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (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 Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below. On May 8, 2023, the Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $3,000,000 into the Company’s trust account for the Company’s public shareholders, representing $0.10 per public share, which enabled the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by three months, from May 9, 2023 to August 9, 2023. On August 10, 2023, the Company instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.

On November 4, 2024, the Company received a notice from the NYSE stating that the staff of NYSE Regulation has determined to delist the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, Units and Public Warrants pursuant to Sections 102.06e and 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual because the Company failed to consummate a business combination within 36 months of its initial public offering, resulting in the NYSE delisting the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares, Units and Public Warrants on November 5, 2024. On December 12, 2024, the Class A Ordinary Shares began trading on OTC Markets (OTCQX) under the symbol “RRACF.” The Units and Public Warrants are quoted over-the-counter under the symbols “RRAUF” and “RRAWF,” respectively.

In connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting held on August 7, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter”) to extend the date by which the Company must either consummate an initial Business Combination or (i) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial Business Combination and (ii) redeem all of the Class A ordinary shares (the “Public Shares”) included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering, from August 9, 2023 to August 9, 2024 (the “Extension Amendment”). In connection with the Extension Amendment, the holders of 5,429,967 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.73 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $58,279,780, leaving approximately $263,710,000 in the Company’s trust account.

On December 28, 2023, the Company amended and restated: (i) that the First Extension Loan and (ii) the Second Extension Loan (together with the First Extension Loan, the “Amended and Restated Extension Loans”) to add Orion GP, an affiliate of the Sponsor, as a payee (together with the Sponsor, the “Payees”). The Amended and Restated Extension Loans will be repayable by the Company to the Payees on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the principal balance each Payee has advanced under the Amended and Restated Extension Loans. The Amended and Restated Extension Loans do not otherwise materially modify the terms of the First Extension Loan and the Second Extension Loan and are effective as of May 8, 2023 and August 9, 2023, respectively.

In connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting held on August 9, 2024 (the “2024 Special Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution to amend the Company’s Charter to extend the date by which the Company must either (1) consummate an initial Business Combination or (2) (i) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial Business Combination, and (ii) redeem all of the Public Shares, from August 9, 2024 to May 9, 2025 (the “2024 Extension Amendment”). In connection with the 2024 Extension Amendment, the holders of 17,440,475 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.40 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $198,881,065, leaving approximately $81,301,345 in the Company’s trust account.

Pursuant to the Convertible Promissory Note dated as of August 9, 2023 (the “Second Extension Loan”), the Sponsor has agreed that it will contribute to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “Contribution”) the lesser of (A) $0.03 for each Public Share (as defined below) that was not redeemed in connection with the Special Meeting (as defined below) and (B) $350,000, for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve an initial Business Combination and (ii) August 9, 2024. The maximum aggregate amount of all Contributions will not exceed $4,200,000, and the Contributions will be deposited into the Company’s trust account. Up to $1,500,000 of the Contributions can be settled in whole warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per warrant. The Contributions will not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon the earlier of the date by which the Company must complete an initial Business Combination and the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The maturity date of the Second Extension Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Any outstanding principal under the Second Extension Loan may be prepaid at any time by the Company, at its election and without penalty. On August 9, 2023, August 31, 2023, September 29, 2023, October 31, 2023, November 30, 2023, December 29, 2023, January 31, 2024, February 29, 2024, March 29, 2024, April 30, 2024, May 30, 2024, June 26, 2024 and July 31, 2024 the Sponsor made contributions of approximately $248,387, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000 and $101,613 respectively, to the Trust Account under the Second Extension Loan. See Note 5 for more information.

Pursuant to the Convertible Promissory Note dated as of August 12, 2024 (the “Third Extension Loan”), the Sponsor and Orion GP have agreed that they will contribute to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “Third Extension Loan Contribution”) of $0.02 for each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2024 Special Meeting for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with the shareholder vote to approve an initial Business Combination and (ii) May 9, 2025. The Third Extension Loan Contributions will be deposited into the Company’s trust account. Loans under the Third Extension Loan can be settled in whole warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per warrant. The Third Extension Loan will not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company upon the earlier of the date by which the Company must complete an initial Business Combination and the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The maturity date of the Third Extension Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Any outstanding principal under the Third Extension Loan may be prepaid at any time by the Company, at its election and without penalty. On August 13, 2024, September 9, 2024, October 8, 2024, November 8, 2024 and December 8, 2024, January 9, 2025, February 7, 2025, March 7, 2025, and April 9, 2025 the Sponsor and Orion GP made aggregate contributions of approximately $142,591, $142,591, $142,591, $142,591, $142,591, $142,591, $142,591, $142,591 and $142,591, respectively, to the Trust Account under the Third Extension Loan.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the value of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined above) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions). The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer in connection with the Business Combination. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval for 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 $10.20 per Public Share, and such amount will be increased in the case of extensions of the Company’s time to consummate our initial Business Combination, as described herein, plus any pro rata interest then in the Trust Account). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Public Shares subject to redemption will be recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

If the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the Company, or such other vote as required by law or stock exchange rule. If a shareholder vote is not required and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. 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 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering 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 a proposed 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of the Business Combination and the Company does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent.

The holders of the Founder Shares have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon approval of any such amendment.

If the Company has not completed a Business Combination by August 9, 2025 (the “Combination Period”), 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 100% of 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 (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The holders of the Founder Shares have agreed to waive the rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares they will receive if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or any of its respective affiliates acquire Public Shares, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriter has agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, and in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.20, or higher in case extensions of the time period to complete the Company’s initial Business Combination have been effectuated).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) 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 to below the lesser of (1) $10.20 per Public Share following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, $10.30 per public share after 18 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or $10.40 per public share after 21 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, as applicable; and (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per Public Share, due to reductions in the value of trust assets. This liability will not apply to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriter of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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 (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), 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.

Extraordinary General Meeting

In connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting held on May 8, 2025 (the “May 2025 Special Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution to amend the Charter to extend the date by which the Company must either consummate an initial Business Combination or (i) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial Business Combination and (ii) redeem all of the Public Shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering, from May 9, 2025 to August 9, 2025 (the “May 2025 Extension Amendment”). In connection with the May 2025 Extension Amendment, the holders of 4,489,188 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.90 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $53,413,646, leaving approximately $31,415,879 in the Company’s trust account.

On May 13, 2025 the Company, the Sponsor and Orion GP entered into a promissory note dated as of May 13, 2025 (the “Fourth Extension Loan”), where the Sponsor and Orion GP have agreed that they will contribute to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “Fourth Extension Loan Contribution”) in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $60,000 and (y) $0.03 for each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2025 Special Meeting for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until August 9, 2025. The Fourth Extension Loan Contributions will be deposited into the Company’s trust account. The Fourth Extension Loan will not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company upon the earlier of the date by which the Company must complete an initial Business Combination and the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The maturity date of the Fourth Extension Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Any outstanding principal under the Fourth Extension Loan may be prepaid at any time by the Company, at its election and without penalty. On May 14, 2025 and June 10, 2025, the Sponsor and Orion GP made aggregate contributions of approximately $60,000 and $60,000, respectively, to the trust account under the Fourth Extension Loan.

In connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting held on August 8, 2025 (the “August 2025 Special Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution to amend the Charter to extend the date by which the Company must either consummate an initial Business Combination or (i) cease its operations, except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete an initial Business Combination and (ii) redeem all of the Public Shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering, from August 9, 2025 to November 9, 2025 (the “August 2025 Extension Amendment”). In connection with the August 2025 Extension Amendment, the holders of 1,114,441 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $12.07 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $13,449,620.23, leaving approximately $18,415,659 in the Company’s trust account.

On August 13, 2025, the Company entered into a Promissory Note (the “Fifth Extension Loan”) with the Sponsor and Orion GP. Pursuant to the Fifth Extension Loan, the Sponsor and Orion GP have agreed that they will contribute to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “Contribution”) in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $55,000 and (y) $0.02 for each Public Share (as defined below) that was not redeemed in connection with the August 2025 Special Meeting, for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the closing of the Business Combination and (ii) November 9, 2025. The Contributions will be deposited into the Company’s Trust Account. The Fifth Extension Loan will not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company upon the earlier of the date by which the Company must complete an initial Business Combination and the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The maturity date of the Extension Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Any outstanding principal under the Fifth Extension Loan may be prepaid at any time by the Company, at its election and without penalty.

Going Concern Considerations

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $59,865 and working capital deficit of $20,413,687.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In addition, the Company currently has less than 12 months from the date these consolidated financial statements were issued to complete a Business Combination transaction. If the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial Business Combination by November 9, 2025, per the mandatory liquidation requirement, the Company must cease all operations, redeem the Public Shares and thereafter liquidate and dissolve. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company does not have adequate liquidity to sustain operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the invasion by Russia of Ukraine and any further escalation of hostilities related thereto, terrorist attacks, natural disasters or significant outbreaks of infectious diseases on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that such events could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for and consummation of a business combination with a target company, the specific impacts are not readily determinable as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of the related parties convertible notes and the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates. Although the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the time the estimates and assumptions were made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Investments held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $31.7 million in cash held in the Trust Account. At December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $83.3 million in treasury securities held in the Trust Account. On August 10, 2023, the Company instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. On October 5, 2023, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”) entered into an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2021, between the Company and CST, in connection with CST holding the funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit bank account.

Offering Costs associated with Initial Public Offering

The Company complies with the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Upon completion of the Initial Public Offering, offering costs associated with warrant liabilities for the public warrants and the Private Placement Warrants, the over-allotment and the Forward Purchase Agreement were expensed as incurred and presented as non-operating expenses in the statement of operations and other offering costs associated with the Class A Ordinary Shares were recorded to temporary equity.

Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in the amount of approximately $31.7 million and $83.3 million are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets, respectively.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized a remeasurement adjustment from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of the redeemable Class A ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

Net income (loss) per ordinary share

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Earnings are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, (ii) Private Placement and (iii) embedded conversion feature of the related parties convertible promissory notes, since the strike prices of these instruments are out of the money. As a result, diluted earnings per ordinary share is the same as basic earnings per ordinary share for the periods presented. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 15,000,000 Class A ordinary shares in the aggregate.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):


	For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025			For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Class A ordinary shares
Numerator: loss allocable to Class A ordinary shares	$	(3,047,123	)	$	(955,556	)

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share, Class B ordinary share	$	0.06	$	(0.13	)

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. 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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company is currently not 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 on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under Cayman Islands regulations, the Company is not subject to tax on shareholder redemptions.

Convertible Promissory Notes

The Company accounts for their convertible promissory notes under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Under ASC 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825. The Company has made such election for their convertible promissory notes. Using the fair value option, the convertible promissory notes are required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the notes are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as of the closing date of the Initial Public Offering (November 9, 2021) and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The Company has determined the public warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Forward Purchase Agreement are derivative instruments. As the public warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Forward Purchase Agreement meet the definition of a derivative, the public warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement are measured at fair value at issuance and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations in the period of change.

Warrant Instruments

The Company accounts for the public warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Forward Purchase Agreement issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision, the public warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Forward Purchase Agreement do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrant instruments and the forward purchase as liabilities at fair value and adjust the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. These liabilities will be re-measured at each balance sheet date until the public warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Forward Purchase Agreement are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. The fair value of the public warrants and the Private Placement Warrants were estimated at issuance using the Monte Carlo simulation model and the modified Black-Scholes model, respectively. The Forward Purchase Agreement was valued using a valuation model that factors in certain assumptions such as the probability of Business Combination, risk free rate and expected period until Business Combination. The valuation models utilize inputs and other assumptions and may not be reflective of the price at which they can be settled. Such warrant classification is also subject to re-evaluation at each reporting period. The Public and Private Warrants will be valued at each reporting period using the publicly available price for the Warrant.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. US GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

●

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

●

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

●

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the convertible promissory note, warrant liabilities and the Forward Purchase Agreement (see Note 9).

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Segment

The Company is a non-revenue generating entity formed solely for the purpose of effectuating a business combination transaction. Accordingly the Company has a single reporting segment. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, reviews the Company’s operations and manages expenses incurred on a consolidated basis. The CODM assesses performance of the reportable segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income (loss) that also is reported on the consolidated statement of operations as consolidated net income (loss).

INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 30,000,000 Units (27,500,000 Units plus 2,500,000 over-allotment Units) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds to the Company in the amount of $300,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one whole share of Class A Ordinary Shares at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

NOTE 4.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of an aggregate of 14,000,000 Private Placement Warrants - 11,300,000 to the Sponsor, 100,000 to Nathanael Abebe, 35,000 to Christine Coignard, 25,000 to Kelvin Dushnisky, 200,000 to L. Peter O’Hagan and 2,340,000 to Orion GP - at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company in the amount of $14,000,000.

A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Units was added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering 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 Units held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Units will be worthless.

The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and Convertible Promissory Notes (and any ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants or warrants issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans and Convertible Promissory Notes and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A ordinary shares). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration 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 completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until the securities covered thereby are released from their lock-up restrictions. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from the date of the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 4,125,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

The underwriter was entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $6,000,000 which was paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the underwriter was entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $10,500,000. The deferred fee would have become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company obtained a waiver of the deferred commission from the underwriter. As a result, the Company recorded a reduction of $10,500,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable and a gain on the waiver of deferred underwriting commission payable in the period ending March 31, 2024.

On November 9, 2021, the underwriter purchased an additional 2,500,000 Option Units pursuant to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option. The Option Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating additional gross proceeds to the Company of $25,000,000. Upon expiration of the option in December 2021, 1,625,000 Class A shares eligible for purchase on the over-allotment option expired and the Sponsor forfeited 406,250 Founder Shares pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Forward Purchase Agreement

The Company entered into a forward purchase agreement on November 4, 2021, (a “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with an affiliate of the Sponsor, Orion Mine Finance Fund III LP (“Orion Mine Finance”), which, subject to the approval of Orion Mine Finance’s investment committee as well as customary closing conditions, will provide for the purchase of up to 5,000,000 units, with each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share (the “forward purchase shares”) and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “forward purchase warrants”) to purchase one Class A ordinary share, at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, for a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, in a private placement to occur in connection with the closing of a Business Combination.

The forward purchase warrants will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share and will have the same terms as the Private Placement Warrants so long as they are held by the affiliate of our sponsor or its permitted transferees, and the forward purchase shares will be identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units which were sold in the Initial Public Offering, except the forward purchase shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights.

Orion Mine Finance’s commitment to purchase securities pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement is intended to provide the Company with a minimum funding level for a Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of the forward purchase securities may be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in a Business Combination, expenses in connection with a Business Combination or for working capital in the post-transaction company.

The Company classifies the Forward Purchase Agreement as a liability upon execution of the agreement, in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40, at its fair value and will allocate a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units equal to its fair value determined by the modified Black Scholes model. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the liability will be adjusted to fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. Upon issuance of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $453,701. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Forward Purchase Agreement was $13,131,327 and $7,978,952, respectively, which is included in derivative liabilities on the balance sheets. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the Forward Purchase Agreement will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a loss and gain of $7,914,227 and $1,804,725, respectively, for the change in fair value. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded losses of $1,701,611 and $6,003,747, respectively, for the change in fair value, which is included in change in fair value of derivative liabilities on the accompanying statements of operations.

Approximately $378,300 of these fees are in accrued offering costs and will only become due and payable upon consummation of a Business Combination.

Class A Ordinary Shares - The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 of Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 2,340,370 2,640,370 and 7,129,558 shares of Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding and classified in temporary equity on the balance sheets, respectively.

Class B Ordinary Shares - The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 of Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 7,500,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Only holders of the Class B ordinary shares will have the right to vote on the appointment of directors prior to the Business Combination. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders except as otherwise required by law. In connection with our initial Business Combination, we may enter into a shareholders agreement or other arrangements with the shareholders of the target or other investors to provide for voting or other corporate governance arrangements that differ from those in effect upon completion of the Initial Public Offering.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of a Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, 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 issued in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a 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 then-outstanding Class B ordinary shares agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number 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% of the sum of the total number of all ordinary shares outstanding upon the completion of Initial Public Offering plus all Class A ordinary shares and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (net of the number of Class A ordinary shares redeemed in connection with a Business Combination), excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued or issuable to any seller of an interest in the target to us in a Business Combination.

NOTE 8.

WARRANTS

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and (b) 12 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary share pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file, and within 60 business days following a Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed. Notwithstanding the above, if the Class A ordinary share is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Share of Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

●

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, or the 30-day redemption period to each warrant holder; and

●

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganization, recapitalizations and the like) for any 10 trading days within a 20-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Share of Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $10.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

●

in whole and not in part;

●

at a price of $0.10 per warrant provided that the holder will be able to exercise their warrants on cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares based on the redemption date and the fair market value of the Class A ordinary shares;

●

upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption;

●

if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganization, recapitalizations and the like) for any 10 trading days within a 20-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; and

●

if, and only if, the Private Placement Warrants are also concurrently exchanged at the same price (equal to a number of Class A ordinary shares) as the outstanding public warrants, as described above.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public 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 Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

The Private Placement Warrants will be identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial 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. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable, except as described above, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company accounts for the 29,000,000 warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (including 15,000,000 Public Warrants and 14,000,000 Private Placement Warrants) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. The Private Placement Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment under ASC 815-40 because the Private Warrants include a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the Private Placement Warrant and the holder of an instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. The Public Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment under ASC 815-40 because the Public Warrants include a tender provision that would entitle all of the Public Warrant holders to cash while less than all of the shareholders are entitled to cash. Upon issuance of the derivative Warrants, the Company recorded a liability of $37,584,000 on the balance sheet.

NOTE 9.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.

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 table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:


Description	Level	June 30, 2025		December 31, 2024
Assets:
Cash and Investments held in the Trust Account	1	$	31,688,265	$	83,293,711

Liabilities:
Convertible promissory notes - related parties	3	$	14,809,371	$	13,697,950

Warrant liability - Private Placement Warrants	2		561,400		3,920,000
Warrant liability - Public Warrants	1		601,500		4,200,000
Forward Purchase Agreement	3		13,131,327		7,978,952
Total liabilities		$	29,103,598	$	29,796,902

The Convertible promissory notes - related parties, the Public Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Forward Purchase Agreement were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within convertible notes and derivative liabilities on the balance sheets. The convertible notes are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of convertible notes - related parties in the statements of operations. The warrant liabilities and Forward Purchase Agreement are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the statements of operations.

Upon initial issuance of each convertible note, the Company used a modified Black Scholes model to value the Convertible Note. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Convertible Notes were classified as Level 3 on the Fair Value Hierarchy.

Upon initial issuance, the Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants used the Monte Carlo simulation model and the modified Black-Scholes model, respectively The Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which is inclusive of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one Public Warrant), (ii) the sale of Private Warrants, and (iii) the issuance of Class B ordinary shares, first to the warrants based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption (temporary equity) and Class B ordinary shares (permanent equity) based on their relative fair values at the initial measurement date. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Public and Private Warrants were valued using the publicly available price for the Warrant and are classified as Level 1 and Level 2, respectively, on the Fair Value Hierarchy.

The Forward Purchase Agreement was valued using a valuation method which considers the reconstructed unit price (the total fair value of ordinary shares and half the Private Warrant value) and multiple assumptions such as risk-free rate and time to Initial Business Combination. As of June 30, 2025, the Forward Purchase Agreement was classified within Level 3 of the Fair Value Hierarchy at the measurement dates due to the use of unobservable inputs.

The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

2025 Extraordinary General Meeting in connection with the Business Combination Agreement

On February 28, 2025, shareholders of the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “2025 Extraordinary General Meeting”) for the following purposes:

●

Results of Operations

As of June 30, 2025, we have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. Our only activities since April 6, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2025 have been organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for our Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We have generated non-operating income in the form of (i) prior to August 15, 2023, interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account and (ii) since August 15, 2023, interest income on cash held in an interest bearing demand deposit account. We are incurring expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as expenses for due diligence on prospective Business Combination candidates.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net loss and income of $(8,108,817) and $770,345, respectively, which consists of a loss and gain in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $(7,914,227) and $1,804,725, respectively, and interest income on funds held in the Trust Account of $456,474 and $1,117,836, respectively, partially offset by and operating costs of $794,676 and $2,291,941, respectively, and a gain in fair value of the convertible notes of $143,612 and $139,725 respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On November 9, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 27,500,000 Units, generating gross proceeds of $275,000,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of an aggregate of 14,000,000 Private Placement Warrants - 11,300,000 to Rigel Resource Acquisition Holding LLC (the “Sponsor”), 100,000 to Nathanael Abebe, 35,000 to Christine Coignard, 25,000 to Kelvin Dushnisky, 200,000 to L.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had funds held in the Trust Account of $31,688,265. On May 8, 2023, the Sponsor deposited an aggregate of $3,000,000 into the Trust Account in order to extend the period of time the Company has to consummate its initial Business Combination by three months, from May 9, 2023 to August 9, 2023. On August 8, 2023, the Charter Amendments became effective and the period of time the Company has to consummate its initial Business Combination was extended up to August 9, 2024. On August 9, 2023, August 31, 2023, September 29, 2023, October 31, 2023, November 30, 2023, December 29, 2023, January 31, 2024, February 29, 2024, March 29, 2024, April 30, 2024, May 30, 2024, June 26, 2024 and July 31, 2024 the Sponsor made contributions of $248,387, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000, $350,000 and $101,613, respectively, to the Trust Account under the Second Extension Loan. In connection with the Charter Amendments, the holders of 5,429,967 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.73 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $58,279,780. On August 10, 2023, the Company instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by the Company to pay taxes, if any and up to $100,000 of dissolution expenses.

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and investments held in the trust account of $31,688,265, consisting of U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 180 days or less.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $739,103. Net income was $770,345 primarily as a result of a gain in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $1,804,725 and interest income on funds held in the trust account of $1,117,836 and a loss in fair value of convertible note of $139,725. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used cash of $1,552,838 in operating activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $1,187,516. Net loss was $4,153,802 primarily as a result of a loss in fair value of the convertible notes of $39,518, a loss in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $6,003,747, offset by interest income on funds held in the Trust Account of $5,932,526 and gain on waiver of deferred underwriting commission of $680,400. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $3,535,947 mainly as a result of the Company’s accrual for contingent legal fees to be paid if the Proposed Business Combination is consummated.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by investing activities was $52,723,282, as a result of $53,413,646 in cash withdrawn from the Trust for redemptions partially offset by $690,364 cash deposited into the Trust Account.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash used in investing activities was $2,100,000, primarily as a result of cash deposited into the Trust Account of $2,100,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in financing activities was $52,073,282, as a result cash paid for redemptions of $53,413,646, partially offset by $1,340,364 of proceeds from convertible promissory notes - related parties.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash provided by financing activities was $3,750,000, primarily as a result of $3,750,000 in proceeds from convertible promissory notes.

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 deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to make permitted withdrawals. To the extent that our capital shares or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash of $59,865 held outside the trust account. We intend to use the funds held outside the trust account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses and structure, negotiate and complete an initial Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection an initial Business Combination, our initial shareholders or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, as may be required. If we complete an initial Business Combination, we will repay such loaned amounts. In the event that an initial 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. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants identical to the Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender.

On May 18, 2022, the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Working Capital Loan”) with the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Working Capital Loan, the Sponsor has agreed to loan to the Company up to $1,500,000 to be used for working capital purposes. Up to $1,500,000 of the loans may be settled in whole warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to $1.00 per warrant. The loans will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon the earlier of the date by which the Company must complete an initial Business Combination pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (as amended from time to time) and the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. On May 18, 2022, February 21, 2023, September 29, 2023, November 30, 2023, and December 28, 2023, the Sponsor advanced $300,000, $250,000, $200,000, $200,000, and $550,000 respectively, to the Company under the Working Capital Loan.

The Amended and Restated Extension Loans will be repayable by the Company to the Payees on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the principal balance each Payee has advanced under the Amended and Restated Extension Loans. The Amended and Restated Extension Loans do not otherwise materially modify the terms of the First Extension Loan and the Second Extension Loan and are effective as of May 8, 2023 and August 9, 2023, respectively. On August 9, 2023, August 31, 2023, September 29, 2023, October 31, 2023, November 30, 2023 and December 29, 2023, the Sponsor advanced $248,387, $350,000, $350,000 and $350,000, $350,000, and $350,000 respectively to the Company under the Second Extension Loan. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $4,200,000 and $4,200,000 outstanding under the Second Extension Loan, respectively, and is included in convertible promissory notes - related parties on the accompanying balance sheets.

On December 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Promissory Note (the “December 2023 Working Capital Loan”) with the Sponsor. Pursuant to the December 2023 Working Capital Loan, the Sponsor has agreed to loan to the Company up to $1,500,000 to be used for working capital purposes. The loans will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon the earlier of the date by which the Company must complete an initial Business Combination pursuant to its amended Charter (as amended from time to time) and the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

Pursuant to the December 2024 Working Capital Loan, the Sponsor has agreed to loan the Company up to $1,750,000 to be used for working capital purposes. The loan will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon the earlier of the date by which the Company must complete an initial business combination pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (as amended from time to time) and the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. On December 27, 2024, January 21, 2025, February 26, 2025, April 1, 2025, April 30, 2025 and June 18, 2025, the Company borrowed $1,100,000, $50,000, $150,000, $200,000, $150,000 and $100,000, respectively, under the December 2024 Working Capital Loan.

On May 13, 2025 the Company, the Sponsor and Orion GP entered into the Fourth Extension Loan, where the Sponsor and Orion GP have agreed that they will contribute to the Company as a loan an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $60,000 and (y) $0.03 for each Public Share that was not redeemed in connection with the 2025 Special Meeting for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until August 9, 2025. The Fourth Extension Loan Contributions will be deposited into the Company’s trust account. The Fourth Extension Loan will not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company upon the earlier of the date by which the Company must complete an initial Business Combination and the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The maturity date of the Fourth Extension Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Any outstanding principal under the Fourth Extension Loan may be prepaid at any time by the Company, at its election and without penalty. On May 14, 2025, June 10, 2025 and July 8, 2025, the Sponsor and Orion GP made aggregate contributions of approximately $60,000, $60,000 and $60,000, respectively, to the trust account under the Fourth Extension Loan.

On August 13, 2025, the Company, the Sponsor and Orion GP entered into the Fifth Extension Loan, where the Sponsor and Orion GP have agreed that they will contribute to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “Contribution”) in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $55,000 and (y) $0.02 for each Public Share (as defined below) that was not redeemed in connection with the August 2025 Special Meeting, for each month (or a pro rata portion thereof if less than a month) until the earlier of (i) the date of the closing of the Business Combination and (ii) November 9, 2025. The Contributions will be deposited into the Company’s Trust Account. The Fifth Extension Loan will not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company upon the earlier of the date by which the Company must complete an initial Business Combination and the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The maturity date of the Extension Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined therein). Any outstanding principal under the Fifth Extension Loan may be prepaid at any time by the Company, at its election and without penalty. On August 14, 2025, the Sponsor and Orion GP made aggregate contributions of approximately $30,518 to the trust account under the Fifth Extension Loan.

The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In addition, the Company currently has less than 12 months from the date these financial statements were issued to complete a Business Combination transaction. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company does not have adequate liquidity to sustain operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate a Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period. The financial statements do 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 that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025. 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

We do not have any long-term debt, lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of our Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, administrative and support services, under which we began incurring fees on November 9, 2021 and will continue to incur fees monthly for up to until the earlier of the completion of our initial Business Combination or our liquidation.

The Company entered into a Forward Purchase Agreement on November, 4, 2021 with an affiliate of the Sponsor, Orion Mine Finance, which, subject to the approval of Orion Mine Finance’s investment committee as well as customary closing conditions, will provide for the purchase of up to 5,000,000 Units, with each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share, at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, for a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, in a private placement to occur in connection with the closing of a Business Combination.

Critical Accounting estimates and policies:

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company has identified the following as its critical accounting estimates and policies:

A critical accounting estimate to our financial statements include the fair value of the related parties convertible notes and the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

●

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

●

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”. Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are 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) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in the amount of $31,688,265 and $83,293,711 are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets, respectively.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable shares of Class A ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized a measurement adjustment from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of the redeemable Class A ordinary shares resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

Redemption of Class A Ordinary Shares

In connection with the vote to approve the Charter Amendments, the holders of 5,429,967 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.73 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $58,279,780, leaving approximately $263,710,000 in the Trust Account.

In connection with the 2024 Extension Amendment, the holders of 17,440,475 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.40 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $198,881,065, leaving approximately $81,301,345 in the Company’s trust account.

In connection with the May 2025 Extension Amendment, the holders of 4,489,188 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $11.90 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $53,413,646, leaving approximately $31,415,879 in the Company’s trust account.

In connection with the August 2025 Extension Amendment, the holders of 1,114,441 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $12.07 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $13,449,620.23, leaving approximately $18,415,659 in the Company’s trust account. The Company intends to consummate the Business Combination as soon as possible, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all other closing conditions, and may accept reversals of redemption requests prior to the closing of the Business Combination. In addition to the Available Cash Condition (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions that are not within Rigel’s, Aurous Resources’ or the Target Companies’ control, including, among other things, (i) receipt of approval for listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) of the Aurous Resources ordinary shares and Aurous Resources public warrants to be issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and (ii) receipt of certain required regulatory approvals, including by the Financial Surveillance Department of the South African Reserve Bank, that have yet to be obtained. The parties to the Business Combination Agreement may not satisfy all of the conditions to the closing in the Business Combination Agreement and, accordingly, the transactions contemplated therein may not be completed. If the closing conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination will not occur.

Net income (loss) per share

Convertible Promissory Notes

The Company accounts for their convertible promissory notes under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Under 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825. The Company has made such election for their convertible promissory notes. Using the fair value option, the convertible promissory notes are required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the notes are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value as of the closing date of the Initial Public Offering (November 9, 2021) and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The Company has determined the public warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement are derivative instruments. As the public warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Forward Purchase Agreement meet the definition of a derivative, the public warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and Forward Purchase Agreement are measured at fair value at issuance and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations in the period of change.

Warrant Instruments

The Company accounts for the public warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Forward Purchase Agreement issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision, the public warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Forward Purchase Agreement do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as a liability. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at fair value and adjust the instrument to fair value at each reporting period. This liability will be re-measured at each balance sheet date until the public warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and the Forward Purchase Agreement are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statements of operations. The fair value of the public warrants and the Private Placement Warrants were estimated at issuance using the Monte Carlo simulation model and the modified Black-Scholes model, respectively. The Forward Purchase Agreement was valued using a valuation model that factors in certain assumptions such as the probability of Business Combination, risk free rate and expected period until Business Combination. The valuation models utilize inputs and other assumptions and may not be reflective of the price at which they can be settled. Such warrant classification is also subject to re-evaluation at each reporting period. The Public and Private Warrants will be valued at each reporting period using the publicly available price for the Warrant.

Recent Accounting Standards

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure 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 Quarterly Report, are 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, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, and noted the following deficiency that we believe to be a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting: the Company’s processes to ensure its financial statements were properly presented in accordance with GAAP did not operate effectively. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2025.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we have sought to remediate the material weakness and will continue to take remediation steps, including devoting additional resources to the improvement of our internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the accounting treatment for complex financial instruments. While we have processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements, we are enhancing these processes to better evaluate our research and understanding of the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our securities and financial statements. We have also added additional layers of management oversight on the accrual of operating expenses and valuation of complex financial instruments. As we continue to evaluate and improve our internal control over financial reporting, management will review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our internal controls. While we believe these efforts will remediate the material weakness, the material weakness cannot be considered fully remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively.

If we identify any new material weakness in the future, any such newly identified material weakness could limit our ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In such case, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our stock price may decline as a result. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

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

Except as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2025, covered by this Quarterly Report, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Any of those factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2025 except as described below.
