    PART I

     

    Item 1. Business Overview.

     

    We are a blank check exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 15, 2022 with limited liability (meaning our public shareholders have no liability, as shareholders of the Company, for the liabilities of the Company over and above the amount paid for their shares) to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more target businesses. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location. We intend to utilize cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “IPO”), our securities, debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt, in effecting a Business Combination.

     

    Initial Public Offering and Private Placement

     

    On September 15, 2022, we issued 500,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each (the “Ordinary Shares”) to Bukit Jalil Global Investment Ltd. (the “Sponsor”). On November 16 2022, (1) we issued 1,437,500 Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each to the Sponsor for a purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.0174 per share, and (2) the Sponsor surrendered 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each. On April 12, 2023, the Sponsor entered into a securities transfer agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor transferred to our directors an aggregate of 23,000 Ordinary Shares, among which, 8,000 Ordinary Shares were transferred to Seck Chyn “Neil” Foo, and 5,000 Ordinary Shares were transferred to each of Bee Lian Ooi, Phui Lam Lee, and Suwardi Bin Hamzah Syakir. We refer to these Ordinary Shares throughout as the “Founder Shares.”

     

    On June 30, 2023, we consummated the IPO of 5,750,000 units (including 750,000 units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option, the “Public Units”). Each Public Unit consists of one Ordinary Share, one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and one right (the “Right”), each one Right entitling the holder thereof to exchange for one-tenth of one Ordinary Share upon the completion of our initial business combination. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57,500,000.

     

    Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 424,307 units (the “Private Units”) to the Sponsor, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $4,243,070.

     

    Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, we also issued to A.G.P. / Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”), the representative of the underwriters of the IPO, 150,000 ordinary shares (the “Representative Shares”).

     

    The proceeds of $58,362,500 ($10.15 per Public Unit) in the aggregate from the IPO and the Private Placement, were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and the underwriters of the IPO with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee.

     

    Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement that are held out of the Trust Account, although substantially all the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating a business combination and working capital.

     

    Since our IPO, our sole business activity has been identifying and evaluating suitable acquisition transaction candidates. We presently have no revenue and have had losses since inception from incurring formation and operating costs. We have relied upon the sale of our securities and loans from the Sponsor and other parties to fund our operations.

     

    On August 17, 2023, we announced that holders of the Company’s Public Units may elect to separately trade the Ordinary Shares, Warrants, and Rights included in its Public Units, commencing on or about August 21, 2023.

     

    The Ordinary Shares, Warrants, and Rights are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbols “BUJA,” “BUJAW,” and “BUJAR”, respectively. Units not separated will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “BUJAU.” Holders of Public Units will need to have their brokers contact the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in order to separate the holders’ Public Units into Ordinary Shares, Warrants, and Rights.

    Proposed Business Combination with GIBO

     

    As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 9, 2024, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement dated August 5, 2024 (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), with GIBO HOLDINGS LIMITED, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“PubCo”), GIBO Merger Sub 1 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Merger Sub I”), GIBO Merger Sub 2 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Merger Sub II”), and Global IBO Group Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“GIBO”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into GIBO, with GIBO as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “First Merger”), and (ii) following the First Merger, Merger Sub II will merge with and into BUJA, with BUJA as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Second Merger,” and together with the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each of BUJA and GIBO will become a subsidiary of PubCo, and BUJA’s shareholders and GIBO’s shareholders (except certain shareholders of the Company (such shareholders, the “Founders”)) will receive Class A ordinary shares of par value of $0.000001 each of PubCo (“PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares”) and the Founders will receive Class B ordinary shares of par value of $0.000001 each of PubCo (“PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares” and together with PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) as consideration and become the shareholders of PubCo. Each PubCo Class A Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of PubCo while each PubCo Class B Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to twenty (20) votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of PubCo. Each PubCo Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one (1) PubCo Class A Ordinary Share at any time at the option of the holder thereof and PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares under any circumstances. The closing date of each of the First Merger and the Second Merger is hereinafter referred to as the “First Closing Date” and the “Second Closing Date” respectively. The Company expects PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) following the consummation of the Business Combination. In connection with the Business Combination, PubCo filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-285183), which was declared effective on March 12, 2025 (as amended from time to time, the “Form F-4”), and the Company filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) for the solicitation of proxies in connection with an extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders on March 12, 2025.

     

    On March 31, 2025, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) in connection with the Business Combination. The shareholders approved following proposals, to approve by special resolutions:

     

    (a) the Business Combination Agreement and (ii) other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) be approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects;

     

    (b) the Business Combination which includes the Second Merger and other transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement be approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects;

    (e) with effect from the Second Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the amendment and restatement of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of BUJA by the deletion in their entirety and substitution in their place of the second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of BUJA be approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects, and

     

    (f) with effect from the Second Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the appointment of LIM Chun Yen as the sole director of BUJA be approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects

     

    In connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, as of March 27, 2025, the cut-off date of the redemption request, 2,832,423 ordinary shares of BUJA were rendered for redemption.

     

    Extension, Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws and Trust Agreement Amendment

     

    On June 29, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary Meeting”), where the shareholders of the Company approved the proposal (the “MAA Amendment Proposal”) to amend Articles 48.7 and 48.8 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Then Current MAA”) to provide that the Company must (i) consummate a business combination, or (ii) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such Business Combination and redeem or repurchase 100% of the Company’s public shares included as part of the public units issued in the Company’s initial public offering, by June 30, 2024 (the “Termination Date”), and if the Company does not consummate a business combination by June 30 2024, the Termination Date may be extended up to twelve times, each by a Monthly Extension, for a total of up to twelve months to June 30, 2025, without the need for any further approval of the Company’s shareholders (the “Extension”).

     

    In addition, at the Extraordinary Meeting, the shareholders of the Company also approved the proposal (“NTA Requirement Amendment Proposal”) to amend Articles 48.2, 48.4, 48.5, and 48.8 of the Then Current MAA (such amendment, together with the amendment mentioned in the last paragraph, the “MAA Amendment”) to eliminate the limitation that the Company may not redeem the Company’s public shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001 following such redemptions.

     

    In connection with the MMA Amendment, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company (the “Trustee”) amended the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated June 27, 2023 (the “Trust Agreement”), to provide that the Trustee must commence liquidation of the Company’s Trust Account by the 12-month anniversary of the closing of the IPO, or, in the event that the Company extended (on a monthly basis), the time to complete the business combination for up to 24-month from the closing of the IPO (each of such monthly extensions, the “Monthly Extension”) but has not completed the business combination within the applicable monthly anniversary of the closing of the IPO. In connection with the MAA Amendment Proposal and the NTA Requirement Amendment Proposal, 2,820,485 ordinary shares of the Company were rendered for redemption, and $30,153,549.88 were paid to the redeeming shareholders accordingly in July 2024.

     

    Monthly Extension Deposit and Notes

     

    To effectuate each Monthly Extension, on or about July 1, 2024, the Sponsor deposited the monthly extension fee in the amount of $100,000 for all remaining public shares in the Trust Account (the “July 2024 Extension Payment”) so that the Company has until July 30, 2024 to complete its initial business combination. In connection with the July 2024 Extension Payment, the Company issued to the Sponsor an unsecured promissory note of $100,000 (the “July 2024 Extension Note”).

As a result, the Company is expected to pay Deferred Underwriting Commission in the amount of $920,000 at the closing of the business combination.

     

    Background and Competitive Strengths

     

    We leverage our management team’s proprietary network of relationships with corporate executives, private equity, venture and growth capital funds, investment banking firms and consultants in order to source, acquire, and support the operations of the business combination target. Dr. Seck Chyn “Neil” Foo, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the board of directors, has accumulated extensive resources from different roles in multiple public and private companies in various industrial sectors. Meanwhile, via his roles in various social organizations, Dr. Foo has also developed a large and deep network and strong relationships with many business founders, executive and investors.

     

    In addition, our management team, comprising of our executive officers and directors, have experience in management, directorship and business in public and private companies. Dr. Foo is currently serving as a corporate advisor of Smile-Link Healthcare Global Berhad (Bursa Malaysia: 03023), the Group Chairman and an Independent Director of MCOM Holdings Bhd (Bursa Malaysia: 03022), and the Chief Strategist of NCT Alliance Berhad (Bursa Malaysia: 0056). Dr. Foo also previously served as an Investment Director of Novelplus Technology Berhad (Bursa Malaysia: 03045) and the Global Panel Advisor of Ho Wah Genting Berhad (Bursa Malaysia: 9601). Ms. Bee Lian Ooi, one of our independent directors, is the founder and Managing Director of JL Signature Sdn. Bhd., a private investment and asset management firm focusing on real estate and technology-driven investment holdings in Malaysia. We leverage their relevant experience to search and valuate business combination targets, perform discipline due diligence and provide post business combination value-add capabilities.

     

    We believe that this combination of extensive relationships and expertise will make us a preferred partner for and allow us to source high-quality business combination targets. However, none of our management team is obligated to remain with the company after an acquisition transaction, and we cannot provide assurance that the resignation or retention of our current management will be a term or condition in any agreement relating to business combination. Moreover, despite the competitive advantages we believe we have, we remain subject to significant competition with respect to identifying and executing a business combination.

    Business Strategy and Acquisition Criteria

     

    Our management team focuses on creating shareholder value by leveraging its experience in the management and operation of businesses to improve the efficiency of operations while implementing strategies to scale revenue organically and/or through acquisitions. Consistent with our strategy, we have identified the following general criteria and guidelines that we believe are essential in evaluating prospective target businesses. While we intend to use these criteria and guidelines in evaluating prospective businesses, we may deviate from these criteria and guidelines should we consider it appropriate to do so:

     

    Strong Management Team That Can Create Significant Value for Target Business

     

    We will seek to identify companies with strong and experienced management teams that will complement the management and operating abilities of our management team. We believe we can provide a platform for the target’s existing management team to leverage the experience of our management team.

     

    Niche Deal Size

     

    We intend to acquire emerging growth companies that either grow into a position to generate cash or are already cash-generative. We believe we have greater access to companies within this range and we expect the negotiation process to be comparably time-saving.

     

    Long-term Revenue Visibility with Defensible Market Position

     

    In management’s view, the target companies should be close to an anticipated inflection point, such as those companies requiring additional management expertise, those companies able to innovate by developing new products or services, or companies where we believe we have ability to achievement improved profitability performance through an acquisition designed to help facilitate growth.

     

    Benefits from Being a U.S. Public Company (Value Creation and Marketing Opportunities)

     

    We intend to search target companies that we believe will help offer attractive risk-adjusted equity returns for our shareholders. Amount other criteria, we expect to evaluate financial returns based on (i) the potential for organic growth in cash flows, (ii) the ability to achieve cost savings, (iii) the ability to accelerate growth, including through the opportunity for follow-on acquisitions, and (iv) the prospects for creating value through other value creation initiatives. We also plan to evaluate potential upside from future growth in the target business’ earnings and an improved capital structure.

     

    These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant.

     

    In the event that we decide to enter into our initial business combination with a target business that does not meet the above criteria and guidelines, we will disclose that the target business does not meet the above criteria and guidelines in our shareholder communications related to our initial business combination, which, would be in the form of proxy solicitation or tender offer materials that we would file with the SEC.

    Table of Contents

       

    Effecting a Business Combination

     

    We will either (i) seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which public shareholders may seek to convert their public shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against, or abstain from voting on, the proposed business combination, into their pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable) or (ii) provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to sell their public shares to us by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (net of taxes payable), in each case subject to the limitations described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our insiders have agreed, pursuant to written letter agreements with us, not to convert any public shares held by them into their pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of our proposed business combination or allow shareholders to sell their shares to us in a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval. If we so choose and we are legally permitted to do so, we will have the flexibility to avoid a shareholder vote and allow our shareholders to sell their shares pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. In that case, we will file tender offer documents with the SEC which will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules.

     

    Pursuant to our currently effective amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, we have until June 30, 2024 to consummate our initial business combination. If we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within this time period, we may, but are not obligated to, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to twelve times, for a total of up to twelve months to June 30, 2025, without the need for any further approval of the Company’s shareholders, provided that the Sponsor and/or designees must deposit into the Trust Account for each one month extension, $100,000, up to an aggregate of $1,200,000, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. Our public shareholders will not be afforded an opportunity to vote on our extension of time to consummate an initial business combination described above or redeem their shares in connection with such extensions.

     

    As of the date of this report, we have until April 30, 2025 to consummate our initial business combination (or until June 30, 2025, if fully extended). If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within such time period, unless we extend such period pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, we will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem 100% of our issued and outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us or necessary to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), and then seek to liquidate and dissolve. However, we may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our public shareholders. In the event of our liquidation and subsequent dissolution and the public warrants will expire and will be worthless.

     

    If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within this time period, we will liquidate the Trust Account and distribute the proceeds held therein to our public shareholders by way of redeeming their shares and dissolve. If we are forced to liquidate, we anticipate that we would distribute to our public shareholders the amount in the Trust Account calculated as of the date that is two (2) days prior to the distribution date (including any accrued interest net of taxes payable). Prior to such distribution, we would be required to assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us by our creditors for amounts they are actually owed and make provision for such amounts, as creditors take priority over our public shareholders with respect to amounts that are owed to them. We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our shareholders could potentially be liable for any claims of creditors to the extent of distributions received by them as an unlawful payment in the event we enter an insolvent liquidation. In the event of our liquidation and subsequent dissolution, the public warrants will expire and will be worthless.

    Table of Contents

      

    Pursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules, our initial business combination must be with a target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (excluding any deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such business combination, although this may entail simultaneous acquisitions of several target businesses. The fair market value of the target business will be determined by our board of directors based upon one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community (such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and/or book value). Our board of directors will have broad discretion in choosing the standard used to establish the fair market value of any prospective target business. The target business or businesses that we acquire may have a collective fair market value substantially in excess of 80% of the Trust Account balance. We will not be required to comply with the 80% fair market value requirement if we are delisted from NASDAQ.

     

    We are not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party that the target business we select has a fair market value in excess of at least 80% of the balance of the Trust Account unless our board of directors cannot make such determination on its own. We are also not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party indicating that the price we are paying is fair to our shareholders from a financial point of view unless the target is affiliated with our officers, directors, insiders or their affiliates.

     

    We currently anticipate structuring our initial business combination to acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. We may, however, structure our initial business combination where we merge directly with the target business or where we acquire less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such 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 sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our shareholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination transaction. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In this case, we could acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target; however, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our issued and outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, only the portion of such target business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% fair market value test.

     

    Enforceability of Civil Liability

     

    Our management including our officers and directors are all located in Malaysia. Further, there is uncertainty if any officers and directors of the post-combination entity will be located outside the Unites States. As a result, it may be difficult, or in some cases not possible, for investors in the United States to enforce their legal rights, to effect service of process upon those officers and directors (prior to or after the business combination) located outside the United States, to enforce judgments of United States courts predicated upon civil liabilities and criminal penalties on them under United States securities laws. In particular, there are currently no statutes, treaties, or other forms of reciprocity between the United States and Malaysia providing for the mutual recognition and enforcement of court judgments. Under Malaysian laws, a foreign judgment cannot be directly or summarily enforced in Malaysia. The judgment must first be recognized by a Malaysian court either under applicable Malaysian laws or in accordance with common law principles. For Malaysian courts to accept the jurisdiction for recognition of a foreign judgment, the foreign country where the judgment is made must be a reciprocating country expressly specified and listed in the Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments Act 1958, Maintenance Orders (Facilities for Enforcement) Act 1949 or Probate and Administration Act 1959. As the United States is not one of the countries specified under the statutory regime where a foreign judgment can be recognized and enforced in Malaysia, a judgment obtained in the United States must be enforced by commencing fresh proceedings in a Malaysian court. The requirements for a foreign judgment to be recognized and enforceable in Malaysia are: (i) the judgment must be a monetary judgment; (ii) the foreign court must have had jurisdiction accepted by a Malaysian court; (iii) the judgment was not obtained by fraud; (iv) the enforcement of the judgment must not contravene public policy in Malaysia; (v) the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were not opposed to natural justice, and (vi) the judgment must be final and conclusive.

    U.S. Foreign Investment Regulations

     

    The Sponsor currently owns approximately 37.7% of our issued and outstanding shares. Ms. Chyi Chyi Ooi, who is not a U.S person, is the sole director and the sole member of the Sponsor and as such is deemed to have sole voting and investment discretion with respect to our shares held by the Sponsor. Controlling or non-controlling investments in U.S. businesses that produce, design, test, manufacture, fabricate or develop one or more critical technologies in one of 27 identified industries – including aviation, defense, semiconductors, telecommunications and biotechnology – are subject to a mandatory filing with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (“CFIUS”). In addition, CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States. Because we may be considered a “foreign person” under such rules and regulations, any proposed business combination between us and a U.S. business engaged in a regulated industry or which may affect national security, we could be subject to such foreign ownership restrictions and/or CFIUS review, or ultimately prohibited. The scope of CFIUS was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”) to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subject certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If our potential initial business combination with a U.S. business falls within the scope of foreign ownership restrictions, we may be unable to consummate a business combination with such business. In addition, if our potential business combination falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company if we had proceeded without first obtaining CFIUS clearance. The foreign ownership limitations, and the potential impact of CFIUS, may limit the attractiveness of a transaction with us or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues.

     

    Moreover, the process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete our initial business combination our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period or a decision to prohibit an initial business combination may require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public shareholders may only receive $10.15 per share initially, and our warrants and rights will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

     

    Facilities

     

    We maintain our principal executive office at 31-1 Taman Miharja Phase 3B, Jalan 3/93, 2 ½ Miles, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 55200.

     

    Employees

     

    We have one executive officer, Dr. Seck Chyn “Neil” Foo, who is both Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Our officers are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to our affairs. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for the business combination and the stage of the business combination process the company is in. Accordingly, once management locates a suitable target business to acquire, they will spend more time investigating such target business and negotiating and processing the business combination (and consequently spend more time to our affairs) than they would prior to locating a suitable target business. We presently expect our executive officers to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business (which could range from only a few hours a week while we are trying to locate a potential target business to a majority of their time as we move into serious negotiations with a target business for a business combination). We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.

    We have not adopted any cybersecurity risk management program or formal processes for assessing cybersecurity risk. Our management is generally responsible for assessing and managing any cybersecurity threats. If and when any reportable cybersecurity incident arises, our management shall promptly report such matters to our board of directors for further actions, including regarding the appropriate disclosure, mitigation, or other response or actions that the board deems appropriate to take.

    Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered Offerings

     

    On September 15, 2022, we issued 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor. On November 16 2022, (1) we issued 1,437,500 Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each to the Sponsor for a purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.0174 per share, and (2) the Sponsor surrendered 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each. On April 12, 2023, the Sponsor entered into a securities transfer agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor transferred to our directors an aggregate of 23,000 Ordinary Shares, among which, 8,000 Founder Shares were transferred to Seck Chyn “Neil” Foo, and 5,000 Founder Shares were transferred to each of Bee Lian Ooi, Phui Lam Lee, and Suwardi Bin Hamzah Syakir.

     

    On June 30, 2023, we consummated the IPO of 5,750,000 units (including 750,000 units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option, the “Public Units”). Each Public Unit consists of one Ordinary Share, one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and one right (the “Right”), each one Right entitling the holder thereof to exchange for one-tenth of one Ordinary Share upon the completion of our initial business combination. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57,500,000.

     

    On June 30, 2023, substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 424,307 units (the “Private Units”) to the Sponsor, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $4,243,070.

     

    Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, we also issued to A.G.P. / Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”), the representative of the underwriters of the IPO, 150,000 ordinary shares (the “Representative Shares”). The Representative Shares have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a lock-up for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of the commencement of sales in the IPO pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). The fair value of the 150,000 Representative Shares was approximately $817,500 or $5.45 per share.

    The proceeds of $58,362,500 ($10.15 per Public Unit) in the aggregate from the IPO and the Private Placement, were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and the underwriters of the IPO with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee. Transaction costs amounted to $4,777,524, consisting of $2,012,500 of underwriting discounts and commissions, $1,150,000 of deferred underwriting commissions, $797,524 of other offering costs and $817,500 fair value of the 150,000 Representative Shares considered as part of the transaction costs. 

     

    From January 1, 2024 to the date hereof, the Company issued a total of ten (10) Notes to the Sponsor in the total principal amount of $1,000,000. The proceeds of the Notes were deposited into the Company’s Trust Account for the public shareholders, which enables the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination up to April 30, 2025.

     

    Pursuant to the Notes, the Sponsor, has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Notes, in whole or in part, respectively, into private units of the Company, each consisting of one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, one-half of one warrant, and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon the consummation of a business combination, as described in the Prospectus, by providing the Company with written notice of the intention to convert at least two business days prior to the closing of the business combination. The number of units to be received by the Sponsor in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the Sponsor by (y) $10.00. The issuances of the Notes were made pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

    Overview

     

    We are a blank check company formed under the laws of Cayman Island on September 15, 2022, for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the initial public offering (the “IPO”), our securities, debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt, in effecting a business combination. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location.

     

    We presently have no revenue, have had losses since inception from incurring formation and operating costs and have had no operations other than identifying and evaluating suitable acquisition transaction candidates. We have relied upon the working capital available to us following the consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement (as defined below) to fund our operations, as well as the funds loaned by the Sponsor (as defined below), our officers, directors or their affiliates. We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our initial business combination will be successful.

     

    On June 30, 2023, we consummated the IPO of 5,750,000 units (including 750,000 units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option, the “Public Units”). Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and one right (the “Right”), each one Right entitling the holder thereof to exchange for one-tenth of one Ordinary Share upon the completion of our initial business combination. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57,500,000.

     

    On June 30, 2023, substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 424,307 units (the “Private Units”) to the Company’s sponsor, Bukit Jalil Global Investment Ltd. (the “Sponsor”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $4,243,070.

    Proposed Business Combination with GIBO

     

    As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 9, 2024, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement dated August 5, 2024 (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), with GIBO HOLDINGS LIMITED, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“PubCo”), GIBO Merger Sub 1 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Merger Sub I”), GIBO Merger Sub 2 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Merger Sub II”), and Global IBO Group Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“GIBO”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into GIBO, with GIBO as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “First Merger”), and (ii) following the First Merger, Merger Sub II will merge with and into BUJA, with BUJA as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Second Merger,” and together with the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each of BUJA and GIBO will become a subsidiary of PubCo, and BUJA’s shareholders and GIBO’s shareholders (except certain shareholders of the Company (such shareholders, the “Founders”)) will receive Class A ordinary shares of par value of $0.000001 each of PubCo (“PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares”) and the Founders will receive Class B ordinary shares of par value of $0.000001 each of PubCo (“PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares” and together with PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) as consideration and become the shareholders of PubCo. Each PubCo Class A Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of PubCo while each PubCo Class B Ordinary Share shall entitle the holder thereof to twenty (20) votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of PubCo. Each PubCo Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one (1) PubCo Class A Ordinary Share at any time at the option of the holder thereof and PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares under any circumstances. The closing date of each of the First Merger and the Second Merger is hereinafter referred to as the “First Closing Date” and the “Second Closing Date” respectively. The Company expects PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) following the consummation of the Business Combination.

     

    In connection with the Business Combination, PubCo has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-285183), which was declared effective on March 12, 2025 (as amended from time to time, the “Form F-4”), and the Company filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) for the solicitation of proxies in connection with an extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders on March 12, 2025.

     

    On March 31, 2025, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) in connection with the Business Combination. The shareholders approved following proposals, to approve by special resolutions:

     

    (a) the Business Combination Agreement and (ii) other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) be approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects;

    (e) with effect from the Second Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), the amendment and restatement of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of BUJA by the deletion in their entirety and substitution in their place of the second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of BUJA be approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects, and

    In connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, as of March 27, 2025, the cut-off date of the redemption request, 2,832,423 ordinary shares of BUJA were rendered for redemption.

     

    Extension, Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws and Trust Agreement Amendment

     

    On June 29, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary Meeting”), where the shareholders of the Company approved the proposal (the “MAA Amendment Proposal”) to amend Articles 48.7 and 48.8 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Then Current MAA”) to provide that the Company must (i) consummate a business combination, or (ii) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such Business Combination and redeem or repurchase 100% of the Company’s public shares included as part of the public units issued in the Company’s initial public offering, by June 30, 2024 (the “Termination Date”), and if the Company does not consummate a business combination by June 30 2024, the Termination Date may be extended up to twelve times, each by a Monthly Extension, for a total of up to twelve months to June 30, 2025, without the need for any further approval of the Company’s shareholders (the “Extension”).

     

    In addition, at the Extraordinary Meeting, the shareholders of the Company also approved the proposal (“NTA Requirement Amendment Proposal”) to amend Articles 48.2, 48.4, 48.5, and 48.8 of the Then Current MAA (such amendment, together with the amendment mentioned in the last paragraph, the “MAA Amendment”) to eliminate the limitation that the Company may not redeem the Company’s public shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001 following such redemptions.

     

    In connection with the MMA Amendment, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company (the “Trustee”) amended the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated June 27, 2023 (the “Trust Agreement”), to provide that the Trustee must commence liquidation of the Company’s Trust Account by the 12-month anniversary of the closing of the IPO, or, in the event that the Company extended ( on a monthly basis), the time to complete the business combination for up to 24-month from the closing of the IPO (each of such monthly extensions, the “Monthly Extension”) but has not completed the business combination within the applicable monthly anniversary of the closing of the IPO. In connection with the MAA Amendment Proposal and the NTA Requirement Amendment Proposal, 2,820,485 ordinary shares of the Company were rendered for redemption, and $30,153,549.88 were paid to the redeeming shareholders accordingly in July 2024.

     

    Monthly Extension Deposit and Notes

     

    To effectuate each Monthly Extension, on or about July 1, 2024, the Sponsor deposited the monthly extension fee in the amount of $100,000 for all remaining public shares in the Trust Account (the “July 2024 Extension Payment”) so that the Company has until July 30, 2024 to complete its initial business combination.

    Results of Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

     

    We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 involved mainly searching for a suitable target for our initial business combination, There has been no significant change in our financial or trading position and no material adverse change has occurred since the date of our audited financial statements. After the IPO, we incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for expenses associated with the search for target opportunities.

     

    For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had a net income of 1,201,415, which consisted of interest and dividend income of $2,388,838 on investments held in Trust Account, and which was offset by operating costs of $1,187,423.

    For the year ended December 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $1,18,107. As of December 31, 2024, we had cash of $15,265 available for working capital needs. All remaining cash is held in the Trust Account and is generally unavailable for our use, prior to an initial business combination, and is restricted for use either in a business combination or to redeem the ordinary shares.

    We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO, including the funds held in the Trust Account, to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto, including deferred underwriting commissions of $1,150,000 payable to A.G.P. / Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”), the representative of the underwriters of the IPO. To the extent that our share capital is used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the Trust Account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

     

    Over the next 12 months (assuming a business combination is not consummated prior thereto), we will be using the funds held outside of the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

     

    If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, or the amount of interest available to us from the Trust Account is less than we expect as a result of the current interest rate environment, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial business combination. Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

     

    As of December 31, 2024, we had cash of $15,265 and a working capital deficit of $1,647,964. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such additional conditions also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

     

    Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

     

    We have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2024. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

     

    Contractual Obligations

     

    As of December 31, 2024, we do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

    We are obligated to pay the underwriters a deferred underwriting fees equal to 2.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO. Upon completion of the business combination, $1,150,000 will be paid to the underwriters from the funds held in the Trust Account.

     

    The founder shares, the Ordinary Shares included in the Private Units, and any Ordinary Shares that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the IPO. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

     

    Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     

    In preparing these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported 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 as of the date of the financial statements, and that management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these estimates. Management does not believe that we have any critical accounting estimates; however, we have identified the following critical accounting policy:

     

    Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share

     

    The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less interest income and unrealized gain or loss on investments in trust account less any dividends paid. We then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. 

     

    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     

    In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments. These requirements include: (i) disclosure of significant expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”); (ii) disclosure of an amount for other segment items (equal to the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss) by reportable segment and a description of their composition; (iii) annual disclosure of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods; (iv) clarification that, if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report those additional measures of segment profit or loss; (v) disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources; and (vi) requiring a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU, and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the year ended December 31, 2024, and applied the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

     

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

     

    Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

     

    As of December 31, 2024, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. Following the consummation of our IPO, the net proceeds of our IPO, including amounts in the Trust Account, have been invested in Mutual funds. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

    Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

     

    Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

     

    Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     

    Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the year ended December 31, 2024, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer who also serves as our principal financial and accounting officer has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

     

    Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

     

    Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

     

    As required by SEC rules and regulations implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

     

    (1)

    pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company,

     

    (2)

    provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and

     

    (3)

    provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

     

    Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2024. In making these assessments, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, management determined that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024.

     

    Management had previously identified one material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, which related to the ineffective preparation and review of the cash flow statements. To address this material weakness, management developed and implemented more detailed policies and procedures governing the preparation, review, and approval of the cash flow statements, and strengthened our review controls by requiring a more detailed supervisory and management-level review prior to finalization. Based on the improvements implemented and tested during 2024, management determined that the material weakness had been successfully remediated as of December 31, 2024.

    This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies under the JOBS Act.

     

    Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

     

    Other than changes that have resulted from the material weakness remediation activities noted above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, during the most recently completed fiscal quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

    Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

     

    Our board of directors consists of four members. Our board of directors is divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year, and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of shareholders) serving a three-year term: Class I, with a term expiring at the first annual general meeting — Suwardi Bin Hamzah Syakir; Class II, with a term expiring at the second annual general meeting — Bee Lian Ooi and Phui Lam Lee; and Class III, with a term expiring at the third annual general meeting — Seck Chyn “Neil” Foo. Prior to the completion of an initial business combination, any vacancies on our board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present and voting at the meeting of our board of directors or by a majority of the holders of our Founder Shares. After completion of the business combination, subject to any other special rights applicable to the shareholders, any vacancies on our board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present and voting at the meeting of our board of directors or by a majority of the holders of our ordinary shares.

     

    Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as it deems appropriate. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that our officers may consist of a Chairman, a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Chief Operating Officer, a Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, a Secretary, Assistant Secretaries, a Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.

     

    Committees of the Board of Directors

     

    Our board of directors currently has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Because we are a “controlled company” under applicable Nasdaq rules, we do not have a nominating and governance committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of NASDAQ and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors, and the rules of NASDAQ require that the compensation committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

     

    Audit Committee

     

    Ms. Ooi, Mr. Lee, and Mr. Hamzah Syakir currently serve as members of our audit committee. Under Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have three members of the audit committee, all of whom must be independent, subject to the certain phase-in provisions. Our board of directors has determined that each of Ms. Ooi, Mr. Lee, and Mr. Hamzah Syakir meets the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards and under Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.

     

    Mr. Hamzah Syakir is the Chairperson of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee meets the financial literacy requirements of Nasdaq, and our board of directors has determined that Mr. Hamzah Syakir qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

     

     
    21

    Table of Contents

       

    The audit committee’s duties, which are specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

     

    ●

    reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board whether the audited financial statements should be included in our Form 10-K;

     

     

    ●

    discussing with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements;

     

     

    ●

    discussing with management major risk assessment and risk management policies;

     

     

    ●

    monitoring the independence of the independent auditor;

     

     

    ●

    verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

     

     

    ●

    reviewing and approving all related-party transactions;

     

     

    ●

    inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

     

     

    ●

    pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

     

     

    ●

    appointing or replacing the independent auditor;

     

     

    ●

    determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

     

     

    ●

    establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies; and

     

     

    ●

    approving reimbursement of expenses incurred by our management team in identifying potential target businesses.

     

    Compensation Committee

     

    We have established a compensation committee of the board of directors, which consists of Ms. Ooi, Mr. Lee, and Mr. Hamzah Syakir, each of whom is an independent director under Nasdaq’s listing standards. Ms. Ooi is the Chairperson of the compensation committee.

     

    The compensation committee’s duties, which are specified in our Compensation Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

     

     

    ●

    reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer’s based on such evaluation;

     

     

    ●

    reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other executive officers;

     

     
    22

    Table of Contents

      

     

    ●

    reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

     

     

    ●

    implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

     

     

    ●

    assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

     

     

    ●

    approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;

     

     

    ●

    if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

     

     

    ●

    reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

     

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing shareholders, including our directors or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

     

    Director Nominations

     

    We do not have a standing nominating committee. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq Rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the board of directors. The board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

     

    The board of directors will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of shareholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of shareholders).

     

    We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, our board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders.

     

    Code of Ethics

     

    We have adopted a code of ethics and business conduct (the “Code of Ethics”) applicable to our directors, officers and employees. The code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. You are able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us.  We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

     

    Clawback Policy

     

    We adopted a clawback policy on November 30, 2023 that applies to our executive officers (the “Policy”) in order to comply with Nasdaq rules, which were approved by the SEC in June of 2023. The Policy took effect on November 30, 2023.

     

    The policy gives our compensation committee the discretion to require executive officers to reimburse us for any Erroneously Awarded Compensation (as defined in the Policy) that was based on financial results that were subsequently restated as a result of that person’s misconduct.

    Item 11. Executive Compensation.

     

    Except that the Sponsor transferred to our directors an aggregate of 23,000 Founder Shares prior to the closing of the IPO, among which, 8,000 Founder Shares were transferred to Seck Chyn “Neil” Foo, and 5,000 Founder Shares were transferred to each of Bee Lian Ooi, Phui Lam Lee, and Suwardi Bin Hamzah Syakir, provided that in either case the directors remain with us until the closing of a business combination, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, has been paid or will be paid to any of our existing shareholders, including our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. However, such individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of directors and audit committee, which includes persons who may seek reimbursement, or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged.

     

    After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company. All these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time, because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our executive officers will be determined by a compensation committee constituted solely of Independent Directors.

     

    We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our executive officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after the initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our executive officers and directors

    Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

     

    Founder Shares

     

    On September 15, 2022, we issued 500,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each (the “Ordinary Shares”) to Bukit Jalil Global Investment Ltd. (the “Sponsor”). On November 16, 2022, (1) we issued 1,437,500 Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each to the Sponsor for a purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.0174 per share, and (2) the Sponsor surrendered 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each. On April 12, 2023, the Sponsor entered into a securities transfer agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor transferred to our directors an aggregate of 23,000 Ordinary Shares, among which, 8,000 Founder Shares were transferred to Seck Chyn “Neil” Foo, and 5,000 Founder Shares were transferred to each of Bee Lian Ooi, Phui Lam Lee, and Suwardi Bin Hamzah Syakir, immediately following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

     

    As of December 31, 2024, there were 1,437,500 Founder Shares issued and outstanding. The aggregate capital contribution was $25,000, or approximately $0.0174 per share.

     

    Private Units

     

    On June 30, 2023, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the Private Placement of 424,307 Private Units to the Sponsor at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit.

     

    Promissory Note — Related Party

     

    On November 4, 2022, the Sponsor has agreed to loan the Company up to $500,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. This loan is non-interest bearing, unsecured and is due at the earlier of (1) December 31, 2024 or (2) the date on which the Company consummates an initial public offering of its securities. Total amount of $433,508 under the promissory note was fully repaid upon closing of the IPO on June 30, 2023. This note has been terminated after the repayment.

     

    From January 1, 2024 to the date hereof, the Company issued a total of ten (10) Notes to the Sponsor in the total principal amount of $1,000,000. The proceeds of the Notes were deposited into the Company’s Trust Account for the public shareholders, which enables the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination up to April 30, 2025.

    Working Capital Loans

     

    In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. Any such loans would be on an interest-free basis and would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to the Company upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the private units issued to the Sponsor. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Company’s trust account, but if the Company does, it will request such lender to provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the trust account.

     

    As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no borrowings under the working capital loans.

     

    Administrative Services Agreement

     

    On June 27, 2023, in connection with the IPO, the Company entered into the Administrative Service Agreement with the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Administrative Service Agreement, the Company shall pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month as the Administrative Service Fee from June 27, 2023, the date of the Prospectus till the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation. The Administrative Service Agreement provides that any unpaid amount of the Administrative Service Fee will accrue without interest and be due and payable no later than the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination.

     

    On October 14, 2023, upon the approval of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of the Company, the Company and the Sponsor agreed to waive full payment of the Administrative Service Fee from the start date up to 12 months. The total of $120,000 has been waived including the accrued liabilities of $35,000 as of October 14, 2023 and the remaining commitment balance $85,000.

     

    Policy for Approval of Related Party Transactions

     

    We have adopted a formal policy for the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions. Accordingly, the transactions discussed above were reviewed, approved or ratified in accordance with any such policy.

     

    We have adopted a code of ethics requiring us to avoid, wherever possible, all conflicts of interests, except under guidelines or resolutions approved by our board of directors (or the appropriate committee of our board) or as disclosed in our public filings with the SEC. Under our code of ethics, conflict of interest situations will include any financial transaction, arrangement or relationship (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) involving the company. A form of the code of ethics that we have adopted is filed as an exhibit to our registration statement on Form S-1 (File No.: 333-272605), which became effective on June 27, 2023.

     

    In addition, our audit committee, pursuant to a written charter that we have adopted, will be responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent that we enter into such transactions. An affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the audit committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be required in order to approve a related party transaction. A majority of the members of the entire audit committee will constitute a quorum. Without a meeting, the unanimous written consent of all of the members of the audit committee will be required to approve a related party transaction. We also require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

     

    These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

    Table of Contents

       

    To further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate an initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of our insiders unless we, or a committee of independent directors, have obtained an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA, or another independent firm that commonly renders valuation opinions for the type of company we are seeking to acquire, or an independent accounting firm that our initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. Furthermore, no finder’s fees, compensation or cash payments will be made to our insiders, existing officers, directors or advisors, or our or their affiliates, for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination although we may consider cash or other compensation to officers or advisors we may hire subsequent to the IPO to be paid either prior to or in connection with our initial business combination. In addition, the following payments will be made to our insiders or their affiliates, none of which will be made from the proceeds of the IPO held in the trust account prior to the completion of our initial business combination:

     

    ●

    reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations;

     

    ●

    repayment at the closing of our initial business combination of loans which may be made by our insiders or an affiliate of our insiders to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, to meet our working capital needs or to extend our life, the terms of which have not been determined nor have any written agreements been executed with respect thereto. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into working capital units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender in addition to the convertible notes in connection with the potential extensions. Such working capital units are identical to the private units sold in the private placement; and

     

    Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our insiders or their affiliates.

     

    Director Independence

     

    Nasdaq requires that a majority of our board must be composed of “Independent Directors.” Currently, Ms. Bee Lian Ooi, Mr. Phui Lam Lee, and Mr. Suwardi Bin Hamzah Syakir are each considered an “independent director” under the Nasdaq listing rules, which is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Independent Directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

     

    Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services.

     

    The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to UHY LLP (“UHY”), for services rendered.

     

    Audit Fees. Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by UHY in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees billed by UHY for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of the financial information included in our other required filings with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 totaled $188,342 and $175,058, respectively. The above amounts include interim procedures and audit fees, as well as attendance at audit committee meetings.

     

    Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related services consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” There were no fees billed for products and services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

     

    Tax Fees. We did not pay UHY for tax planning and tax advice for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

     

    All Other Fees. We did not pay UHY for other services for the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

     

    To the Board of Directors and

    Shareholders of Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition 1 Ltd.

     

    Opinion on the Financial Statements

     

    We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition 1 Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

     

    Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

     

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to assume the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenue, and incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in the pursuit of the consummation of a business combination. The Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 2024 are not sufficient to complete its planned activities for the upcoming year. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events, conditions and plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty, and our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

     

    Basis for Opinion

     

    These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

     

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

     

    Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     

    /s/ UHY LLP

     

    We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

    Notes To Financial Statements

     

    Note 1 — Organization and Business Operation

     

    Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition 1 Ltd. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 15, 2022. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

     

    As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. For the period from September 15, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2024, the Company’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities as well as activities related to its IPO (as defined below) and searches for targets for a business combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generated non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO (as defined below).

     

    The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) became effective on June 27, 2023. On June 30, 2023, the Company consummated the IPO of 5,750,000 units (including 750,000 units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option, the “Public Units”). Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share, $0.0001 par value per share, one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrant”), each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and one right (the “Right”), each one Right entitling the holder thereof to exchange for one-tenth of one ordinary share upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57,500,000.

     

    Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 424,307 units (the “Private Placement Unit”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Units to Bukit Jalil Global Investment Ltd., a Cayman Islands company (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds to the Company of $4,243,070. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one ordinary share, one-half of one warrant, and one right. These Private Placement Units are identical to the Public Units, subject to limited exceptions. However, the holder of the Private Placement Units is entitled to registration rights. In addition, the Private Placement Units and the underlying securities may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until completion of the initial Business Combination.

     

    Following the closing of the IPO and the issuance and the sale of Private Placement Units on June 30, 2023, $58,362,500 ($10.15 per Public Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Units in the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Units was placed into a U.S. based trust account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, and will be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to pay the Company’s tax obligations, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units that are deposited in the trust account will not be released from the trust account until the earliest to occur of: (a) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (b) the redemption of any public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s memorandum and articles of association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete the initial Business Combination by June 30, 2024 (or up to December 30, 2024 if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination) (the “Combination Period”), provided that the Sponsor or designee must deposit into the trust account for each three-month extension $575,000 ($0.10 per Public Units), up to an aggregate of $1,150,000, on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline), or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity and (c) the redemption of the public shares if the Company is unable to complete the Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the trust account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders.

    Notes To Financial Statements

     

     

    The Company’s initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the trust account (excluding deferred underwriting commissions and interest income earned on the trust account that is released for working capital purposes or to pay taxes) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, 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 an interest in the target sufficient for the post-transaction company not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

     

    The ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are being recorded at a redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If the Company cannot complete a Business Combination by June 30, 2024 (or up to December 30, 2024 if the Company extends the period of time to consummate a Business Combination), unless the Company extends such period pursuant to its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to the Company for working capital purposes or to pay the taxes (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 public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, 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 warrants and rights, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination by June 30, 2024 (or up to December 30, 2024 if the Company extends the time needed to complete a Business Combination).

     

    On June 29, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary Meeting”), where the shareholders of the Company approved the proposal to amend Articles 48.7 and 48.8 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Current MAA”) to provide that the Company must (i) consummate a business combination, or (ii) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such Business Combination and redeem or repurchase 100% of the Company’s public shares included as part of the public units issued in the Company’s initial public offering, by June 30, 2024 (the “Termination Date”), and if the Company does not consummate a business combination by June 30 2024, the Termination Date may be extended up to twelve times, each by a Monthly Extension, for a total of up to twelve months to June 30, 2025, without the need for any further approval of the Company’s shareholders (the “Extension”).

     

    In addition, at the Extraordinary Meeting, the shareholders of the Company also approved the proposal to amend Articles 48.2, 48.4, 48.5, and 48.8 of the Current MAA (such amendment, together with the amendment mentioned in the last paragraph, the “MAA Amendment”) to eliminate the limitation that the Company may not redeem the Company’s public shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001 following such redemptions.

     

    In connection with the MMA Amendment, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York limited purpose trust company (the “Trustee”) amended the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated June 27, 2023 (the “Trust Agreement”), to provide that the Trustee must commence liquidation of the Company’s Trust Account by the 12-month anniversary of the closing of the IPO, or, in the event that the Company extended ( on a monthly basis), the time to complete the business combination for up to 24-month from the closing of the IPO (each of such monthly extensions, the “Monthly Extension”) but has not completed the business combination within the applicable monthly anniversary of the closing of the IPO.

    In connection with the MAA Amendment Proposal and the NTA Requirement Amendment Proposal, 2,820,485 ordinary shares of the Company were rendered for redemption, and $30,153,550 were paid to the redeeming shareholders accordingly on July 9, 2024.

     

    In order to effectuated extension of the Company’s deadline to consummate a Business Combination, the Sponsor had deposited a total of Seven-Monthly Extension Fee, each in the amount of $100,000, from July through December 2024, or an aggregate of $700,000, to the Trust Account of the Company to extend the deadline for the Company to complete the Business Combination contemplated from June 30, 2024 to January 2025. Each Monthly Extension Payment from the Sponsor was evidenced by an unsecured promissory note (collectively, the “Extension Notes”) issued by the Company to the Sponsor.

     

    Subsequently, in January, February, and March 2025, the Sponsor deposited an aggregated total of $300,000 into the Trust Account resulting the Company having until April 2025 to complete its initial business combination. The Company issued the Sponsor three unsecured promissory notes of an aggregate total of $300,000 (the “January, February, and March 2025 Extension Note”).

     

    Business Combination Agreement with Global IBO Group Ltd.

     

    On August 5, 2024, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with GIBO Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PubCo”), GIBO Merger Sub 1 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub I”), GIBO Merger Sub 2 Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub II”), and Global IBO Group Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“GIBO”).

     

    Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into GIBO, with GIBO as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “First Merger”), and (ii) following the First Merger, Merger Sub I will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Second Merger,” and together with the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each of the Company and GIBO would become a subsidiary of PubCo, and the Company’s shareholders and GIBO’s shareholders (except certain shareholders of GIBO (such shareholders, the “Founders”)) would receive Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.000001 per share, of PubCo (“PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares”) and the Founders would receive Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.000001 per share, of PubCo (“PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares” and together with PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, “PubCo Ordinary Shares” ) as consideration and become the shareholders of PubCo. Each PubCo Class A Ordinary Share has one vote per share while each PubCo Class B Ordinary Share has one twenty (20) votes per share. Each PubCo Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one (1) PubCo Class A Ordinary Share at any time at the option of the holder thereof and PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares under any circumstances. The closing date of each of the First Merger and the Second Merger is hereinafter referred to as First Closing Date and the Second Closing Date respectively. The Company and GIBO expect PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC following the consummation of the Business Combination. The merger consideration for the Business Combination is $8.28 billion.

     

    Going Concern Consideration

     

    As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $15,265 and a working capital deficit of $1,647,964.

     

    The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the IPO had been satisfied through a payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the Founder Shares and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Sponsor of $433,508. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, the Company’s liquidity has been satisfied through the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account, $908,000 of Sponsor loans, and $700,000 of extension loans.

    Notes To Financial Statements

     

     

    The Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 2024, are not sufficient to complete its planned activities to consummate a business combination for the upcoming year. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and to incur significant transaction costs in pursuit of the consummation of a Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” management believes that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company’s board of directors would proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of the Company. There is no assurance that the Company’s plans to consummate a Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. As a result, management has determined that such additional conditions also raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management expects to obtain additional funds from related parties to provide the additional working capital necessary to carry out its objective to consummate a business combination. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

     

    Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

     

    Basis of Presentation

     

    The accompanying 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

     

    Emerging Growth Company Status

     

    The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart The Company’s 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 auditor 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 an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company 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 financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires 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 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 financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

    Notes To Financial Statements

     

     

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

     

    The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had $15,265 and $295,372 in cash and did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, $0 was over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limit.

     

    Furthermore, bank failures, non-performance, or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions could impair the ability of one or more of the banks participating in the credit facility from honoring their commitments. Such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

     

    Investments Held in Trust Account

     

    At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in BlackRock Liquidity Treasury Trust Fund, a money market mutual funds. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information. Income earned on these investments will be fully reinvested into the investments held in the Trust Account and therefore considered as an adjustment to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash used in operating activities in the statements of cash flows. Such income reinvested will be used to redeem all or a portion of the ordinary shares upon the completion of Business Combination. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were $2,388,838 and $1,521,739 of dividend income recognized, respectively.

     

    As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the assets held in the trust account was $32,819,527 and $59,884,239, respectively.

     

    Warrants

     

    The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

     

    For issued or modified warrants that meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time of issuance. As the Company’s warrants meet all the criteria for equity classification, so the Company will classify each warrant as its own equity.

     

    Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

     

    The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) 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 public shares feature certain redemption rights that are outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the Shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

    Notes To Financial Statements

     

     

    The Company has made a policy election in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A and to accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument, and recognizes changes in redemption value in additional paid-in capital (or accumulated deficit in the absence of additional paid-in capital) over an expected 12-month period leading up to a Business Combination. As of December 31, 2024, the Company recognized accumulated accretion of ordinary shares subject to redemption value of $10,248,360 with unrecognized accretion of $0 based on $58,362,500 ($10.15 per Public Unit) deposited into trust account upon IPO closing. In addition, the Company recognized $2,388,838 of dividend income earned from trust account and seven-month extensions of $700,000 as the additional accretion for the year ended December 31, 2024.

     

    Offering Costs

     

    The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs – SEC Materials” (“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs were $4,777,524 consisting principally of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses that are directly related to the IPO and charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO.

     

    Concentration of Credit Risk

     

    Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance 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.

     

    Furthermore, bank failures, non-performance, or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions could impair the ability of one or more of the banks participating in the credit facility from honoring their commitments. Such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

     

    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     

    ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

     

    The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

     

    ·

    Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

    ·

    Level 2 - Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.

    ·

    Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

    Income Taxes

     

    The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

     

    ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. The Company has identified Cayman Islands as its only “major” tax jurisdiction, as defined. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. Since the Company was incorporated on September 15, 2022, the evaluation was performed for 2023 and 2022 tax years which will be the only period subject to examination. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income tax expense.

     

    The Company may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws.

     

    The Company’s tax provision was deemed to be de minimis for the period presented. The Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States.

    Net income per Share

     

    The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has not considered the effect of the Warrants sold in the IPO to purchase an aggregate of 5,750,000 shares in the calculation of diluted net income per share, since the exercise of the Warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such Warrants would be anti-dilutive in period which the Company incurred net loss and the Company did not have any other dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic (income) loss per share for the period presented.

    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     

    In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments. These requirements include: (i) disclosure of significant expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”); (ii) disclosure of an amount for other segment items (equal to the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss) by reportable segment and a description of their composition; (iii) annual disclosure of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods; (iv) clarification that, if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report those additional measures of segment profit or loss; (v) disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources; and (vi) requiring a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU, and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in the year ended December 31, 2024, and applied the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

     

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

     

    Note 3 — Initial Public Offering

     

    On June 30, 2023, the Company consummated the IPO of 5,750,000 Public Units, (including 750,000 Public Units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option). Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share, one-half of one redeemable Warrant, and one Right to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share. Each whole redeemable Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Each Right entitles the holder thereof to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Unit, generating gross proceeds of $57,500,000.

    Notes To Financial Statements

     

     

    All of the 5,750,000 public shares sold as part of the Public Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or in connection with the Company’s liquidation. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

     

    The Company’s redeemable ordinary share is subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company has elected to accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance which is the IPO date. The accretion or remeasurement is treated as a deemed dividend (i.e., a reduction to retained earnings, or in absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in capital).

     

    As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the amount of ordinary shares reflected on the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table.

    Note 4 — Private Placement

     

    Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of 424,307 Private Placement Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $4,243,070. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one ordinary share, one-half of one whole warrant with each whole warrant to obtain one ordinary share and one right to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Public Units sold in the IPO. However, the holder of the Private Placement Units will be entitled to registration rights. In addition, the Private Placement Units and the underlying securities may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holder until after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

    Note 5 — Related Party Transactions

     

    Insider Shares

     

    On September 15, 2022, the Company issued 500,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each to the Sponsor. On November 16, 2022, the Sponsor acquired 1,437,500 insider shares for a purchase price of $25,000 and surrendered 500,000,000 ordinary shares. On June 30, 2023, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full, so there are no insider shares subject to forfeiture.

     

    Simultaneously with the effectiveness of the registration statement and prior to the closing of the IPO (including the full exercise of over-allotment option), the Sponsor transferred to the Company’s directors an aggregate of 23,000 insider shares , among which, 8,000 insider shares were transferred to Seck Chyn “Neil” Foo, and 5,000 insider shares were transferred to each of Bee Lian Ooi, Phui Lam Lee, and Suwardi Bin Hamzah Syakir, pursuant to a certain securities transfer agreement (the “Securities Transfer Agreement”) dated April 12, 2023.

     

    The transfer of the insider shares to the Company’s directors, as described above, is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, share-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 23,000 shares transferred to the Company’s directors was approximately $125,350 or $5.45 per share which was charged to statements of operations as a share-based compensation expense assuming the completion of business combination would be possibly occurred.

     

    The Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of the shares using Level 3 fair value measurements inputs at the measurement date:

     

    Time to expiration

     

     

    2.0

     

    Risk-free rate

    Due to Related Party

     

    On June 27, 2023, in connection with the IPO, the Company entered into an administrative service agreement with the Sponsor (the “Administrative Service Agreement”). Pursuant to the Administrative Service Agreement, the Company shall pay the Sponsor $10,000 per month (the “Administrative Service Fee”) from June 27, 2023, the date of the Company’s final prospectus for the IPO till the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or the Company’s liquidation. The Administrative Service Agreement provides that any unpaid amount of the Administrative Service Fee will accrue without interest and be due and payable no later than the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. On October 14, 2023, upon the approval of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of the Company, the Company and the Sponsor agreed to waive full payment of the Administrative Service Fee from the start date up to 12 months. The total of $120,000 has been waived including the accrued liabilities of $35,000 as of October 14, 2023 and the remaining commitment balance $85,000. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no balance payable in relations to the Administrative Service Agreement to the Sponsor.

     

    As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total amount due to related party were $ 30,524 and $ 38,676, respectively.

     

    Sponsor Loan

     

    On May 6, 2024 and July 16, 2024, the Company entered into two loan agreements with the Sponsor (the “Advance Agreements”). Pursuant to the Advance agreements, the Sponsor agreed to make an advance up to US$ 1,000,000). The loans are free of any interest and will be repaid upon demand.

     

    As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $ 908,000 and $ 0, respectively, owed under the Sponsor loan.

    Working Capital Loans

     

    In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. Any such loans would be on an interest-free basis and would be repaid only from funds held outside the trust account or from funds released to the Company upon completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit, at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the private units issued to the Sponsor. The Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Company’s trust account, but if the Company does, it will request such lender to provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the trust account.

The number of Units to be received by the Sponsor in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the Sponsor by (y) $10.00.

     

    As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had borrowings of $700,000 and $0, respectively, under the Sponsor Extension Notes from the Sponsor.

However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (1) in the case of the insider shares, (i) with respect to 50% of the insider shares, until the earlier to occur of six months after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the Company’s initial Business Combination and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the insider shares, six months after the date of the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the Company’s initial Business Combination, the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, and (2) in the case of the Private Placement Units and the securities underlying such units, until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

    As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 2,011,807 ordinary shares issued or outstanding respectively, excluding 2,929,515 and 5,750,000 shares subject to possible redemption Ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

    Notes To Financial Statements

     

     

    Warrants — Each whole public warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 30 days after the completion of an initial Business Combination and one year from the date that the registration statement is declared effective. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a public warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of ordinary share. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a public warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. The public warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

     

    As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, 2,875,000 public warrants were outstanding. Substantially concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company issued 212,153 private warrants to the Sponsor included in the Private Placement Units. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 212,153 private warrants issued and outstanding. The Company will account for warrants as equity instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, based on the specific terms of the warrant agreement.

     

    The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable after the closing of the initial Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file, and within 60 business days following the closing of the initial Business Combination to have declared effective, a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and , and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if the Company’s ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at the Company’s 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, and the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, and the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

     

    Once the warrants become exercisable (for both Public and Private Warrant), the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

     

     

    ●

    in whole and not in part;

     

     

     

     

    ●

    at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

     

     

     

     

    ●

    upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

     

     

     

     

    ●

    if, and only if, the closing price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $16.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “-Warrants-Public Shareholders’ Warrants-Anti-dilution Adjustments”) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders).

     

     

     

     

    ●

    if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the ordinary shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

    Note 8 — Segment information

     

    ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company has adopted the guidance in ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, in the accompanying financial statements using the retrospective method of adoption.

     

    The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CODM”), who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating and reportable segment.

     

    When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews several key metrics, which include the following:

    $1,058,806

     

     

    The key measures of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM are dividend income earned on investment in Trust Account and formation and operating expenses. The CODM reviews dividend income earned on investment in Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement. Within formation and operating costs, the CODM specifically reviews professional service fees in connection with the business combination, which are a significant segment expense, and include legal fees, and advisory fees, as these represent significant costs affecting the Company’s consummation of the Business Combination. Other formation and operating costs, including accounting expenses, printing expenses, and regulatory filing fees, are reviewed in aggregate to ensure alignment with budget and contractual obligations. These expenses are monitored to manage and forecast cash available to complete a business combination within the required period.

     

    Note 9 — Subsequent Events

     

    The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that these financial statements were issued. Based on this review, management identified the following subsequent events that are required disclosure in the financial statements:

     

    Monthly Extension Deposit and Notes

     

    In January, February and March, 2025, the Sponsor deposited an aggregate total of $300,000 into the Trust Account resulting the Company having until April 2025 to complete its initial business combination. The Company issued the Sponsor three unsecured promissory notes of an aggregate total of $300,000 (the “January, February, and March 2025 Extension Note”).

     

    Waiver of Closing Condition

     

    On March 1, 2025, the Company entered into a Waiver Letter Agreement with GIBO Holdings Limited and its affiliates to waive the Available Closing Cash condition under the Business Combination Agreement dated August 5, 2024. The waiver was approved by the Company’s board of directors and is intended to facilitate the closing of the Business Combination without requiring a minimum cash threshold, while all other terms of the agreement remain unchanged. 

     

    Amendment to Business Combination Agreement and Consent to Share Transfers

     

    On March 3, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the Business Combination Agreement to revise the definition of “Company Founders” to include transferees of founder shares following share transfers after the agreement date, and concurrently consented to such transfers pursuant to the Company Shareholder Support Agreement. These actions, approved by the Company’s board of directors, are intended to support the continued progress of the Business Combination without material impact to its terms.

     

    Amendment to Underwriting Agreement

     

    On April 4, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to its Underwriting Agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners to reduce the deferred underwriting commission from 2% to 1.6% of the gross proceeds of its public offering, lowering the deferred commission from $1,000,000 to $800,000 for Firm Units. The amendment was approved by the Company’s board of directors and is expected to enhance liquidity following the Business Combination without affecting other terms of the underwriting arrangement.
