Overview We are a blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 8, 2021 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Units, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt. We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Ltd., a private company limited by shares incorporated in Singapore, with company registration 201810204D (“AUM”). 30 The Business Combination Agreement was subsequently amended on February 10, 2023, March 30, 2023 and April 19, 2023. On January 27, 2023, AUM Biosciences Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Holdco”), AUM Biosciences Subsidiary Pte.

The Business Combination Agreement would have provided, subject to its terms and conditions, for the initial business combination of the Company (the “Business Combination”).

Since the Company did not complete its initial business combination by November 12, 2024, the Company did not comply with IM-5101-2, and its securities are now delisted.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 205,000 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor generating gross proceeds of $2,050,000. On November 18, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in an additional 900,000 Units issued for an aggregate amount of $9,000,000. In connection with the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also consummated the sale of an additional 18,000 Private Units at $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $180,000. A net total of $9,000,000 was deposited into the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $69,000,000. Following the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Units, a total of $69,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred transactions costs amounting to $5,090,361 consisting of $1,380,000 of underwriting fees, $2,070,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $1,640,361 of other offering costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $243,610. Net loss of $108,797 was affected by interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $14,898 and gain on extinguishment of liability of $100,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $19,915 of cash for operating activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $321,337.

As of June 30, 2026, we had investments held in the Trust Account of $855,537 (including $94,271 of interest income, net of withdrawals) consisting of money market funds with a maturity of 185 days or less. Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we have not withdrawn any of the interest earned on the Trust Account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less income taxes payable), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash of $18,299 held outside the Trust Account for general working capital purposes. In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. On February 15, 2023, the Company issued a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 (the “Note”) to the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Note, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate amount of $300,000 that is due and payable upon the Company’s consummation of an initial Business Combination with a target business. The Note will either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, or, at the Sponsor’s discretion, converted upon consummation of the Company’s Business Combination into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. The loan will be forgiven, except to the extent of any funds held outside of the trust account, by the Sponsor or its affiliates if the Company is unable to consummate an initial Business Combination during the Combination Period. On May 16, 2023, the Company and the Sponsor entered into an amendment to the Note, pursuant to which the Note and the forgiveness term was extended from May 16, 2023 to November 16, 2025.

If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Going Concern In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until November 16, 2026 to consummate the proposed Business Combination, provided that the Company deposits into the Trust Account an amount equal to $0.10 per outstanding Public Share for each three-month extension commencing on November 17, 2023. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate the proposed Business Combination by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after November 16, 2026. The Company intends to complete the proposed Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by November 16, 2026. 38 Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2026. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets. Contractual Obligations We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor, affiliates, or advisors a total of up to $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, out of pocket expenses, and secretarial and administrative support. The arrangement will terminate upon the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination or its liquidation. The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.30 per unit, or $2,070,000 in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Critical Accounting Estimates Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. As of the end of the reporting period, we have not identified any critical accounting estimates. Critical Accounting Policies Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption We account for our Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Common Stock (including Common Stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Common Stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our Common Stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the Common Stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed balance sheets. 39 Net Income (Loss) per Common Share We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per redeemable public share and income (loss) per non-redeemable share following the two-class method of income (loss) per share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the public redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, we first considered the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares. This is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the common shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to our public stockholders. Subsequent to calculating the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares, we split the amount to be allocated using a ratio of 3% for the Public Shares and 97% for the non-redeemable shares for the period ended June 30, 2026 and 3% for the Public Shares and 97% for the non-redeemable shares for the period ended June 30, 2025, reflective of the respective participation rights. As of June 30, 2026, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common shares and then share in our earnings. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the periods presented. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and for all other entities after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management is currently assessing the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its unaudited condensed financial statements and disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASU 2025-01). The guidance requires disclosures about specific expense categories, including but not limited to, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and selling expenses. The ASU is effective in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company’s management is currently assessing the effect that adoption of this guidance will have on its unaudited condensed financial statements and disclosures. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.
