SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of accounting The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars unless otherwise stated. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BGL and its subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Foreign currency translation and transactions BGL’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of each entity in the group is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded into functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured to the functional currency at exchange rates that prevailed on the date of inception of the transaction. BGL translates the financial statements from the local (functional) currency into US Dollars using the year or reporting period end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 830-10, Foreign Currency Matters (“ASC 830-10”). Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Expenses are translated at average rates in effect for the periods presented. Translation gains and losses resulting from re-measurement from functional to reporting currency are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as a component of shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity are included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. BGL, through its subsidiary BGBPL, holds certain long-lived assets in Ghana including the mineral assets. Ghana has experienced economic instability and the Ghanian government has implemented various monetary policies. Ghana has also experienced high rates of inflation over the past several years. BGL applies hyper-inflationary accounting to Ghana in accordance with the guidelines in ASC 830, “Foreign Currency.” A hyper-inflationary economy designation occurs when a country has experienced cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over a 3-year period. The hyper-inflationary designation requires the local subsidiary in Ghana to record all transactions as if they were denominated in U.S. dollars. The subsidiary in Ghana has not generated revenue through the date of this report and total net currency exchange losses were not significant. Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, valuation of mineral rights, valuation of royalty liabilities, contingent consideration, reserve volumes and future net revenues associated with mine resources and the asset retirement obligations. The Life of Mine model (“LoM”), which has been used as the basis for calculating the mineral rights value and the royalty liability value is prepared to a Scoping Study level. The LoM is preliminary in nature and there is a high degree of uncertainty over the assumptions made. The LoM is solely based on Measured and Indicated Resources which are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would allow them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the LoM will be realized. Segment Information ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. BGL’s CODM is the chief executive officer, who has ultimate responsibility for the operating performance of BGL and the allocation of resources. The CODM reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for BGL as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is only one reportable segment. The CODM assesses performance for the single reportable segment and decides how to allocate resources based on operating expenses that also is reported on the statement of operations as net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. When evaluating BGL’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation, the CODM reviews several key metrics included in operating expenses and cash and cash equivalents. Operating expenses, inclusive of general and administrative costs and sales and marketing costs, are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to fund operations. The CODM also reviews operating expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and the budget. The categories of operating expenses, as reported on the statement of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis. Concentration of Risk BGL’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash. BGL places its cash with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. BGL’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any party to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited. Cash and cash equivalents Cash is comprised of cash in the bank which is subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. BGL considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash amounted to $307,699 and $170,557, respectively. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Property, Plant and Equipment The value of property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”), including land, buildings and processing equipment, that were acquired as part of the Asset Acquisition (See Note 6) are recorded at a relative fair value assessed at the time of the acquisition less depreciation. Any additional PPE acquired, and any expenditures that extend the life of such assets are recorded at historical cost, including direct acquisition costs, less depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Capital work in progress is recorded at cost less impairment losses but is not depreciated until it is in use and transferred into other PPE classifications. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to BGL and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation Depreciation for mobile equipment and other assets is computed using the straight-line method at rates calculated to depreciate the cost of the assets, less their anticipated residual values, if any, over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Vehicles |  | 5 years |
Other Equipment |  | 2 years |
Computer and accessories |  | 2 years |
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss. BGL evaluates the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets whenever a change in circumstances indicates that the net carrying value may not be recoverable from the entity-specific undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from our use of and eventual disposition of a long-lived asset or asset group. Events or circumstances that could trigger an impairment review of a long-lived asset or asset group include, but are not limited to: (i) a significant decrease in the market price of the asset, (ii) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner that the asset is used or in its physical condition, (iii) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset, (iv) an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of original expectation for the acquisition or construction of the asset, (v) a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset and (vi) a more-likely-than-not expectation that the asset will be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. If an impairment exists, the net carrying values are reduced to fair values. BGL estimates the fair values of these long-lived assets by performing a discounted future cash flow analysis for the remaining useful life of the asset, or the remaining useful life of the primary asset in the case of an asset group. An individual asset within an asset group is not impaired below its estimated fair value. There were no impairments recorded as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Mineral Rights and Amortization Amortization of Mineral Rights (“Mine Properties”), buildings, leasehold land and plant and machinery (collectively the “mineral assets”) is provided for using the unit-of-production method with separate calculations made for each mineral resource. The calculation of the units-of-production rate of amortization could be impacted to the extent that actual production in the future differs from current forecasted production resulting in possible revision to the estimate of total resources to be produced. The carrying values of the mineral rights are assessed for impairment by management on an annual basis (while under development) or when indicators of impairment exist. BGL compares the carrying value of the mine assets to its estimates of undiscounted future cash flows from the underlying resources. Should management determine that these carrying values cannot be recovered, the carrying value is compared to an estimate of fair value and the unrecoverable amounts are written off against earnings and cannot be subsequently reversed. As of June 30, 2025, as the lease termination and ensuing dispute (as described more fully in Note 15) represented a triggering event, in accordance with ASC 360, BGL compared the undiscounted cash flows of the long-lived asset group to their carrying amounts which determined there was no impairment required. Mineral Exploration Rights and Costs, Exploration, Evaluation and Development Expenditures Exploration costs, which include maintenance, development and exploration of mineral claims, are expensed as incurred. When it is determined that a mineral deposit can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves and all regulatory operating permits have been secured, the costs incurred after such determination will be capitalized until the commencement of production and amortized over their useful lives. To date, BGL has not established commercial feasibility and received the necessary regulatory operating permits for any of its exploration prospects; therefore, all exploration costs are expensed. Asset Retirement Obligation BGL follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), which established a uniform methodology for accounting for estimated reclamation and abandonment costs. FASB ASC 410 requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recognized in the period in which the legal obligation associated with the retirement of the long-lived asset is incurred or when acquired. When the liability is initially recorded, the offset is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its future value each period and charged to accretion expense, and the initial capitalized cost is amortized over the useful life of the related asset. To settle the liability, the obligation is paid, and to the extent there is a difference between the liability and the amount of cash paid, a gain or loss upon settlement is recorded. Convertible Notes Payable BGL and its subsidiary may enter into convertible notes, some of which contain fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted by the holder into common shares at a fixed rate at the time of conversion. This results in a fair value of the convertible note being equal to a fixed monetary amount. BGL records the convertible note liability at its fixed monetary amount on the issuance date and interest expense charged over the outstanding period of the note. Business Combination and Asset acquisition BGL applies a screen test to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets to determine whether a transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination. When an acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination because either: (i) substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset, or group of similar identified assets, or (ii) the acquired entity does not have an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, BGL accounts for the acquisition as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, goodwill is not recognized, but rather, any excess purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated on a relative fair value basis to the identifiable net assets as of the acquisition date and any direct acquisition-related transaction costs are capitalized as part of the purchase consideration. When an acquisition is accounted for as a business combination, BGL recognizes and measures the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, while transaction and integration costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the purchase consideration in excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill. For material acquisitions, BGL engages independent appraisers to assist with the determination of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interest, if any, and goodwill, based on recognized business valuation methodologies. An income, market or cost valuation method may be utilized to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if any, in a business combination. The income valuation method represents the present value of future cash flows over the life of the asset using discrete financial forecasts, long-term growth rates, appropriate discount rates, and expected future capital requirements. The market valuation method uses prices paid for a similar asset by other purchasers in the market, normalized for any differences between the assets. The cost valuation method is based on the replacement cost of a comparable asset at the time of the acquisition adjusted for depreciation and economic and functional obsolescence of the asset. The fair value of property, plant and mine development is estimated to include the fair value of asset retirement costs of related long-lived tangible assets. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, BGL may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. After the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the period the adjustment arises. Fair Value Measurement As defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date (exit price). BGL utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that participants used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives us the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement. Level 1: Quoted prices are available in an active market for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting data. Active markets are those in which transactions for the assets or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities. Level 2:Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Subsequently all these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supposed by observable level at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, option and collar. Level 3: Pricing inputs includes significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. The fair value of cash, prepaid expenses and other assets, advances to related parties, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and due to related parties approximates their carrying values due to their relatively short maturities. The royalty payable, contingent consideration payable and the asset retirement obligation were recorded at fair value as of the closing date of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement using level 3 inputs (Note 14). Income Taxes BGL accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. BGL has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented. As of June 30, 2025, a valuation allowance has been recorded for the full value of its net deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty as to the future recoverability until such time that taxable income is reasonably assured. Warrants The Company reviews the terms of warrants to purchase its Ordinary Shares to determine whether warrants should be classified as liabilities or stockholders’ deficit in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. In order for a warrant to be classified in stockholders’ deficit, the warrant must be (i) indexed to the Company’s equity and (ii) meet the conditions for equity classification. If a warrant does not meet the conditions for stockholders’ deficit classification, it is carried on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a warrant liability measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in the fair value of the warrant recorded in other non-operating losses (gains) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. If a warrant meets both conditions for equity classification, the warrant is initially recorded, at its relative fair value on the date of issuance, in stockholders’ deficit in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the amount initially recorded is not subsequently remeasured at fair value. Net Loss Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding at the end of the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common shares to the extent dilutive. For the six months ending June 30, 2025, the Company’s diluted weighted-average shares outstanding is equal to basic weighted-average shares, due to the Company’s net loss position. Hence, no common shares equivalents were included in the computation of diluted net loss per unit since such inclusion would have been antidilutive. At June 30, 2025, potentially dilutive securities include the public warrants. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations, and improvements to existing standards have been published by the FASB and United States Securities and Exchange Commission but are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by BGL. BGL does not anticipate that any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. | 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of accounting The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these accompanying notes to the financial statements are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. There were no significant estimates of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash is comprised of cash in the bank which is subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cash amounted to $0. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Related Party Transactions The Company enters into transactions in the normal course of business with related parties. Related party transactions are accounted for in accordance with ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures. Amounts paid by related parties on behalf of the Company are recognized as expenses in the accompanying statements of operations with a corresponding liability recorded in due to related party in the accompanying balance sheets. Advances or amounts due to related parties are generally unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand, unless otherwise specified. Business Combination When an acquisition does not meet the definition of a business combination because either: (i) substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset, or group of similar identified assets, or (ii) the acquired entity does not have an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, the Company accounts for the acquisition as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, goodwill is not recognized, but rather, any excess purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired is allocated on a relative fair value basis to the identifiable net assets as of the acquisition date and any direct acquisition-related transaction costs are capitalized as part of the purchase consideration. When an acquisition is accounted for as a business combination, the Company recognizes and measures the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, while transaction and integration costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the purchase consideration in excess of the aggregate fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, if any, is recorded as goodwill. For material acquisitions, the Company engages independent appraisers to assist with the determination of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interest, if any, and goodwill, based on recognized business valuation methodologies. An income, market or cost valuation method may be utilized to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest, if any, in a business combination. The income valuation method represents the present value of future cash flows over the life of the asset using discrete financial forecasts, long-term growth rates, appropriate discount rates, and expected future capital requirements. The market valuation method uses prices paid for a similar asset by other purchasers in the market, normalized for any differences between the assets. The cost valuation method is based on the replacement cost of a comparable asset at the time of the acquisition adjusted for depreciation and economic and functional obsolescence of the asset. The fair value of property, plant and mine development is estimated to include the fair value of asset retirement costs of related long-lived tangible assets. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. After the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the period the adjustment arises. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock of the Company outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potential shares of common stock, including preferred stock and convertible notes, to the extent dilutive. There were no potential dilutive common stock equivalents for the year ended December 31, 2024. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Accounting Standards The Company is expected to be 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 Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards and to adopt certain of the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. As a result of the accounting standards election, the Company will not be subject to the same implementation timeline for new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies which may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements to those of other public companies more difficult.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Line Items] |  |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |  | Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Blue Gold Limited. There has been no intercompany activity since inception. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, valuation of the warrant liability and the derivative liability. 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 and cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Cash Held in Trust Account On November 21, 2023, the Company liquidated the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the funds in the Trust Account were maintained in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination and liquidation. Prior to November 21, 2023, the Company’s portfolio of investments was comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The change in fair value of these securities is included in income from investments held in the Trust Account in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. 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 limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the warrants and redeemable shares. Fair Value Measurement ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used to measure investments at fair value. The observability of inputs is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment, characteristics specific to the investment, market conditions and other factors. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Investments with readily available quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from quoted prices in active markets will typically have a higher degree of input observability and a lesser degree of judgment applied in determining fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are as follows:
| ● | Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date are used.
| ● | Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the investment, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 pricing inputs include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the investment, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
| ● | Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs used in determination of fair value require significant judgment and estimation.
In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the investment is categorized in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the investment. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the valuation of an investment in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the perceived risk of that investment. See Note 6 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Warrant Liabilities The Company evaluated the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, “Warrant Securities”) in accordance with ASC 815-40, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” and concluded that the Warrant Securities could not be accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrant Securities meet the definition of a derivative in accordance with ASC 815, the Warrant Securities are recorded as warrant liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value at inception (the Closing Date) and remeasured at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period of change. Convertible Senior Secured Promissory Note The Company evaluated the Convertible Senior Secured Promissory Note (“Blue Capital Note”) in accordance with ASC 815-15, “Derivatives and Hedging” and concluded that with the exception of the Private Placement Warrants feature for which the fair value of the embedded derivative feature was bifurcated, the remaining debt proceeds received have been allocated to the debt host at Par (i.e., recorded at proceeds received). Pursuant to ASC 470, the Company recorded the fair value of the embedded derivative feature on the consolidated balance sheets using the relative fair value method and the related amortization of the debt discount on its consolidated statements of operations. The Blue Capital Note and the corresponding embedded derivative feature was recorded as convertible senior secured promissory note and derivative liability, respectively, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Due to the Cancellation Agreement entered into on September 26, 2024, the derivative liability in connection with the Blue Capital Note was terminated. See Note 7. Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption All of the 23,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contained a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with a Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with SEC staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Such changes are reflected in additional paid-in capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in capital, in retained earnings. At December 31, 2024 and 2023 the Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares reflected in the consolidated balance sheets is reconciled in the following table:
Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption at December 31, 2022 |  | $ | 237,941,214 |
Less: |  |  |  |
Redemption of Redeemable Class A Ordinary Shares |  |  | (195,400,571 | )

Income Taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2024 or 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. There is currently no taxation imposed by the Government of the Cayman Islands. The Company has no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Stock Compensation Expense The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. To the extent a stock-based award is subject to a performance condition, the amount of expense recorded in a given period, if any, reflects an assessment of the probability of achieving such performance condition, with compensation recognized once the event is deemed probable to occur. The fair value of equity awards has been estimated using a market approach. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred. The Company’s Founder Shares transferred to incoming directors and management (see Note 3) were deemed to be within the scope of ASC 718, “Stock Compensation”, and are subject to a performance condition, namely the occurrence of a Business Combination. Compensation expense related to the Founder Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence, or more specifically when a Business Combination is consummated. Therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized during the period ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The unrecognized compensation expense related to the Founder Shares at December 31, 2024 was $2,612,244 and will be recorded when the performance condition occurs. Recent Accounting Standards Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose 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. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share The Company’s consolidated statements of operations include a presentation of net (loss) income per share for redeemable ordinary shares in a manner similar to the two-class method in calculating net (loss) income per ordinary share. Net (loss) income per ordinary share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable ordinary shares is computed by dividing the pro rata net income between the Class A redeemable ordinary share and the non-redeemable ordinary share by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period, adjusted for the effects of deemed dividend under the assumption that they represent dividends to the holders of Class A redeemable ordinary shares. Net (loss) income per non-redeemable ordinary shares, basic and diluted is computed by dividing the pro rata net income between the Class A redeemable ordinary share and the non-redeemable ordinary share by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. With respect to the accretion of ordinary shares subject to possible redemption and consistent with ASC 480-10-99-3A, “Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity-Overall-SEC Materials,” the Company treated accretion in the same manner as a dividend, paid to the shareholder in the calculation of the net (loss) income per ordinary share.

The calculation of diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Public Offering since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. For the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive warrants, securities or other contracts that could potentially be exercised or converted into ordinary shares. A reconciliation of net (loss) income per ordinary share as adjusted for the portion of net (loss) income that is attributable to ordinary shares subject to redemption is as follows:
|  | For the Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
