Representations and Warranties; Covenants
The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the Parties that are customary for transactions of this nature. The representations and warranties of the Parties will not survive the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”). The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the Parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the Parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly, and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the Parties rather than establishing matters as facts. The Company does not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.
Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations
The Merger Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions by the Parties thereto, including, among others:

Liquidity and Going Concern
At June 30, 2024, the Company had $
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans and while the Company believes it has sufficient access to additional sources of capital, if necessary, there are no assurances that such additional capital will ultimately be available. In addition, the Company currently has less than 12 months from the date these financial statements were issued to complete a Business Combination and if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an Initial Business Combination, it is required to liquidate and dissolve. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern”, management has determined that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As is customary for a special purpose acquisition company, if the Company is not able to consummate a Business Combination during the combination period, it will cease all operations and redeem the Public Shares. Management plans to continue its efforts to consummate a Business Combination during the combination period.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 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 stockholder 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 an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.
The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company 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 the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of 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. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially
subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed
the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $
Net (Loss) Income Per Common Stock
Net (loss) income per common stock is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating net (loss) income per common stock. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from (loss) income per common stock as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480. Shares of common stock subject to redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including shares of common stock 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, shares of common
stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered
to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. The valuation of common stock subject
to redemption includes the Company’s estimate of interest held in the Trust Account that is available for payment of taxes, and

Warrant Liabilities
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 ASC 480, Distinguished 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, 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, 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 of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 8) and Private Placement Warrants was determined based on the closing price of the Public Warrants.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature. The Company applies ASC 820, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within the framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued offering costs, investments held in trust account, and due to related party approximate fair value due to short-term nature.
Level 1—Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3—Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.
See Note 8 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
Stock-based Compensation
The transfer of the Founder Shares to independent directors is in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 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. The Founders Shares were granted subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the Founders Shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. As of the date the financial statements were issued, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable (i.e., upon completion of a Business Combination) in an amount equal to the number of Founders Shares that ultimately vest multiplied times the grant date fair value per share (uncles subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the Founders Shares.
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 financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted
tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company’s effective tax rate
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was
While ASC 740 identifies usage of an effective annual tax rate for purposes of an interim provision, it does allow for estimating individual elements in the current period if they are significant, unusual or infrequent. Computing the effective tax rate for the Company is complicated due to the potential impact of the Company’s change in fair value of warrants (or any other change in fair value of a complex financial instrument), the timing of any potential Business Combination expenses and the actual interest income that will be recognized during the year. The Company has taken a position as to the calculation of income tax expense in a current period based on ASC 740-270-25-3 which states, “If an entity is unable to estimate a part of its ordinary income (or loss) or the related tax (benefit) but is otherwise able to make a reasonable estimate, the tax (or benefit) applicable to the item that cannot be estimated shall be reported in the interim period in which the item is reported.” The Company believes its calculation to be a reliable estimate and allows it to properly take into account the usual elements that can impact its annualized book income and its impact on the effective tax rate. As such, the Company is computing its taxable income and associated income tax provision based on actual results through June 30, 2024.
ASC
Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not
to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the United States is the Company’s
only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits and underpaid
income taxes as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and the Company
recognized $
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which will require the company to disclose specified additional information in its income tax rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 will also require the company to disaggregate its income taxes paid disclosure by federal, state and foreign taxes, with further disaggregation required for significant individual jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for Annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The company is still reviewing the impact of ASU 2023-09.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined.
In April 2024, the Treasury issued proposed regulations providing guidance with respect to the Excise Tax. Taxpayers may rely on these proposed regulations until final regulations are issued. Under the proposed regulations, liquidating distributions made by publicly traded domestic corporations are exempt from the Excise Tax. In addition, any redemptions that occur in the same taxable year as a liquidation is completed will also be exempt from such tax.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s Public Warrants were traded on a market exchange. At December 31, 2023, the Company utilized quoted active market exchange trade pricing to value the Public Warrants (Level 1 inputs). At March 31, 2024, the Company utilized quoted market exchange trade pricing to value the Public Warrants. However, due to insufficient trading activity, these valuations could not be classified as Level 1 and were thus reclassified as (Level 2). As of June 30, 2024, there was still insufficient trading activity for the Company to utilize the market exchange to determine the fair value of the Public Warrants. Consequently, the Company utilized an independent third party to value the Public Warrants using a binomial options pricing model, which involves Level 3 inputs.
At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company utilized an independent third party to value the Private Placement Warrants with a binomial options pricing model (Level 3 inputs).
Inherent in a binomial options pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield and probability of consummating a Business Combination. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the Public and Private Placement Warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References in this report (the “Quarterly Report”) to “we” “us” or the “Company” refer to Integrated Rail and Resources Acquisition Corp. References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and references to the “Sponsor” refer to DHIP Natural Resources Investments, LLC. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Overview
We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware Corporation on March 12, 2021 (inception) formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash derived from the proceeds of our initial public offering in March 12, 2021 (the “Initial Public Offering” or “IPO”) and the sale of the 9,400,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Sponsor, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
Trust Extensions
Initially, the Company had 12 months from the closing of the IPO on November 16, 2021 to consummate an initial Business Combination (until November 16, 2022). Additionally, the Company was entitled to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to two times by an additional three months each time (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a Business Combination) by depositing into the Trust Account maintained by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, an amount of $0.10 per unit sold to the public in the IPO, $2,300,000, for each such three-month extension (that would result in a total deposit of $10.30 per public share sold in the event both extensions were elected or an aggregate of $4,600,000). Public stockholders were not entitled to vote on or redeem their shares in connection with any such extension.
In November 2022, the Sponsor deposited $2,300,000 into the Trust Account, to extend the deadline for an initial Business Combination three months to February 2023. In lieu of a second $2,300,000 extension payment for a three month extension to May 2023, a special meeting of stockholders was held in February 2023 that resulted in an extension of the deadline to complete an initial Business Combination to March 15, 2023 and allowed the Company to further extend the date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to five (5) times by an additional one month through September 15, 2023.
In connection with the vote on the extension Amendment at the Special Meeting, stockholders holding a total of 9,155,918 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $94,489,075 (approximately $10.32 per share) was withdrawn from the Trust Account to pay such holders in February 2023.
On August 8, 2023, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders whereby the stockholders approved the second extension amendment proposal permitting an extension of the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination until February 15, 2024, subject to monthly extension deposits of $140,000, which were made in August 2023 through January 2024.
In connection with the vote on the extension Amendment at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, stockholders holding a total of 7,354,836 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $79,652,874 (approximately $10.83 per share) was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders.
27
On February 12, 2024 at a special meeting in lieu of an annual meetings of stockholders of the Company (the “February 2024 Special Meeting”), stockholders approved a third extension Amendment Proposal (the “Third Extension Amendment Proposal”) to extend the date by which the Company must (1) effectuate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses (an “initial Business Combination”), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such initial business combination, and (3) redeem 100% of the Company’s Class A common stock included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on November 16, 2021 (the “IPO”), from February 15, 2024 to March 15, 2024, by depositing (or causing to be deposited) into the trust account (the “Trust Account”) $50,000 for such one-month extension, and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to further extend such date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to eight (8) times by an additional one (1) month each time, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), until November 15, 2024, or a total of up to nine (9) months after February 15, 2024 (such date as extended, the “Deadline Date”), by depositing (or causing to be deposited) into the Trust Account $50,000 for each additional one- month extension on or prior to each applicable Deadline Date, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto.
In connection with the vote on the third extension amendment proposal at the February 2024 Special Meeting, stockholders holding a total of 4,573,860 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised their right to redeem such shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company’s Trust Account. As a result, $50,312,460 (approximately $11.00 per share) was removed from the Company’s Trust Account to pay such holders. In association with the February 2024 redemptions, the Company inadvertently underpaid the redeeming shareholders $395,138 or approximately $0.09 per share. On September 24, 2024, the February 2024 redeeming shareholders were paid the additional $395,138 due them. Following the Company’s redemptions, the Company has an aggregate of 7,665,386 Class A and Class B Common Stock shares outstanding.
Since its first extension deposit in the Trust Account in November 2022 to the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company has deposited an aggregate of $3,310,000 in the Trust Account to extend the period to consummate a Business Combination to November 15, 2024 including $150,000 and $390,000, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. No deposits were made in the Trust Account for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
Promissory Notes
On February 8, 2024, the Company issued an additional unsecured promissory note to Trident Point 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Company is entitled to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $750,000 from the Lender in order to fund costs reasonably related to an initial business combination for the Company, including without limitation both the daily operations of the Corporation prior to an initial business combination and potential monthly extensions to the time period for the Corporation to enter into and complete an initial business combination. No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Promissory Note. All unpaid principal under the Promissory Note will be due and payable in full on the earlier of (i) November 15, 2024 or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination.
NYSE Delisting
On March 11, 2024, the Company, received correspondence from the staff of NYSE Regulation (the “Staff”) of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) indicating that the Staff has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, units, each consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each warrant exercisable for one share of Class A common stock of the Company and Warrants from the NYSE pursuant to Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual because the Company had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring a listed acquisition company to maintain an average aggregate global market capitalization attributable to its publicly-held shares over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $40,000,000.
On March 11, 2024 the Company’s securities were delisted from the NYSE and effective March 12, 2024, the Company’s securities were available for trading in the over-the-counter (OTC Pink) market.

Representations and Warranties; Covenants
The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the Parties that are customary for transactions of this nature. The representations and warranties of the Parties will not survive the closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”). The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the Parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the Parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly, and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the Parties rather than establishing matters as facts. The Company does not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.
Conditions to Each Party’s Obligations
The Merger Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions by the Parties thereto, including, among others:

The Sponsor and its affiliates have specially appeared to dispute specific personal jurisdiction, and all defendants, including the Company, vehemently dispute liability and intend to vigorously defend against Tyr Energy’s claims.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through June 30, 2024 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering and an initial Business Combination, described below. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the initial Public Offering. We have incurred increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence and other expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we had a net loss of $1,040,084, which consisted of a loss on the change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,003,200, operating costs of $213,679, and a provision for income taxes of $95,209, partially offset by interest and income earned on cash and investment in the Trust Account of $272,004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash used in operating activities was $433,026. Net income of $1,252,442 was affected by a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities of $1,045,000, and interest from cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $946,259. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $305,791 of cash for operating activities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $1,191,833.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Cash used in financing activities was affected by proceeds from a note payable from sponsor and related party of the Company for $3,461,020 and $600,000, respectively and a payment to redeeming shareholders for $94,489,075.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company withdrew an aggregate of $224,454,409 for payment to redeeming stockholders. At June 30, 2024, the fair value of the investments held in the Trust Account was $23,672,081 as recognized on the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, the Company withdrew funds for payment to redeeming stockholders totaling $174,141,949. At December 31, 2023, the fair value of the investments held in the Trust Account was $72,731,536 as recognized on the balance sheet.
We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, which interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete a Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a 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. During the period ended June 30, 2024, the Company made $83,253 withdrawals of interest earned in the Trust Account to pay taxes.
At June 30, 2024, we had cash of $1,126 held outside of the Trust Account, advances from related parties for $100,770 used for working capital purposes, a Note Payable due to the Sponsor of the Company for $5,243,225 for extension purposes, a Note Payable due to a related party used for working capital purposes of $950,710 and an additional working capital loan due to the Sponsor of the Company for $17,935. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
The Company will need to raise additional funds to meet the expenditures required for operating its business as it currently has insufficient funds available to operate the business prior to the initial Business Combination. If the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination due to insufficient available funds, it will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account.
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans and while the Company believes it has sufficient access to additional sources of capital, there are no assurances that such additional capital will ultimately be available. In addition, the Company currently has less than 12 months from the date these financial statements were issued to complete a Business Combination and if the Company is unsuccessful in consummating an initial Business Combination, it is required to liquidate and dissolve. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern”, management has determined that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As is customary for a special purpose acquisition company, if the Company is not able to consummate a Business Combination during the combination period, it will cease all operations and redeem the Public Shares. Management plans to continue its efforts to consummate a Business Combination during the combination period.
Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2024. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations
During the period ended June 30, 2024, we had a promissory note with a related party for $950,710 to fund working capital. Additionally, at June 30, 2024 we owed an affiliate of the Sponsor $5,243,225 to fund costs related to the extension of the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended on February 9, 2023, August 8, 2023 and February 12, 2024). We also have an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, secretarial, and administrative services provided to the Company (except where waived, as described above under Item 1 Business—Sources of Target Businesses and elsewhere in this report). We will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation.
The underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or approximately $8.1 million. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Warrant Liabilities
In determining the fair value of the Warrants assumptions related to market activity, expected share-price volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate are utilized. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The fair value of the warrant liabilities is subject to change in future periods based on assumption changes including discount rates and volatility of our stock price.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, Distinguished Liabilities from Equity. Common stock subject to redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock 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, common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. As of June 30, 2024, 1,915,386 Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of June 30, 2024, we were not subject to any market or interest rate risk. The net proceeds held in the Trust Account have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills, notes or bonds with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in certain money market funds that invest solely in U.S. treasuries. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.
ITEM 4. 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective due to the inadequate controls around the calculation of amounts due and payment of funds from the Trust Account to redeeming shareholders. A material weakness, as defined in the SEC regulations, is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In light of this material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Management plans to remediate the material weakness by enhancing our control process around the calculation of amounts due to and payment of funds from the Trust Account to redeeming shareholders. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and these initiatives may not ultimately have the intended effects.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
