Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||
Basis of Presentation and principles of consolidation | Basis of Presentation and principles of consolidation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statement and notes thereto included in the Company’s audited financial statements filed with the Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form S-4/A (Registration No. 333-283119) on May 12, 2025. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|||||||||
Emerging Growth Company | Emerging Growth Company: The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as to those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. |
|||||||||
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates: The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated 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. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. 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. The Company’s most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the estimation of the allowance for credit losses, fair value of the July Investment Agreement Derivative and the fair value of the CPU Share Allocation Obligation, which includes the post-money valuation of the Company, (see Note 8), and the valuation of its cancelled liability-classified share-based payment transaction (see Note 10). These estimates are based on assumptions which management believes are reasonable. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates. |
|||||||||
Foreign currency translation and transactions | Foreign currency translation and transactions: The Company’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. The Company translates the financial statements from the local (functional) currency into U.S. dollars using the year or reporting period end or average exchange rates in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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. The effects of translating financial statements from functional currency to reporting currency are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as a component of member’s equity. For the three months ended March 31 2025, there were no translation gains or losses recognized. Gains and losses resulting from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity are included in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of operations using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. |
|||||||||
Segment Information | 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. The Company’s CODM is the managing member, who has ultimate responsibility for the operating performance of the Company and the allocation of resources. The CODM reviews the assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company 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 are 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 the Company’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 until the Business Combination closes. The CODM also reviews operating expenses to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and 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. |
|||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. |
|||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution and notes receivables. Cash accounts in a financial institution may at times exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation limit. The amounts over these insured limits as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $3,468,764 and $2,364,710, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account. The Company is subject to potential credit risk related to business, economic and financial market conditions that affect entities it has advanced amounts to which has been heightened as a result of recent economic and financial market conditions, including in connection with the uncertainties and challenges in the overall economy, including, among other things, inflationary pressure and increased interest rates. Certain entities that have received advances from the Company have experienced significant financial difficulties (including bankruptcy), and others may experience financial difficulties in the future. These difficulties expose the Company to increased risk related to collectability. |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: | Fair Value of Financial Instruments: ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Inputs based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are both unobservable for the asset and liability in the market and significant to the overall fair value measurement. An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following techniques noted in ASC 820:
The Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, however the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. The Company’s financial instruments with a carrying value that approximates fair value consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid and other current assets, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses because of the short-term nature or expected settlement dates of these instruments. The Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of money market funds, the July Investment Agreement Derivative (see Note 8), the Convertible Preferred Unit Share Allocation Obligation (see Note 8), and liability-classified share-based payment transactions (see Note 10). |
|||||||||
Notes Receivable | Notes Receivable: Notes receivable consists of secured and unsecured promissory notes with no conversion features and was accounted for as receivables in the scope of ASC 310, “Receivables” (“ASC 310”), which was initially recorded at present value and subsequently re-measured at amortized cost (see Note 6). Notes receivable is reported net of an allowance for credit losses on the accompanying balance sheet. |
|||||||||
Convertible Notes Receivable | Convertible Notes Receivable: Convertible notes receivable consists of convertible promissory notes that can convert into a privately held company’s equity securities at the Company’s election and was accounted for as receivables in the scope of ASC 310, which was initially recorded at present value and subsequently re-measured at amortized cost (see Note 6). The notes did not meet the definition of a debt security in the scope of ASC 320, “Investments – Debt Securities” (“ASC 320”). Convertible notes receivable is reported net of an allowance for credit losses on the accompanying balance sheet. |
|||||||||
Allowance for Credit Losses | Allowance for Credit Losses: The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on notes receivable, convertible notes receivable and notes receivable – related party (collectively, the “Outstanding Receivables”) in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The Company currently monitors financial conditions of the companies it has Outstanding Receivables owed from on a continuing basis. After considering current economic conditions and specific and financial stability of its Outstanding Receivables counterparties, an allowance for credit losses is maintained in the balance sheet at a level which management believes is sufficient to cover all probable future credit losses as of the balance sheet date based on specific reserves and an expectation of future economic conditions that might impact collectability. The Company’s policy is to write off past-due accrued interest receivable by measuring an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable on Outstanding Receivables balance. Outstanding Receivables are carried at amortized cost, net of allowances for credit losses. Amortized cost approximated book value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. After all reasonable attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the amount of the receivable is written off against the allowance. |
|||||||||
Convertible Preferred Units | Convertible Preferred Units: Convertible preferred units consist of preferred units issued with an option to convert into New EM common shares at the option of the holders (see Note 4). The convertible preferred units are accounted for as permanent equity in the scope of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) and recorded at fair value which is representative of the proceeds received (see Note 9). |
|||||||||
Derivative Liabilities | Derivative Liabilities: Certain agreements the Company entered into either require the Company to issue or provide the Company the option to issue a variable number of shares of New EM common shares to certain investors and vendors. The Company applies ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity” (“ASC 480”), ASC 815, and ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) in its evaluation of the terms of each agreement. Financial instruments that were identified in each agreement and
Agreements where multiple financial instruments are identified that would individually warrant separate accounting as a derivative instrument are bundled together as a single, compound embedded derivative that is bifurcated and accounted for separately from the host contract in accordance with ASC 815. |
|||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset group’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analysis in accordance with ASC 360-10, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“ASC 360-10”), which requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset group is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value. The Company did not record impairment losses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and period from February 8, 2024 (inception) to March 31, 2024. |
|||||||||
Business Combinations | Business Combinations: The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree are recognized and measured as of the acquisition date at fair value. Goodwill is recognized to the extent by which the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree exceeds the recognized basis of the identifiable assets acquired, net of assumed liabilities. Determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest requires management’s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash flows, discount rates and asset lives among other items. |
|||||||||
Deferred Transaction Costs | Deferred Transaction Costs: Commissions, legal fees and other costs that are direct and incremental costs directly related to the contemplated business combination transaction (See Note 4) are capitalized as deferred transaction costs until the consummation of the transaction. The costs will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital upon the closing of the transaction. If the transaction does not close, these transaction costs will be written off to general and administrative expenses at such time the transaction is determined to be unsuccessful. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, deferred transaction costs totaling $6,793,212 and $3,994,751, respectively, are recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets related to the anticipated business combination (see Note 4). |
|||||||||
Net Loss per Participating Member Unit | Net Loss per Participating Member Unit: Basic net loss per participating member unit is computed by dividing net income attributable to members by the weighted average number of participating member units outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per unit is computed similar to basic net loss per unit except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional participating member units that would have been outstanding if the potential member unit equivalents had been issued and if the additional participating member units were dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the period from February 8, 2024 (inception) to March 31, 2024, the Company diluted weighted-average member units outstanding is equal to basic weighted-average member units, due to the Company’s net loss position. Hence, no member unit equivalents were included in the computation of diluted net loss per unit since such inclusion would have been antidilutive. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, there are no potentially dilutive securities currently issued and outstanding. The Company’s convertible preferred units do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings per unit of the convertible preferred units under the two-class method has not been presented. |
|||||||||
Income Taxes | Income Taxes: As of March 31, 2025, the Company is a single member limited liability company treated as a disregarded entity for federal and state tax purposes with all income tax liabilities and benefits of the Company being passed through to the common member. As such, no recognition of federal or state income taxes for the Company has been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for accounting for uncertain tax positions and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognition, interest, penalties, and disclosures required. The Company does not have any entity-level uncertain tax positions. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdictions and various state jurisdictions. Generally, the Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal (or state and local) income tax authorities for three years from filing a tax return. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, adopted | Recent Accounting Pronouncements, adopted: ASU 2024-01, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards” (“ASU 2024-01”) introduces updates to accounting standards related to the classification and measurement of financial instruments under ASC 320. The update primarily focuses on clarifying guidance for equity securities, debt instruments, and other financial assets, particularly in the areas of fair value measurement and impairment recognition. It aims to improve consistency and comparability in the reporting of financial instruments by refining the criteria for classifying securities and enhancing the methodology for recognizing and measuring impairments. ASU 2024- 01 also mandates additional disclosures to provide greater transparency around the valuation techniques and assumptions used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the unaudited consolidated financial statements. |
|||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements, not yet adopted | Recent Accounting Pronouncements, not yet adopted: ASU 2024-02, “Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements” (“ASU 2024-02”) updates accounting standards for revenue recognition, lease accounting, and impairment of long-lived assets. ASU 2024-02 provides enhanced guidance for estimating variable consideration, accounting for contract modifications, determining lease terms, and simplifying impairment testing for long-lived assets. It also introduces increased disclosure requirements for financial instruments and derivatives. ASU 2024-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-02 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”)” (“ASU 2024-03”) requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosure about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU 2023-06”) incorporates several disclosure and presentation requirements currently residing in SEC Regulation S-X and S-K into the ASC. The amendments are applied prospectively and are effective when the SEC removes the related requirements from Regulation S-X and S-K. Any amendments the SEC does not remove by June 30, 2027 will not be effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. ASU 2025-03, “Business Combination and Consolidation: Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity” (“ASU 2025-03”) provides clarifying guidance on determining the accounting acquirer in certain transactions involving VIEs. The update aims to improve consistency and comparability in financial reporting, especially when companies merge with a special-purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”). ASU 2025-03 requires entities to apply the same factors used for determining the accounting acquirer in other acquisition transactions. Essentially, it aims to make financial reporting more comparable and decision-useful for investors by ensuring that the accounting acquirer is appropriately identified in acquisitions of VIEs, particularly in SPAC transactions. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on its financial statements. Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flow |
