EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Translational Development Acquisition Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2026 (the “Original Filing”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 6, 2026 (“Amendment No. 1”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the same meanings assigned to such terms in the Original Filing, as amended by Amendment No. 1.

 

We are filing this Amendment in response to a comment letter from the SEC, dated May 7, 2026, in connection with its review of Amendment No. 1. The sole purpose of this Amendment is to amend and restate in its entirety Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” to revise the Company’s conclusion regarding the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025 to state that such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Part IV, Item 15, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules,” is also amended solely to include new certifications of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, and certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 furnished as Exhibits 32.1 and 32.2.

 

Except as expressly described above, this Amendment does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures contained in the Original Filing, as amended by Amendment No. 1, and does not reflect or purport to reflect any information or events occurring after the filing date of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing, Amendment No. 1 and the Company’s other filings with the SEC.

PART II

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief financial officer (our “certifying officer”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our certifying officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

 

 

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

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

 

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our Company,

 

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

 

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

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making these assessments, Management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on our assessments and those criteria, Management determined that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.

 

This Report does not include an attestation report of our internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
