Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50, Business Combinations, provides specific guidance on accounting for certain transactions related to business combinations, including asset acquisitions (transactions not meeting the business definition) and pushdown accounting (an optional method to reflect a parent’s acquisition in a subsidiary’s financial statements), and addresses transactions between entities under common control. This transaction is being accounted for as a common control transaction whereby the assets and liabilities are recorded at their historical cost rather than fair value and net assets received are reported retrospectively.
Although the Company initially intended to focus on target companies within the media and entertainment industry, on April 21, 2026, it entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Electra Vehicles, Inc., as described below.
As of August 31, 2026, the Company had not yet commenced any operations.

Note 1 — Organization, Plan of Business Operations and Going Concern Consideration (cont.)
The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a target business, is required to provide shareholders who acquired ordinary shares sold as part of the units in the Initial Public Offering (“Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the Trust Account. The holders of the Founder Shares (as defined in Note 6) agreed to vote any shares they then hold in favor of any proposed Business Combination and waived any redemption rights with respect to these shares pursuant to letter agreements executed prior to the Initial Public Offering.
In connection with any proposed Business Combination, the Company will seek shareholder approval of an initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which Public Shareholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed Business Combination. Alternatively, the Company may conduct a tender offer and allow redemptions in connection therewith. If the Company seeks shareholder approval of an initial Business Combination, any Public Shareholder voting either for or against such proposed Business Combination or not voting at all will be entitled to demand that his Public Shares be redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $

Electra is dedicated to enhancing battery performance through AI-powered battery intelligence, providing solutions for electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and fleet operators. The Business Combination Agreement was amended on May 14, 2026 to revise the definition of some terms, calculation of aggregate merger consideration and conversion ratio, treatment of Electra’s convertible notes, minimum ownership threshold provisions and earnout share provisions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this section have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (a) the Company will domesticate from the Cayman Islands to Delaware (the “Domestication”), and (b) at least one business day following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Electra (the “Merger”), after which Electra will be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the Merger, the Surviving Corporation will change its name to a name to be mutually agreed by the parties and the Company will change its name to “Electra AI, Inc.”
The Domestication and Merger
In accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, on the day that is at least one business day prior to the effective time, the Company shall de-register from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to migrate to and domesticate as a Delaware entity.

The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, the Company, Electra, the Sponsor and certain stockholders of Electra (collectively, the “Holders”) will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, certain IRHO Common Shares that are held by the Holders from time to time, including (a) any outstanding IRHO Common Shares and IRHO Common Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of any other equity security and any IRHO Common Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of any equity awards of the Company held by a Holder immediately following the Closing (including any securities distributable pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement); (b) any outstanding IRHO Common Shares, equity awards, Earnout Shares, IRHO Common Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of any other equity security of the Company acquired by a Holder following the Closing Date to the extent that such securities are “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144) or are otherwise held by an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company; (c) any Additional Holder Common Stock (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement); and (d) any other equity security of the Company or any of its subsidiaries issued or issuable with respect to any securities referenced in clause (a), (b) or (c) above by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, reorganization or similar transaction.
The Registration Rights Agreement amends and restates the registration rights agreement that was entered into by the Company, the Sponsor and the other parties thereto in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering. The Registration Rights Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (a) the five year anniversary of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement or (b) with respect to any Holder, on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities (as defined therein).
On May 14, 2026, the Company entered into an Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Business Combination Agreement. Among other things, the Amendment revised certain provisions of the Business Combination Agreement including:
| ● | the definitions of Aggregate Merger Consideration, Company Earnout Holders, Conversion Ratio; | |
| ● | the calculation of the Aggregate Merger Consideration and Conversion Ratio; | |
| ● | the treatment of the Company Convertible Notes to be issued in connection with Electra’s bridge financing; | |
| ● | Minimum Ownership Threshold provisions; and | |
| ● | the earnout share provisions applicable following the closing of the Business Combination. |
Going Concern Consideration
As of August 31, 2026, the Company had cash of $
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, “Financial Statement Presentation — Going Concern,” the Company’s management has determined that the Company currently lacks the liquidity it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued as it expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans. In addition, management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to the end of the Combination Period. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the end of the Combination Period. There can be no assurance that the Company’s plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.

Risks and Uncertainties
The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the military escalations between the United States and Iran, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and other similar geopolitical conflicts. Ongoing military escalation between the United States and Iran has heightened risks to critical infrastructure, shipping routes, and energy supplies. Any further deterioration could drive sustained increases in oil prices, disrupt global trade, contribute to macroeconomic instability, and materially heighten the risk of a global recession. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.
Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from these geopolitical conditions could reduce the pool of viable attractive target candidates for an initial Business Combination, the military escalations between the United States and Iran, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus for its Initial Public Offering as filed with the SEC on December 18, 2025, the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on December 23, 2025, as well as the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended November 30, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 13, 2026. The interim results for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending November 30, 2026 or for any future periods.

Principles of Consolidation
Merger Sub, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was incorporated on April 17, 2026 and was formed for the purpose of merging with Electra prior to the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement to facilitate the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Merger Sub. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is 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”), 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, 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 shareholder 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 a 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 unaudited consolidated 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 the unaudited 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
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. The Company had $
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable are stated at the outstanding principal balance, plus accrued interest, if any, net of an allowance for expected credit losses. In accordance with ASC Topic 326, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses,” the Company measures expected credit losses over the contractual life of the notes on an ongoing basis, considering past-due status, the absence of collateral, the financial condition of the counterparty and reasonable and supportable forecasts. As of August 31, 2026, the entire outstanding principal balance of $

As of August 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounted to $
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 Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under 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 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.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statements 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 Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of August 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
Effective July 25, 2025, the Company is considered to be an exempted Cayman Islands company with 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. Prior to such date, the Company was a Delaware entity and the provision for income taxes was deemed to be de minimis from November 26, 2024 (inception) through July 25, 2025.
Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees that are related to the Initial Public Offering. FASB ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” addresses the allocation of proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt into its equity and debt components. The Company applies this guidance to allocate Initial Public Offering proceeds from the Units between ordinary shares and Share Rights, using the residual method by allocating Initial Public Offering proceeds first to the fair value of the Public Rights and then to the ordinary shares. Offering costs allocated to the Public Shares were charged to temporary equity, and offering costs allocated to Public Rights and Private Placement Units were charged to shareholders’ deficit, as the Share Rights, after management’s evaluation, were accounted for under equity treatment.
Share Rights
The Company accounted for the Public and Private Placement Rights issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” including ASC 815-40-15 and ASC 815-40-25. Accordingly, the Company determined that the Share Rights are not within the scope of ASC 480, are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and meet the conditions for equity classification; the Share Rights are therefore classified within shareholders’ deficit at their fair value at issuance.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption
The Public Shares contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, or if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination. In accordance with ASC 480-10-S99, the Company classifies Public Shares subject to redemption outside of permanent equity as the redemption provisions are not solely within the control of the Company. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of redeemable shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares will result in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit. Accordingly, as of August 31, 2026, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) Per Ordinary Share
The Company complies with the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable ordinary shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share does not consider the effect of the
For the nine months ended August 31, 2026, basic net income per non-redeemable ordinary share includes the Founder Shares beginning on December 18, 2025, the date the over-allotment option was fully exercised. Diluted net income per non-redeemable ordinary share treats the Founder Shares as outstanding as of the beginning of the period in which the contingent condition was satisfied. Accordingly, upon the exercise of the over-allotment option on December 18, 2025, the Founder Shares are included in the calculation of diluted net income per non-redeemable ordinary share as if outstanding from the beginning of the period on December 1, 2025.

The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that the Company register such securities. The holders of the majority of the Founders Shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these ordinary shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the public and private rights issued to our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates in payment of working capital loans made to the Company (or underlying securities) can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after the Company consummates a Business Combination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the underwriter may only make a demand on one occasion and only during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Company’s Initial Public Offering. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a Business Combination; provided, however, that the underwriter may participate in a “piggy-back” registration only during the seven-year period beginning on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering.

Each Working Capital Loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would be paid upon consummation of an initial Business Combination, without interest. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. These loans would be repaid at completion of the initial Business Combination. As of August 31, 2026 and November 30, 2025, Working Capital Loans were outstanding.

Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the rights. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds with respect to their rights, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such rights. Accordingly, the rights may expire worthless.
Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
| Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statements information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s CODM has been identified as the , who 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 the Company only has

The CODM reviews the position of total assets available with the Company to assess if the Company has sufficient resources available to discharge its liabilities. The CODM is provided with details of cash and liquid resources available with the Company. The CODM reviews the interest earned on the Trust Account to measure and monitor shareholder value and determine the most effective strategy of investment with the Trust Account funds while maintaining compliance with the trust agreement.
General, formation and operational costs and interest earned on investments held in Trust Account are reviewed and monitored by the CODM to manage and forecast cash to ensure enough capital is available to complete a Business Combination or similar transaction within the Combination Period. The CODM also reviews general, formation and operational costs to manage, maintain and enforce all contractual agreements to ensure costs are aligned with all agreements and budget. General, formation and operational costs, as reported on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations, are the significant segment expenses provided to the CODM on a regular basis.

References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and references to the “Sponsor” refer to IRHO SPAC Sponsor LLC. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated 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.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are not historical facts and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.

Overview
We are a blank check company initially incorporated as a Delaware corporation on November 26, 2024, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. On July 25, 2025, we transferred, by way of continuation, to the Cayman Islands. On September 12, 2025, Iron Horse Acquisition II Corp. was incorporated in the Cayman Islands. On September 30, 2025, Iron Horse Acquisitions Corp. II merged with Iron Horse Acquisition II Corp., which is the surviving entity, and we are now incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company. We intend to effectuate our business combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, shares and debt.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business Combination will be successful.
Although we initially intended to focus on target companies within the media and entertainment industry, on April 21, 2026, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Electra Vehicles, Inc., as described below.

Proposed Transactions
On April 21, 2026, we entered into a merger agreement (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among us, IRHO Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and our direct, wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and Electra Vehicles, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Electra”). Electra is dedicated to enhancing battery performance through AI-powered battery intelligence, providing solutions for electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and fleet operators. The Business Combination Agreement was amended on May 14, 2026 to revise certain defined terms, the calculation of the aggregate merger consideration and the conversion ratio, the treatment of Electra’s convertible notes, the minimum ownership threshold provisions and the earnout share provisions.
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this section have the meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, we will domesticate from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”) and, at least one business day following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Electra (the “Merger”), with Electra surviving the Merger as our wholly owned subsidiary, and we will change our name to “Electra AI, Inc.” The Domestication, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to as the “Proposed Business Combination.”
We have agreed to acquire all of the equity interests of Electra for $250,000,000 plus the Aggregate Exercise Price, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, payable in shares of our post-Domestication common stock (the “IRHO Common Shares”) valued at $10.00 per share, subject to automatic upward adjustment until the Aggregate Merger Consideration represents at least 50.1% of the Aggregate Company Fully Diluted Shares. As additional consideration, the Electra Earnout Holders may earn up to an aggregate of 15,000,000 IRHO Common Shares in three equal tranches during the five-year period following the Closing Date, upon achievement of share price milestones of $14.00, $16.00 and $18.00 per share or annual run rate milestones of $45 million, $55 million and $65 million, respectively.
In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, we entered into the Company Support Agreement with our Sponsor and Electra, and the Electra Support Agreement with Electra and certain of its stockholders, in each case providing for voting and transfer restrictions in support of the Proposed Business Combination. The Business Combination Agreement further contemplates that we will enter into a lock-up agreement with our Sponsor and certain Electra stockholders on or before the Closing Date, and an amended and restated registration rights agreement with the Holders at the Closing.
The Closing remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including approval by our shareholders and by Electra’s stockholders, effectiveness of the Registration Statement, conditional approval of our initial listing application on NASDAQ or another national securities exchange, our accrued but unpaid fees, costs and expenses (excluding the deferred underwriting commission) not exceeding $2,000,000 without Electra’s prior written consent, and our closing cash equaling or exceeding $30,000,000. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Business Combination will be completed. For additional information regarding the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements, see Note 1 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Results of Operations
We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from November 26, 2024 (inception) through August 31, 2026 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and investments held in the Trust Account. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended August 31, 2026, we had a net income of $1,875,969, which consists of interest earned on cash and investments held in the Trust Account of $2,109,367, offset by general, formation and operational costs of $233,398.
| 25 |
For the nine months ended August 31, 2026, we had a net income of $4,535,965, which consists of interest earned on cash and investments held in the Trust Account of $5,820,815, offset by general, formation and operational costs of $1,284,850.
For the three months ended August 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $71,471, which consists of general, formation and operational costs of $71,471.
For the nine months ended August 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $167,328, which consists of general, formation and operational costs of $167,328.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 18, 2025, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 570,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., generating gross proceeds of $5,700,000. Of those 570,000 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 370,000 Private Placement Units, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. purchased 200,000 Private Placement Units.
Following the Initial Public Offering, the full exercise of the over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $230,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred transaction costs of $15,590,100, consisting of $4,000,000 of cash underwriting fee, $10,950,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $640,100 of other offering costs.
For the nine months ended August 31, 2026, cash used in operating activities was $934,273. Net income of $4,535,965 was affected by interest earned on cash and investments held in the Trust Account of $5,820,815. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $350,577 of cash for operating activities.
For the nine months ended August 31, 2025, cash used in operating activities was $115,011. Net loss of $167,328 was affected by changes in operating assets and liabilities which provided $52,317 of cash for operating activities.
As of August 31, 2026, we had cash and investments held in the Trust Account of $235,645,815 (including $5,645,815 of interest income, net of $175,000 interest withdrawn from the Trust Account for working capital purposes). 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 any permitted withdrawals and excluding deferred underwriting commissions), to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of August 31, 2026, we had cash of $1,522. 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, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
| 26 |
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders, the Sponsor, or our officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds from time to time or at any time, as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Each Working Capital Loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would be paid upon consummation of an initial Business Combination, without interest. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. These loans would be repaid at completion of the initial Business Combination. As of August 31, 2026, no Working Capital Loans were outstanding.
We may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Our officers, directors and our Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain additional financing. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. We cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
As of August 31, 2026, we had $255,000 of notes receivable that were past due. On October 2, 2026, we subsequently collected $150,000 of such notes receivable, with the remaining $105,000 outstanding. We intend to use the proceeds from the collection to fund our working capital needs.
Going Concern
In connection with our assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, “Financial Statement Presentation — Going Concern,” our management has determined that we currently lack the liquidity needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be at least one year from the date that the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued as we expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our acquisition plans. In addition, our management has determined that if we are unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, then we will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our management plans to consummate an initial Business Combination prior to the end of the Combination Period. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should we be required to liquidate after the end of the Combination Period. There can be no assurance that our plans to raise capital or to consummate an initial Business Combination will be successful.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of August 31, 2026. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual Obligations
Underwriting Agreement
The underwriters were entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 4.50% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account other than those sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option and 6.50% of the gross proceeds sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option, or $10,950,000 in the aggregate. The deferred underwriting discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Initial Business Combination.
| 27 |
Deferred Legal Fee
On March 18, 2026, we entered into an agreement with its legal advisor in connection with services rendered associated with the Business Combination Agreement. As of August 31, 2026, we had a total of $413,467 of deferred legal fee incurred to be paid to our legal advisor upon the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of the Business Combination, (ii) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, and (iii) our liquidation. As of November 30, 2025, there were no deferred legal fee payable. The deferred fee is classified as a non-current liability in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets.
Service Provider Agreement
On May 11, 2026, we entered into an agreement with a service provider in connection with regulatory filings associated with the Business Combination Agreement. Upon completion of a successful Business Combination, this service provider will be entitled to a success fee of $100,000.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates as of August 31, 2026.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2026, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that during the period covered by this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2026, because of the identification of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting relating to (1) inadequate segregation of duties within account processes due to limited personnel, and (2) insufficient written policies and procedure for accounting, IT, financial reporting and record keeping. In light of these material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Report present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2026 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and final prospectus for its Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC. As of the date of this Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and final prospectus for its Initial Public Offering filed with the SEC.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On December 18, 2025, we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, which includes the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Cantor acted as sole book-running manager, of the Initial Public Offering. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act on registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-284331). The Securities and Exchange Commission declared the registration statements effective on December 16, 2025.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 570,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, in a private placement to the Sponsor and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., generating gross proceeds of $5,700,000. Of those 570,000 Private Placement Units, the Sponsor purchased 370,000 Private Placement Units, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. purchased 200,000 Private Placement Units. Each Unit consists of one Private Placement Share and one Private Placement Right to receive one tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination. The issuance was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The Private Placement Units are identical to the units sold in the Initial Public Offering, subject to certain limited exceptions.
Of the gross proceeds received from the Initial Public Offering, the exercise of the over-allotment option and the Private Placement Units, an aggregate of $230,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account.
We incurred a total transaction cost of $15,590,100, consisting of $4,000,000 cash underwriting fee, $10,950,000 of deferred underwriting fee, and $640,100 of other offering costs related to the Initial Public Offering.
