Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus for its Initial Public Offering as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026, as well as the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on April 6, 2026, and the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, as filed with the SEC on May 14, 2026 and August 19, 2026, respectively. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future periods.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 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 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 condensed 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.

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. The Company had $1,341,865 and $0 in cash and no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Investments Held in Trust Account

Investments Held in Trust Account

 

As of September 30, 2026, the assets held in the Trust Account, amounting to $257,129,909, were held in money market funds. As of December 31, 2025, there were no assets held in the Trust Account.

Concentration of Credit Risk

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 $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering Costs

Offering Costs

 

Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Upon completion of the Initial Public Offering on March 30, 2026, offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued based on relative fair values. Offering costs allocated to the Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption were charged against their carrying value in temporary equity, and offering costs allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were charged to shareholders’ deficit. The Class A ordinary shares were subsequently remeasured to redemption value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement”, approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the forward contract asset. The Company’s forward contract asset is measured at fair value on a recurring basis and is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs in the valuation.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

Class A 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 FASB 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 will recognize 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. 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 September 30, 2026, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2026, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Net Loss per Ordinary Share

 

Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share

 

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. The consolidated statements of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per Class A redeemable ordinary share and income (loss) per non-redeemable ordinary share following the two-class method of income (loss) per ordinary share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the Class A redeemable ordinary shares and non-redeemable ordinary shares, the Company first considered the total net income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares. This is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, any accretion of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was treated as dividends paid to the public shareholders.

 

Net income (loss) per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by class by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the 8,433,333 Public Warrants in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, since the exercise of such warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

 

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026:

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the unaudited condensed 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 Cayman Islands and the United States are the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 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.

 

Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. VI 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. However, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, PubCo and Merger Sub, are Delaware corporations and are subject to U.S. federal income tax.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and for the period from June 4, 2026 (PubCo’s inception) through September 30, 2026, PubCo had income before income taxes of $10,337,599 and $11,292,374, respectively, consisting of the gain on change in fair value of the forward contract of $10,432,000 and $11,389,000, respectively, partially offset by general and administrative costs of $94,401 and $96,626, respectively. The forward contract relates to the issuance of PubCo’s own equity under the Series A SPAs, and the change in its fair value is not expected to be included in PubCo’s taxable income; accordingly, it has been treated as a permanent difference. PubCo’s general and administrative costs are considered start-up costs and are capitalized for U.S. federal income tax purposes, resulting in a deferred tax asset of $20,291 as of September 30, 2026. Because PubCo has not commenced operations and has no history of taxable income, management has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized and has recorded a full valuation allowance as of September 30, 2026.

 

The Company’s consolidated income tax provision was zero for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and for the period from September 12, 2025 (inception) through September 30, 2025. The Company’s effective tax rate was 0.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, which differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily because the income of Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. VI, including investment income on assets held in Trust Account, is not subject to income tax, the change in fair value of the forward contract is treated as a permanent difference, and the change in the valuation allowance on PubCo’s deferred tax asset.

Warrant Instruments

Warrant Instruments

 

The Company accounted for the Public and Private Placement Warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the private placement in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. There are 8,433,333 Public Warrants and 7,400,000 Private Placement Warrants currently outstanding as of September 30, 2026. There were no Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2025. Accordingly, the Company evaluated and classified the warrant instruments under equity treatment at their assigned values.

Share-based compensation

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company records share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, guidance to account for its share-based compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee share option or similar equity instrument. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based payments are valued using the Monte Carlo model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Share-based compensation expenses are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Israel-Hamas conflict and the conflicts between the United States and Israel and Iran, as well as recent developments to U.S. tariff policies. 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 (SWIFT) 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, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the conflict between the United States and Israel and Iran 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 cyber-attacks 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 the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the conflict between the United States and Israel and Iran 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.
