NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY

Plum Acquisition Corp. III (fka Alpha Partners Technology Merger Corp.) (the "Company") is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 5, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a "Business Combination"). The Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. On December 27, 2023, the Company, the Original Sponsor (as defined below) and Mercury Capital, LLC (the "Sponsor") entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which, at a closing on December 28, 2023 (the "Closing"), the Sponsor (i) purchased 3,902,648 Founder Units (as defined in Note 5) of the Company from the Original Sponsor, each unit consisting of one Class B ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant to acquire one Class B share, which Founder Units are subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances, and (ii) became entitled to 70% of 2,030,860 Founder Units that the Original Sponsor placed in escrow at the Closing to the extent such Founder Units are allocated to investors who hold and do not redeem their Class A ordinary shares of the Company at the time of the Company's initial Business Combination, for an aggregate purchase price of $1. Subsequently, on January 26, 2024, the Company, the Original Sponsor, and the Sponsor entered into an amended purchase agreement (the "Amended Purchase Agreement"), to correct the number of shares that the Original Sponsor shall retain to be 665,000 Class A private placement units and 1,128,992 Class B founder units.

The Original Sponsor and the Sponsor each agreed to pay $112,500 in extension contributions in each of December 2023 and January 2024. As of December 31, 2023, there was a $112,500 deposit into the Trust Account due from the Sponsor and the Original Sponsor, respectively, representing the December 2023 extension contribution. On January 24, 2024, the second payment of $112,500 was deposited into the Trust Account. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Original Sponsor agreed to pay, or cause its affiliates to pay, certain liabilities of the Company accrued and outstanding as of the Closing and will deliver Founder Units to the Sponsor to the extent such liabilities are unsatisfied or the Original Sponsor's obligation to make extension contributions is not satisfied.

Following the Closing, the Original Sponsor has no further obligations with respect to the Company and the Sponsor assumed all obligations relating to the Company, including, (i) to cause the Company to file a proxy statement providing public investors of the Company with the option to accept a revised trust extension arrangement or redeem their Class A ordinary shares and receive their pro rata share of the Company's Trust Account (as defined below), (ii) to cause the Company to satisfy all of its public reporting requirements as well as taking all action to cause the Company to remain listed on Nasdaq, (iii) the payment of all extension contributions after January 2024 and working capital of the Company, at the discretion of the Sponsor, and (iv) all other obligations of the Original Sponsor related to the Company.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 relates to the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest and dividend income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company's Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 27, 2021. On July 30, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 units (the "Units" and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the "Public Shares"), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 800,000 units (the "Private Placement Units") at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to Alpha Partners Technology Merger Sponsor LLC (the "Original Sponsor") and certain anchor investors (the "Anchor Investors"), generating gross proceeds of $8,000,000, which is described in Note 4.

PLUM ACQUISTION CORP. III

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

The Company had granted the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any (see Note 6). On August 5, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 3,250,000 Units (the "Over-Allotment Units"), generating gross proceeds of $32,500,000.

Simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company consummated the sale of 65,000 units (the "Over-Allotment Private Placement Units") at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement to the Original Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $650,000.

Upon closing of the Initial Public Offering, the sale of the Private Placement Units, the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, and the sale of the Over-Allotment Private Placement Units, a total of $282,500,000 was placed in a trust account (the "Trust Account") and was invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with maturities of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds held in the Trust Account, as described below.

The Company will provide the holders of its outstanding Public Shares (the "Public Shareholders") with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company's warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 either prior to or upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks shareholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the "Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association"), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Original Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or don't vote at all.

Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company's Original Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive (i) redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination, (ii) redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would modify the substance or timing of the obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with an initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering or with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial Business Combination activity and (iii) rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares held if the Company fails to complete an initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering. However, if the Sponsor or officers and directors acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

PLUM ACQUISTION CORP. III

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

The Company previously had until 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering to complete a Business Combination. On July 27, 2023, the Company's shareholders approved a proposal to amend the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from July 30, 2023 to July 30, 2024. On February 1, 2024, the Company's shareholders approved a proposal to further amend the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from July 30, 2024 to January 30, 2025 (the "Combination Period"). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 6) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Original Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective partner business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay tax obligations, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective partner business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Original Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (excluding the Company's independent registered public accounting firm), prospective partner businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Extraordinary General Meeting

On July 27, 2023, the Company held an Extraordinary General Meeting (the "July Extraordinary General Meeting") whereby the shareholders approved an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the "Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association"). The Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association extended the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from July 30, 2023 to July 30, 2024, or such earlier date as shall be determined by the Company's board of directors. In connection with the July Extraordinary General Meeting, the holders of 13,532,591 Class A ordinary shares, properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.41 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $140,838,808. After those redemptions, approximately $153,169,659 remained in the Company's trust account.

On January 29, 2024, the Company held an Extraordinary General Meeting (the "Extraordinary General Meeting") whereby shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association in order to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination, cease its operations and redeem all of its Class A ordinary shares (the "Extension Proposal") to January 30, 2025, or such earlier date as shall be determined by the Company's board of directors and (ii) changed the name of the Company from Alpha Partners Technology Merger Corp. to Plum Acquisition Corp. III.

The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands on February 1, 2024.

In connection with the Extension Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Proposal, the holders of 12,433,210 Class A ordinary shares, properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.78 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $134,059,215. The payments for these redemptions took place on February 27, 2024, after which $24,629,032 remained in the Company's Trust Account. As a result of the Extension Proposal being approved by the Company's shareholders, the Original Sponsor, or its designee is no longer required to make monthly payments to the Company equal to the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $225,000 or (b) $0.03 per public share that remains outstanding. On August 2, 2023, September 7, 2023, October 10, 2023, November 10, 2023, January 10, 2024, and January 25, 2024 $225,000, or $1,350,000 in the aggregate, was deposited into the Company's Trust Account.

Letter of Intent and Business Combination Agreement

On July 26, 2023, the Company signed a non-binding letter-of-intent ("LOI") for a business combination with Glowforge Inc. ("Glowforge"), creator of award-winning 3D laser printers. Under the terms of the LOI, the Company and Glowforge would become a combined entity, with Glowforge's existing equity holders rolling 100% of their equity into the combined public company. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the LOI was terminated.

As part of a terminated LOI, the Company received payment from a previous business combination target entity of $374,975 on April 13, 2023. That balance represented a penalty if the target entity terminated the agreement. The target entity reimbursed the Company for transaction expenses and merger-related activities incurred through that date related to a prospective merger which was not completed.

On August 22, 2024, the Company entered into a business combination agreement with a corporation formed under the Laws of the Province of British Columbia ("PubCo") and Tactical Resources Corp., a corporation formed under the Laws of the Province of British Columbia, pursuant to which the Company will amalgamate pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia ("BCBCA") to form one corporate entity, except that the legal existence of Pubco will not cease and Pubco will survive the amalgamation, following its redomicile into the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The business combination agreement and related executed agreements included supporting agreements are more fully described and filed with the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 22, 2024.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $49,390 in cash held outside of the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $1,109,289, which may not be sufficient for the Company to operate for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of the unaudited condensed financial statements. There is no assurance that the Company's attempts to close the deal for an initial Business Combination will be successful within the Combination Period. On January 3, 2024, the Company, the Sponsor and Palmeira Investment Limited (the "Investor") entered into a subscription agreement (the "Subscription Agreement"), pursuant to which the Sponsor may raise up to $1,500,000 from the Investor to fund extension payments and working capital for the Company, including $250,000 upon the execution of the Subscription Agreement, $250,000 on February 1, 2024, and as otherwise called by the Sponsor in its discretion. At the closing of the Company's initial business combination, the Sponsor will forfeit 0.85 Class B shares, and the Company will issue an equal number of shares of its common stock to the Investor, for each dollar funded by the Investor pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.

JUNE 30, 2024

In July 2024, the Company entered into a promissory note with the Sponsor (the "Sponsor Promissory Note"), pursuant to which the Sponsor may loan up to $1,500,000 to the Company. The funds that will be loaned to the Company under the Sponsor Promissory Note consist of a portion of the up to $1,500,000 that was loan to the Sponsor by the Investor. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into Private Placement Warrants of the Company, at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. The outstanding balance under the Sponsor Promissory Note as of June 30, 2024 was $718,867.

The Company will have until January 30, 2025 to complete a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by January 30, 2025 there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company.

In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 205-40 Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern, management has determined the factors disclosed above including the January 30, 2025 Combination Period deadline raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date that these unaudited condensed financial statements are filed. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with 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 comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on July 1, 2024. The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.

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 independent registered public accounting firm 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. The Company has elected to implement the aforementioned exemptions.

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 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 condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the unaudited condensed 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 from those estimates. The initial valuation of the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption, the initial and the quarterly valuation of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4), and the valuations for the convertible Note (as defined in Note 5) required management to exercise significant judgement in its 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 $49,390 and $0 in cash as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Investments Held in Trust Account

Investments Held in Trust Account are classified as trading securities which are presented on the condensed balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the investments held in the Trust Account totaled $25,096,330 and $157,330,245, respectively.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant's specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480") and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company's own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed statements of operations. The initial fair value of the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) was estimated using a binomial/lattice model and the fair value of the Founder Warrants (as defined in Note 5) and Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4) was estimated using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (see Note 9). Due to the options pricing model not producing a meaningful volatility for the Founder Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Founder Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were set equal to the fair value of the Public Warrants.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 28,250,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and subsequent partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, that remain unredeemed, contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. In accordance with SEC and its staff's guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Public Shares have been classified outside of permanent equity. On January 29, 2024, 12,433,210 Class A ordinary shares were tendered for redemption by shareholders for a total value of $134,059,215. The payment of these shares took place on February 27, 2024, after which 2,284,199 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption remained outstanding.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the condensed balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption as of December 31, 2023		$	157,555,245
Redemption of Class A common stock subject to redemption			(134,059,215	)

Remeasurement of Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption to redemption amount			283,319
Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption as of June 30, 2024		$	25,096,330

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's unaudited condensed financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company's evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company's unaudited condensed financial statements.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were nounrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is considered an exempted Cayman Islands Company and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company's unaudited condensed financial statements.

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the income per share calculation allocates income shared pro rata between Class A and Class B ordinary shares. As a result, the calculated net income per share is the same for Class A and Class B ordinary shares. The Company has not considered the effect of the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3), Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4), or the Founder Warrants (as defined in Note 5) to purchase an aggregate of 12,059,166 shares, or the effects of the 479,245 warrants that would be issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Loan (as defined in Note 5) in the calculation of income per share, because the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

		Three Months Ended June 30, 2024			Three Months Ended June 30, 2023			Six Months Ended June 30, 2024			Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820"), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company's principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity's own assumptions based on market data and the entity's judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are to be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed balance sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Level 1 - Assets and liabilities with unadjusted, quoted prices listed on active market exchanges. Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

PLUM ACQUISTION CORP. III

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2024

Level 2 - Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 - Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

See Note 9 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

The registration statement for the Company's Initial Public Offering was declared effective on July 27, 2021. On July 30, 2021, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering of 25,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant ("Public Warrant"). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (see Note 7).

The Company had granted the underwriters in the Initial Public Offering a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any (see Note 6). On August 5, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option and purchased an additional 3,250,000 Over-Allotment Units, generating gross proceeds of $32,500,000.

NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Original Sponsor and certain Anchor Investors purchased an aggregate of 800,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit ($8,000,000 in the aggregate). Each Private Placement Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share (the "Private Placement Shares") and one-third of one redeemable warrant (the "Private Placement Warrants"), which is exercisable at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Private Placement Warrants.

Simultaneously with the closing of the exercise of the over-allotment option (see Note 6), the Company consummated the sale of 65,000 Over-Allotment Private Placement Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit in a private placement to the Original Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $650,000.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On February 5, 2021, an affiliate of the Original Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 to cover certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for the issuance of 7,187,500 founder units ("Founder Units"), which were subsequently transferred to the Original Sponsor. Each Founder Unit consists of one Class B ordinary share and one-third of one warrant (the "Founder Warrants") that has the same terms as the Private Placement Warrants (2,395,833 Founder Warrants in the aggregate). The Class B ordinary shares included in the Founder Units ("Founder Shares") included an aggregate of up to 937,500 Class B ordinary shares subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised in full or in part, so that the Original Sponsor will own, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares upon completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Founder Warrants included an aggregate of up to 312,500 Founder Warrants subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters' over-allotment option was not exercised. On August 5, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,250,000 Units (see Note 6), leaving 125,000 Class B ordinary shares and 41,667 Founder Warrants subject to forfeiture. On September 11, 2021, the remaining option expired. As a result, 125,000 Class B ordinary shares and 41,667 Founder Warrants were forfeited.

The Original Sponsor has agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell (i) any of their Founder Units or Founder Shares until the earliest of (A) oneyear after the completion of an initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to an initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after an initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property and (ii) any of their Founder Warrants and Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof until 30 days after the completion of an initial Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of the Company's Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after an initial Business Combination, the Founder Units or Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.

On December 27, 2023, the Company, the Original Sponsor, and the Sponsor entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which, at a closing on December 28, 2023, the Sponsor (i) purchased 3,902,648 founder units of the Company from the Original Sponsor, each unit consisting of one Class B ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant to acquire one Class B ordinary share, which founder units are subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances, and (ii) became entitled to 70% of the 2,030,860 founder units that Original Sponsor placed in escrow at the Closing to the extent such founder units are allocated to investors who hold and do not redeem their Class A ordinary shares of the Company at the time of the Company's initial business combination, for an aggregate purchase price of $1. Original Sponsor agreed to pay, or cause its affiliates to pay, certain liabilities of the Company accrued and outstanding as of the Closing. Following the closing, Original Sponsor has no further obligations with respect to the Company, and the Sponsor has assumed all obligations relating to the Company. Pursuant to the Amended Purchase Agreement, the Original Sponsor shall retain 665,000 Class A private placement units and 1,128,992 Class B founder units.

The Company and the Sponsor intend to enter into non-redemption agreements (the "Non-Redemption Agreements") with certain shareholders of the Company pursuant to which, if such shareholders do not redeem (or validly rescind any redemption requests on) their Class A ordinary shares (the "Non-Redeemed Shares") in connection with the January 2024 Extraordinary General Meeting, the Sponsor will agree to transfer to such investors ordinary shares of the Company held by the Sponsor immediately following the consummation of an initial business combination if they continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Administrative Support Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering, to pay an affiliate of the Original Sponsor $55,000 per month for office space, secretarial and administrative support services. Upon the completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation, the Company will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred no expenses under this agreement. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred expenses of $165,000 and $330,000, respectively, under this agreement and are included in operating and formation costs on the accompanying condensed statement of operations. In connection with the Purchase Agreement on December 27, 2023, the obligations of the Administrative Support Agreement transferred from the Original Sponsor to the Sponsor. Any outstanding administrative support fees owed to the Sponsor as of December 27, 2023 were forgiven by the Original Sponsor and the agreement was then cancelled. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no outstanding balance for accrued expenses - related party.

Non-Redemption Agreements

On January 17, 2024, January 23, 2024,and January 24, 2024, the Company and the Sponsor entered into non-redemption agreements (each, a "Non-Redemption Agreement") with one or more unaffiliated third party or parties (the "Investors") in exchange for each such third party or third parties agreeing not to redeem certain public Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value per share of the Company sold in its initial public offering (the "Non-Redeemed Shares") at the Adjourned Meeting. In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such Non-Redeemed Shares, the Sponsor will assign an economic interest in certain of its Founder Shares to the Investor at the rate of one Founder Share for each four Non-Redeemed Shares. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of 331,180 Founder Shares transferrable to the Non-Redeeming Shareholders pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreement to be $367,610 or $1.11 per share. The fair value was determined using a discount for the probability of an Initial Business Combination of 10.95% and a discount of 5% for the lack of redemption rights and the value per Founder Shares as of the valuation date of $10.71. The excess of the fair value of such Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, in substance, the indirect economic interest in the Founder Shares was recognized by the Company as a capital contribution in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5T by the Sponsor to induce these Non-Redeeming Stockholders not to redeem the Non-Redeemed Shares, with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital to recognize the fair value of the Founder Shares subject to transfer as an offering cost.

Consulting Agreement - Stock Based Compensation

On February 12, 2024, the Sponsor entered into an independent contractor agreement and securities transfer agreement concurrently with the Company's Chief Financial Officer, for services related to due diligence of potential business combination partners and assisting with the negotiation and closing of an initial business combination. The Chief Financial Officer is entitled to receive a fee for service of $12,500 paid in amounts of $6,250 semi-monthly until the Company completes its initial business combination. These payments will be recorded as operating expenses of the Company. Additionally, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer 365,000 Founder Shares and 175,000 Founder Warrants of the Company to the Chief Financial Officer. At the earlier of the termination of the agreement and an initial business combination, the Chief Financial Officer has agreed to surrender a portion of the Class B ordinary shares based on the cash compensation paid multiplied by 1.5, up to a maximum of 165,000 Founder Shares. Lastly, the Chief Financial Officer shall be paid a success fee of $50,000 that is contingent upon the closing of the initial business combination. The compensation expense related to the Founder Share transfer will be amortized on a straight-line basis from the grant date of February 12, 2024 (the date at which the independent contractor agreement was signed, and the date at which all parties reached a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the share-based payment) to November 1, 2024 (vesting period of 8 months). Such Investment Advisory Agreement was accounted for under ASC 718. The Company estimated the fair value of the Founder Shares to be $177,555 or $0.89 per share. The value was calculated by taking the February 12, 2024 trading price of $10.50, multiplied by the Company's estimated probability of completing the business combination on that day of 8.9%, further multiplied 95.0% to factor in a discount for lack of redemption ability of the Founder Shares prior to a Business Combination The Company estimated the fair value of the Founder Warrants to be $17,500 or $0.10 per warrant, which was the trading price on February 12, 2024.

On June 30, 2024, the Sponsor entered into an amendment to the independent contractor agreement. In connection with the amendment, the Sponsor will now assign and transfer all 365,000 Founder Shares and 175,000 Founder Warrants only upon the closing of a Business Combination, and the 165,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture based upon cash compensation paid. As such, the Company determined that this was a modification to the original agreement. As such, as of June 30, 2024 no additional compensation will be recorded for the transfer of the shares until a Business Combination has been consummated. The compensation that has been recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, will remain within the Company's Statements of Operations for those periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded compensation expense of $70,170 and $86,516, respectively.

In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of an initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On August 5, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,250,000 Units at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $32,500,000. On September 11, 2021, the remaining option expired. As a result, 125,000 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited.

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $5,650,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and partial exercise of the over-allotment option. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or $9,887,500 in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. On December 27, 2023, the underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their portion of the fee payable by the Company for deferred underwriting commissions, with respect to any potential business combination of the Company. Of the total $9,887,500 waived fee, $9,551,325 was recorded as a reduction to accumulated deficit and $336,175 was recorded as a gain on the waiver of deferred underwriting commissions by underwriters in the consolidated statements of operations, following a manner consistent with the original allocation of the deferred underwriting fees.

Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants, and Founder Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Founder Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants will also expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to satisfying the obligations described below with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of an initial Business Combination, the Company will use the commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement or a new registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use the commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of an initial Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so appoint, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of an initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but the Company will use the best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00-Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

●	in whole and not in part;

●	at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

●	upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

●

if, and only if, the last reported closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given to the warrant holders (the "Reference Value") equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and certain issuances of Class A ordinary shares and equity linked securities).

The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise the redemption right even if the Company is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00-Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

●	in whole and not in part;

●

at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days' prior written notice of redemption; provided that during such 30 day period holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares based on the redemption date and the "fair market value" of the Class A ordinary shares (as defined below) except as otherwise described below; provided, further, that if the warrants are not exercised on a cashless basis or otherwise during such 30 day period, the Company shall redeem such warrants for $0.10 per share; and

●

if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like and certain issuances of Class A ordinary shares and equity linked securities) on the trading day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The value of the Company's Class A ordinary shares shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. The Company will provide its warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business dayafter the 10-trading day period described above ends. In no event will the warrants be exercisable on a cashless basis in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 Class A ordinary shares per warrant (subject to adjustment).

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of an initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance including any transfer or reissuance of such shares (the "Newly Issued Price")), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of an initial Business Combination, and (z) the volume-weighted average trading price of the Class A ordinary shares during the 10 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which the Company consummates an initial Business Combination is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 and $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices adjacent to "Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00." and "Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00." will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively.

The Private Placement Units (including the Private Placement Shares, the Private Placement Warrants and Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Units are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company accounts for the 9,705,000 warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (including 9,416,666 Public Warrants and 288,334 Private Placement Warrants) and the 2,354,166 Founder Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability. The Founder Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are precluded from equity classification due to a provision that provides for potential changes to the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant. The Public Warrants are precluded from equity classification due to a provision that in the event of a tender offer or exchange offer made to and accepted by holders of more than 65% of the outstanding ordinary shares, all holders of the warrants would be entitled to receive cash for their warrants.

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company record the warrants as derivative liabilities at fair value at issuance. The Public Warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Units in the Initial Public Offering equal to its fair value. The Private Placement Warrants were allocated a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Private Placement Units equal to its fair value. The warrant liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date. With each such re-measurement, the warrant liabilities are adjusted to current fair value, with the change in fair value recognized in the Company's condensed statements of operations. The Company will reassess the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the warrants will be reclassified as of the date of the event that causes the reclassification.

The measurement of the Public Warrants as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is classified as Level 2 due to limited trading activity under the ticker PLMJW. The quoted price representing the fair value of the Public Warrants was $0.07 and $0.06 per warrant as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

In prior periods, the Company utilized a Black-Scholes Option Pricing model for the initial valuation of the Founder Warrants and Private Placement Warrants and the subsequent measurement of the Founder Warrants and Private Placement Warrants. Inherent in pricing models are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield, which are considered Level 3 inputs. However, since a reasonable and acceptable volatility cannot be inferred from the option pricing model performed for the Founder Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Founder Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were set equal to the fair value of the Public Warrants. The fair value of the Founder Warrants and Private Placement Warrants was $0.07 and $0.06 per warrant as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Founder Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are classified as Level 2 due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset using recent trading prices.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 the Company recognized a gain of $723,550 and a loss of $120,592 on the changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities in the statements of operations, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a gain of $844,141 and $0on changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities in the statements of operations, respectively.

On July 30, 2024, the Company received a written notice (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company has failed to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2, which requires that a special purpose acquisition company must complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its IPO registration statement.

Pursuant to the Notice, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before The Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel"), the Company's securities will be subject to suspension and delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on August 6, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company's securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel to appeal the Notice and to request sufficient time to complete an initial business combination. A hearing request will stay the suspension of trading on the Company's securities, and the Company's securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market until the hearing process concludes and the Panel issues a written decision.

On August 8, 2024, the Company received a written notice (the "Second Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that, for the last 32 consecutive business days, the Market Value of Listed Securities ("MVLS") for the Company was below the $35 million minimum MVLS requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the "MVLS Rule"). The Second Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company's securities.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company will have 180 calendar days (the "Compliance Period") to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. To regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the MVLS for the Company must be at least $35 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during this Compliance Period. If the Company regains compliance with the MVLS Rule, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation and will close the matter.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule by the Compliance Date, Nasdaq will provide written notification that its securities will be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Nasdaq rules permit the Company an opportunity to appeal Nasdaq's determination.

The Company is monitoring its MVLS and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on February 5, 2021 as a Cayman Island exempted company and formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this Quarterly Report as our "initial business combination". We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of the initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") and the private placement of the Private Placement Units (as defined below), the proceeds of the sale of our shares in connection with our initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements we may enter into following the consummation of the Initial Public Offering or otherwise), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.

On July 30, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 25,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $250.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $13.75 million, of which $8.75 million was for deferred underwriting commissions. We granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 Units at the IPO price to cover over-allotments, if any. On August 3, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option, and the closing of the issuance and sale of the additional 3,250,000 Over-Allotment Units occurred on August 5, 2021. The issuance by the Company of the Over-Allotment Units at a price of $10.00 per unit resulted in total gross proceeds of approximately $32.5 million.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the Private Placement of 800,000 units, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit with Alpha Merger Technology Sponsor LLC (the "Original Sponsor"), generating gross proceeds of $8.0 million. Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Over-Allotment Units, the Company consummated the Private Placement with the Original Sponsor of 65,000 Additional Private Placement Units, generating total proceeds of $650,000.

Upon the closing of the IPO, the Private Placement, the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, and the sale of the Over-Allotment Private Placement Units, approximately $282.5 million of the net proceeds were placed in a Trust Account, located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and will be invested only in United States "government securities" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invests only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. In addition, a certain anchor investor advanced an aggregate amount of approximately $500,681 to the Company to cover the purchase of Private Placement Units. In April 2021, the Company repaid $681 to the anchor investor. Upon the closing of the IPO, the remaining advance of $500,000 was applied to the purchase of the Private Placement Units which the Company has since repaid.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

We must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, we will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the prospective partner company or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the prospective party company sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

If we are unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to consummate a Business Combination within the Combination Period.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we held cash of $49,390 and $0, respectively, current liabilities of $1,220,250 and $805, respectively. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our initial business combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete an initial business combination will be successful.

On December 27, 2023, the Company, the Original Sponsor, and the Sponsor entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which, at a closing on December 28, 2023, the Sponsor (i) purchased 3,902,648 founder units of the Company from the Original Sponsor, each unit consisting of one Class B ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant to acquire one Class B ordinary share, which founder units are subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances, and (ii) became entitled to 70% of the 2,030,860 founder units that Original Sponsor placed in escrow at the Closing to the extent such founder units are allocated to investors who hold and do not redeem their Class A ordinary shares of the Company at the time of the Company's initial business combination, for an aggregate purchase price of $1. Original Sponsor agreed to pay, or cause its affiliates to pay, certain liabilities of the Company accrued and outstanding as of the Closing. Following the closing, Original Sponsor has no further obligations with respect to the Company, and the Sponsor has assumed all obligations relating to the Company. Subsequently, on January 26, 2024, the Company, the Original Sponsor, and the Sponsor entered into an amended purchase agreement (the "Amended Purchase Agreement"), to correct the number of shares that the Original Sponsor shall retain to be 665,000 Class A private placement units and 1,128,992 Class B founder units.

Previous Letter of Intent

In our Form 10-Q as of and for the period ended March 31, 2023, we had recorded a balance of $374,975 in the receivable related to potential business combination line item on the condensed balance sheet. That balance represented a penalty if the target entity terminated the agreement. The target entity reimbursed the Company for transaction expenses and merger-related activities incurred through that date related to a prospective merger which was not completed. We received payment from the target entity in April 2023.

Extraordinary General Meeting

On July 27, 2023, the Company held an Extraordinary General Meeting (the "July Extraordinary General Meeting") whereby the shareholders approved an amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the "Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association"). The Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association extended the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from July 30, 2023 to July 30, 2024, or such earlier date as shall be determined by the Company's board of directors. In connection with the July Extraordinary General Meeting, the holders of 13,532,591 Class A ordinary shares, properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.41 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $140,838,808. After those redemptions, approximately $153,169,659 remained in the Company's trust account.

On January 29, 2024, the Company held an Extraordinary General Meeting (the "January Extraordinary General Meeting") whereby shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association in order to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination, cease its operations and redeem all of its Class A ordinary shares (the "Extension Proposal") to January 30, 2025, or such earlier date as shall be determined by the Company's board of directors and (ii) changed the name of the Company from Alpha Partners Technology Merger Corp. to Plum Acquisition Corp. III.

The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands on February 1, 2024.

In connection with the Extension Proposal, the Founder Share Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Proposal, the holders of 12,433,210 Class A ordinary shares, properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.78 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $134,059,215. The payments for these redemptions took place on February 27, 2024, after which $24,629,032 remained in the Company's Trust Account. As a result of the Extension Proposal being approved by the Company's shareholders, the Original Sponsor, or its designee is were no longer required to make monthly payments to the Company equal to the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $225,000 or (b) $0.03 per public share that remains outstanding On August 2, 2023, September 7, 2023, October 10, 2023, November 10, 2023, January 10, 2024, and January 25, 2024 $225,000, or $1,350,000 in the aggregate, was deposited into the Company's Trust Account.

To cover these monthly payments and other associated operating expenses, on January 3, 2024, the Company, the Sponsor and Palmeira Investment Limited (the "Investor") entered into a subscription agreement (the "Subscription Agreement"), pursuant to which the Sponsor may raise up to $1,500,000 from the Investor to fund extension payments and working capital for the Company, including $225,000 upon the execution of the Subscription Agreement, $225,000 on February 1, 2024, and as otherwise called by the Sponsor in its discretion. At the closing of the Company's initial business combination, the Sponsor will forfeit 0.85 Class B shares, and the Company will issue an equal number of shares of its common stock to the Investor, for each dollar funded by the Investor pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. If the Company's initial business combination does not occur, the Sponsor will not forfeit any shares.

Letter of Intent and Business Combination Agreement

On July 26, 2023, the Company signed a non-binding letter-of-intent ("LOI") for a business combination with Glowforge Inc. ("Glowforge"), creator of award-winning 3D laser printers.

Under the terms of the LOI, the Company would become a combined entity with Glowforge, with Glowforge's existing equity holders rolling 100% of their equity into the combined public company. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the LOI was terminated.

On August 22, 2024, the Company entered into a business combination agreement with corporation formed under the Laws of the Province of British Columbia ("Pubco"), and Tactical Resources Corp., a corporation formed under the Laws of the Province of British Columbia, pursuant to which the Company will amalgamate pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia ("BCBCA") to form one corporate entity, except that the legal existence of Pubco will not cease and Pubco will survive the amalgamation, following its redomicile into the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The business combination agreement and related executed agreements included supporting agreements are more fully described and filed with the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 22, 2024.

Purchase Agreement

On December 27, 2023, the Company, the Original Sponsor and the Sponsor entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which, at a closing on December 28, 2023 (the "Closing"), the Sponsor (i) purchased 3,902,648 founder units of the Company from the Original Sponsor, each unit consisting of one Class B ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant to acquire one Class B share, which Founder Units are subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances, and (ii) became entitled to 70% of 2,030,860 Founder Units that the Original Sponsor placed in escrow at the Closing to the extent such Founder Units are allocated to investors who hold and do not redeem their Class A ordinary shares of the Company at the time of the Company's initial Business Combination, for an aggregate purchase price of $1. On January 26, 2024, the Company, the Original Sponsor, and the Sponsor entered into an amended purchase agreement (the "Amended Purchase Agreement"), to correct the number of shares that the Original Sponsor shall retain to be 665,000 Class A private placement units and 1,128,992 Class B founder units.

The Original Sponsor and the Sponsor each agreed to pay $112,500 in extension contributions in each of December 2023 and January 2024. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Original Sponsor agreed to pay, or cause its affiliates to pay, certain liabilities of the Company accrued and outstanding as of the Closing and will deliver Founder Units to the Sponsor to the extent such liabilities are unsatisfied or the Original Sponsor's obligation to make extension contributions is not satisfied.

Following the Closing, the Original Sponsor has no further obligations with respect to the Company and the Sponsor assumed all obligations relating to the Company, including, (i) to cause the Company to file a proxy statement providing public investors of the Company with the option to accept a revised trust extension arrangement or redeem their Class A ordinary shares and receive their pro rata share of the Company's Trust Account, (ii) to cause the Company to satisfy all of its public reporting requirements as well as taking all action to cause the Company to remain listed on Nasdaq, (iii) the payment of all extension contributions after January 2024 and working capital of the Company, at the discretion of the Sponsor, and (iv) all other obligations of the Original Sponsor related to the Company.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenues to date. Our only activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were organizational activities and identifying a target company for a business combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial business combination. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest and dividend income on cash and investments held after the Initial Public Offering. 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 June 30, 2024, we recorded net income of $407,059, which resulted from a gain on fair value of warrant liability of $723,550, and interest and dividend income on investments held in the Trust Account of $283,319, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $599,810.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded net income of $3,943,986, which resulted from interest and dividend income on investments held in the Trust Account in the amount of $3,453,154, a gain on fair value of warrant liability of $844,141, and interest income on the bank account of $617, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $353,926.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded net income of $258,823, which resulted from interest and dividend income on investments held in the Trust Account of $1,375,300, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $995,885, and a loss on the changes in fair value of warrant liability of $120,592.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded net income of $6,064,849, which resulted from interest and dividend income on investments held in the Trust Account in the amount of $6,493,944, a gain on receivable related to potential business combination of $374,975, and interest income on the bank account of $624, partially offset by operating and formation costs of $804,694.

Liquidity, Going Concern and Capital Resources

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in operating activities was $444,477, which resulted from interest and dividend income on the investments held in the Trust Account of $1,375,300, partially offset by changes in working capital of $464,892, net income of $258,823, a gain on the changes in fair value of the convertible promissory note - related party of $120,592, and stock-based compensation of $86,516.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $422,356, which was due to interest and dividend income on the investments held in the Trust Account of $6,493,944, partially offset by net income of $6,064,849, and changes in working capital of $6,739.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided by investing activities was $133,609,215, which was due to cash withdrawn from the Trust Account to pay redeeming shareholders of $134,059,215, partially offset by cash deposited into the Trust Account of $450,000.

There were no cash flows from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $133,115,348, which was due to payments of cash to redeeming shareholders of $134,059,215, partially offset by proceeds for extension payments from the Old Sponsor of $225,000 and proceeds from Sponsor Promissory Notes related party (as defined in Note 5) of $718,867.

There were no cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash of $49,390 and $0 held outside the Trust Account. We will use these funds to primarily identify and evaluate prospective partner businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective partner businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective partner businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective partner businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.

We intend to use substantially all of the remaining funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes payable and deferred underwriting commissions), to complete our initial business combination. We may withdraw interest income (if any) to pay income taxes, if any. Our annual income tax obligations will depend on the amount of interest and other income earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account. We expect the interest income earned on the amount in the Trust Account (if any) will be sufficient to pay our income taxes. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the prospective partner, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we may repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our 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 our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units of the post-business combination company at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. The terms of such loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we do not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor, members of our management team or any of their affiliates as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in our Trust Account. As of December 31, 2023, the Original Sponsor has forgiven the funds loaned in connection with the Working Capital Loan.

We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our initial business combination. As such, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business through one year from the date that these unaudited condensed financial statements are filed, if we do not complete a business combination prior to such date. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of Public Shares upon completion of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. In addition, we intend to target businesses larger than we could acquire with the net proceeds of our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants and may as a result be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

As of June 30, 2024, we had $49,390 in cash held outside of the Trust Account and a working capital deficit of $1,109,289, which may not be sufficient for us to operate for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required under the Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5). There is no assurance that our attempts to find a partner for an initial Business Combination will be successful or successful within the Combination Period or that the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company's officers and directors will loan the Company funds as may be required under the Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 5 of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements). In August 2023, we entered into a $1,500,000 Working Capital Loan (as defined in Note 5) with APTM Sponsor Sub LLC to help cover monthly Trust Account contributions and other working capital needs. There is no guarantee that these funds will be sufficient to support all of our working capital needs.

The Company will have until January 30, 2025 to complete a Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not consummated by January 30, 2025 there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company.

In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 205-40 Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern, management has determined the factors disclosed above including the January 30, 2025 Combination Period deadline raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date that these unaudited condensed financial statements are filed. These unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Contractual Obligations

Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement

The holders of the Founder Units, Private Placement Units, warrants underlying the Founder Units and Private Placement Units (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants underlying the Founder Units) have registration and shareholder rights to require us to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement entered into on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding re-sale demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of an initial Business Combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

We granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the IPO price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On August 5, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 3,250,000 Units at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $32,500,000. On September 11, 2021, the remaining option expired.

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $5,650,000 in the aggregate, upon the closing of the IPO and partial exercise of the over-allotment option. In addition, $0.35 per unit, or $9,887,500 in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. On December 27, 2023, the underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their portion of the fee payable by the Company for deferred underwriting commissions, with respect to any potential business combination of the Company. Of the total $9,887,500 waived fee, $9,551,325 was recorded as a reduction to accumulated deficit and $336,175 was recorded as a gain on the waiver of deferred underwriting commissions by underwriters in the consolidated statements of operations, following a manner consistent with the original allocation of the deferred underwriting fees.

Subscription and Sponsor Promissory Note Agreement

On January 3, 2024, the Company, the Sponsor and Investor entered into a Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor may raise up to $1,500,000 from the Investor to fund extension payments to the Trust Account and working capital for the Company, including $250,000 upon the execution of the Subscription Agreement and $250,000 on February 20, 2024 and as otherwise called by the Sponsor in its discretion. At the closing of the Company's initial Business Combination, the Sponsor will forfeit 0.85 Class B shares, and the Company will issue an equal number of shares of its common stock to the Investor, for each dollar funded by the Investor pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. If the Company's initial Business Combination does not occur, the Sponsor will not forfeit any shares.

In July 2024, the Company entered into a promissory note with the Sponsor (the "Sponsor Promissory Note"), pursuant to which the Sponsor may loan up to $1,500,000 to the Company. The funds that will be loaned to the Company under the Sponsor Promissory Note consist of a portion of the up to $1,500,000 that was loan to the Sponsor by the Investor. If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Sponsor Promissory Note. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Sponsor Promissory Note. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the Company at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

The outstanding balance under the Subscription Agreement as of June 30, 2024 was $718,867. This balance includes deposits made into the Trust Account by the Sponsor of $112,500 on January 9, 2024 and January 24, 2024, payments made by the Sponsor on behalf of the Company totaling $243,867, and a loan draw of $250,000 on March 28, 2024 and May 6, 2024. Through the date of filing there have been no additional payments made or additional draws on the loan.

Non-Redemption Agreements

On January 17, 2024, January 23, 2024, and January 24, 2024, the Company and the Sponsor entered into non-redemption agreements (each, a "Non-Redemption Agreement") with one or more unaffiliated third party or parties (the "Investors") in exchange for each such third party or third parties agreeing not to redeem certain public Class A ordinary shares, $0.001 par value per share of the Company sold in its initial public offering (the "Non-Redeemed Shares") at the Adjourned Meeting. In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such Non-Redeemed Shares, the Sponsor will assign an economic interest in certain of its Founder Shares to the Investor at the rate of 1 Founder Share for each 4 Non-Redeemed Shares. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of 331,180 Founder Shares transferrable to the Non-Redeeming Shareholders pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreement to be $367,610 or $1.11 per share. The fair value was determined using a discount for the probability of an Initial Business Combination of 10.95% and a discount of 5% for the lack of redemption rights and the value per Founder Shares as of the valuation date of $10.71. The excess of the fair value of such Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, in substance, the indirect economic interest in the Founder Shares was recognized by the Company as a capital contribution in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5T by the Sponsor to induce these Non-Redeeming Stockholders not to redeem the Non-Redeemed Shares, with a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital to recognize the fair value of the Founder Shares subject to transfer as an offering cost.

Consulting Agreement - Stock Based Compensation

On February 12, 2024, the Sponsor entered into an independent contractor agreement and securities transfer agreement concurrently with the Company's Chief Financial Officer, for services related to due diligence of potential business combination partners and assisting with the negotiation and closing of an initial business combination for the Company. The Chief Financial Officer is entitled to receive a fee for service of $12,500 paid in amounts of $6,250 semi-monthly until the Company completes its initial business combination. These payments will be recorded as operating expenses of the Company. Additionally, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer 365,000 Founder Shares and 175,000 Founder Warrants of the Company to the Chief Financial Officer. At the earlier of the termination of the agreement and an initial business combination, the Chief Financial Officer has agreed to surrender a portion of the Class B ordinary shares based on the cash compensation paid multiplied by 1.5, up to a maximum of 165,000 Founder Shares. Lastly, the Chief Financial Officer shall be paid a success fee of $50,000 that is contingent upon the closing of the initial business combination. The compensation expense related to the Founder Share transfer will be amortized on a straight-line basis from the grant date of February 12, 2024 (the date at which the independent contractor agreement was signed, and the date at which all parties reached a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions of the share-based payment) to November 1, 2024 (vesting period of 8 months). Such Investment Advisory Agreement was accounted for under ASC 718.

Promissory Notes - Related Party

In July, 2024, we entered into a promissory note with Mercury Capital (the "Sponsor Promissory Note"). The principal balance of this Note shall be payable by Maker on the date on which the Maker consummates an initial business combination (the "Business Combination"). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or shareholder of Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of Maker hereunder. If the Maker has not consummated a Business Combination by the date provided in Article 49.7 of the Maker's Amended and Restated Articles of Association, as may be amended and restated from time to time (the "Articles"), then any obligation of the Maker to repay the principal balance of this Note shall be discharged in full and deemed forgiven by Payee. No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of this Note.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of condensed 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 condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:

Net Income Per Ordinary Share

Net income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from net income per share as the redemption value approximates fair value. Therefore, the income per share calculation allocates income shared pro rata between Class A and Class B ordinary shares. As a result, the calculated net income per share is the same for Class A and Class B ordinary shares. We have not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the IPO, Private Placement, warrants included in the founder units issued to our Original Sponsor to purchase an aggregate of 12,059,166 shares, or the effects of the 479,245 warrants that would be issuable upon conversion of the Subscription Agreement (as defined in Note 5) in the calculation of diluted income per share, because the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The Private Placement Shares (as defined in Note 4) that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loan are issuable at the option of the holder.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

All of the 28,250,000 Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such Public Shares in connection with our liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. In accordance with SEC and its staff's guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ("ASC 480"), redemption provisions not solely within our control require ordinary shares subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Therefore, all Public Shares have been classified outside of permanent equity. In connection with the July Extraordinary General Meeting, the holders of 13,532,591 Class A ordinary shares, properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.41 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $140,838,808. After those redemptions, approximately $153,169,659 remained in the Company's trust account. Therefore, all Public Shares have been classified outside of permanent equity. On January 29, 2024, 12,433,210 Class A ordinary shares were tendered for redemption by shareholders for a total value of $134,059,215. The payments for these redemptions took place on February 27, 2024, after which $24,629,032 remained in the Company's Trust Account, after which 2,284,199 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption remained outstanding.

We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable ordinary shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit.

Promissory Note - Related Party

We account for the Working Capital Loan (as defined in Note 5) under ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). We have made the election under ASC 815-15-25 to account for the Working Capital Loan under the fair value option. As of June 30, 2024, there was no principal amount outstanding under the Working Capital Loan, as the Working Capital Loan was forgiven by the Sponsor. The aggregate fair value of the Working Capital Loan upon issuance was $219,441. The aggregate fair value of the Working Capital Loan was $123,500 upon forgiveness. The Working Capital Loan was forgiven by the Sponsor on December 27, 2023. We account for the Sponsor Promissory Note (as defined in Note 5) at amortized cost. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issuance costs and any discount or premium on settlement. The outstanding balance under the Sponsor Promissory Note as of June 30, 2024 was $718,867.

Warrant Liabilities

We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant's specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company's own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the condensed statements of operations. The initial fair value of the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) was estimated using a binomial/lattice model and the initial and subsequent fair value of the Founder Warrants (as defined in Note 5) and Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4) was estimated using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (see Note 9). Due to the options pricing model not producing a meaningful volatility for the Founder Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Founder Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were set equal to the fair value of the Public Warrants.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses and related disclosures. Our critical accounting estimates are those estimates that involve a significant level of uncertainty at the time the estimate was made, and changes in them have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Our most critical accounting estimate includes determining the accruals associated with third party providers, the valuation of the Public and Private Placement Warrants, and the valuation of Founder Shares that will be issued in relation to the Non-Redemption Agreements and the consulting agreement.

Recent Accounting Standards

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its unaudited condensed financial statements and related disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

This item is not applicable as we are a smaller reporting company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company identified a material weakness in internal controls related to the compliance with an agreement we entered during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and the recording of necessary accruals in relation to that agreement. Additionally, the Company identified a material weakness in internal controls in relation to the proper accrual of fees owed to other vendors during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 (e) and 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective, as of June 30, 2024, due to the existence of the material weakness noted above.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We will expand and improve our review process for complex agreements and the corresponding complex accounting requirements We plan to further improve our processes by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement the existing accounting professionals. We additionally plan to enhance our communication with vendors around necessary accruals.
