Overview
Flag Ship Acquisition Company is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on May 14, 2018. The company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
Proposed GFT Business Combination
On April 18, 2025, Flag Ship entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Great Future Technology Inc. (GFT), a Cayman Islands company, and GFT Merger Sub Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GFT. Pursuant to the agreement, Flag Ship will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of GFT.
Results of Operations
Flag Ship’s activities since inception have been related to its formation, preparation for the initial public offering, and the search for a prospective target for its initial business combination. The company has not generated any operating revenues to date, but has earned non-operating income in the form of interest and dividend income from the funds held in the Trust Account.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Flag Ship had net income of $577,698, consisting of $739,769 in interest and dividends earned on the Trust Account, partially offset by $162,071 in formation and operating expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the company had a net loss of $75,788, consisting entirely of formation and operating expenses.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
Flag Ship completed its initial public offering on June 20, 2024, raising $69 million in gross proceeds. An additional $2.38 million was raised through the sale of private placement units. The funds from the IPO and private placement were deposited into a Trust Account.
As of March 31, 2025, Flag Ship had $71.5 million in cash and investments held in the Trust Account, and $35,705 in cash held outside the Trust Account. The company intends to use the funds in the Trust Account, excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete its business combination.
Flag Ship has incurred and expects to continue incurring significant costs to remain a publicly traded company and to pursue a business combination. The company may need to raise additional capital through loans or investments to meet its working capital needs. There is substantial doubt about Flag Ship’s ability to continue as a going concern if it is unable to complete a business combination by the required deadline.
Contractual Obligations
Flag Ship’s key contractual obligations include:
Critical Accounting Estimates and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Flag Ship has not identified any critical accounting estimates. The company’s management does not believe that any recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the financial statements.
JOBS Act
As an emerging growth company, Flag Ship is allowed to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards. This may result in the company’s financial statements not being comparable to those of non-emerging growth public companies.
