ESH Acquisition Corp. reported a net loss of $227,688 for the three months ending March 31, 2025, a significant decline from a net income of $1,139,101 during the same period in 2024. The company's operating expenses increased to $273,943, up from $213,567 a year earlier, while interest income from investments held in the Trust Account fell sharply to $86,251 from $1,565,317. This decline in interest income is attributed to lower yields on investments, reflecting broader market conditions. The basic and diluted net loss per share for the period was $(0.06), compared to a profit of $0.08 per share in the prior year.

As of March 31, 2025, ESH Acquisition Corp. reported total assets of $9,737,055, a decrease from $9,978,330 at the end of 2024. Current assets included $923,433 in cash and $356,657 in restricted cash, while investments held in the Trust Account amounted to $8,251,810, down from $8,485,212. The company’s liabilities totaled $1,642,124, with accounts payable and accrued expenses slightly decreasing from the previous quarter. The Class A common stock subject to possible redemption increased to $8,280,297, reflecting the redemption value of shares held by investors.

Strategically, ESH Acquisition Corp. has not yet completed any business combinations since its inception in November 2021. The company is actively seeking a target for its Initial Business Combination, which must be completed by December 16, 2025, following an extension approved by stockholders in December 2024. The company has also entered into agreements with its Sponsor to fund potential extension loans to facilitate this process. As of March 31, 2025, the company had not drawn on any working capital loans but has the option to convert up to $1.5 million of such loans into warrants.

Looking ahead, ESH Acquisition Corp. faces challenges related to its liquidity and the need to complete a business combination within the specified timeframe. The company has expressed concerns about its ability to continue as a going concern if it fails to complete a business combination by the deadline. Management is actively evaluating potential targets and plans to utilize the funds held in the Trust Account for this purpose. The company’s stock is currently trading on the Nasdaq Global Market, but it has received a notice regarding its market value falling below the required threshold for continued listing, which adds further pressure to its operational timeline.
