Goldenstone Acquisition Limited Reports Significant Decrease in Net Income and Total Assets

Goldenstone Acquisition Limited reported its financial results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, revealing a net income of $18,240 for the quarter, a significant decrease from $562,676 in the same period last year. For the nine-month period, the company generated a net income of $99,459, down from $904,790 in the prior year. The decline in profitability is attributed to a substantial drop in interest income from investments held in the Trust Account, which fell to $211,618 for the quarter and $1,137,036 for the nine months, compared to $983,627 and $2,223,710, respectively, in the previous year.

The company’s total assets decreased to $18.7 million as of December 31, 2024, down from $55.8 million at the end of the previous fiscal period. This decline was primarily due to a reduction in cash and investments held in the Trust Account, which dropped from $55.5 million to $18.5 million. The decrease in cash was largely driven by the redemption of common stock, with approximately $38 million withdrawn to pay redeeming stockholders in June 2024. The company reported a working capital deficit of $4 million, up from $2.9 million in the prior period, indicating increased financial pressure.

In terms of strategic developments, Goldenstone has entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Infintium Fuel Cell Systems, Inc., which is expected to change the company’s name to "Infintium Fuel Cell Systems Holdings, Inc." upon completion. The agreement was approved by the board of directors and is pending stockholder approval. The company has also extended its deadline to complete a business combination to June 21, 2025, following stockholder votes that allowed for multiple extensions.

Operationally, Goldenstone has not yet commenced any significant business activities, as it remains focused on identifying a suitable target for its initial business combination. The company has maintained its employee headcount at 1,846,250 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The filing indicates that the company is classified as a smaller reporting company and an emerging growth company, which allows it to take advantage of certain regulatory exemptions.

Looking ahead, Goldenstone's management has expressed concerns regarding its ability to continue as a going concern, given the current liquidity challenges and the need to complete a business combination by the extended deadline. The company has indicated that if it fails to complete a business combination by February 21, 2025, it may have to liquidate. The management's plan to address these uncertainties includes potential working capital loans from its sponsors, but there is no assurance that these plans will be successful.
