UNAUDITED Notes to the financial statements

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Organizational and General

Bowen Acquisition Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on February 17, 2023. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector 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.

The Company’s sponsors are Createcharm Holdings Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company, and Bowen Holding LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Sponsors”). As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from February 17, 2023 (inception) through March 31, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, the initial public offering (“IPO”) and initial business combination, which is described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of an initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company is generating non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO (the “Registration Statement”) was declared effective on July 11, 2023. On July 14, 2023, the Company consummated the IPO of 6,000,000 of its units (“Public Units”). Each Public Unit consists of one ordinary share, $0.0001 par value (“Ordinary Shares”), of the Company and one right (“Rights”), each Right entitling the holder thereof to receive one-tenth of one ordinary share upon the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 330,000 units (“Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating total proceeds of $3,300,000. The Private Placement Units were purchased by Createcharm Holdings Ltd, one of the Company’s sponsors, and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”), the representative of the underwriters in the IPO. The Private Placement Units are identical to the Units included in the Public Units sold in the IPO. The purchasers of the Private Placement Units have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Units or Ordinary Shares or Rights underlying the Private Placement Units (except to certain transferees) until after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

As of July 18, 2023, transaction costs amounted to $3,318,898 consisting of $1,725,000 of cash underwriting fees and $1,593,898 of other offering costs. These costs were charged to additional paid-in capital or accumulated deficit to the extent additional paid-in capital is fully depleted upon completion of the IPO.

The Company will have until 15 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 18 months, if the Company extends the time to complete a Business Combination as permitted in its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association) to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). However, if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Combination Period and shareholders have not otherwise amended the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend this 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 100% of 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 and not previously released to us to pay the Company’s taxes, if any (less certain amount of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish the rights of the Public Shareholders as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Public Shareholders and its Board of Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

On November 20, 2023, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Bowen Merger Sub (“Merger Sub”) was formed for the purpose of entering into a business combination agreement. See “Proposed Business Combination” below.

Proposed Business Combination

On January 18, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with (i) Bowen Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), (ii) Shenzhen Qianzhi BioTechnology Co. Ltd., a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China and a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (as defined below) (“Shenzhen Qianzhi”), and (iii) Qianzhi Group Holding (Cayman) Limited, a newly formed Cayman Islands company (“NewCo,” and collectively with the Company, Merger Sub and Shenzhen Qianzhi, the “Parties”, each a “Party”).

Pursuant to the Agreement, at the closing of the business combination, Merger Sub will merge with and into NewCo (the “Merger”), with NewCo being the surviving company of the Merger (“Surviving Company”) and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In the Merger, the holders (the “NewCo Shareholders”) of the ordinary shares of NewCo (“NewCo Ordinary Shares”) will receive ordinary shares of the Company (“Parent Ordinary Shares”).

Pursuant to the Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all of NewCo Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the right to receive an aggregate of (a) 7,246,377 Parent Ordinary Shares (the “Merger Shares”), and (b) the right to receive earnout consideration of up to an aggregate of 1,400,000 Parent Ordinary Shares (the “Earnout Shares”).

Going Concern Consideration

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $335,959 and a working capital of $239,601 (excluding $25,803 due from Shenzhen Qianzhi). The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a public traded company and to incur transaction costs in pursuit of a Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management believes that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and such period is not extended, there will be a liquidation and subsequent dissolution. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the 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 complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. The interim results for the period ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2024. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2024.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (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.

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 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 the consolidated financial statement in conformity with US 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 financial statement.

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 financial statement, 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 significantly from those 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 a cash balance of $335,959 and $426,913 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Investments Held in Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of investments only in U.S. government securities with a maturity 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. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair value of investments held in the Trust Account is determined using available market information. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Trust Account had balance of $72,342,850 and $71,419,358, respectively. The interest and dividend income earned from the Trust Account totaled $923,492 and $0 for three months ended March 31, 2024 and for the period from February 17, 2023 (inception) through March 31, 2023, respectively, which were fully reinvested into the Trust Account as earned and unrealized gain on investments and therefore presented as an adjustment to the operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Offering Costs

Offering costs consist of legal and other costs (including underwriting discounts and commissions) incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the IPO and that were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO on July 14, 2023.

Income Taxes

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

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 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.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

Net Income (Loss) per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per redeemable share and income (loss) per non-redeemable share following the two-class method of income per share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less any dividends paid. The Company then allocated the undistributed income (loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the common shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public shareholders. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the period presented.

The net income (loss) per share presented in the statements of operations is based on the following:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024			For the Period from February 17, 2023 (Inception) Through March 31, 2023
Net income (loss)	$	786,362		$	(3,105	)

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. 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.

At March 31, 2024, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected in the balance sheet are reconciled in the following table:

Public offering proceeds	$	60,000,000

Proceeds allocated to Public Rights		(3,272,724	)

Recent Accounting Standards

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

NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On July 14, 2023, the Company sold 6,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Ten Public Rights will entitle the holder to one ordinary share (see Note 7). The Company will not issue fractional shares and only whole shares will trade, so unless a holder purchased units in multiples of tens, such holder will not be able to receive or trade the fractional shares underlying the rights. The Company also granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 units to cover over-allotments. The over-allotment was subsequently fully exercised on July 17, 2023. See Note 1 for further details.

NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

The Sponsors and EBC had agreed to purchase an aggregate of 330,000 Private Placement Units (312,000 Private Placement Units to be purchased by the Sponsors and 18,000 Private Placement Units to be purchased by EBC or its designees), or 361,500 Private Placement Units if the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised in full, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit ($3,300,000, or an aggregate of $3,615,000 if the underwriters’ over-allotment is exercised in full) from the Company in a private placement that will occur simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO on July 14, 2023, the Company consummated the private sale of 330,000 Private Placement Units. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one ordinary share and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units were added to the net proceeds from the IPO 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 held in the Trust Account will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law). The Private Placement Units (including the underlying securities) will not be transferable, assignable, or salable until the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.

On July 17, 2023, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full. See Note 1 for more details.

NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTIES

Founder Shares and EBC Founder Shares

On February 27, 2023, the Sponsors received 1,725,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares (“Founder Shares”) in exchange for $25,000 paid for offering costs borne by the Sponsors. Up to 225,000 of such Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full.

On March 15, 2023, the Company issued to EBC 180,000 ordinary shares (“EBC founder shares”) for a purchase price of $0.014 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $2,520. The EBC founder shares are deemed to be underwriters’ compensation by FINRA pursuant to Rule 5110 of the FINRA Manual. The Company estimated the fair value of the EBC founder shares to be approximately $1,016,000 or $5.65 per share using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company accounted for the difference between the par value and fair value of the shares as offering cost.

The fair value of the EBC founder shares was estimated at March 15, 2023. The Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of EBC founder shares using Level 3 fair value measurements inputs at the measurement date:

Time to expiration	1.84
Risk-free rate	4.0	%
Volatility	5.0	%
Dividend yield	0.0	%
Probability of completion of business combination	60.0	%

The Sponsors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) six months after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction after an initial Business Combination that results in all of the Company’s public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. EBC has also agreed, subject to exceptions, that the EBC founder shares cannot be sold, transferred or assigned, until the consummation of an initial business combination.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On February 27, 2023, the Sponsors issued an unsecured promissory note to the Company (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2023, or (ii) the consummation of the IPO. The Promissory Note expired on July 14, 2023. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding under the Promissory Note.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the date of IPO to purchase up to 900,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $0.25 per Unit, or $1,500,000 in the aggregate (or $1,725,000 in the aggregate if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full), payable upon the closing of the IPO.

On July 17, 2023, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full to purchase 900,000 Units. As a result, on July 18, 2023, the Company sold an additional 900,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $9,000,000.

Due to Related Party

The Sponsors paid certain formation, operating or offering costs on behalf of the Company. These amounts were due on demand and non-interest bearing. As of March 31, 2024, the Sponsors had paid $151,318 on behalf of the Company for expenses related to IPO, which was fully repaid upon closing of the IPO on July 14, 2023 out of the offering proceeds held in trust account.

For the period from February 17, 2023 (inception) through March 31, 2023, the Company did not incur any fees for these services.

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, EBC founder shares, Private Placement Units will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated on the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on July 11, 2023 requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. Subject to certain limitations set forth in such agreement, the holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until the securities covered thereby are released from their lock-up restrictions. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

The Company has engaged EBC as an advisor in connection with its Business Combination to assist in holding meetings with the Company stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with its initial Business Combination and assist with press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination.

(“Qianzhi”). Per the agreed terms, Qianzhi agreed to be responsible for all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with business combination. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, $206,803 of business combination related cost has been incurred which $181,000 was reimbursed by Qianzhi. This activity has been recorded net in accompanying financial statements. As of March 31, 2024, the receivable from Qianzhi and accrued to service providers was $25,803.

NOTE 7 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 2,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no preferred shares issued or outstanding.

Ordinary Shares — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each share. On February 27, 2023, the Sponsors received 1,725,000 of the Founder Shares in exchange for $25,000 paid for offering costs borne by the Sponsors, of which an aggregate of up to 225,000 of such Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares will equal 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares after the IPO (excluding shares underlying the Private Placement Units). No ordinary shares are subject to forfeiture since the over-allotment was fully exercised on July 17, 2023. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 2,266,500 ordinary shares issued and outstanding (excluding 6,900,000 shares subject to possible redemption).

Rights — Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving company in a business combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share upon consummation of the initial Business Combination. The Company will not issue fractional shares in connection with an exchange of rights. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of Cayman law. In the event the Company is not the surviving company upon completion of the initial Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of one ordinary share underlying each right upon consummation of the business combination. If the Company is unable to complete the initial Business Combination within the required time period and the Company will redeem the public shares for the funds held in the trust account, holders of rights will not receive any of such funds for their rights and the rights will expire worthless.

NOTE 8 — Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

Date	Trading Securities	Level		Fair Value
March 31, 2024	Marketable securities held in the trust account		1	$	72,342,850

December 31, 2023	Marketable securities held in the trust account		1	$	71,419,358

NOTE 9 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were available to be issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

References to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Bowen Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes related thereto. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. While we intend to focus our search on businesses in Asia, we are not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating an initial business combination. We have not selected any specific business combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of this offering and the private placement of the private units, the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial business combination, our shares, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities since inception through March 31, 2024 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the IPO described below and identifying a target company for our initial Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our initial Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held after the IPO. We expect that we will incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, a Business Combination.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had a net income of $786,362, which consists of loss of $137,130 derived from formation and operating costs offset by income earned on Trust Account of $923,492.

For the period from February 17, 2023 (inception) through March 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $3,105, which consists of loss of $3,105 derived from formation and operating costs.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

On July 14, 2023, we consummated our IPO of Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our IPO, we consummated the sale of 330,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Sponsors, generating total gross proceeds of $3,300,000.

On July 17, 2023, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full to purchase 900,000 Units. As a result, on July 18, 2023, we sold an additional 900,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the full exercise of the over-allotment option, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 31,500 Private Placement Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of $315,000. Transaction costs amounted to $3,243,898 consisting of $1,725,000 of cash underwriting fees and $1,518,898 of other offering costs.

Following the closing of the IPO and the sale of over-allotment units, an amount of $69,690,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account. The funds held in the Trust Account may be invested in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account, to complete our initial business combination. To the extent that our capital stock 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 target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we have available to us the approximately $700,000 of proceeds held outside the trust account. We will use these funds primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a business combination, and to pay taxes to the extent the interest earned on the trust account is not sufficient to pay our taxes.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds following this offering in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination.

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash of $335,959 and a working capital of $239,601 (excluding $25,803 due from Shenzhen Qianzhi). The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a public traded company and to incur transaction costs in pursuit of a Business Combination. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management believes that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and such period is not extended, there will be a liquidation and subsequent dissolution. As a result, management has determined that such additional condition also raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.

Related Party Transactions

Please refer to Financial Statement Note 5 - Related Parties.

Other Contractual Obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities reflected on our balance sheet.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, EBC founder shares, Private Placement Units will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated July 11, 2023 requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. Subject to certain limitations set forth in such agreement, the holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until the securities covered thereby are released from their lock-up restrictions. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

We have engaged EBC as an advisor in connection with its Business Combination to assist in holding meetings with the Company stockholders to discuss the potential Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing its securities in connection with its initial Business Combination and assist with press releases and public filings in connection with the Business Combination. The Company will pay EBC a service fee for such services upon the consummation of its initial Business Combination in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO. In addition, the Company will pay EBC a service fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the total consideration payable in the initial Business Combination if it introduces the Company to the target business with whom it completes an initial Business Combination and the amount will be payable in cash and is due at the closing date of the initial Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates and all the significant accounting policies are described in the Note 2 of this reviewed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure 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 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.

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 March 31, 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 due solely to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to the Company’s lack of qualified SEC reporting professional. As a result, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with US GAAP]. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, result of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Management intends to continue implement remediation steps to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we intend to expand and improve our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We have improved this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
