6.We refer to your statement on page 39 that the "as adjusted" information contemplates
repayment of up to $700,000 in loans from GPIC, Ltd., and $400,000 in loans from IDS
III LLC. You also state here in note 2 that these loans will be repaid upon completion of
the offering "out of the $600,000 of offering proceeds that has been allocated for the
payment of offering expenses (other than underwriting commissions) not held in the trust
account." However, the $600,000 amount does not appear to be included in the second
table, which shows the use of net proceeds that are not held in the trust account. In
addition, please clarify how you will repay any loans that exceed this $600,000 amount. In
this regard, we note your statement in note 2 that as of December 31, 2023, the
outstanding amount was already $682,182.
