1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION (cont.)

 

The reverse recapitalization is equivalent to the issuance of securities by TP Holdings for the net monetary assets of FLFV, accompanied by a recapitalization. The Company debited equity for the fair value of the net liabilities of FLFV. In the subsequent financial statements after the Business Combination, the amounts of assets and liabilities for the period before the reverse recapitalization in financial statements, are presented as those of TP Holdings and recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts. The equity account of TP Holdings was carried forward in the reverse recapitalization, subject to adjustments to reflect the par value of the outstanding capital stock of FLFV.

 

As part of the Business Combination, the Company issued 5,279,673 shares of common stock to the shareholders of FLFV, among which 2,443,750 shares of common stock were issued to the Initial Insiders (defined below), 548,761 shares of common stock were issued to Private Shareholders (defined below), 2,227,162 shares of common stock were issued to Public Shareholders (defined below) and 60,000 shares of common stock were issued to the underwriter in FLFV’s initial public offering as representative shares.

 

Initial Insiders were comprised of Feutune Light Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), US Tiger Securities, Inc (“US Tiger”). and certain officers and directors of the Company. The Private Shareholders referred to the Sponsor and US Tiger. The Public Shareholders referred to the shareholders who held the public shares that were issued in the initial public offering of FLFV.

 

Upon closing of the Business Combination, the Company issued an aggregated 90,000 shares of common stock to three independent directors of FLFV. The fair value of these shares was $900,000 by reference to the per share price of $10.00.

 

In connection with the Business Combination, FLFV engaged a third party financial advisor to assist FLFV in locating target businesses, holding meetings with its shareholders to discuss a potential business combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce FLFV to potential investors that are interested in purchasing securities, assist FLFV in obtaining shareholder approval for the business combination and assist with press releases and public filings in connection with a business combination. On June 21, 2024, the Company issued 1,200,000 shares of common stock to the financial advisor as service fees. The fair value of the 1,200,000 shares of common stock issued to the financial advisor was $3,072,000, calculated at $2.56 per share by reference to the Nasdaq closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 21, 2024.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. As such, the information included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2023 that was issued on March 14, 2024.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, these unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, which are only of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024 and the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar.

 

Basis of consolidation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates and assumptions using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on past experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, determinations of the useful lives and valuation of long-lived assets, estimates of allowances for doubtful accounts, and other provisions and contingencies. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

	Level 1 —	inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	Level 2 —	inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
	Level 3 —	inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprised of current assets and current liabilities including cash, other current assets, due to related parties, other payables, lease liabilities and underwriter fee payable. The carrying amount of these current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Cash

 

Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdraw and use.

 

Prepaid expenses for forward purchase contract

 

On June 11, 2024, FLFV and TP Holdings entered into an agreement with (i) Meteora Capital Partners, LP (“MCP”), (ii) Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“MSTO”), and (iii) Meteora Strategic Capital, LLC (“MSC” and, collectively with MCP and MSTO, the “Seller”, or, the “Meteora”) (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”). For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, (i) FLFV is referred to as the “Counterparty” prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, while the Company is referred to as the “Counterparty” after the consummation of the Business Combination and (ii) “Shares” means shares of the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of FLFV prior to the closing of the Business Combination, and, after the closing of the Business Combination, shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Seller intends, but is not obligated, to purchase up to 4,900,000 Shares (the “Purchased Amount”), less the number of shares purchased by the Seller separately from third parties through a broker in the open market (“Recycled Shares”). The Seller will not be required to purchase an amount of shares such that following such purchase, the Seller’s ownership would exceed 9.9% of the total Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such purchase, unless the Seller, at its sole discretion, waives such 9.9% ownership limitation.

 

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides for a prepayment shortfall in an amount in U.S. dollars equal to 0.25% of the product of the Recycled Shares and the Initial Price which is equal to the redemption price of $11.1347 (the “Prepayment Shortfall”). The Seller will pay the Prepayment Shortfall to the Company on the prepayment date (which amount will be netted from the Prepayment Amount) (the “Initial Prepayment Shortfall”).

Prepaid expenses for forward purchase contract (cont.)

 

The Seller in its sole discretion may sell Recycled Shares at any time following June 11, 2024 and at any sales price, without payment by the Seller of any early termination obligation until such time as the proceeds from such sales equal 110% of the Prepayment Shortfall (such sales, “Shortfall Sales,” and such shares, “Shortfall Sale Shares”). A sale of shares is only (a) a “Shortfall Sale,” subject to the terms and conditions applicable to Shortfall Sale Shares, when a Shortfall Sale Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, and (b) an Optional Early Termination, subject to the terms and conditions of the Forward Purchase Agreement applicable to Terminated Shares (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement), when an OET Notice (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, in each case the delivery of such notice in the sole discretion of the Seller (as further described under “Optional Early Termination” and “Shortfall Sales” in the Forward Purchase Agreement).

 

The Seller will purchase “Additional Shares” from the Counterparty at any date prior to the Valuation Date at the Initial Price, with such number of Shares to be specified in a Pricing Date Notice as Additional Shares subject to 9.9% ownership limitations which may be waived by Seller at its sole discretion; provided that such number of Additional Shares that may be purchased from the Counterparty will not exceed (x) the Maximum Number of Shares, minus (y) the Recycled Shares.

 

The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that the Seller will be paid directly an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to (x) the product of (i) the number of Shares as set forth in a Pricing Date Notice and (ii) the redemption price per share of $11.1347, less (y) the Initial Prepayment Shortfall. In addition to the Prepayment Amount, the Counterparty will pay directly from the Trust Account, on the Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the product of (x) up to 100,000 (with such final amount to be determined by Seller in its sole discretion via written notice to the Counterparty) and (y) the Initial Price. The Shares purchased with the Share Consideration (the “Share Consideration Shares”) will be incremental to the Maximum Number of Shares (as defined below) and will not be included in the number of Shares in connection with the Transaction under the Forward Purchase Agreement.

 

The reset price (the “Reset Price”) will initially be $10.00. The Reset Price will be subject to reset on a weekly basis commencing the first week following the thirtieth day after the closing of the Business Combination to be the lowest of (a) the then current Reset Price, (b) the Initial Price and (c) the VWAP Price of the Shares of the prior trading weeks; provided that the Reset Price will be subject to reduction upon a Dilutive Offering Reset immediately upon the occurrence of such Dilutive Offering. The “Maximum Number of Shares” subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement will initially be the Purchased Amount; upon the occurrence of a Dilutive Offering Reset, a number of Shares equal to the quotient of (i) the Purchased Amount divided by (ii) the quotient of (a) the price of such Dilutive Offering divided by (b) the $10.00. The “Maximum Number of Shares” subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement will initially be the Purchased Amount; upon the occurrence of a Dilutive Offering Reset, a number of Shares equal to the quotient of (i) the Purchased Amount divided by (ii) the quotient of (a) the price of such Dilutive Offering divided by (b) the $10.00.

Prepaid expenses for forward purchase contract (cont.)

 

From time to time and on any date following the Trade Date (any such date, an “OET Date”) and subject to the terms and conditions in the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Seller may, in its absolute discretion, terminate the Transaction in whole or in part by providing written notice to the Counterparty (the “OET Notice”), by the later of (a) the fifth Local Business Day following the OET Date and (b) no later than the next Payment Date following the OET Date, (which will specify the quantity by which the number of Shares will be reduced (such quantity, the “Terminated Shares”)). The effect of an OET Notice will be to reduce the number of Shares by the number of Terminated Shares specified in such OET Notice with effect as of the related OET Date. As of each OET Date, the Counterparty will be entitled to an amount from the Seller, and the Seller will pay to the Counterparty an amount, equal to the product of (x) the number of Terminated Shares and (y) the Reset Price in respect of such OET Date (except that no amount will be due to Counterparty upon any Shortfall Sale). The payment date may be changed within a quarter at the mutual agreement of the parties.

 

The “Valuation Date” is the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is 36 months after the Closing Date, (b) the date specified by the Seller in a written notice to be delivered to the Counterparty at the Seller’s discretion (which Valuation Date will not be earlier than the day such notice is effective) after the occurrence of any of (v) a Shortfall Variance Registration Failure, (w) a VWAP Trigger Event, (x) a Delisting Event, (y) a Registration Failure or (z) unless otherwise specified therein, upon any Additional Termination Event, and (c) the date specified by the Seller in a written notice to be delivered to the Counterparty at the Seller’s sole discretion (which Valuation Date will not be earlier than the day such notice is effective). The Valuation Date notice will become effective immediately upon its delivery from the Seller to the Counterparty in accordance with the Forward Purchase Agreement.

  

On June 15, 2024, the Sellers issued a pricing date notice to the Company, pursuant to which the Sellers had 1,089,038 shares of Recycled Shares. Together with the 100,000 Share Consideration Shares and net off Prepayment Shortfall, the Company made a total of Prepayments Amount of $13,264,964 to the Sellers. The Company recorded the prepayment in the account of “prepaid expenses for forward purchase contract” on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company will subsequently derecognize the prepayments when the Sellers sell the Recycled Shares. The difference between the fair value on the date when the Sellers sell the Recycled Shares and $11.1347 will be charged to additional paid-in capital. The Company assessed that there are no material risks arising from the Forward Purchase Agreement. On July 10, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,706,461 shares of the Company’s common stock to Meteora pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement and Subscription Agreement.

 

On July 2, 2024, the Sellers purchased and the Company issued additional 3,706,461 shares of the Company’s common stock to Meteora pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement and Subscription Agreement. The sellers made a prepayment shortfall of $150,000. The Company recorded the proceeds from shortfall prepayments as a reduction against the account of “prepaid expenses for forward purchase contract”. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had outstanding balance of prepaid expenses for forward purchase contract of $13,114,964.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

Property and equipment, net

 

Property and equipment primarily consist of office equipment. Office equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation less any provision required for impairment in value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method with no residual value based on the estimated useful lives of five years.

 

Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and asset improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Underwriter fee payable

 

The underwriter fee payable was due to two underwriters of FLFV in the initial public offering. Pursuant to the underwriter agreements, the Company paid a total underwriter fee of 2.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $1,955,000 to the underwriters at the closing of the IPO. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to an underwriter fee of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $3,421,250 upon the closing of the Business Combination.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company paid a total of $500,000 to both underwriters. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had underwriter fee payable of $2,921,250.

  

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, share-based compensation and benefits for employees involved in general corporate functions, depreciation, legal and professional services fees, rental and other general corporate related expenses.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method, the recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

 

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable income to be utilized with prior net operating loss carried forwards. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the statements of operations, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

 

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred.

Income taxes (cont.)

 

The Company may be subject to income taxes in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, when applicable. The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and is required to pay either income tax or franchise tax, whichever is applicable, to the State of Delaware on an annual basis. The Company is also registered as a foreign corporation with the State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury The Company would be subject to New Jersey state tax laws if it has operation in the State of New Jersey.

 

Under the current and applicable laws of BVI, both TP Holdings and TP NEV are not subject to tax on income or capital gains. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no temporary differences and no deferred tax asset or liability recognized. The Company does not believe that there was any uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Operating leases

 

The Company leases its offices, which are classified as operating leases in accordance with Topic 842. Operating leases are required to record in the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. The Company has elected the package of practical expedients, which allows the Company not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date are or contain a lease, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date, and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date. The Company elected the short-term lease exemption as the lease terms are 12 months or less.

 

At the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease.

 

The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. There was no impairment for right-of-use lease assets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to the holders of common stock by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during period presented. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the holders of common stock as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary share equivalents, if any, by the weighted average number of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. However, ordinary share equivalents are not included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation when inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.

 

Commitments and contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of its business, that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450, the Company records accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Commitments and contingencies (cont.)

 

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) provides that an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined therein, can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an EGC to delay adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company qualifies as an EGC as of December 31, 2021 and has elected to apply the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an EGC or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

 

Recently issued accounting standards

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which is an update to Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in this update related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) adding disclosures of pretax income (or loss) and income tax expense (or benefit) to be consistent with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X 210.4-08(h), Rules of General Application—General Notes to Financial Statements: Income Tax Expense, and (2) removing disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial or relevant. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted.

 

 In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements — codification amendments in response to SEC’s disclosure Update and Simplification initiative which amend the disclosure or presentation requirements of codification subtopic 230-10 Statement of Cash Flows—Overall, 250-10 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections— Overall, 260-10 Earnings Per Share— Overall, 270-10 Interim Reporting— Overall, 440-10 Commitments—Overall, 470-10 Debt—Overall, 505-10 Equity—Overall, 815-10 Derivatives and Hedging—Overall, 860-30 Transfers and Servicing—Secured Borrowing and Collateral, 932-235 Extractive Activities— Oil and Gas—Notes to Financial Statements, 946-20 Financial Services— Investment Companies— Investment Company Activities, and 974-10 Real Estate—Real Estate Investment Trusts—Overall. The amendments represent changes to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of above subtopics. Many of the amendments allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the SEC’s requirements. Also, the amendments align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to existing SEC disclosure requirements or those that must provide financial statements to the SEC for securities purposes without contractual transfer restrictions, the effective date aligns with the date when the SEC removes the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. Early adoption is not allowed. For all other entities, the amendments will be effective two years later from the date of the SEC’s removal.

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on it’s the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

Significant risks and uncertainties

 

Credit risk

 

Assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and amounts due from related parties. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amount as at the balance sheet dates. As of September 30, 2024, the Company held cash of $33,636, among which $31,597 was deposits in bank accounts in Taiwan, $1,789 deposited in bank accounts in the United States and $250 in bank accounts in Hong Kong.

 

Bank accounts in each bank in Taiwan is insured by the government authority with the maximum limit of TW$3,000,000 (equivalent to approximately $94,800). Each bank account in the United States is insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance with the maximum limit of $250,000. Each bank account in Hong Kong is insured by the government authority with the maximum limit of HK$500,000 (equivalent to approximately $64,000). To limit exposure to credit risk relating to deposits, the Company primarily place cash and cash equivalent deposits with large financial institutions in the United States and Hong Kong which management believes are of high credit quality and the Company also continually monitors their credit worthiness.

 

3. GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has been incurring losses from operations since its inception. Accumulated loss amounted to $36,904,151 and $34,429,895 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities were $905,358   and $552,245 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the working capital was $(6,574,793) and $653,839, respectively. The working capital excluded the non-cash items, which are prepaid expenses for the Forward Purchase Agreement, deferred offering costs and advance of subscription fees from shareholders. These conditions raised substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s liquidity is based on its ability to generate cash from operating activities, obtain capital financing from equity interest investors and borrow funds on favorable economic terms to fund its general operations and capital expansion needs. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to successfully raise more capitals and execute its business plan, which includes increasing revenue while controlling operating cost and expenses to generate positive operating cash flows and obtaining funds from outside sources of financing to generate positive financing cash flows. Currently, the Company is working to improve its liquidity and capital sources mainly through borrowing from related parties and obtaining financial support from its principal shareholder who has agreed to continue providing funds for the Company’s working capital needs whenever needed.

 

In addition, in order to fully implement its business plan and sustain continued growth, the Company is also actively seeking financing from outside investors, borrowings from related parties and financial institutions. However, there can be no assurance that these plans and arrangements will be sufficient to fund the Company’s ongoing capital expenditure, working capital, and other requirements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset and the amounts or classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

6. OPERATING LEASE

 

In March 2022, TP Holdings entered into one office spaces lease agreement in Hong Kong under non-cancellable operating lease, with lease terms of 24 months. In March 2024, the March 2022 lease arrangement extended for 12 months through March 2025. The Company considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of right of use assets and lease liabilities. Lease expense for lease payment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of the leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company discounts lease payments based on an estimate of the incremental borrowing rate.

 

For operating leases that include rent holidays and rent escalation clauses, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term from the date it takes possession of the leased property. The Company records the straight-line lease expense and any contingent rent, if applicable, in general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

 

The lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

 

For short-term leases, the Company records operating lease expense in its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term and record variable lease payments as incurred.

 

The table below presents the operating lease related assets and liabilities recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Each tranche of Earnout Shares may be released only once, but more than one tranche can be released in any year in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

 

The Earnout Shares are determined as contingent consideration in connection with the reverse recapitalization. In addition, the issuance of Earnout Shares does not meet any condition to be classified as a liability under ASC 815, thus it should be classified as an equity financial instrument, and measure at fair value using the quoted market price on grant date, June 11, 2024, which was $2.56 per share.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the sales/revenues condition described above was not met based on the consolidated statements of income. Currently the Company could not reasonably assess the performance condition for the year ending December 31, 2024 and thereafter. The Company will recognize share-based compensation expenses with corresponding account charged to additional paid-in capital upon the vesting of Earnout Shares.

 

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

As mentioned in Note 10, the Company issued 8,570 shares of common stock to a service provider in connection with consummation of the Business Combination closed on June 21, 2024.

 

On October 16, 2024, the Company borrowed $100,000 from Mr. Wellen Sham, and issued a promissory note with the equivalent amount. The borrowing was for the daily operation of the Company which bear interest rate of 10% and is payable on October 16, 2025.

 

 

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

 

Overview

 

Our mission is to power the future of sustainable transportation by creating stylish, innovative and cost-efficient premium electric vehicles centered around differentiated designs and solutions tailored for every lifestyle. We are a technology innovator and a developer of premium electric vehicles (“EVs”). We have developed several proprietary technologies which are the building blocks of the Thunder Power family of EVs.

 

We focus on the development and manufacturing of premium EVs with differentiated designs and solutions for every lifestyle. Four models are currently featured in our phased development and roll-out strategy: the limited-edition coupe, (the “Coupe” or “488”), long-range Sedan (the “Sedan”), compact city car (the “City Car” or “Chloe”) and the long-range SUV (the “SUV”, and together with the Coupe, Sedan, and City Car, the “Models”). We intend to target not just consumers who desire EVs, but consumers who desire practical and innovative EVs, as well as consumers who seek a luxury experience. We believe that by leveraging our modular integration concept starting with the modularized chassis system patented by us, we are creating a family of EVs (excluding the City Car) which share common parts and modules which we believe requires lower investment and reduced design and production time as opposed to those of traditional automotive manufacturers. We intend to first create the initial design for our Sedan, and then scale upwards to create the Coupe and scale downward to create the City Car. In time, we expect to round off our offering with the SUV.

 

We expect to offer to the market eco-friendly, premium EVs positioned to earn market share based on design, quality, comfort, range, and price. Among other advantages, we believe that our proprietary technologies will significantly increase the driving range for our EVs while allowing for faster recharging and lower costs of ownership.

 

Business Combination

 

On June 21, 2024, Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation (“FLFV”) consummated the business combination with Thunder Power Holdings Limited (“TP Holdings”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Business Combination”). Following the Business Combination, the combined company changed its name to “Thunder Power Holdings, Inc.” (the “Company”), which is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, FLFV acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of TP Holdings in exchange for (i) 40,000,000 shares of common stock, and (ii) earn out payments consisting of up to an additional 20,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Earnout Shares”) if the Company met certain revenue performance target in the following years through December 31, 2026 (see “Note 11 – Contingent Consideration”).

 

Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, there were (i) 46,859,633 shares of common stock of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share, issued and outstanding (without taking into account the Earnout Shares), (ii) 10,537,475 warrants to purchase 10,537,475 shares of common stock outstanding, and (iii) 20,000,000 shares of common stock placed in an Earnout Escrow Account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust (“CST”).

 

We have also capitalized offering cost of $1,491,495, which was recorded as reduction against additional paid-in capital.

 

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the combined Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “AIEV” on June 24, 2024.

 

 

The reverse recapitalization is equivalent to the issuance of securities by TP Holdings for the net monetary assets of FLFV, accompanied by a recapitalization. The Company debited equity for the fair value of the net liabilities of FLFV. In the subsequent financial statements after the Business Combination, the amounts of assets and liabilities for the period before the reverse recapitalization in financial statements, are presented as those of TP Holdings and recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts.

 

General Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

 

Without limitation, the demand for our EVs is affected by the following general factors. Changes in any of these general industry conditions could affect our business and results of operations:

 

●

The global growth of EV market, especially in the U.S., where we intend to build our first production facility, and for the strong demand for our brand, especially in the premium segment;

 

●

Penetration rate of our EVs in the U.S. and across the globe, which is further affected by the following factors relating to EVs, among others, (i) overall production costs and ownership costs, (ii) functionality, performance and user experience, (iii) development of technology and level of intelligent and smart features on EV, and (iv) coverage of the charging network;

 

●

Laws, regulations, and government policies for EVs and smart technology functions, including tax incentives, subsidies for EV production and purchases, government grants for EV manufacturers, as well as infrastructure support on expansion of the charging network;

 

●

Macro factors that influence supply chain, Original Equipment Manufacturing (“OEM”) arrangements, material costs, manufacturing costs, delivery expense and normal operations associated with EV manufacturers;

 

●

Proposed changes regarding key components, primarily the origin of batteries used on EVs; and

 

●

Global customers’ acceptance of new technologies and brands, especially our brand.

 

Specific Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

 

We believe that our performance and future success will depend on several Company specific factors, including those key factors discussed below and other factors in the section under the heading “Risk Factors” of the registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 7, 2023, as amended from time to time.

 

Our ability to evaluate our business and future prospects

 

We are an early-stage company with an early stage/limited operating history, operating in a rapidly evolving and highly regulated market. Furthermore, we have not released any commercially available vehicle, and we have no experience manufacturing or selling a commercial product at scale. Because we have not generated revenue from the sale of EVs, and because of the capital-intensive nature of our business, we expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future.

 

Our ability to develop different models of vehicles

 

We currently have four models featured in our phased development strategy and our revenue in the foreseeable future will be significantly dependent on a limited number of models. Although we have other vehicle models on our product roadmap, we currently do not expect to introduce another vehicle model until at least 2030. We expect to rely on sales from the Coupe, the Sedan, the City Car, and the SUV, among other sources of financing, for the capital that will be required to develop and commercialize future models. To the extent that production of the models is delayed, reduced or is not well-received by the market for any reason, our revenue and cash flow would be adversely affected, we may need to seek additional financing earlier than we expect, and such financing may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

 

 

Our ability to control the substantial costs associated with our operations

 

We will require significant capital to develop and grow our business. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant expenses as we build our brand and develop and market our vehicles; expenses relating to developing and manufacturing our vehicles, tooling and expanding our manufacturing facilities; research and development expenses (including expenses related to the development of the current and future products), raw material procurement costs; and general and administrative expenses as we scale our operations. As a company, we do not have historical experience forecasting and budgeting for any of these expenses, and these expenses could be significantly higher than we currently anticipate. In addition, any disruption to our manufacturing operations, obtaining necessary equipment or supplies, expansion of our manufacturing facilities, or the procurement of permits and licenses relating to our expected manufacturing, sales and distribution model could significantly increase our expenses.

 

Our ability to develop a third-party retail product distribution and a full-service network

 

We anticipate utilizing third-party retail product distribution and full-service networks to execute on such plans in all markets. If our use of third-party retail production and full-service networks is not effective, our results of operations and financial conditions could be adversely affected.

 

Key Components of Results of Operations

 

The following section presents the key components of our results of operations by the nature of corresponding operating activities for the periods indicated. You should read this financial information in conjunction with those presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report including our financial statements and notes to our financial statements.

 

Revenues

 

We have not generated revenue from the sale of EVs. We expect to generate revenue from the sale of our EV models, the sale and/or licensing of our technologies, and from research and development services.

 

Cost of revenues

 

Although we have no revenue, we have incurred costs associated with trying to generate revenue such as research and development, general and administrative expenses, liquidity and financing expenses and other operating activities as further described below.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel salary and welfare expenses and professional and consulting expenses. Over the next several years, we anticipate an increase in our general and administrative expenses with our launch of production lines of our EV cars. Additionally, we expect to incur higher costs related to professional and consulting expenses associated with being a publicly traded company.

 

Taxation

 

The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and is required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware on an annual basis. The Company is also registered as a foreign corporation with the State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury. The Company would be subject to income tax under New Jersey state tax laws if it has operations in New Jersey.

 

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into federal law. The IRA provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. The IRA applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.

 

 

Our operating subsidiary Thunder Power New Electric Vehicles (TPNEV) are under the current and applicable laws of BVI and is not subject to tax on income or capital gains. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no temporary differences and no deferred tax asset or liability recognized. We do not believe that there was any uncertain tax position as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

 

The following table sets forth a summary of our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. This information should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The operating results in any period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.

 

		For the Three Months Ended September 30,
		2024				2023
Revenues		$	—			$	—
Operating expenses
General and administrative expenses			(912,314	)			(645,635	)

General and administrative expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our general and administrative expenses were approximately $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The changes was primarily attributed to an increase of professional expenses of approximately $0.4 million with the closing of Business Combination and an increase of approximately $0.1 million in insurance expenses for the management of the Company after the business combination, partially net off against a decrease of share-based compensation expenses of approximately $0.2 million.

 

Net loss. As a result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of approximately $0.9 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

 

Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

 

The following table sets forth a summary of our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. This information should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The operating results in any period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.

 

		For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2024				2023
Revenues		$	—			$	—
Operating expenses
General and administrative expenses			(2,474,043	)			(1,594,212	)

Income tax expenses			—				—
Net loss		$	(2,474,256	)		$	(1,594,726	)

 

General and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our general and administrative expenses were approximately $2.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase of approximately $0.5 million in professional expenses which were incurred to support the closing of business combination, an increase of approximately $0.1 million in insurance expenses for the management of the Company after the Business Combination, and an increase of share-based compensation of approximately $0.7 million as we issued 90,000 shares of common stock to three independent directors of FLFV at the consummation of the Business Combination, partially offset by a decrease of share-based settlement expenses of approximately $0.5 million.

 

Net loss. As a result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of approximately $2.5 million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

To date, we have financed our operating activities primarily through cash raised in loans from related parties (see “Note 9 – Related Party Transactions and Balances”), and equity financing including private placements. As of September 30, 2024, our cash was $33,636.

 

We have been incurring losses from operations since inception. Accumulated loss amounted to approximately $36.9 million and $34.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities were approximately $0.9 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the working capital was approximately $(6.6) million and $0.7 million, respectively. The working capital excluded the non-cash items, which are prepaid expenses for the certain forward purchase agreement entered into on June 11, 2024, by and among FLFV, the Company and certain investors (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”), deferred offering costs and advance of subscription fees from shareholders. These conditions raised substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our liquidity is based on our ability to generate cash from operating activities, obtain capital financing from equity interest investors and borrow funds on favorable economic terms to fund our general operations and capital expansion needs. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to successfully execute our business plan, which includes increasing revenue while controlling operating cost and expenses to generate positive operating cash flows and obtaining funds from outside sources of financing to generate positive financing cash flows. Currently, we are working to improve our liquidity and capital sources mainly through borrowing from related parties by obtaining financial support from our principal shareholder who has committed to continue providing funds for our working capital needs whenever needed.

 

In addition, in order to fully implement our business plan and sustain continued growth, we are also actively seeking private equity financing from outside investors. However, there can be no assurance that these plans and arrangements will be sufficient to fund our ongoing capital expenditure, working capital, and other requirements.

 

 

Cash Flows

 

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods presented:

 

 

		For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2024				2023
Net cash used in operating activities		$	(905,358	)		$	(552,245	)
Net cash provided by investing activities			929,302				—
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities			(187,840	)			745,000

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was approximately $0.9 million, primarily attributable to net loss of approximately $2.5 million, adjusted for non-cash share-based compensation expenses of approximately $1.0 million and an increase of $0.4 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities incurred for professional consulting expenses since the closing of the Business Combination.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately $0.6 million, primarily attributable to net loss of approximately $1.6 million, adjusted for non-cash share-based compensation expenses of approximately $0.3 million, share-based settlement expenses of approximately $0.5 million, and an increase of approximately $0.2 million in amounts due to related parties which paid certain operating expenses on behalf of us.

 

Investing activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we reported cash provided by investing activities of approximately $0.9 million, which was from the reverse acquisition we closed with FLFV in June 2024.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we did not report cash provided by or used in investing activities.

 

Financing Activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we reported cash used in financing activities of approximately $0.2 million, which were primarily provided by subscription fees of $0.4 million from shareholders in the private placements raised by TP Holdings, borrowings of approximately $0.7 million from our controlling shareholder, and proceeds of approximately $0.2 million from investors pursuant to Forward Purchase Agreement, partially offset by payment of offering cost of approximately $0.9 million and payment of approximately $0.4 million of extension loans on behalf of Feutune Light Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”).

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we reported cash provided by financing activities of approximately $0.7 million, which was primarily provided by proceeds of $1.2 million from private placements, partially net off by return of subscription fee of approximately $0.1 million and payment of approximately $0.3 million as extension loans on behalf of the Sponsor of FLFV.

 

 

Commitment and Contingencies

 

On June 21, 2024, the Company entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with Mr. Wellen Sham, Yuanmei Ma and CST, pursuant to which, among other things, (1) CST will act as the escrow agent under the Escrow Agreement; (2) at the closing of the Business Combination, the Company deposited with CST 20,000,000 shares of common stock as Earnout Shares, to be held by CST in a segregated escrow account (“Earnout Escrow Account”); and (3) if any portion of the Earnout Shares becomes eligible for release in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, CST will release the applicable portion of the Earnout Shares from the Earnout Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and disburse to each eligible recipient the applicable portion of Earnout Shares therefrom. 

 

The Earnout Shares shall be released or otherwise forfeited as follows: (i) an aggregate of 5,000,000 Earnout Shares (the “Tranche 1 Earnout Shares”) will be vested, if and only if, on the occurrence that the amount of sales/revenues of the Company for any of the fiscal years (such fiscal year is referred to as “Tranche 1 Fiscal Year”) ending from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2025 is no less than $42,200,000 as evidenced by the audited financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the Tranche 1 Fiscal Year that is contained in an annual report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC (the “Tranche 1 Annual Report”); (ii) an aggregate of 15,000,000 Earnout Shares (the “Tranche 2 Earnout Shares”) will be vested, if and only if, on the occurrence that the amount of sales/revenues of the Company for any of the fiscal years (such fiscal year is referred to as “Tranche 2 Fiscal Year”) ending from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2026 is no less than $415,000,000 as evidenced by the audited financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the Tranche 2 Fiscal Year that is contained in an annual report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC (the “Tranche 2 Annual Report”); (iii) Within five (5) business days following the determination that all or any portion of the Tranche 1 Earnout Shares or Tranche 2 Earnout Shares become vested, the Company, together with Mr. Sham and Ms. Ma, shall instruct the Escrow Agent to irrevocably and unconditionally release the vested tranche of Earnout Shares from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement to certain of the Company’s shareholders. Each tranche of Earnout Shares may be released only once, but more than one tranche can be released in any year in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

 

The Earnout Shares are determined as contingent consideration in connection with the reverse recapitalization. In addition, the issuance of Earnout Shares does not meet any condition to be classified as a liability under ASC 815, thus it should be classified as an equity financial instrument, and measure at fair value using the quoted market price on grant date, June 11, 2024, which was $2.56 per share.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the sales/revenue condition described above was not met based on the consolidated statements of income. Currently the Company could not reasonably assess the performance condition for the year ending December 31, 2024 and thereafter.

 

Other than the above, in the normal course of business, we are subject to loss contingencies, such as certain legal proceedings, claims and disputes. We record a liability for such loss contingencies when the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to the shares of our common stock and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in product development services with us.

 

 

Research and Development

 

We have incurred minimal research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The researched and development expenses were recorded in “general and administrative expenses” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires our management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate these judgments, estimates and assumptions based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, our expectations regarding the future based on available information and various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.

 

The selection of critical accounting policies, the judgments and other uncertainties affecting application of those policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions are factors that should be considered when reviewing our financial statements. We believe the following accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements. You should read the description of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included in this Quarterly Report.

 

We do not have critical accounting estimates that are related to us. A list of accounting policies, judgements and estimates that are relevant to us is included in notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report (see “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”).

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has evaluated all recently issued accounting pronouncements and believes such pronouncements do not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. A list of recently issued accounting pronouncements that are relevant to us is included in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report (see “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”).

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are controls and other procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is collected and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial officer), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2024. Based upon the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, at the reasonable assurance level, as of September 30, 2024, we identified the material weakness that we are lack of sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements to properly address complex U.S. GAAP technical accounting issues and prepare and review financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reporting requirements set forth by the SEC. Our management is currently in the process of evaluating the steps necessary to remediate the ineffectiveness, such as (i) hiring a consulting firm with U.S. GAAP experience to strengthen our financial reporting function; (ii) establishing an ongoing program to provide sufficient and appropriate training for financial reporting and accounting personnel, especially training related to U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirement.

 

Limitations on Controls and Procedures

 

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of internal controls from our independent registered public accounting firm due to our status as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
