Item
7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited
financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included in “ Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data ”
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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,
including those set forth under “ Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements ,” “ Item 1A. Risk Factors ”
and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
We
are a blank check company newly incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability for the purpose of entering
into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with
one or more businesses or entities, which we refer to throughout this Annual Report as our initial business combination. Our efforts
to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region.
Proposed
United Hydrogen Business Combination
On
June 19, 2024, Aimei Health entered into the Business Combination Agreement for a business combination with (i) United Hydrogen, (ii)
Pubco, (iii) the First Merger Sub; (iv) the Second Merger Sub ; and (v) the Sponsor. The
Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the consummation of the Closing,
including: (i) by mutual written consent of Aimei Health and United Hydrogen; (ii) by either Aimei Health or United Hydrogen if any law
or governmental order (other than a temporary restraining order) is in effect that permanently restrains, enjoins, makes illegal or otherwise
prohibits the mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (iii) by either Aimei Health or
United Hydrogen if any of the conditions to Closing have not been satisfied or waived by March 31, 2025; (iv) by either Aimei Health
or United Hydrogen upon a material breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in the Business
Combination Agreement by the other party if such breach gives rise to a failure of certain closing conditions to be satisfied and cannot
or has not been cured within the earlier of 20 days’ following the receipt of notice from the non-breaching party and the Termination
Date; (v) by either Aimei Health or United Hydrogen if the Aimei Health shareholder approval is not obtained at its shareholder meeting;
(vi) by Aimei Health if the United Hydrogen shareholder approval is not obtained within ten (10) business days after the Registration
Statement becomes effective; or (vii) by Aimei Health, if the Reorganization (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) is not
completed by December 31, 2024. The Business Combination Agreement and related agreements are further described in our Current Report
on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 20, 2024.
Results
of Operations
We
have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Our only activities from inception to December 31, 2024 were
organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for and conduct the IPO, and those required to identify and evaluate a target company
for a business combination. We will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of our initial business combination,
at the earliest. We have generated and will continue to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash in bank
and investments held in the Trust Account established for the benefit of our public shareholders, from the proceeds derived from the
IPO. We incur expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as
well as for due diligence expenses.
For
the year ended December 31, 2024, we had a net income of $2,552,215, which consisted of interest income earned on investments held in
the Trust Account of $3,617,001, offset by formation and operational costs of $1,064,786.
For
the period from April 27, 2023 (inception) to December 31, 2023, we had a net income of $171,389, which consisted of interest income
earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $199,848, offset by formation and operational costs of $28,459.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of December 31, 2024, we had $28,208 in our operating bank account, $73,784,549 in our Trust Account, and working capital deficit of
approximately $786,610.
Our
liquidity needs prior to the consummation of the IPO were satisfied through the payment of $25,000 from the Sponsor to cover certain
offering costs on our behalf in exchange for issuance of Founder Shares, and the borrowing of approximately $210,151 from the Sponsor
under an unsecured promissory note (see “Note 5—Related Party Transactions” in the notes to our financial statements).
We have repaid the unsecured promissory note in full on December 7, 2023. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO, our liquidity has
been satisfied through the net proceeds from the consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement (as defined below) held outside of
the Trust Account. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate
of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors, may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as
defined in “Note 5—Related Party Transactions” in the notes to our financial statements). As of December 31, 2024,
there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.
Based
on the foregoing, management believes that we will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet our anticipated cash
needs prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business
combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our business combination,
in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. However, we cannot provide
any assurance that new financing will be available. Over the time period prior to our initial business combination, we will be using
the funds held outside of the Trust Account for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial business
combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target
business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.
Going
Concern Consideration
In
connection with our 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 has determined
that if we are unsuccessful in consummating an initial business combination within the prescribed period of time from the closing of
our IPO, the requirement that we cease all operations, redeem the public shares, and thereafter liquidate and dissolve, raises substantial
doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate the continuation of our Company as a going concern.
Off-Balance
Sheet Financing Arrangements
We
have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2024. We do not
participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable
interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered
into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other
entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.
Contractual
Obligations
We
do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities. The underwriter is entitled
to a deferred fee of one percent (1.0%) of the gross proceeds of the IPO upon closing of the Business Combination, or $690,000. The deferred
fee will be paid in cash upon the closing of a Business Combination from the amounts held in the Trust Account, subject to the terms
of the underwriting agreement.
24
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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. As of December
31, 2024, there were no critical accounting policies or estimates.
Recent
Accounting Standards
In
November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable
Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses
that are regularly provided to the chief operating officer decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other
segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and
position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance
and deciding how to allocate resources. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic
280 in interim periods, and entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide all the disclosures required by the amendments
in this ASU and existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023,
and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted.
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material
effect on our audited financial statements.
