+Added: Management’s Discussion and Analysis
+Added: of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
+Added: You should read the following discussion and
+Added: analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related
+Added: notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
+Added: As discussed in the section titled “Note
+Added: Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks
+Added: and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially
+Added: from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
+Added: Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include,
+Added: but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors”.
+Added: Our mission is to power
+Added: the future of sustainable transportation by creating stylish, innovative and cost-efficient premium electric vehicles centered around
+Added: differentiated designs and solutions tailored for every lifestyle.
+Added: We are a technology innovator and a developer of premium electric
+Added: vehicles (“EVs”).
+Added: We have developed several proprietary technologies which are the building blocks of the Thunder Power family
+Added: We focus on the development
+Added: and manufacturing of premium EVs with differentiated designs and solutions for every lifestyle.
+Added: Four models are currently featured in
+Added: our phased development and roll-out strategy:
+Added: the limited-edition coupe, (the “Coupe” or “488”), long-range Sedan
+Added: (the “Sedan”), compact city car (the “City Car” or “Chloe”) and the long-range SUV (the “SUV”,
+Added: and together with the Coupe, Sedan, and City Car, the “Models”).
+Added: We intend to target not just consumers who desire EVs, but
+Added: consumers who desire practical and innovative EVs, as well as consumers who seek a luxury experience.
+Added: We believe that by leveraging our
+Added: modular integration concept starting with the modularized chassis system patented by us, we are creating a family of EVs (excluding the
+Added: City Car) which share common parts and modules which we believe requires lower investment and reduced design and production time as opposed
+Added: to those of traditional automotive manufacturers.
+Added: We intend to first create the initial design for our Sedan, and then scale upwards
+Added: to create the Coupe and scale downward to create the City Car.
+Added: In time, we expect to round off our offering with the SUV.
+Added: We expect to offer to the
+Added: market eco-friendly, premium EVs positioned to earn market share based on design, quality, comfort, range, and price.
+Added: Among other advantages,
+Added: we believe that our proprietary technologies will significantly increase the driving range for our EVs while allowing for faster recharging
+Added: and lower costs of ownership.
+Added: Business Combination
+Added: On June 21, 2024, Feutune
+Added: Light Acquisition Corporation (“FLFV”) consummated the business combination with Thunder Power Holdings Limited (“TP
+Added: Holdings”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement (the “Business Combination”).
+Added: Following the Business Combination, the
+Added: combined company changed its name to “Thunder Power Holdings, Inc.” (the “Company”), which is organized under
+Added: the laws of the State of Delaware.
+Added: Upon consummation of the
+Added: Business Combination, FLFV acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of TP Holdings in exchange for (i) 40,000,000 shares
+Added: of common stock, and (ii) earn out payments consisting of up to an additional 20,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Earnout
+Added: Shares”) if the Company met certain revenue performance target in the following years through December 31, 2026 (see “ Note
+Added: 11 – Contingent Consideration ”).
+Added: Following the consummation
+Added: of the Business Combination, the combined Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Nasdaq”)
+Added: under the symbol “AIEV” on June 24, 2024.
+Added: The reverse recapitalization
+Added: is equivalent to the issuance of securities by TP Holdings for the net monetary assets of FLFV, accompanied by a recapitalization.
+Added: Company debited equity for the fair value of the net liabilities of FLFV.
+Added: In the subsequent financial statements after the Business Combination,
+Added: the amounts of assets and liabilities for the period before the reverse recapitalization in financial statements, are presented as those
+Added: of TP Holdings and recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts.
+Added: Recent development
+Added: On December 19, 2024, the

+Added: The Agreement contains customary
+Added: representations, warranties and covenants by the parties.

+Added: (1) by mutual consent of the parties;
+Added: (2) by either party upon material breach by the other party that remains uncured for
+Added: 10 days after notice;
+Added: (3) if the closing has not occurred within 90 days of signing (subject to extension for regulatory approvals);
+Added: or (4) by either party if a court or regulatory authority permanently enjoins the transaction.
+Added: Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
+Added: We believe that our performance
+Added: and future success will depend on several Company specific factors, including those key factors discussed below and other factors in
+Added: the section under the heading “ Risk Factors ” of the registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and
+Added: Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 7, 2023, as amended from time to time.
+Added: Our ability to evaluate our business and future prospects
+Added: We are an early-stage company
+Added: with an early stage/limited operating history, operating in a rapidly evolving and highly regulated market.
+Added: Furthermore, we have not
+Added: released any commercially available vehicle, and we have no experience manufacturing or selling a commercial product at scale.
+Added: we have not generated revenue from the sale of EVs, and because of the capital-intensive nature of our business, we expect to continue
+Added: to incur substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future.
+Added: Our ability to develop different models of vehicles
+Added: We currently have four models
+Added: featured in our phased development strategy and our revenue in the foreseeable future will be significantly dependent on a limited number
+Added: Although we have other vehicle models on our product roadmap, we currently do not expect to introduce another vehicle model
+Added: until at least 2030.
+Added: We expect to rely on sales from the Coupe, the Sedan, the City Car, and the SUV, among other sources of financing,
+Added: for the capital that will be required to develop and commercialize future models.
+Added: To the extent that production of the models is delayed,
+Added: 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
+Added: additional financing earlier than we expect, and such financing may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
+Added: Our ability to control the substantial costs associated
+Added: with our operations
+Added: We will require significant
+Added: capital to develop and grow our business.
+Added: We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant expenses as we build our brand
+Added: and develop and market our vehicles;
+Added: expenses relating to developing and manufacturing our vehicles, tooling and expanding our manufacturing
+Added: research and development expenses (including expenses related to the development of the current and future products), raw
+Added: material procurement costs;
+Added: and general and administrative expenses as we scale our operations.
+Added: As a company, we do not have historical
+Added: experience forecasting and budgeting for any of these expenses, and these expenses could be significantly higher than we currently anticipate.
+Added: In addition, any disruption to our manufacturing operations, obtaining necessary equipment or supplies, expansion of our manufacturing
+Added: facilities, or the procurement of permits and licenses relating to our expected manufacturing, sales and distribution model could significantly
+Added: increase our expenses.
+Added: Our ability to develop a third-party retail product
+Added: distribution and a full-service network
+Added: We anticipate utilizing
+Added: third-party retail product distribution and full-service networks to execute on such plans in all markets.
+Added: If our use of third-party
+Added: retail production and full-service networks is not effective, our results of operations and financial conditions could be adversely affected.
+Added: Key Components of Results of Operations
+Added: The following section presents
+Added: the key components of our results of operations by the nature of corresponding operating activities for the periods indicated.
+Added: read this financial information in conjunction with those presented elsewhere in this Annual Report including our financial statements
+Added: and notes to our financial statements.
+Added: We have not generated revenue
+Added: from the sale of EVs.
+Added: We expect to generate revenue from the sale of our EV models, the sale and/or licensing of our technologies, and
+Added: from research and development services.
+Added: Cost of revenues
+Added: Although we have no revenue,
+Added: we have incurred costs associated with trying to generate revenue such as research and development, general and administrative expenses,
+Added: liquidity and financing expenses and other operating activities as further described below.
+Added: General and administrative expenses
+Added: General and administrative
+Added: expenses primarily consist of personnel salary and welfare expenses and professional and consulting expenses.
+Added: Over the next several years,
+Added: we anticipate an increase in our general and administrative expenses with our launch of production lines of our EV cars.
+Added: Additionally,
+Added: we expect to incur higher costs related to professional and consulting expenses associated with being a publicly traded company.
+Added: The Company is incorporated
+Added: in the State of Delaware and is required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware on an annual basis.
+Added: The Company is also registered
+Added: as a foreign corporation with the State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury.
+Added: The Company would be subject to income tax under New
+Added: Jersey state tax laws if it has operations in New Jersey.
+Added: On August 16, 2022,
+Added: the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was signed into federal law.
+Added: The IRA provides for, among other things, a
+Added: federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.)
+Added: corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations.
+Added: The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing
+Added: corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased.
+Added: The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the
+Added: fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase.
+Added: However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing
+Added: corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases
+Added: during the same taxable year.
+Added: In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax.
+Added: Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”)
+Added: has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
+Added: The IRA applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.
+Added: Our operating subsidiary
+Added: 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
+Added: As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no temporary differences and no deferred tax asset or liability recognized.
+Added: not believe that there was any uncertain tax position as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
+Added: Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2024
+Added: The following table sets
+Added: forth a summary of our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
+Added: This information should be read together
+Added: with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
+Added: The operating results in any period
+Added: are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.
+Added: For the Year Ended

+Added: Loss before income taxes
+Added: Income tax expenses
+Added: $ (2,502,351 )
+Added: $ (1,815,644 )
+Added: General and administrative
+Added: For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our general and administrative expenses were approximately $2.5 million
+Added: and $1.8 million, respectively.
+Added: The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase of approximately
+Added: $0.3 million in professional expenses which were incurred to support the closing of business combination, and an increase of share-based
+Added: compensation of approximately $0.7 million as we issued 90,000 shares of common stock to three independent directors of FLFV at the consummation
+Added: of the Business Combination, partially offset by a decrease of share-based settlement expenses of approximately $0.5 million.
+Added: a result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of approximately $2.5 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December
+Added: 31, 2024 and 2023.
+Added: Liquidity and Capital Resources
+Added: To date, we have financed
+Added: our operating activities primarily through cash raised in loans from related parties (see “ Note 9 – Related Party Transactions
+Added: and Balances ”), and equity financing including private placements.
+Added: As of September 30, 2024, our cash was $142,616.
+Added: We have been incurring losses
+Added: from operations since inception.
+Added: Accumulated loss amounted to approximately $36.9 million and $34.4 million as of December 31, 2024 and
+Added: 2023, respectively.
+Added: Net cash used in operating activities were approximately $1.2 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December
+Added: 31, 2024 and 2023.
+Added: As of December 31, 2024, we had a negative working capital of $6.6 million, compared to a working capital of approximately
+Added: $0.7 million as of December 31, 2023.
+Added: The working capital excluded the non-cash items, which are prepaid expenses for the certain forward
+Added: purchase agreement entered into on June 11, 2024, by and among FLFV, the Company and certain investors (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”),
+Added: deferred offering costs and advance of subscription fees from shareholders.
+Added: These conditions raised substantial doubts about the Company’s
+Added: ability to continue as a going concern.
+Added: Our liquidity is based on
+Added: our ability to generate cash from operating activities, obtain capital financing from equity interest investors and borrow funds on favorable
+Added: economic terms to fund our general operations and capital expansion needs.
+Added: Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on
+Added: management’s ability to successfully execute our business plan, which includes increasing revenue while controlling operating cost
+Added: and expenses to generate positive operating cash flows and obtaining funds from outside sources of financing to generate positive financing
+Added: Currently, we are working to improve our liquidity and capital sources mainly through borrowing from related parties by obtaining
+Added: financial support from our principal shareholder who has committed to continue providing funds for our working capital needs whenever
+Added: In addition, in order to
+Added: fully implement our business plan and sustain continued growth, we are also actively seeking private equity financing from outside investors.
+Added: However, there can be no assurance that these plans and arrangements will be sufficient to fund our ongoing capital expenditure, working
+Added: capital, and other requirements.
+Added: The following table sets
+Added: forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods presented:
+Added: For the Year Ended

−Removed: The Company’s liquidity
−Removed: needs up to December 31, 2023 had been satisfied through initial payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the insider shares and proceeds
−Removed: from the Private Placement.
−Removed: On June 21, 2022, we consummated
−Removed: the IPO of 9,775,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per unit (including 1,275,000 units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment
−Removed: option), generating gross proceeds of $97,750,000.
−Removed: Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and full exercise of the over-allotment
−Removed: option by the underwriters, we consummated the sale of 498,875 units as Private Placement Units to the Sponsor (for 478,875 units) and
−Removed: US Tiger (for 20,000 units), one of the representative of the underwriters, with each unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock,
−Removed: one warrant and one right, at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $4,988,750.
−Removed: Following the closings of the IPO and
−Removed: the sales of the Private Placement Units on June 21, 2022, a total of $99,216,250 (or $10.15 per share) was placed in the Trust Account.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2023, the
−Removed: Company had cash of $18,330 and a working capital deficit of $2,268,086.
−Removed: We intend to use substantially
−Removed: all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, excluding deferred
−Removed: underwriting commissions, to complete our business combination.
−Removed: We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any.
−Removed: To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a business combination, the remaining
−Removed: proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make
−Removed: other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
−Removed: We intend to use the funds
−Removed: held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target
−Removed: businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners,
−Removed: review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a business combination.
−Removed: In order to fund working capital
−Removed: deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain
−Removed: of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required.
−Removed: If the Company completes the initial business
−Removed: combination, it will repay such loaned amounts.
−Removed: In the event that the initial business combination does not close, we may use a portion
−Removed: of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used
−Removed: for such repayment.
−Removed: Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender.
−Removed: If our estimate of the costs
−Removed: of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a business combination is less than the
−Removed: actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination.
−Removed: Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our business combination or because we become obligated to redeem
−Removed: a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities
−Removed: or incur debt in connection with such business combination, all of which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
−Removed: In addition, the Current Charter
−Removed: allows the Company until June 21, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination and to elect to extend the period to consummate an
−Removed: initial business combination up to nine times, each by an additional one-month period, for a total of up to nine months to March 21, 2024.
−Removed: If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by March 21, 2024 upon maximum extension, we may seek approval from our
−Removed: stockholders holding no less than 65% or more of the votes to approve to extend the completion period if we fail to obtain approval from
−Removed: our stockholders for such extension or we do not seek such extension, the Company will cease all operations.
−Removed: a result, management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
−Removed: Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arraignments
−Removed: We have no obligations, assets
−Removed: or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2023.
−Removed: We do not participate in transactions
−Removed: that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which
−Removed: would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
−Removed: We have not entered into any off-balance sheet
−Removed: financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any
−Removed: non-financial assets.
−Removed: Contractual Obligations
−Removed: As of December 31, 2023 and
−Removed: December 31, 2022, we do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.
−Removed: We are obligated to pay the
−Removed: Representatives the deferred underwriting compensation equal to 3.5% of the IPO Proceeds which amounted to $3,421,250.
−Removed: The deferred underwriting
−Removed: compensation will become payable to the Representatives from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete
−Removed: the business combination.
−Removed: holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Units, and any units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans
−Removed: (and any underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection
−Removed: with the IPO.
−Removed: The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register
−Removed: such securities.
−Removed: In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements
−Removed: filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination.
−Removed: We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing
−Removed: of any such registration statements.
−Removed: Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
−Removed: We account for warrants as
−Removed: either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable
−Removed: authoritative guidance in ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives
−Removed: and Hedging (“ASC 815”).
−Removed: The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to
−Removed: ASC 480, whether they meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for
−Removed: equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our own Class A Common Stock and whether the warrant
−Removed: holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of our control, among other conditions for
−Removed: equity classification.
−Removed: This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance
−Removed: and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
−Removed: For issued or modified warrants
−Removed: that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time
−Removed: For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to
−Removed: be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter.
−Removed: Changes in the
−Removed: estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
−Removed: We determined that upon
−Removed: further review of the proposed form of warrant agreement, management concluded that the warrants included in the units issued in the IPO
−Removed: pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.
−Removed: Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
−Removed: We account for our Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption
−Removed: in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A Common Stock subject to
−Removed: mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value.
−Removed: Conditionally redeemable Class
−Removed: A Common Stock (including Class A Common Stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject
−Removed: to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity.
−Removed: times, Class A Common Stock are classified as stockholders’ equity.
−Removed: Our Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are
−Removed: considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events.
−Removed: Accordingly, as of December 31, 2023, shares
−Removed: of Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $10.84 per share as temporary equity, outside
−Removed: of the stockholders’ equity section of our balance sheet.
−Removed: We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and
−Removed: adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A Common Stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period.
−Removed: or decreases in the carrying amount of shares of redeemable Class A Common Stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital
−Removed: or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero.
−Removed: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
−Removed: The fair value of our assets
−Removed: and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.
−Removed: The fair value of our financial
−Removed: assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that we would have received in connection with the sale of the
−Removed: assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
−Removed: In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, we seek to maximize the use of observable inputs (market
−Removed: data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants
−Removed: would price assets and liabilities).
−Removed: The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable
−Removed: inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
−Removed: Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active market.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
−Removed: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
−Removed: Management does not believe
−Removed: that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on
−Removed: the Company’s financial statements.
−Removed: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
−Removed: As a smaller reporting company,
−Removed: we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.
−Removed: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
−Removed: Our financial statements and
−Removed: the notes thereto begin on page F-1 of this Annual Report.

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