Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 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 December 31, 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. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting This Annual Report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm. Prior to June 21, 2024, we were known as Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“FLFV”), and Feutune Light Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of FLFV (“Merger Sub”). On October 26, 2023, we entered into a business combination agreement (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Thunder Power Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Thunder Power”), pursuant to which on June 21, 2024, Thunder Power merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FLFV (the “Merger”). 68 FLFV, our predecessor company prior to the consummation of the Merger, is a non-operating public, and the internal controls of the legal acquirer no longer exist as of the assessment date. We are not able to conduct an assessment of Thunder Power, a private operating company prior to the Merger, and we are not able to account FLFV’s internal control over financial reporting in the period bewteen the consummation date of the Merger and the assessment date. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Except as discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures Our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to completely eliminate all potential for misconduct. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in any cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Item 9B. Other Information Trading Plans During the three months ended December 31, 2023, no director or officer (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) of the company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

For a brief biography of Mr. Nicoll, please see above under “ Executive Officers .” Role of Board in Risk Oversight One of the key functions of the Board is the informed oversight of our risk management process. The Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through the standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in each committee’s respective area of oversight. In particular, the Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and the audit committee has the responsibility of considering and discussing financial risk exposure and the steps management should take to monitor and control such exposure, including implementing guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. Board Composition Our Board consists of five members. The Board consists of the following members: ● Christopher Nicoll, Dr. Chen ChiWen, Mingchih Chen, Ferdinand Kaiser, and Kevin Vassily and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2025; 72 Director Independence The Board is expected to annually undertake a review of the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment, and affiliations, including family relationships, the following members of the Board were determined by the Board not to have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of Mingchih Chen, Ferdinand Kaiser, and Kevin Vassily are considered to be “independent” as that term is defined under Nasdaq rules. In making these determinations, the Board has considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances that the Board deems relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of the Company’s capital stock by each non-employee director. Board Committees The standing committees of the Board consist of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which has the composition and the responsibilities described below. Additionally, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of the Board, as and when the Board deems it necessary or advisable to address specific matters. The Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers regularly report to the non-executive directors and each standing committee to ensure effective and efficient oversight of its activities and to assist in proper risk management and the ongoing evaluation of management controls. Audit Committee The members of our audit committee are Mingchih Chen, Ferdinand Kaiser, and Kevin Vassily. Mr. Vassily is the Chair of the audit committee and an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined under the SEC rules implementing Section 407 of SOX, and possesses financial sophistication, as defined under the rules of Nasdaq. The Company’s audit committee has the following functions, among others: ● perform such other functions as the board of directors may from time to time assign to the audit committee. ● evaluating the performance, independence and qualifications of Thunder Power’s independent auditors and determining whether to retain Thunder Power’s existing independent auditors or engage new independent auditors; ● monitoring the integrity of Thunder Power’s financial statements and Thunder Power’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements as they relate to financial statements or accounting matters; ● reviewing the integrity, adequacy and effectiveness of Thunder Power’s internal control policies and procedures; ● preparing the audit committee report required by the SEC to be included in Thunder Power’s annual proxy statement; ● discussing the scope and results of the audit with Thunder Power’s independent auditors, and reviewing with management and Thunder Power’s independent auditors Thunder Power’s interim and year-end operating results; 73 ● establishing and overseeing procedures for employees to submit concerns anonymously about questionable accounting or auditing matters; ● reviewing Thunder Power’s guidelines and policies on risk assessment and risk management; ● Reviewing and approving related-party transactions; ● obtaining and reviewing a report by Thunder Power’s independent auditors at least annually that describes Thunder Power’s independent auditors internal quality control procedures, any material issues raised by review under such procedures, and any steps taken to deal with such issues when required by applicable law; and ● approving (or, as permitted, pre-approving) all audit and non-audit services to be performed by Thunder Power’s independent auditors. The Company’s audit committee operates under a written charter, which satisfies the applicable rules of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq. The foregoing summary of the audit committee’s functions and responsibilities does not purport to be complete and is subject to the provisions of the audit committee’s charter, which is filed with the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, which should be read carefully and in its entirety. Compensation Committee The members of our compensation committee are Mingchih Chen, Ferdinand Kaiser, and Kevin Vassily. Ferdinand Kaiser serves as Chair of the compensation committee. The Company has adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the purpose and responsibility of the compensation committee, including: ● approving the retention of compensation consultants and outside service providers and advisors; ● reviewing and approving, or recommending that the Thunder Power Board approve the compensation of Thunder Power’s executive officers, including annual base salary, annual incentive bonuses, specific performance goals relevant to their compensation, equity compensation, and employment; ● reviewing and recommending to the Thunder Power Board the compensation of Thunder Power’s directors; ● administering and determining any award grants under Thunder Power’s 2024 Plan; ● reviewing and evaluating succession plans for the executive officers; ● preparing the compensation committee report required by the SEC to be included in Thunder Power’s annual proxy statement; and ● periodically reviewing Thunder Power’s practices and policies of employee compensation as they relate to risk management and risk-taking incentives. The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, independent legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC. The foregoing summary of the compensation committee’s functions and responsibilities does not purport to be complete and is subject to the provisions of the compensation committee’s charter, which is filed with the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, which should be read carefully and in its entirety. 74 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee The members of the Company’s nominating and corporate governance committee are Mingchih Chen, Ferdinand Kaiser, and Kevin Vassily. Ms. Chen serves as Chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The Company has adopted a nominating and corporate governance committee charter, which details the purpose and responsibility of the nominating and corporate governance committee, including: ● identifying, evaluating, and recommending individuals qualified to become members of the Board and its committees; ● evaluating the performance of the Board and of individual directors; ● developing and recommending corporate governance guidelines to the Board; and ● overseeing an annual evaluation of the Board and management.

Code of Business Conduct We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct that applies to the Company’s directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or, persons performing similar functions. The Code of Business Conduct is available on our website at www.aiev.ai/en . We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of our Code of Business Conduct in a Current Report on Form 8-K. Information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus and should not be considered to be part of this prospectus. Insider Trading Policy Our board of directors has adopted an Insider Trading Policy which prohibits trading based on “material, nonpublic information” regarding our company or any company whose securities are listed for trading or quotation in the United States. The policy covers all officers and directors of the company and its subsidiaries, all other employees of the company and its subsidiaries, and consultants or contractors to the company or its subsidiaries who have or may have access to material non-public information and members of the immediate family or household of any such person. The policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and Nasdaq listing standards. The policy is filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Clawback Policy Our board of directors has adopted a clawback policy, which provides that in the event we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the securities laws or otherwise erroneous data or we determine there has been a significant misconduct that causes financial or reputational harm, we shall recover a portion or all of any incentive compensation. The policy is filed as an exhibit to this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 75 Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation None of the members of our compensation committee is or has been an officer or employee of the Company. None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board of directors, or compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on the Board or compensation committee. Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers Our Charter contains certain provisions permitted under the DGCL related to the liability of directors and officers. These provisions eliminate the personal liability for monetary damages resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Our Bylaws also provide that we may indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and also provide that we must pay expenses, as incurred, to our directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to very limited exceptions. These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors. Non-Employee Director Compensation The Board reviews director compensation periodically to ensure that director compensation remains competitive such that the Company is able to recruit and retain qualified directors. The Company is in the process of developing a board of directors’ compensation program that is designed to align compensation with the Company’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling the Company to attract, retain, incentivize, and reward directors who contribute to the long-term success of the Company. Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. These executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such reporting persons. Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2024, all reports applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed in a timely manner in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. 76 Item 11.

Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plans Our directors and executive officers may adopt written plans, known as Rule 10b5-1 plans, in which they will contract with a broker to buy or sell shares of our Common Stock on a periodic basis. Under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, a broker executes trades pursuant to parameters established by the director or executive officer when entering into the plan, without further direction from them.

The sale of any shares under such a plan will be subject to the Lock-Up Agreements, to the extent that the selling director or executive officer is a party thereto.

As an emerging growth company, it is exempt from certain requirements related to executive compensation, including the requirements to hold a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and to provide information relating to the ratio of total compensation of its chief executive officer to the median of the annual total compensation of all of its employees, each as required by the Investor Protection and Securities Reform Act of 2010, which is part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. 78 Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters The following table sets forth, as of the date of this annual report, the beneficial ownership information of each current director, including each nominee for director, of the Company, as well as the Company’s executive officers, and the executive officers and directors as a group. There is no person known to the Company to beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 70,724,664 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the date of this annual report. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. Ownership information for those persons who beneficially own 5% or more of the shares of the Company’s common stock is based upon filings by such persons with the SEC and other information obtained from such persons, if available. The beneficial ownership percentages set forth in the table below are based on 70,724,664 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as as of the date of this annual report, which includes the Earn Out Shares held by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and do not take into account the issuance of any shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Public Warrants or Sponsor Warrants. In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares of Common Stock subject to warrants and convertible notes held by the person that are currently exercisable or convertible or may be exercised or converted within 60 days of January 24, 2025. The Company did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of any other person.

Under the policy, if a transaction has been identified as a related person transaction, including any transaction that was not a related person transaction when originally consummated or any transaction that was not initially identified as a related person transaction prior to consummation, the Company’s management must present information regarding the related person transaction to the Company’s audit committee, for review, consideration and approval or ratification. The audit committee will consider all relevant facts and circumstances of such a transaction, including, but not limited to: (i) the related party’s relationship to the Company and interests in the transaction, (ii) the proposed amount involved in the transaction, (iii) whether the transaction was or will be undertaken in the ordinary course of the Company’s and related party’s business, (iv) the way in which any transaction was or is to be initiated, (v) whether the potential related party transaction is on terms comparable to those available from an unrelated third party, (vi) the benefits to the Company of the proposed transaction, and (vii) any other material fact pertinent to the transaction.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Page Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm F-2 Balance Sheets F-3 Statements of Operations F-4 Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Deficit F-5 Statements of Cash Flows F-6 Notes to Financial Statements F-7 F- 1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To The Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Thunder Power Holdings Inc Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Thunder Power Holdings Inc and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the related statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its income and comprehensive income and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Explanatory Paragraph - Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has accumulated deficits of $36,932,246 and $34,429,895 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively and loss from operations of $2,502,351 and $1,815,644 in 2024 and 2023, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

History of Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation (“FLFV”) FLFV is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware company on January 19, 2022. FLFV was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On July 3, 2023, FLFV incorporated Feutune Light Merger Sub, Inc (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of FLFV. Merger Sub is a holding company with no operations. Reverse recapitalization On June 21, 2024, FLFV consummated its business combination with TP Holdings (the “Business Combination”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 26, 2023 (as amended on March 19, 2024 and April 5, 2024, the “Merger Agreement”). The combined company changed its name to “Thunder Power Holdings, Inc.” (the “Company”). Upon closing of the Business Combination, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of TP Holdings in exchange for (i) 40,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share, and (ii) earn out payments consisting of up to an additional 20,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Earnout Shares”) if the Company meets certain revenue performance targets in the following years through December 31, 2026 (see “ Note 12 – Contingent Consideration ”).

F- 7 THUNDER POWER HOLDINGS, INC. (f/k/a Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 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. Entry into share exchange agreement On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with certain shareholders (the “TW Company Shareholders”) of Electric Power Technology Limited, a Taiwan corporation (“TW Company”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the TW Company Shareholders will exchange 26,079,550 ordinary shares of TW Company for 31,034,666 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Exchange”). Upon completion of the Exchange, the Company will acquire approximately 30.8 % of TW Company’s total issued and outstanding shares. The closing of the Exchange is subject to customary conditions, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and the approval of the Company’s shareholders. The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties. The closing must occur no later than October 31, 2025. The Agreement may be terminated: (1) by mutual consent of the parties; (2) by either party upon material breach by the other party that remains uncured for 10 days after notice; (3) if the closing has not occurred within 90 days of signing (subject to extension for regulatory approvals); or (4) by either party if a court or regulatory authority permanently enjoins the transaction. F- 8 THUNDER POWER HOLDINGS, INC. (f/k/a Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying 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. Basis of consolidation The 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 expected credit losses, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets 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. 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 December 31, 2024 and 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. F- 9 THUNDER POWER HOLDINGS, INC. (f/k/a Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) Foreign currency translation Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates on the date of the balance sheet. The reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is U.S. dollars (“US$”). In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the US$, are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of shareholders’ equity. Translation of amounts from TWD into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods: December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 TWD exchange rate for balance sheet items, except for equity accounts 32.79 - For the Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 TWD exchange rate for items in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and statements of cash flows 32.31 - 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”). F- 10 THUNDER POWER HOLDINGS, INC. (f/k/a Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) 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 . 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. F- 11 THUNDER POWER HOLDINGS, INC.

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 December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding balance of prepaid expenses for forward purchase contract of $ 13,114,964 . 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 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. The Company impaired the property and equipment with net book value of nil for the year ended December 31, 2024. F- 12 THUNDER POWER HOLDINGS, INC.

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 year ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid a total of $ 500,000 to both underwriters. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had underwriter fee payable of $ 2,921,250 . General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, 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. 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 December 31, 2024 and 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 December 31, 2024 and 2023. F- 13 THUNDER POWER HOLDINGS, INC. (f/k/a Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) 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 December 31, 2024 and 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. 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. F- 14 THUNDER POWER HOLDINGS, INC. (f/k/a Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) Recently issued accounting standards In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This pronouncement introduces new disclosure requirements aimed at enhancing transparency in financial reporting by requiring disaggregation of specific income statement expense captions. Under the new guidance, entities are required to disclose a breakdown of certain expense categories, such as: employee compensation; depreciation; amortization, and other material components. The disaggregated information can be presented either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements, often using a tabular format. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating these new disclosure requirements and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which revises the effective date of ASU 2024-03 (on disclosures about disaggregation of income statement expenses) “to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.” Entities within the ASU’s scope are permitted to early adopt the ASU. 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 November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company assesses that the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows. 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 consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows. F- 15 THUNDER POWER HOLDINGS, INC. (f/k/a Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) 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. The maximum exposure of such assets to credit risk is their carrying amount as at the balance sheet dates. As of December 31, 2024, the Company held cash of $ 52,616 , among which $ 10,679 was deposits in bank accounts in Taiwan, $ 131,687 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 $ 91,500 ). 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 $ 64,400 ). 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. The Company had limited operations and did not generate any revenue for the financial year ended December 31, 2024, and 2023 respectively. This resulted in an accumulated deficit of $ 36,932,246 and $ 34,429,895 , loss from operations of $ 2,502,351 and $ 1,815,644 and net cash outflows from operating activities of $ 1,227,253 and $ 658,729 in 2024 and 2023 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 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 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.

The balance of payments on behalf of the Sponsor represented the payments of extension loans in an amount of $ 300,000 made by TP Holdings on behalf of the Sponsor. The balance was deducted against additional paid-in capital upon the closing of the Business Combination in 2024. (b) Before entering into a Merger Agreement with FLFV, TP Holdings entered into a letter of intent with Aetherium Acquisition Corp. (“GMFI”) to explore a potential business combination. TP Holdings paid extension loans in an amount of $ 300,000 and working capital loans in an amount of $ 15,000 on behalf of GMFI. In March 2024, the letter of intent with GMFI was terminated. 5.

OPERATING LEASE In March 2022, TP Holdings entered into one office spaces lease agreement (“March 2022 lease arrangement”) 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. F- 17 THUNDER POWER HOLDINGS, INC. (f/k/a Feutune Light Acquisition Corporation) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 6. OPERATING LEASE (cont.) 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 evaluates its valuation allowance requirements at end of each reporting period by reviewing all available evidence, both positive and negative, and considering whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. When circumstances cause a change in management’s judgement about the realizability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in income from operations. The future realization of the tax benefit of an existing deductible temporary difference ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryforward period available under applicable tax law. The Company reviews deferred tax assets for a valuation allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized. As of December 31, 2024, full valuation allowance of was provided against deferred tax assets arising from net operation losses carryforwards as the Company assessed that it was more likely than not that that the net operating losses would not be fully utilized before expiration. Uncertain tax positions The Company evaluates each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measure the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any unrecognized uncertain tax positions and the Company does not believe that its unrecognized tax benefits will change over the next twelve months. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses. F- 22 THUNDER POWER HOLDINGS, INC.
