Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
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, 2025. 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 December 31, 2025, 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”).
58
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 between 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, 2025, 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, 2025, 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.
Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent
Inspections
Not applicable.

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 currently consists
of the following members: Christopher Nicoll, Dr. Chen ChiWen, Mingchih Chen, Ferdinand Kaiser, and Kevin Vassily, each of whom was duly
elected at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and is serving their term accordingly.
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”
for purposes of the Company’s corporate governance policies.
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 their 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 will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by 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.
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

and corporate governance committee’s functions and responsibilities does not purport to be complete and is subject to the provisions
of the nominating and corporate governance 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.
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. 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.
64
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, 2025, 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.

●
base salaries;

Employment Agreements
Thunder Power AI Subsidiary,

Ho Agreement
Based on the employment agreement

to certain discretionary bonus in form of either cash or options, or both, if the Company’s financial target is achieved.

monthly salary of US$5,000 for the first 3 months of the employment and US$10,000 since then, payable in arrears on the sixth of each

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 director
or executive officer may amend a Rule 10b5-1 plan in some circumstances and may terminate a plan at any time. Our
directors and executive officers also may buy or sell additional shares outside of a Rule 10b5-1 plan when they are
not in possession of material non-public information, subject to compliance with the terms of our insider trading policy. 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.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in the Jobs Act. 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.

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 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 Stoc k 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. Unless otherwise noted in the footnotes to the following table, and subject to applicable community property laws,
the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to their beneficially owned Common Stock.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
In October 2014, TP Holdings
adopted a Thunder Power Holdings Limited Share Option Plan (the “2014 Plan”), As of September 30, 2024, the 2014 Plan existed
to the extent that there are options/awards outstanding thereunder.
On June 17, 2024, the stockholders
of the Company voted to approve the 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which became effective
at the closing of the Business Combination. All outstanding options to purchase share of TP Holdings granted under the 2014 Plan have
rolled over into the 2024 Plan and became options to purchase share of Common Stock of the Company. Such options granted under the 2014
Plan will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the agreements evidencing such stock options and the terms
of the 2024 Plan (including the terms of the Prior Plan attached as an exhibit to the 2024 Plan).
The total number of shares
of the Company’s Common Stock reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to awards under the 2024 Plan equals 10%
of the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock immediately following the Business Combination, the full
amount of which may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options. In addition, annually on the first trading day of the calendar year,
beginning with the 2025 calendar year, the share reserve (but not the incentive stock option limit) will automatically increase by 5%
of the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar
year, unless the administrator of the 2024 Plan acts prior to January 1 of such calendar year to provide that there will be no increase
or a lesser increase in the share reserve for that year. Under the 2024 Plan, non-employee directors, employees and consultants, and any
individual to whom the Company and the affiliates have extended a formal offer of employment, are eligible to receive awards under the
2024 Plan. There is no limit on the number or class of directors, employees or consultants that are eligible to receive awards.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director
Independence
Related Person Transactions Policy
The Board has adopted a related
person transaction policy that sets forth the Company’s procedures for the identification, review, consideration and approval or
ratification of related person transactions. The policy became effective upon approval by the Board following the consummation of the
Business Combination. The Company’s audit committee has the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving or disapproving “related
party transactions.” The charter of the Company’s audit committee provides that the audit committee will review and approve
in advance any related party transaction.
A “related person transaction” is
a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which:
●
the Company has been or is to be a participant,
●
the amount involved exceeds or will exceed $120,000; and
●
any of the Company’s directors or executive officers or holders of more than 5% of the Company’s capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
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.

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, 2025 and
2024 and the related statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flow for the years
ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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, 2025 and
2024, and the results of its income and comprehensive income and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has accumulated deficits of $39,051,663 and $36,932,246 as of December 31,
2025, and 2024, respectively.
In addition, the Company has limited cash resources
and faces significant liquidity constraints. The Company’s common stock was suspended from trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market in
April 2025 and subsequently delisted in July 2025, and is currently quoted on the over-the-counter market, which significantly limits
its access to capital markets. Further, certain assets, including prepaid forward purchase arrangements, are not expected to generate
near-term cash inflows and their realization is subject to significant uncertainty. The Company’s ability to obtain financial support
from its principal shareholder is also uncertain due to ongoing legal proceedings.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date that the financial statements
are issued. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
History of Thunder Power Holdings Limited
(“TP Holdings”)
TP Holdings is a company
incorporated under the laws and regulations of the British Virgin Islands with limited liability on December 31, 2015 . TP Holdings is
a parent holding company with no operations. Upon the closing business combination closed on June 21, 2024, TP
Holdings changed its name to Thunder Power AI Subsidiary, Inc.
TP Holdings has one wholly-owned
subsidiary, Thunder Power New Energy Vehicle Development Company Limited (“TP NEV”) which was established in accordance with
laws and regulations of British Virgin Islands on October 19, 2016.
TP Holdings also setup two branches, namely Thunder Power AI Subsidiary,
Inc. (Hong Kong) (“TPAI-HK”) and Thunder Power Holdings Ltd (“TPAI-TW”) in Hong Kong and Taiwan, respectively.
Both branches are not legal entities, but rather they have tax identity in their respective jurisdictions.
TP Holdings together with
TP NEV, are engaged in design, development and manufacturing of high-performance electric vehicles. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024,
its operations activities were carried out in Taiwan and its management team are currently located in Taiwan and USA.
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 ”).
Immediately after giving
effect to the Business Combination, there were (i) 46,859,633 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $ 0.0001 per
share, issued and outstanding (without taking into account the Earnout Shares), (ii) 10,537,475 warrants to purchase 10,537,475
shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and (iii) 20,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance as Earnout Shares and
placed in an escrow account managed by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“CST”).
We also capitalized offering
cost of $ 1,491,495 , which was recorded as reduction against additional paid-in capital.
Following the consummation
of the Business Combination, the combined Company’s common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (the “Nasdaq”)
under the symbol “AIEV” on June 24, 2024.
The reverse recapitalization
is equivalent to the issuance of securities by TP Holdings for the net monetary assets of FLFV, accompanied by a recapitalization. The
Company debited equity for the fair value of the net liabilities of FLFV. In the subsequent financial statements after the Business Combination,
the amounts of assets and liabilities for the period before the reverse recapitalization in financial statements are presented as those
of TP Holdings and recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts. 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.

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 subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The Company’s consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable for making judgments that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The most significant estimates with regard to these consolidated financial
statements are allowance for expected credit losses of other receivable, allowance for prepaid expenses for Forward Purchase Contract,
classification of prepaid expenses for Forward Purchase Contract, and accrued legal expenses.
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, 2025
and 2024, financial instruments of the Company primarily comprised of current assets and current liabilities including cash, short-term
investments, other current assets, amount due to related parties, other payables 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.

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$”).
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of the
Company and its subsidiary whose functional currency is not the US$, are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet
date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation
of financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income
within the statement of shareholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from
TWD into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

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.

Prepaid expenses for forward purchase contract (cont.)
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”).
The Seller in its sole discretion
may sell Recycled Shares at any time following June 11, 2024 and at any sales price, without payment by the Seller of any early termination
obligation until such time as the proceeds from such sales equal 110 % of the Prepayment Shortfall (such sales, “Shortfall Sales,”
and such shares, “Shortfall Sale Shares”). A sale of shares is only (a) a “Shortfall Sale,” subject to the terms
and conditions applicable to Shortfall Sale Shares, when a Shortfall Sale Notice is delivered under the Forward Purchase Agreement, and
(b) an Optional Early Termination, subject to the terms and conditions of the Forward Purchase Agreement applicable to Terminated Shares
(as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement), when an OET Notice (as defined in the Forward Purchase Agreement) is delivered under
the Forward Purchase Agreement, in each case the delivery of such notice in the sole discretion of the Seller (as further described under
“Optional Early Termination” and “Shortfall Sales” in the Forward Purchase Agreement).
The Seller will purchase
“Additional Shares” from the Counterparty at any date prior to the Valuation Date at the Initial Price, with such number
of Shares to be specified in a Pricing Date Notice as Additional Shares subject to 9.9 % ownership limitations which may be waived by
Seller at its sole discretion; provided that such number of Additional Shares that may be purchased from the Counterparty will not exceed
(x) the Maximum Number of Shares, minus (y) the Recycled Shares.
The Forward Purchase Agreement
provides that the Seller will be paid directly an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to (x) the product
of (i) the number of Shares as set forth in a Pricing Date Notice and (ii) the redemption price per share of $ 11.1347 , less (y) the Initial
Prepayment Shortfall. In addition to the Prepayment Amount, the Counterparty will pay directly from the Trust Account, on the Prepayment
Date, an amount equal to the product of (x) up to 100,000 (with such final amount to be determined by Seller in its sole discretion via
written notice to the Counterparty) and (y) the Initial Price. The Shares purchased with the Share Consideration (the “Share Consideration
Shares”) will be incremental to the Maximum Number of Shares (as defined below) and will not be included in the number of Shares
in connection with the Transaction under the Forward Purchase Agreement.
The reset price (the “Reset
Price”) will initially be $ 10.00 . The Reset Price will be subject to reset on a weekly basis commencing the first week following
the thirtieth day after the closing of the Business Combination to be the lowest of (a) the then current Reset Price, (b) the Initial
Price and (c) the VWAP Price of the Shares of the prior trading weeks; provided that the Reset Price will be subject to reduction upon
a Dilutive Offering Reset immediately upon the occurrence of such Dilutive Offering. The “Maximum Number of Shares” subject
to the Forward Purchase Agreement will initially be the Purchased Amount; upon the occurrence of a Dilutive Offering Reset, a number
of Shares equal to the quotient of (i) the Purchased Amount divided by (ii) the quotient of (a) the price of such Dilutive Offering divided
by (b) the $ 10.00 . The “Maximum Number of Shares” subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement will initially be the Purchased
Amount; upon the occurrence of a Dilutive Offering Reset, a number of Shares equal to the quotient of (i) the Purchased Amount divided
by (ii) the quotient of (a) the price of such Dilutive Offering divided by (b) the $ 10.00 .

Prepaid expenses for forward purchase contract (cont.)
From time to time and on
any date following the Trade Date (any such date, an “OET Date”) and subject to the terms and conditions in the Forward Purchase
Agreement, the Seller may, in its absolute discretion, terminate the Transaction in whole or in part by providing written notice to the
Counterparty (the “OET Notice”), by the later of (a) the fifth Local Business Day following the OET Date and (b) no later
than the next Payment Date following the OET Date, (which will specify the quantity by which the number of Shares will be reduced (such
quantity, the “Terminated Shares”)). The effect of an OET Notice will be to reduce the number of Shares by the number of
Terminated Shares specified in such OET Notice with effect as of the related OET Date. As of each OET Date, the Counterparty will be
entitled to an amount from the Seller, and the Seller will pay to the Counterparty an amount, equal to the product of (x) the number
of Terminated Shares and (y) the Reset Price in respect of such OET Date (except that no amount will be due to Counterparty upon any
Shortfall Sale). The payment date may be changed within a quarter at the mutual agreement of the parties.
The “Valuation Date”
is the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is 36 months after the Closing Date, (b) the date specified by the Seller in a written notice
to be delivered to the Counterparty at the Seller’s discretion (which Valuation Date will not be earlier than the day such notice
is effective) after the occurrence of any of (v) a Shortfall Variance Registration Failure, (w) a VWAP Trigger Event, (x) a Delisting
Event, (y) a Registration Failure or (z) unless otherwise specified therein, upon any Additional Termination Event, and (c) the date
specified by the Seller in a written notice to be delivered to the Counterparty at the Seller’s sole discretion (which Valuation
Date will not be earlier than the day such notice is effective). The Valuation Date notice will become effective immediately upon 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 2, 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 an 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 the shortfall prepayment as a reduction to “prepaid expenses for forward purchase contract.”
As of December 31, 2025
and 2024, the Company had an outstanding balance of prepaid expenses for forward purchase contract of $ 13,114,964 .
Management assessed the
recoverability of the prepaid balance and concluded that no impairment was recorded as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The realization
of this balance is dependent on future share transactions under the Forward Purchase Agreement and is subject to significant uncertainty,
including market conditions and the Company’s listing status. Accordingly, the prepaid balance is not expected to generate near-term
cash inflows.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
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, 2025 and 2024, there were
no temporary differences and no deferred tax asset or liability recognized. The Company does not believe that there were any uncertain
tax positions as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Segment reporting
The Company uses the management
approach to determine operating segment. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s
chief operating decision maker (“CODM’’) for making decisions, allocation of resource and assessing performance. The
Company operates and manages its business as a single operating and reportable segment. The Company’s CODM has been identified
as the Chief Executive Officer who reviews the consolidated net loss when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performances
of the Company. Significant segment expenses are the same as these presented under the operating costs and expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and the difference between net revenue less significant segment expenses and consolidated
net loss are the other segment items. The CODM reviews and utilizes these financial metrics together with non-financial metrics to make
operation decisions, such as the determination of the fee rate at which the Company charges for its products and services and the allocation
of budget between operating costs and expense.
For the years ended December
31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has not generated revenues from operating activities.

Recently adopted accounting standards
In March 2024, the FASB
issued ASU 2024-02, “Codification Improvements – Amendments to Remove References to the Concept Statements” (“ASU
2024-02”). ASU 2024-02 contains amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification that remove references to various FASB
Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other
instances, the references were used in prior Statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas. The Company adopted ASU 2024-02
for the annual period ending December 31, 2025. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our results of operations,
cash flows or financial condition.
Recently issued accounting standards
In December 2025, the FASB
issued ASU 2025-11, which is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270 and clarify when it applies. Under
the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. The ASU
also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, adds lists to ASC 270 of the interim disclosures required by all other
Codification topics, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting
period that have a material impact on the entity. As the Board stated in the proposed guidance and reiterates in the ASU, the amendments
are not intended to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or expand or reduce current interim disclosure requirements. For
public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2025-11 are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2027. For entities other than public business entities, for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2028. Early adoption is permitted for all entities.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU
2025-05, which amends ASC 326-20 to provide a practical expedient for all entities which elect a practical expedient that assumes
that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset in developing reasonable and supportable
forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, and an accounting policy election for all entities, other than a public business
entity, that elect the practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current
contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. Under ASU 2025-05, an entity is required to disclose whether
it has elected to use the practical expedient and, if so, whether it has also applied the accounting policy election. An entity that
makes the accounting policy election is required to disclose the date through which subsequent cash collections are evaluated. ASU 2025-05
is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting
periods, with early adoption permitted. Entities should apply the new guidance prospectively. 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, “Income Statement – Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40):
Clarifying the Effective Date.” This pronouncement revises the effective date of ASU 2024-03 and clarifies 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 accounting
standard update. The Company is currently evaluating these new disclosure requirements and does not expect the adoption to have a material
impact.
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. The Company is currently evaluating these
new disclosure requirements and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Recently issued accounting standards (cont.)
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 is currently evaluating
these new disclosure requirements and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact.
The Company does not believe
other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on its consolidated
financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.
Significant risks and uncertainties
Credit risk
Assets that potentially
subject the Company to a 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, 2025, the Company held cash
of $ 10,093 , among which $ 8,911 was deposits in bank accounts in Taiwan, $ 217 deposited in bank accounts in the United States and $ 965
in bank accounts in Hong Kong.
Bank accounts in each bank
in Taiwan are insured by the government authority with the maximum limit of TW$ 3,000,000 (equivalent to approximately $ 95,600 ). 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$ 800,000 (equivalent
to approximately $ 102,800 ). 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
As of December 31, 2025,
the Company had cash of $ 10,093 and has incurred recurring losses from operations since inception. The Company reported a net loss of
approximately $ 2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 39.1 million. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company faces several significant
uncertainties, including:
●
Operating losses and liquidity
constraints – The Company has not generated sufficient revenues to support its operations and has limited cash resources to
meet its obligations.
●
Prepaid Forward Contract
– The Company has recorded a prepaid balance related to a forward purchase agreement as a current asset. The realization of
this balance is dependent on the counterparty’s sale of the Company’s shares and is subject to significant uncertainty,
including market conditions and the Company’s listing status. The arrangement is not expected to generate near-term cash inflows
and may not be readily realizable in cash. Accordingly, this balance does not provide immediate liquidity to support the Company’s
operations.
●
Nasdaq delisting – The Company’s common stock was suspended from trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on April 21, 2025 and subsequently delisted on July 31, 2025. The Company’s securities are currently quoted on the over-the-counter market. This significantly limits the Company’s ability to access public capital markets and raises substantial uncertainty regarding its ability to obtain financing.
●
Dependence on principal
shareholder – The Company has historically relied on financial support from its principal shareholder. Due to ongoing legal
proceedings involving the shareholder, there is significant uncertainty regarding the shareholder’s ability and willingness
to continue providing financial support.
Management has undertaken
certain actions to address these conditions, including exploring potential financing alternatives, seeking additional equity or debt
funding, and evaluating cost reduction and restructuring initiatives. The Company is also pursuing strategic transactions, including
a proposed acquisition; however, such transaction remains subject to completion and other uncertainties, and the target entity is also
subject to its own going concern considerations.
However, there can be no
assurance that these plans will be successfully implemented or will be sufficient to alleviate the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern, including the Company’s ability to realize value from the forward purchase arrangement.
Accordingly, the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and generate sufficient cash flows
from operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company provided full allowance for credit losses against the balance due to liquidation of GMFI.
5. OPERATING LEASE
As of December 31, 2025,
TP Holdings had one 24-month office spaces lease agreement in Hong Kong with Thunder Power (Hong Kong) Limited (“TP HK”),
a related party of the Company (Note 9). The lease agreement is non-cancellable, expiring in March 2027. The Company considers those
renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement
of right of use assets and lease liabilities. Lease expense for lease payment is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company determines whether
a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance
or operating lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however,
most of the leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company discounts lease payments based on an estimate
of the incremental borrowing rate.
For operating leases that
include rent holidays and rent escalation clauses, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term
from the date it takes possession of the leased property. The Company records the straight-line lease expense and any contingent rent,
if applicable, in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The lease agreements do
not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
For short-term leases, the
Company records operating lease expense in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis
over the lease term and record variable lease payments as incurred.

In connection with share redemptions that occurred in June 2024, the Company initially recorded an excise tax payable of $ 411,491 . During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reversed this liability as additional share issuances during the period reduced the net excise tax obligation under the provisions of the IRA.

of the IPO, FLFV issued 478,875 warrants to FLFV’s Sponsor and 20,000 warrants to US Tiger (“Private
Warrants”) (Public Warrants and Private Warrants collectively the “Warrants”). Each Warrant entitles the registered

later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or 30 days after June 21, 2024. The Warrants will expire five years after June

Warrants for redemption at a price of $ 0.01 per Warrant:
●
in whole and not in part;
● upon not less than 30 days ’ prior written notice of redemption (the “ 30 -day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and
● if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $ 16.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30 -trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
The Company accounted for
the Warrants as equity instruments in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815-40,
“Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The Company accounted for the Warrants as an expense
of the IPO resulting in a charge directly to stockholders’ equity. The Company estimates that the fair value of the Public Warrants
and Private Warrants to be approximately $ 1.1 million and $ 0.05 million, respectively, or at $ 0.108 per warrant, using
the Monte Carlo Model. The fair value of the Public Warrants and Private Warrant are estimated as of the date of grant using the
following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 10.3 %, (2) risk-free interest rate of 2.92 %, (3) expected life of 1.38 years,
(4) exercise price of $ 11.50 and (5) stock price of $ 9.76 .

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had net operating loss carrying
forwards of $ 398,606 from the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiary, which will be carried forward indefinitely to offset future profits
of the Company’s Hong Kong subsidiary. 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, 2025, 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 measures the
unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income
tax expenses.

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Share options
In October 2014, TP
Holdings adopted a Thunder Power Holdings Limited Share Option Plan (the “2014 Plan”), As of December 31, 2024, the 2014
Plan existed to the extent that there are options/awards outstanding thereunder.
On June 17, 2024, the stockholders
of the Company voted to approve the 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which became effective at the closing
of the Business Combination. All outstanding options to purchase share of TP Holdings granted under the 2014 Plan have rolled over into
the 2024 Plan and became options to purchase share of Common Stock of the Company. Such options granted under the 2014 Plan will continue
to be subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the agreements evidencing such stock options and the terms of the 2024 Plan
(including the terms of the Prior Plan attached as an exhibit to the 2024 Plan).
The total number of shares
of the Company’s Common Stock reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to awards under the 2024 Plan equals 10 % of
the total number of outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock immediately following the Business Combination, the full amount
of which may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options. In addition, annually on the first trading day of the calendar year, beginning
with the 2025 calendar year, the share reserve (but not the incentive stock option limit) will automatically increase by 5 % of the total
number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year, unless
the administrator of the 2024 Plan acts prior to January 1 of such calendar year to provide that there will be no increase or a lesser
increase in the share reserve for that year. Under the 2024 Plan, non-employee directors, employees and consultants, and any individual
to whom the Company and the affiliates have extended a formal offer of employment, are eligible to receive awards under the 2024 Plan.
There is no limit on the number or class of directors, employees or consultants that are eligible to receive awards.

11. CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
On June 21, 2024, the Company
entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with Mr. Wellen Sham, Yuanmei Ma and CST, pursuant to which, among
other things, (1) CST will act as the escrow agent under the Escrow Agreement; (2) at the closing of the Business Combination, the Company
deposited with CST 20,000,000 shares of common stock as Earnout Shares, to be held by CST in a segregated escrow account (“Earnout
Escrow Account”); and (3) if any portion of the Earnout Shares becomes eligible for release in accordance with the terms of the
Escrow Agreement, CST will release the applicable portion of the Earnout Shares from the Earnout Escrow Account in accordance with the
terms of the Escrow Agreement and disburse to each eligible recipient the applicable portion of Earnout Shares therefrom.
The Earnout Shares shall
be released or otherwise forfeited as follows: (i) an aggregate of 5,000,000 Earnout Shares (the “Tranche 1 Earnout Shares”)
will be vested, if and only if, on the occurrence that the amount of sales/revenues of the Company for any of the fiscal years (such
fiscal year is referred to as “Tranche 1 Fiscal Year”) ending from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2025 is no less than
$ 42,200,000 as evidenced by the audited financial statements of the Company prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the Tranche 1 Fiscal
Year that is contained in an annual report on Form 10-K filed by the Company with the SEC (the “Tranche 1 Annual Report”);
(ii) an aggregate of 15,000,000 Earnout Shares (the “Tranche 2 Earnout Shares”) will be vested, if and only if, on the occurrence
that the amount of sales/revenues of the Company for any of the fiscal years (such fiscal year is referred to as “Tranche 2 Fiscal
Year”) ending from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2026 is no less than $ 415,000,000 as evidenced by the audited financial statements
of the Company prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the Tranche 2 Fiscal Year that is contained in an annual report on Form 10-K
filed by the Company with the SEC (the “Tranche 2 Annual Report”); (iii) Within five (5) business days following the determination
that all or any portion of the Tranche 1 Earnout Shares or Tranche 2 Earnout Shares become vested, the Company, together with Mr. Sham
and Ms. Ma, shall instruct the Escrow Agent to irrevocably and unconditionally release the vested tranche of Earnout Shares from the
Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement to certain of the Company’s shareholders. Each tranche of Earnout
Shares may be released only once, but more than one tranche can be released in any year in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.
The Earnout Shares were
issued in connection with the Business Combination and are classified as equity instruments. The Earnout Shares were measured at their
grant-date fair value on June 21, 2024 and recorded within additional paid-in capital. Because the Earnout Shares are classified as equity
instruments, they are not subsequently remeasured. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the revenue performance conditions
required for vesting were not achieved. Accordingly, no Earnout Shares were released from escrow as of December 31, 2025.
The Earnout Shares are classified
as equity instruments. Because the Earnout Shares are subject to vesting conditions, the Company evaluated the appropriate grant-date
measurement basis in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP and recorded the Earnout Shares within equity. The Earnout Shares are not subsequently
remeasured.
12. COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company’s principal
shareholder was involved in 11 legal proceedings that went to first trial, among which six cases were ended in acquittals, and five cases
were in process of second trial. Currently, the outcome of the five cases cannot be reasonably estimated.
Brown Neri, Smith &
Khan LLP (‘BNSK”) was engaged to represent the Company as a defendant in a lawsuit that was filed by plaintiff Sam Yu (“Yu”)
on or about June 11, 2025 (the “Lawsuit”). The Lawsuit pertains to allegations by Yu against the Company and other individual
defendants pertaining to a Special Purchase Acquisition Company and various Securities Purchase Agreements and related claims of fraud,
breach of contract and negligence. The matter remains pending and is in the discovery phase, with the Company’s Demurrer and Motion
to Strike set for hearing in August 2026. It is too early to make a precise determination regarding potential damages. It is premature
to assess the likelihood of an outcome, but BNSK intends to aggressively defend the matter, while continually assessing the possibility
and favorability of informal resolution.
From time to time, the Company
may be subject to certain legal proceedings, claims and disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcomes
of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted, the Company does not believe these actions, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse
impact on its financial position, results of income or liquidity.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated all events and transactions from December 31,
2025 up to the report date, which is the date that these consolidated financial statements are available to be issued. There are no material
subsequent events that require disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
