ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References to the “Company,” “our,”
“us” or “we” refer to AlphaVest Acquisition Corp. The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s
financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes related
thereto. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements. Our actual
results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
Overview
We were incorporated in the Cayman Islands on
January 14, 2022 for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar
business combination with one or more businesses. While we intend to focus our search on businesses in Asia, we are not limited to a particular
industry or geographic region for purposes of consummating an initial business combination. We have not selected any specific business
combination target and we have not, nor has anyone on our behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with
any business combination target. We intend to effectuate our initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of this offering
and the private placement of the private units, the proceeds of the sale of our securities in connection with our initial business combination,
our shares, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.
We expect
to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete a Business
Combination will be successful.
Results of Operations
We have not generated
any revenues to date, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial Business Combination.
All of our activity up to June 30, 2025 has been related to our formation, the Initial Public Offering and, since the closing of the Initial
Public Offering, identifying a target company for our initial Business Combination, and professional costs related with the initial Business
Combination. We have, and expect to continue to generate income in the form of interest income. We expect to continue to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting,
accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with the search for a Business Combination target.
We have neither engaged
in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Following the IPO, we will not generate any operating revenues until after completion
of our initial business combination. We generate income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents after the IPO. After
the IPO, we expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing
compliance), as well as expenses as we conduct due diligence on prospective business combination candidates. We expect our expenses to
increase substantially in connection with the search for a Business Combination target.
For three months ended
June 30, 2025, we had a net income of $23,368, which consists of interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account and bank
interest income of $191,642, offset by formation and operating costs of $168,274.
For three months ended
June 30, 2024, we had a net income of $382,746, which consists of interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account and bank
interest income of $530,143, offset by formation and operating costs of $147,397.
For six months ended
June 30, 2025, we had a net income of $32,064, which consists of interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account and bank
interest income of $378,821, offset by formation and operating costs of $346,757.

For six months ended
June 30, 2024, we had a net income of $731,987, which consists of interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account and bank
interest income of $1,208,626, offset by formation and operating costs of $384,323 and unrealized loss on the investment of $92,316.
Liquidity, Capital
Resources, and Going Concern
On December 22, 2022,
we consummated the Initial Public Offering of 6,000,000 Units and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Units sold, the
Public Shares at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $60,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering,
we consummated the sale of 390,000 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit in a private placement to the Sponsor and EBC (365,000
private units to Sponsor and 25,000 private units to EBC), generating gross proceeds of $3,900,000.
On December 29, 2022,
EBC fully exercised their over-allotment option, resulting in an additional 900,000 Units issued for an aggregate amount of $9,000,000.
In connection with the EBC’s full exercise of their over-allotment option, the Company also consummated the sale of an additional
40,500 Private Units at $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $405,000.
Following the full exercise
of over-allotment option, and the sale of the Private Units, an amount of $70,380,000 ($10.20 per Unit) was placed in the trust account.
The funds held in the Trust Account may be invested in U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open-ended
investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in
the trust account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the trust account, to complete our initial business combination.
To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial business combination,
the remaining proceeds held in the trust account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses,
make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.
As of June 30, 2025,
we had marketable securities held in the trust account of $18,764,521 consisting of U.S. government securities with a maturity of 185
days or less. Interest income on the balance in the trust account may be used by us to pay taxes. Through June 30, 2025, we have not withdrawn
any interest earned from the trust account.
In order to fund working
capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate
of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds on a non-interest bearing basis as
may be required. If we complete our initial business combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial business
combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but
no proceeds from our trust account would be used for such repayment. Other than as described above, the terms of such loans by our officers
and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.
If our estimates of the
costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial business combination are less than
the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination.
Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial business combination or because we become obligated
to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon completion of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional
securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. In addition, we are targeting businesses larger than we could acquire
with the net proceeds of the IPO and the sale of the Private Units, and may as a result be required to seek additional financing to complete
such proposed initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing
simultaneously with the completion of our initial business combination. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination
because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the trust account. In addition,
following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet
our obligations.

There is no assurance
that our plans to consummate a business combination will be successful within the combination period. As a result, there is substantial
doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are
issued or are available to be issued.
As of June 30, 2025,
we had cash of $4,216 and a working capital deficit of $2,422,391. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant professional
costs to remain as a public traded company and to incur transaction costs in pursuit of a Business Combination. In connection with our
assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures
of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” we believe that these conditions raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, if we are unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination
Period and such period is not extended, there will be a liquidation and subsequent dissolution. As a result, we have determined that such
additional condition also raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet
Financing Arrangements
We have no obligations,
assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2025. We do not participate in transactions
that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which
would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet
financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any
non-financial assets.
Related Party Transactions
Please refer to Financial
Statement Note 4 - Related Parties.
Other Contractual
Obligations
We do not have any long-term
debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities reflected on our balance sheet.
Registration Rights
The holders of the Founder
Shares, EBC founder shares, Private Placement Units will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement
dated July 11, 2023 requiring the Company to register such securities for resale. Subject to certain limitations set forth in such agreement,
the holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form registration demands, that the Company
register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration
statements filed subsequent to completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not be required
to effect or permit any registration or cause any registration statement to become effective until the securities covered thereby are
released from their lock-up restrictions. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration
statements.
Business Combination
Marketing Agreement
We have engaged EBC as
an advisor in connection with its Business Combination to assist in holding meetings with the Company stockholders to discuss the potential
Business Combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce the Company to potential investors that are interested in purchasing
its securities in connection with its initial Business Combination and assist with press releases and public filings in connection with
the Business Combination. The Company will pay EBC a service fee for such services upon the consummation of its initial Business Combination
in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO. In addition, the Company will pay EBC a service fee in an amount equal to
1.0% of the total consideration payable in the initial Business Combination if it introduces the Company to the target business with whom
it completes an initial Business Combination and the amount will be payable in cash and is due at the closing date of the initial Business
Combination.

Critical Accounting
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could
materially differ from those estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting policies or estimates.
Net Income (Loss)
per Share
The Company complies
with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable
to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, the Company first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both
the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss less interest
income and unrealized gain or loss on investments in trust account less any dividends paid. We then allocated the undistributed income
(loss) ratably based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding between the redeemable and non-redeemable shares. Any remeasurement
of the accretion to redemption value of the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the
public shareholders.
Recent Accounting
Standards
Management does not believe
that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our consolidated
financial statements.
