Overview Until the consummation of the Business Combination on November 17, 2022, we were a blank check company, incorporated on January 21, 2021 as a British Virgin Islands business company and formed for the purpose of effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Our sponsor was 8i Holdings 2 Pte Ltd., a Singapore Limited Liability Company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective on November 22, 2021. On November 24, 2021, we consummated our initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) of 8,625,000 Units, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase 1,125,000 units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Transaction costs amounted to $5,876,815 consisting of $1,725,000 of underwriting fees, $3,018,750 of deferred underwriting commissions, $483,477 excess of fair value of representative’s purchase option and $649,588 of other offering costs, and was all charged to shareholders’ equity. Upon the closing of the IPO and the private placement, $86,250,000 was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC acting as trustee. The funds held in the Trust Account were invested only in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest solely in United States government treasuries. The proceeds were released from the Trust Account upon the completion of the Business Combination with EUDA Health Limited. Recent Developments Entry into Share Purchase Agreement On April 11, 2022, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with EUDA Health Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company (“EUDA Health”), Watermark Developments Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company (the “Seller”) and Kwong Yeow Liew, acting as Representative of the Indemnified Parties (the “Indemnified Party Representative”). Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, a business combination between us and EUDA Health (the “Business Combination”) was effected through the purchase by 8i Acquisition 2 Corp. of all of the issued and outstanding shares of EUDA Health from the Seller (the “Share Purchase”). On May 30, 2022, the parties amended the SPA to extend the time for 8i Acquisition 2 Corp to complete its financial, operational and legal due diligence review of EUDA Health from May 31, 2022 to June 15, 2022. On June 10, 2022, the parties to the SPA, as amended, entered into a second amendment of the SPA, pursuant to which parties agreed to (i) reduce the initial consideration to be paid at closing of the Share Purchase; and (ii) reduce the earnout payments. On September 7, 2022, the parties to the SPA, as amended, entered into a third amendment of the SPA, pursuant to which the parties agreed (i) to require two signatories for any and all disbursements of funds from the Purchaser Bank Account (as defined in the SPA), one of whom will be that of the nominee to the 8i Board of Directors selected by the Sponsor, and (ii) from the date of Closing until January 2, 2024, not to change the identity of the signatories of the Purchaser Bank Account to either remove the nominee to the 8i Board of Directors selected by the Sponsor or change the number of authorized signatories of the Purchaser Bank Account. 20 At the time the SPA was signed, Mr. Meng Dong (James) Tan, 8i’s then Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the 8i Board of Directors owned 10% equity interests in the Seller. 8i received a fairness opinion from EverEdge Global to the effect that the purchase price to be paid by 8i for the shares of EUDA Health pursuant to the SPA was fair to 8i shareholders from a financial point of view (the “Fairness Opinion”). Through his two wholly-owned companies, 8i Enterprises Pte Ltd. and 8i Capital Limited, Mr. Tan purchased additional equity interests in the Seller for $400,000 on August 16, 2022. At the time of the closing of Business Combination, Mr. Tan held 33.3% of the equity interests of the Seller. Consideration under the Share Purchase Agreement Initial Consideration Pursuant to the SPA, the initial consideration to be paid at Closing (the “Initial Consideration”) by 8i to Seller for the Share Purchase was an amount equal to $140,000,000. The Initial Consideration was payable in 14,000,000 8i Ordinary Shares, no par value (the “Purchaser Shares”) valued at $10 per share. To secure Seller’s obligations under the indemnification provisions of the SPA, 1,400,000 Purchaser Shares (the “Indemnification Escrow Shares”) were withheld from the Purchaser Shares payable at Closing, and delivered to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as Escrow Agent, to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to an escrow agreement, by and among 8i, Seller, and the Indemnified Party Representative (the “Escrow Agreement”). Earnout Payments In addition to the Initial Consideration, the Seller may also receive up to 4,000,000 additional Purchaser Shares as an earnout payments (the “Earnout Shares”) if, within a 3-year period following the Closing, the volume-weighted average price of Purchaser Shares or certain financial metrics equals or exceeds any of the four thresholds (each, a “Triggering Event”) under the terms and conditions set forth in the SPA and related transaction documents: ● The Seller will be issued 1,000,000 additional Purchaser Shares if during the period beginning on the date of Closing (as defined in the SPA) (the “Closing Date”) and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Purchaser Share Price is equal to or greater than Fifteen Dollars ($15.00) after the Closing Date; ● The Seller will be issued 1,000,000 additional Purchaser Shares if during the period beginning on the first anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Purchaser Share Price is equal to or greater than Twenty Dollars ($20.00); ● The Seller will be issued 1,000,000 additional Purchaser Shares if the consolidated audited financial statements of EUDA Health for the fiscal year commencing January 1, 2023 and ending December 31, 2023, reflect that EUDA Health has achieved both of the following financial metrics for such fiscal year: (x) revenues of at least $20,100,000 and (y) net income attributable to EUDA Health of at least $3,600,000. ● The Seller will be issued 1,000,000 additional Purchaser Shares if the consolidated audited financial statements of EUDA Health for the fiscal year commencing January 1, 2024 and ending December 31, 2024, reflect that EUDA Health has achieved both of the following financial metrics for such fiscal year: (x) revenues of at least $40,100,000 and (y) net income attributable to EUDA Health of at least $10,100,000. Restrictions on Alternative Transactions Each of Seller and 8i agreed that from the date of the SPA until the Closing, it would not, among other things, (i) initiate any negotiations with any person concerning an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction (as such terms are defined in the SPA), (ii) enter into any agreement, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or agreement in principle relating to such Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction, (iii) grant any waiver, amendment or release under any confidentiality agreement or anti-takeover laws, or (iv) otherwise knowingly facilitate any such inquiries, proposals, discussions, or negotiations or any effort or attempt by any person to make an Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Transaction. 21 Other Agreements Relating to the Business Combination Lock-up Agreement In connection with the Closing, the Seller and its designees agreed, subject to certain customary exceptions, not to (i) offer, sell contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Lockup Shares (as defined below), (ii) enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, (iii) enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Shares or otherwise or engage in any short sales or other arrangement with respect to the Lock-Up Shares or (iv) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii) until the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date (the “Lock-up Period,” which period may, upon written agreement of 8i and the Seller, be reduced for one or more holders of the Lockup Shares). The term “Lockup Shares” mean the Purchaser Shares and the Earnout Shares, if any, delivered as earnout payment, whether or not earned prior to the end of the Lock-up Period, and including any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, or representing the rights to receive ordinary shares of 8i after the Closing. Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement At the Closing, 8i entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain existing stockholders of 8i and with the Seller with respect to their shares of 8i acquired before or pursuant to the Share Purchase, and including the shares issuable on conversion of the warrants issued to the Sponsor in connection with 8i’s initial public offering and any shares issuable on conversion of working capital loans from Sponsor to 8i (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”). The agreement amends and restates the registration rights agreement 8i entered into on November 22, 2021 in connection with its initial public offering. No later than fourteen (14) calendar days from the closing, the Company is to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of all or such maximum portion of the Registrable Securities as permitted by the SEC. The registration rights agreement does not contain liquidating damages or other cash settlement provisions resulting from delays in registering the Company’s securities. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Seller Release At Closing the Seller agreed to release 8i, EUDA Health, and all of their respective past and present officers, directors, managers, stockholders, members, employees, agents, predecessors, subsidiaries, affiliates, estates, successors, assigns, partners and attorneys (each, a “Released Party”) to the maximum extent permitted by law, from any and all claims, obligations, rights, liabilities or commitments of any nature whatsoever against 8i, EUDA Health, or any of the Released Parties, arising at or prior to the Closing, or related to any act, omission or event occurring, or condition existing, at or prior to the Closing. The Seller does not release 8i, EUDA Health, or any of the Released Parties from claims arising after the date of the Seller Release, any of the other ancillary agreements to the SPA, or any organizational or governing documents or, of any indemnification agreements with, 8i or any of its subsidiaries. In connection with the Business Combination, we filed a preliminary proxy statement and will file relevant materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A. Promptly after filing our definitive proxy statement with the SEC, we mailed the definitive proxy statement and a proxy card to each stockholder entitled to vote at the special meeting relating to the acquisition. For more information about the Business Combination, please refer to the preliminary proxy statement, the definitive proxy statement and other relevant materials in connection with the acquisition, and any other documents filed by us with the SEC, which may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) or by writing to us at 6 Eu Tong Sen Street, #08-13 The Central, Singapore 059817. 22 Liquidity and Capital Resources At October 31, 2022 and July 31 2022, we had $265,852 and $193,546 in cash, and working deficit of $1,706,946 and $1,408,615, respectively, (excluding deferred offering costs and investments held in trust account), respectively. The registration statement for our IPO was declared effective on November 22, 2021. On November 24, 2021, we consummated the IPO of 8,625,000 units (include the exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters in the IPO) at $10.00 per unit (the “Public Units’), generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000. Each Unit consisted of one ordinary share, one redeemable warrant, and one right to receive one-tenth of an ordinary share upon the consummation of an Initial Business Combination. Simultaneously with the IPO, we sold to Mr. Meng Dong (James) Tan 292,250 units at $10.00 per unit in a private placement generating total gross proceeds of $2,922,500. Offering costs amounted to $5,876,815 consisting of $1,725,000 of underwriting fees, $3,018,750 of deferred underwriting commissions, $649,588 of other offering costs and an excess of fair value of representative’s purchase option of $483,477. Except for the $100 for the Unit Purchase Option and $25,000 of subscription of ordinary shares, we received net proceeds of $87,114,830 from the IPO and the private placement. On January 21, 2021 and February 5, 2021, we issued an aggregate of 1,437,500 ordinary shares to 8i Holding Limited, which were subsequently sold to our Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.017 per share. On June 14, 2021, our Sponsor transferred 15,000 founder shares in the aggregate to the directors for nominal consideration. On October 25, 2021, we issued an additional 718,750 ordinary shares which were purchased by our Sponsor for $12,500, resulting in an aggregate of 2,156,250 ordinary shares outstanding. On January 12, 2022, Mr. Meng Dong (James) Tan, the then Chief Executive Officer of the Company, agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Business Combination pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note 1”). The Note 1 was non-interest bearing and payable promptly after the date on which the Company consummated an Initial Business Combination. As of October 31, 2022, the total amount borrowed under the Note 1 was $300,000. On March 18, 2022, Mr. Meng Dong (James) Tan, the then Chief Executive Officer of the Company, agreed to loan the Company up to another $500,000 to cover expenses related to the Business Combination pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note 2”).

As of October 31, 2022, the total amount borrowed under the Note 3 was $200,000. Risks and Uncertainties Management is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 23 Results of Operations As of October 31, 2022, prior to the Business Combination, we had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 21, 2021 (inception) through October 31, 2022 relates to our formation and the IPO. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues as of October 31, 2022. We will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of the Business Combination, at the earliest. We will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from 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 for due diligence expenses. For the three months ended October 31, 2022, we had net income of $201,012, which consisted of $499,343 of dividends earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account, offset by formation and operating costs of $298,331. For the three months ended October 31, 2021, we had a net loss of $45,587 consisting of formation and operating costs. Contractual Obligations We do not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The preparation of 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 identified the following critical accounting policies and estimates: Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption We account for ordinary shares that were subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Our ordinary shares featured certain redemption rights that were considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, ordinary shares that were subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value (plus any interest earned on the Trust Account) as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of our balance sheets. Net Loss Per Ordinary Shares We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per redeemable ordinary share and income (loss) per non-redeemable share following the two-class method of income (loss) per share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable ordinary shares and the non-redeemable shares, we first considered the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares. This is calculated using the total net income (loss) less any dividends paid. For purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share, 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. Subsequent to calculating the total income (loss) allocable to both sets of shares, we split the amount to be allocated using a ratio of 78% for the redeemable ordinary shares and 22% for the non-redeemable shares for the three months ended October 31, 2022, reflective of the respective participation rights. 24 Deferred Offering Costs We comply with the requirements of the FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A –“Expenses of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist of costs incurred in connection with formation and preparation for the IPO. Offering costs are allocated to the Public Warrants, Public Rights and Public Shares issued in the IPO based on fair value at inception compared to the total IPO proceeds received. Offering costs associated with the ordinary shares are allocated between permanent equity and temporary equity. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2024 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. We have determined not to early adopt. Management does not believe that this or any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have an effect on our financial statements.
