Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The
following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read together with our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”) filed with the SEC. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.
GAAP”).
Overview
Our
mission is to make high-quality, personalized healthcare affordable and accessible for all our patients. Our aim is to provide a one
stop healthcare and wellness services through our propriety platform. We currently have operations in Singapore and expect to expand
across Southeast Asia.
In
January 2020, we acquired 100% of the equity interests in Super Gateway Group Limited (“SGGL”), which engaged in the property
and security management of commercial units (shopping malls, business office buildings, industrial buildings), and residential apartments.
We aimed to build an Omni-channel health care and products platform in economies of scale and cross-sell opportunities which would allow
our management services section to expand into new and different verticals of management services in the medical field.
Headquartered
in Singapore and established in 2019, we aim to be a leading next-generation Southeast Asian healthcare-technology provider, integrating
a full continuum of healthcare services with healthcare data analytics to drive high-quality and efficient care for their patients. The
proprietary platform, is its core holistic, connected platform, through which it also offers a mobile application platform for its users.
What makes us unique is the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), which provides real-time actionable
analytics functionality that enables our users to make quick analysis and accurate diagnosis as well as business decisions. The platform
gathers numerous data points and performs predictive analysis, where it can compare events and results over time to identify trends across
various segments and provide accurate insights, analysis, and predictions regarding healthcare. Its AI applications supported on our
platform include smart triage, smart match, smart claims supports and image recognition, as well as predictive algorithms that can read
and analyze MRIs and X-rays. our robust unique proprietary technology platform reduces the time taken for diagnostics yet continues to
promote standardization of diagnostics, which effectively eliminates inefficiencies. Through our software platform, it aims to deliver
data-driven, personalized quality insights to patients while they are at the doctor’s office in order to provide them with different
healthcare and treatment choices.
We
aim to provide a series of products and services through its network and offer an array of complementary products and services to deepen
their relationship with its members from assessing the condition, evaluating the risk level to providing personalized support services.
We
market and promote our Medical Urgent Care services to healthcare provider organizations throughout Singapore using a go-to-market and
direct sales organization composed of highly trained and technical team members that are segmented into several highly targeted and coordinated
teams. These dedicated sales teams develop content and identifies prospects that the sales development team research and qualify to generate
high-grade, actionable sales programs. Our sales and marketing department leverages on their deep experience to deliver an urgent care
solution tailor-fit to the size and specialty of each practice. Through this targeted, coordinated approach, we are able to maximize
resource allocation and allow its sales teams to concentrate on execution.
We
utilize both an inside and outside direct sales force to execute on the qualified marketing programs, partnering with client services
to ensure the prospect is educated on the breadth of our capabilities and demonstrable value proposition. Medical and clinical partners
also play an important role in marketing and selling our products to its customer base. These partners may shorten the sales cycle and
lower the customer acquisition costs. For example, through the Clinic Management System (CMS) partners, we are able to embed its technology
into existing health system technology infrastructure which, as a competitive differentiator, may lead to a higher win rate.
Our
sales and marketing department is primarily responsible for planning and developing its overall marketing strategy, conducting market
research, coordinating the sales and marketing activities to attract new customers and maintain and strengthen relationships with existing
customers, managing the efforts in relation to tender bids and negotiating the terms of our Property Management Service and Security
Service contracts. The team will explore and establish information channels for business development and market research purposes. Such
information channels include websites or other platforms on which property developers or property owners’ associations announce
tender opportunities, uncovering business opportunities by way of recommendation or frequent communication with customers and other industry
players, and organizing promotional events to showcase our service offerings.
Furthermore,
we implement various incentive measures to encourage the sales teams to obtain property management service contracts of properties developed
by third-party developers through research and analysis of and communication with target customers in the real estate industry and taking
advantage of our resources and expertise. In addition, various communication channels are adopted to explore more opportunities to provide
our Property Management Services that are customized and tailored to the specific localities to bring convenience to local property owners
and residents. We continually seek business cooperation opportunities with third-party merchants to enhance the width and depth of its
services.
36
We
believe that our platform will eventually provide a full continuum of healthcare services integrated with healthcare data analytics to
drive improved outcomes for patients. To achieve this, we aim to continuously build towards a consumer-centric digital ecosystem to allow
clients and patients to gain access to quality healthcare while keeping costs affordable. We incorporate AI and ML on the platform and
implements relevant solutions to a wide variety of healthcare and homecare services that it currently provides. AI-driven advancement
will be increasingly visible throughout the healthcare journey including a strong potential for interactive virtual assistants to improve
patient experience and clinician operational workflow. We believe in incorporating technology into the traditional medical services market
and creating an end-to-end ecosystem that provides a comprehensive suite of healthcare and wellness services adds great value.
Recent
Development
On
November 17, 2022, we consummated the business combination contemplated by the “SPA” between us, Euda Health Limited (“EHL”),
Watermark Developments Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company (“Watermark” or the “Seller”) and the
sole owner of EUDA, and Kwong Yeow Liew, dated April 11, 2022 and amended May 30, 2022, June 10, 2022, and September 7, 2022. As contemplated
by the SPA, a business combination between us and EUDA was effected by the purchase by us of all of the issued and outstanding shares
of EUDA from the Seller (the “Share Purchase”), resulting in EUDA becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of us. In addition,
in connection with the consummation of the Share Purchase, we have changed our name to “EUDA Health Holdings Limited.” The
transactions contemplated under the SPA relating to the Share Purchase are referred to in this annual report as the “Business Combination.”
In
connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, we issued convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3,402,225 (the
“Convertible Notes”) in a private placement to certain advisors. Indeterminate or fixed number of ordinary shares (the “Convertible
Note Shares”) could be issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes.
Key
Factors that Affect Operating Results
Strong
Presence and wide Network of Partners to Complement our “Always-On” Approach
We
provide 24/7 concierge-level care coordination services for our high-risk members. As a digital health company, we strongly believe in
advocating the presence of healthcare at any time and any place needed by our customers. Our coordination specialists are trained to
cover all emergency, primary and specialty services and provide the highest level of personalized medical concierge level services at
the push of a button. Furthermore, we strengthen this capability through our geographical presence and wide network of relationships
with medical partners. We have a sizeable number of medical partners across the healthcare spectrum, ranging from ambulatory service
providers and General Practitioner (GP) clinics to hospitals and specialist consultants. The widest range urgent care options are usually
based around pricing, proximity, choice of treatment and medications. Therefore, our relationship with medical partners gives a great
competitive edge as we are able to provide top notch round-the-clock healthcare services based on the requirements expected from our
clients.
Retention
of Key Management Team Members
Another
key differentiating factor for us is the rich blended nature of our management team. Our management team comprises executives with extensive
experience in Healthcare, Technology, Insurance & Consumer Experience segments. The wide array of industries captured by our management
team allows us to deliver superior products and services to Our customers as the management team possesses an in-depth understanding
of the pain points prevalent in the industry. The combination has also enabled us to address the market gap in the healthcare industry
with an innovative data driven all-in-one healthcare platform. However, the loss of any of our key executive team member, such as the
loss of our Chief Technology Officer in May 2023, might affect our quality of services clients are currently receiving and might lead
to our clients to seek medical service from other medical providers.
37
Key
Personnel Discharge of their Duties
If
for any reason, one or more of our employees are unable to discharge their duties properly or in the best interest of us in the property
management sector, that may have an adverse impact on our reputation and our brand and our attractiveness to retain our shopping malls,
business office buildings, or residential apartments clients. We may as result potentially lose future revenue from our existing clients
to retain our property management services.
Investment
in Digitalization and Innovation for Digital Care Capabilities
We
are constantly investing in AI technology that is designed to help expand patient engagement while improving efficiencies, reducing the
cost of care and promoting better care coordination. For example, there is an AI deployment enabling a patient-provider matching tool,
allowing patients to input our preference for doctors, timing and area of specialist onto our platform, and our platform will synthesize
patient’s preference to ensure best matches to boost efficiency and user experience. Continued investment in interoperability,
including remote patient monitoring, advanced analytics and lab services as well as the home delivery of pharmaceuticals, is expected
to allow us to expand its use cases. Our investments in interoperability with other technologies have also allowed them to partner with
innovative companies to develop unique products and services. Our strategic partnerships allow our services to be accessed directly through
our interfaces. We believe these partnerships will differentiate our offerings and add new capabilities to drive demand and add value
for our clients.
Our
Ability to Leverage Existing Sales Channels and Penetrate New Markets
We
have developed a highly effective distribution network to target large employers and is committing incremental sales and marketing resources
to the small-medium enterprises to increase our penetration within this market. Additionally, we intend to further penetrate the medical
provider market, notably hospitals and group physician practices, as we believe our solution offers the medical community an attractive
platform from which to generate substantial income by acquiring new patients and to better participate in emerging risk-sharing and value-based
payment models. With expanded access to available health insurance, we also intend to pursue health insurance companies about our services,
hence, which will represent an attractive new sales channel.

Revenues
Our
revenues are derived from medical services, product sales, and property management services. Total revenues decreased by approximately
$1.0 million, or 36.3%, to approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to approximately $2.7 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease of the total revenue was mainly attributable to the decrease of our medical service
and our property management services by approximately $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Revenues
from medical services decreased by approximately $0.8 million, or 49.2%, to approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended March
31, 2023 from approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was mainly due to decrease in average
usage of our specialty care services per corporate client from approximately $3,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to approximately
$2,140 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as less employees/patients was reported injured and seek for our medical service from
our corporate clients. Approximately 993 and 1,300 employees/patients from our corporate clients had utilized our healthcare services
during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As a result, our corporate clients had utilized less of our specialty
healthcare services.
In
addition, decrease in revenue from medical services also attributable to decrease in number of our corporate clients from approximately
400 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to approximately 370 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to increase market competition.
Product
sales
We
did not generate revenues from product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023 while we have insignificant revenue generated
for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Property
management services
Revenues
from property management services decreased by approximately $0.2 million, or 17.7%, to approximately $0.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2023 from approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Property management services revenue
decreased mainly due to the decrease of property management units that we managed with and without our security guard services. The number
of properties managed without security guard service decreased from 39 units for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to 34 units for
the three months ended March 31, 2023. The number of properties managed with security guard services decreased from 13 units for the
three months ended March 31, 2022 to 11 units for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Currently, we do not have any property management
services provided to any medical clinics.

due to the decrease of cost of revenue from property management service while offset by the increase of cost of revenue from medical
services.

Our
cost of revenues from medical services increased by approximately $55,000 or 9.9% to approximately $607,000 the three months ended March
31, 2023 from approximately $553,000 the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in cost of revenues from our medical services
was due to price increase from our third-party clinic service providers despite decrease in our revenues from medical services. The increase
in cost of revenues from medical services – specialty care of approximately $0.6 million or 1,298.5% was mainly because beginning
in April 2022, we directly utilized the third-party clinic service providers and no longer utilized our related party vendor, Cadence
Health Pte. Ltd. (“Cadence”). Same reason was applied to the decrease in cost of revenues from medical services – specialty
care (related party) of approximately $0.5 million or 100.0%. Historically, EUDA’s specialty care medical services provided by
the third-party clinic service providers were insignificant until March 2022 and majority of the cost of revenue from EUDA’s specialty
care medical services for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were provided by our related party vendor, Cadence. Our general practice
medical services were insignificant to our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
40
Our
cost of revenues from property management services decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 17.5%, to approximately $0.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2023 from approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in cost
of revenues from property management services is in line with our decrease of revenues from property management services which was mainly
due to the decreased number of property management units that we managed, and the decreased number of property management employees.

from approximately $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to decrease
of gross profit from medical service as a result of the decrease of revenue from medical service and increase of the related cost of
revenue. The decrease in gross profit also due to the decrease of our revenues from our property management services.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Our overall gross profit percentage was 23.8% and 47.7%, respectively. The decrease in
gross profit percentage of 23.9% was primarily due to the decrease of our medical services gross profit percentage of 41.2%.
Gross
profit percentage for medical services was 23.3% and 64.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease
of gross profit percentage of 41.2% was mainly due to price increase from our major third-party service providers. Beginning in April
2022, we directly utilized clinic service from the third-party providers instead of from our related party, Cadence.

Operating
Expenses

operating expenses increased by approximately $1.2 million, or 99.0%, to approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 2023 from approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase
of general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.2 million.
An
increase of approximately $1.2 million in general and administrative expenses was mainly attributable to an approximately $1.2 million
increases in professional fees, including but not limited to, attorney, auditors and consulting expenses.
An
increase of approximately $0.04 million in selling expenses was mainly attributable to the approximately $0.2 million increase in advertising,
marketing and entertainment expenses as we increased spending in more advertisement posting, and corporate relationship to develop more
potential corporate clients, offset by the approximately $0.2 million decrease in sales commission paid to our sales representative as a
result of less revenue generated for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

was amounted to approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The changes were mainly due to the following:
Change
in fair value of prepaid forward purchase liabilities
We
incurred a loss from change in fair value of prepaid forward purchase liabilities amounted approximately $0.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2023 as we entered into two equity prepaid forward transactions in November 2022, which required for fair value accounting.
Interest
expense, net
The
interest expense, net decreased was due to less outstanding loans with similar interest rate and credit card facilities fee during the
three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.
Other
income
The
decrease of other income of approximately $37,000 was because we received less government grant from Singapore Job Scheme for the three
months ended March 31, 2023.
Provision
for income taxes
Our
provision for income taxes decreased by approximately $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period
in 2022. Our provision for income taxes amounted to approximately $1,000 and $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022,
respectively. The decrease in provision for income taxes is mainly due to decrease of net income before income tax.
42
Net
(loss) income
We
incurred a net loss was approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, while we had a net income of approximately
$0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Changes from net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to net loss
for the same period in 2023 was predominately due to the reasons as discussed above.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
In
assessing liquidity, we monitor and analyze cash on-hand and operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are
to meet working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. Debt financing in the form of
short-term borrowings from banks, private lenders, third parties and related parties and cash generated from operations have been
utilized to finance working capital requirements. As of March 31, 2023, our negative working capital was approximately $6.5 million,
and we had cash of approximately $0.8 million.
We
have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities since 2020 as the digital health
industry is relatively immature and rapidly evolving, and it is uncertain whether it will achieve and maintain high levels of demand,
consumer acceptance and market adoption. Our success will substantially depend on the willingness of our clients’ members or patients
to adopt, and the frequency and extent of their utilization of, our services and solutions, as well as on our ability to demonstrate
the value of digital health to employers, health plans, government agencies and other purchasers of healthcare for beneficiaries. If
our clients, members or patients do not acknowledge the benefits of our services or platform, or if our services are not competitive,
then the market may not develop at all, or we may develop slower than we expect. Similarly, individual and healthcare industry concerns
or negative publicity regarding patient confidentiality and privacy in the context of digital health could restrict market acceptance
of our healthcare services. An occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
or results of operations.
A
potential economic recession and uncertainty in financial markets have resulted in changes in market conditions and produced market volatility.
The impact of inflation and rising interest rates may affect the financial performance of the customers we serve and influence customer
demand. Despite these uncertainties, we continue to seek growth in terms of new and additional corporate clients. We currently rely mainly
on organic growth driven by an increase in corporate clients. If we are unable to retain the active customers while attracting new customers,
it could result in a loss of future revenue and will deteriorate our liquidity and operating cash flow. As a result, we have an ongoing
need to raise additional cash from outside sources to fund our expansion plan and related operations. Successful transition to attaining
profitable operations is dependent upon achieving a level of revenues adequate to support our cost structure. In connection with our
assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,”
management has determined that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year
after the date that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The management’s plan in addressing this
uncertainty is through the following sources:
●
other
available sources of financing from Singapore banks and other financial institutions or private lenders;
●
financial
support and credit guarantee commitments from our related parties; and
●
equity
financing.
In
light of the disparity between the exercise price of the warrants and our current trading price, it is very unlikely that any potential
proceeds from the exercise of our warrants will be realized in the near future. We are in active discussions with underwriters regarding
a potential financing transaction through the issuance of convertible notes and our goal is for such transactions to be completed in
the fourth quarter of 2023 to improve our liquidity and capital resource needs.
On
February 2, 2023, Mr. Alfred Lim, our independent director, loaned us an amount of $128,750 for working capital purposes.

January to May 2023, Mr. Meng Dong (James) Tan, one of our shareholders who currently owns approximately 28% of our ordinary shares,
loaned us in an aggregate amount to approximately $ 0.5 million for working capital purposes.
43
Between
May 16 and May 22, 2023, we issued and sold to eight accredited investors an aggregate of 940,000 ordinary shares (the “Placement
Shares”) at $1.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $940,000 in a private placement.
Should
we need to seek additional capital prior to the potential convertible notes financing transaction, we may continue to go to our related
parties for additional financial support. If the trading price of our ordinary shares experiences a further decline following or as a
result of this offering, it will negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital on favorable terms, if at all.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and, as such, the financial statements do
not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities
that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.
The
following summarizes the key components of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Commitments
and Contingencies
In
the normal course of business, we are subject to loss contingencies, such as legal proceedings and claims arising out of our business,
that cover a wide range of matters, including, among others, government investigations and tax matters. In accordance with ASC No. 450-20,
“Loss Contingencies”, we will record accruals for such loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred
and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.

Capital
Expenditures
For
the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not purchase any equipment for use in medical services or equipment for operational
use. Meanwhile, as of March 31, 2023, we do not have any other material commitments to capital.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect liquidity,
capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.
Emerging
Growth Company
We
are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business
Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements
that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required
to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements
of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously
approved.
45
Further,
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting
standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do
not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting
standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements
that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected to use such extended transition
period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and we have different application dates for public or private companies,
we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
This may make comparison of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an
emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible
because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Financial
statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements and
accompanying notes requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We have identified certain accounting
policies that are significant to the preparation of financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding
of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal
of our financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often
as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.
Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of our significance to financial statements and because of the possibility
that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. Our significant accounting
policies are more fully described in Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, but we believe that the following
critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Prepaid forward purchase liabilities

Revenue Recognition
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of
the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods
presented. Significant accounting estimates reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include estimates
of allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of prepaid forward purchase, valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, and other provisions
and contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
46
Accounts
receivable, net
Accounts
receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts and do not bear interest, which are due
after 30 to 90 days, depending on the credit term with our customers. The carrying value of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance
that reflects our best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period
when a loss is probable based on an assessment of specific evidence indicating collection is unlikely, historical bad debt rates, accounts
aging, financial conditions of the customer and industry trends. Starting from January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU No.2016-13 “Financial
Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASC Topic 326”).
We used a modified retrospective approach, and the adoption does not have an impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements. To estimate expected credit losses, we have identified the relevant risk characteristics of the receivables which include
size and nature. Receivables with similar risk characteristics have been grouped into pools. For each pool, we consider the past collection
experience, current economic conditions and future economic conditions (external data and macroeconomic factors). This is assessed at
each quarter based on the specific facts and circumstances. Our management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts
on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Currently, our policy is to provide 100% allowance
on balance over 2 years past due, 40% allowance on balance between 1 – 2 years past due, 10% allowance on balance between 10 –
12 months past due, 10% on balance between 7 – 9 months past due, and 10% on balance between 4 – 6 months past due. Our management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s
financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered necessary.
Our management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.
Prepaid
forward purchase liabilities
In
connection with the Forward Purchase Agreement, we recognized prepaid forward purchase liabilities in accordance with ASC 480-10-25-8
by using carry and reverse carry arbitrage model to determine the fair value of the prepaid forward purchase liabilities as we have the
obligation to pay cash to settle the maturity consideration.
In
accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , we have determined that the prepaid forward contract is a financial
instrument other than a share that represent or are indexed to obligations to repurchase the issuer’s equity shares by transferring
assets, referred to herein as the “prepaid forward purchase liability” on the consolidated balance sheets. We initially measure
the prepaid forward purchase liability at fair value and measured subsequently at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in
earnings.
As
of the closing of the Business Combination on November 17, 2022, the fair value of the prepaid forward purchase liability was determined
to be $7,409,550. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the change of fair value of the prepaid forward purchase liability
was amounted to a loss of $532,492 and nil, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the prepaid forward purchase liabilities
amounted to $20,853,545 and $20,321,053, respectively.
Warrant
We account for warrants as
either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable
authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”)
and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding
financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants
meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to our ordinary
shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of our control,
among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the
time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants
that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of equity at the time
of issuance. We determined that upon further review of the warrant agreements, we concluded that the warrants qualify for equity accounting
treatment.
Upon completion of the business combination, all of 8i’s public and private warrants remain outstanding were
replaced by our public and private warrants. We treated such warrants replacement as a warrant modification and no incremental fair value
was recognized.
Income
taxes
We
account for income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP for income taxes. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal
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 calculated using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying
amount of assets and liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis. In principle,
deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that
it is probable that taxable income will be utilized with prior net operating loss carried forwards 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 income statement,
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 utilized. Current
income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Our assumptions on valuation allowance includes
our subsidiaries historical operating result and likelihood of whether we expect we can realize such deferred tax assets in the near
future.
47
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.
