The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (the "initial business combination") with one or more businesses. We intend to complete our initial business combination using cash from the IPO, our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

We presently have no revenue, have had losses since inception from incurring formation and operating costs and have had no operations other than identifying and evaluating suitable acquisition transaction candidates. We have relied upon the sale of our securities and loans from the Sponsor to fund our operations.

On June 21, 2022, we consummated our initial public offering (the "IPO") of 9,775,000 units (the "Units"), which included 1,225,000 units issued upon the partial exercise of the over-allotment option of the underwriters of the IPO. Each Unit consists of one share of our Class A common stock (the "Class A Common Stock"), $0.0001 par value per share (the "Public Shares"), one redeemable warrant (the "Warrants"), each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and one right (the "Rights"), each one Right entitling the holder thereof to exchange for one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A Common Stock upon the completion of the Company's initial business combination, generating gross proceeds of $97,750,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale (the "Private Placement") of 498,875 units (the "Private Units", consisting of one Class A Common Stock, or the "Private Share", one warrant, or the "Private Warrant", and one right, or the "Private Right") , including 478,875 units to the Company's sponsor, Feutune Light Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor"), and 20,000 units to US Tiger Securities, Inc. ("US Tiger", together with our Sponsor, directors and officers, the "founders"), the representative of the underwriters of the IPO, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating gross proceeds of $4,988,750 (including $4,788,750 from Sponsor and $200,000 from US Tiger) (the "Private Placement Proceeds"). The Private Units are identical to the units as part of the Units in the IPO, except that the Private Units are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with or related to our founders, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. The proceeds of $99,216,250 ($10.15 per Unit) in the aggregate from the IPO and a portion from the Private Placement (the "Trust Funds"), were placed in a trust account (the "Trust Account") established for the benefit of the Company's public stockholders and the underwriters of the IPO with Wilmington Trust, National Association acting as trustee.

The Trust Funds include $3,421,250 payable to the underwriters (the "deferred underwriting compensation") pursuant to the underwriting agreement dated June 15, 2022, entered among us, US Tiger and EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC, the representatives (the "Representatives") of the underwriters of the IPO.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the proceeds of the Private Placement that are held out of the Trust Account, although substantially all the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating an initial business combination and working capital.

Extension of the Period of Time to Consummate Initial Business Combination

On March 21, 2023, an aggregate of $977,500 (the "Extension Payment") was deposited by the Sponsor into the Trust Account for the public stockholders, representing $0.10 per public share, which enables the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by three months from March 21, 2023 to June 21, 2023 (the "Extension").

In connection with the Extension Payment, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the "Note") to the Sponsor.

The Note is non-interest bearing and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) upon the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election of the Company. The holder of the Note has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Note, in whole or in part, into Private Units of the Company, as described in the Prospectus of the Company, by providing the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the Note at least two business days prior to the closing of the Company's initial business combination. The number of Private Units to be received by the holder in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to the holder, by (y) $10.00.

Among $977,500 Extension Payment, (i) $600,000 were deposited by the Company's sponsor, Feutune Light Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor"), and (ii) $377,500 by the Company from the working capital account of the Company in lieu of the Sponsor, pursuant to a non-interest, short-term loan provided by the Company to the Sponsor (the "Short-Term Loan Note") to the Company, which provides for repayment of the Short-Term Loan on or before March 31, 2023.

Results of Operations


Our entire activity from inception up to date was related to the Company's formation, the IPO and general and administrative activities. Since the IPO, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of initial business combination candidates, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination. We generate non-operating income in the form of interest income earned on investment held in the Trust Account. We are incurring 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 period from January 19, 2022 (inception) through December 31, 2022, we had a net income of $537,881 from interest income less formation and operating costs and tax expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources and Going Concern

The Company's liquidity needs up to December 31, 2022 had been satisfied through initial payment from the Sponsor of $25,000 for the insider shares and proceeds from the Private Placement.

On June 21, 2022, we consummated the IPO of 9,775,000 Public Units at a price of $10.00 per unit (including 1,275,000 units issued upon the full exercise of the over-allotment option), generating gross proceeds of $97,750,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and full exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters, we consummated the sale of 498,875 units as Private Placement Units to the Sponsor (for 478,875 units) and US Tiger (for 20,000 units), one of the representative of the underwriters, with each unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock, one warrant and one right, at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $4,988,750. Following the closings of the IPO and the sales of the Private Placement Units on June 21, 2022, a total of $99,216,250 (or $10.15 per share) was placed in the Trust Account.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $546,632 and a working capital of $623,347, excluding taxes payable which will be paid out from the Trust Account.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, excluding deferred underwriting commissions, to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest from the Trust Account to pay taxes, if any. To the extent that our share capital or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete a 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.

We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a 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 as may be required. If the Company completes the initial Business Combination, it will repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the 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 the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $3,000,000 of such loans may be convertible into units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender.

If our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination is 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 Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination, all of which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In addition, under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will have only nine months from the closing of the IPO to complete the initial Business Combination, which may be extended up to three times by an additional three-month each time to a total of 18 months from the closing of IPO. If we are unable to complete a Business Combination by March 20, 2023, (December 20, 2023 upon maximum extension), we may seek approval from our stockholders holding no less than 65% or more of the votes to approve to extend the completion period if we fail to obtain approval from our stockholders for such extension or we do not seek such extension, the Company will cease all operations. On March 17, 2023, an aggregate of $977,500 was deposited by the Sponsor into the Trust Account for the public stockholders, representing $0.10 per public share, which enables the Company to extend the period of time it has to consummate its initial business combination by three months from March 21, 2023 to June 21, 2023.

As a result, management has determined that the liquidity concern and mandatory liquidation both raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arraignments

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2022. 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.





Contractual Obligations


As of December 31, 2022, we do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

We are obligated to pay the Representatives the deferred underwriting compensation equal to 3.5% of the IPO Proceeds which amounted to $3,421,250. The deferred underwriting compensation will become payable to the Representatives from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that we complete the Business Combination.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates





Use of Estimates


The preparation of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2022, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds, which are invested in U.S. Treasury securities carried at fair value. Interest income amounted to $1,309,248 for the period from inception to December 31, 2022.

We classify its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 320 "Investments - Debt and Equity Securities." Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which we have the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheet and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.





Warrants


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 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, whether they 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 own Class A Common Stock 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. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

We accounted for the 9,775,000 Warrants issued with the IPO and 498,875 warrants issued with the Private Placement as equity instruments We accounted for the Warrants as an expense of the IPO and Private Placement resulting in a charge directly to stockholders' equity. We estimated that the fair value of the Warrants issued with the IPO was approximately $2.7 million, or $0.271 per Unit, using the Monte Carlo Model. We estimated that the fair value of the Warrants from the sale of the Private Placement Units was approximately $0.1 million, or $0.271 per Unit, using the Monte Carlo Model

The fair value of the Warrants was estimated as of the date of grant using the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 0.1%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 3.39%, (3) expected life of 6.09 years, (4) exercise price of $11.50 and (5) stock price of $9.60.





                                       18




Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

We account for our Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Class A Common Stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A Common Stock (including Class A Common Stock that feature redemption rights that are 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, Class A Common Stock are classified as stockholders' equity. Our Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2022, shares of Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value of $10.25 per share as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders' equity section of our balance sheet. We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable Class A Common Stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of shares of redeemable Class A Common Stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital or accumulated deficit if additional paid in capital equals to zero.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of our assets and liabilities approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities reflects management's estimate of amounts that we would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, we seek to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:





  ? Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted)
    for identical assets or liabilities in active market.




  ? 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.




Income Taxes



We account for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition.

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2022. We are currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

We have identified the United States as its only "major" tax jurisdiction.

We may be subject to potential examination by federal and state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. Our management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

We are incorporated in the State of Delaware and is required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware on an annual basis.





                                       19





Net Income (Loss) per Share


We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. In order to determine the net income (loss) attributable to both the redeemable shares and non-redeemable shares, we first considered the undistributed income (loss) allocable to both the redeemable Class A Common Stock and non-redeemable Class A Common Sock and the undistributed income (loss) is calculated using the total net loss 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 Class A Common Stock. Any remeasurement of the accretion to redemption value of the Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption was considered to be dividends paid to the public stockholders.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued a new standard (ASU 2020-06) to reduce the complexity of accounting for convertible debt and other equity-linked instruments. For certain convertible debt instruments with a cash conversion feature, the changes are a trade-off between simplifications in the accounting model (no separation of an "equity" component to impute a market interest rate, and simpler analysis of embedded equity features) and a potentially adverse impact to diluted earnings per share by requiring the use of the if-converted method. The new standard will also impact other financial instruments commonly issued by both public and private companies. For example, the separation model for beneficial conversion features is eliminated simplifying the analysis for issuers of convertible debt and convertible preferred stock. Also, certain specific requirements to achieve equity classification and/or qualify for the derivative scope exception for contracts indexed to an entity's own equity are removed, enabling more freestanding instruments and embedded features to avoid mark-to-market accounting. The new standard is effective for companies that are SEC filers (except for smaller reporting companies) for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within that year, and two years later for other companies. Companies can early adopt the standard at the start of a fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The standard can either be adopted on a modified retrospective or a full retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2023 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.
