NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Humble Imports Inc d/b/a ECD Auto Design and its subsidiary (the “Company,” “ECD,” “we,” “us,” or “our), a Florida corporation incorporated on March 5, 2013, is engaged in the production and sale of Land Rover vehicle. Since the Company’s commencement of operations in 2013, they have established a facility geared towards producing the most customized Land Rovers with the highest quality of parts and the highest quality labor force building each vehicle. The Company primarily earns revenue from the sale of the customized vehicle directly to the customer. Additionally revenue is generated from providing repair or upgrade services to customers and from the sale of extended warranties.
The Company also consolidates, ECD Audit Design UK LTD (“ECD UK”), a private limited company incorporated on July 16, 2021 in England and Wales. ECD UK was formed for the purpose of procuring parts overseas for the Company. ECD UK is a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the company is the primary beneficiary. We are the primary beneficiary of ECD UK as we have both the power to direct the most significant activities impacting their economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits significant to them.
On March 3, 2023, EF Hutton Acquisition Corporation I (the “Registrant” or the “Parent”) entered into a Merger Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Company and EFHAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Merger Sub”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). In connection with the Merger, the Parent will change its name to “ECD Automotive Design, Inc.” or such other name designated by the Company by notice to Parent. The Board of Directors of the Registrant (the “Board”) has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby, and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related matters by the stockholders of the Registrant. On October 14, 2023, the Parent, the Company, ECD UK, Merger Sub and Scott Wallace, as the Securityholder Representative entered into an amendment to the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Merger Agreement and the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement, dated as of October 14, 2023 is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A. At the closing of the Merger, the Parent will issue (a) 25.1 million shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Parent Common Stock”), (b) 39,000 shares of EFHAC Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (c) a warrant to purchase 1,091,525 shares of EFHAC Common Stock (“Common Shares Warrant”) and (d) a warrant to purchase 15,819 shares of EFHAC Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Shares Warrant”) to the ECD Securityholders, as further described in the Merger Agreement. Parent will also pay the ECD Initial Securityholders a cash payment of $2,000,000 as consideration for the Merger.
On June 7, 2023, ECD UK became a wholly owned subsidiary of ECD.
2. GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5.2 million and working capital deficit of approximately $2.5 million. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve-month period since the date of the consolidated financial statements were issued.
The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been from cash receipts from sales and proceeds from its loan payable and line of credit. The Company intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or sustain operations. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced. The spread of COVID-19 around the world in the first quarter of 2020 has caused significant volatility in U.S. and international markets. There is significant uncertainty around the breadth and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19, as well as its impact on the U.S. and international economies and, as such, the Company is unable to determine if it will have a material impact to its operations.
6
Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as to those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions used in revenue recognition, useful life of assets, and allowance for doubtful accounts.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for the purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. Accordingly, the Company operates and manages its business as one operating segment and one reportable segment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments acquired with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value, because of the short maturity of these instruments.
7
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers Topic 606” (“Topic 606”), using the modified retrospective method. There was no material impact to the Company upon the adoption of Topic 606. Revenue is recognized when the Company transfers promised goods or services to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as the Company fulfills its obligations under the agreement, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that it will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.
Product Revenue – Parts and Builds
The Company generates revenue through the sale of Land Rover vehicle directly to customers. The Company considers the build/sales contracts to be the contracts with the customer. There is a single performance obligation in all of the Company’s contracts, which is the Company’s promise to transfer the Company’s product to customers based on specific payment and shipping terms in the arrangement. The entire transaction price is allocated to this single performance obligation. Product revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which occurs at shipment.
Upon execution of the contract, the Company bills its customers the total consideration of the contract. The Company receives approximately 50% of the total consideration of the contract from its customers as acceptance of contract, which are initially recorded in customer deposits, and are recognized as net revenue when the products are shipped.
Service Revenue
The Company generates revenue through providing repair or upgrade service to customers. The Company agrees with the customer on a budget and deliverable. This is typically evidenced by an email which represents the customer arrangement. There is a single performance obligation, which is the Company’s promise to perform the repair or upgrade work on the vehicle. The entire transaction price is allocated to this single performance obligation. Service revenue is recognized when the repair or upgrade work is completed and the customer receives the vehicle.
Warranty Revenue
The Company generates revenue through the sale of extended warranty to customers. The customers agree to the terms and conditions at the time of purchase, which represents the customer arrangements. The period covered by the extended warranty is usually one year. The Company has elected to apply the optional exemption provided in ASC 606 and therefore, is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period.
Product Limited Warranty
Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers customers a limited warranty for work performed on the vehicle under the builds/sales contract. The customers do not have a contractual right of return. The Company only offers a limited warranty for the work performed on the vehicle under the contract. If a customer disputes any work performed, the Company will attempt to remedy the work however, it shall not be required to discount the transaction price.
8
Other Revenue Policies
Sales, value add, and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.
Applying the practical expedient in paragraph ASC 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised products to the customer will be one year or less, which is the case with substantially all customers.
Applying the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-25-18B, the Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products. The Company records the related costs as part of the cost of goods good.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The following table summarizes the Company’s net revenues disaggregated by product category:

Ending balance, December 31 | $ | 8,905,411 | $ | 9,493,688 |
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, in addition to the customer deposits noted above, the company has $10,900,702 and $11,072,060, respectively of contract consideration allocated to a performance obligation not yet completed. The customer deposits and performance obligations not yet completed are typically recognized in revenue at a point in time within the next twelve months as the custom build vehicles are delivered to customers.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at original invoice amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing balances. Management estimates the allowance based on collectability of accounts receivable and prior bad debt experience. Accounts receivable balances are written off against the allowance upon management’s determination that such accounts are uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. Management believes that credit risks on accounts receivable will not be material to the financial position of the Company or results of operations. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
9
Inventories
Work in progress, work in progress – shipping and consumables, and work in progress – labor costs reported in inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the basis of the direct and indirect costs that are directly attributable. The measurement of inventories is generally based on the weighted average method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life of 5 to 15 years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition is reflected in earnings.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company follows a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of the assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset.
Income taxes
As an S corporation, the Company is not directly liable for federal income taxes. Such taxes are the responsibility of the individual shareholders. Income and losses for tax purposes may differ from the financial statement amounts and may be allocated to the shareholders on a different basis for tax purposes than for financial statement purposes. The shareholder’s’ equity balances as reflected in the accompanying financial statements do not necessarily represent the shareholders’ tax basis of their respective interests.
Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company accounts for net income (loss) per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”), which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. It excludes the dilutive effects of any potentially issuable common shares. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by including any potentially dilutive share issuances in the denominator. The Company does not have potentially dilutive share issuances and therefore basic and dilutive income (loss) per share is the same.
10
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”) and short-term and long-term lease liability are included on the face of the consolidated balance sheets.
ROU asset represents the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU asset and liability are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date over the respective lease term in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, the Company has elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and it recognizes such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loan payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of lease liability also approximates fair value since the instrument bears market rates of interest. None of these instruments are held for trading purposes.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
● | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; | |
● | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and | |
● | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes the current lease requirements in ASC 840, Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and related lease liability for all leases, with a limited exception for short-term leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. Currently, leases are classified as either capital or operating, with any capital leases recognized on the consolidated balance sheets. The reporting of lease-related expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows will be generally consistent with the current guidance. The Company expects to elect the package of practical expedients which permits the Company to not reassess under the new standard the prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, or initial direct costs. The Company expects to elect to combine non-lease and lease components when accounting for leases. The Company expects to make a policy election to exclude short-term leases, those with an original term of less than twelve months, from recognition and measurement under ASC 842. As such, the Company expects to not recognize a right of use asset or lease liability for these leases. The Company expects to adopt ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method as of the adoption date. As a result of expecting to elect the modified retrospective approach, the Company will not restate prior year financial statements to conform to the new guidance. The Company’s operating lease portfolio primarily includes offices and office equipment. As a result of adoption of ASC 842, the Company recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). This standard requires a new method for recognizing credit losses that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) method. The CECL method requires the recognition of all losses expected over the life of a financial instrument upon origination or purchase of the instrument unless the Company elects to recognize such instruments at fair value with changes in profit and loss (the fair value option). This standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 clarifies and simplifies accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions for intra period tax allocation principles, and recognition of deferred taxes for outside basis differences in an investment, among other updates. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
