Dear Ms. Donahue and Mr. Ewing:

On behalf of EF Hutton Acquisition Corporation I (the “Company”), we are hereby responding to the letter dated July 13, 2023 (the “Comment Letter”) from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), regarding the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Commission on June 26, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”). In response to the Comment Letter and to update certain information in the Registration Statement, the Company is submitting an amended registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Amended Registration Statement”) to the Commission today.

For ease of reference, the text of the Staff’s comment is included in italics-face type below, followed by the Company’s response.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet, page 131

3. We note that pro forma adjustment (J) reflects the impact of a $35 million PIPE financing. However, your disclosures throughout the filing, including on page 43, indicate that there currently “is no commitment for the proposed additional financing” and that there “is no assurance” that you will enter into subscriptions at the presumed terms “or at all.” Please remove the PIPE Financing adjustment from your pro forma financial statements until if and when there are formal agreements in place. Prominently disclose, to the extent applicable, that the redemption scenarios depicted would not meet the conditions necessary for the merger transaction to be consummated.

RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosures on pages 127-138 of the Amended Registration Statement.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, page 137

4. We note your response to prior comment 26 and your disclosure that the pro forma combined statement of operations “does not reflect a provision for income taxes or any amounts that would have resulted had the Combined Company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.” Please disclose and confirm that you have used the separate return method in calculating the pro forma tax provision and tax effects of your pro forma adjustments. Refer to Rule 11-02(b)(5) of Regulation S-X.

RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosures on page 137 of the Amended Registration Statement.
