NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER
30, 2020 AND 2019
NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Photozou Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”)
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 29, 2014.
On May 8, 2018, the
Company conducted a stock cancellation of the above 3,037,300 shares and the total funds of $75,933 were returned to investors.
The cancellation of the shares and return of funds was due to the fact that we did not make an acquisition in the allotted time
granted by Rule 419.
On May 31, 2018,
the Company entered into and consummated a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Koichi Ishizuka,
our President, CEO, and Director. At the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Koichi Ishizuka transferred to the Company,
10,000 shares of common stock of Photozou Koukoku Co., Ltd., a Japan corporation (“Photozou Koukoku”), which represented
all of its issued and outstanding shares, in consideration of 1,000,000 JPY ($9,190 USD as of the exchange rate May 31, 2018).
The Company has since gained a 100% interest in the issued and outstanding shares of Photozou Koukoku’s common stock and
Photozou Koukoku is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company and Photozou Koukoku were under common control at
the time of the acquisition.
Photozou Koukoku was incorporated under the
laws of Japan on March 14, 2017. Currently, Photozou Koukoku is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The Company offers advertising
services and sells used cameras on consignment.
On June 5, 2018, Photozou Co., Ltd., our controlling
shareholder, entered into stock purchase agreements with 69 Japanese shareholders. Pursuant to these agreements, Photozou Co.,
Ltd. sold 3,028,900 shares of Photozou Holdings common stock in total to these individuals and received $75,723 as aggregate consideration.
Each shareholder paid .025 USD per share.
On July 17, 2018, Photozou Co., Ltd., our
controlling shareholder, entered into stock purchase agreements with 1 Japanese shareholder. Pursuant to these agreements, Photozou
Co., Ltd. sold a total of 7,000 shares of common stock to this individual and received $175 as aggregate consideration. Each shareholder
paid $0.025 USD per share.
On September 21, 2020, Photozou Co., Ltd., our principal controlling
shareholder, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Koichi Ishizuka, our Sole Officer and Director. Pursuant to the closing
of the Agreement on September 21, 2020, Photozou Co., Ltd. transferred to Koichi Ishizuka 4,553,200 shares of our common stock,
which represents approximately 56.9% of our issued and outstanding common stock, in consideration of JPY 6,657,917 (approximately
$60,500). Following the closing of the share purchase transaction, Koichi Ishizuka owns approximately 66.7% interest in the issued
and outstanding shares of our common stock. Photozou Co., Ltd. was and remains owned and controlled entirely by Koichi Ishizuka,
we do not believe that this transaction is deemed to be a change in control of the Company.
Our principal executive offices are located
at 4-30-4F, Yotsuya, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 160-0004, Japan.
The Company has elected November 30th as its
fiscal year end.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES
OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Photozou Koukoku. Intercompany transactions are eliminated.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The presentation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates and assumptions
made by management include going concern, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation allowance on deferred income tax, inventory
obsolescence and sales allowance. Since early 2020, the global outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”)
has significantly affected the economy in Japan, where the Company mainly operates its business. The extent to which the COVID-19
pandemic may directly or indirectly impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations is highly uncertain and
subject to change. We considered the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our estimates and assumptions and there was
not a material impact to our consolidated financial statements as of November 30, 2020 and for the year then ended. Operating
results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management's estimates and assumptions.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
The Company accounts for related party transactions
in accordance with ASC 850 ("Related Party Disclosures"). A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that
holds 10% or more of the Company's securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company's management, (iii) someone that
directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly
influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction
when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company conducts business with its related parties
in the ordinary course of business.
Transactions involving related parties cannot
be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not
exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were
consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
CASH
EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CREDIT POLICIES
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried
at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection
of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. If there is a claim for a defect of product after
within four days after arrival of goods, the Company shall accept a goods return.
INVENTORY
Inventory, consisting of used cameras, are
primarily accounted for using the specific identification method, and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
This valuation requires the Company to make judgments, based on currently-available information, about the likely method of disposition,
such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of
each disposition category.
As of November 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company
held inventory comprised solely of used cameras and parts in the amount of $35,484 and $69,142.
SOFTWARE
The Company capitalizes certain costs related
to obtaining or developing computer software for internal use. Costs incurred during the application development stage internally
or externally are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of two to five years since
the computer software is ready for its intended use. The application development stage includes design of chosen path, software
configuration and integration, coding, hardware installation and testing. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage
and post implementation-operation stage are expensed as incurred.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company
reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the
assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected
undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference
between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. For the years ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company
did not record any impairment charges on long-lived assets.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company maintains its books and record
in its local currency, Japanese YEN (“JPY”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic
environment in which its operation is conducted. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are
translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the
applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the
United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In
accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose
functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses
are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements
are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within the statements of shareholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from the local currency
of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates:

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME OR LOSS
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”,
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive
income or loss as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive loss,
as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit consists of changes in unrealized
gains and losses on foreign currency translation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND
DEFERRED REVENUE
The Company recognize its revenue in accordance
with ASC 606 - Revenue from contracts with Customers. To determine revenue recognition for agreements within the scope of ASC
606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations
in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the
contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue for used cameras sold is recognized
at a point in time when the cameras are delivered to the customer. Service revenue is recognized over time when the services are
provided to the customers.
Deferred revenue is recorded when consideration
is received from a customer prior to the goods or services were delivered. As of November 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company's deferred
revenue was $2,302 and nil, respectively.
Disaggregated revenue of the Company is as

NET
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net income per common share is computed pursuant
to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock
during each period. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of November 30, 2020 and 2019.
INCOME TAX
The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by
a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in the Statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company adopted section
740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Section 740-10-25"). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination
of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under
Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not
that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that
has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS
Financial instruments that potentially expose
the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company
places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions. The Company does not require collateral or other security to
support financial instruments subject to credit risks. With respect to trade receivables, the Company routinely assesses the financial
strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that the receivable credit risk exposure is limited.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”
and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance or implementation guidance including ASU 2017-13, 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11,
2018-20 and 2019-01 (collectively, including ASU 2016-02, “ASC 842”). Under ASC 842, lessees will be required to recognize
all leases at the commencement date including a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising
from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use (ROU) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s
right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.
The Company adopted the standard on December
1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and did not restate comparable periods. The Company elected the package of practical
expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification,
the assessment whether a contract is or contains a lease and initial direct costs for any leases that exist prior to adoption
of the new standard. The Company also elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components for certain
classes of underlying assets and the short-term lease exemption for contracts with lease terms of 12 months or less. The Company
does not have any operating lease over 12 months. The adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13
"Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13
requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model to estimate
its lifetime "expected credit loss" and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the
financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result
in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized
cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for smaller reporting companies for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities will apply the standard's provisions
as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance
is adopted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company's financial statements
and disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12:
Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740
and improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance.
ASU 2019-12 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those years beginning after
December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance
but does not expect adoption will have a material impact on the Company's disclosures.
NOTE
3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
are prepared on a basis of accounting assuming that the Company is a going concern that contemplates realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the early stage of operations and has reoccurring
net losses and working capital deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern. The Company will offer noncash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If
the Company is unable to obtain revenue- producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient
to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities
through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders. However,
management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The accompanying
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE

NOTE
6 – INCOME TAXES
The Company conducts its major businesses
in Japan and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that
are subject to examination by the local tax authority.
National income tax in Japan is charged at
15% of a company’s assessable profit. The Company’s subsidiary, Photozou Koukoku, was incorporated in Japan and is
subject to Japanese national income tax and city income tax at the applicable tax rates on the taxable income as reported in their
Japanese statutory accounts in accordance with the relevant enterprises income tax laws applicable to foreign enterprises.
Photozou Koukoku’s operation during
the year ended November 30, 2020 has resulted a net taxable loss, as such Photozou Koukoku was not subject to income tax for the
year ended November 30, 2020. The effective income tax rate of Photozou Koukoku is 0%.
Photozou Holdings, Inc., which acts as a holding
company on a non-consolidated basis, does not plan to engage any business activities and current or future loss will be fully
allowed. For the year ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, Photozou Holdings, Inc., as a holding company registered
in the state of Delaware, has incurred net loss and, therefore, has no tax liability.
The Company has not recognized any income
tax benefit for its operating losses generated based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future
periods. Deferred tax assets arise from net operating loss carried forward of $320,920 are fully allowed as the Company considers
its realization not to be more likely than not. The net operating loss carry forward will start to expire in the year 2028. In
future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such
amounts to be more likely than not. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss
carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur,
net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.
