NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MAY 31, 2020

(UNAUDITED) 

 

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 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.

 

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 financial statements of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Photozou Koukoku. Intercompany transactions are eliminated.

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the six months period, have been made. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the entire fiscal year. When used in these notes, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” mean the Company. Certain information and note disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America has been omitted from these statements pursuant to such accounting principles and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2019, included in our Form 10-K.

 

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 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 May 31, 2020 and for the six months then ended. Actual 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.

 

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. Shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rate at the time of transaction.  The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income 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:

 

  May 31, 2020   May 31, 2019
Current JPY: US$1 exchange rate 107.77   108.26
Average JPY: US$1 exchange rate 108.50   110.69

 

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 income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND DEFERRED REVENUE  

 

Starting December 1, 2018, the Company adopted 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 is recognized when the cameras are delivered to the customer. There is no deferred revenue as of May 31, 2020 or November 30, 2019.

 

Disaggregated revenue of the Company is as follows:

 

    For the six months Percentage of For the six months Percentage of
    ended total revenues ended total revenues
    May 31, 2020   May 31, 2019  
Revenue from cameras sold $ 120,342 94.8% 105,746 88.4%
Service revenue   6,563 5.2% 13,900 11.6%
Total   126,905 100% 119,646 100%

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued 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.

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 negative cash flows from operating activities. 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 4 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

For the six months ended May 31, 2020, Photozou Co., Ltd., a company controlled by Koichi Ishizuka, CEO, advanced to the Company $82,947 and paid expense on behalf of the Company in an amount of $46,305. The total due to related party as of May 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019 were $454,624 and $319,336, respectively, and are unsecured, due on demand and non-interest bearing.

 

For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Company borrowed $72,614 from Photozou Co., Ltd. During the same period, due to related party of $17,634 was forgiven by Photozou Co., Ltd. and was deemed as capital contribution.

 

For the six months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company rented office space and storage space from the Company’s officer free of charge.

 

NOTE 5 - SHAREHOLDER EQUITY

 

Preferred Stock 

The authorized preferred stock of the Company consists of 20,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.0001. The Company has not issued any shares for the six months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Common Stock

 

The authorized common stock of the Company consists of 500,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.0001. There were 8,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of May 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019.

 

Pertinent Rights and Privileges

Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held to be used at all stockholders’ meetings and for all purposes including the election of directors. Common stock does not have cumulative voting rights. Nor does it have preemptive or preferential rights to acquire or subscribe for any unissued shares of any class of stock.

 

NOTE 6 - CONCENTRATION  

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of purchases of inventory, accounts receivable and revenue.

 

Concentration of Purchases

 

Net purchases from suppliers accounting for 10% or more of total purchases are as follows:

 

For the six months ended May 31, 2020, 100% of the inventories of cameras were purchased from one supplier whose name was Digital Reuse. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, 96.7% of the inventories of cameras were purchased from one supplier whose name was Digital Reuse.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.”

 

These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

 

Company Overview

 

Corporate History

 

Photozou Holdings, Inc., ("Photozou Holdings," or the "Company"), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 29, 2014, with the purposes to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "DGCL").

 

The Company was formed by Thomas DeNunzio, our former sole officer and director, for the purpose of creating a corporation which could be used to consummate a merger or acquisition.

 

On January 13, 2017, Thomas DeNunzio sold 8,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock, which represented all of our issued and outstanding shares at the time, to Photozou Co., Ltd., a Japan corporation.

 

The shares were sold for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. Photozou Co., Ltd. is controlled by Koichi Ishizuka, a Japanese citizen. The aforementioned shares were sold pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Regulation S"). No directed selling efforts were made in the United States.

 

On January 13, 2017, Mr. Thomas DeNunzio resigned as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer. 

 

On January 13, 2017, Mr. Koichi Ishizuka was appointed as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer.

 

On January 18, 2017, we changed our name from Exquisite Acquisition, Inc. to Photozou Holdings, Inc. 

 

Pursuant to our Registration Statement deemed effective on June 20, 2017, the Company sold a total of 3,037,300 shares of our common stock. The proceeds totaled $75,933. These shares were sold pursuant to Rule 419.

 

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 August 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 Co., Ltd. was incorporated under the laws of Japan on March 14, 2017. Currently, Photozou Koukoku is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The Company’s primary business is focused on online advertising and the sale of used cameras.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

Our cash balance is $81,486 as of May 31, 2020. Our cash balance is not sufficient to fund our limited levels of operations for any period of time. We have been utilizing and may utilize funds from Koichi Ishizuka, our sole Officer and Director who has informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for filing fees, and professional fees. Koichi Ishizuka, however, has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the company.

 

Net Loss

 

We recorded a net loss of $47,784 and $46,165 for the six months ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in net loss is attributed to the increase of operating expenses.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected businesses of all kinds. It is possible that the pandemic may hinder our own operations, resulting in lesser or no future revenues. It might also affect our means to purchase used cameras, as many businesses are closed, or operations are limited.

 

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 net loss from inception and negative cash flows. 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.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer (who is acting as our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of May 31, 2020, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our chief executive officer, with the participation of our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The officers concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to material weaknesses identified below. 

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: domination of management by a single individual without adequate compensating controls, lack of a majority of outside directors on board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives, and lack of an audit committee. These material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer in connection with the above evaluation.

 

Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls

 

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have occurred for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2020, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
