For the Three Months Ended March, 2025 and 2024

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 —DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS

HWH International Inc. (“HWH”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) operate a food and beverage (“F&B”) business in Singapore and South Korea. The F&B business operates four cafés, two of which are located in South Korea and two in Singapore, as well as an online healthy food store serving customers in Singapore.

HWH International Inc. was originally incorporated in Delaware on October 20, 2021 under the name Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company consummated the Business Combination on January 9, 2024 and changed its name from “Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.” to “HWH International Inc.” The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.

On September 9, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, HWH International Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “HWH Nevada” or “Target”) and HWH Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). The Company and Merger Sub are sometimes referred to collectively as the “ACAX Parties.” Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination between the Company and the Target was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into HWH Nevada, with the Target surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) on January 9, 2024, the Company changed its name to “HWH International Inc.” The board of directors of the Company (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related transactions by the stockholders of the Company.

The Target was owned and controlled by certain member officers and directors of the Company and its Sponsor. The Merger was consummated following the receipt of the required approval by the stockholders of the Company and the shareholders of the Target and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions.

The total consideration paid at Closing (the “Merger Consideration”) by the Company to the Target’s shareholders was $125,000,000, and was payable in shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”). The number of shares of the Company Common Stock paid to the shareholders of the Target as Merger Consideration was 12,500,000, with each share being valued at $10.00.

On January 6, 2025, the Company announced the closing of its previously disclosed public offering of 632,500 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”) and 250,000 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock (“Pre-Funded Warrants”). The Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants were offered at a public offering price of $2.00 per share and $1.9995 per Pre-Funded Warrant, respectively. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the offering were approximately $1.76 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. Each of the amounts of warrants and shares and the prices thereof in the foregoing paragraph are adjusted for a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s stock split effective on February 24, 2025.

D. Boral Capital LLC (“D. Boral Capital”) acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company paid D. Boral Capital a cash fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds from the offering, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds, and reimbursement for legal and out-of-pocket expenses up to $75,000.

NOTE 2 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial information. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or any other interim periods or for any other future years. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed on March 31, 2025.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than 50% of the voting common stock and controls operations. All intercompany transactions and balances among consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.

The following chart describes the Company’s ownership of various subsidiaries:

The Company mainly focuses on the F&B business. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, substantially all of the Company’s business was generated by F&B business. F&B business was generated by the following subsidiaries at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively:37% and 40% from Alset F&B One Pte. Ltd (“F&B1”),11% and 4% from Hapi Café Korea Inc. (“HCKI”),21% and 19% from Hapi Café SG Pte. Ltd. (“HCSGPL”),0% and 17% from Alset F&B (PLQ) Pte. Ltd. (“F&BPLQ”) and 31% and 20% from Ketomei Pte. Ltd. (“KPL”). F&B1 was incorporated in Singapore on April 10, 2017, HCSGPL was incorporated in Singapore on April 4, 2022, F&BPLQ was incorporated in Singapore on November 11, 2022 and KPL was incorporated in Singapore on September 17, 2019. F&B1, HCSGPL, F&BPLQ and KPL are in the F&B business in Singapore. In the second quarter of 2024 the Company ceased operations of its subsidiary Alset F&B (PLQ) Pte. Ltd. Due to the closure of this subsidiary the Company wrote off $5,882 of fixed assets, which was included in general and administrative expenses, and recorded a gain on termination of lease of $248 during 2024.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Functional and Reporting Currency

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“$”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia are maintained in their local currencies, the Korean Won (₩), Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) and Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), which are also the functional currencies of these entities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s 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 balance sheet.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the balance sheet, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $4,176,546 and $4,341,746 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company hadno cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions

For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying values reported in balance sheets for current assets and liabilities approximate their estimated fair market values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Investment Securities at Cost

Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment adjusted by observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investments of the same issuer. These investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect. An impairment loss is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the investment.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method and includes all costs in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is an estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, inventory consisted of finished goods procured from suppliers. The Company continuously evaluates the need for reserve for obsolescence and possible price concessions required to write-down inventory to its net realizable value.

Leases

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 842 in accounting for its operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of a consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and whether it has the right to control the use of the asset. The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases that contain related non-lease components, such as maintenance, the Company will account for these payments as a single lease component.

Right-of-use of Assets

The right-of-use of asset is measured at cost, which comprises the amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentive received.

Lease Liabilities

Lease liability is measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise mainly of fixed lease payments.

Short-term Leases and Leases of Low Value Assets

The Company has elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at inception and leases of low value assets. Lease payments associated with these leases are expensed as incurred.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset, or that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. When property and equipment is retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in statement of operations. Depreciation is computed by the reducing balance method (after considering their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Office Equipment3 – 5 years
Furniture and Fittings3 – 5 years
Kitchen Equipment3 – 5 years
Operating Equipment3 – 5 years
Leasehold ImprovementsShorter of lease life or asset life

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors.

Deposit

Deposit represents rental deposit paid for the office and the cafes used.

Revenue Recognition

ASC 606 –Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers.

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which the determination of revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires the Company to apply the following steps:

(1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company generates its revenue primarily from product sales and F&B business.

*Product Sales:*The Company’s performance obligation is to transfer ownership of its products to its customer. The Company generally recognizes revenue when product is delivered to its customers. Revenue is recorded net of applicable taxes, allowances, refunds or returns. The Company receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale.

If any customer returns a product to the Company on a timely basis, they may obtain a replacement product from the Company for such returned product. We do not have buyback program. However, when the customer requests a return and management decides that the refund is necessary, we initiate the refund after deducting all the benefits that a customer has earned. The returns are deducted from our sales revenue on our financial statements. Allowances for product returns are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This accrual is based upon historical return rates for each country and the relevant return pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to 12 months following the original sale. Product and returns for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were both $0.

Food and Beverage: The Company’s performance obligation is to transfer ownership of its F&B products to its customers. The Company generally recognizes revenue when F&B products are delivered to its customers. Revenue is recorded net of applicable taxes, allowances, refunds or returns. The Company receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale or from web-based ordering system. The revenue received from Food and Beverage business for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $295,197 and $286,110, respectively.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Below is a summary of the beginning and ending balances of the Company’s contract assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

March 31, 2025 · December 31, 2024
Deferred Revenue
Balances at the beginning of the period · $ · - · $ · -
Movement for the period14,872-

The deferred revenue is generated from KPL, which was the prepaid orders from customers for deliver after March 31, 2025.

Value-added Tax

The Company is obligated to pay value-added tax (“VAT”), among other things, on its inventory purchase as well as its rent payments and payment of professional fees. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, included in other receivables was VAT paid of $29,027 and $41,885, respectively, due primarily to the purchase of inventory and payment of rents and accounting fees.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists of the cost of procuring finished goods from suppliers and related shipping and handling fees from 3 rd party money platforms, and contractor fees for part-time staff.

Below is a breakdown of the Company’s cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

For the three months ended:

Total
Finished goods$109,006
Related shipping12,931
Handling fee11,566
Contractor fee8,254
Franchise commission3,350
Depreciation2,496
Total of Cost of revenue$147,603

Handling fee10,927
Contractor fee11,855
Franchise commission4,953
Sales commission(234)
Depreciation14,530
Total of Cost of revenue$122,813

Shipping and Handling Fees

The Company utilizes the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-25-18B to account for its shipping and handling as fulfillment activities, and not a promised service (a revenue element). Shipping and handling fees are included in costs of revenue within the statements of operations.

Advertising Expenses

Costs incurred for advertising the Company’s products are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $68,845 and $2,242, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, assets and liabilities approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The assets and liabilities approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

The Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes in income tax expense.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for treasury shares held by the Company.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for treasury shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible securities, such as stock options, convertible bonds and warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 there were 909,874 potentially dilutive warrants outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 there were 909,874 potentially dilutive warrants outstanding.

For the periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) were the same, which because the impact of potentially dilutive securities is anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, means they do not reduce the loss per share.

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and are presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss, and within equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company.

On March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate non-controlling interests in the Company were $101,194 and $111,835, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred a net loss, a loss from operations and negative cash flow from operations as we expanded our business of operating cafés during the period. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Notwithstanding the above, the Company believes that the available cash in the Company’s bank accounts, anticipated cash from operations, and financing availability from related parties are sufficient to alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months. The Company’s capital requirements for the planned expansion are based on, among other items, location-specific property costs, team requirements, and marketing steps needed. Our expansion includes plans to take over leases of existing Hapi Cafes that we currently do not own, with a goal to add additional Hapi Cafes over the next two years. Executing these plans will require a minimum investment for each Hapi Café location. There is no guarantee, however, that we will be able to achieve these plans as described.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not contain any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Alset Inc., a Texas corporation and the Company’s indirect, majority stockholder, pursuant to which Alset Inc. has provided the Company a non-revolving line of credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which provides a maximum, aggregate credit line of up to $1,000,000. During 2024, $300,000 was drawn from the loan, which was converted to equity on September 24, 2024. The remaining credit of $700,000 is available for draw as on March 31, 2025.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may request an advance (each, an “Advance”) on the Credit Facility. Each Advance shall bear a simple interest rate of three percent (3%) per annum. Each Advance and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the first (1 st) anniversary of the effective date of the Credit Agreement. The Company may at any time during the term of the Credit Agreement prepay a portion or all amounts of its indebtedness without penalty. Each advance shall not be secured by a lien or other encumbrance on any of the Company’s assets, but shall be solely a general unsecured debt obligation of the Company.

The Company has obtained letters of financial support from Alset Inc., a direct majority owner of the Company, respectively. Alset Inc. committed to provide any additional funding required by the Company and would not demand repayment through twelve months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting pronouncements pending adoption

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), expanding the disclosures requirement for income taxes primarily by requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and adoption of ASU 2023-09 can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard.

On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03,Expense Disaggregation Disclosures(“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 amends ASC 220,Comprehensive Income to expand income statement expense disclosures and require disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is required to be adopted for fiscal years commencing after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment Reporting

The Company reports its segment information to reflect the manner in which the CODM reviews and assesses performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Operating Officer have joint responsibility as the CODM and review and assess the performance of the Company as a whole.

The primary financial measures used by the CODM to evaluate performance and allocate resources are net income (loss) and operating income (loss). The CODM uses net income (loss) and operating income (loss) to evaluate the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and as part of the Company’s internal planning and forecasting processes. Information on Net income (loss) and Operating income (loss) is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Segment expenses and other segment items are provided to the CODM on the same basis as disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The CODM does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment assets, and therefore such information is not presented in the notes to the financial statements.

NOTE 3 —ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

Accounts receivable, net at March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 of $35,106, $17,546, $29,156 and $28,611, respectively, represent collection received by the credit card processor in F&B business and rent receivable. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts net of an allowance for credit losses and do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The measurement and recognition of credit losses involves the use of judgment. Management’s assessment of expected credit losses includes consideration of current and expected economic conditions, market and industry factors affecting the Company’s customers (including their financial condition), the aging of account balances, historical credit loss experience, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, and the existence of sources of payment. The Company also establishes an allowance for credit losses for specific receivables when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Accounts receivable considered uncollectible are charged against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses was an immaterial amount. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

NOTE 4 —INVENTORY

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of finished goods was $2,585 and $1,574, respectively. There isno provision for slow-moving or obsolete inventory during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

NOTE 6 —INVESTMENTS AT COST

Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment adjusted by observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

The principal amount of the promissory note and any accrued interest shall mature (i) partially in the event HWH completes an offering within one year of the date of the promissory note, the amount of outstanding debt maturing being proportionate to the amount of proceeds of the future offering, or (ii) in partial installments through October of 2028, the outstanding balance being paid annually until the balance owed is paid in full.

Total Investment in securities at Fair Value$-$757,924$-$757,924

The fair value of the SHRG warrants under level 2 category as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were calculated using a binomial option pricing model valued with the following weighted average assumptions:

March 31, 2025December 31, 2024

The Company has elected to recognize the convertible loan at fair value and therefore there was no further evaluation of embedded features for bifurcation. The Company engaged third party valuation firm to perform the valuation of convertible loans. The fair value of the convertible loans is calculated using the binomial tree model based on probability of remaining as straight debt using discounted cash flow with the following assumptions:

Changes in the observable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 2 financial instruments. A significant increase (decrease) in this likelihood would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Warrants— Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available.

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Share of Class A Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $90.00 — Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

●in whole and not in part;
●at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering except the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) were not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.

The Company has also utilized the following practical expedients:

●Short-term leases – for leases that are for a period of 12 months or less, the Company will not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842.
