(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 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 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

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 nine 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, 2021, 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, 2022 and for the three 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:
|

Current JPY: US$1 exchange rate |

Average JPY: US$1 exchange rate |

106.67 |
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 other 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 sold is recognized at a point
in time when the cameras are delivered to the customer. There are two types of service revenue. Revenue for advertising service is recognized
over time when the services are provided to the customers. Revenue for photo session service is recognized at a point of time when service
is provided to the customers at the photo session.
Deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is
received from a customer prior to the goods or services were delivered. As of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, the Company's deferred
revenue was $0 and $2,110, respectively. During the six months ended May 31, 2022 the Company recognized all of deferred revenue in the
opening balance.

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 recurring net losses. 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.
