REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholder and Board of Directors
123 Investments Limited
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 123 Investments Limited (the "Company") as of January 28, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of January 28, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include-9 examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2025.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2.1 Basis of Presentation
We have prepared consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These financial statements have been consolidated as these entities were under common control, and include the operating results and financial condition of 123 Investments Limited, its wholly-owned subsidiaries; Moda Concessions Limited, Direct Footwear Limited, MIP Trading 1975 Limited, MIP Stores 1975 Limited, MIP Online 1975 Limited and MIP Employees 1975 Limited. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated for consolidation purposes.
2.2 Foreign Currency Translation
The Consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated from their functional currency (GBP) into U.S. dollars, the Company’s reporting currency. All foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated at the period-end exchange rate, and all revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. The effects of translating the Consolidated financial statements of the company into U.S. dollars are reported as a cumulative translation adjustment, a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains/losses are reported as a component of other non-operating income, net, in the consolidated statement of operations. The US$/GBP exchange rates used for the translation of GBP denominated assets and liabilities are USD1.2399 and USD 1.2713 as on January 28, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
| 9 |
2.3 Revenue Recognition
Revenue comprises revenue recognized by the company in respect of goods supplied, exclusive of Value Added Tаx.
Revenue is accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods.
A five-step approach is applied in the recognition of revenue under ASC 606: (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 the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation.
Revenue is derived from four primary sources: (1) Retail sale of footwear in specialized stores, (2) Wholesale of clothing and footwear, (3) Sales on the QVC television and internet shopping channel, and (4) concessions located inside various departmental stores.
All the revenue arrangements are based on contracts with customers. Individual performance obligations are accounted for separately if they are distinct within the context of the contract.
Payment of invoices is due as specified in the underlying customer agreement. Payments range from advance payments to 30 days from the invoice date. The Company’s revenue arrangements generally do not include a general right of refund for services provided.
Amounts received in advance from customers are recognized as deferred income until the related goods are delivered.
The Company is acting as a principle.
2.4 Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations under the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires business combinations under the common control method. Under the common control method, we recognize the business combination by combining the historical carrying amounts of the assets, liabilities, and equity of the combining entities. The financial statements reflect the assumption that the combining entities have been operating as a single economic entity throughout the period of common control. No fair value adjustments are made to the carrying amounts of the combining entities’ assets, liabilities, and equity, as the transaction is considered a transfer of ownership interests between entities under common control. Acquisition related expenses are recognized separately from the business combinations and are expensed as incurred.
The Plan and Agreement of Reorganization has been disclosed in note 1.
2.5 Income Taxes
Income tax expense includes U.K. income taxes, and interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of its assets and liabilities. The Company establishes valuation allowances if it believes that it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company does not recognize a tax benefit unless it concludes that it is more- likely-than-not that the benefit will be sustained on audit by the taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. If the recognition threshold is met, the Company recognizes a tax benefit measured at the largest.
| 10 |
2.6 Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The Company follows a fair value measurement hierarchy to measure financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. the Black-Scholes model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.
Other current financial assets include cash and cash equivalent, accounts receivable, due from a related party, prepayment and Inventories whereas the current financial liabilities include trade and other payables, short-term borrowing, due to a related party and provision for taxation have fair values that approximate their carrying values.
2.7 Inventories
Inventories are stated at average cost, subject to the lower of cost or net realizable value.
2.8 Accounts Receivable
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, the Company estimates and records an expected lifetime credit loss on accounts receivable by utilizing credit ratings and other customer-related information, as well as historical loss experience. The allowance for expected credit losses is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
2.9 Prepayments
Prepayments represent expenditures paid in advance for goods or services to be received in future periods. These are initially recorded as assets and subsequently expensed over the period to which they relate, in accordance with the matching principle. Prepayments are classified as current assets unless the underlying benefit extends beyond one year, in which case they are classified as non-current. Common prepayments include insurance, rent, and service contracts.
2.10 Related Party Transactions and Balances
Transactions with related parties are carried out at arm’s length and in the normal course of business. Balances with related parties are stated at cost and are settled in accordance with the agreed terms. Related party transactions and balances have been disclosed in note 22 to the financial statements...
2.11 Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment classified as property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment loss. Additions are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment loss. Cost in relation to self-constructed assets includes direct cost of material, labor and other allocable expenses.
Depreciation on owned assets is charged to the statement of operations on straight line method so as to write off the cost or revalued amount of an asset over its estimated useful life.
| 11 |
Depreciation on additions is charged from the month in which the assets are available for use while no depreciation is charged in the month in which the assets are disposed off. Depreciation method, residual value and useful lives of assets are reviewed at least at each financial year end and adjusted if impact on depreciation is significant.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
The gain or loss on disposal of an asset represented by the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized as an income or expense under "Other expenses" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
2.12 Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are initially recognized at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses, if any. The Company recognizes intangible assets only if they are identifiable, the Company has control over the asset, and it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Company.
Intangible assets include brand name and software.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, reflecting the pattern in which the asset’s economic benefits are consumed. The estimated useful lives of these assets are reviewed periodically, and adjustments are made as necessary when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the useful life or residual value has changed.
Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Intangible assets are derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from their use. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations in the period of derecognition.
2.13 Short-Term Financing
Short-term financing consists of borrowings and credit facilities that are due within twelve months from the reporting date. These liabilities are initially recognized at the amount of proceeds received and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Interest and other borrowing costs are recognized in the income statement over the term of the facility using the effective interest method. The Company discloses the terms, interest rates, maturities, and any covenants associated with such arrangements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
2.14 Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to: (1) impairment of long-lived assets, (2) depreciable lives of assets and (3) allowance for credit losses. Actual results could significantly differ from those estimates.
2.15 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently adopted and recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
| 12 |
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU2023-9), which enhances the disclosures required for income taxes in annual financial statements. ASU2023-09 is effective for us for the year ending 2026 on a prospective basis. Both early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2023-09 on our financial statements.

The loan was given to Footwear Software Ltd, a related company, However, the financial condition of Footwear Software Ltd deteriorated significantly, and the company faced liquidity and solvency challenges. As a result, it became evident that the outstanding loan amount was not recoverable. Accordingly, in line with prudent accounting practice, the entire loan balance was written off during the year and charged to the statement of profit or loss.
Loss on disposal of a subsidiary relates to disposal of 123 Retail Limited during the year. The subsidiary was sold to Mr. Stephen Andrew Buck, the Chief Executive Officer of 123 Investment Limited. The subsidiary had net assets amounting to ($ 283,374) and the company incurred a cash outflow of $319,080 at the time of disposal. There was no strategic shift due to disposal of the subsidiary as the Group continues with the same line of business.
