PROTOPIA GLOBAL HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD FROM AUGUST 18, 2022 (INCEPTION) TO MARCH 31,THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Protopia Global Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on August 18, 2022 with the authorized capital of500 million shares of ordinary shares, par value of $0.00001 per share.

On August 26, 2022, Protopia International Company Limited (“Protopia HK”), was incorporated in Hong Kong as the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and its principal activities are to assist small- and medium-sized non-U.S. businesses in accessing international capital markets through listings on nationally recognized stock exchanges such as the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Capital Market, NYSE American or the OTC Markets Group (OTCQX, OTCQB and Pink).

The fiscal year end of the Company is June 30.

2. GOING CONCERN

As of March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company had $US$9,4671,357 of cash all of which will be used to pay the unpaid amount of the estimate costs of the Company’s Proposed Public Offering discussed in Note 4. If the Company fails to raise sufficient capital in this offering, it will have to explore other financing activities to provide it with the liquidity and capital resources it needs to meet its working capital requirements and to make capital investments in connection with ongoing operations. Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it will be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. Since the Company cannot give assurance that it will be able to secure the necessary capital when needed, there is a substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue operations as a going concern following the issuance of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from its inability to consummate the Proposed Public Offering or its inability to continue as a going concern.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in United State dollars (“US$” or “$”) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted accounting principlesin the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rulesinstructions to Form 10-Q and regulationsRegulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Commission. Certain information and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In ourfootnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 and for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and from August 18, 2022 (inception) to September 30, 2022, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, (consistingconsisting only of normal recurring adjustments) consideredadjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operatingof the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and from August 18, 2022 (inception) to March 31, 2023September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that mayto be expected for theany other interim period from August 18, 2022 (inception) to September 30, 2022. Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statementsor for the period from August 18, 2022 (inception) to September 30, 2022 have been omitted. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the period from August 18, 2022 (inception) to September 30, 2022 included in the Company’s Form S-1/A as filed with the SEC.entire year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and Protopia HK. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated on consolidation.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (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 auditor 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 shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

6


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 optout 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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.

Use of estimates and assumptions

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, 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.

Foreign currency translation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are reported in United States dollars (“$US$”), the Company’s presentation currency. The functional currency for the Company is US$ and the Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong is Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”). The translation of the functional currencies of its subsidiary into U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date and for revenues and expense accounts using a monthly average exchange rate prevailing during the respective period. The gains or losses resulting from such translation are reported as currency translation adjustments under other comprehensive income (loss) under accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss as a separate component of equity.

Monetary assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiary denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company and subsidiary are translated into their respective functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing on the balance sheet date.

Transactions of the Company and its subsidiary in currencies other than the Company’s and the subsidiary’s functional currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies at the average monthly exchange rate prevailing during the period of the transaction. The gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive income.loss.

The exchange rates used to translate amounts in HK$ into US$ for the purposes of preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were as follows:

Financial instruments and concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of a cash account placed in a financial institution, through an escrow agent, with high investment grade ratings. As of March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

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 $US$9,4671,357 in cash and no cash equivalents as of March 31,September 30, 2023. The Company’s cash is held at well capitalized financial institutions, but they are not FDIC insured; however, managementinstitutions. Management does not believe there is a significant risk of loss.

Deferred offering costs

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A - “Expenses of Offering”. Pursuant to ASC 340-10-S99-1, IPO costs directly attributable to an offering of equity securities are deferred and would be charged against the gross proceeds of the offering as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Deferred offering costs consist of professional and registration fees that are directly related to the Proposed Public Offering. Should the in-process equity financing be abandoned, the deferred offering costs will be expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. loss. As of March 31,September 30, 2023 and SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the Company has incurred deferred offering costs of $109,801129,301 and $98,560, respectively..

Accrued expenses

Accrued expenses primarily include accrued professional fees.

Revenue and expense recognition

Plan of Operations

Over the course of the 12 months following our Public Offering pursuant to the S-1 Registration Statement, we plan to spend a substantial portion of our effort in the promotion of our services to potential clients. We intend to utilize the business network of shareholders, officers, directors and employees to identify potential opportunities.

Our Board of Directors has adopted a policy to pay a referral fee to our shareholders, officers, directors, and employees in the event that we have successfully completed an assignment as either a joint project manager or a sole project manager as a result of receiving a referral from any of these parties. The amount of the referral fee payable by us to any of these parties is determined on a negotiated basis and is in line with that payable to independent consultants, which has a maximum of 15% on our project management fee including both the cash component and stock compensation, if any. If we receive a direct referral from an independent consultant, we either serve the client together as joint project managers, if responsibilities are shared between us, or we act as the sole project manager, if the referring consultant is not involved in the provision of services. The referral fee for each individual project is determined by negotiation and is only payable after the referred assignment is successfully completed. Our directors review these charges periodically and adjust them to enhance our competitiveness under prevailing market conditions. The payment of successful-basis referral fees to our shareholders, officers, directors and employees is designed to serve as an incentive for them to develop our business with a collective effort.

 

Our estimated costs for the next 12 months will be $500,000.$400,000. If we fail to raise sufficient capital in the Public Offering, we will have to explore other financing activities to provide us with the liquidity and capital resources we need to meet our working capital requirements and to make capital investments in connection with ongoing operations. We cannot give assurance that we are able to secure needed capital to support our day-to-day operations. If we do not have sufficient capital to support our day-to-day operations, our shareholders may lose their entire investment in us.

Going Concern Uncertainties

As discussed in the notes to financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, as of March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company had $9,467$1,357 of cash all of which will be used to pay the unpaid amount of the estimated costs of the Company’s Public Offering. If the Company fails to raise sufficient capital in the Public Offering, it will have to explore other financing activities to provide it with the liquidity and capital resources it needs to meet its working capital requirements and to make capital investments in connection with ongoing operations. The Company cannot give assurance that it will be able to secure the necessary capital when needed. Consequently, the Company raises substantial doubt that it will be able to continue operations as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its generating cash flow sufficient to fund operations and reducing operating expenses. The Company’s business plans may not be successful in addressing the cash flow issues. If the Company cannot continue as a going concern, its shareholders may lose their entire investment in the Company.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.


Critical Accounting Estimates

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the financial statements. The estimates are based on historical experience and assumptions believed to be reasonable under current facts and circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ from these estimates made by management. Certain accounting policies that require significant management estimates and are deemed critical to our results of operations or financial position. Our critical accounting estimates are more fully discussed in Note 3 to our unaudited financial statements contained herein.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our presidentprincipal executive officer (our President) and our principal financial officer (our Chief Financial Officer), who isare directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company, as of September 30, 2022,2023, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.amended (the “Securities Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer hashave concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31,September 30, 2023 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Act Commission’sSEC’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including our Chief Financial Officer,principal executive officer and principal financial officer, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data. As of March 31,September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were determined to be effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
