GlobalTech Corporation (the “Company”, “we” and “us”) previously filed Current Reports on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 2, 2025 (the “Initial Form 8-K”) and December 18, 2025 (the “Closing Form 8-K”), disclosing (a) the entry on November 25, 2025, into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), with 123 Investments Limited, a private company registered under the laws of England and Wales (“123 Investments”), and Stephen Buck and John Patrick Bywater, the shareholders of 123 Investments (the “Shareholders”), and (b) the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement on December 15, 2025 (the “Exchange”), respectively.

 

At the time of the filing of the Closing Form 8-K, the Company stated that it intended to file the required financial statements and pro forma financial information associated with the Exchange within 71 days from the date that such Closing Form 8-K was required to be filed. By this Amendment No. 1 to the Closing Form 8-K, the Company is amending and restating Item 9.01 thereof to include the required financial statements and pro forma financial information, which are filed as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Except for this Explanatory Note, the filing of the financial statements and the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of 123 Investments, included in the exhibits hereto, there are no changes to the Closing Form 8-K.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits. 

 

(a)

Financial Statements of Business Acquired.

 

(i) 123 Investment’s audited financial statements, comprising the consolidated balance sheets as of January 28, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements, are filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

(ii) Also included herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference is the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of 123 Investments for the nine months ended October 28, 2025 and October 28, 2024, and the years ended January 28, 2025 and 2024, which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

(iii) 123 Investments unaudited financial statements, comprising the consolidated balance sheets as of October 28, 2025 and January 28, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the nine months ended October 28, 2025 and January 28, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, are filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

(b)

Pro forma financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01, as well as the accompanying notes thereto, are filed as Exhibit 99.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A and are incorporated herein by reference. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and adjusts such information to give effect of the Exchange Agreement.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet data as of October 28, 2025, gives effect to the Exchange as if it had occurred on January 29, 2025. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve-month period ended January 28, 2025, gives pro forma effect to the Exchange as if it had occurred on January 29, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended October 28, 2025, gives pro forma effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 29, 2025.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and unaudited combined statements of operations are presented for informational purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the combined financial condition that would have resulted if the Exchange had occurred on January 29, 2024 or January 29, 2025. Also, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined entity’s results of operations would have been had the transactions been completed as of the date indicated.

EXHIBIT 99.1

 

 

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.

Critical Audit Matter

 

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (I) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements, and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

 

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.

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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)

 

Overview

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) provides a comprehensive narrative of the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources, and strategic outlook of 123 Investments Limited (the “Company” or the “Group”) as of October 28, 2025 and January 28, 2025, and for the years ended January 28, 2025 (FY2025) and 2024 (FY2024), and the nine months ended October 28, 2025 and 2024. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes. The Group operates through multiple wholly-owned subsidiaries encompassing concessions, wholesale, retail stores, e-commerce, and trading activities. The Company’s strategy combines a strong physical retail presence with a growing digital and third‑party sales footprint.

 

Business Overview and Structure

 

123 Investments Limited is a UK‑incorporated holding company that owns and operates the Moda in Pelle group of businesses, a premium women’s footwear and accessories brand established in 1975. The Group has evolved over nearly five decades from a single-store retailer into a multi‑channel, brand‑led footwear business, with a strong physical retail footprint, a mature e‑commerce platform, and established wholesale and third‑party distribution partnerships.

 

 
2

 

 

The Group’s strategy is to balance brand‑led physical retail with scalable digital and partner‑led channels, while maintaining pricing discipline and operational control across its portfolio.

 

Brand Journey and Evolution

 

Moda in Pelle was founded in Leeds, the United Kingdom (UK), by Stephen Buck, with a brand ethos rooted in combining British design sensibility with Italian craftsmanship. From its inception, the brand positioned itself in the mid‑to‑premium segment, emphasizing quality leather, contemporary styling, and durability. Over time, Moda in Pelle has developed strong customer loyalty and brand recognition in the UK market, underpinned by repeat purchasing behavior and a growing customer database.

 

 

·

Building on the core Moda in Pelle brand, the Group has developed a multi‑brand portfolio to address differentiated customer segments: - (i) Moda in Pelle – The flagship brand, targeting women aged approximately 30–55 with mid‑to‑high disposable income, offering premium footwear and accessories with an average annual customer spend of approximately £85. (ii) Shoon – A more classic and comfort‑focused range designed primarily for women aged 40–55 with mid‑to‑higher income levels, emphasizing timeless design and wearability. (iii) M by Moda – Launched in 2018, targeting a younger demographic (approximately 25–35 years) with mid‑range income, offering trend‑led products at more accessible price points, with an average annual customer spend of approximately £50. (iv) French Dressing – Effortless elegance for the discerning woman. Timeless design with a confident, modern edge. French Dressing pieces are created for women who value quality, sophistication, and style that are designed to work seamlessly from day to evening. (v) Bsoleful – Fashion-forward footwear designed for sustainability. (vi) Emma Somerset – A contemporary fashion brand acquired in 2008, with a history that extends over 60 years. (vii) Moda Footwear – Contemporary footwear, designed to be worn and remembered.

 

This portfolio approach enables the Group to expand addressable market size while preserving clear brand positioning and margin governance.

 

Operating Structure and Subsidiaries

 

The Group operates through several wholly-owned subsidiaries, each aligned to a specific operational or distribution function, including (i) Department store concessions and partner retail operations; (ii) Wholesale distribution, including televised and online partners such as QVC and Frasers; (iii) E‑commerce operations through the Group’s proprietary online platform and third‑party marketplaces; and (iv) Trading and store‑operating entities supporting inventory ownership and physical retail execution.

 

Historically, the Group operated a larger portfolio of physical retail stores. Following post‑pandemic restructuring, management intentionally streamlined the store footprint to reduce fixed‑cost exposure and balance‑sheet risk.  As of October 28, 2025, sales are broadly split between physical retail (approximately 50%) and online channels (approximately 50%), reflecting a deliberate omnichannel strategy.

 

 
3

 

 

Technology and Systems

 

A distinguishing feature of the Group is its long‑standing investment in proprietary retail technology. Moda in Pelle has developed a bespoke Integrated Retail Operating System (“Retail Assistant”), refined over decades of in‑house development. This system supports core retail functions including inventory management, buying, merchandising, sales reporting, and customer data analytics. The platform reflects deep operational knowledge of footwear retail and is designed to promote a scalable foundation for future digital enhancement, including potential AI‑driven capabilities.

 

Management believes Retail Assistant provides measurable operational advantages to the Group, including improved inventory allocation, reduced markdown exposure, and enhanced visibility of channel‑level profitability. Continued enhancement of the platform is expected to drive operating leverage and margin resilience as scale increases.

 

Operating Environment

 

The Group operates within the UK mid‑to‑premium footwear and accessories market, a segment characterized by high competition, rapidly shifting consumer preferences, and sensitivity to macroeconomic conditions. The competitive landscape includes established domestic and international brands such as Clarks, Dune London, Russell & Bromley, LK Bennett, ALDO, and selected fast‑fashion and premium lifestyle brands.

 

Management believes that e‑commerce penetration has become structurally embedded in consumer behavior, increasing the importance of digital capability as a core requirement rather than a supplementary channel.

 

Market Dynamics

 

The UK footwear market has demonstrated resilience following the COVID‑19 pandemic, with consumers returning to discretionary spending on lifestyle products. However, growth has become more selective and promotion‑driven, with customers increasingly value‑conscious. E‑commerce penetration has accelerated structurally, making digital capability a critical success factor rather than a supplementary channel.

 

At the same time, the sector faces ongoing pressures from (i) Inflationary cost increases - particularly in wages, logistics, energy, and occupancy costs; (ii) Supply‑chain volatility -  driven by global sourcing dependencies and geopolitical factors; and (iii) Promotional intensity, as brands compete for market share in a crowded retail environment.

 

 
4

 

 

Channel Shift and Consumer Behavior

 

Consumer behavior has continued to shift toward online and omnichannel purchasing, with customers expecting seamless integration between physical stores, online platforms, and third‑party marketplaces. The Group’s balanced channel mix was created to help position the Group to capture demand across touchpoints, while reducing reliance on any single channel.

 

Management believes that third‑party online partners and wholesale channels provide scalable growth opportunities; however, these channels typically operate at lower margins and reduced brand control. Management’s strategy therefore focuses on optimizing channel mix, improving inventory allocation, and protecting brand positioning while seeking to leverage the reach of external partners.

 

Macroeconomic and Regulatory Factors

 

The Group’s performance is influenced by broader macroeconomic conditions, including consumer confidence, disposable income levels, interest rates, and exchange‑rate movements affecting sourcing costs. In addition, the UK retail sector continues to face regulatory and compliance obligations related to employment, data protection, and taxation, including the normalization of deferred value-added-tax (VAT) and tax liabilities following pandemic‑related relief measures.

 

Technology and Competitive Advantage

 

Digital capability and data‑driven decision‑making are increasingly critical competitive differentiators in the footwear sector. Moda in Pelle’s long‑term investment in proprietary retail systems provides operational insight and flexibility that many peers rely on third‑party platforms to achieve. Continued enhancement of these systems is expected to support improved demand forecasting, inventory efficiency, and customer engagement in a challenging and evolving retail environment.

Revenue Performance

 

Net sales for the nine months ended October 28, 2025, were approximately $24.6 million, compared to $26.2 million in the prior-year period, representing a decline of $1.5 million, or 5.9%. The decline in net sales reflects a combination of macroeconomic pressure on discretionary consumer spending and intentional commercial actions taken by management. During the period, the Company experienced: (i) reduced consumer demand in certain discretionary retail categories; (ii) increased promotional intensity across the sector, which impacted volume and pricing; and (iii) strategic streamlining of selected lower-margin or underperforming sales channels.

 

Management believes that while these factors negatively impacted short-term revenue, they contributed to improved cost discipline and margin quality. The Company did not pursue volume growth at the expense of profitability during the period, reflecting a deliberate focus on operational stabilization rather than top-line expansion.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Direct operating costs (Cost of Sales) decreased modestly to $14.3 million during the nine months ended October 28, 2025 from $14.5 million during the nine months ended October 28, 2024, a reduction of $0.2 million, or 1.4%. Although net sales declined by 5.9%, direct operating costs declined at a lower rate, reflecting the presence of semi-fixed cost components within sourcing, fulfillment, and store operations.

 

 
6

 

 

Management partially mitigated this effect through: (i) Improved procurement discipline; (ii) Better alignment of inventory levels with demand; and (iii) Operational efficiencies in logistics and fulfillment. Management expects direct operating costs to remain sensitive to sales volume but believes additional efficiency opportunities remain as scale and forecasting accuracy improve.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit for the nine months ended October 28, 2025 was $10.3 million, compared to $11.7 million for the corresponding period in 2024, representing a decrease of approximately $1.3 million, or 11.4%. Gross margin declined to 41.9% in 2025 from 44.8% in 2024.

 

The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by lower net sales, which declined by $1.3 million, or 11.4%, reflecting continued pressure on discretionary consumer spending and the impact of deliberate actions taken by management to rationalize lower-margin or underperforming sales channels. Cost of sales declined by $0.2 million, or 1.4%, but at a slower rate than the decline in revenue, resulting in margin compression during the period.

 

Management believes the reduction in gross margin reflects a combination of sales deleveraging, continued promotional activity in the retail environment, and channel mix effects, partially offset by sourcing and procurement discipline. While gross profit declined year-over-year, management views the performance as broadly consistent with revenue trends and believes ongoing initiatives in inventory management and pricing discipline are expected to support margin stabilization over time.

 

Administrative Expenses

 

Other operating costs declined to approximately $10.4 million for the nine months ended October 28, 2025 from approximately $12.1 million for the comparable period in 2024, representing a reduction of $1.6 million, or 13.57%. This reduction reflects a combination of structural cost realignment initiatives and ongoing operating discipline, rather than a reliance on short-term or non-recurring expense deferrals. During the period, management undertook a comprehensive review of discretionary and semi-fixed operating expenses, with a focus on aligning the cost base more closely with current revenue levels and operating scale. Key drivers included: (i) Reductions in discretionary spending across administrative and retail support functions; (ii) Streamlining of store-level and overhead cost structures; and (iii) Continued benefits from organizational and operational restructuring initiatives.

 

Management expects operating expenses to remain elevated in the near term as the Company continues to invest in infrastructure, digital capabilities, and brand development. Over the medium term, management believes that improved scale and technology-enabled efficiencies could moderate expense growth relative to revenue.

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $0.47 million for the nine months ended October 28, 2025 from $0.24 million for the comparable 2024 period, an increase of $0.23 million, or 98.8%. The increase reflects the Company’s continued investment in Technology platforms and systems; and Infrastructure assets placed into service during the period, which were subsequently subject to depreciation.

 

Management considers these investments necessary to support long-term operational efficiency, improved data visibility, and scalability. While these investments increase non-cash expenses in the near term, management believes they are aligned with the Company’s strategic priorities.

 

Operating Income (Loss)

 

Operating loss improved materially to $(0.59) million for the nine months ended October 28, 2025 compared to $(1.01) million for the nine months ended October 28, 2024, representing an improvement of $0.41 million, or 41.03%. This improvement was driven primarily by significant reductions in other operating costs; and improved operating discipline across the business, as discussed above.

 

Importantly, the improvement occurred despite lower net sales and higher depreciation, which management believes represents a meaningful improvement in the underlying operating efficiency of the business.

 

Finance Cost

 

Finance costs increased to $0.967 million for the nine months ended October 28, 2025, compared to approximately $0.7 million for the comparable period in 2024, representing an increase of $0.26 million, or 37.2%. The increase in finance costs was driven primarily by a combination of higher average borrowing levels and increased interest rates on variable-rate debt facilities. During the period, the Company relied more heavily on short-term financing arrangements to support working capital requirements, particularly inventory purchases and seasonal operating needs.

 

Finance costs represent a material component of the Company’s overall cost structure and continue to constrain net income. While such costs are necessary to support ongoing operations, management recognizes that sustained reliance on short-term financing exposes the Company to interest rate volatility and liquidity risk. Management has identified working capital optimization and balance sheet strengthening as key priorities to mitigate finance costs over time. Initiatives under evaluation or implementation include:

 

 

·

Improved inventory turnover and demand forecasting to reduce average borrowing requirements;

 

·

Tighter credit management and collections discipline;

 

·

Evaluation of alternative financing structures with more favorable terms; and

 

·

Potential refinancing or restructuring of existing debt to reduce exposure to variable interest rates, where feasible.

Loss Before Income Taxes

 

Loss before income taxes improved to $(1.55) million for the nine months ended October 28, 2025, compared to approximately $(1.61) million for the comparable period in 2024, representing an improvement of approximately $0.06 million, or 3.9%. The improvement in loss before income taxes primarily reflects progress in core operating performance, driven by significant reductions in other operating costs and improved operating discipline across the business, which improvements more than offset the impact of lower net sales and higher non-cash depreciation and amortization expense, each as discussed in greater detail above.

 

The improvement was partially offset by higher finance costs, reflecting increased borrowing levels and higher interest rates; and lower non-operating income, as the prior-year period included non-recurring items that did not recur in 2025.

 

Management believes that the improvement in income before income taxes reflects a higher quality of earnings relative to the prior-year period, as it was achieved primarily through operating cost realignment, rather than reliance on non-recurring or non-operating income. While the Company continues to report a pre-tax loss, management views the trend as indicative of progress toward stabilizing operating performance.

Revenue Performance

 

For the year ended January 28, 2025, the Group generated consolidated revenue of $36.83 million (FY2024: $33.39 million), reflecting recovery from the pandemic‑impacted period and continued growth in online and third‑party channels. Revenue increased 10.3% year-over-year in FY2025, reflecting continued growth in e-commerce and wholesale channels and improved product availability. This growth occurred in a UK discretionary retail environment characterized by selective consumer spending and heightened promotional activity. Management believes that revenue growth was primarily driven by channel expansion and improved execution rather than overall market growth.

 

Over the five‑year period to 2025, revenue has demonstrated resilience, with a temporary contraction during FY2021 followed by recovery driven primarily by (i) Growth in e‑commerce sales, which accounted for approximately 50% of total sales in FY2025; (ii) Expansion of third‑party online and wholesale partnerships; and (iii) Improved performance of concession and wholesale channels following restructuring after the collapse of certain department store partners.

 

Management expects that future revenue performance will continue to be influenced by (i) consumer confidence and discretionary spending trends, (ii) competitive pricing behavior in the footwear sector, and (iii) the Company’s ability to improve conversion and availability across channels. While demand trends remain volatile, management believes the Company’s diversified channel mix partially mitigates reliance on any single demand source.

 

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin

 

Cost of sales comprises product costs which were $17.3 million for FY2025, compared to $15.9 million for FY2024, an increase of $1.4 million or 9.0% from the prior period, mainly due to higher sales volumes, resulting in increased product sourcing, fulfillment, and store-level variable costs including direct labor costs which were $2.02 million for FY2025, compared to $1.68 million for FY2024. The concession commissions which were $3.1 million and $2.3 million, for FY2025 and FY2024, respectively, increased in absolute terms in line with higher sales volumes through department store and partner channels.  

 

Gross profit and gross margins improved over the period, reaching $19.5 million and 53% in FY2025, compared to $17.5 million and 52.6% in FY2024, respectively, driven by an improved channel mix and pricing discipline. Gross profit increased broadly in line with revenue, while gross margin remained relatively stable year-over-year. This stability occurred despite ongoing promotional intensity within the footwear and broader apparel markets. Management believes this reflects effective pricing discipline, brand positioning in the mid-to-premium segment, and sourcing controls.

 

 
10

 

 

However, management notes that sustained discounting across the footwear and broader apparel sector continues to present a risk to gross margin, as prolonged promotional activity can lead to increased markdowns, reduced average selling prices, and margin compression, particularly in periods of elevated inventory levels or weaker consumer demand. Future margin performance will depend on the Company’s ability to manage inventory levels, reduce markdown exposure, and optimize channel mix. Planned improvements include optimizing channel mix, balancing higher-margin direct-to-consumer and owned-store sales against lower-margin wholesale or promotional channels, while seeking to maintain sufficient scale and customer reach. Shifts in channel mix, if not carefully managed, may adversely affect gross margin even where overall sales volumes increase.  

 

Administrative Expenses

 

Administrative expenses increased to $16.9 million in FY2025 from $15.1 million in FY2024, representing an increase of $1.9 million, or 12.3%. The increase in administrative expenses primarily reflects higher operating scale, inflationary cost pressures, and continued investment in organizational and operational capabilities required to support revenue growth and the Company’s omnichannel retail model. Key components of administrative expenses include personnel-related costs, occupancy and facilities expenses, professional and advisory fees, information technology and systems support, and general corporate overhead.

 

Personnel-related expenses increased during the period due to wage inflation, selective hiring in support functions, and normal annual compensation adjustments. These increases were partially offset by cost discipline initiatives and organizational efficiency measures implemented during the 2025 fiscal year. Administrative expenses also reflect ongoing investment in systems, data, and operational infrastructure, including enhancements to planning, reporting, and control processes. Management believes these investments are necessary to strengthen operating discipline, improve decision-making, and support scalability as the business grows.

 

While administrative expenses increased at a rate higher than revenue during FY2025, management does not view the increase as solely structural. A portion of the increase reflects timing-related and discretionary expenditures, as well as inflationary pressures affecting labor and service costs across the retail sector. Management continues to evaluate opportunities to streamline overhead, improve productivity, and align administrative costs more closely with operating performance.

 

Management believes that maintaining appropriate administrative investment is critical to supporting long-term operational efficiency and governance; however, continued cost discipline remains a priority to ensure that overhead growth does not outpace sustainable revenue and margin performance.

 

Finance Costs and Capital Structure Impact

 

Finance costs increased to approximately $1.13 million for the year ended January 28, 2025, compared to approximately $1.06 million for the year ended January 28, 2024, representing an increase of approximately $0.07 million, or 6.7%. The more moderate year-over-year increase reflects a combination of higher average debt balances and interest rate effects, partially offset by improved operating performance and working capital management later in the fiscal year.

 

 
11

 

 

Finance costs increased significantly year-over-year due to higher utilization of short-term borrowing facilities to fund working capital requirements. Management noted that increased inventory levels and extended receivable cycles associated with wholesale and third-party channels contributed to higher financing needs.

 

Management expects that GlobalTech Corporation, the Company’s majority shareholder, will provide up to $3.0 million of additional funding to support the Company’s working capital requirements, including inventory funding and seasonal operating needs. If provided, this funding is expected to enhance near-term liquidity and reduce reliance on short-term external borrowings, which could, over time, mitigate finance costs and improve the conversion of operating income into pre-tax income and Adjusted EBITDA.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA improved marginally year-over-year, increasing to $(0.11) million in the nine months ended October 28, 2025 from an Adjusted EBITDA loss of approximately $(0.67) million in the corresponding period of 2024, despite a decline in revenue of approximately $1.5 million, or 5.9%.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the Group in FY2025 was $2.19 million, representing a decline from the prior year ($2.77 million), despite revenue growth.

 

More information on Adjusted EBITDA, a non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP), including a reconciliation to GAAP, is included below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s liquidity requirements are primarily driven by working capital needs, including inventory purchases, payment of trade payables, servicing of short-term financing facilities, and general operating expenses. The Company has historically funded its operations through a combination of cash flows from operations, short-term financing arrangements, and trade credit. As of October 28, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.22 million, compared to $0.51 million as of January 28, 2025. During the nine months ended October 28, 2025, the Company continued to experience working capital pressure, driven primarily by increased accounts receivable and inventory-related funding needs, partially offset by increased trade and other payables and the proceeds from long-term financing.

 

 
12

 

 

As of October 28, 2025, the Company had outstanding loan balances totaling $3.78 million, comprised of (i) directors’ loan accounts of $1.77 million, representing advances provided by members of management to support operating and working capital requirements; and (ii) a third-party loan from Charles Street Finance of $2.01 million, which represents the Company’s external financing obligation.

 

These borrowings have been used primarily to fund inventory purchases, seasonal working capital requirements, and general corporate purposes. A significant portion of the Company’s borrowing bears interest and contributes to finance costs reported in the statement of operations.

 

Management expects liquidity over the next twelve months to be supported by a combination of cash flows from operations, continued access to existing financing arrangements, and anticipated funding support of up to $3.0 million from GlobalTech Corporation, the Company’s current majority shareholder, intended to support working capital requirements.

 

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended October 28, 2025 and 2024

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended October 28, 2025, was approximately $1.00 million, compared to $2.76 million of net cash provided by operating activities in the prior-year period. Operating cash flows were negatively impacted primarily by:

 

 

·

A net loss of $1.40 million;

 

·

A significant increase in accounts receivable of $6.24 million, reflecting the timing of customer collections and sales mix; and

 

·

An increase in prepayments of $1.01 million.

 

These uses of cash were partially offset by:

 

 

·

Non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $0.47 million and finance costs of $0.97 million;

 

·

A reduction in inventories of $0.75 million, reflecting improved inventory management; and

 

·

An increase in trade and other payables of $5.91 million, reflecting extended payment terms and timing differences in supplier settlements.

 

Management believes the deterioration in operating cash flows during the period was driven primarily by working capital timing effects, particularly accounts receivable, rather than a deterioration in underlying operating discipline.

 

 
13

 

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended October 28, 2025 was approximately $0.81 million, compared to $0.77 million in the prior-year period. Investing cash outflows during the period primarily related to

 

 

·

Capital expenditures of $0.27 million for property, plant, and equipment; and

 

·

Investments in intangible assets of $0.17 million, primarily related to systems and technology enhancements.

 

Management considers these investments necessary to support operational efficiency, systems capability, and long-term scalability. The Company did not record any material asset disposals during the period, compared to proceeds from disposals in the prior-year period.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended October 28, 2025 was approximately $1.51 million, compared to $0.08 million in the prior-year period. Financing cash flows during the period included proceeds from long-term financing of $3.74 million, reflecting the Company’s increased reliance on secured long-term borrowings; partially offset by repayments of short-term borrowings of $2.23 million, reflecting a shift in the Company’s financing mix.

 

Management believes the use of long-term financing improved near-term liquidity by reducing reliance on short-term facilities, although it resulted in higher finance costs.

 

Cash Flows for the Years Ended January 28, 2025 and 2024

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $0.03 million for the year ended January 28, 2025, compared to net cash generated of $0.9 million for FY2024. The year-over-year decline was primarily attributable to (i) a significant reduction in trade and other payables, reflecting settlement of prior-year liabilities; and (ii) higher cash outflows related to finance costs and income taxes, partially offset by improvements in accounts receivable and prepayments.

 

These factors were partially mitigated by operating profitability during the year and improved collection of receivables. Management notes that operating cash flow remains sensitive to working capital timing, particularly inventory turnover and supplier payment cycles.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $2.1 million for the year ended January 28, 2025, compared to $0.6 million for FY2024. The increase was primarily driven by (i) advances to a related party associated with the planned acquisition of property used by the Company; (ii) capital expenditures and intangible asset additions, including the acquisition of a brand asset; and (iii) cash outflows related to the disposal of a subsidiary.

 

 
14

 

 

These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds from the disposal of property, plant, and equipment. Management views the majority of investing cash outflows in 2025 as strategic or non-recurring in nature.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Net cash generated from financing activities was approximately $0.3 million for the year ended January 28, 2025, compared to $1.7 million for FY2024. During 2025, the Company incurred approximately $7.6 million in short-term financing and repaid approximately $7.3 million, reflecting active use of revolving and transactional financing facilities to manage working capital requirements.

 

Short-term financing outstanding increased to $2.2 million as of January 28, 2025, compared to $1.9 million at the prior year-end. These facilities are primarily used to fund inventory and receivables and carry variable or fixed financing charges, which contribute to finance costs reported in the statement of operations.

 

Working Capital and Balance Sheet Position

 

As of October 28, 2025, the Company had total current assets of $12.9 million and total current liabilities of $12.8 million, resulting in positive working capital of approximately $0.01 million, compared to negative working capital of approximately $1.75 million at the beginning of the period. Key balance sheet movements from, January 28, 2025 to October 28, 2025, included:

 

 

·

Accounts receivable increased to $6.97 million, from $1.39 million;

 

·

Inventories decreased to $4.32 million, from $5.08 million;

 

·

Trade and other payables increased to $11.90 million, from $5.94 million; and

 

·

Long-term secured financing increased to $3.74 million, from nil.

 

While working capital improved on a net basis, management recognizes that the quality of working capital is highly dependent on timely collection of receivables and continued discipline in inventory management.

 

Capital Resources and Financing Arrangements

 

The Company’s capital resources consist primarily of internally generated cash flows, trade credit, and secured borrowing facilities. As of October 28, 2025, total liabilities were $16.6 million, compared to $9.17 million at January 28, 2025, reflecting increased financing and trade payables resulting from low recovery from customers, resulting in extended credit terms from suppliers. The Group also carried tax-related liabilities, including VAT and corporation tax obligations, portions of which were subject to HMRC Time to Pay arrangements, relating to deferred taxes payable. These arrangements provided short-term liquidity relief and allowed the Company to continue investing in operations and growth initiatives without disruption

 

 
15

 

 

Management continues to evaluate financing options to support working capital requirements and reduce exposure to short-term liquidity risk. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

Capital Allocation and Investment Focus

 

Capital allocation during FY2024 and 2025 to date has been directed toward (i) supporting inventory availability with the goal of driving revenue growth; (ii) maintaining and enhancing proprietary technology systems, including the Retail Assistant platform; and (iii) streamlining the physical retail footprint to reduce fixed-cost exposure and balance-sheet risk.

 

Looking forward, management expects capital resources to be deployed selectively toward expected high-return initiatives, including digital expansion, technology enhancement, and phased international market entry.

 

Outlook for Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Management believes that existing liquidity, combined with expected improvements in operating performance and access to external funding from GlobalTech Corporation, a majority shareholder of the Company, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital needs, debt service obligations, and planned capital expenditures over the next twelve months.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We have included Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP (loss)/profit from operations as supplements to GAAP measures of performance to provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework which management uses, in addition to historical operating results, as the basis for financial, operational and planning decisions and present measurements that third parties have indicated are useful in assessing the Company and its results of operations. “Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and finance cost. We define “Non-GAAP (loss)/profit from operations” as GAAP operating loss plus other income. Non-GAAP (loss)/profit from operations and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe they provide additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period. Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.

 

 
16

 

 

Non-GAAP (loss)/profit from operations and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments, except to the extent included in finance cost. For example, although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. We believe Non-GAAP (loss)/profit from operations provides our management and investors consistency and comparability with our past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations, as this metric includes the effect of other income. Additionally, other companies in our industry may calculate Non-GAAP (loss)/profit from operations and Adjusted EBITDA differently than the Group does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. You should not consider Non-GAAP (loss)/profit from operations and Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Group’s results as reported under GAAP. The Group’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

For the Year Analysis:

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the Group in FY2025 was $2.19 million, representing a decline from the prior year’s Adjusted EBITDA of $2.77 million, despite revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA declined year over year despite a significant improvement in operating profit, which increased to $1.78 million in FY2025 from $1.18 million in FY2024, reflecting stronger core operating performance. Management believes this divergence between operating profit growth and lower Adjusted EBITDA and net profit is primarily attributable to non-operating and financing factors, rather than deterioration in underlying operations. Specifically:

 

 

·

Other income declined materially, falling to $0.1 million in FY2025 from $1.0 million in FY2024, as the prior year included significant non-recurring income items that did not recur. This reduction had a meaningful negative impact on income before taxation and net profit but did not reflect changes in operating performance.

 

 

 

 

·

Finance costs increased to $1.13 million in FY2025 from FY $1.06 million in 2024, reflecting higher average borrowings and interest rate increases. Higher finance costs reduced income before taxation and constrained the translation of operating profit into net earnings.

 

 

 

 

·

Income tax expense increased to $0.43 million in FY2025 from $0.35 million in FY2024, further reducing net profit, notwithstanding higher operating income.

 

 
19

 

 

Management believes that the decline in Adjusted EBITDA and net profit was driven primarily by the absence of non-recurring other income and higher financing and tax burdens, rather than weaker operating fundamentals.

 

Nine Months Analysis:

 

Adjusted EBITDA improved significantly to $(0.11) million for the nine months ended October 28, 2025, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(0.67) million in the corresponding period of 2024. This improvement occurred despite a decline in net revenue from $26.2 million in FY2024 to $24.6 million in FY2025.  Management attributes the improvement primarily to operating cost discipline and structural expense reductions, particularly within administrative and other operating costs, which more than offset the impact of lower revenue and higher non-cash depreciation and amortization expense.

 

The reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA highlights that the year-over-year improvement was achieved primarily through operating cost realignment, partially offset by higher finance costs and increased non-cash depreciation and amortization. Net loss improved to $1.35 million in the nine months ended October 28, 2025, from $1.73 million in the corresponding period of 2024, while depreciation and amortization increased by $0.23 million and finance costs increased by approximately $0.26 million, reflecting continued investment and higher borrowing costs.

 

Future Adjusted EBITDA performance will depend on the Company’s ability to stabilize and grow revenue while maintaining operating discipline and reducing finance costs through improved working capital management.

 

Management expects that up to $3.0 million of funding from GlobalTech Corporation, the Company’s current majority shareholder, may be made available to support working capital requirements, including inventory funding and seasonal operating needs. If provided, this funding is expected to enhance near-term liquidity and reduce reliance on short-term external borrowings, which could, over time, mitigate finance costs and support improved conversion of operating income into Adjusted EBITDA. However, the timing, structure, and final terms of such funding have not been finalized and may take the form of intercompany financing, equity, or other financial support arrangements. There can be no assurance that this funding will be provided on the anticipated terms, in the anticipated amount, or at all.

 

There can be no assurance, however, that these initiatives will be completed or will result in sustained improvements in Adjusted EBITDA.

Strategy and Outlook

 

Strategic Direction

 

123 Investments Limited expects its future performance to be driven by the continued strength of its brands like Moda in Pelle, Shoon, M By Moda, French Dressing, Besoleful, Emma Somerset, and Moda Footwear. Management is focused on a planned disciplined expansion across digital and third-party channels, selective geographic diversification, and increased deployment of technology to enhance operational efficiency and customer engagement.

 

Management’s strategic direction for the next twelve months is focused on working to scale revenue, improve profitability, and strengthen liquidity, while maintaining disciplined cost management and prudent capital allocation. Key operational priorities to support these objectives include seeking (i) revenue growth across core channels, with emphasis on improving performance in higher-margin channels while maintaining appropriate scale across wholesale and partner relationships; (ii) gross margin stabilization, through tighter inventory planning, reduced markdown exposure, and optimization of channel mix; (iii) administrative cost discipline, ensuring that overhead growth remains aligned with revenue growth and operating scale; and (iv) continued enhancement of systems and data capabilities, particularly in demand forecasting, inventory allocation, and working capital management, to support more efficient execution.

 

Management believes these initiatives are achievable within the existing operating framework, subject to market conditions and execution risks. To execute the business plan described above, the Company expects to require additional working capital funding during the next twelve months, primarily to support inventory purchases, seasonal operating requirements, and general corporate purposes. Funding requirements are expected to fluctuate during the year based on sales seasonality, inventory cycles, and the timing of receivables collections.

 

Management expects the Company’s funding needs over the next twelve months to be met through a combination of (i) cash flows from operations, as operating performance improves and profitability increases; (ii) existing financing arrangements and trade credit, subject to availability and market conditions; and (iii) expected funding support of up to $3.0 million from GlobalTech Corporation, the Company’s current majority shareholder, intended to support working capital requirements. However, management continues to focus on improving internal cash generation and working capital efficiency to reduce reliance on external funding sources over time.

 

Technology as a Core Growth Enabler

 

Technology adoption is expected to play an increasingly central role in the Company’s future operating model. A key pillar of the Company’s strategy is the continued enhancement and commercialization of its proprietary Retail Assistant technology, which has been developed in-house over several decades and reflects deep domain expertise in footwear retail operations.

 

The Company anticipates that, over time, advanced analytics and AI-enabled features potentially developed in collaboration with GlobalTech Corporation could further differentiate the Group’s digital capabilities, strengthen competitive positioning, and support scalable growth across both owned and partner channels.

 

 
21

 

 

Channel Mix and Digital Expansion Outlook

 

Management expects digital channels, including direct-to-consumer e-commerce and third-party online marketplaces, to remain the primary drivers of revenue growth. Online traffic, conversion rates, and partner-led digital sales are expected to increase as a result of improved platform performance, expanded partner relationships, and targeted marketing initiatives.

 

Wholesale and third-party distribution channels are expected to provide additional scale and brand visibility, although management recognizes that these channels typically operate at lower gross margins. As a result, the Company’s outlook assumes ongoing efforts to optimize channel mix, protect brand positioning, and balance volume growth against profitability considerations.

 

Future store openings are expected to be selective and capital-disciplined, with performance closely monitored against return thresholds. Management expects channel diversification to remain a key element of its commercial strategy over the next twelve months, with a focus on balancing revenue growth, margin discipline, and working capital efficiency across physical retail, digital, and third-party channels.

 

Management anticipates limited physical expansion, including the addition of one outlet and two full-price stores. In addition, three new concession locations are expected to come online which are expected to increase revenue, reflecting management’s view of concessions as a comparatively capital-efficient growth format.

 

The Company’s digital channel is expected to remain the largest single contributor to revenue. Management believes digital channels offer scalability and improved data visibility, although performance remains subject to promotional intensity and fulfillment costs.

 

Management also expects additional incremental revenue from expanded third-party relationships, which are expected to provide additional reach and volume but typically at lower margins.

 

Overall, management believes the anticipated channel mix reflects a measured approach to growth, with increased emphasis on digital and concession-based expansion and controlled additions to physical retail. Actual results may differ materially due to market conditions, competitive dynamics, and execution risks.

 

Profitability, Liquidity, and Capital Outlook

 

While management expects revenue to increase in the future, profitability, if any, will depend on the Company’s ability to contain operating cost inflation, improve working capital efficiency, and realize scale benefits from technology deployment.

 

Execution of the Company’s strategy is also dependent on access to sufficient capital to normalize working capital cycles, address deferred tax and supplier obligations, and fund expansion initiatives. Management’s outlook assumes that balance sheet strengthening and improved liquidity will remain priorities as the Company progresses through its growth phase.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

2.1 Basis of Presentation

 

The financial information presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, has been prepared in accordance with in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information.. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, including the Company’s accounting policies for the year ended January 28, 2025. The results of the three and nine months ended October 28, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending January 28, 2026, or for any future interim period.

 

2.2 Basis of Consolidation

 

We have prepared condensed 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.

 

2.3 Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Condensed 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 Condensed 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 GBP-denominated assets and liabilities have been translated into US Dollars using the closing exchange rates of USD 1.3366 and USD 1.2399 as at October 28, 2025 and January 28, 2025, respectively. Income and expenses denominated in GBP have been translated using the average exchange rates of USD 1.3322 and USD 1.2824 for the periods ended October 28, 2025 and January 28, 2025, respectively.”

 

2.4 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.

 

 
8

 

 

2.5 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.

 

2.6 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 condensed 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.

 

2.7 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.

 

2.8 Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at average cost, subject to the lower of cost or net realizable value.

 

 
9

 

 

2.9 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.

 

2.10 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.

 

2.11 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 condensed financial statements.

 

2.12 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.

 

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.

 

2.13 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.

 

 
10

 

 

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.

 

2.14 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.

 

2.15 Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed 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.

 

2.16 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.

 

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 condensed financial statements.

GLOBALTECH CORPORATION

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Introduction

 

On December 15, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), GlobalTech Corporation (“GlobalTech” or the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition (the “Exchange”) of 51% of 123 Investments Limited (“123 Investments Limited”) pursuant to the terms of a November 25, 2025, Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), from the shareholders of 123 Investments Limited (the “Shareholders”).

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, GlobalTech Corporation acquired 51% of 123 Investments Limited (the “Exchange”), in consideration for up to $11.7 million, consisting of the following:

 

 

1)

82,800 shares of newly designated shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) each having a deemed value of $100 (the “Agreed Value”), or $8,280,000 in aggregate;

 

 

 

 

2)

750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an agreed value of $2 each, or $1,500,000 in aggregate;

 

 

 

 

3)

up to an additional 9,200 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, issuable by the Company within seven days after the one-year anniversary of the Exchange if, and only if, the Shareholders have not defaulted in, or breached, any of their obligations, covenants or representations under the Exchange Agreement or a separate Shareholders Agreement, having an agreed value of $920,000 in aggregate; and

 

 

 

 

4)

the right to earn additional consideration of up to $1,000,000 (the “Earnout Consideration”) in the event that both (a) the total EBITDA of 123 Investments Limited in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026 is equal to or greater than 2.5 million GBP; and (b) the total net profit of 123 Investments Limited in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026 is equal to or greater than 1.0 million GBP, based on the financial statements of 123 Investments Limited provided to the Company by February 28, 2027. The Earnout Consideration may be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or shares of Company common stock, with the total number of shares of Company common stock issuable to the Shareholders equal to the total amount of Earnout Consideration divided by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last five trading days of calendar 2026, rounded up to the nearest whole share (the “Earnout Shares”).

  

In addition to the above, the Company has also agreed to make available to 123 Investments Limited a three-year revolving credit facility of US$3,000,000, the terms of which will be purely commercial terms arrived at on an arm’s length basis (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility must be made available as soon as practically possible (upon uplisting of the Company’s common stock to Nasdaq or the NYSE). If the Credit Facility is not provided within fourteen days after the Company’s common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market; Nasdaq Global Market, or NYSE American (an “Uplisting”), then 123 Investments Limited may obtain a similar credit facility and the Company will be obligated to make available sufficient collateral or security required to raise US$3,000,000. In addition, if the Uplisting is delayed then the target achievement, as per the business plan of 123 Investments Limited, will be reduced accordingly.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under this method of accounting, the aggregate purchase consideration will be allocated to 123 Investments Limited assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of completion of the Exchange. The process of valuing the net assets of 123 Investments Limited immediately prior to the Exchange, as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, is preliminary. Any differences between the estimated fair value of the consideration transferred and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase consideration allocation and related adjustments reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value. All pro forma adjustments included herein represent Transaction Accounting Adjustments, as defined in Rule 11-02(a)(6)(i), that are directly attributable to the acquisition, factually supportable, and expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company.

 

No Autonomous Entity Adjustments or Management’s Adjustments (as defined in Rule 11-02(a)(6)(ii) and (iii), respectively) have been included in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

Refer to Note 1 - Basis of Presentation for more information.

GlobalTech and 123 Investments Limited have different fiscal years. GlobalTech’s fiscal year ends on December 31, whereas 123 Investments Limited’s fiscal year has historically ended on January 28. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheets and pro forma condensed combined statements of income have been prepared utilizing period ends that differ by less than 93 days, as permitted by Rule 11-02 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act. Management believes the periods combined are not materially seasonal and that no significant intervening events occurred during the period between the respective balance sheet dates.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Exchange based on the historical financial position and results of operations of GlobalTech and 123 Investments Limited. It is presented as follows:

 

 

·

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was prepared based on (i) the historical audited consolidated balance sheet of GlobalTech as of December 31, 2024 and (ii) the historical audited consolidated balance sheet of 123 Investments Limited as of January 28, 2025, giving effect to the Exchange.

 

 

 

 

·

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 was prepared based on (i) the historical audited statement of operations of GlobalTech for the year ended December 31, 2024 and (ii) the historical audited statement of operations of 123 Investments Limited for the year ended January 28, 2025, giving effect to the Exchange.

 

 

 

 

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was prepared based on (i) the historical unaudited statement of operations of GlobalTech for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and (ii) the historical unaudited statement of earnings of 123 Investments Limited for the nine months ended October 29, 2025, giving effect to the Exchange.

  

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of GlobalTech Corporation as of December 31, 2024, and the historical consolidated balance sheet of 123 Investments Limited as of January 28, 2025, on a pro forma basis, as if the Exchange and related transactions had been consummated on December 31, 2024.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the nine months ended September 30, 2025, combine the historical results of operations of GlobalTech Corporation and 123 Investments Limited for the respective periods on a pro forma basis, as if the Exchange and related transactions had been consummated on January 1, 2024, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

 

The historical financial statements of GlobalTech and 123 Investments Limited have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are transaction accounting adjustments which are necessary to account for the Exchange in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of GlobalTech included in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the Exchange had been completed on the dates set forth above, nor is it indicative of the future results or financial position of the combined company.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Note 1 B- Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by GlobalTech Corporation in connection with GlobalTech’s acquisition of a 51% interest in 123 Investments Limited, which entity focuses on premium footwear brands, delivering high quality, design-led products through multi-channel retail, e-commerce and strategic third party partnership, and is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of GlobalTech and the historical consolidated financial statements of 123 Investments Limited. GlobalTech and 123 Investments Limited historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There were no material transactions and balances between GlobalTech and 123 Investments Limited for any periods presented.

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with GlobalTech considered the accounting acquirer of 123 Investments Limited. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, the purchase price consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of 123 Investments Limited based upon management’s preliminary estimate.

 

The excess of the purchase price consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation and related adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to adjustment based on a final determination of fair value. The purchase price consideration as well as the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities will be updated and finalized as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the closing of the acquisition. The final determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed relating to the Exchange could differ materially from the preliminary allocation of aggregate purchase consideration.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any anticipated synergies or dis-synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may result from the Exchange and any integration costs that may be incurred. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of GlobalTech had the 123 Investments Limited Exchange been completed as of the dates presented and should not be construed as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity.

 

Note – 2 Significant Accounting Policies

 

2.1 Non-Controlling Interest

 

Non-controlling interests arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. The fair value of the non-controlling interest was determined based on the discounted cash flow (DCF), consistent with those used to determine the consideration transferred.

 

Subsequent to acquisition, non-controlling interests are attributed to their share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Note 3 – Transaction Adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheets and statement of operations.

 

3.1

 

 

(a)

Represents the adjustment to recognize the estimated goodwill expected to arise from the acquisition of 123 Investments Limited.

 

 

(i)

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation and Goodwill

 

 

 

 

 

The acquisition of 123 Investments Limited has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. The preliminary purchase consideration consists of:

 

 

·

Issuance of 750,000 shares of GlobalTech common stock valued at $2.00 per share

 

·

Issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with an aggregate stated value of $8.28 million

 

·

Contingent issuance of up to 9,200 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of $0.92 million

 

·

Contingent consideration in the form of an earn-out arrangement with a maximum payout of $1.0 million

 

 

 

 

The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on management’s estimates of fair value and is subject to change as additional information becomes available. The excess of the consideration transferred and the fair value of the non-controlling interest over the estimated fair value of identifiable net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill.

 

The Company elected to measure the non-controlling interest at fair value, consistent with the full-goodwill method under ASC 805.

 

 

(ii)

Common Stock Issuance

 

 

 

 

 

Represents the issuance of 750,000 shares of GlobalTech Corporation’s common stock at $2.00 per share as partial consideration for the acquisition. The par value of $0.0001 per share has been allocated to common stock, with the remainder recorded to additional paid-in capital.

 

 

 

 

(iii)

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

 

 

 

 

Represents the issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with an aggregate stated value of $9.2 million as partial consideration for the acquisition. The Series A Preferred Stock has been classified within permanent equity based on its terms, including the absence of mandatory redemption features.

(b)

Represents the contingent liability related to the following items:

 

 

i)

Up to 9,200 shares of Series A Preferred Stock having a face value of $100 each, are issuable by the Company within seven days after the one-year anniversary of the Exchange if, and only if, the Shareholders have not defaulted in, or breached, any of their obligations, covenants or representations under the Exchange Agreement or the Shareholders Agreement dated November 24, 2025, entered into between GlobalTech Corporation, the stockholders of 123 Investments Limited and 123 Investments Limited (the “Shareholders Agreement”). This contingent consideration of $920,000 has been recorded as a liability.

 

 

 

 

ii)

The right to earn additional consideration of up to $1,000,000 (the “Earnout Consideration”) in the event that both (a) the total EBITDA of 123 Investments Limited in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026 is equal to or greater than 2.5 million GBP; and (b) the total net profit of 123 Investments Limited in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026 is equal to or greater than 1.0 million GBP, based on the financial statements of 123 Investments Limited provided to the Company by February 28, 2027. The Earnout Consideration may be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or shares of Company common stock, with the total number of shares of Company common stock issuable to the Shareholders equal to the total amount of Earnout Consideration divided by the average closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last five trading days of calendar 2026, rounded up to the nearest whole share.

 

 

 

 

 

The contingent consideration liability recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet consists of (i) the fair value of up to 9,200 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issuable subject to post-closing compliance conditions, of $920,000 and (ii) the fair value of the performance-based earn-out consideration of up to $1.0 million. Both components were measured at fair value as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805.

 

These arrangements represent contingent consideration within the scope of ASC 805-30. Although both forms of contingent consideration are expected to be settled in equity instruments of the Company, each arrangement results in an obligation to deliver equity instruments with a fixed or determinable monetary value, either through the issuance of a fixed number of preferred shares with a stated value equal to the amount due or a variable number of common shares with a fixed monetary value based on future market prices. Accordingly, the contingent consideration arrangements do not qualify for equity classification under ASC 480 and ASC 815-40.

 

For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, management has recorded an estimated contingent consideration liability of $1.92 million, with a corresponding increase to goodwill. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a probability-weighted income approach incorporating Level 3 inputs, including projected financial performance of the acquired business and discount rates.

 

Because the contingent consideration is classified as a liability, subsequent changes in its fair value will be recognized in earnings in the periods in which such changes occur. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not reflect any subsequent remeasurement adjustments of the contingent consideration liability.

 

These transaction costs are non-recurring in nature and are not expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company’s results of operations.

(c)

Represents the following breakup:

 

 

i)

Proforma adjustment represents the elimination of the historical issued share capital of 123 Investments Limited of $585 in connection with the application of acquisition accounting. Upon consolidation, the historical equity balances of 123 Investments Limited are eliminated against the purchase consideration and the Company’s investment in the acquiree, consistent with the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805.

 

 

 

 

ii)

Proforma adjustment represents the assumed issuance of 750,000 shares of GlobalTech Corporation’s common stock at an agreed value of $2.00 per share as partial consideration for the acquisition. The issuance has been recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as an increase to common stock of $75, representing par value, with the excess of $1,499,925 recorded to additional paid-in capital.

 

 

 

 

iii)

Proforma adjustment represents the elimination of pre-acquisition retained earnings of 123 Investments Limited totalling $1,555,843, which are not carried forward in the combined financial statements of GlobalTech Corporation following the acquisition and are eliminated against the Company’s investment in the acquiree in accordance with ASC 805.

 

 

 

 

iv)

Proforma adjustment represents the elimination of accumulated other comprehensive income of 123 Investments Limited of $112,248, as such amounts relate to periods prior to the acquisition date and are not included in the combined accumulated other comprehensive income of GlobalTech Corporation under the acquisition method of accounting.

 

 

(d)

Represents the preferred stock issued as consideration:

 

 

82,800 shares of newly designated shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company each having a face value of $100, which is recorded as preferred stock in the proforma combined balance sheet.

 

 

The Series A Designation provides for the Series A Preferred Stock to have the following terms:

 

 

 

 

i)

Dividend Rights. The Series A Preferred Stock will not accrue any dividends or participate in any dividends.

 

 

 

 

ii)

Liquidation Preference. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a “Liquidation”), the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive out of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to the greater of (a) the Stated Value (the “Liquidation Preference”); and (b) the total amount of consideration which would have been payable upon such Liquidation if the Series A Preferred Stock was converted into common stock in full immediately prior to such Liquidation, for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, before any distribution or payment is made to the holders of any junior securities, but after the payment of any liquidation preference of any holder of senior securities, and if the assets of the Company are insufficient to pay in full such amounts, then the entire assets to be distributed to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are to be ratably distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

 

 

 

 

iii)

Conversion Rights.

 

 

1)

Optional Conversion: During a 60-day period (the “Optional Conversion Period”) beginning on March 31, 2026, or June 1, 2026 if an application for Uplisting is pending as of March 31, 2026 (the “Optional Conversion Date”), each holder of Series A Preferred Stock may, at its option, convert its shares of Series A Preferred Stock into that number of shares of common stock equal to $100 (the “Stated Value”), divided by the greater of (i) $2.00 or (ii) the initial sales price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq Global Market, or NYSE American, multiplied by 0.80 (the “Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends, with any fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share.

 

 

 

 

2)

Automatic Conversion: Each share of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert to Company common stock (the “Automatic Conversion”) on the earlier of (i) the date that the Uplisting is approved and (ii) the last day of the Optional Conversion Period, into that number of shares of common stock equal to the Stated Value of such share of Series A Preferred Stock, divided by (1) for an Automatic Conversion occurring on the date that the Uplisting is approved, (a) the initial sales price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq Global Market, or NYSE American, multiplied by (b) 0.80; and (2) for an Automatic Conversion occurring on the last day of the Optional Conversion Period, the greater of (x)(a) the initial sales price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq Global Market, or NYSE American on the date that the Uplisting is approved, multiplied by (b) 0.80; and (y) $2.50, subject in each case to adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends, with any fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share.

e)

Transaction Costs

 

 

 

 

 

Represents approximately $125,000 of acquisition-related transaction costs, primarily consisting of legal and professional fees incurred by GlobalTech Corporation in connection with the Exchange. Although these costs were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, they have been reflected as a pro forma adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, in order to present the results of operations as if the Exchange had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. In accordance with ASC 805, these costs have been expensed and are reflected in other operating expenses. These transaction costs are non-recurring in nature and are not expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company’s results of operations.

 

These transaction costs are non-recurring in nature and are not expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company’s results of operations.

 

No tax effects have been reflected for the pro forma adjustments as the Company has concluded that such effects are not material or are offset by existing net operating loss carryforwards.

i)

Because the Company incurred a net loss for the periods presented, the assumed conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted net loss per share is equal to basic net loss per share, and the weighted-average shares used for diluted net loss per share are the same as those used for basic net loss per share.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ii)

The shares issuable upon settlement of the contingent consideration arrangements have been excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share. The contingent issuance of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to post-closing conditions and, accordingly, the related shares are not considered outstanding for basic net loss per share. In addition, because the Company incurred a net loss for the periods presented, the assumed conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is anti-dilutive and has therefore been excluded from diluted net loss per share. Shares potentially issuable under the performance-based earn-out arrangement have also been excluded from basic and diluted net loss per share because the arrangement is classified as a liability.

 

 

 

 

 

g)

Transaction cost – Acquisition-related transaction costs of approximately $125,000 were incurred by GlobalTech Corporation during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and are included in GlobalTech Corporation’s historical results of operations for that period. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustment has been recorded for the interim unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.

 

3.2 Contingencies and commitment

 

The Company has provided a commitment to make available to 123 Investments Limited a three-year revolving credit facility of US$3,000,000, the terms of which will be purely commercial terms arrived at on an arm’s length basis, to 123 Investments Limited (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility must be made available upon uplisting of the Company on Nasdaq. If the uplisting of the Company is delayed, then the target achievement of 123 Investments Limited will be reduced accordingly. Since it is only the commitment for arrangement of a credit facility, therefore the liability has not been recorded.
