(“HWH”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) operate a food and beverage (“F&B”) business in Singapore and South Korea. The F&B business operates three cafés, one of which are located in South Korea and two in Singapore, as well as an online healthy food store serving customers in Singapore. HWH International Inc. was originally incorporated in Delaware on October 20, 2021 under the name Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company consummated the Business Combination on January 9, 2024 and changed its name from “Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.” to “HWH International Inc.” The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies. On September 9, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, HWH International Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “HWH Nevada” or “Target”) and HWH Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination between the Company and the Target was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into HWH Nevada, with the Target surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) on January 9, 2024, the Company changed its name to “HWH International Inc.” The board of directors of the Company (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related transactions by the stockholders of the Company. The Target was owned and controlled by certain member officers and directors of the Company and its Sponsor. The Merger was consummated following the receipt of the required approval by the stockholders of the Company and the shareholders of the Target and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions. The total consideration paid at Closing (the “Merger Consideration”) by the Company to the Target’s shareholders was $ 125,000,000 , and was payable in shares of the common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”). The number of shares of the Company Common Stock paid to the shareholders of the Target as Merger Consideration was 12,500,000 , with each share being valued at $ 10.00 . On January 6, 2025, the Company announced the closing of its previously disclosed public offering of 632,500 shares of common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Shares”) and 250,000 pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock (“Pre-Funded Warrants”). The Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants were offered at a public offering price of $ 2.00 per share and $ 1.9995 per Pre-Funded Warrant, respectively. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have an exercise price of $ 0.0001 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the offering were approximately $ 1.76 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. Each of the amounts of warrants and shares and the prices thereof in the foregoing paragraph are adjusted for a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of the Company’s stock split effective on February 24, 2025. D. Boral Capital LLC (“D. Boral Capital”) acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company paid D. Boral Capital a cash fee equal to 7.5 % of the gross proceeds from the offering, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1.0 % of the gross proceeds, and reimbursement for legal and out-of-pocket expenses up to $ 75,000 .

(“HCKI”), 20 % and 19 % from Hapi Café SG Pte. Ltd. (“HCSGPL”), 0 % and 13 % from Alset F&B (PLQ) Pte. Ltd. (“F&BPLQ”) and 32 % and 26 % from Ketomei Pte. Ltd. (“KPL” or “Ketomei”). F&B1 was incorporated in Singapore on April 10, 2017, HCSGPL was incorporated in Singapore on April 4, 2022, F&BPLQ was incorporated in Singapore on November 11, 2022 and KPL was incorporated in Singapore on September 17, 2019. F&B1, HCSGPL, F&BPLQ and KPL are in the F&B business in Singapore. In the second quarter of 2024 the Company ceased operations of its subsidiary Alset F&B (PLQ) Pte. Ltd. Due to the closure of this subsidiary the Company wrote off $ 5,882 of fixed assets, which was included in general and administrative expenses, and recorded a gain on termination of lease of $ 248 during 2024. 8 Emerging Growth Company The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. Functional and Reporting Currency The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“$”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia are maintained in their local currencies, the Korean Won (₩), Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) and Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), which are also the functional currencies of these entities. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the balance sheet, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash of $ 3,729,873 and $ 4,341,746 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 9 Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying values reported in balance sheets for current assets and liabilities approximate their estimated fair market values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. Investment Securities at Cost Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment adjusted by observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investments of the same issuer. These investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the investment. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method and includes all costs in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is an estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, inventory consisted of finished goods procured from suppliers. The Company continuously evaluates the need for reserve for obsolescence and possible price concessions required to write-down inventory to its net realizable value. Leases The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 842 in accounting for its operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of a consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and whether it has the right to control the use of the asset. The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases that contain related non-lease components, such as maintenance, the Company will account for these payments as a single lease component. Right-of-use of Assets The right-of-use of asset is measured at cost, which comprises the amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentive received. 10 Lease Liabilities Lease liability is measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise mainly of fixed lease payments. Short-term Leases and Leases of Low Value Assets The Company has elected to not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at inception and leases of low value assets. Lease payments associated with these leases are expensed as incurred. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset, or that increase the value or productive capacity of assets are capitalized. When property and equipment is retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the asset’s carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in statement of operations. Depreciation is computed by the reducing balance method (after considering their respective estimated residual values) over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows: SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES OF PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Office Equipment 3 – 5 years Furniture and Fittings 3 – 5 years Kitchen Equipment 3 – 5 years Other Operating Equipment 3 – 5 years Leasehold Improvements Shorter of lease life or asset life The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Deposit Deposit represents rental deposit paid for the office and the cafes that is refundable at the end of the rental period. Deposit would be considered as current if it is related to the rental which would expire within the next twelve months, while deposit would be considered as non-current if it is related to the rental which would continue above the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2025, $ 21,336 deposits were current and would be refundable within the next twelve months. Revenue Recognition ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which the determination of revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires the Company to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied. The Company generates its revenue primarily from product sales and F&B business. 11 Food and Beverage : The Company’s performance obligation is to transfer ownership of its F&B products to its customers. The Company generally recognizes revenue when F&B products are delivered to its customers. Revenue is recorded net of applicable taxes, allowances, refunds or returns. The Company receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale or from web-based ordering system. The revenue received from Food and Beverage business for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $ 310,391 and $ 334,882 , respectively. The revenue received from Food and Beverage business for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $ 605,588 and $ 620,992 , respectively. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable is recorded at invoiced amounts net of an allowance for credit losses and does not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing account receivable. The measurement and recognition of credit losses involves the use of judgment. Management’s assessment of expected credit losses includes consideration of current and expected economic conditions, market and industry factors affecting the Company’s customers (including their financial condition), the aging of account balances, historical credit loss experience, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, and the existence of sources of payment. The Company also establishes an allowance for credit losses for specific receivables when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Account receivable considered uncollectible is charged against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Contract Assets and Liabilities Below is a summary of the beginning and ending balances of the Company’s contract assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. SCHEDULE OF CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 Deferred Revenue Balances at the beginning of the period $ - $ - Deferred revenue, beginning balance $ - $ - Movement for the period 15,631 - Balances at the end of the period $ 15,631 $ - Deferred revenue, ending balance $ 15,631 $ - The deferred revenue is generated from KPL, which consists of the prepaid orders from customers for delivery after June 30, 2025. 12 Value-added Tax The Company is obligated to pay value-added tax (“VAT”), among other things, on its inventory purchase as well as its rent payments and payment of professional fees. As of June 30, 2025 included in accounts payable and accrued expenses was VAT payable of $ 640 , and December 31, 2024 in other receivables was VAT paid of $ 41,885 , due primarily to the purchase of inventory and payment of rents and accounting fees. Cost of Revenue Cost of revenue consists of the cost of procuring finished goods from suppliers and related shipping and handling fees from third party money platforms, and contractor fees for part-time staff. Below is a breakdown of the Company’s cost of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. For the three months ended: SCHEDULE OF COST OF REVENUE Total June 30, 2025 Finished goods $ 119,720 Related shipping 13,396 Handling fee 13,741 Contractor fee 8,554 Franchise commission 3,453 Depreciation 2,637 Total of Cost of revenue $ 161,501 June 30, 2024 Finished goods $ 127,704 Related shipping 1,420 Handling fee 12,550 Contractor fee 8,366 Franchise commission 4,547 Sales commission ( 74 ) Depreciation 15,456 Total of Cost of revenue $ 169,969 For the six months ended: Total June 30, 2025 Finished goods $ 228,726 Related shipping 26,327 Handling fee 25,307 Contractor fee 16,808 Franchise commission 6,803 Depreciation 5,133 Total of Cost of revenue $ 309,104 June 30, 2024 Finished goods $ 206,211 Related shipping 3,695 Handling fee 23,477 Contractor fee 20,221 Franchise commission 9,500 Sales commission ( 308 ) Depreciation 29,986 Total of Cost of revenue $ 292,782 Shipping and Handling Fees The Company utilizes the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-25-18B to account for its shipping and handling as fulfillment activities, and not a promised service (a revenue element). Shipping and handling fees are included in costs of revenue within the statements of operations. 13 Advertising Expenses Costs incurred for advertising the Company’s products are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $ 38,249 and $ 4,324 , respectively. Advertising expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $ 107,094 and $ 6,566 , respectively. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”), which requires, among other things, assets and liabilities approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The assets and liabilities approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. The Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes in income tax expense. Earnings (Loss) per Share The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for treasury shares held by the Company. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for treasury shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible securities, such as stock options, convertible bonds and warrants. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 there were 909,874 potentially dilutive warrants outstanding. For the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were the same, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities was anti-dilutive during periods of net loss and therefore did not reduce the loss per share. Non-controlling Interests Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and are presented separately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Loss, and within equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company. On June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate non-controlling interests in the Company were $ 93,389 and $ 111,835 , respectively. 14 Liquidity and Capital Resources In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred a net loss, a loss from operations and negative cash flow from operating cafés during the period. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Notwithstanding the above, the Company believes that the available cash in the Company’s bank accounts, anticipated cash from operations, and financing availability from related parties are sufficient to alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months. The Company’s capital requirements for the planned expansion are based on, among other items, location-specific property costs, team requirements, and marketing steps needed. Our expansion includes plans to take over leases of existing Hapi Cafes that we currently do not own, with a goal to add additional Hapi Cafes over the next two years. Executing these plans will require a minimum investment for each Hapi Café location. There is no guarantee, however, that we will be able to achieve these plans as described. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not contain any adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Alset Inc., a Texas corporation and the Company’s indirect, majority stockholder, pursuant to which Alset Inc. has provided the Company a non-revolving line of credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which provides a maximum, aggregate credit line of up to $ 1,000,000 . During 2024, $ 300,000 was drawn from the loan, which was converted to equity on September 24, 2024. The remaining credit of $ 700,000 is available for draw as on June 30, 2025. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company may request an advance (each, an “Advance”) on the Credit Facility. Each Advance shall bear a simple interest rate of three percent ( 3 %) per annum. Each Advance and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the first (1 st ) anniversary of the effective date of the Credit Agreement. The Company may at any time during the term of the Credit Agreement prepay a portion or all amounts of its indebtedness without penalty. Each advance shall not be secured by a lien or other encumbrance on any of the Company’s assets, but shall be solely a general unsecured debt obligation of the Company. The Company has obtained letters of financial support from Alset Inc., a direct majority owner of the Company. Alset Inc. committed to provide any additional funding required by the Company and would not demand repayment through twelve months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), expanding the disclosures requirement for income taxes primarily by requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and adoption of ASU 2023-09 can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements. On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 amends ASC 220, Comprehensive Income to expand income statement expense disclosures and require disclosure in the notes to the financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is required to be adopted for fiscal years commencing after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on the Consolidated Financial Statements. Segment Reporting The Company reports its segment information to reflect the manner in which the CODM reviews and assesses performance. As of June 30, 2025, the Company only has one segment in F&B business. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Operating Officer have joint responsibility as the CODMs and review and assess the performance of the Company as a whole. The primary financial measures used by the CODMs to evaluate performance and allocate resources are net income (loss) and operating income (loss). The CODMs use net income (loss) and operating income (loss) to evaluate the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and as part of the Company’s internal planning and forecasting processes. Information on Net income (loss) and Operating income (loss) is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Segment expenses and other segment items are provided to the CODMs on the same basis as disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The CODMs do not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment assets, and therefore such information is not presented in the notes to the financial statements. 15 NOTE 3 — ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET Accounts receivable, net at June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024, June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 of $ 22,948 , $ 17,546 , $ 25,723 and $ 28,611 , respectively, represents collection received by the credit card processor in F&B business and rent receivable.

These investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the investment. Ideal Food & Beverage Pte. Ltd. On March 14, 2024, the Company entered into a share subscription agreement through its subsidiary Alset F&B Holding Pte. Ltd. (“F&BH”) for 19,000 shares of Ideal Food & Beverage Pte. Ltd. (“IFBPL”), constituting 19 % of the issued shares of IFBPL. The subscription fee of $ 14,010 was paid to IFBPL on May 23, 2024.

Boral Capital LLC), a division of Benchmark Investments, LLC, under which in lieu of HWH tendering the full amount due of $ 3,018,750 , the underwriters accepted a combination of $ 325,000 in cash paid upon the closing of Business Combination, 149,443 shares of the Company’s common stock and a $ 1,184,375 promissory note as full satisfaction. This agreement was effective at the closing of Business Combination on January 9, 2024. The 149,443 shares were issued at the price of $ 10.10 , totaling the amount of $ 1,509,375 .

The promissory note carries interest rate equal to SOFR (secured overnight financing rate for U.S. Government Securities Business Day published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) plus a margin of one percent. The principal amount of the promissory note and any accrued interest shall mature (i) partially in the event HWH completes an offering within one year of the date of the promissory note, the amount of outstanding debt maturing being proportionate to the amount of proceeds of the future offering, or (ii) in partial installments through October of 2028, the outstanding balance being paid annually until the balance owed is paid in full. The first installment of the note that was due in October 2024 was paid in January 2025, resulting in a default due to the delay in payment. We are currently in negotiations with EF Hutton to resolve the default status and restore the account to good standing. NOTE 8 — DUE TO ALSET INC. Alset Inc (“AEI”) is our ultimate holding company that is incorporated in the United States of America. The amount due to AEI represents short-term working capital advances to the Company for its daily operations. There is no written, executed agreement and no financial/non-financial covenants and the amount due to AEI is non-interest bearing. Since the amount due to AEI is due upon request, it is classified as a current liability. The amounts due to AEI at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are $ 459,614 and $ 209,614 respectively. On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Alset Inc., pursuant to which AEI has provided the Company a line of credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) which provides a maximum, aggregate credit line of up to $ 1,000,000 .

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no shares of preferred stock outstanding. The Company previously had shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding, which automatically converted into common stock at the time of a Business Combination, on a one-for-one basis. Rights - Each holder of a right automatically received one-tenth (1/10) of one share of common stock upon consummation of the Business Combination. Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and the Company will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of residence of the exercising holder, or an exemption from registration is available. Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Share of Class A Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $90.00 — Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants: ● in whole and not in part; ● at a price of $ 0.01 per Public Warrant; ● upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, or the 30-day redemption period to each warrant holder; and ● if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $ 90.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganization, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to warrant holders. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. 23 The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering except the Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) were not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain exceptions.

The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term relating to its operating leases is 1.78 years, with a weighted-average discount rate of 2.95 %. The Company has also utilized the following practical expedients: ● For short-term leases – for leases that are for a period of 12 months or less, the Company will not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842. ● For leases that contain related non-lease components, such as maintenance, the Company will account for these payments as a single lease component. 25 The current portion of operating lease liabilities and the non-current portion of operating lease liabilities are presented on the balance sheets.

On November 4, 2024, the Company announced the launch of its business-to-consumer marketplace, Hapi Marketplace. Hapi Marketplace features a selection of over forty-seven product categories including wellness, elderly care, auto accessories and more. Launching first in the United States, we intend for Hapi Marketplace to expand in the near future to South Korea and Hong Kong, followed by further expansion across Asia. The various aspects of the Hapi Marketplace will be launched in phases in different regions, each with their own timeline, depending on the completion of logistical aspects for implementation (i.e., payment gateway systems, business licenses, banking set up, import licenses, managerial resources, etc.). We are expanding the product range into robotics for consumer and commercial markets. 28 Hapi Cafés, which are, and will be, in-person, location-based social experiences, offer customers the opportunity to build a sense of community with like-minded customers who share a potential interest in our products. The cafes are designed to operate sustainably as standalone businesses. The cafes also seek to be an avenue to create awareness to and educate potential and existing customers about the products and services of HWH, providing us with the chance to significantly increase our customer base as well as increase the amounts spent by our customers on our affiliates’ products and services. Each of our cafés is a “Hapi Café.” We opened proof-of-concept Hapi Café locations in Seoul, the Republic of Korea and Singapore in May and July 2022, respectively, one more opened in Seoul, the Republic of Korea in May 2024. We plan to open additional Hapi Cafés as we beta test and further improve our business concept. We intend to grow our customer base as we grow the number of Hapi Cafés around the world. Hapi Cafes are positioned to be integral parts of HWH’s business model. In June 2024, the Company’s decision to close the café under Alset F&B (PLQ) Pte. Ltd. (“F&BPLQ”) was driven by the unsustainable revenue it generated. We believe it is more strategic to refocus our efforts and resources on other business ventures that have greater growth potential. Hapi Wealth Builder seeks to provide participants the opportunity to attend courses, workshops, and coaching sessions in person, fostering a collaborative learning environment for those dedicated to learning investment in equities and wealth-building strategies. The team has been diligently producing digital content for Hapi Wealth Builder and working to collaborate with the right partners to launch the program and make it available to customers. Hapi Wealth Builder will leverage the wealth of knowledge and experience of its leaders to make wealth building accessible and effective for its members. Our unique community-centric approach will offer members tools for making informed financial decisions while creating pathways for sustained growth. On October 31, 2024, we announced that the Company scheduled the launch of Hapi Wealth, a program dedicated to providing comprehensive education in equity investment and wealth-building strategies. We are targeting a rollout in selected regions later in 2025. To further support its mission, Hapi Wealth is opening its China headquarters, designed as a conducive environment for individuals to participate in tutorials and workshops. The hub will offer participants the opportunity to attend courses, workshops, and coaching sessions in person, fostering a collaborative learning environment for those dedicated to learning investment in equities and wealth-building strategies.

They have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, allowance for credit losses, recoverability and useful lives of property, plant and equipment, the valuation allowance of deferred taxes, contingencies, and equity compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition and Cost of Sales Product Sales: The Company’s performance obligation is to transfer ownership of its products to its customers. The Company generally recognizes revenue when a product is delivered to its customer. Revenue is recorded net of applicable taxes, allowances, refund or returns. The Company receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale. If any customer returns a product to the Company on a timely basis, they may obtain a replacement product from the Company for such returned product. Allowances for product returns are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This accrual is based upon historical return rates for each country and the relevant return pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to 12 months following the original sale. Product returns for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were approximately $0. Food and Beverage: The revenue received from food and beverage business in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $310,391 and $334,882, respectively. The revenue received from food and beverage business in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $605,588 and $620,992, respectively. Cost of Revenue: Cost of revenue consists of cost of procuring finished goods from suppliers and related shipping and handling fees.

Word of mouth, social media presence, and the availability of meeting spaces are significant drivers of our revenue and revenue potential.

Cost of revenue Cost of revenues increased from $169,969 in the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $161,501 in the three months ended June 30, 2025. Cost of revenues increased from $292,782 in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to $309,104 in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is a result of the increase in sales in F&B business.

The gross margin increased from $328,210 to $296,484 in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025. The increase of gross margin was caused by the increase in F&B revenue.

Other non-operating income (expense) Other non-operating income increased from $86,186 to $415,768 in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, mainly due to gain on disposal of subsidiaries from $0 to $383,667 in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025. Other non-operating income increased from $81,753 to $565,872 in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025, primarily due to decline gain on disposal of subsidiaries from $0 to $383,667 in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025.

The Company believes that the available cash in the Company’s bank accounts, anticipated cash from operations, and financing availability from related parties are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. The Company’s capital requirements for the planned expansion are based on, among other items, geographical specific property costs, team requirements, and marketing steps needed. Our expansion consists of plans to take over leases of existing Hapi Cafes we currently do not own, as we look to add more Hapi Cafes over the next two years. There is no guarantee that we will be able to execute on our plans as laid out above. On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Alset Inc., a Texas corporation and the Company’s indirect, majority stockholder, pursuant to which Alset Inc. has provided the Company a line of credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) which provides a maximum, aggregate credit line of up to $1,000,000.

Nasdaq’s notice had no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.

To regain compliance, the Company’s MVLS was required to be at least $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days prior to September 3, 2024.

Upon the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) on January 9, 2024, the Company changed its name to “HWH International Inc.” The transaction has closed, as all closing conditions referenced in the Merger Agreement have either been met or waived by the parties. Certain closing conditions that have been waived by the parties, pursuant to the Merger Agreement include Section 8.1(i), which states “the aggregate cash available to the Company at the Closing from the Trust Account (after giving effect to the redemption of any shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in connection with the Company’s Proposals, but before giving effect to (i) the payment of the Outstanding Alset Transaction Expenses, and (ii) the payment of the Outstanding Company Transaction Expenses), shall equal or exceed Thirty Million dollars ($30,000,000); and 8.1(j), which states “upon the closing, the Company shall not have redeemed shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in the Offer in an amount that would cause the Company to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) under the Exchange Act).” Registration Rights Agreement On January 31, 2022 the Company, the Sponsor, and certain persons and entities holding securities of the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to register certain securities, including (i) all of the shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants held by the Sponsor, and the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, and (ii) the shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s common stock underlying warrants that were issued in the Private Placement on January 31, 2022. The Company was obligated to (a) file a resale registration statement to register such securities within 15 business days after the closing of the Business Combination, and (b) use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 60 business days after the closing of the Business Combination. 34 Lock-Up Agreements In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, at the closing, each of the HWH Holders holding more than 5% of the HWH Common Stock and certain members of HWH’s management team entered into a Lock-Up Agreement with the Company in substantially the form attached to the letter Agreement dated January 31, 2022 (the “Letter Agreement”) (each, a “Lock-Up Agreement”). Under the Lock-Up Agreement, each such holder agreed not to, during the period commencing from the Closing and with respect to the shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be received as part of the Merger Consideration by the HWH Holder (together with any securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such securities or into which such securities are exchanged or converted, the “Restricted Securities”), (A) ending on the earlier of nine months after the date of the Closing, the date on which the closing sale price of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing or (y) the date after the Closing on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their equity holdings in the Company for cash, securities or other property. Impact of Inflation We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024. We cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition. Impact of Foreign Exchange Rates The effects of foreign exchange rate changes on the intercompany loans (under ASC 830), which mostly consist of loans from Singapore to South Korea and which were approximately $0.8 million and $0.9 million on June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, are the reason for the fluctuation in foreign currency transaction gains or losses which are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income. Because the intercompany loan balances between Singapore and South Korea will remain at approximately $1 million over the next year, we expect this fluctuation of foreign exchange rates to still impact the results of operations in 2025, especially given that the foreign exchange rate may and is expected to be volatile. If the amount of intercompany loan is lowered in the future, the effect will also be reduced. However, at this moment, we do not expect to repay the intercompany loans in the short term. Emerging Growth Company Status We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of this exemption. 35 Controls and Procedures We are not currently required to maintain an effective system of internal controls as defined by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event that we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer would we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement. Further, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act, we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements included in this prospectus. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect management’s judgment and estimates concerning effects of events and transactions that are accounted for or disclosed. Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to our ability to record, process, summarize and report reliable data. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of internal control. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time. In order to ensure that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, management regularly assesses controls and did so most recently for its financial reporting as of June 30, 2025. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in the Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. In connection with management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025, management determined that the following issues constitute as material weakness: ● The Company has limited accounting personnel, and as such, is unable to properly segregate duties relating to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. ● Well-defined accounting policies and procedures have not been established and many financial close procedures, including period-end review and reconciliations, did not occur on a timely basis or failed to identify material adjustments. This prospectus does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this prospectus. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item. Item 4. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal interim ended June 30, 2025, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal interim ended June 30, 2025 covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 36 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
