ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1. Business
Corporate History
Photozou Holdings, Inc., ("Photozou Holdings," or the "Company"), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 29, 2014, with the purposes to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware (the "DGCL").
The Company was formed by Thomas DeNunzio, our former sole officer and director, for the purpose of creating a corporation which could be used to consummate a merger or acquisition.
On January 13, 2017, Thomas DeNunzio sold 8,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock, which represented all of our issued and outstanding shares at the time, to Photozou Co., Ltd., a Japan corporation.
The shares were sold for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000. Photozou Co., Ltd. is controlled by Koichi Ishizuka, a Japanese citizen. The aforementioned shares were sold pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Regulation S"). No directed selling efforts were made in the United States.
On January 13, 2017, Mr. Thomas DeNunzio resigned as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer.
On January 13, 2017, Mr. Koichi Ishizuka was appointed as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer.
On January 18, 2017, we changed our name from Exquisite Acquisition, Inc. to Photozou Holdings, Inc.
Pursuant to our Registration Statement deemed effective on June 20, 2017, we, “the Company,” sold a total of 3,037,300 shares of our common stock. The proceeds totaled $75,933. These shares were sold pursuant to Rule 419.
On May 8, 2018, the Company conducted a stock cancellation of the above 3,037,300 shares and the total funds of $75,933 were returned to investors. The cancellation of the shares and return of funds was due to the fact that we did not make an acquisition in the allotted time granted by Rule 419.
On May 31, 2018, the Company entered into and consummated a Stock Purchase Agreement with Koichi Ishizuka, our President, CEO, and Director. At the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Koichi Ishizuka transferred to the Company, 10,000 shares of common stock of Photozou Koukoku Co., Ltd., a Japan corporation (“Photozou Koukoku”), which represented all of its issued and outstanding shares, in consideration of 1,000,000 JPY ($9,190 USD as of the exchange rate May 31, 2018). The Company has since gained a 100% interest in the issued and outstanding shares of Photozou Koukoku’s common stock and Photozou Koukoku is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company and Photozou Koukoku were under common control at the time of the acquisition.
Photozou Koukoku Co., Ltd. was incorporated under the laws of Japan on March 14, 2017. Currently, Photozou Koukoku is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The Company’s primary business is focused on online advertising and the sale of used cameras.
On September 21, 2020, Photozou Co., Ltd our principal controlling shareholder, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Koichi Ishizuka, our Sole Officer and Director. Pursuant to the closing of the Agreement on September 21, 2020, Photozou Co., Ltd. transferred to Koichi Ishizuka 4,553,200 shares of our common stock, which represents approximately 56.9% of our issued and outstanding common stock, in consideration of JPY 6,657,917 (approximately $60,500). Following the closing of the share purchase transaction, Koichi Ishizuka owns approximately 66.7% interest in the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Photozou Co., Ltd. was and remains owned and controlled entirely by Koichi Ishizuka, we do not believe that this transaction is deemed to be a change in control of the Company.
Overview
Our principal executive offices are located at 4-30-4F, Yotsuya, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 160-0004, Japan.
The Company has elected November 30th as its fiscal year end.
Currently, we operate through our wholly owned subsidiary, Photozou Koukoku Co., Ltd., “Photozou Koukoku” of which is engaged in advertising services and selling used cameras.
Photozou Koukoku was incorporated under the laws of Japan on March 14, 2017.
Currently, Photozou Koukoku is headquartered at 4-30-4F, Yotsuya, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 160-0004, Japan. Photozou Koukoku’s office space is provided rent free by our Chief Executive Officer, Koichi Ishizuka.
Photozou Koukoku Co., Ltd.’s business operations are primarily focused on the sale of used cameras, primarily sold online, and online advertising through various channels. On April 17, 2017, Photozou Koukoku obtained a license to operate as a used goods merchant in Japan. From April 2021, Photozou Koukoku started to provide photo session services by hosting photo sessions to individual customers.
Background of Operations - Sale of Cameras
Photozou Koukoku purchases and resells used cameras as its primary business, which include mainly high-class digital single lens reflex cameras produced by well-known Japanese camera makers, e.g. Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, etc.
The camera industry in Japan is a multi-billion dollar industry and cameras made in Japan have worldwide appeal and recognition. This is due to the fact that common household name camera manufacturers such as Canon, Nikon, Sony and several others, are headquartered in Japan and sell high end, digital cameras, generally associated with high quality.
The Company believes that due to the high quality of cameras created by Japanese camera makers that these will be the most appealing products to offer to the USA and Japanese market.
However, should market trends shift and the demand for cameras of other companies see a surge in popularity then Photozou Koukoku may consider the possibility of acquiring and reselling cameras by other manufacturers. It may also consider the possibility of selling electronics that serve other purposes other than taking photographs, but have a camera embedded in them, such as camera phones. At this time however, the focus is to sell used high-class digital single lens reflex cameras.
Purchasing
Photozou Koukoku primarily purchases used cameras from used camera dealers and individual consumers in Japan. Photozou Koukoku’s supporting website at http://photozou.jp/kaitori/top/ can be used by interested parties to access pertinent information relating to selling their cameras. For example, there is a section of the website which discloses a price list by product. Through the website they can also request an estimate, review Photozou Koukoku’s procedure for purchasing cameras and fill out an application to sell their camera. Currently, Photozou Koukoku has hired, as an independent contractor, Mr. Takaharu Ogami to handle the entirety of all purchasing and selling activities of Photozou Koukoku’s camera business. Relating to his services to Photozou Koukoku, Mr. Ogami is paid a monthly fee of JPY 400,000 ($3,600) which increased to JPY 450,000 ($4,000) beginning May 2021. Mr. Ogami is responsible for the sale and shipping of the cameras at the expense of Photozou Koukoku. Photozou Koukoku is the legal owner of the camera(s) until the point of sale to the purchaser or purchaser(s).
- 3 -
Inventory
The Company consigns its operations regarding the sale of cameras to Mr. Ogami. However, inventory remains under legal ownership of the Company.
As of November 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company held inventory comprised solely of used cameras in the amount of $99,797 and $35,484.
Selling
As of April 2021, Photozou Koukoku predominantly sells its used cameras to individuals through Amazon USA. Cameras are shipped to the purchaser for a fee that is determined at a later date depending on the type of camera and method of delivery that is selected.
Advertising Services
At present, Photozou Koukoku offers two types of advertising services. These services include managing online photo contests and web advertising services that are specifically geared toward advertisements that are placed on what is known as “The Photozou-Social Networking Service.” The aforementioned is a social networking website, primarily for photo sharing. Its web address can be found here: http://photozou.jp/?lang=en. The online social networking website is owned entirely by Photozou Co., Ltd., a Japan Corporation, which our CEO and Director, Koichi Ishizuka, also owns in its entirety and controls.
Herein, we may refer to the aforementioned social networking website as “the Photozou-SNS”, “SNS”, “the website” or “the social networking site.”
Photozou Koukoku develops banner ads for third parties and subsequently assists those clients with placing their advertisements on the Photozou-SNS. Fees are determined on a case by case basis and vary depending on whether or not Photozou Co., Ltd contracts Photozou Koukoku to work with a pre-existing client, or if Photozou Koukoku obtains the client on its own.
It is possible that the Company will expand into offering additional online advertising services, and will develop advertisements other than banner ads, but such plans are still under consideration at this time.
As mentioned above, the Company also manages and operates photo contests that take place on the SNS. The photo contests are funded by third parties and are used as a way to promote and advertise the business operations of the third party companies hosting the photo contest(s), through the social networking site. Fees for this service are also on a case by case basis and vary depending on whether or not Photozou Co., Ltd contracts Photozou Koukoku to work with a pre-existing client, or if Photozou Koukoku obtains the client on its own.
Photo session services
Starting in April 2021, Photozou Koukoku began providing commercial photo session services to customers. The customers sign up for a photo session and Photozou Koukoku organizes the session in which customers can take photos of models provided by Photozou Koukoku for the customer. The rights to any images or video taken by the customer are retained by the Company, models, and model’s office, not the customer. The photo sessions are intended to be a skill building activity as the Company believes many customers in Japan are interested in improving their photographic skills. Photographers shall not publish images or videos taken at the photo sessions without the consent of both the Company and the model whose pictures are taken. These photo sessions are held every weekend in Osaka and since February, 2022 in Tokyo.
models are associated with the photo session services provided in Osaka (https://www.primavera-photo-session.com/). 13 models are part of Photozou Koukoku photo sessions conducted in Tokyo (https://www.pps-tokyo.jp/).
Customers pay an all-inclusive fee directly to Photozou Koukoku, who in turn pays any associated costs or other expenses, including the amounts paid to the models.
Promotional activity
Our CEO, Koichi Ishizuka, has verbally consented that we may utilize the SNS to promote and advertise our own services.
We believe there to be a clear synergy between the operations of Photozou Koukoku and the Photozou-SNS, as Photozou-SNS is a website where users can upload and share pictures taken with their cameras. It is our belief that many individuals who are sharing, browsing and evaluating photographs online will have an interest in purchasing cameras for personal use and potentially to upload more photos on the website. They may also potentially own a business that seeks to run a photo contest via the SNS which we may benefit from should they decide to do so.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Market Information
Beginning in 2019, our Common Stock was quoted on the OTC Markets Group Inc.’s (the “OTCM”) Pink Tier under the symbol “PTZH.”
On April 29, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued an “Order of Suspension of Trading” (referred to herein as the “Order”) temporarily suspending the trading in the securities of the Company. The Order stated that the SEC felt it in the public interest and protection of investors to require a temporary suspension in light of potentially manipulative transactions in the Company’s Common Stock and unusual trading activity, particularly in February and March, 2021. The Company’s Common Stock, previously quoted on the OTC Markets Group Pink Tier was suspended as a result of the Order for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT on April 30, 2021, through 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 13, 2021, at which time the suspension expired by its terms.
On August 26, 2021 the SEC confirmed to the Company’s counsel that it had concluded its investigation of the Company pursuant to the Order, and that the SEC did not intend to recommend any enforcement action. The SEC’s response further noted that this decision should “in no way be construed as indicating that the party (the Company) has been exonerated or that no action may ultimately result from the staff's investigation.”
Recently, the Company had a Market Maker file a Form 211 on the Company’s behalf so that the Company’s Common Stock may resume its quotation via the OTC Pink Tier. The Form 211 was cleared by FINRA on December 15, 2021. Currently, the Company’s counsel is in communications with OTC staff regarding resuming quotation of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTC Markets Group Pink Tier.
There is no guarantee that the Company’s Common Stock will be quoted again via the OTC Pink Tier in the future.
There is currently a limited trading market in the shares of our Common Stock.
Set forth below are the range of high and low bid closing bid prices for the periods indicated as reported by the OTCM. The market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commissions and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.”
These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of November 30, 2021 and 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $68,312 and $244,704, respectively. Currently, our cash balance is not sufficient to fund our operations and our revenues cannot cover our cost and expenses for any substantive period of time. We have been utilizing and may continue to utilize funds from Photozou Co., Ltd., owned and managed by Koichi Ishizuka, our CEO. Photozou Holdings., Inc, and Koichi Ishizuka, however, have no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the company. In order to implement our plan of operations for the next twelve-month period, we require further funding. Being a start-up stage company, we have very limited operating history. After a twelve-month period we may need additional financing but currently do not have any arrangements for such financing.
If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash we need, or cease operations entirely.
For the year ended November 30, 2021, the Company borrowed $170,525 from Photozou Co., Ltd., a Company controlled by Koichi Ishizuka, CEO. The total due to related party as of November 30, 2021 was $630,586 and are unsecured, due on demand and non-interest bearing.
Revenues
For the year ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, we generated revenues in the amount of $159,662 and $183,927, respectively, from the sale of used cameras, and $48,935 and $19,889, respectively, from services.
For the year ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, used camera revenues in the US market is 95.4% of used camera revenue and 0%, respectively. For the year ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, used camera revenues in the Japan market is 4.6% of used camera revenue and 100%, respectively.
Our decrease in revenues was attributed to suspension in purchases from our principal customer.
Net Loss
We recorded a net loss of $199,382 and $71,790 for the year ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The greater net loss for the year ended November 30, 2021, as opposed to the year ended November 30, 2020, is attributed to an increase in expenses.
We believe that we realized a net loss for the year ended November 30, 2021 because our and our subsidiary’s collective operating expenses, outweighed our gross profits.
Through the current date, our gross profit ratio has been, in our opinion, low. To improve upon our margins, going forward, we intend to make an attempt to purchase cameras at lower prices by better negotiating purchases in our favor, and or buying in bulk at cheaper prices. We do not believe a small increase in our pricing will deter buyers from purchasing our cameras, therefore we are also exploring the possibility of increasing our prices slightly.
Cash flow
For the year ended November 30, 20201 and 2020, we had cash flows from operations in the amount of negative $149,290 and $69,807, respectively.
Working capital
As of November 30, 2021 and 2021, we had a working deficit of $434,448 and $242,853, respectively.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a basis of accounting assuming that the Company is a going concern that contemplates realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the early stage of operations and has reoccurring net losses and working capital deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will offer noncash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain revenue- producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Photozou Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Photozou Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) as of November 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Matter
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 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 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 financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
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: (1) 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Photozou Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 29, 2014.
On May 8, 2018, the Company conducted a stock cancellation of the above 3,037,300 shares and the total funds of $75,933 were returned to investors. The cancellation of the shares and return of funds was due to the fact that we did not make an acquisition in the allotted time granted by Rule 419.
On May 31, 2018, the Company entered into and consummated a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Koichi Ishizuka, our President, CEO, and Director. At the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Koichi Ishizuka transferred to the Company, 10,000 shares of common stock of Photozou Koukoku Co., Ltd., a Japan corporation (“Photozou Koukoku”), which represented all of its issued and outstanding shares, in consideration of 1,000,000 JPY ($9,190 USD as of the exchange rate May 31, 2018). The Company has since gained a 100% interest in the issued and outstanding shares of Photozou Koukoku’s common stock and Photozou Koukoku is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company and Photozou Koukoku were under common control at the time of the acquisition.
Photozou Koukoku was incorporated under the laws of Japan on March 14, 2017. Currently, Photozou Koukoku is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. The Company offers advertising services and sells used cameras on consignment.
On June 5, 2018, Photozou Co., Ltd., our controlling shareholder, entered into stock purchase agreements with 69 Japanese shareholders. Pursuant to these agreements, Photozou Co., Ltd. sold 3,028,900 shares of Photozou Holdings common stock in total to these individuals and received $75,723 as aggregate consideration. Each shareholder paid .025 USD per share.
On July 17, 2018, Photozou Co., Ltd., our controlling shareholder, entered into stock purchase agreements with 1 Japanese shareholder. Pursuant to these agreements, Photozou Co., Ltd. sold a total of 7,000 shares of common stock to this individual and received $175 as aggregate consideration. Each shareholder paid $0.025 USD per share.
On September 21, 2020, Photozou Co., Ltd., our principal controlling shareholder, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Koichi Ishizuka, our Sole Officer and Director. Pursuant to the closing of the Agreement on September 21, 2020, Photozou Co., Ltd. transferred to Koichi Ishizuka 4,553,200 shares of our common stock, which represents approximately 56.9% of our issued and outstanding common stock, in consideration of JPY 6,657,917 (approximately $60,500). Following the closing of the share purchase transaction, Koichi Ishizuka owns approximately 66.7% interest in the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Photozou Co., Ltd. was and remains owned and controlled entirely by Koichi Ishizuka, we do not believe that this transaction is deemed to be a change in control of the Company.
Our principal executive offices are located at 4-30-4F, Yotsuya, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 160-0004, Japan.
The Company has elected November 30th as its fiscal year end.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Photozou Koukoku. Intercompany transactions are eliminated.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant estimates and assumptions made by management include going concern, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation allowance on deferred income tax, inventory obsolescence and sales allowance. Since early 2020, the global outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) has significantly affected the economy in Japan, where the Company mainly operates its business. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may directly or indirectly impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations is highly uncertain and subject to change. We considered the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our estimates and assumptions and there was not a material impact to our consolidated financial statements as of November 30, 2021 and for the year then ended. Operating results in the future could vary from the amounts derived from management's estimates and assumptions.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
The Company accounts for related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850 ("Related Party Disclosures"). A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company's securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company's management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. The Company conducts business with its related parties in the ordinary course of business.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents . The company does not have any cash equivalents as of November 30, 2021 and 2020.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CREDIT POLICIES
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. If there is a claim for a defect of product after within four days after arrival of goods, the Company shall accept a goods return. Uncollectible accounts are written off against the allowance after appropriate collection efforts have been exhausted and when it is deemed that a balance is uncollectible. As of November 30, 2021, the Company expects to collect these balances completely and therefore has not created any allowance for it.
As of November 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had account receivable in the amount of $18,731 and $2,592.
SALES TAX RECOVERABLE
At November 30, 2021, the Company had $25,741 of sales tax recoverable compared to $0 as at November 30, 2020. This is due to sales tax paid by Photozou Koukoku for inventories and expenses incurred during the year which is recoverable from the government.
INVENTORY
Inventory, consisting of used cameras, are primarily accounted for using the specific identification method, and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. This valuation requires the Company to make judgments, based on currently-available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.
As of November 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company held inventory comprised solely of used cameras and parts in the amount of $99,797 and $35,484. There is no inventory reserve recorded as of November 30, 2021 and 2020.
SOFTWARE
The Company capitalizes certain costs related to obtaining or developing computer software for internal use. Costs incurred during the application development stage internally or externally are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of two to five years since the computer software is ready for its intended use. The application development stage includes design of chosen path, software configuration and integration, coding, hardware installation and testing. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and post implementation-operation stage are expensed as incurred.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. For the years ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not record any impairment charges on long-lived assets.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The Company maintains its books and record in its local currency, Japanese YEN (“JPY”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, assets and liabilities of the Company whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within the statements of shareholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from the local currency of the Company into US$1 has been made at the following exchange rates:
November 30, 2021
November 30, 2020
Current JPY: US$1 exchange rate 113.77
104.27
Average JPY: US$1 exchange rate 109.00

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME OR LOSS
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income or loss as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated comprehensive loss, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION AND DEFERRED REVENUE
The Company recognize its revenue in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from contracts with Customers. To determine revenue recognition for agreements within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
Revenue for used cameras sold is recognized at a point in time when the cameras are delivered to the customer. There are two types of service revenue. Revenue for advertising service is recognized over time when the services are provided to the customers. Revenue for photo session service is recognized at a point of time when service is provided to the customers at the photo session.
Deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received from a customer prior to the goods or services were delivered. As of November 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company's deferred revenue was $2,110 and $2,302, respectively.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net income per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of November 30, 2021 and 2020.
INCOME TAX
The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Section 740-10-25"). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with financial institutions. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments subject to credit risks. With respect to trade receivables, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that the receivable credit risk exposure is limited.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model to estimate its lifetime "expected credit loss" and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is expected to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for smaller reporting companies for annual periods beginning after December 13, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the standard on December 1, 2020 . The early adoption of this standard did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared on a basis of accounting assuming that the Company is a going concern that contemplates realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the early stage of operations and has reoccurring net losses and working capital deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will offer noncash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain revenue- producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 4 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
For the year ended November 30, 2021, Photozou Co., Ltd., a company controlled by Koichi Ishizuka, CEO, advanced to the Company $3,351 and paid expense on behalf of the Company in an amount of $167,174.

For the years ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company rented office space and storage space from the Company’s officer free of charge.
NOTE 5- SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred Stock

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
The Company conducts its major businesses in Japan and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company files tax returns that are subject to examination by the local tax authority.

Photozou Holdings, Inc., which acts as a holding company on a non-consolidated basis, does not plan to engage any business activities and current or future loss will be fully allowed. For the years ended November 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, Photozou Holdings, Inc., as a holding company registered in the state of Delaware, has incurred net loss and, therefore, has no tax liability.
The Company has not recognized any income tax benefit for its operating losses generated based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. Deferred tax assets arise from net operating loss carried forward of $520,302 are fully allowed as the Company considers its realization not to be more likely than not. The net operating loss carry forward will start to expire in the year 2028. In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Koichi Ishizuka, has reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by the report November 30, 2021 and has concluded that (i) the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, and (ii) the Company’s controls and procedures have not been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Management conducted an assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Based on the assessment, management concluded that, as of November 30, 2021, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is ineffective based on those criteria.
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control processes will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of error or fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that the breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our Chief Executive Officer considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of Treadway Commission were: domination of management by a single individual without adequate compensating controls, lack of a majority of outside directors on board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives, and lack of an audit committee.
The Company believes that the material weaknesses are due to the Company’s limited resources.
Our Chief Executive Officer stated that the material weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results . However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and inadequate segregation of duties results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Our Chief Executive Officer recognizes that its controls and procedures would be substantially improved if we had an audit committee and two individuals serving as officers and as such is actively seeking to remediate this issue.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.
We will work as quickly as possible to implement these initiatives; however, the lack of adequate working capital and positive cash flow from operations will likely slow this implementation.
Changes in Internal Control
There have been no changes in internal controls over the financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.
Mr. Koichi Ishizuka, Age 50- Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Director, Secretary, and Treasurer
Background of Mr. Koichi Ishizuka
In 2004 Mr. Koichi Ishizuka graduated with his MBA from the University of Aoyama Gakuin. Several years later in 2011 he graduated from the Advanced Management Program at Harvard School of Business. Following Mr. Ishizuka’s formal education, he took a position as the head of marketing with Thomson Reuters, a mass media and information firm. Thereafter, he served as the CEO of Xinhua Finance Japan in 2006, Fate Corporation in 2008, and LCA Holdings., Ltd in 2009. Currently, Mr. Ishizuka serves as the Chief Executive Officer of OFF Line Co., Ltd., Photozou Co., Ltd., Photozou Holdings, Inc., and Photozou Koukoku Co., Ltd.. He has held the position of CEO with OFF Line Co., Ltd. Since 2013, Photozou Co., Ltd since 2016, Photozou Holdings, Inc since 2017 and Photozou Koukoku Co., Ltd. since 2017. Off Line Co., Ltd. manages and operates a Japanese communication application named, “AirTalk.” This is Off Line Co., Ltd.’s primary business activity. In June 2018, he incorporated OFF Line Japan Co., Ltd., a Japan corporation. On November 22, 2019, he incorporated OFF Line International, Inc., a Delaware corporation. On November 18, 2020, Koichi Ishizuka became the Chief Financial Officer of Next Meats Holdings, Inc, where he remains to this date.
As of the date of this filing, there has not been any material plan, contract or arrangement (whether or not written) to which our sole officer and director are a party in connection with their appointments at Photozou Holdings, Inc.
Employees
As of November 30, 2021, we had no employees outside of our sole officer and director.
Director’s Term of Office
Directors will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and the election and qualification of their successors. Officers are elected annually by our board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors. Presently, we have a single director, Koichi Ishizuka.
Corporate Governance
The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations. The Company has not formally adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and Directors as the Company is not required to do so.
In lieu of an Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors, is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company's financial statements and other services provided by the Company’s independent public accountants. Our sole officer and director reviews the Company's internal accounting controls, practices and policies.
Committees of the Board
Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our director believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the Director can adequately perform the functions of such committees.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the FINRA Rules.
We believe that our Director is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The Director of our Company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the Board of Directors can adequately perform the functions of an audit committee. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent Director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development and the fact that we have not generated any positive cash flows from operations to date.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our sole officer and director has not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
1. bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
2. any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
3. being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his/her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
4. being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
5. Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any Federal or State securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated;
6. Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated;
7. Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of:(i) Any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; or(ii) Any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or(iii) Any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
8. Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.
Independence of Directors
We are not required to have independent members of our Board of Directors, and do not anticipate having independent Directors until such time as we are required to do so.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or Directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.
Shareholder Proposals
Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for Directors. The Board of Directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President, at the address appearing on the first page of this Registration Statement.

Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Under this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares (for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person by reason of such acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual voting power at any particular date.
