Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements

 

1.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(1)Description of Business

 

NS World Co., Ltd. (the Company) was incorporated in 2013, and the Company’s registered office is at 99, Naechuoksu-gil, Bugi-myeon, Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, Republic of Korea. The Company specializes in the manufacture and sale of magnetic components for automobiles and electronic appliances.

 

(2)Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The accounting policies applied by the Company in these unaudited condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

The unaudited condensed interim financial information does not represent complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s latest annual audited financial statements.

 

These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, or for any other interim period or for any other future year.

 

In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial information.

 

(3)Going Concern

 

The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern exists.

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $266,477 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, because of a recent operating loss related to its business operations. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had net negative working capital of $2,082,207 which excludes the cash and cash equivalents of $212,647. Absent any other action, the Company will require additional liquidity to continue its operations over the next 12 months.

 

The Company is evaluating strategies to obtain the required additional funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to, obtaining equity financing, issuing debt or entering other financing arrangements, and restructuring of operations to grow revenues and decrease expenses. However, upon the economic environment and the Company’s current capability, the Company may be unable to access future equity or debt financing when needed. As such, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional liquidity when needed or under acceptable terms, if at all.

 

The unaudited condensed interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

(4)New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted

 

Income Statement (Topic 220) Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The standard requires to disclose disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material effect on its unaudited condensed interim financial statements and has begun evaluating disclosure presentation alternatives.

 

Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20)

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, which becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06. The amendments clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The Company doesn’t expect the impact of the amendments on its unaudited condensed interim financial statements.

 

Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025 for non-public business entities. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material effect on its unaudited condensed interim financial statements.

 

Financial Instruments (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets

 

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”). ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient that all entities can use when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this practical expedient, an entity is allowed to assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods in those years. Entities that elect the practical expedient and, if applicable, make the accounting policy election are required to apply the amendments prospectively. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material effect on its financial statements.

 

The Company has not early adopted any of the forthcoming new or amended accounting standards in preparing these unaudited condensed interim financial statements.

 

2.Significant Risks and Uncertainties Including Business and Credit Concentrations

In addition, the Company has applied the amendments in the ASU No, 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to report segment information in accordance with Topic 280, Segment Reporting.

 

The Company adopted this guidance in ASU 2023-07, and there is no significant impact on the disclosure of the unaudited condensed interim financial statements. The Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CODM”), who reviews the operating results for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that the Company only has one operating and reportable segment.

6.Fair Value Measurements

 

(1)Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are reported in one of three levels reflecting the significant inputs used to determine fair value.

 

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the reporting date.

 

Level 2 - Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. These are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data and may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

 

(2)The following summarizes our financial liabilities that are measured at fair value :

 

   Classification  Measurement
Level
  September 30,
2025
   December 31,
2024
 
(in US dollars)              
Redeemable convertible preferred stock  Financial liabilities  Level 3  $        -    1,007,641 

 

The Company estimated the fair value of redeemable convertible preferred stock using the Tsiveriotis-Fernandes model with strip and bootstrapping method. The fair value is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on stock price volatility of similar listed companies.

 

The change in fair value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock resulted a loss of $11,930 and $275,199 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively, which was recognized in the statements of operations within loss on valuation of redeemable convertible preferred stock. Redeemable convertible shares were converted to common shares during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.

 

(3)The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, commercial paper notes which are included in the account receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

 

Our short-term and long-term debt are recorded at amortized cost. The carrying amount of the long-term debt approximates its fair value as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, due primarily to the interest rates approximating market interest rates.

 

(4)Quantitative information as of December 31, 2024 for the significant unobservable inputs of redeemable convertible preferred stock used to value the Company’s Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value:

 

   Unobservable Inputs  Assumptions  Factors 
           
December 31, 2024  Volatility  Mean of the annual volatility of proxy companies   45.8%
   Risk neutrality probability, max  Dynamic hedge for each node   48.8%

 

As of September 30, 2025, there were no liabilities required to be measured at fair value, as the redeemable convertible preferred stock, which matured in May 2025, was automatically converted into common stock upon maturity.

(5)For the fair value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock, reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the significant unobservable inputs, holding other inputs constant, would have the following effects in the statement of profit or loss.

 

   September 30, 2025 (*)   December 31, 2024

13.Redeemable convertible preferred stock

 

In May 2015, the Company issued 37,500 shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock with a 10-year maturity.

 

The details of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock are as follows:

 

Category   Details
     
Issuance Date   May 22, 2015
Outstanding shares   37,500 shares
Par Value   KRW5,000 (equivalent to $ 3.7)
Issuance Amount   KRW750,000,000 (equivalent to $ 552,934)
Conversion Price   KRW20,000 (equivalent to $ 14.7)
Conversion Period   From the day following the issuance date until 10 years later (Subsequently automatically converted to common stock)
Conversion Ratio  

1 preferred share to 1 common share (certain adjustments may apply based on the IPO offering price)

Redemption Guaranteed Yield   Annual 5.8%
Redemption Claimable Period   After 42 months from the issuance date, until the conversion
Dividends   participating cumulative, annual 1%

 

The conversion ratio of the redeemable convertible preferred stock is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the 2015 agreement such as IPOs, stock dividend, etc., and the additional issuance, by refixing at 70 percent of the initial convertible price as a minimum level. Therefore, the Company classified the redeemable convertible preferred stock as a liability in accordance with ASC 480.

 

The Company evaluates the conversion option of hybrid financial instruments to determine whether certain elements of the option meet the criteria for embedded derivative instruments. The redeemable convertible preferred stock issued by the Company does not meet the definition of embedded derivatives, so the Company has not separated or presented the conversion.

 

In May 2025, the redeemable convertible preferred stock reached the end of its contractual term and was automatically converted into common stock in accordance with the terms of Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement. As a result of the automatic conversion of 37,500 redeemable convertible preferred shares issued in May 2015 (conversion ratio: 1 preferred share to 1 common share, conversion price: KRW 20,000), the total number of issued and outstanding common shares increased to 289,055 as of the conversion date.

14.Stockholders’ Deficit

 

As of September 30, 2025, the Company has 1,043,720 authorized shares, of which 289,055 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding, with a par value KRW 5,000 per share. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had the same 1,043,720 authorized shares, of which 251,555 were common stock and 37,500 were redeemable convertible preferred stock, all issued and outstanding. The redeemable convertible preferred stock was converted into common stock during the current year.

 

Common Stock

 

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share, and to receive dividends and, upon liquidation or dissolution, are entitled to receive all assets available for distribution to stockholders. The holders have no pre-emptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. Common stock is subordinate to the preferred stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up and dissolution of the Company.

 

Accumulated other comprehensive income(loss)

 

Accumulated other comprehensive income(loss) is consist of foreign currency translation adjustments and actuarial gain on net liability of defined benefits. In case of the actuarial gain on liability of defined benefits, it is amortized into net periodic benefits cost on a straight-line basis over the expected average remaining service period of employees.
