Review of results for the year
MOH achieved record highs in both its revenue and net profit. For the fiscal year ending 31 March 2024, MOH reported revenue of JPY 11,107 million and a profit before tax of JPY 3,174 million, reflecting substantial year-on-year growth of 99% and 334%, respectively. MOH's financial results reflect change in the revenue model from 1 April 2023 as described below and management's clear operational priorities centered around driving revenue and controlling costs.
Following the period under review, on 19 August 2024, the Company achieved a significant milestone with its shares being successfully readmitted to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and recommencing trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange pursuant to a reverse takeover of the Company by MOH.
Revenue
Fees from Crowdfunding:
Revenue from crowdfunding fees increased by 98%, rising from JPY 3,732 million in FY23 to JPY 7,404 million in FY24. This surge is primarily due to the change in the revenue model, which took place on 1 April 2023, from MOH receiving a fixed fee of JPY 120 million per month to it receiving 10% of the land transfer price paid by Toshi-Souken Invest Fund Inc. ("TSIF"). The land transfer price represents the estimated costs of the commercialisation work performed by MOH as well as construction costs outsourced by Toshi-Souken Invest Bank Inc. ("TSIB") and/or MOH to finalise the project and any ancillary fees and expenses incurred and expected to be incurred.
Fees from Real Estate Development:
During FY24, MOH collaborated with TSIB on the commercialisation, development, and sale of land from the 'Narita No.16 series', 'Narita No.17 series' and 'Narita No.18 series'. MOH retained a 5% (FY23: 2%) share of total land sales, contributing JPY 3,702 million in revenue, almost doubling the amount compared to FY23. The corresponding cost of land sold in FY23 was JPY 2,648 million.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A")
SG&A for FY24 amounted to JPY 5,354 million (FY23: JPY 4,903 million), an increase of 9.2% compared to the prior fiscal year. SG&A was predominantly driven by advertising and promotional expenses, which totaled JPY 4,908 million (FY23: JPY 4,550 million), representing 92% of total SG&A (FY23: 92%). Personnel expenses, accounting for 4% of SG&A (FY23: 4%), rose to JPY 189 million, reflecting MOH's ongoing business expansion. The significant increase in advertising costs is aligned with MOH's higher fundraising activities during the period under review.
Profit before tax
Combined, the above gave rise to an underlying profit before tax for the year of JPY 3,174 million, an increase of 4.3 times on the prior year (FY23: JPY 731 million) and resulting in a profit margin of 28.6%, up by 15.5 points on last year's margin of 13.1%.
Non-current assets
Non-current assets, including property, plant, equipment, software, guarantee deposits, and lease assets, decreased by 22% in FY24 compared to FY23. The primary driver for this decline was the refund of guarantee deposits amounting to JPY 500 million, as MOH was no longer required to place deposits to secure credit limits.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents experienced a notable increase, rising from JPY 349 million in FY23 to JPY 7,251 million in FY24. This growth was predominantly driven by the strong net profit generated by MOH during the fiscal year. This in turn was a result of the change in contractual terms from a fixed fee of JPY 120 million per month to 10% of the land transfer price paid by TSIF for MOH's crowdfunding activities mentioned earlier in this report.
Advance payments
The balance primarily includes prepayments for upcoming advertising campaigns amounting to JPY 177 million, alongside gift card expenses totaling JPY 5 million. The increase is largely attributable to forthcoming marketing initiatives.
Prepaid expenses
The increase in prepaid expenses from JPY48 million in FY23 to JPY 320 million in FY24 was mainly driven by the prepayment for establishment of the industrial real estate cold-chain logistics business of JPY 191 million and purchase of gift cards of JPY 81 million.
Income tax payable
The increase in taxable income in FY24 resulted in a significant increase in the corporate income tax charge for the year and the year-end creditor position.
Cash flow
Net cash increased from JPY 349 million in FY23 to JPY 7,251 million in FY24. The main components of the change in net cash position were:
· a JPY 6,395 million net cash inflow from operating activities (FY23: JPY 1521 million net cash outflow); and
· a JPY 506 million net cash inflow from investing activities (FY23: outflow of JPY 1,103 million), with the refund of guarantee deposits of JPY 500 million.
The major driver of the increase in JPY 6,395 million net cash inflow from operating activities in the year was the increase in the profit from operations, which contributed a JPY 1,963 million increase in cash. This was further increased by net cash inflow from working capital and provisions of JPY 4,431 million.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share for MOH in FY24 was JPY 6,333, representing an increase of 3.9 times on the prior year (FY23: JPY 1,630) driven by the substantial increase in underlying profits. (Details on the basic and diluted earnings per share are provided in Note 9 in the Notes to the financial information).
Risks
The principal risks and uncertainties associated with the business and operations of MOH are set out in the prospectus of the Company dated 31 July 2024. The Directors believe that these risks and uncertainties remain relevant to the business at the time of finalising these FY24 accounts.

Notes to the financial information
1. General Information
MINNADEOOYASAN-HANBAI Co., Ltd. ("MOH") was incorporated in August 1998 as a limited company, and has its registered office at 3F Grace Kojimachi, 12-3, Nibancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. Tokyo, Japan.
MOH's primary business activity revolves around serving as a funding platform that facilitates and arranges real estate crowdfunding activities in Japan. Real estate crowdfunding is a fundraising method limited to operators authorised under the "Act on Specified Joint Real Estate Ventures." Through this method, businesses can raise funds from investors online and utilise the accumulated funds as capital for engaging in real estate transactions. This segment accounted for 67 per cent. of the total revenues as of 31 March 2024.
Commencing from the fiscal year 2022 (01/04/2021-31/03/2022), MOH has broadened its operations to encompass the independent preparation, development, purchase, and sale of real estate properties.
Beginning in the fiscal year 2023 (01/04/2022-31/03/2023), MOH has entered into a "Joint Business Agreement" with its group company, TSIB and TSIF, wherein MOH will engage in the development, purchase, and sale of real estate properties in collaboration with TSIB, and sell the real estate to TSIF. This segment is referred to as "Revenue from Real Estate Joint Development Business."
During the 2023 fiscal year, MOH shared 2 per cent. of the revenue generated from the Real Estate Joint Development Business, and MOH's share increases to 5 per cent. for the 2024 fiscal year, with a further increase in its share to 10 per cent. commencing from the 2025 fiscal year. As of 31 March 2024, the revenue from Real Estate Joint Development Business constituted 33 per cent. of the total revenues.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of Accounting
Currency
MOH maintains its books and records 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 statement of profit or loss.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of MOH for each of the two years ended 31 March 2024 were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan (J GAAP) as issued by the Accounting Standards Board of Japan and were audited by AKASAKA・KAIO Certified Public Accountants Joint Firm, 307 Ichigaya Hoso Building, 4-1-5 Kudan-kita, Chiyoda-Ku, Tokyo.
Adjustments were made where necessary to present this financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including IFRIC interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European Union and with those parts of the Act applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied.
The preparation of financial information in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying MOH's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Although these estimates are based on management's experience and knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
2.2 Going concern
This financial information has been prepared on the assumption that MOH is a going concern. When assessing the foreseeable future, the MOH Directors, being Makoto Oguma, Hoken Yanase and Hiromitsu Sakai, have looked at a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of this report and the working capital requirements of MOH.
After making enquiries, the MOH Directors firmly believe that together with their support, MOH has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial information.
2.3 New and amended standards adopted by MOH

Management has not yet fully assessed the impact of these standards but does not believe they will have a material impact on the financial statements.
2.4 Segmental Reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the MOH Directors. MOH's primary reporting format is determined by the geographical segment according to the location of its establishments. There is currently only one geographic reporting segment, which is Japan. All revenue and costs are derived from the single geographic segment.
2.5 Leases
MOH leases buildings and equipment.
Right-of-use assets
The right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of the lease (when the asset is ready for use) and initially measured at cost. The cost includes the balance of the lease liability recognised, initial direct costs and lease payments made at or before the commencement date. In subsequent periods, the value of the right-of-use assets is adjusted for accumulated depreciation, impairment losses and remeasurement of the lease liability, if any. The depreciation is on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the underlying asset and the lease term.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date, lease liabilities are measured at the net present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, when not available, the incremental borrowing rate computed for a group of leases with similar characteristics as regards to type of asset, lease term, contract currency and economic environment. The carrying amount of the lease liabilities is subsequently increased to reflect the interest on the lease liability and decreased by the lease payments made during the period. Lease payments are split between principal elements and interest and are allocated to net cash flows from financing activities and operating activities, respectively. The carrying amount is subject to remeasurement in subsequent periods to reflect any lease modifications.
2.6 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'.
MOH recognises revenue at the amount to which it expects to be entitled when control of the real estate or services is transferred to its customers. Control is generally transferred when MOH has a present right to payment and title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products or services are transferred to its customers.
Specifically, MOH's revenue consists of Fundraising Commission Fee and Sales of Real Estate or Real Estate Joint Development Business. Concerning the Fundraising Commission Fee, control is transferred when customers sign the agreement, and funds are subsequently transferred by the customers. For Sales of Real Estate or Real Estate Joint Development Business, control is transferred on the effective date of the Transaction Contract for real estate. Payments for Fundraising Commission Fee, Sales of Real Estate, or Real Estate Joint Development Business are collected within a short period following the transfer of control which is deemed to be the fulfilment of the performance obligations or the commencement of the delivery of services, as applicable.
Cost of sales related to delivered real estate, including land development costs, and building construction costs are recognised as cost of sales as incurred.
MOH adopted IFRS 15-Revenue from contracts with customers: (1) Identify the contract; (2) Identify separate performance obligations; (3) Determine the transaction price; (3) Allocate transaction price to performance obligations; (5) Recognise revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

2.7 Financial assets and liabilities
Recognition and initial measurement
MOH initially recognises loans and advances, trade and other receivables/payables, and borrowings plus or minus transactions costs when and only when MOH becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets at amortised cost
MOH's financial assets at amortised cost comprise trade and other receivables. These represent debt instruments with fixed or determinable payments that represent principal or interest and where the intention is to hold to collect these contractual cash flows.
They are initially recognised at fair value, included in current and non-current assets, depending on the nature of the transaction, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any provision for impairment.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Financial liabilities at amortised cost comprise trade and other payables. They are classified as current and non-current liabilities depending on the nature of the transaction and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Financial assets
MOH derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which MOH neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset (or the carrying amount allocated to the portion of the asset derecognised) and the sum of (i) the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and (ii) any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
MOH derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.
2.8 Cash and cash equivalents
In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from acquisition and subject to insignificant risk of changes in value and bank overdrafts.
2.9 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
2.10 Property, plant, equipment and software
Property, plant, equipment and software are stated at historical cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to MOH and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation on Property, plant, equipment and software are calculated using the straight-line method to write off their cost over their estimated useful lives.
Non-current assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is based on the present value of the future cash flows relating to the asset and is determined over periods which are deemed to appropriately reflect the minimum expected period that the cash generating unit will operate for.
The estimated useful lives of assets are as follows:
Buildings: 47 years
Plant and equipment: 10 years
Furniture and fixtures: 3 - 15 years
lump-sum depreciable asset: 3 years
2.11 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. MOH's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where MOH is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which MOH expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
2.12 Trade and other receivables
MOH assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its receivables carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, MOH applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, resulting in trade receivables recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts based on expected credit losses. The simplified approach uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. Expected credit losses are recognised from initial recognition based on MOH's historical credit loss experience, factors specific to each receivable, the current economic climate and expected changes in forecasts of future events.
Changes in expected credit losses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Comprehensive Income.
2.13 Intangible assets
Intangible fixed assets are stated at cost, whether purchased or developed internally, net of amortisation and any provision for impairment. Amortisation is calculated to write down the cost of all intangible fixed assets to their estimated residual value by equal annual instalments over their expected useful economic lives.
Software 3 - 15 years
Amortisation is charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements
MOH makes certain judgements and estimates which affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities. Critical judgements and the assumptions used in calculating estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In the process of applying MOH's accounting policies, which are described above, the MOH Directors do not believe that they have had to make any assumptions or judgements that would have a material effect on the amounts recognised in the financial information.
4. Financial Risk Management
MOH's activities may expose it to some financial risks. MOH's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on MOH's financial performance.
(a) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that MOH will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The responsibility for liquidity risks management rest with the board of directors of MOH, which has established appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of MOH's short term and long-term funding risks management requirements. During the period under review, MOH has not utilised any borrowing facilities. MOH manages liquidity risks by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
(b) Capital risk
MOH takes great care to protect its capital investments. Significant due diligence is undertaken prior to making any investment. The investment is closely monitored.
Financial risk management of financial instruments
All financial instruments are measured at amortised cost. Fair value hierarchy all the financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the financial statements which are short-term in nature are shown at the carrying value which also approximates the fair values of those financial instruments. Therefore, no separate disclosure for fair value hierarchy is required.
MOH's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, mainly credit risk and liquidity risk.
Market risk is defined as the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. MOH's market risks arise from open positions in (a) interest bearing assets and liabilities, and (b) foreign currencies; to the extent that these are exposed to general and specific market movements (see details below).
(i) Interest rate risk: MOH's interest-bearing assets comprise of only cash and cash equivalents. As MOH's interest-bearing assets do not generate significant amounts of interest; changes in market interest rates do not have any significant direct effect on its income.
Credit risk: Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to MOH. Credit risk arises from cash balances (including bank deposits, cash and cash equivalents) and credit exposures to trade receivables. MOH's maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and other receivables.
Liquidity risk: Trade and other payables are monitored as part of normal management routine. Borrowings and other liabilities mature according to the following schedule:

The deferred tax liability occurred when the interim corporate income tax payment was declared on 29 November 2022. When the corporate income tax finalisation was filed on 30 June 2023, MOH revealed the occurrence of an overpayment of interim tax returns. Therefore, when the tax return was filed, it was allocated to the deferred tax liability and the business tax refund was processed at the rate of 34.59 per cent.

Notes:
Tax amount on final tax return omits amount numbers below JPY1,000;
Tax amount on final tax return include the income tax deduction of JPY4,278;
"The nominal tax rate is simply the sum of the tax rates for corporate taxes and other taxes specified by law. In contrast, the effective tax rate is used to calculate a tax payment amount that is more in line with the actual situation based on the nominal tax rate."
1. The tax rate of 30.62 per cent. is the statutory tax rate for corporations subject to pro forma standard taxation (ordinary corporations with paid-in capital exceeding JPY 100 million), assuming that they have offices in the 23 wards of Tokyo, but MOH applies the effective tax rate for corporations with paid-in capital of JPY 100 million or less (based on excess tax rate), so the tax rates are different.
2. Regarding the difference in tax rates in 2024, according to the corporate tax return, MOH's taxable income in 2024 is JPY 3,192,288,573. The taxes incurred by MOH are calculated at the effective tax rate (based on excess tax rate) for corporations with capital of JPY 100 million or less in Japan, using the following tax rates
- Corporate tax rate of 23.2 per cent. (Small and medium-sized corporations with capital of JPY 100 million or less and income of JPY 8 million or less are subject to a reduced tax rate of 15 per cent.). JPY 1,200,000 for corporate tax on taxable income of JPY 8 million or less, JPY 739,950,500 for corporate tax on taxable income of JPY 8 million or more.
- Local corporate tax rate of 2.39 per cent.: JPY 76,215,200
- Prefectural corporate tax rate 2.41 per cent.: JPY 75,433,200
-Business tax rate of 7.48 per cent.: JPY 238,560,500
- Special corporate business tax rate of 2.59 per cent.: JPY 82,602,900
- The total was JPY 1,212,762,300. Adding the income tax deduction and municipal tax, the total tax amount is JPY 1,214,944,800. This was the tax amount before any adjustments were made. Therefore, this tax rate was correctly calculated without applying tax effect accounting.

10. Capital risk management
The MOH Directors' objectives when managing capital are to safeguard MOH's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. At the date of this financial information, MOH had been financed by the introduction of capital. In the future, the capital structure of MOH is expected to consist of borrowings and equity attributable to equity holders of MOH.

There was no capital expenditure contracted for at the end of the reporting periods but not yet incurred.
24. Ultimate controlling party
As at the balance sheet date, MOH is 97.41 per cent. owned by Kyosei Bank Co., Ltd. ("KBC"), and KBC is 100 per cent. owned by Mr. Kenichi Yanase, so the ultimate controlling party of MOH is Mr. Kenichi Yanase. Since KBC owns 97.41 per cent. of MOH, KBC is the parent company of MOH as at the balance sheet date.
25. Events after the reporting period
(a) Business suspension
MOH has been subject to one (30 day) suspension ruling from 21 June 2024 to 20 July 2024. The ruling was stayed following an appeal but the suspension period was reinstated and commenced on 28 June 2024 with the end date remaining 20 July 2024.
MOH was notified of the 30-day suspension by the relevant Tokyo Government department on 17 June 2024. It was with regard to the provision of a TSIF FTK product concerning a specific land parcel ("Narita 16") within the Narita Project in May 2023 where, following a review of the development plan, TSIF and MOH sent an updated "Status Report on the Tomoiki Japan Gateway Narita Project" to investors. However, this document was deemed by the Governor of Osaka Prefecture and the Governor of Tokyo not to constitute an adequate explanation of the change in plan and therefore the decision to impose a penalty in the form of a suspension.
TSIF was also subject to suspension from 18 June 2024 to 17 July 2024 (being the operator and asset manager that sold the FTK products to investors). TSIF also experienced a short stay of execution but is also suspended until 17 July 2024.
Following the incident, MOH and TSIF continue to improve regular employee training and ongoing educational programmes, as well as thoroughly implementing refresher courses relating to the directives of regulatory authorities to prevent the issues going forward. The MOH Directors believe that the three-week suspension is not expected to have any material adverse impact on working capital.
(b) The Company was successfully admitted to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and commenced trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange through a reverse takeover by MOH. Full details of the transaction including terms of the sale and purchase agreement, related party transactions and ancillary transaction documents entered into by MOH can be found in Part X of the Company's prospectus dated 31 July 2024.

Ownership relationship of related parties
As at the balance sheet date, the relationship between Kyosei Bank Co., Ltd ("KBC") and Minnadeooyasan-Hanbai Co., Ltd is known as a "parent-subsidiary relationship," where KBC directly owns 97.26 per cent. (as of 31 March 2024) of MOH's outstanding common shares, making MOH a subsidiary of KBC.
Toshi-Souken Invest Bank Inc ("TSIB") directly owns 100 per cent. of the outstanding common stock of Toshi-Souken Invest Fund Inc ("TSIF"), and TSIF is a subsidiary of TSIB. Since TSIB is also a subsidiary of KBC, TSIF is recognised as a subsidiary of KBC as well.
As at the balance sheet date, MOH, TSIB, and TSIF are all considered subsidiaries of KBC because KBC directly or indirectly owns more than 50 per cent. of their outstanding shares.
Transactions with related parties during and subsequent to the reporting period
Joint Business Agreement and Addendum to the Joint Business Agreement
On 1 January 2024 MOH, TSIF and TSIB entered into the Joint Business Agreement which sets out the terms and conditions pursuant to which MOH and TSIB may purchase and develop real estate to be purchased by TSIF ("Subject Property") as well as the right to provide other services to TSIF including crowdfunding services and other assistance work including agent sales activities, management of participants and new customers, advertising and marketing, keeping of records and other incidental work (together, "TSIF Assistance Work") in connection with specified joint real estate ventures ("FTKs") governed by the Act on Specified Joint Real Estate Ventures (1994) (Japan) ("FTK Act") to raise funds from investors for TSIF for the Subject Property. This agreement sets out the responsibilities of each of MOH and TSIB in connection with such services.
The Joint Business Agreement requires that TSIB either solely or jointly with MOH purchase real estate and carry out development and other work (together, "Commercialisation Work") to prepare the real estate for sale to TSIF for it to become Subject Property. If either MOH or TSIB carry out the Commercialisation Work solely then that party alone effects the sale of the Subject Property to TSIF.
In addition, the Joint Business Agreement authorises MOH to carry out TSIF Assistance Work for and on behalf of TSIF. TSIF is then entitled to enter into contracts ("FTK Contracts"), to raise funds for the purchase of real estate, that stipulate that: (1) one party contributes to (or invests into) the real estate property transactions being executed by the other party; (2) that the other party undertakes real estate property transactions using the investment; and (3) and that the returns generated from those real estate property transactions will be distributed. TSIF is required to then own, manage and operate such real estate. The purchase price paid for the real estate is to be agreed by the parties on a case by case basis.
The Joint Business Agreement ratifies and confirms the exclusive right granted to TSIB for TSIB and/or MOH to sell real estate to TSIF (Exclusive Sales Rights). In terms of profit distribution the Joint Business Agreement provides that if TSIB and MOH jointly provide Commercialisation Work, TSIB and MOH shall jointly sell such Subject Property to TSIF with the profit (being the sum of the sale price of the real estate less the purchase cost of such real estate) being allocated 90 per cent. to TSIB and 10 per cent. to MOH. For sales effected between 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 the profit allocation was 95 per cent. to TSIB and 5 per cent. to MOH. The payment of such profit shall be made on the same date that TSIF is required to pay the purchase price for the real estate as set out in the relevant sale agreement.
MOH shall also be entitled to be paid for TSIF Assistance Work which is contracted to MOH by TSIF. TSIB shall pay (on behalf of TSIF) MOH an amount equivalent to 10 per cent. of the sale price of the real estate paid by TSIF. This fee is due and payable at the end of the month falling 3 months after the conclusion of the sale contract of the relevant real estate.
In addition, the agreement provides that MOH is entitled to exclusively develop cold-chain facilities (including food processing facilities and frozen/refrigerated warehouses utilising the HybridICE patented freezing technology owned by FrostiX, a technology company based in Tokyo that is 75.8 per cent. owned by KBC). In such case, MOH is not required to share any of the profits or commissions paid to it by TSIF with TSIB or any other party.
Pursuant to an addendum to the Joint Business Agreement dated 11 June 2024 made between MOH, TSIF and TSIB, the parties have agreed that in the event TSIF receives any funding directly from investors through a software application known as "Minnadeooyasan Mini" or "MINI", which is owned and operated by TSIF and was developed in conjunction with MOH to target smaller size investors and introduce them to the FTK product range: (i) any capital raised by TSIF will be used to acquire real estate from only MOH and/or TSIB; and (ii) MOH will continue to receive fees in relation to Commercialisation Work and TSIF Assistance Work. MOH has also been granted an option to acquire the application from TSIF at any time during the duration of the Joint Business Agreement at a price equal to the development costs, application fees and any maintenance fees paid by TSIF in respect of MINI.
The Joint Business Agreement cannot be assigned by any party without the prior consent of the other parties. The term of the Joint Business Agreement is 30 years from the date of the agreement which cannot be terminated by any party save in the event that a party has breached the provision relating to anti-social forces. The Tokyo District Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction for any disputes in relation to this agreement.
The Supplemental Agreement to the Joint Business Agreement ("Supplemental Agreement")
On 5 March 2024 MOH, TSIF and TSIB entered into the Supplemental Agreement which provided that if; (i) TSIB ceases to exist as a legal entity by reason of insolvency, dissolution or liquidation or otherwise ceases to trade; (ii) TSIB loses its status as a party to the Joint Business Agreement; or (iii) any other circumstances occur that extinguish or restrict TSIB's Exclusive Sales Rights to TSIF and/or restricts MOH's ability to participate under the terms of the Joint Business Agreement, TSIF shall automatically following written notice from MOH to TSIF, directly and irrevocably and fully grant to MOH the Exclusive Sales Rights (on the same terms as granted to TSIB) to sell real estate to TSIF. The Joint Business Agreement as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement is governed by the laws of Japan and the Tokyo District Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction for any disputes in relation to this agreement.
As TSIB is MOH's primary customer and partner, MOH receives commissions and a share of the selling of real estate from TSIB. In the fiscal year 2024, the guarantee deposit balance of 1 billion JPY made by MOH to TSIB for the 'Exclusive Sales Rights' remains unchanged. Despite an increase in transaction amounts between TSIB and MOH, the accounts receivable balance decreased from JPY 2.38 billion at the end of March 2023 to JPY 633.9 million in the 2024 fiscal year.
The transactions between TSIF and MOH mainly involve reimbursed expenses for shared services. Details of related party shared services agreements can be found at paragraph 10.13 of Part X of the Company's prospectus dated 31 July 2024.
In the 2024 fiscal year, the transactions between KBC and MOH consist of reimbursed expenses for shared services.
MOH has developed the "Regulations on Related Party Transactions," which were approved by the Board on 31 January 2024, and became effective on 1 February 2024. It is expected that there will be fewer related party transactions in the future.
Related party note disclosures:
Receivables from related parties arising from MOH's trading activity are stated net of expected credit loss ('ECL') provisions where necessary, which are calculated using the simplified approach grouping receivables and contract assets on the basis of their shared credit risk characteristics and the similar nature of their underlying contracts as well as the days past due of the debts.
As a result, receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts based on expected credit losses. Where the carrying value of an assets exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are taken to the income statement and are presented as losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to operating profit.
MOH monitors the level of receivables on a monthly basis, continually assessing the risk of default by any counterparty.
The MOH Directors believe the credit risk attached to its customer base is relatively low. Debts from MOH's trading activity which reach 6 months overdue are considered to be in default. Based on their assessment as described above, management consider that a policy of providing for all receivables more than 6 months old provides a sufficient basis to provide for expected credit losses.
