NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are the responsibility of the Company's management. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. This disclosure should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2024, including footnotes, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Organization

Hartford Creative Group, Inc. (Formerly name Hartford Great Health Corp.) was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 2, 2008 under the name PhotoAmigo, Inc. It changed its name to Hartford Great Health Corp. on August 22, 2018. On May 11, 2024, the Company further changed its name to Hartford Creative Group, Inc.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary - Hangzhou Hartford Comprehensive Health Management, Ltd ("HZHF) and HZHF's 60percent owned subsidiary - Hangzhou Longjing Qiao Fu Vacation Hotel Co., Ltd. ("HZLJ"), and through Shanghai Hartford Health Management, Ltd. ("HFSH") and its 90percent owned subsidiary - Shanghai Qiao Garden International Travel Agency ("Qiao Garden Int'l Travel"), the Company engages in hospitality industry in China. Qiao Garden Int'l Travel was disposed on December 31, 2020.

The Company engaged in early childhood education industry at Hartford International Education Technology Co., Ltd ("HF Int'l Education") and its subsidiaries setup or acquired.

Impacted by the government regulation implemented in education industry and the restrictions posted by the Chinese government to control the pandemic in China since 2021, to avoid further operation losses, on August 1, 2022, HFSH entered a contract with a related party, Shanghai Oversea Chinese Culture Media Ltd. ("SH Oversea"), to sell 90percent ownership of HF Int'l Education and its subsidiaries for $900(RMB 5,850). On August 1, 2022, HFUS entered a contract with SH Oversea and another individual, to sell 100 percent ownership of HZHF and its subsidiaries for $1,000(RMB 6,500).

Beginning in January 2024, the Company embarked on the development of a new business within the Media and Marketing sector. As part of its rebranding strategy, on January 01, 2024, HFSH changed its legal name from Shanghai Hartford Health Management, Ltd. to Shanghai Hartford ZY Culture Media Ltd. ("HFZY"). HFZY mainly engages in social media advertising business on mainstream social media platforms such as Tik Tok, Toutiao, Kwai, RED, WeChat, and more. As an advertising partner of China's major social media platforms, the Company relies on a high-quality and professional media strategy execution team and network to help customers use the massive media resources of different types of social media platforms and receive competitive prices due to large-scale media resource procurement to purchase media resources. It aims to become one of the total solution advertising providers for domestic social media industry in China and provide customers with vertical integration services from early-stage advertising video creativity, shooting, editing, to advertising operation and management on social media apps. Further expanding its business operations, HFUS reacquired full ownership of HZHF at no cost on April 1, 2024, and subsequently rebranded it as Hangzhou Hartford WP Culture Media Ltd. ("HZWP"). On April 11, 2024, HFUS continued its growth trajectory by establishing a new subsidiary named Shanghai DZ Culture Media Ltd. ("SHDZ"). On June 18, 2024, HFUS successfully completed the acquisition of ShangXing HuoMao Network Technology Ltd. (SXHM). The acquisition was executed at no cost, and there were no significant assets or liabilities exchanged during the transfer.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hartford Creative Group, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling interest. The Company reports noncontrolling interests of the consolidated entities as a component of equity separate from the Company's equity. All material inter-company transactions between and among the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities, the identification and disclosure of impaired assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's net income, net cash flows, or stockholders' equity.

8

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows the five steps approach for revenue recognition under Topic 606: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. Billings to customers for which services are not rendered are considered deferred revenue. The Company's revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products or providing services to a customer. The Company's general payment terms are short-term in duration. The Company does not have significant financing components or payment terms.

The Company is developing business plan and aim to provide customers with vertical integration services from early-stage advertising video creativity, shooting, editing, to advertising operation and management on social media apps. Most of the advertising revenue will be generated by placing ad products on Tik Tok, Toutiao, Kwai, RED, WeChat, and other third-party affiliated websites and mobile applications. Currently, the Company provides traffic acquisition service to place the advertisements produced by the advertisers. The advertisements are published on the targeted media platforms as determined by the customers. Besides, the Company provides advertisements account charging service to customers upon the request from customers. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the distribution of advertisements and charging of advertisement accounts are completed upon the completion confirmation from customers and suppliers.

During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company has provided advertising placement services to 15 customers and received approximately RMB 34.4million (USD 4.8million) as advanced payment from these customers. The Company also acquired advertising placement services from 28 suppliers and prepaid RMB 29.4million (USD 4.1million). During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company recognized USD 0.5million revenue from the advertisement placement services. The advertisements are published on the targeted media platforms as determined by the customers. The Company is not the principal in this arrangement as the Company does not control the specified service (i.e., the traffic) before that service is delivered to the customer, because (i) it is the targeted media platform, rather than the Company, who is primarily responsible for providing the media publishing service; (ii) the media platforms are identified and determined by the customers, rather than the Company, and the Company does not commit to acquire the traffic before transferring to the customers. Therefore, the Company is not the principal in executing these transactions. The Company reports the amount received from the customers and the amounts paid to the media suppliers related to these transactions on a net basis.

In the comparable period in prior year, impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and Chinese regulation on education industry, both early childhood education services and hospitality services have been sold on August 1, 2022, and the advertising revenue has not started until January 2024. Thus, there was no revenue recognized for the three months ended October 31, 2023.

Segment Reporting

The Company uses the management approach in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company's chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company's reportable segments. During the reporting periods, the Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker. The Company's chief operating decision maker regularly reviews consolidated assets and consolidated operating results prepared under U.S. GAAP for the enterprise as a whole when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. Consequently, management has determined that the Company only has one operating segment as defined under ASC 280-10-50.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

Recently not yet adopted accounting pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The new guidance requires enhanced disclosures about income tax expenses. The Company is required to adopt this guidance in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2026. Early adoption is permitted on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our annual income tax disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The new guidance requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company is required to adopt this guidance for its annual reporting in fiscal year 2025 and for interim period reporting beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our segment disclosures.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of obligations in the normal course of business. As of October 31, 2024, The Company had a working capital deficit of $3,482,524and an accumulated deficit of $5,783,574. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of Hartford Creative Group, Inc. to continue as a going concern.

In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon several factors, including the availability of debt or equity funding upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Company, and ultimately achieving profitable operations. Management believes that the Company's business plan provides it with an opportunity to continue as a going concern. However, management cannot provide assurance that the Company will meet its objectives and be able to continue in operation.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3. CURRENT LOAN RECEIVABLE

During July and August 2024, the Company loaned $814,847(RMB 5,800,000) to an unrelated party at a 3% interest rate, maturing within 12 months.

Plan of Operation

After years of experience in education and hospitality, the Company shifted its focus in January 2024 to social media advertising. On January 10, 2024, HFSH changed its legal name from Shanghai Hartford Health Management, Ltd. to Hartford ZY Culture Media (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., hereon refer to as "HFZY". On June 18, 2024, the Company successfully completed the acquisition of ShangXing HuoMao Network Technology Ltd. (SXHM). HFZY and SXHM started to deliver media and advertisement services. The pent-up demand from social media influencers' marketing needs on social media apps lead the Company to seize the opportunity in providing advertisement services. the Company begins to engage in social media advertising business on mainstream social media platforms such as Tik Tok, Toutiao, Kwai, RED, WeChat, and more. As an advertising partner of China's major social media platforms, it aims to provide customers with vertical integration services from early-stage advertising video creativity, photograph shooting, editing, to advertising operation and management on social media apps. The Company will also gradually launch overseas TikTok advertising campaign, providing social media advertising solutions for domestic Chinese customers to engage in international markets in the United States.

During the three months ended October 31, 2024, the Company recognized USD 0.5 million net revenue from the advertisement placement services. The Company provides service to place advertisements. The advertisements are published on the targeted media platforms as determined by the customers. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the placement of advertisements is completed. As disclosed in Note 1 under category "Revenue Recognition", the Company is not the principal in executing these transactions. The Company reports the amount received from the customers and the amounts paid to the media platforms or upside agent related to these transactions on a net basis. The Company expects the number of customers to grow and the advertising service revenue will significantly increase in the next few months due to the vast demand in social media advertising services.

Based on market research and discussions among the Board and third-party suppliers and experts, the Company has further developed a plan of mini-drama business. The Company is strategically positioned to capture considerable market interest and enhance revenue streams from our innovative mini-drama business. While initial steps toward this ambitious goal have been initiated, it is important to note that the commencement and future success of the mini-drama venture are not yet guaranteed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of October 31, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $3,482,524 comprised of current assets of $1,723,082 and current liabilities of $5,205,606. This represents a decrease of $83,441 in the working capital deficit from the July 31, 2024 amount of $3,565,965 . We had an accumulated deficit of $5,783,574 compared to $5,910,843 at the previous year end. To date, we have funded our operations through short-term debt and equity financing.

As of October 31, 2024, the Company has issued a total of 100,108,000 shares of common stock. On December 11, 2018, 96,090,000 shares of common stock were issued at the price of $0.02 per share to raise an additional $1,921,800 in capital.

We will seek additional financing in the form of debt or equity. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain any needed financing on favorable terms, or at all, or that we will find qualified purchasers for the sale of our stock. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, we will be required to delay or forego some of our business plan, which would have a material adverse effect on our anticipated results from operations and financial condition. Any sales of our securities would dilute the ownership of our existing investors.

Future Capital Expenditures

We believe that our funding requirements for the next twelve months will be in excess of $2,000,000. We are currently seeking further funding through related parties' loan and finance.

We are currently engaging consultants to evaluate and facilitate the potential uplisting of the Company's stock from the OTC market to the Nasdaq exchange. If all conditions align favorably, the Company intends to secure financing through either debt or equity. The funds raised will be allocated to cover the expenses associated with the uplisting process.
