Changes in the observable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments. A significant increase (decrease) in this likelihood would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.

During 2021, the Company exercised 232,000,000 of the warrants to purchase 232,000,000 shares of HIPH for the total consideration of $232,000, leaving the balance of outstanding warrants of 988,390,000 at December 31, 2022. The Company did not exercise any warrants during three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025. We value HIPH warrants under level 3 category through a Black Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of the warrants from HIPH was $973 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

 

The fair value of the HIPH warrants under level 3 category as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was calculated using a Black-Scholes valuation model valued with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

   March 31, 2026   December 31, 2025 
         
Stock Price  $0.0001   $0.0001 
Exercise price  $0.001   $0.001 
Risk free interest rate   4.62%   4.62%
Annualized volatility   869.4%   869.4%
Dividend Yield  $0.00   $0.00 
Year to maturity   4.31    4.56

On March 20, 2024, HWH International Inc., entered into a securities purchase agreement with SHRG, pursuant to which HWH purchased from SHRG a (i) Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $250,000, convertible into 148,810 shares of SHRG’s common stock at the option of HWH, and (ii) certain warrants exercisable into 148,810 shares of SHRG’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.68 per share, the exercise period of the warrant being five (5) years from the date of the securities purchase agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000. At the time of this filing, HWH has not converted any of the debt contemplated by the Convertible Note nor exercised any of the warrants. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the warrants was $7 and $12, respectively.

 

The fair value of the 148,810 SHRG warrants under level 2 category as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, was calculated using binomial option pricing model valued with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

   March 31, 2026   December 31, 2025 
         
Stock price  $0.0222   $0.0230

On March 31, 2025, HWH entered into a securities purchase agreement with the SHRG, pursuant to which SHRG issued a convertible promissory note to HWH in the amount of $150,000. This SHRG Convertible Note is convertible into SHRG’s common stock at $0.80 per share at HWH’s option until maturity three (3) years from the date of the securities purchase agreement. In addition, SHRG granted HWH warrants exercisable into 937,500 shares of SHRG’s common stock. The warrants may be exercised for three (3) years from the date of the securities purchase agreement at an exercise price of $0.85 per share. At the time of this filing, HWH has not converted any of the debt contemplated by the Convertible Note nor exercised any of the warrants. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the warrants was $47 and $75, respectively.

 

The fair value of the 937,500 SHRG warrants under level 2 category as of March 31, 2026, was calculated using binomial option pricing model valued with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

   March 31, 2026   December 31, 2025 
         
Stock price  $0.0222   $0.0230 
Exercise price  $0.8500   $0.8500 
Risk free interest rate   3.79%   3.49%
Annualized volatility   403.62%   390.99%
Dividend Yield  $0.00   $0.00 
Year to maturity   2.00    2.25 

 

Convertible Loan Receivables

 

The Company has elected to recognize the convertible loan receivables at fair value and therefore there was no further evaluation of embedded features for bifurcation. The Company engaged third party valuation firm to perform the valuation of convertible loans. The fair value of the convertible loans is calculated using the binomial tree model based on probability of remaining as straight debt using discounted cash flow.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reclassified some of “Convertible Loan Receivables – Related Party” from current assets to noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, based on management’s assessment of the expected holding period. This change in classification had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, or shareholders’ equity.
