ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
Factors
that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described below and
those described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K. Any of these factors could result in a significant or
material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that
we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, other than
as set forth below, there were no material changes to the risks and uncertainties described in the section titled “Risk Factors”
in Part I, Item 1A of the Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.
We
have a history of losses, expect to continue to incur losses in the near term and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future,
and as a result, our management has identified and our auditors reported that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern.
We intend to
rely on debt and equity financing for working capital until positive cash flows from operations can be achieved, which may never occur.
These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Based upon our current operating plan and assumptions,
we expect that our existing cash balances and expected cash flows from operations, alongside the continuance of our existing financing
arrangements, will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months, excluding financing to support production (i.e.
timing of working capital). However, our operating plan may change, and our assumptions may prove to be wrong, as a result of many factors
currently unknown to us, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we expect. We may need to seek additional funds
sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings or other third-party funding or a combination of these approaches.
Even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital if market conditions
are favorable or based upon specific strategic considerations.
Any
additional capital-raising efforts may divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business. In addition, we cannot
guarantee that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to
obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, when and if we require it, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations,
which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The
report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 contains a going concern explanatory paragraph in which such firm stated that there is
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly
report do not include any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue
as a going concern, holders of our securities might lose their entire investment. These factors, among others, may make it difficult
to raise any additional capital and may cause us to be unable to continue to operate our business.

Our
financial results and ability to grow our business may be negatively impacted by global events beyond our control.
We
operate distribution and warehousing facilities and offices around the world and substantially all of our manufacturers are located outside
of the United States. We are subject to numerous risks and global events beyond our control which could negatively impact consumer spending
or our own operations or operations of our customers or business partners, and therefore our results of operations, including: changes
in diplomatic and trade relationships, trade policy or actions of foreign or U.S. governmental authorities impacting trade and foreign
investment; inflation; military conflict; political or labor unrest; terrorism; public health crises, disease epidemics or pandemics;
natural disasters and extreme weather conditions, which may increase in frequency and severity due to climate change; economic instability
resulting in the disruption of trade from foreign countries; the imposition of new laws, regulations and rules, including those relating
to sustainability and climate change, data privacy, labor conditions, minimum wage, quality and safety standards and disease epidemics
or other public health concerns; and changes in local economic conditions in countries where our stores, customers, manufacturers and
suppliers are located.
These
risks could hamper our ability to sell products, negatively affect the ability of our manufacturers to produce or deliver our products
or procure materials and increase our cost of doing business generally, any of which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations,
profitability, cash flows and financial condition. In the event that one or more of these factors make it undesirable or impractical
for us to conduct business in a particular country, our business could be adversely affected.
We
rely on a limited number of third-party suppliers to provide high quality raw materials.
Our
products require high quality raw materials, including down, softshell, wool, neoprene, and cotton. We do not manufacture our products
or the raw materials for them and rely instead on suppliers. Many of the specialty fabrics used in our products are technically advanced
textile products developed and manufactured by third parties and may be available, in the short-term, from only one or a limited number
of sources. We have no long-term contracts with any of our suppliers or manufacturers for the production and supply of our raw materials
and products, and we compete with other companies for fabrics, other raw materials, and production.
We work with a group of approximately
31 vendors that manufacture our products, one of which produced products in the three months ended June 30, 2026. During the three month
ended June 30, 2026, the largest single manufacturer produced approximately 100% of our products. We work with a group of approximately
54 suppliers to provide the fabrics for our products, of which no supplier provided more than 10% of our fabric for the three months ended
June 30, 2026.
The
price of raw materials depends on a wide variety of factors largely beyond the control of the Company. A shortage, delay or interruption
of supply for any reason, could negatively impact our ability to fulfill orders and have an adverse impact on our financial results.
In addition, while our suppliers, in turn, source from a number of sub-suppliers, we rely on a very small number of direct suppliers
for certain raw materials. As a result, any disruption to these relationships could have an adverse effect on our business. Events that
adversely affect our suppliers could impair our ability to obtain inventory in the quantities and at the quality that we require. Such
events include difficulties or problems with our suppliers’ businesses, finances, labor relations, ability to import raw materials,
costs, production, insurance and reputation, as well as natural disasters, public health emergencies or other catastrophic occurrences.
A significant slowdown in the retail industry as a whole may also result in bankruptcies or permanent closures of some of our suppliers
and third-party vendors. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our suppliers will continue to provide fabrics and raw materials
or provide products that are consistent with our standards. More generally, if we need to replace an existing supplier, additional supplies
or additional manufacturing capacity may not be available when required on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, and any new supplier
may not meet our strict quality requirements. In the event we are required to find new sources of supply, we may encounter delays in
production, inconsistencies in quality and added costs as a result of the time it takes to train our suppliers and manufacturers in our
methods, products and quality control standards. Any delays, interruption or increased costs in the supply of our raw materials could
have an adverse effect on our ability to meet customer demand for our products and result in lower revenue and profitability both in
the short and long-term.
