9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under
the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms,
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal
financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We
carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-
15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer
and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
Management’s
Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our principal executive and principal financial officers to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, we
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation,
our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2025.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
Inherent
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Management
does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all
errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective
control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error
or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.
These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a
simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people,
or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood
of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
To
the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers have, during the past ten years, been involved in any legal proceedings
described in subparagraph (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K.
Compliance
with Section 16(a)
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors,
executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports filed with the SEC and written representations
from reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements
were met in a timely manner, except Chath Weerasinghe, who filed one late Form 4, and Max Gottschalk, who filed one late Form 4.
Insider
Trading Policies
We
maintain an insider trading policy that applies to all directors, executive officers, employees, and consultants. The policy prohibits
trading in our securities while in possession of material non-public information.
Board
of Directors and Corporate Governance
When
considering whether directors have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to enable the board of directors to satisfy
its oversight responsibilities effectively considering our business and structure, the board of directors focuses primarily on the information
discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies as set forth above.
43
The
board of directors periodically reviews relationships that directors have with our company to determine whether the directors are independent.
Directors are considered “independent” as long as they do not accept any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee (other
than director fees) from us, are not an affiliated person of our company or our subsidiaries (e.g., an officer or a greater than 10%
stockholder) and are independent within the meaning of applicable United States laws and regulations and the NYSE American Company Guide.
In this latter regard, the board of directors uses the NYSE American Company Guide (specifically, NYSE American Company Guide Section
803(a)(2)) as a benchmark for determining which, if any, of our directors are independent, solely in order to comply with applicable
SEC disclosure rules.
Board
Committees
Our
board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee,
each of which will operate pursuant to its respective charter. The composition of each committee and its respective charter became effective
upon the listing of our common stock on NYSE American, and copies of each charter will be posted on the corporate governance section
of our website at www.perfectmoment.com . Each committee has the composition and responsibilities described below. Our board of
directors may establish other committees from time to time.
NYSE
American permits a phase-in period of up to one year for an issuer registering securities in an initial public offering to meet the audit
committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee independence requirements. Under the initial public
offering phase-in period, only one member of each committee is required to satisfy the heightened independence requirements at the time
of the listing of our common stock on the NYSE American, a majority of the members of each committee must satisfy the heightened independence
requirements within 90 days following the listing, and all members of each committee must satisfy the heightened independence requirements
within one year from the listing.
Audit
Committee
Andre
Keijsers, Berndt Hauptkorn and Tracy Barwin serve on the audit committee, which is chaired by Andre Keijsers. Our board of directors
has determined that Andre Keijsers, Berndt Hauptkorn and Tracy Barwin are “independent” for audit committee purposes as that
term is defined in the rules of the SEC and the NYSE American Company Guide, and each member has sufficient knowledge in financial and
auditing matters to serve on the audit committee. Our board of directors has designated Andre Keijsers as an “audit committee financial
expert,” as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC. We intend to comply with the applicable independent requirements for
all members of the audit committee within the time periods specified under such rules.
The
audit committee’s responsibilities include:
●
appointing,
approving the compensation of, and assessing the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm;
●
pre-approving
auditing and permissible non-audit services, and the terms of such services, to be provided by our independent registered public
accounting firm;

statements and accounting matters;
●
preparing
the audit committee report required by SEC rules to be included in our annual proxy statement;

reviewing
all related person transactions for potential conflict of interest situations and approving all such transactions; and
●
reviewing
quarterly earnings releases.
Compensation
Committee
Andre
Keijsers and Tim Nixdorff serve on the compensation committee, which is chaired by Andre Keijsers. Our board of directors has determined
that Andre Keijsers and Tim Nixdorff are “independent” as defined in the NYSE American Company Guide and each member is a
“non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. We intend to comply with the applicable
independent requirements for all members of the compensation committee within the time periods specified under such rules.
The
compensation committee’s responsibilities include:
●
annually
reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our chief executive officer;
●
evaluating
the performance of our chief executive officer in light of such corporate goals and objectives and determining the compensation of
our chief executive officer;
●
reviewing
and approving the compensation of our other executive officers;
●
reviewing
and establishing our overall management compensation, philosophy and policy;

overseeing
and administering our compensation and similar plans;

evaluating
and assessing potential and current compensation advisors in accordance with the independence standards identified in the NYSE American
Company Guide;
●
retaining
and approving the compensation of any compensation advisors;

reviewing
and making recommendations to our board of directors about our policies and procedures for the grant of equity-based awards;

evaluating
and making recommendations to the board of directors about director compensation;

matters.
45
Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee
Andre
Keijsers, Berndt Hauptkorn and Tim Nixdorff will serve on the nominating and corporate governance committee, which will be chaired by
Andre Keijsers. Our board of directors has determined that Andre Keijsers, Berndt Hauptkorn and Tim Nixdorff are “independent”
as defined in the NYSE American Company Guide. We intend to comply with the applicable independent requirements for all members of the
nominating and corporate governance committee within the time periods specified under such rules.
The
nominating and corporate governance committee’s responsibilities include:
●
developing
and recommending to the board of directors criteria for board and committee membership;
●
establishing
procedures for identifying and evaluating board of director candidates, including nominees recommended by stockholders;
●
reviewing
the size and composition of the board of directors to ensure that it is composed of members containing the appropriate skills and
expertise to advise us;

identifying
individuals qualified to become members of the board of directors;
●
recommending
to the board of directors the persons to be nominated for election as directors and to each of the board’s committees;

and recommending to the board of directors a code of business conduct and ethics and a set of corporate governance guidelines; and
●
overseeing
the evaluation of our board of directors and management.
Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
We
have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal
executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.
A copy of our code of ethics can be found on our website https://investors.perfectmoment.com/corporate-governance .
We intend to disclose future amendments to, or waivers of, our Code, as and to the extent required by SEC regulations, at the same location
on our website identified above or in public filings.
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None
of the members of our compensation committee is currently or has been within the past three years one of our officers or an employee.
None of our executive officers currently serves, or has served during the last year, as a member of the board of directors or compensation
committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation committee.
Corporate
Governance Guidelines
We
have adopted corporate governance guidelines, that serve as a flexible framework within which our board of directors and its committees
operate. These guidelines cover a number of areas including the size and composition of the board, board membership criteria and director
qualifications, director responsibilities, board agenda, meetings of independent directors, committee responsibilities and assignments,
board member access to management and independent advisors, director communications with third parties, director compensation, and management
succession planning. A copy of our corporate governance guidelines is available on our website at https://www.investors.perfectmoment.com.
46
Conflicts
of Interest
We
comply with applicable state law with respect to transactions (including business opportunities) involving potential conflicts. Applicable
state corporate law requires that all transactions involving our company and any director or executive officer (or other entities with
which they are affiliated) are subject to full disclosure and approval of the majority of the disinterested independent members of our
board of directors, approval of the majority of our stockholders or the determination that the contract or transaction is intrinsically
fair to us. More particularly, our policy is to have any related party transactions (i.e., transactions involving a director, an officer
or an affiliate of our company) be approved solely by a majority of the disinterested independent directors serving on the board of directors.
Family
Relationships
Max
Gottschalk, the Chairman of our board of directors, and Jane Gottschalk, and our Chief Creative Officer and a member of our board of
directors, are husband and wife. There are no other family relationships among any of the directors or executive officers.

over a period of four years pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, with 75,000 RSUs vesting on the twelve (12) month anniversary

Other
Executive Officers
Jeff
Clayborne
On
October 20, 2023, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Clayborne for his service as Chief Financial Officer, which was amended
on January 22, 2024. The agreement provided for an annual base salary of $275,000 and eligibility for a discretionary annual bonus. The
initial term was two years, subject to automatic one-year renewals unless terminated by either party with 30 days’ notice.
In
December 2024, the Board cancelled Mr. Clayborne’s stock option grant for 300,000 shares and approved the grant of (i) 300,000
RSUs with a four-year annual vesting schedule beginning October 20, 2024, and (ii) 106,667 RSUs with a four-year annual vesting schedule
beginning October 20, 2025, at a grant date fair value of $1.12 per RSU. Mr. Clayborne’s employment was terminated on January 31,
2025, and a total of 371,467 RSUs were forfeited upon termination.
The
agreement provided for severance of three months’ base salary and a lump sum of $13,300 if terminated without cause or for good
reason, subject to customary conditions including a release of claims. Mr. Clayborne was also subject to one-year post-termination non-compete
and non-solicitation restrictions, and confidentiality and indemnification provisions.
As
of March 31, 2025, Mr. Clayborne held no options and no vested RSUs.
UK
National Employment Savings Trust
Our
subsidiary in the United Kingdom, PMUK, is required by the applicable local laws and regulations to make contributions to the United
Kingdom’s National Employment Savings Trust for all eligible personnel, including Mark Buckley, our former Chief Executive
Officer and former acting Chief Financial Officer. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, we contributed
$1.7 thousand and $1.7 thousand, respectively, to NEST on behalf of Mr. Buckley.
2021
Equity Incentive Plan
The
board of directors and stockholders adopted our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan on August 24, 2021. Our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended
(the “2021 Plan”), provides for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to our employees and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, and
for the grant of non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, performance units, and performance shares
to our employees, directors, and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants. As of June 30, 2025, there were 4,299,957 shares of our common stock granted or available for grant under the 2021 Plan of which 1,571,807
are allocated to employees and consultants (vested and non-vested), 208,400 are allocated to Directors (vested and non-vested), and 2,519,750
were unallocated.
Authorized
Shares
The
number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under the 2021 Plan also includes an annual increase on the first day of
each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 and ending on (and including) the fiscal year ending March 31,
2031, in an amount equal to the least of:
●
500,000
shares of our common stock; or
●
such
number of shares of our common stock as the administrator may determine.
52
If
an award granted under the 2021 Plan expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, is surrendered pursuant
to an exchange program or, with respect to restricted stock, RSUs, performance units, or performance shares, is forfeited to, or repurchased
by, us due to failure to vest, then the unpurchased shares (or for awards other than stock options or stock appreciation rights, the
forfeited or repurchased shares) which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the 2021 Plan (unless
the 2021 Plan has terminated). With respect to stock appreciation rights, only the net shares actually issued will cease to be available
under the 2021 Plan and all remaining shares under stock appreciation rights will remain available for future grant or sale under the
2021 Plan (unless the 2021 Plan has terminated). Shares that actually have been issued under the 2021 Plan under any award will not be
returned to the 2021 Plan; provided, however, that if shares issued pursuant to awards of restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares,
or performance units are repurchased or forfeited to us due to failure to vest, such shares will become available for future grant under
the 2021 Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an award will
become available for future grant or sale under the 2021 Plan. To the extent an award is paid out in cash rather than shares, the cash
payment will not result in a reduction in the number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan.
Plan
Administration
The
board of directors or one or more committees appointed by the board of directors will administer the 2021 Plan. In addition, if we determine
it is desirable to qualify transactions under the 2021 Plan as exempt under Rule 16b-3, such transactions will be structured with the
intent that they satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3. Subject to the provisions of the 2021 Plan, the administrator
has the power to administer the 2021 Plan and make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the 2021 Plan,
including the power to determine the fair market value of our common stock, select the service providers to whom awards may be granted,
determine the number of shares covered by each award, approve forms of award agreement for use under the 2021 Plan, determine the terms
and conditions of awards (including the exercise price, the time or times when the awards may be exercised, any vesting acceleration
or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any award or the shares relating thereto), construe
and interpret the terms of the 2021 Plan and awards granted under it, prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to
the 2021 Plan, including creating sub-plans, and modify or amend each award, including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination
exercisability period of awards (provided that no option or stock appreciation right will be extended past its original maximum term),
temporarily suspend the exercisability of an award if the administrator deems such suspension to be necessary or appropriate for administrative
purposes, and to allow a participant to defer the receipt of payment of cash or the delivery of shares that would otherwise be due to
such participant under an award. The administrator may institute and determine the terms of an exchange program under which (i) outstanding
awards are surrendered or cancelled in exchange for awards of the same type (which may have a higher or lower exercise price or different
terms), awards of a different type and/or cash, (ii) participants would have the opportunity to transfer any outstanding awards to a
financial institution or other person or entity selected by the administrator, and/or (iii) the exercise price of an outstanding award
is increased or reduced. The administrator’s decisions, determinations, and interpretations are final and binding on all participants.
Stock
Options
Stock
options may be granted under the 2021 Plan in such amounts as the administrator will determine in accordance with the terms of the 2021
Plan. The exercise price of options granted under the 2021 Plan must at least be equal to the fair market value of our common stock on
the date of grant. The term of an option will be stated in the award agreement, and in the case of an incentive stock option, may not
exceed 10 years. With respect to any participant who owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our
outstanding stock, the term of an incentive stock option granted to such participant must not exceed five years and the exercise price
must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The administrator will determine the methods of payment of the
exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares, or other property acceptable to the administrator, as well as other types
of consideration permitted by applicable law. After a participant ceases to provide service as an employee, director, or consultant,
he or she may exercise his or her option for the period of time stated in his or her award agreement. In the absence of a specified time
in an award agreement, if the cessation of service is due to death or disability, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months. In
all other cases, in the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, the option will remain exercisable for three months following
the cessation service. An option may not be exercised later than the expiration of its term. Subject to the provisions of the 2021 Plan,
the administrator determines the other terms of options.
53
Stock
Appreciation Rights
Stock
appreciation rights may be granted under the 2021 Plan. Stock appreciation rights allow the recipient to receive the appreciation in
the fair market value of our common stock between the exercise date and the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights will expire upon
the date determined by the administrator and set forth in the award agreement. After a participant ceases to provide service as an employee,
director, or consultant, he or she may exercise his or her stock appreciation right for the period of time stated in his or her award
agreement. In the absence of a specified time in an award agreement, if cessation of service is due to death or disability, the stock
appreciation rights will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, in the absence of a specified time in an award agreement,
the stock appreciation rights will remain exercisable for three months following the cessation of service. However, in no event may a
stock appreciation right be exercised later than the expiration of its term. Subject to the provisions of the 2021 Plan, the administrator
determines the other terms of stock appreciation rights, including when such rights become exercisable and whether to pay any increased
appreciation in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, except that the per share exercise price for the shares to
be issued pursuant to the exercise of a stock appreciation right will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the
date of grant.
Restricted
Stock
Restricted
stock may be granted under the 2021 Plan. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of our common stock that vest in accordance with
terms and conditions established by the administrator (if any). The administrator will determine the number of shares of restricted stock
granted to any employee, director, or consultant and, subject to the provisions of the 2021 Plan, will determine any terms and conditions
of such awards. The administrator may impose whatever conditions to vesting it determines to be appropriate (for example, the administrator
may set restrictions based on the achievement of specific performance goals or continued service to us); provided, however, that the
administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. Recipients of restricted
stock awards generally will have voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares upon grant without regard to vesting, unless
the administrator provides otherwise. Shares of restricted stock that do not vest are subject to our right of repurchase or forfeiture.
Restricted
Stock Units
RSUs
may be granted under the 2021 Plan. RSUs are bookkeeping entries representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of
our common stock. Subject to the provisions of the 2021 Plan, the administrator determines the terms and conditions of RSUs, including
the vesting criteria, and the form and timing of payment. The administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of company-wide,
divisional, business unit, or individual goals (including continued employment or service), applicable federal or state securities laws,
or any other basis determined by the administrator in its discretion. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned RSUs
in the form of cash, in shares, or in some combination thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the administrator, in its sole discretion,
may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout.
Performance
Units and Performance Shares
Performance
units and performance shares may be granted under the 2021 Plan. Performance units and performance shares are awards that will result
in a payment to a participant only if performance goals established by the administrator are achieved or the awards otherwise vest. The
administrator will establish performance objectives or other vesting provisions in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to
which they are met, will determine the number and/or the value of performance units and performance shares to be paid out to participants.
The administrator may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of company-wide, divisional, business unit, or individual
goals (including continued employment or service), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the
administrator in its discretion. After the grant of a performance unit or performance share, the administrator, in its sole discretion,
may reduce or waive any performance objectives or other vesting provisions for such performance units or performance shares. Performance
units will have an initial dollar value established by the administrator on or prior to the date of grant. Performance shares will have
an initial value equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The administrator, in its sole discretion,
may pay earned performance units or performance shares in the form of cash, in shares, or in some combination thereof.
54
Non-Employee
Directors
The
2021 Plan provides that all outside (non-employee) directors will be eligible to receive all types of awards (except for incentive stock
options) under the 2021 Plan. In order to provide a maximum limit on the awards that can be made to tour non-employee directors, the
2021 Plan provides that in any given fiscal year, a non-employee director may not be paid, issued, or granted equity awards (including
awards issued under the 2021 Plan) with an aggregate value (the value of which will be based on their grant date fair value determined
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) and any other compensation (including without limitation any cash retainers
or fees) that, in the aggregate, exceed $500,000 (excluding awards or other compensation paid or provided to him or her as a consultant
or employee). The maximum limits do not reflect the intended size of any potential grants or a commitment to make grants to our outside
directors under the 2021 Plan in the future.
Non-Transferability
of Awards
Unless
the administrator provides otherwise, the 2021 Plan generally does not allow for the transfer of awards and only the recipient of an
award may exercise an award during his or her lifetime. If the administrator makes an award transferable, such award will contain such
additional terms and conditions as the administrator deems appropriate.
Certain
Adjustments
In
the event of certain changes in our capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended
to be made available under the 2021 Plan, the administrator will adjust the number and class of shares that may be delivered under the
2021 Plan and/or the number, class, and price of shares covered by each outstanding award, and the numerical share limits set forth in
the 2021 Plan.
Dissolution
or Liquidation
In
the event of our proposed dissolution or liquidation, the administrator will notify participants as soon as practicable prior to the
effective date of such proposed transaction and all awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.
Merger
or Change in Control
The
2021 Plan provides that in the event of our merger with or into another corporation or entity or a change in control (as defined in the
2021 Plan), each outstanding award will be treated as the administrator determines, including, without limitation, that (i) awards will
be assumed, or substantially equivalent awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof)
with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices, (ii) upon written notice to a participant, that the participant’s
awards will terminate upon or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or change in control, (iii) outstanding awards will
vest and become exercisable, realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an award will lapse, in whole or in part, prior to
or upon consummation of such merger or change in control and, to the extent the administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately
prior to the effectiveness of such merger or change in control, (iv) (A) the termination of an award in exchange for an amount of cash
and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such award or realization of the participant’s
rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the
transaction the administrator determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such award or realization
of the participant’s rights, then such award may be terminated by us without payment), or (B) the replacement of such award with
other rights or property selected by the administrator in its sole discretion, or (v) any combination of the foregoing. The administrator
will not be obligated to treat similarly all awards, all awards a participant holds, all awards of the same type, or all portions of
awards.
55
In
the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the award (or portions thereof), the participant will fully
vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding options and stock appreciations rights (or portions thereof) that
is not assumed or substituted for, all restrictions on restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares, and performance units (or portions
thereof) not assumed or substituted for will lapse, and, with respect to such awards with performance-based vesting (or portions thereof)
not assumed or substituted for, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and
all other terms and conditions met, in all cases, unless specifically provided otherwise under the applicable award agreement or other
written agreement between the participant and us or any parent or subsidiary. Additionally, in the event an option or stock appreciation
right (or portions thereof) is not assumed or substituted for in the event of a merger or change in control, the administrator will notify
each participant in writing or electronically that the option or stock appreciation right (or its applicable portion), as applicable,
will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the administrator in its sole discretion, and the option or stock appreciation
right (or its applicable portion), as applicable, will terminate upon the expiration of such period.
With
respect to awards granted to an outside director, in the event of a change in control, the outside director’s options and stock
appreciation rights, if any, will vest fully and become immediately exercisable, all restrictions on his or her restricted stock and
RSUs will lapse, and, with respect to awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting requirements for
his or her performance shares and units will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and all other terms and conditions met, in all
cases, unless specifically provided otherwise under the applicable award agreement or other written agreement between the participant
and us or any parent or subsidiary.

Clawback
Policy
Awards
are subject to the Company’s clawback policy, which was adopted on January 19, 2024 pursuant to Section 811 of the NYSE American
Company Guide, Section 10D of the Exhchange Act, and Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act (the “Clawback Policy”).
The Clawback Policy requires us to recoup incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers in the event of an
accounting restatement, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the policy. In addition, our board of directors, acting as the administrator

Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
The
following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of June 30, 2025 for each person,
or group of affiliated persons, known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of the common stock. The common stock is our only class
of voting securities which is currently outstanding.
Beneficial
ownership of our common stock is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally includes any shares over which a person exercises
sole or shared voting or investment power, or of which a person has a right to acquire ownership at any time within 60 days of the date
of this Annual Report. Except as indicated by footnote, and subject to applicable community property laws, we believe the persons identified
in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock beneficially owned by them.
In
the following table, percentage ownership is based on 35,708,299 based on the beneficial ownership of our common stock and Series AA Preferred Stock that currently convert at a rate
of five shares of Common Stock for every one share of Series AA Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2025. In computing
the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed to be outstanding
all shares of common stock subject to options or other convertible securities held by that person or entity that are currently exercisable
or releasable or that will become exercisable or releasable within 60 days of June 30, 2025. We did not deem these shares outstanding,
however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Transactions
with Related Persons
We
follow ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. When
and if we contemplate entering into a transaction in which any executive officer, director, nominee, or any family member of the foregoing
would have a direct or indirect interest, regardless of the amount involved, the terms of such transaction are to be presented to our
full board of directors (other than any interested director) for approval, and documented in the board minutes.
SEC
regulations define the related person transactions that require disclosure to include any transaction, arrangement or relationship in
which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at year-end
for the last two completed fiscal years in which we were or are to be a participant and in which a related person had or will
have a direct or indirect material interest. A related person is: (i) an executive officer, director or director nominee of the company,
(ii) a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, (iii) an immediate family member of an executive officer, director or director
nominee or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, or (iv) any entity that is owned or controlled by any of the foregoing
persons or in which any of the foregoing persons has a substantial ownership interest or control.
In
addition to the executive officer and director compensation arrangements discussed in “Executive Compensation,” the following
is a description of all related person transactions that occurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025.
Consulting
Agreements with Directors
Certain
directors of the Company and its subsidiaries provided consulting and advisory services to the Company, as non-employees, recognized
in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report. As
of March 31, 2024, none of these expenses were unpaid.
Below
are the directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, that provided consulting and advisory services during the year.

(A)
We,
through PMA, are party to a consulting agreement with Max Gottschalk, dated May 15, 2019, which continues until terminated in accordance
with its terms, during which Mr. Gottschalk is entitled to receive fees for services rendered amounting to £8,000 per month
from April 2021 to November 2022 and £12,000 per month since December 2022. These amounts are in lieu of any other cash payments
or equity awards Mr. Gottschalk may otherwise have been entitled to receive as a member of our board of directors.
(B)
We
were party to a consulting agreement with Tracy Barwin, dated November 18, 2022, pursuant to which Ms. Barwin was entitled to receive
£1,500 per day for services rendered with a minimum commitment of two days per month. These amounts were in lieu of any other
cash payments or equity awards Ms. Barwin may otherwise have been entitled to receive as a member of our board of directors. The
consulting agreement with Ms. Barwin was terminated in October 2023 and replaced by an independent director agreement.
Other
Transactions with Related Persons
The
Chairman has provided a $4,000 personal guarantee for the Company’s trade finance facility. The guarantee is a pay-on-demand guarantee
securing the Company’s obligations under the trade finance facility, including interest and bank costs, fees and expenses, up to
$4,000. The Chairman does not receive consideration in exchange for the personal guarantee.
In
March 2025, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with a company controlled by the Chairman whereby the Company issued
344,797 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock at an original issue price of $5.8005 per share for gross proceeds of $2,000.
Review,
Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties
Our
board of directors reviews and approves transactions with directors, officers and holders of five percent or more of our voting securities
and their affiliates, each a related party. The material facts as to the related party’s relationship or interest in the transaction
are disclosed to our board of directors prior to their consideration of such transaction, and the transaction is not considered approved
by our board of directors unless a majority of the directors who are not interested in the transaction approve the transaction. Further,
when stockholders are entitled to vote on a transaction with a related party, the material facts of the related party’s relationship
or interest in the transaction are disclosed to the stockholders, who must approve the transaction in good faith.
We
have adopted a written related party transactions policy that such transactions must be approved by our audit committee or another independent
body of our board of directors.
Director
Independence
As
our common stock is currently listed for trading on the NYSE American, we have evaluated independence in accordance with the rules of
the NYSE American Company Guide and the SEC with respect to each director and director nominee. Our board of directors undertook a review
of the independence of its members and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his
or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon the information requested from
and provided by each director concerning their background, employment, and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board has
determined that each of the following non-employee directors are independent as that term is defined under the rules of the NYSE American
Company Guide.
In
making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has
with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the
beneficial ownership of capital stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving their affiliates described in this
Annual Report.
All
of the members of the Audit, Nomination, and Compensation Committees are also independent.
Based
on these standards, our board of directors determined Mark Buckley, Jeff Clayborne, Jane Gottschalk, and Max Gottschalk were not independent.

Perfect
Moment Ltd and Subsidiaries
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Perfect Moment Ltd and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March
31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows
for the years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion,
the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as
of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 2, the Company incurred recurring losses, had a net loss and used cash in operations during the year ended March 31, 2025, and
the Company had an accumulated deficit at March 31, 2025. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
We
have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025 AND 2024
(Unless otherwise indicated, dollar amounts in thousands)
1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature
of operations
Perfect
Moment Ltd., a Delaware corporation (“Perfect Moment” or “PML” and, together with its subsidiaries unless the
context otherwise requires, the “Company”), is an owner and operator of a luxury fashion brand that offers ski, surf, and
activewear collections under the brand name Perfect Moment. The Company’s collections are sold directly to customers.
On
February 7, 2024, the company entered into an underwriting agreement with ThinkEquity LLC, as representative (the “Representative”)
of the several underwriters identified therein, relating to the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 1,334,000
shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (see Note 10). The Company previously filed the form of underwriting
agreement as an exhibit to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, as amended from time to time (File No. 333-274913),
which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2024. The price per share to the public was $ 6.00
generating gross proceeds of $ 8,004 . The Company also granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 200,100 additional shares
of Common Stock on the same terms and conditions for the purpose of covering any over-allotments in connection with the IPO. The Underwriters
did not exercise the over-allotment option.
Basis
of presentation
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”)
and present the consolidated financial position, income (loss), comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows of the Company and its wholly
owned subsidiaries. The figures in the notes to the financials are presented in thousands.
References
to GAAP issued by the FASB in these accompanying notes to the financial statements are to the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue
as a going concern.
Principles
of consolidation
These
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Perfect Moment Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries; Perfect Moment Asia
Limited (“PMA”), Perfect Moment (UK) Limited (“PMUK”), Perfect Moment USA, Inc. (“PMUSA”), and Perfect
Moment TM Sarl (“PMTM”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going
concern
Through
March 31, 2025, the Company has funded its operations with proceeds from the sale of common stock from the initial public offering and
the issuance of common stock, alongside existing trade, invoice and shareholder financing arrangements. The Company has incurred recurring
losses, including a net loss of $ 15,939 for the year ended March 31, 2025 and used cash in operations of $ 9,861 during that period. As
of March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 64,916 . These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements were available
to be issued. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the management of its expenses and its ability
to obtain necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come
due, and upon profitable operations
F- 7
The
Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including production costs and planned growth. In order to finance
these opportunities and associated costs, it is possible that the Company would need to raise additional financing if working capital
is insufficient to support its business needs. While there can be no assurances, the Company intends to raise such capital through additional
short-term loan issuances, debt factoring, and additional equity raises. If additional financing is required from outside sources, the
Company may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to it or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital on acceptable
terms when needed, its product development , results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.
As
a result of the above, in connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue
as a Going Concern , management has determined that the Company’s liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern through twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are available to be
issued. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the
classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Emerging
Growth Company
The
Company is expected to be an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act. Under
the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of
the JOBS Act, until such time as to those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition
period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until
the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended
transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that
comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments
in applying the Company’s accounting policies that affect the reported amounts and disclosures made in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Management continually evaluates the estimates and judgments it uses. These estimates and judgments
have been applied in a manner consistent with prior periods and there are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that
management believes will materially affect the methodology or assumptions utilized in making these estimates and judgments in these consolidated
financial statements. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include reserves for
uncollectible accounts receivables, realizability of inventory; sales reserves; useful lives and impairments of long-lived assets; realization
of deferred tax assets and related uncertain tax positions; classification of convertible preferred stock, classification of warrants,
and the valuation of stock-based compensation awards. Actual results may differ from these judgements and estimates under different assumptions
or conditions and any such differences may be material.
Seasonality
The
Company experiences certain effects of seasonality with respect to its business. The Company generally experiences greater sales during
its last three fiscal quarters, primarily driven by ski and outerwear sales being higher during the winter months and the Company’s
customers concentrated in the northern hemisphere, and the lowest sales during its first fiscal quarter.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
are recognized when the Company’s performance obligations are satisfied as evidenced by transfer of control of promised goods to
customers or consumers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those
goods or services. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits
from, the product. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance.
For transactions within the Company’s wholesale channel, control generally transfers to the customer upon shipment to, or upon
receipt by, the customer depending on the terms of sale with the customer. For inventories sold on consignment to wholesalers, the Company
records revenue when the inventory is sold to the third-party customer by the wholesaler. For transactions within the Company’s
direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) channel, control generally transfers to the consumer at the time of sale within retail stores
and generally upon receipt by the consumer with respect to e-commerce transactions. In certain arrangements the Company receives payment
before the customer receives the promised good. These payments are initially recorded as deferred revenue, a contract liability, and
recognized as revenue in the period when control is transferred to the customer.
The
amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive and recognize as revenue, net across both wholesale and DTC channels
varies with changes in sales returns, other accommodations and incentives offered. The Company estimates expected sales returns and other
accommodations, such as chargebacks and markdowns, and records a sales reserve to reduce revenue . These estimates are based on
historical rates of product returns and claims, as well as events and circumstances that indicate changes to such historical rates are
warranted. However, actual returns and claims in any future period are inherently uncertain and thus may differ from estimates. As a
result, the Company adjusts estimates of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration the Company expects to
receive changes or when the amount of consideration becomes fixed. If actual or expected future returns and claims are significantly
different than the sales reserves established, the Company records an adjustment to revenue, net in the period in which it made such
determination. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the provision for returns was $ 594
and $ 298 ,
respectively, and included as a component of accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Partnership
revenue is recognized over time based on the greater of contractual minimum guarantees and actual, or estimated, sales of products by
the Company’s partners.
The
Company may issue merchant credits, which are essentially refund credits. The merchant credits are initially deferred and subsequently
recognized as revenue when tendered for payment.
The
Company expenses sales commissions when incurred, which is generally at the time of sale, because the amortization period would have
been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying statements of
operations and comprehensive loss.
As
of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any contract assets and had $ 264 and $ 420 , respectively, of unearned revenue on
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue
recognized from contracts with customers is recorded net of sales taxes, value added taxes, or similar taxes that are collected on behalf
of local taxing authorities.

For
the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 revenue, net recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods were not material.
Revenue, net expected to be recognized in any future period related to remaining performance obligations is not material.

Cost
of sales
Cost
of sales consists of all direct costs to source and purchase raw materials and finished goods, production costs (including labor), non-refundable
taxes, duties, other landing costs, as well as specific provisions for excess,
close-out or slow-moving inventory.
Cost
of sales also includes freight costs associated with the shipment of goods to the Company’s warehouses and distribution centers, including freight costs associated
with the transfer of inventory within the Company’s third-party fulfillment and distribution centers and to the Company’s
retail stores.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses
Selling,
general and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related costs, depreciation and amortization, occupancy, warehousing, professional
fees, technology, human resources, legal, and other selling and general operating expenses related to the Company’s business functions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses also include costs associated with the handling of inventory and warehousing costs associated
with the operation of the Company’s third-party fulfillment and distribution centers.
Marketing
and advertising expenses
Marketing
and advertising expenses consist of agency, contractor and consulting expense, content production, promotional operating expense, and
advertising costs.
Advertising
costs, including the costs to produce advertising, are expensed in the period incurred. Total advertising expense was $ 1,646 and $ 1,446
for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
F- 9
Cash
and cash equivalents and restricted cash
Cash
and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and bank balances with original maturities of three months or less. The Company has not
experienced any losses related to these balances, and management believes the Company’s credit risk to be minimal.
Restricted
cash consists of cash deposits and certificate of deposits under the Company’s trade finance facility (see Note 8). Restricted
cash is classified as current on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as the trade finance facility can be due on demand.
The
Company maintains the majority of cash at Chase or HSBC where the balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
up to $ 250,000 . At times, the cash balances may exceed the FDIC-insured limit. As of March 31, 2025, we do not believe we have any significant
concentrations of credit risk due to the strong credit rating of Chase and HSBC. The cash held by other banks is within the FDIC insured
amount and cash held by third party payment platforms are short term timing balances.
Accounts
receivable and allowance for credit losses
Accounts
receivable primarily arise out of sales customers. The allowance for credit losses is an amount equal to the estimated probable losses
net of recoveries in accounts receivable using the incurred loss methodology. After considering current economic conditions and specific
and financial stability of its customers, an allowance for credit losses is maintained in the consolidated balance sheet at a level which
management believes is sufficient to cover all probable future credit losses as of the balance sheet date based on specific reserves
and an expectation of future economic conditions that might impact collectability. Accounts receivable are carried net of allowances for credit losses as of March 31, 2025 and 2024. After all reasonable attempts
to collect a receivable have failed, the amount of the receivable is written off against the allowance. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024,
the Company had $ 547 and $ 558 , respectively, in allowances for credit losses.
Concentration
of credit risk :
Supplier
In
the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the largest single supplier of the Company’s manufactured goods produced 39 % and 75 %,
respectively, of the company’s products. In the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the largest fabric supplier supplied 82 % and
79 %, respectively, of the fabric used to manufacture the Company’s products.
Customer
For
the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we had individual customers that accounted for approximately 12 % and 13 %, respectively,
of total revenue, net. These customers individually did not comprise more than 10 % of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025 and
2024.
As
of March 31, 2025 and 2024, two customers accounted for approximately 27 %
of total accounts receivable. These customers did not comprise individually more than 10 %
of total revenues during the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
F- 10
Inventories,
net
Inventories,
consisting of finished goods, inventories in transit, and raw materials, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost
is determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and includes all costs incurred to deliver inventory to the Company’s third-party
fulfillment and distribution centers, including freight, non-refundable taxes, duty and other landing costs.
The
Company periodically reviews its inventories and makes a provision as necessary to appropriately value goods that are obsolete, have
quality issues, or are damaged. The amount of the provision is equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its net
realizable value based upon assumptions about product quality, damages, future demand, selling prices, and market conditions. If changes
in market conditions result in reductions in the estimated net realizable value of its inventory below its previous estimate, the Company
would increase its provision in the period in which it made such a determination.
In
addition, the Company provides for inventory shrinkage based on historical trends from actual physical inventory counts. Inventory shrinkage
estimates are made to reduce the inventory value for lost or stolen items. The Company performs physical inventory counts and cycle counts
throughout the year and adjusts the shrink provision accordingly.
Prepaid
and other current assets
Amounts
recorded in prepaid and other current assets consist of employee advances, unbilled accounts receivable, prepaid insurance, and other
current assets, all of which are expected to be realized within one year from the reporting period.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost of property and equipment consists of purchase price, conversion
cost and estimated cost of dismantling and restoration. Expenditures such as repairs and maintenance, overhaul costs and borrowing costs
are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Direct internal and external costs related
to software used for internal purposes and website development which are incurred during the application development stage or for upgrades
that add functionality are capitalized. All other costs related to internal use software are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment
carrying values are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the asset group to which the property and equipment
belong might be impaired.
The
following estimated useful lives are used for to depreciate property and equipment on a straight-line basis:

Convertible
preferred stock :
Convertible
preferred stock consists of preferred stock shares issued with an option to convert into shares of common stock at the option of holders.
The convertible preferred stock are accounted for as permanent equity in the scope of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC
815”) and recorded at fair value which is representative of the proceeds received (see Note 10).
Warrants
We
evaluate the appropriate balance sheet classification of warrants we issue as either equity or as a derivative liability. In accordance
with ASC 815, we classify a warrant as equity if it is “indexed to the Company’s equity” and meets several specific
conditions for equity classification. A warrant is not considered “indexed to the Company’s equity,” in general, when
it contains certain types of exercise contingencies or potential adjustments to its exercise price. If a warrant is not indexed to the
Company’s equity or it has net cash settlement provisions that result in the warrants being accounted for under ASC 480, Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) or ASC 815, it is classified as a derivative liability which is carried on the consolidated
balance sheets at fair value with any changes in its fair value recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. At
March 31, 2025 and 2024 all of the Company’s outstanding warrants were classified as equity.
Leases
The
Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception, recording a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use
asset at lease commencement for identified leases at the lease commencement date, which is generally when the Company takes possession
of the asset. Lease agreements may contain adjustments to lease payments based on fixed escalation clauses, an index or a rate. Lease
agreements may also require the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other costs, collectively referred
to as operating costs, in addition to lease payments. Lease agreements also may contain lease incentives, such as tenant improvement
allowances and rent holidays. Lease agreements can include one or more options to renew or extend the initial lease term. The exercise
of a lease renewal option is generally at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any
material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants
The
lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the minimum fixed lease payments over the expected lease term, which includes
options to extend or terminate the lease agreement when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised, using the Company’s
discount rate as of lease commencement. Minimum fixed lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or,
if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company cannot determine the
interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor’s estimated residual value or the amount of the
lessor’s deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate
for the lease. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized
basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. Because the Company does not generally borrow on a collateralized
basis, it uses market-based rates as an input to derive an appropriate incremental borrowing rate, adjusted for the lease term and the
effect on that rate of designating specific collateral with a value equal to the unpaid lease payments for that lease.
The
Company has elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Therefore,
minimum lease payments used to measure the lease liability include all of the fixed consideration in the contract.
Variable
lease payments associated with the Company’s leases are recognized upon the occurrence of the event, activity, or circumstance
in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed. Variable lease payments are presented in the accompanying consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments, which is generally within selling,
general and administrative expenses.
Leases
with an initial term of 12 months or less are considered short-term leases and not recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets. The Company recognizes lease expense for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the same line item
as expense arising from fixed lease payments, which is generally within selling, general and administrative expenses.
F- 11
Long-Lived
Assets
Long-lived
assets held for use are evaluated for impairment when the occurrence of events or a change in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value of the assets may not be recoverable. In these cases, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from
the asset or asset group to determine whether the asset or asset group is recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset or asset group
exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an analysis is performed to estimate the fair value of the asset or asset group.
An impairment is recorded if the fair value of the asset or asset group is less than the carrying amount.
Impairment
charges of long-lived assets, if any, are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company did not record impairment losses for the years ended March 31, 2025 and
2024.
Income
Taxes
The
Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates as part of preparing the consolidated
financial statements. This involves estimating the actual current tax in addition to assessing temporary differences resulting from differing
treatments for tax and financial accounting purposes. These differences, together with net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits,
are recorded as deferred tax assets or liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates, for the appropriate tax jurisdiction, which are expected to be in effect when these
differences are anticipated to reverse.
A
judgment must then be made of the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. A valuation allowance
may be required to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. In the event the Company determines
that it may not be able to realize all or part of its deferred tax asset in the future or that new estimates indicate that a previously
recorded valuation allowance is no longer required, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset is charged or credited to income in the period
of such determination.
The
Company recognizes tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” minimum recognition threshold. If necessary, the Company
recognizes interest and penalties associated with tax matters as part of the income tax provision and would include accrued interest
and penalties with the related tax liability in the consolidated balance sheets.
Foreign
currency
The
Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar (“USD”). The functional currency for each entity included in these
consolidated financial statements is the applicable local currency of each entity. The Company’s entities domiciled in the United
States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Switzerland maintain their books and records in their local currencies, which are USD, Great Britain
Pound (“GBP”), Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”) and Swiss Franc (“CHF”), respectively. For each entity whose
functional currency is not the USD, assets and liabilities are translated into USD using the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet
date and revenue and expenses are translated into USD on a monthly basis using the average rate in effect for that month. Translation
gains and losses are recorded as a foreign currency translation adjustment as a component of other comprehensive loss, which is a component
of accumulated other comprehensive loss on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Pursuant
to US GAAP, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations with functional currencies other than the USD are translated
at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during
the periods. Translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders’

statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Transaction
gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency
are included in the results of operations as incurred.

Stock-based
compensation
Share-based
compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value. For stock options, time-based restricted stock
units, and market-based restricted stock units, share-based compensation cost is recognized over the expected requisite service period
using the straight-line attribution method. For equity-classified market-based restricted stock units, the probability of achieving the
related market condition is incorporated into the grant date fair value. If targets are not met, no compensation cost will be reversed
except in the case of award forfeitures. For performance-based restricted stock units, share-based compensation cost is recognized based
on the Company’s assessment of the probability of achieving the related performance targets. If such targets are not met, no compensation
cost is recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed. The Company estimates forfeitures for share-based awards
granted, but which are not expected to vest.
The inputs into the Black Scholes option pricing model
are subjective and generally require significant judgment. Prior to going public, the fair value of the shares of common and preferred
stock has historically been determined by the Company’s management with the assistance of third-party specialists as there was no
public market for the common stock up until February 8, 2024. The fair value is obtained by considering a number of objective and subjective
factors, including the valuation of comparable companies, sales of preferred stock to unrelated third parties, projected operating and
financial performance, the lack of liquidity of common and preferred stock and general and industry specific economic outlook, amongst
other factors. The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding and is determined
using the simplified method (based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term) as the Company’s
stock option exercise history does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. Because the Company was privately
held for a portion of the periods covered by these financial statements and historically did not have an active trading market for its
common and preferred stock for a sufficient period of time, the expected volatility was estimated based on the average volatility for
comparable publicly traded companies, over a period equal to the expected term of the stock option grants. The Company listed on NYSE
American on February 8, 2024 and now uses the closing price on the day of grant to determine FMV and for the stock options issued in Q3
2025 the company used the average of a peer group of similar companies based by one or all the following factors to determine volatility:
industry, revenue, market capitalization. The risk-free rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues in effect at
the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option. The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock
and does not anticipate paying dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future.
Comprehensive
loss
Comprehensive
loss includes net loss as well as other changes in shareholders’ deficit that result from transactions and economic events other
than those with shareholders. For the year ended March 31, 2025, these changes related to foreign currency translation gains and losses.
There were no reclassifications out of comprehensive loss for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Loss
per share of common stock
Basic
net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding plus the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential
shares of common stock had been issued using the treasury stock method. Potential shares of common stock are excluded from the computation
when their effect is antidilutive. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted net income per share
if the exercise prices were lower than the average fair market value of common stock during the reporting period.
Potentially
dilutive stock options and securities as presented in the table below were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss)
per share, because the effect would be anti-dilutive. As the Company incurred losses in the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, basic
and diluted weighted-average shares are the same in the loss per share calculation, in accordance with ASC 260-10-45-20.

Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
ASC
820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing
the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use
in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy,
which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1:
Inputs
based on unadjusted quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level
2:
Pricing
inputs other than quoted prices in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices
for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable or can be
corroborated by observable market data
Level
3:
Inputs
reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement
date. The inputs are both unobservable for the asset and liability in the market and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
An
asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input
that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize
the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets
and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following techniques noted in ASC 820:
●
Market
approach: Prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or
liabilities.
●
Cost
approach: Amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
●
Income
approach: Techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount based upon market expectations (including present
value techniques, option pricing, and excess earnings models).
The
Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, however the use of different methodologies
or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the
reporting date.
The
carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts
payable, accrued expenses and operating lease liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature or expected settlement
date of these instruments. The carrying values of debt obligations approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates
on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates. The Company does not have financial instruments measured at fair
value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and 2024.
It
is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Segment
Reporting
ASC
280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), defines operating segments as components of an enterprise where discrete financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief financial officer and chief creative officer collectively perform the
function that allocates resources and assesses performance, and thus together, serve as the Company’s CODM. The CODM reviews the
assets, operating results, and financial metrics for the Company as a whole to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing
financial performance. Accordingly, management has determined that there is only one reportable segment. The CODM assesses performance
for the single reportable segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net loss. The measure of segment assets is reported
on the balance sheet as total assets.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior period presentation and disclosures were reclassified to ensure comparability with current period presentation. Specifically,
costs associated with packaging services, warehousing services and merchant fees we reclassified from cost of sales to selling,
general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2025. Accordingly, the Company reclassified $ 3,211 of cost of sales
to selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss
for the year ended March 31, 2024 to conform to the current period
presentation. The reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of the prior period.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements, adopted
ASU
2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure (“ASU 2023-07”) expands public entities’
segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating
decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for
other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The guidance is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early
adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in an entity’s financial
statements. The Company adopted the guidance effective March 31, 2025 for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2024. There was no impact
on the Company’s reportable segments identified and additional required disclosures have been included in these financial statements
(see Note 16, Segment Reporting).

DEBT
Short-Term
Borrowings
During
the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company entered into seven separate business loan and security agreements (the “Term
Loans”) with a lender for short-term loans to be provided by the lender, or the lender’s assignees (collectively, the
“Lenders”) and mature 30-weeks from the date the amounts are borrowed. No amount of repaid borrowings may be reborrowed.
The Company borrowed under seven short-term borrowing arrangements during the year ended March 31, 2025, borrowing a gross amount of
$ 8,658 ,
net of fees of $ 2,866 which
was recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over the term of the agreement. During the year under March 31, 2025, the
Company made total repayments of $ 5,742 .
The company amortized $ 1,801 of
the debt discount to interest expense and realized a cancelled debt discount of $ 179 related
as an early payment discount of the notes for the same amount resulting unamortized debt discount balance of $ 887 .
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $ 2,738 and
an unamortized debt discount of $ 887 ,
resulting in net balance of $ 1,851 .
As
of March 31, 2025, the Company has outstanding borrowings under four agreements that require weekly payments of principal and interest
totaling $ 53 , $ 34 , $ 71 , and $ 59 which have a remaining term of one week, eight weeks, thirteen weeks, and twenty-seven weeks, respectively.
If an event of default, as defined in the agreement, occurs, the Company must make a mandatory prepayment to the Lenders in an amount
equal to the sum of (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest and (ii) a prepayment fee equal to the amount of interest
that would be paid through the maturity date (the “Prepayment Fee”) plus (iii) all other obligations that are due and payable,
including increased interest of 5.0 %.
The
Company has the right to make a full or partial prepayment of any or all obligations, but is obligated to pay a make-whole payment equal
to the Prepayment Fee.
Use
of proceeds is limited to the repayment of other obligations to one of the Lenders and for general business requirements. The term loans
are secured by collateral of the company that consists of all properties, rights and assets of the Company.
Trade
Finance Facility
The
Company, through PMA, has a trade finance facility extended on goods for which letters of credit are issued to the Company’s
suppliers by a financial institution that matures in June 2025. The trade facility agreement was entered into in June 2022 and
subsequently amended since with the most recent amendment in August 2024. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the outstanding balance
under the trade finance facility was $ 2,495
and $ 0 ,
respectively, and the Company had a limit on the trade finance facility of $ 2,700
and $ 5,000 ,
respectively. As of March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding pledged letters of credit by HSBC. The Company is permitted to draw on
the trade finance facility agreement to the extent that there is a deposit made to a specified account with the financial
institution.
The
trade finance facility, as amended in August 2024, provides for (a) import facilities up to $ 2,700 and
$ 5,000 as
of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with repayment due 120-days from the draw, and (b) post-shipment buyer loans up to $ 1,800 and
$ 800 as
of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, with repayment due 90-days from the draw. The Company’s ability to draw on the trade
finance facility is subject to terms per the agreement, which include verification that the Company received the products from
suppliers, among other requirements. The financial institution reserved the right to demand repayment at any time. A commission fee
equal to 0.25 %
and 0.0625 %
will be charged on the first $ 50 and
balances in excess of $ 50 respectively,
drawn under the trade finance facility.
For
drawings in Hong Kong dollars, the interest rate equals the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (“HIBOR”) plus 3.0 % ( 6.72 % at
March 31, 2025), and for drawings in U.S. dollars, the interest rate equals the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)
plus 3.3 % ( 7.71 % at March 31, 2025).
As
of March 31, 2025, the trade finance facility was secured by a personal guarantee of $ 4,000 from the chairman of the Company’s
board of directors and a requirement for a cash deposit from PMA equal to 50.0 % of the limit of the trade finance facility, or $ 1,350 .
As of March 31, 2025, the cash deposit associated with the trade finance facility agreement was $ 1,350 and is recorded as restricted
cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The $ 2,495
outstanding under the trade finance facility as of March 31, 2025 was repaid in full during June 2025.

CONVERTIBLE DEBT OBLIGATIONS
2021
and 2022 Debt Financings
In
March 2021, the Company entered into an arrangement whereby the Company completed convertible debt financing (“2021 Debt Financing”),
from 47 investors, for gross proceeds of $ 6,000 , less $ 841 of debt issuance costs, at an 8.0 % interest rate to provide working capital
for its operations. Between April and July 2022, the Company received further convertible debt financing (“2022 Debt Financing”)
from 47 investors for gross proceeds of $ 4,000 , less $ 531 of debt issuance costs, that rank pari passu to the 2021 Debt Financing, at
an 8.0 % interest rate. The debt issuance costs were amortized over the life of the convertible debt. The Company’s convertible
debt obligations are secured by a security interest over the assets of the Company.
The
2021 Debt Financing had a maturity date of December
15, 2023 . In December 2023 and January 2024,
the maturity date of all convertible promissory notes was extended to February
14, 2024 . Upon the closing of an IPO, prior to
the redemption date, the convertible debt was convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 80 %
of the public offering price of the Company’s common stock in the IPO.
On
February 12, 2024, $ 10,002 in principal amount plus accrued interest in the amount of $ 1,985 automatically converted into the Company’s
common stock, at 80 % of the initial public offering price into an aggregate of 2,497,267 shares of common stock (see note 10). Upon conversion
of the convertible debt, the unamortized balance of debt discount of $ 492 was charged to interest expense.
2024
Debt Financing
In
December 2024, the Company entered into a convertible secured promissory note (“2024 Debt Financing”) whereby the Company
completed convertible debt financing (“2024 Debt Financing”), from one investor, for gross proceeds of $ 2,000 , to provide
working capital for its operations. The Company’s convertible debt obligations are secured by a security interest over the assets
of the Company. The 2024 Debt Financing matures on December 6, 2025 . The 2024 Debt Financing has the following features:
Conversion
rights - The investor has the right, but not the obligation, to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal and accrued
interest into shares of common stock at the conversion price of $ 1.00 .
Interest
– The 2024 Debt Financing bears interest of 15.0 % per annum.
Exchange
Cap – The lender shall not have the right to convert any portion of the 2024 Debt Financing to the extent that after giving
effect to such conversion the lender, together with any affiliate, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99 % (which may be increased
to 9.99 % at the investor’s sole discretion) of the number of common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such
conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest. Additionally, the Company shall not issue any common shares upon conversion of
the 2024 Debt Financing, or otherwise, if the issuance of such common shares would exceed the aggregate number of common shares that
the Company may issue in a transaction in compliance with the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the NYSE,
unless approved by the Company’s stockholders.
Event
of default – the unpaid principal amount of the 2024 Debt Financing and any accrued but unpaid interest becomes immediately
due in payable if an Event of Default, as defined in the 2024 Debt Financing occurs. The investor has the right, but not the obligation,
to convert at any time after an Event of Default at the conversion price of $ 1.00 .
Prepayment
feature - A prepayment prior to maturity to repay amounts outstanding under the 2024 Debt Financing is required equal to 33 % of net
proceeds of an offering up to $ 10,000 of preferred stock after the first $ 2,000 in net proceeds.
In
March 2025, $ 2,000
in principal converted into an aggregate 2,000,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock, at a conversion price of $ 1.00
(see Note 10). At the time of conversion, accrued but unpaid interest was of $ 93
included in the balance of accrued expenses in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025, which was subsequently paid in cash to the lender.

Shares and Warrants Issued as Part of the Company’s
Underwritten Public Offering
On February 7, 2024, the company entered
into an underwriting agreement with ThinkEquity LLC, as representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters
identified therein, relating to the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 1,334,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share. The Company previously filed the form of underwriting agreement as

effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2024. The price per share to the public was $ 6.00 generating
gross proceeds of $ 8,004 . On February 12, 2024, the Company consummated the IPO and issued 1,334,000 shares of Common

Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
On February 12, 2024, all outstanding shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock and the Series B convertible
preferred stock were automatically converted into 5,323,782 and 1,189,998 , respectively, shares of common stock in connection with the
closing of the initial public offering.
Series
AA Preferred Stock
In
March 2025, the Company designated a series of preferred stock as the 12.00 % Series AA Convertible Preferred Stock, par value of $ 0.0001
per share (the “Series AA Preferred Stock”) and authorized 1,800,000 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock.
In
March 2025, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with twelve investors whereby the Company issued 924,921
shares of Series AA Preferred Stock at an original issue price of $ 5.8005
per share for gross proceeds of $ 5,365 ,
less $ 217
of issuance costs or total net proceeds of $ 5,148 . In connection with the securities purchase agreements, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement
with the investors whereby the Company committed to file the registration statement to register for resale the shares of common
stock issuable upon conversion of the Series AA Preferred Stock purchased by the investors pursuant to the securities purchase
agreements no later than thirty days from the final closing date. Registration statement was filed on March 6, 2025
Additionally,
the Company entered into a placement agency agreement with a placement agent in exchange for a cash fee of 6.0 % of the gross
proceeds paid by investors introduced to the Company by the placement agent. Additionally, the Placement Agent received 56,676
warrants to purchase shares of common stock equal to 5.0 % of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series AA
Preferred Stock purchased by these investors (the “March 2025 Warrant”) at a per share price of $ 1.45 for a term of five
years that may be exercised on a cash or cashless basis (see Note 12).
The
Series AA Preferred Stock holder and the March 2025 Warrant holder (collectively, the “March 2025 Investors”) shall not have
the right to convert any portion of the Series AA Preferred Stock or March 2025 Warrant to the extent that after giving effect to such
conversion the March 2025 Investors, together with any affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99 % (which may be increased
to 9.99 % at the March 2025 Investor’s sole discretion) of the number of common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect
to such conversion. Any increase to the beneficial ownership limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after notice is received
by the Company.
The
March 2025 Warrant was determined to be an equity classified warrant and fair value was calculated as $ 31
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
assumptions: volatility of 55.0 %,
risk-free rate of 3.98 %,
annual dividend yield of 0.0 %
and expected life of five
years .
F- 19

to adjustment from time to time as specified in the March 2025 Certificate of Designation.

of Series AA Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of common stock automatically any time after the date six months after the original
issuance date if the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds 200.0% of the original issuance price, or $11.601, and the average

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The
Company maintains the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), which provides for the grant of incentive stock options,
non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance units and performance
shares to employees, directors and consultants of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company. The purpose of the 2021 Plan
is to enable the Company to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional
incentive to employees, directors and consultants of the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company, and to promote the success
of the Company’s business. The Company has 2,519,750 unallocated shares available to grant from the 2021 Plan as of March 31, 2025.
The Company has historically granted stock options to non-employees in exchange for the provision of services, both under the 2021 Plan
and outside of the 2021 Plan.
The
Company has granted stock options and time-based restricted stock units (“time-based RSUs”). Stock options granted to date
generally have a four 4 -year
vesting period and vest at a rate of 25 % each year on the anniversary date of the grant. Stock options generally expire on the earlier
of ten years from the date of grant, or a specified period of time following termination. Time-based RSUs generally vest over a period
of four years in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the board of directors, and are based on continued service.
Time-based
RSUs
The
fair value of time-based RSUs is determined using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, reduced
by the present value of dividends not received during the vesting period. For the time-based RSUs granted during the years ended March
31, 2025 and 2024, the expected annual dividend yield was 0.0 %.

WARRANTS
In
connection with the IPO (see Note 1) and the securities purchase agreement (see Note 10), the Company issued stock purchase warrants
to certain investors that permit the investor to acquire a fixed amount of shares of common stock at a per share price that ranges between
$ 1.45 and $ 7.50 for a five year term that may be exercised on a cash or cashless basis.
Concurrently

During
the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an increase in the valuation allowance of $ 3,190 and $ 1,449 , respectively,
related to federal deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are recorded related to net operating losses and temporary differences between
the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities expected to produce tax deductions in future periods. The realization of these assets
depends on recognition of sufficient future taxable income in specific tax jurisdictions in which those temporary differences or net
operating losses are deductible.
Throughout
the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company has been assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets by considering positive factors
such as the next three years’ profit projection making it more likely than not that the Company will be able to recognize a deferred
tax asset on losses. Based upon historical performance of the Company, a valuation allowance of 100 % was recorded as there is currently
no significant evidence to indicate realizability of deferred tax assets. During the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company
recorded a valuation allowance of 100 % of UK and Hong Kong losses.
The
Company is subject to US federal income tax, as well as income tax in multiple US state and local jurisdictions and a number of foreign
jurisdictions. Returns for the years since fiscal year 2022 are still open based on statutes of limitation only.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Notice
from NYSE – On December 17, 2024 the Company received a notification from the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE”)
stating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirements of Sections 1003(a)(ii) of the
NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) requiring stockholders’ equity of $ 4,000 or more if the Company has
reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of the four most recent fiscal years. As of September 30, 2024,
the Company had stockholders’ equity of approximately $ 2,700 and had losses in its three most recent fiscal years ended March 31,
2024.
The
Company is now subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide. The Company has until June 11, 2026 to
regain compliance with the Company Guide. The Company submitted a plan of action to regain compliance with the Company Guide (the “Plan”)
on January 10, 2025, which the NYSE accepted on March 4, 2025. Accordingly, the Company will be able to continue its listing during the
Plan period and will be subject to periodic reviews including quarterly monitoring for compliance with the Plan until it has regained
compliance.
The
notification and Plan acceptance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE. The
NYSE’s acceptance of the Company’s Plan does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Legal
proceedings - The Company is, from time to time, involved in routine legal matters, and audits and inspections by governmental
agencies and other third parties which are incidental to the conduct of its business. This includes legal matters such as initiation
and defense of proceedings to protect intellectual property rights, liability claims, employment claims, and similar matters. The Company
believes the ultimate resolution of any such legal proceedings, audits, and inspections will not have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flow .
On
December 20, 2023, Aspen Skiing Company, LLC filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the District
of Colorado, alleging, among other things, trademark infringement, false association, false endorsement, unfair competition and deceptive
trade practices by the Company. The claims relate to the Company’s social media posts of models and influencers in ski gondolas
on the mountain owned by Aspen Skiing Company and now discontinued limited edition clothing sold by the Company that included images,
which were licensed by the Company from a photographer, of a skier’s rest area in Aspen that Aspen Skiing Company calls the “AspenX
Beach Club.” The complaint seeks monetary damages, non-monetary relief, such as an injunction to end the alleged unlawful practices,
and attorneys’ fees and costs on behalf of the Aspen Skiing Company. The Company entered into a settlement agreement with Aspen
Skiing Company for a de minimis amount during August 2024.
On May 14, 2025, we were named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of the State of California
in and for the County of Los Angeles Central Judicial District by Amanda Archer and Archer Bytes LLC, a former public relations consultant

damages. We believe the claims are entirely without merit and intend to vigorously defend the matter.
On
April 24, 2025, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer (the “Former CEO”) commenced ACAS Early Conciliation proceedings

contract.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The
Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the consolidated
financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as described below or within these consolidated financial statements,
the Company did not identify any other subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial
statements.
During
May 2025, the Company entered into a business loan and security agreement with the same lender and substantially the same terms as the
Term Loans, borrowing gross proceeds of $ 1,400 , net of fees of $ 70 . Thirty weekly payments of principal and interest totaling $ 66 commence
in June 2025.
During May 2025, the Company entered into a consulting agreement for business advisory services under which it issued
100,000 shares of common stock at a fair value of $ 62 , as determined by the closing price on the day of issuance.
During
May 2025, the Company entered into a promissory note (the “May 2025 Note”) with a lender controlled by the Chairman of the
Company’s board of directors to borrow $ 500 .
The May 2025 Note matures on December 31, 2025 and permits the Company to prepay the note in full without penalty at any time. If an
Event of Default, as defined in the May 2025 Note, occurs, the outstanding principal and accrued interest becomes due and payable immediately.
In May 2025 we entered two agreements
with lenders in which we borrowed gross proceeds of $ 1,900 , $ 500 of which were pursuant to a note with an entity controlled by the Chairman
of our board of directors. Refer to Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
On June 30, 2025, the Company
closed a public offering of 10,000,000 shares of its common stock at an offering price of $ 0.30 per share (the “Offering”),
pursuant to its registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-285612). The Offering generated gross proceeds of $ 3.0 million. After
underwriting discounts, non-accountable expenses, legal expense reimbursement, and other offering-related costs, the Company received
net proceeds of approximately $ 2,686,850 .
In connection with the Offering,
the Company issued to ThinkEquity LLC, the representative of the underwriters, warrants to purchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock
at an exercise price of $ 0.38 per share. These warrants are exercisable beginning on the date of issuance and expire five years thereafter.
The underwriters were also granted a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock and/or pre-funded
warrants to cover over-allotments, if any. As of the date of this filing, the over-allotment option has not been exercised.
