PERFECT MOMENT LTD AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 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 through e-commerce, sales to wholesale accounts and through other sales partnerships.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2024, results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity (deficit) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s results for the three months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. You should read these statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The terms “fiscal 2025” and “fiscal 2024” refer to the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, respectively. The figures in the notes to the financials are presented in thousands, therefore the 000’s are removed.
Principles of consolidation
These unaudited condensed 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. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the financial information for the interim periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Through
June 30, 2024, the Company has funded its operations with proceeds from the sale of common stock from the initial public offering, the
issuance of common stock, convertible debt, and preferred stock, alongside existing trade, invoice and shareholder financing arrangements.
The Company has incurred recurring losses, including a net loss of $
| 6 |
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024, expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
Management’s plans to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include:
| ● | Taking out short-term loans, purchase order financing and debt factoring to assist with working capital shortfalls |
| ● | Exploring sources of long-term funding in the private markets and additional equity financing | |
| ● | Closely monitoring the collection of debts | |
| ● | Strategies and plans in place to deliver improved margins in the next financial year |
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date of these unaudited condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were available to be issued is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and to obtain additional capital financing. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts mentioned above.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the condensed 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 condensed 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 believe will materially affect the methodology or assumptions utilized in making these estimates and judgments in these financial statements. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include reserves for uncollectible accounts receivables, realizability of inventory; customer returns; useful lives and impairments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets; realization of deferred tax assets and related uncertain tax positions; 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.
Revenue recognition
The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the transfer of control. In addition, the majority of the Company’s contracts do not contain variable consideration and contract modifications are minimal. The majority of the Company’s revenue arrangements generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods. Revenue is reported net of markdowns, discounts and sales taxes collected from customers on behalf of taxing authorities. Revenue is also presented net of an allowance for expected returns where contracts include the right of return.
| 7 |
The
Company estimates returns on an ongoing basis to estimate the consideration from the customer that the Company expects to ultimately
receive. Consideration in determining the Company’s estimates for returns may include agreements with customers, the Company’s
return policy and historical and current trends. The Company records the returns as a reduction to net sales in its consolidated statements
of operations and the recognition of a provision for returns within accrued expenses in its consolidated balance sheets and the estimated
value of inventory expected to be returned as an adjustment to inventories, net. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the returns
provision was $
Revenue is comprised of direct-to-consumer ecommerce revenue through the Company’s website and revenue related to wholesalers. The following table details the revenue split:
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||
| June 30, 2024 | June 30, 2023 | |||||||
| Wholesale revenues | $ | $ | ||||||
| Ecommerce revenues | ||||||||
| Total Revenues | $ | $ | ||||||
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company’s customers. 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 direct-to-consumer ecommerce revenue, the Company receives payment before the customer receives the promised goods. Revenue is only recognized once the goods have been delivered to the customer. Sales to wholesale customers are recognized when the customer has control which will depend on the agreed upon International Commercial Terms. For inventories sold on consignment to wholesalers, the Company records revenue when the inventory is sold to the third-party customer by the wholesaler. 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.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold includes the cost of purchased merchandise, which includes:
- acquisition and production costs including raw material and labor as applicable;
- the cost incurred to deliver inventory to the Company’s third-party distribution centers including freight, non-refundable taxes, duty, and other landing costs;
- outbound duties; and
- reserves for inventory.
Accounts receivable
Accounts
receivable primarily arise out of sales to wholesale accounts and ecommerce partners. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents
management’s best estimate of probable credit losses in accounts receivable using the incurred loss methodology. Receivables are
written off against the allowance when management believes that it is probable the amount receivable will not be recovered. Additionally,
the Company records higher allowances in the first and third quarters following its peak sales seasons after the Company determines it
to be probable that it will not collect the related receivables. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company had $

Geographic concentration
Although the Company is organized fundamentally as one business segment, the Company’s revenues are primarily split between three geographic areas: the U.S., Europe and the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”). Customers in these regions are served by our leadership, production and operations teams in the U.K. and Hong Kong.
The table below reflects total net revenues attributed to Europe (excluding the United Kingdom), United States, United Kingdom, and the rest of the world:

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”)
SG&A expenses consist of all operating costs not otherwise included in cost of goods sold or marketing and advertising expenses. The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel costs, sales commissions, the service fees of the Company’s third-party fulfillment and distribution centers, recruitment fees, legal and professional fees, information technology, accounting, travel and lodging, occupancy costs and depreciation and amortization.
Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency using the spot rate at the date of the transaction with any resulting gains and losses recognized in operating expenses except for gains and losses arising on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature, which are recorded as a foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income or loss.
The functional currency for each entity included in these condensed consolidated financial statements that is domiciled outside of the United States is generally the applicable local currency. Assets and liabilities of each foreign entity are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated on a monthly basis using the average rate for that month as a close approximation. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as a foreign currency translation adjustment, which is included in other comprehensive income or loss, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss included in shareholders’ deficit.
| 9 |
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for equity based awards according to ASC 505 and 718, whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The Company measures fair value as of the grant date for options and warrants using the Black Scholes option pricing model and for common share awards using a weighted average of the Black Scholes method and probability-weighted expected return method (PWERM).
The inputs into the Black Scholes option pricing model are subjective and generally require significant judgment. 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 listing 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 Q1 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. Therefore, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of .
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (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 income 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.
| 10 |
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 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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
The Company follows the guidance of ASC 820 and ASC 825 for disclosure and measurement of the fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:
| Level 1: | 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 active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
| Level 3: | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of capital lease obligations and debt obligations approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-04, “Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations” (“ASU 2022-04”). ASU 2022-04 requires entities to disclose the key terms of supplier finance programs they use in connection with the purchase of goods and services, along with the amount of obligations outstanding at the end of each period and an annual roll forward of such obligations. This standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. ASU 2022-04 is effective for the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024 and is to be applied retrospectively to all periods in which a balance sheet is presented. The annual roll forward disclosure is not required to be made until the year ending March 31, 2025 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company doesn’t believe the adoption will have a material effect on the financial statements. Other than the new disclosure requirements, ASU 2022-04 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-01 to amend the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718). Some entities compensate employees or other service providers by granting profits interest awards, which generally give the grantee an opportunity to participate in future profits and/or equity appreciation of the entity but do not give them rights to existing net assets of the entity. ASU 2024-01 adds an example showing how to apply the scope guidance in ASC 718 to determine whether profits interests and similar awards should be accounted for as share-based payment arrangements. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not currently anticipate that the guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The update also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, including the significant segment expense disclosures. This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
ASUs recently issued but not listed above were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations

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 flows.
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. Management has determined, after the advice of legal counsel, that the claims and actions related to such complaint are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition because management believes that the lawsuit will not succeed on the merits and the risk of any material loss is remote. 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 injunctive relief, but no motion for injunctive relief has been filed in the suit. The complaint also seeks delivery of all infringing material to Aspen Skiing Company and an award of the Company’s profits and Aspen Skiing Company’s damages in an amount to be determined at trial, costs incurred by Aspen Skiing Company in the action, their attorney’s fees and treble damages. The Company believes these claims are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend against these claims.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Perfect Moment is a high-performance, luxury skiwear and lifestyle brand that fuses technical excellence with fashion-led designs. We create apparel and products that feature what we believe is an unmatched combination of fashion, form, function and fun for women, men and children.
Across all revenue channels, Perfect Moment distributes to over 60 countries. We design our products in-house and work with a variety of suppliers to manufacture materials and finished goods. Our collections are worn by an evolving list of celebrities and influencers whose perfect moments are captured across a range of social media platforms.
Revenue
The first quarter historically represents less than 5% of our annual net revenue. Gross revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, increased to $1,884 an increase of $566 or 43% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by continued growth in ecommerce revenue. The end of season sale for autumn/winter 2023 (AW23) included an unusually high percentage of product sold at a discount, making way for a significant new collection replacing many of our product lines for autumn/winter 2024 (AW24), in part due to an upcoming change in legislation in some of our markets for the use of Durable Water Repellency treatments. The Company experiences higher return rates on discounted products and for the three months ended June 30, 2024, our returns as a percentage of sales increased to 49% from 34% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Total net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $974 compared to $988 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $14 or 1%. The decrease is driven by increased ecommerce customer returns as a result of end of season discounting, as well as $143 of fiscal 2024 sales returned in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 greater than our return reserve. Had the fiscal 2024 returned product in first quarter of 2025 been consistent with our historical return percentage our adjusted net revenue would have increased 12% to $1.1 million.
Ecommerce
The Company has deployed strategies across the entire sales and marketing funnel as we focus on building a direct relationship with our customer, which we believe is an important step of following our customer from the ski slopes, to après, to the chalet, and eventually home expanding our product offering across all seasons.
We remain one of the most followed luxury ski brands globally and increased our followers across all social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook (Meta) and TikTok) increased by 1.3% from March 31, 2024 through June 30, 2024 and increased 19% compared to June 30, 2023. The number of unpaid celebrities and influencers driving the top of our funnel is extraordinary for a Company our size. The strength at the top of the funnel provides opportunities to move our customers through the funnel that not only leads to sales, but more importantly allows us to build a community and ultimately customer loyalty.
| 18 |
Gross Profit and Margin
Our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $356 compared to $482 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $126 or 26%. Our gross margins were 36.5% compared to 48.8% in the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributed to fiscal 2024 returns processed in in the three months ended June 30, 2024, were sold at a higher margin than the average margin of our first quarter sales in fiscal year 2025, plus the increased mix of products sold at end of season discount compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Improving our gross margins in ecommerce remains a focus in fiscal year 2025, and we anticipate our gross margins in fiscal year 2025 to surpass our gross margins reported in fiscal year 2024. Currently, all ecommerce orders are dispatched from a third-party distribution center in the United Kingdom and in most instances the Company is paying duties to cross international borders. Compounding the margin dilution is the fact we are paying duties at full retail and not at a transfer price. Subsequent to June 30, 2024 we executed an agreement with Quiet Platforms to be our third party operated distribution center in the United States. The U.S. distribution center will improve our customer experience, lower our duty cost plus reduce outbound and return shipping cost in the U.S. market, which represents over 30% of our revenue. We are reviewing our UK and European distribution strategy to improve margins in fiscal year 2026.
The Company has reclassified certain costs totaling $377 previously classified as cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to SG&A expenses to conform to the current year presentation. For fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, had we reclassified $3.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of costs of revenue to SG&A, the our adjusted gross margin would have been 50.9% and 48.7%.
Summary of Key Strategies to Improve Margin
| ● | Shift towards direct-to-consumer revenue (such as ecommerce and physical retail). We expect that rebalancing our sales from wholesale to direct to consumer, coupled with the other margin initiatives would result in a double-digit percentage point improvement in our gross margin, due to channel mix, over time. |
| ● | Reducing product range within skiwear. We believe the current range offers too much choice, and yields poorer margins, resulting from a lack of economies of scale and higher levels of markdown and discounts. |
| ● | Review and modify supplier base. We are expecting our supplier base to evolve as we source fabrics and trims more efficiently and introduce new finished good suppliers with better commercial terms (such as lower labor costs or better duty rates due to factories being based in the EU, UK or Vietnam). |
| ● | Review and revise price positioning. We will continue reviewing our selling prices. We are expecting to introduce better discipline and processes to assess price positioning with a focus on margin by each product, country of manufacture and country of selling. We expect to raise selling prices to improve the gross margin over time as part of the range development process and will monitor price elasticity. We believe prices are relatively in-elastic for our industry and our customer segment, and that pricing increases are generally expected by customers annually for luxury goods. |
| ● | Focusing on reducing costs relating to crossing borders. Operating a global business requires crossing borders with products resulting in high costs for freight, duty, couriers and other handling costs. Perfect Moment has grown very quickly and as a result has not been able to focus on crossing borders in a cost-effective way. We are focused on reducing these costs and expect to see savings over time in freight (for example by using less air freight and more sea freight), lowering duty costs (for example moving production to countries with lower tariffs and opening third party logistic hubs) and reducing broker fees through better processes. |
Our Business Strategy
Perfect Moment sits at the intersection of three large and growing markets (luxury ski apparel, premium outerwear and athleisure and lifestyle). Based on the characteristics of these respective markets, we believe we have the right brand profile, geographic footprint, target demographic, marketing tools and operational expansion plan to gain significant market share. We believe we are also well-positioned to drive sustainable growth and profitability by executing on the following strategies:
| 19 |
Grow Brand Awareness and Attract New Customers
Building brand awareness among potential new customers and strengthening our connections with those who already know us will be a key driver of our growth. While we believe our brand has achieved substantial traction globally and those who have experienced our products demonstrate loyalty, our presence is relatively nascent in many of our markets. We believe we have a significant opportunity to increase brand awareness and attract new customers to Perfect Moment through word of mouth, brand marketing and performance marketing.
In the past, Perfect Moment’s strong skiing heritage has been used to engage with a core ski audience for whom we believe the combination of technical performance and retro inspired designs resonate strongly. We believe the nature of skiing as a largely affluent, international pursuit means there is a large opportunity in aspirational, lifestyle-led social media engagement. We believe Perfect Moment has captured this social media opportunity to great effect, combining the style and form of the brand with celebrities, influencers, top-tier editorial, collaborations and luxury locations to create a distinct, fun and engaging aspirational lifestyle narrative. Beyond social media, we believe Perfect Moment has been able to deploy this same core brand proposition and narrative to direct digital marketing and traditional media, elevating brand profile and driving high levels of engagement simultaneously. Perfect Moment has also been able to build an effective online marketing engine driving large volumes of direct, organic search and paid search traffic to our ecommerce website, www.perfectmoment.com
Perfect Moment expects to continue its approach to social media, building its follower base through a similar and evolving mix of celebrities, influencers, editorials and locations. It also expects to continue to pursue and scale the effective search engine optimization and paid search strategies which have contributed to online sales growth, as well as direct marketing and customer engagement via direct customer communications. Perfect Moment is developing plans to leverage a new Perfect Moment owned physical store network to deepen its brand identity and profile, as well as drive higher levels of loyalty and engagement at the local level.
Brand marketing and performance marketing also work together to drive millions of visits to our digital platforms. Brand marketing includes differentiated content, our network of ambassadors, and social media, all of which result in what we believe is outsized engagement with our community. Our performance marketing efforts are designed to drive customers from awareness to consideration to conversion. These efforts include retargeting, paid search and product listing advertisements, paid social media advertisements, search engine optimization and personalized email. We believe our highly productive, diversified strategy generates a significant return on brand equity, driving sales and building a growing customer database.
We approach this strategy as a funnel, with brand awareness at the top and customer conversion at the bottom, allocating resources across the top, middle and bottom, and measuring returns on these respective investments.
Accelerate Digital Growth
Having used the wholesale channel to establish our brand globally, we believe we will become less reliant on wholesale partners during the next 5 years by committing more resources to our direct-to-consumer strategy and accelerating our digital growth. We believe technology and partnerships are the key underpinning factors in any e-commerce business and as such we will continue to enhance customer experience, focusing on mobile as the dominant growth channel and leveraging the emerging benefits of social and conversational commerce.
Pursue International Expansion and Enter New Markets
We believe there is an opportunity to increase penetration across our existing markets and selectively enter new regions. Although the Perfect Moment brand is recognized globally, our past investments have been focused on North America, the United Kingdom and the EU and have driven revenue growth in the United States during the past fiscal year.
| 20 |
While we expect the majority of our near-term growth to continue to come from the United States, the United Kingdom and the EU, we believe there is a tremendous opportunity over the long term throughout the rest of the world. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, we increased our outreach in what we believe are the most promising countries in continental Europe. As part of the plan to enter new markets, we will start with China, as we seek to enhance our ability to serve our international customers and further establish Perfect Moment as a global brand.
We believe there is a significant opportunity beyond our existing markets, with China representing the next market opening for Perfect Moment. China is projected to become the largest winter sports market, with people participating expected to reach 50 million by 2025 with 1,000 ski resorts to be open by 2030, according to reports by Daxue Consulting and Capital Mind. We allocated a small amount of inventory to test the Chinese market directly in November 2024 on Tmall, using local partners to operate, with a digital approach to selling. We were originally forecasting to run losses with respect to such activities for two years, then become profitable from the third year of such activities, with China representing less than 10% of our revenue by 2027. The data we now have on this small test has led to exploring partnership models such as a Joint Venture, where we could benefit for local distribution, market expertise and financial support for inventory and marketing. We still believe the most significant hurdle to overcome with respect to our plan to enter the Chinese market is liquidity to fund the initial operating losses.
In order to offer a more localized experience to customers internationally, we intend to offer market-specific languages, currency and content, as well as strategic international shipping and distribution hubs. We plan to leverage our social media strategy and expand our network of social media ambassadors to grow our brand awareness globally.
Enhance Our Wholesale Network
Although in the next 5 years we will be mainly focused on accelerating digital growth and our direct-to-consumer channel, we still intend to continue broadening customer access and strengthening our global foothold in new and existing markets by strategically expanding our wholesale network and deepening current relationships. In all of our markets, we have an opportunity to increase sales by adding new wholesale partners and increasing volume in existing retailers. Additionally, we are focused on strengthening relationships with our retail partners through broader offerings, exclusive products and shop-in-shop formats, which are dedicated spaces within another company’s retail store on a short-term rental basis. We believe our retail partners have a strong incentive to showcase our brand as our products drive customer traffic and consistent full-price sell-through in their stores.
Broaden Our Product Offering
Continuing to enhance and expand our product offering represents a meaningful growth driver for Perfect Moment. We expect that broadening our product line will allow us to strengthen brand loyalty with the existing Perfect Moment customer base, drive higher penetration in our existing markets and expand our appeal across new geographies. We intend to continue developing our offering through the following strategies.
Elevate Fall and Winter. Perfect Moment will continue to focus on quality materials and distinctive designs to create luxury products which aim to deliver technical performance and style impact. However, believing that people want to bring the functionality of our ski apparel into their everyday lives, Perfect Moment is broadening the product range beyond the core “on-slope” skiwear to encompass less technical lifestyle products and a wide range of exceptional products for any occasion, including all year round accessories.
Expand Spring and Summer. We intend to continue building our successful Spring and Summer collections in categories such as activewear, loungewear and swimwear. We believe offering inspiring new and complementary product categories that are consistent with our values of heritage, functionality and quality and can become part of our core business represents an opportunity to develop a closer relationship with our customers and expand our addressable market. In June 2024, we launched an Ibiza-inspired Summer Capsule Collection across our global eCommerce channels. The collection was highlighted in a photoshoot published in British Vogue featuring photographer, Grace Burns, and models Stella Jones and Paloma Baygual wearing items from the collection.
| 21 |
We believe this strategy will deliver a number of benefits:
| ● | Increased Revenues. We expect that cross-over into adjacent product markets will increase sales by allowing us to sell outerwear, lifestyle products, activewear and swimwear to non-skiers and cross-sell lifestyle and “off-slope” products to existing skiwear customers in a winter setting. | |
| ● | Reduced Seasonality. We expect that sales of new lifestyle products as well as activewear and swimwear products will be less concentrated in the winter months and increase revenue from new and existing customers as we grow brand awareness. | |
| ● | Improved Margins. We believe that our margins will be improved by this strategy as modest price increases across the existing range increase margins dollar for dollar. A greater use of high-margin luxury materials such as cashmere will support price and margin increases, while a move towards more less technically-complex lifestyle pieces will also drive margin improvement. Full price sales with limited promotional activity will further improve margins. |
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and the three months ended June 30, 2024, we restructured and invested in our design, product development, merchandizing and production teams to create a pathway to execute this underpinning strategy. We launched our first spring summer capsule encapsulating our new strategy at the end of Q1 FY25. We plan to then gradually increase our product offering as we evaluate demand, supply and profitability.
Establish Perfect Moment Owned Physical Retail
Perfect Moment has grown to date without a Perfect Moment owned physical stand-alone store presence. Sales growth has been driven by our wholesale network and online offering. As part of our growth strategy, we believe opening directly operated stores in strategically selected major cities and pop-up stores in strategic ski resorts and high-traffic city locations would provide an excellent opportunity to generate sales in key locations, providing a luxury in-store experience, reflecting the character of the brand and providing an experiential contact point for customers.
As our product range expands, we see the potential to further grow our community with a physical presence by opening directly operated stores. We already have a physical presence in department stores, operated under wholesale arrangements. Operating Perfect Moment owned stores would provide our community a home for the brand and act as a beacon for new or potential customers, but they also add extra complexity and risk. In order to test our retail model, we plan to first establish pop-up locations. We evaluate each potential store location based on lease availability and projected viability, and plan to open popups in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 and year-round stores beginning the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. Subsequent to June 30, 2024 the Company executed a six-month lease for our first pop-up in SOHO, New York for AW24.
Segment Reporting
The Company applies ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, in determining reportable segments for its financial statement disclosure. The Chief Operating Decision Maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The Company reports segments based on the financial information it uses in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Management has determined that the Company operates in one business segment, product sales. Key financial measures including but not limited to gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA and net loss are not reported at a disaggregated level for wholesale and ecommerce and resource allocation decisions to the business strategy are not made based solely on our key financial measures.

Revenue
Total net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $974 compared to $988 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $14 or 1%. The decrease is driven by increased ecommerce customer returns as a result of end of season discounting, as well as $143 of fiscal 2024 sales returned in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 greater than our return reserve. Had the fiscal 2024 returned product in first quarter of 2025 been consistent with our historical return percentage our adjusted net revenue would have increased 12% to $1.1 million.
The end of season sale for AW23 included an unusually high percentage of product sold at a discount, making way for a significant new collection replacing many of our product lines for AW24, in part due to an upcoming change in legislation in some of our markets for the use of Durable Water Repellency treatments. The Company experiences higher return rates on discounted products and for the three months ended June 30, 2024, our returns as a percentage of sales increased to 49% from 34% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $618 compared to $506 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $112 or 22%. The change in cost of goods sold is primarily attributed to increased import duty and freight.
| 24 |
Gross profit and gross margin
Our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $356 compared to $482 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $126 or 26%. Our gross margins were 36.5% compared to 48.8% in the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributed to fiscal 2024 returns processed in in the three months ended June 30, 2024, were sold at a higher margin than the average margin of our first quarter sales in fiscal year 2025, plus the increased mix of products sold at end of season discount compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
The Company has reclassified certain costs totaling $377, previously classified as cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to selling, general and administrative expenses to be consistent with our peers and to conform to the current year presentation. For fiscal year ended March 3, 2024 and March 31, 2023, had we reclassed $3,211 and $2,656 of costs more appropriately included in SG&A, the Company’s adjusted gross margin would have been 50.9% and 48.7%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”)
SG&A expenses include personnel costs, sales commissions, the service fees of the Company’s third-party fulfillment and distribution centers, recruitment fees, legal and professional fees, information technology, accounting, travel and lodging, occupancy costs and depreciation and amortization.
SG&A expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $3,298 compared to $2,482 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $816 or 33%. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in stock compensation expense of $361, an increase in people costs to support growth initiatives totaling $259, increased legal fees of $142k, increased insurance of $114k, and an increase in warehousing and merchant services due to increased returns totaling $103.
During the quarter, the Company partnered with Domo, a data experience platform, to drive real time insights and improve decision support as the Company scales.
Marketing and advertising expense
Marketing and advertising expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024, were $453 compared to $709 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $256 or 36%. The decrease is primarily attributed to lower stock compensation of $185 and a decrease in photoshoots of $118.

They are typically identified by their reach, social media following and stature. KOL may include but is not limited to celebrities, social media influencers, fashion models, contributors to media publications, and noted members of the fashion industry. There is no official listing or accreditation of KOLs, so the term is subjective, and therefore the list and definition may vary from company to company. The source of the KOLs, social media and audience reach statistics provided in this release are reports by the company’s public relations firm. No reliance should be made upon their accuracy or timeliness.

Foreign currency transactions gains
Foreign currency transactions gains decreased by $398, from $410 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $12 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, mainly driven by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar to the U.K. pound sterling exchange rate.
Foreign currency translation gains (losses)
Foreign currency translation gains (losses) result from the process of translating the financial statements of our foreign entities’ functional currency into USD. Foreign currency translation losses decreased unfavorably by $402, a gain of $388 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to a loss of $14 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, mainly driven by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar to the U.K. pound sterling exchange rate.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures - Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to our results under generally accepted accounted principles (“GAAP”), we present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, income tax benefit (expense) and stock-based compensation.
Management considers our core operating performance to be that which our managers can affect in any particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations in that period. Non-GAAP adjustments to our results prepared in accordance with GAAP are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

| Net loss, as reported | $ | (3,388 | ) | $ | (2,673 | ) | ||

| Total EBITDA adjustments | 481 | 710 | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | (2,907 | ) | $ | (1,963 | ) | ||
| 26 |
The $944 decrease in adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, is primarily attributed to an increase in people costs to support growth initiatives totaling $259, increased legal fees of $142, lower margin totaling $126, increased insurance of $114, and an increase in warehousing and merchant services due to increased returns totaling $103.
We present adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA in developing our internal budgets, forecasts, and strategic plan; in analyzing the effectiveness of our business strategies in evaluating potential acquisitions; and in making compensation decisions and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, which includes, among others, the following:
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; | |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; | |
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect future interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts; and | |
| ● | Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and the Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. |
Seasonality and Quarterly Trends
Our business is seasonal with revenue concentrated in northern hemisphere countries. Revenue is elevated in the quarters ending September 30, December 31 and March 31 driven by sales of ski and outerwear through the fall and winter months. In the quarter ending June 30 sales are driven by swimwear and activewear. Our growth rate fluctuates quarter-on-quarter as a result of the seasonality of our business. We expect this fluctuation to continue. In addition to seasonality, quarter-on-quarter results are expected to be impacted by the timing of goods production and delivery, promotional activities and the addition of new products and geographies as the business grows. The business is also subject to the impact of economic cycles that influence retail apparel trends.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,102, restricted cash of $2,850 and an accumulated deficit of $52,365. Historically, Perfect Moment has generated negative cash flows from operations and has primarily financed its operations through private sales of equity securities, debt and working capital finance. Overall, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, in aggregate, decreased by $3,958 million, from $7,910 million as of March 31, 2024 to $3,952 million as of June 30, 2024.
| 27 |
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 HSBC. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the outstanding balance under the trade finance facility was $0, respectively, and the Company had an available trade finance facility of $5.0 million. As of June 30, 2024, there was $2,850 in outstanding pledged letters of credit by HSBC. The trade finance facility does not become the Company’s responsibility until the Company receives the manufactured clothing goods from suppliers. Once drawn, the Company has 120 days credit on the loan before repayment is due. For drawings in Hong Kong dollars, the interest rate equals HIBOR plus 3.0%, and for drawings in U.S. dollars, the interest rate equals SOFR plus 3.3%. The trade finance facility was originally secured by a standby documentary credit for $1.0 million from UBS Switzerland AG and a personal guarantee to the value of $4.0 million from the Chairman of our board of directors, Max Gottschalk, and a $3,150 corporate guarantee from Perfect Moment (UK) Limited. The UBS standby documentary credit expired on April 30, 2023 and the facility was then secured by charge over cash deposits equal to the amount of the facility used at any given moment in time in addition to the aforementioned personal and corporate guarantees. On May 31, 2023, the UBS standby documentary credit was reinstated for $1.0 million, which standby documentary credit was secured by a guarantee from Joachim Gottschalk & Associates, Ltd. (“JGA”). The UBS standby documentary credit was extended on November 26, 2023 through January 26, 2024 at a 10% interest rate. The JGA guarantee is in addition to the $4.0 million personal guarantee of the trade finance facility by Mr. Gottschalk. The UBS standby documentary credit was not extended and the $3,150 corporate guarantee from Perfect Moment (UK) Limited was replaced with a $2,000 corporate guaranteed from Perfect Moment, Limited.
The JGA guarantee accrued interest between 8% and 10% per annum, payable by the Company. The interest charged for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $0 and $7, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company has not utilized any borrowings under the facility.
We expect operating losses and negative cash flows from operations to continue into the foreseeable future as we continue to invest in growing our business and expanding our infrastructure. Our primary uses of cash include personnel and marketing expenditures, inventory, capital investment and expenditures in technology and incremental expenses arising from distribution center operating costs to support our operations and our growth.
As of June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are mainly held in U.S. dollar, U.K. pound sterling, Hong Kong dollar, and euro cash accounts with high credit quality financial institutions. As a result of the seasonality of our business, we typically draw down on our trade finance facilities during summer, fall and early winter to meet a large proportion of the cost of goods associated with the manufacture of our fall/winter collection. Trade finance and debt factoring facilities support our working capital cycle through to the late fall/winter season when wholesale receivables are paid and ecommerce revenues increase.
Our ability to fund inventory, capital expenditures, and growth will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. Our future ability to generate cash from operations is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other conditions. Based on our current level of operations, we believe our existing cash balances and expected cash flows from operations, alongside the continuance of our existing financing arrangements, will be sufficient to meet our operating requirements for at least the next 12 months, excluding financing to support production (i.e. timing of working capital). We may seek additional or alternative debt and equity financing to that set out above. If we raise equity financing, our shareholders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests. If we conduct additional debt financing, the terms of such debt financing may be similar or more restrictive that the terms of our current financing arrangements and we would have additional debt service obligations. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. See the sections set forth in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Form 10-K, titled “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock – Future sales and issuances of our common stock or rights to purchase common stock, including pursuant to our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders” and “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business, Our Brand, Our Products and Our Industry – We have a history of losses, expect to continue to incur losses in the near term and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future, and as a result, our management has identified and our auditors reported that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.”
| 28 |
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, includes a going concern explanatory paragraph in which such firm expressed that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report do not include any adjustments that might result if we are unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, holders of our securities might lose their entire investment. As discussed above, although we plan to attempt to raise additional capital through one or more private placements or public offerings, the doubts raised relating to our ability to continue as a going concern may make our shares an unattractive investment for potential investors. These factors, among others, may make it difficult to raise any additional capital and may cause us to be unable to continue to operate our business.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $64 in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $29 in the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $35, primarily due to an increase in software and website development capital expenditure.
| 29 |
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
There were no cash flows from financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $1,242 mainly attributed to $1,270 net proceeds from the issuance of common shares, offset by $28 in repayment of trade finance facilities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of those consolidated financial statements requires our management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated, and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying value of asset and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include reserves for uncollectible accounts receivables; realizability of inventory; customer returns; useful lives and impairments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets; accounting for income taxes and related uncertain tax positions; 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
We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgements and estimates.
Revenue recognition
The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the transfer of control. In addition, the majority of the Company’s contracts do not contain variable consideration and contract modifications are minimal. The majority of the Company’s revenue arrangements generally consists of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods. Revenue is reported net of markdowns, discounts and sales taxes collected from customers on behalf of taxing authorities. Revenue is also presented net of an allowance for expected returns where contracts include the right of return.
We estimate returns on an ongoing basis to estimate the consideration from the customer that we expect to ultimately receive. Consideration in determining our estimates for returns may include agreements with customers, the Company’s return policy and historical and current trends. We record the returns as a reduction to net sales in our consolidated statements of operations and the recognition of a provision for returns within accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheets and the estimated value of inventory expected to be returned as an adjustment to inventories, net.

Revenue is comprised of direct-to-consumer ecommerce revenue through the Company’s website and revenue related to wholesalers.
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company’s customers. 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 direct-to-consumer ecommerce revenue, the Company receives payment before the customer receives the promised goods. Revenue is only recognized once the goods have been delivered to the customer. Sales to wholesale customers are recognized when the customer has control which will depend on the agreed upon International Commercial Terms. For inventories sold on consignment to wholesalers, the Company records revenue when the inventory is sold to the third-party customer by the wholesaler. 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’s business is significantly affected by the pattern of seasonality common to most retail apparel businesses. Historically, the Company has recognized a significant portion of its revenue in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year as a result of increased net revenue during the ski season.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable primarily arise out of sales to wholesale accounts and ecommerce partners. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s best estimate of probable credit losses in accounts receivable using the incurred loss methodology. Receivables are written off against the allowance when management believes that it is probable the amount receivable will not be recovered. Additionally, the Company records higher allowances in the first and third quarters following its peak sales seasons after the Company determines it to be probable that it will not collect the related receivables.
Inventories
Inventories, consisting of finished goods, inventories in transit, and raw materials, are initially recognized at cost and subsequently measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis and is comprised of all costs of purchases, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
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 a physical inventory at least count once a year and adjusts the shrinkage reserve accordingly.
| 31 |
Stock-based compensation
The Company maintains 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 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 accounts for such awards based on ASC 505 and 718, whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company measures fair value as of the grant date for options and warrants using the Black Scholes option pricing model and for common share awards using a weighted average of the Black Scholes method and probability-weighted expected return method (PWERM).
The inputs into the Black Scholes option pricing model are subjective and generally require significant judgment. 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. 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 is privately held and does 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 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. Therefore, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risk primarily include:
Interest rate risk
The fair value of our cash equivalents, held primarily in cash deposits, have not been significantly impacted by increases or decreases in interest rates to date, due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The interest expense associated with our letter of credit trade finance facility and debt factoring facilities are composed of a fixed spread over HIBOR or SOFR. The fee associated with revenue financing is fixed and the interest rate on our convertible bridge loan is accrued at a fixed rate also. We are exposed to interest rate risk where the interest expense associated with our financing arrangements is depending upon HIBOR or SOFR, a floating reference rate, or in the event that the fixed interest rate associated with our financing arrangements is increased upon roll-over of the financing arrangement at its contractual maturity. Fluctuations in interest rates have not been significant to date. We do not expect that interest rates will have a material impact on our results of operations, owing to the size and short-term nature of the floating rate financing arrangements.
Inflation risk
We are beginning to observe increases in our costs of goods sold, in particular, transportation costs. If these cost increases are sustained and we become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs. Our inability to do so could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.
| 32 |
Foreign exchange risk
To date, revenue has primarily been generated in U.S. dollar, U.K. pound sterling and euro. As a result, our revenue may be subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in U.K. pound sterling and euros relative to the U.S. dollar. Our foreign exchange risk is less pronounced for our cost of sales as to our cost of goods sold being predominantly U.S. dollar denominated. Our selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily made up of U.S. dollar, Hong Kong dollar, U.K. pound sterling and euro amounts. Although a portion of our non-U.S. dollar costs offset non-U.S. dollar revenue, a currency mismatch arises as to the amount and timing of our different currency cash flows. To date, we have not hedged our foreign currency exposure. We will continue to monitor the impact of foreign exchange risk and review whether to implement a hedging strategy to minimize this risk in future accounting periods. Hedging strategies where implemented are unlikely to completely mitigate this risk. To the extent that foreign exchange risk is not hedged it may result in harm to our business, results of operations and financial condition.
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4 - 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.
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 June 30, 2024 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.

| NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | NOTE 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 through e-commerce, sales to wholesale accounts and through other sales partnerships.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, these condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at June 30, 2024, results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity (deficit) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s results for the three months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. You should read these statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The terms “fiscal 2025” and “fiscal 2024” refer to the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, respectively. The figures in the notes to the financials are presented in thousands, therefore the 000’s are removed.
Principles of consolidation
These unaudited condensed 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. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the financial information for the interim periods presented. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Through June 30, 2024, the Company has funded its operations with proceeds from the sale of common stock from the initial public offering, the issuance of common stock, convertible debt, and preferred stock, alongside existing trade, invoice and shareholder financing arrangements. The Company has incurred recurring losses, including a net loss of $3,388 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and used cash in operations of $3,880 during the period. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $52,365.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024, expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
Management’s plans to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include:
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date of these unaudited condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were available to be issued is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and to obtain additional capital financing. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts mentioned above.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the condensed 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 condensed 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 believe will materially affect the methodology or assumptions utilized in making these estimates and judgments in these financial statements. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include reserves for uncollectible accounts receivables, realizability of inventory; customer returns; useful lives and impairments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets; realization of deferred tax assets and related uncertain tax positions; 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.
Revenue recognition
The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the transfer of control. In addition, the majority of the Company’s contracts do not contain variable consideration and contract modifications are minimal. The majority of the Company’s revenue arrangements generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods. Revenue is reported net of markdowns, discounts and sales taxes collected from customers on behalf of taxing authorities. Revenue is also presented net of an allowance for expected returns where contracts include the right of return.
The Company estimates returns on an ongoing basis to estimate the consideration from the customer that the Company expects to ultimately receive. Consideration in determining the Company’s estimates for returns may include agreements with customers, the Company’s return policy and historical and current trends. The Company records the returns as a reduction to net sales in its consolidated statements of operations and the recognition of a provision for returns within accrued expenses in its consolidated balance sheets and the estimated value of inventory expected to be returned as an adjustment to inventories, net. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the returns provision was $67 and $346, respectively.
Revenue is comprised of direct-to-consumer ecommerce revenue through the Company’s website and revenue related to wholesalers. The following table details the revenue split:
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company’s customers. 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 direct-to-consumer ecommerce revenue, the Company receives payment before the customer receives the promised goods. Revenue is only recognized once the goods have been delivered to the customer. Sales to wholesale customers are recognized when the customer has control which will depend on the agreed upon International Commercial Terms. For inventories sold on consignment to wholesalers, the Company records revenue when the inventory is sold to the third-party customer by the wholesaler. 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.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold includes the cost of purchased merchandise, which includes:
- acquisition and production costs including raw material and labor as applicable;
- the cost incurred to deliver inventory to the Company’s third-party distribution centers including freight, non-refundable taxes, duty, and other landing costs;
- outbound duties; and
- reserves for inventory.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable primarily arise out of sales to wholesale accounts and ecommerce partners. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s best estimate of probable credit losses in accounts receivable using the incurred loss methodology. Receivables are written off against the allowance when management believes that it is probable the amount receivable will not be recovered. Additionally, the Company records higher allowances in the first and third quarters following its peak sales seasons after the Company determines it to be probable that it will not collect the related receivables. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company had $645 and $558, respectively, in allowances for doubtful accounts. Accounts Receivable, net of allowances, as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 was $307 and $1,035, respectively.
Segment reporting
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires those enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. Management has determined that the Company operates in one business segment, product sales.
Geographic concentration
Although the Company is organized fundamentally as one business segment, the Company’s revenues are primarily split between three geographic areas: the U.S., Europe and the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”). Customers in these regions are served by our leadership, production and operations teams in the U.K. and Hong Kong.
The table below reflects total net revenues attributed to Europe (excluding the United Kingdom), United States, United Kingdom, and the rest of the world:
Long-lived assets
The long-lived assets of the Company primarily relate to property and equipment, intangible assets and operating lease right-of-use assets in the U.K. and Hong Kong. Total long-lived assets as of June 30, 2024 were $504 and $85 in the U.K. and Hong Kong, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, total long-lived assets were $557 and $98 in the U.K. and Hong Kong, respectively.
Supplier concentration
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the largest fabric supplier, Toray International Inc., supplied 52% and 79%, respectively, of the fabric used to manufacture the Company’s products.
Customer concentration
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue or accounts receivable for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, we had one major customer, which accounted for approximately 14% or $134 of total revenues individually and in aggregate. The related accounts receivable balance for this customer was approximately $190 as of June 30, 2023, and $219 as of March 31, 2023.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”)
SG&A expenses consist of all operating costs not otherwise included in cost of goods sold or marketing and advertising expenses. The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel costs, sales commissions, the service fees of the Company’s third-party fulfillment and distribution centers, recruitment fees, legal and professional fees, information technology, accounting, travel and lodging, occupancy costs and depreciation and amortization.
Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency using the spot rate at the date of the transaction with any resulting gains and losses recognized in operating expenses except for gains and losses arising on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature, which are recorded as a foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income or loss.
The functional currency for each entity included in these condensed consolidated financial statements that is domiciled outside of the United States is generally the applicable local currency. Assets and liabilities of each foreign entity are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated on a monthly basis using the average rate for that month as a close approximation. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as a foreign currency translation adjustment, which is included in other comprehensive income or loss, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss included in shareholders’ deficit.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for equity based awards according to ASC 505 and 718, whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The Company measures fair value as of the grant date for options and warrants using the Black Scholes option pricing model and for common share awards using a weighted average of the Black Scholes method and probability-weighted expected return method (PWERM).
The inputs into the Black Scholes option pricing model are subjective and generally require significant judgment. 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 listing 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 Q1 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. Therefore, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of .
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (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 income 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 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, basic and diluted weighted-average shares are the same in the loss per share calculation, in accordance with ASC 260-10-45-20.
On February 12, 2024, all outstanding shares of our Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into and shares of common stock in connection with the closing of the initial public offering. The $10,002 in principal amount due on convertible debt plus accrued interest in the amount of $1,985 automatically converted into Company common stock, into an aggregate of shares of common stock.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the guidance of ASC 820 and ASC 825 for disclosure and measurement of the fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of capital lease obligations and debt obligations approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Reclassifications
The Company has reclassified certain costs totaling $377 previously classified as cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to selling, general and administrative expenses to conform to the current year presentation.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-04, “Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations” (“ASU 2022-04”). ASU 2022-04 requires entities to disclose the key terms of supplier finance programs they use in connection with the purchase of goods and services, along with the amount of obligations outstanding at the end of each period and an annual roll forward of such obligations. This standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. ASU 2022-04 is effective for the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024 and is to be applied retrospectively to all periods in which a balance sheet is presented. The annual roll forward disclosure is not required to be made until the year ending March 31, 2025 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company doesn’t believe the adoption will have a material effect on the financial statements. Other than the new disclosure requirements, ASU 2022-04 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-01 to amend the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718). Some entities compensate employees or other service providers by granting profits interest awards, which generally give the grantee an opportunity to participate in future profits and/or equity appreciation of the entity but do not give them rights to existing net assets of the entity. ASU 2024-01 adds an example showing how to apply the scope guidance in ASC 718 to determine whether profits interests and similar awards should be accounted for as share-based payment arrangements. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not currently anticipate that the guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The update also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, including the significant segment expense disclosures. This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
ASUs recently issued but not listed above were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations

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.

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. Management has determined, after the advice of legal counsel, that the claims and actions related to such complaint are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition because management believes that the lawsuit will not succeed on the merits and the risk of any material loss is remote. 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 injunctive relief, but no motion for injunctive relief has been filed in the suit. The complaint also seeks delivery of all infringing material to Aspen Skiing Company and an award of the Company’s profits and Aspen Skiing Company’s damages in an amount to be determined at trial, costs incurred by Aspen Skiing Company in the action, their attorney’s fees and treble damages. The Company believes these claims are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend against these claims.
Capital commitments - The Company had $7,316 purchase obligations as of June 30, 2024, related to purchase orders to factories for the manufacture of finished goods. $2,850 purchase obligations are to be financed by HSBC letters of credit and comprise the balance held as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Through June 30, 2024, the Company has funded its operations with proceeds from the sale of common stock from the initial public offering, the issuance of common stock, convertible debt, and preferred stock, alongside existing trade, invoice and shareholder financing arrangements. The Company has incurred recurring losses, including a net loss of $3,388 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and used cash in operations of $3,880 during the period. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $52,365.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024, expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
Management’s plans to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include:
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date of these unaudited condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were available to be issued is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and to obtain additional capital financing. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts mentioned above.

| Use of estimates | Use of estimates
The preparation of the condensed 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 condensed 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 believe will materially affect the methodology or assumptions utilized in making these estimates and judgments in these financial statements. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include reserves for uncollectible accounts receivables, realizability of inventory; customer returns; useful lives and impairments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets; realization of deferred tax assets and related uncertain tax positions; 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.

| Revenue recognition | Revenue recognition
The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time based on the transfer of control. In addition, the majority of the Company’s contracts do not contain variable consideration and contract modifications are minimal. The majority of the Company’s revenue arrangements generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer promised goods. Revenue is reported net of markdowns, discounts and sales taxes collected from customers on behalf of taxing authorities. Revenue is also presented net of an allowance for expected returns where contracts include the right of return.
The Company estimates returns on an ongoing basis to estimate the consideration from the customer that the Company expects to ultimately receive. Consideration in determining the Company’s estimates for returns may include agreements with customers, the Company’s return policy and historical and current trends. The Company records the returns as a reduction to net sales in its consolidated statements of operations and the recognition of a provision for returns within accrued expenses in its consolidated balance sheets and the estimated value of inventory expected to be returned as an adjustment to inventories, net. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the returns provision was $67 and $346, respectively.
Revenue is comprised of direct-to-consumer ecommerce revenue through the Company’s website and revenue related to wholesalers. The following table details the revenue split:
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control of promised goods to the Company’s customers. 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 direct-to-consumer ecommerce revenue, the Company receives payment before the customer receives the promised goods. Revenue is only recognized once the goods have been delivered to the customer. Sales to wholesale customers are recognized when the customer has control which will depend on the agreed upon International Commercial Terms. For inventories sold on consignment to wholesalers, the Company records revenue when the inventory is sold to the third-party customer by the wholesaler. 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.

| Cost of goods sold | Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold includes the cost of purchased merchandise, which includes:
- acquisition and production costs including raw material and labor as applicable;
- the cost incurred to deliver inventory to the Company’s third-party distribution centers including freight, non-refundable taxes, duty, and other landing costs;
- outbound duties; and
- reserves for inventory.

| Accounts receivable | Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable primarily arise out of sales to wholesale accounts and ecommerce partners. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s best estimate of probable credit losses in accounts receivable using the incurred loss methodology. Receivables are written off against the allowance when management believes that it is probable the amount receivable will not be recovered. Additionally, the Company records higher allowances in the first and third quarters following its peak sales seasons after the Company determines it to be probable that it will not collect the related receivables. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company had $645 and $558, respectively, in allowances for doubtful accounts. Accounts Receivable, net of allowances, as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 was $307 and $1,035, respectively.

| Segment reporting | Segment reporting
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires those enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. Management has determined that the Company operates in one business segment, product sales.

| Geographic concentration | Geographic concentration
Although the Company is organized fundamentally as one business segment, the Company’s revenues are primarily split between three geographic areas: the U.S., Europe and the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”). Customers in these regions are served by our leadership, production and operations teams in the U.K. and Hong Kong.
The table below reflects total net revenues attributed to Europe (excluding the United Kingdom), United States, United Kingdom, and the rest of the world:

| Foreign currency | Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency using the spot rate at the date of the transaction with any resulting gains and losses recognized in operating expenses except for gains and losses arising on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature, which are recorded as a foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income or loss.
The functional currency for each entity included in these condensed consolidated financial statements that is domiciled outside of the United States is generally the applicable local currency. Assets and liabilities of each foreign entity are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated on a monthly basis using the average rate for that month as a close approximation. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as a foreign currency translation adjustment, which is included in other comprehensive income or loss, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss included in shareholders’ deficit.

| Stock-based compensation | Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for equity based awards according to ASC 505 and 718, whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The Company measures fair value as of the grant date for options and warrants using the Black Scholes option pricing model and for common share awards using a weighted average of the Black Scholes method and probability-weighted expected return method (PWERM).
The inputs into the Black Scholes option pricing model are subjective and generally require significant judgment. 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 listing 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 Q1 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. Therefore, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of .

| Income / loss per share of common stock |
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (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 income 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 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, basic and diluted weighted-average shares are the same in the loss per share calculation, in accordance with ASC 260-10-45-20.
On February 12, 2024, all outstanding shares of our Series A and Series B convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into and shares of common stock in connection with the closing of the initial public offering. The $10,002 in principal amount due on convertible debt plus accrued interest in the amount of $1,985 automatically converted into Company common stock, into an aggregate of shares of common stock.

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows the guidance of ASC 820 and ASC 825 for disclosure and measurement of the fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are described below:
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The carrying values of capital lease obligations and debt obligations approximate their fair values due to the fact that the interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

| Recently issued accounting pronouncements | Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-04, “Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations” (“ASU 2022-04”). ASU 2022-04 requires entities to disclose the key terms of supplier finance programs they use in connection with the purchase of goods and services, along with the amount of obligations outstanding at the end of each period and an annual roll forward of such obligations. This standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. ASU 2022-04 is effective for the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024 and is to be applied retrospectively to all periods in which a balance sheet is presented. The annual roll forward disclosure is not required to be made until the year ending March 31, 2025 and is to be applied prospectively. The Company doesn’t believe the adoption will have a material effect on the financial statements. Other than the new disclosure requirements, ASU 2022-04 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-01 to amend the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718). Some entities compensate employees or other service providers by granting profits interest awards, which generally give the grantee an opportunity to participate in future profits and/or equity appreciation of the entity but do not give them rights to existing net assets of the entity. ASU 2024-01 adds an example showing how to apply the scope guidance in ASC 718 to determine whether profits interests and similar awards should be accounted for as share-based payment arrangements. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not currently anticipate that the guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expense categories that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. The update also requires all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets to be provided in interim periods and for entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, including the significant segment expense disclosures. This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
ASUs recently issued but not listed above were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations |
