PERFECT MOMENT LTD AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data and exchange rate data)
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, swim, 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 December 31, 2024, results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company’s results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 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 $8,614 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and used cash in operations of $8,780 during the period. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $57,591. Also, we have accrued approximately $1,143 of delinquent payroll taxes.
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 |
| ● | Cost-reduction initiatives aimed at improving operational efficiency and preserving liquidity |
| ● | 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.
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 December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the returns provision was $704 and $346, respectively.
Revenue is comprised of direct-to-consumer ecommerce revenue through the Company’s website and revenue related to wholesalers, revenue related to retail stores, and revenue related to short-term collaborations. The following table details the revenue split:
| Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
| Wholesale revenues | $7,335 | $7,829 | $10,066 | $10,658 |
| Ecommerce revenues | 3,716 | 3,752 | 5,793 | 5,775 |
| Retail revenues | 516 | - | 516 | - |
| Revenues - subtotal | $11,567 | $11,581 | $16,375 | $16,433 |
| Collaboration revenues | 91 | 1,145 | 91 | 3,169 |
| Total | $11,658 | $12,726 | $16,466 | $19,602 |
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 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 December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company had $587 and $558, respectively, in allowances for doubtful accounts. Accounts Receivable, net of allowances, as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024 was $2,747 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 inone business segment, product sales.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs consist primarily of legal, accounting and underwriters’ fees incurred related to equity financing. These deferred costs are deferred and then charged against the proceeds received once the equity financing occurs or are charged to expense if the financing does not occur.
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:
| Three Months Ended · Nine Months Ended | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2024 · December 31, 2023 · December 31, 2024 · December 31, 2023 | ||||||||
| Europe (excluding United Kingdom) | $4,214 | 36% | $4,801 | 38% | $6,338 | 38% | $6,833 | 35% |
| United States | 4,187 | 36% | 4,743 | 37% | 5,512 | 34% | 8,189 | 42% |
| United Kingdom | 2,222 | 19% | 2,402 | 19% | 3,160 | 19% | 3,467 | 18% |
| Rest of the World | 1,035 | 9% | 780 | 6% | 1,456 | 9% | 1,113 | 5% |
| Total | $11,658 | $12,726 | $16,466 | $19,602 | ||||
Supplier concentration
For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the largest single supplier of manufactured goods to the Company produced 62% and 92%, respectively, of the Company’s products. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company made no fabric purchases.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the largest single supplier of manufactured goods to the Company produced 40% and 75%, respectively, of the Company’s products. For the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the single largest fabric supplier to the Company supplied 46% and 63%, respectively, of the fabric used to manufacture the Company’s products.
Customer concentration
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024.
No single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, we had one major customer, which accounted for approximately 16% or $3,168 of total revenue. The related accounts receivable balance for this customer was $0 as of December 31, 2023, and $41 as of March 31, 2023.
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 listed on NYSE American on February 8, 2024 and now uses the closing price on the day of grant to determine FMV and for the stock options issued in Q3 2025 the company used the average of a peer group of similar companies based by one or all the following factors to determine volatility: industry, revenue, market capitalization. The risk-free rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option. The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero.
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 income for the three months ended December 31, 2023, while incurring losses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the treasury stock method and basic and diluted weighted-average shares are different 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 5,323,782 and 1,189,998 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 2,497,267 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:
| 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.
Reclassifications
The Company has reclassified certain costs totaling $1,761 and $2,752 previously classified as cost of sales for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, to SG&A expenses to conform to the current year presentation.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The guidance in ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory; employee compensation; and depreciation and amortization expense for each caption on the income statement where such expenses are included. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively to reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and assessing the potential impact on our financial statement disclosures.
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. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-07 beginning April 1, 2025. The Company does not believe the impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements had a material impact to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
We have reviewed all accounting pronouncements recently issued by the FASB and the SEC. The authoritative pronouncements that we have already adopted did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reporting thereof, and except as otherwise noted above, we do not believe that any of the authoritative pronouncements that we have not yet adopted will have a material effect upon our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or reporting thereof.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
*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 (“ASC”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, alleging, among other things, trademark infringement, false association, false endorsement, unfair competition and deceptive trade practices by the Company (the “ASC Suit”). 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.
In August 28, 2024 the Company and ASC entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with respect to the ASC Suit. The Company agreed to terminate all marketing, distribution and sale of the PM DeDe Johnston Apparel and to terminate all use of any marketing and advertising in which an ASC Trademark (as that those terms are defined in the Settlement Agreement) is visible and recognizable, and to pay ASC the sum of $10,000.
On December 17, 2024 the Company received a notification from the NYSE American LLC stating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirements of Sections 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide requiring stockholders’ equity of $4.0 million or more if the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of the four most recent fiscal years. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had stockholders’ equity of $2.7 million and had losses in its three most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2024.
