The equity interests in TLS were transferred to the Company on July 20, 2022, and cash consideration was paid in full and the transaction closed on July 27, 2022. As the Company and TLS previously were controlled by the same ultimate controlling shareholder before this acquisition, this transaction was accounted for as an acquisition of a business under common control, and accordingly, the Company’s comparative financial information prior to the acquisition date of July 20, 2022 was retrospectively adjusted to include the financial results of TLS.
On October 26, 2022, the board of directors of TLS approved the acquisition of Reiwatakiya from All Seas Global Limited, who held a 60% interest in Reiwatakiya, and subsequently, approved the acquisition of the remaining 40% interest in Reiwatakiya from a third-party shareholder on January 4, 2023.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the afore-mentioned SEC rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Operating results for the six-month period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2025.
Use of estimates
In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, assessment of expected credit losses for accounts receivable, compensation receivable for consumption tax, current and non-current prepaid expenses and other assets, valuation of inventories, useful lives of property and equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets, provision necessary for contingent liabilities, inputs used in the calculation of the asset retirement obligation, and implicit interest rate of operating leases and financing leases. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Cash
Cash includes currency on hand and deposits held by banks that can be added or withdrawn without limitation. The Company maintains bank accounts in Japan, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, the United States, and Canada. The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
Receivables and credit losses
On April 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“Topic 326”), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss methodology. The expected credit loss impairment model requires the entity to recognize its estimate of expected credit losses for affected financial assets using an allowance for credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company’s account receivables, compensation receivable for consumption tax and other receivable included in current and non-current prepaid expenses and other assets are within the scope of Topic 326. The Company makes estimates of expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses based upon assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the receivables, credit-worthiness of the customers and other debtors, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from the customers and other debtors. The Company also provides specific provisions for allowance when facts and circumstances indicate that the receivable is unlikely to be collected.
Expected credit losses are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Account receivables, compensation receivable for consumption tax, and other receivable is recognized and carried at original amount less an allowance for credit losses, as necessary. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable amounted to $1,288,212 and $1,244,662, respectively, allowance for credit losses for other receivables amounted to $15,707 and $728,554, respectively, and allowance for credit losses for compensation receivable for consumption tax amounted to $97,664 and $99,526, respectively.

The Company accounts for lease in accordance with ASC No.842, Lease (“Topic 842”). The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. The classification evaluation begins at the commencement date and the lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option which result in an economic penalty.

Leases (continued)
The Company leases retail store facilities and distribution centers, which are classified as operating leases and leases certain software and equipment and furniture as finance lease in accordance with Topic 842. Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases on the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, current, and operating lease liabilities, non-current, and finance leases are included in property and equipment, finance lease liabilities, current, and finance lease liabilities, non-current in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
At the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The operating lease right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All operating lease right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment annually. There was no impairment for operating lease right-of-use lease assets during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
The Company has elected the short-term lease exception, and therefore operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less.
Equity investment
An investment in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have a controlling interest, is accounted for using the equity method. Significant influence is generally considered to exist when the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock between 20% and 50%, and other factors, such as representation on the board of directors, voting rights, and the impact of commercial arrangements, are considered in determining whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value and this condition is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company did not record impairment losses on its equity method investment during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. When the equity investment is sold, any gain or loss resulted from difference between the transaction price and carry value of the equity investment is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Common control transactions
In business combinations under common control, the assets and liabilities acquired are measured at the historical amounts of the acquirees in the consolidated financial statements of acquirer on the acquisition date. The difference between the carrying amounts of the net assets acquired and the consideration paid is adjusted to the equity account of the acquirer. The operating results for all periods presented are retrospectively restated as if the current structure and operations resulting from the acquisition had been in existence since the beginning of the earliest year presented, with financial data of previously separate entities consolidated. The subsequent adjustment of contingent consideration after the acquisition date is also accounted for as an equity transaction.
Compensation receivable for consumption tax
Compensation receivable for consumption tax pertains to damages the Company claimed from certain suppliers as well as customers. Compensation receivable for consumption tax is recognized and carried at original amount in the agreements less an allowance for credit losses. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, allowance for credit losses for compensation receivable for consumption tax amounted to $97,664 and $99,526, respectively.

Merchandise inventories
Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, on a weighted average basis. Costs include mainly the cost of merchandise inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to sell products. Write-down is recorded when future estimated net realizable value is less than cost, which is recorded in merchandise costs in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company periodically evaluates merchandise inventories for their net realizable value adjustments, and reduces the carrying value of those merchandise inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value based on various factors including aging and expiration dates, as applicable, taking into consideration historical and expected future product sales. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, merchandise inventories write-down was $88,964 and $69,700, respectively.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Except for assets that are not subject to depreciation, such as land and construction in progress, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are mainly provided using the straight-line method or declining balance method, which allocates an asset’s cost over the periods during which the Company benefits from the use of the asset. The expected economic useful lives of the Company’s assets are as follows:
| | Useful life |
Property and buildings | | 35-50 years |
Land | | Infinite |
Leasehold improvements | | Lesser of useful life and lease term |
Equipment and furniture | | 2-18 years |
Automobiles | | 4-6 years |
Software | | 5 years |
Land has infinite useful life and is not subjected to amortization. Management reviews for impairment accordance with the accounting policy stated under impairment of long-lived assets.
Expenditures for maintenance and repair, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expenses as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in other income or expenses.
Asset retirement obligations
The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the long-lived assets. The Company’s asset retirement obligations are primarily related to leasehold improvement of its retail stores leases, that, at the end of the leases, are required to be returned to the landlords in their original condition. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the balance of asset retirement obligations included in other non-current liabilities was $626,571 and $773,802, respectively, and will be subsequently adjusted for changes in fair value. The associated estimated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the leasehold improvements and are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease subsequent to the initial measurement. Due to the time over which these obligations could be settled and the judgment used to determine the liability, the ultimate obligation may differ from the estimate. Upon settlement, any difference between actual cost and the estimate is recognized as a gain or loss in that period.

Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets and long-term prepaid expenses and non-current assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. When these events occur, the Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available. The adjusted carrying amount of the assets become new cost basis and are depreciated over the assets’ remaining useful lives. Long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Given no events or changes in circumstances indicating the carrying amount of long-lived assets may not be recovered through the related future net cash flows, the Company did not recognize any impairment loss on long-lived assets for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Revenue recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606. ASC 606 requires the use of a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The application of the five-step model to the revenue streams compared to the prior guidance (ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition) did not result in significant changes in the way the Company records its revenue. The Company has assessed the impact of the guidance by reviewing its existing customer contracts to identify differences that will result from applying the new requirements, including the evaluation of its performance obligations, transaction price, customer payments, transfer of control, and principal versus agent considerations. Based on the assessment, the Company concluded that there was no change to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for its current revenue streams in the scope of Topic 606 and therefore there was no material changes to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption of ASC 606.
Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of promised goods is transferred or service is rendered to the Company’s customers in an amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Control is the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the specified goods and services.
The Company currently generates its revenue through retail and wholesale of Japanese beauty and health products, luxury and electronic products, as well as sundry and other products and services, through a multi-channel distribution network. Currently, the Company sells its products and renders its services through: (i) directly-operated physical stores, (ii) online stores and services, and (iii) franchise stores and wholesale customers. For domestic sales in Japan, Hong Kong, the United States, and Canada, revenue is recognized at the point of sales or delivery of the related products and control is transferred. For international sales, the Company sells goods under Cost Insurance and Freight (“CIF”) shipping point term, and revenue is recognized when products are loaded on the ships and control is deemed as transferred. The Company’s service revenue primarily consists advertising services of KOLs for its customers. The Company produces short videos with online celebrities to promote the brands of its customers on social media platforms, such as TikTok and Kuaishou. Revenue from these services is recognized at a point in time when the service is rendered by the Company.

Revenue recognition (continued)
For online stores, the Company generally offers a seven-day product return policy for products sold in the Company’s online store in China, and an eight-day product return policy for products sold in the Company’s online store in Japan, as long as the products are undamaged, in their original condition, and can be resold. For products sold in the Company’s physical stores, the Company offers a seven-day product return policy for products sold in the Company’s physical stores in Japan and Hong Kong; a fifteen-day and thirty-day product return policy for products sold in the Company’s physical stores in the United States and Canada, as long as the products are undamaged, in their original condition, and can be resold. Historically, customer returns were immaterial. Therefore, the Company did not provide any sales return allowances for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
The Company enters into franchise agreements with franchisees in Japan under which the franchisee is granted a revocable license and non-exclusive right to use the Company’s trademarks and stores. The Company requires an entire non-refundable initial franchise fee of ¥3.0 million (approximately $21,000) to be paid upon execution of a franchise agreement, which typically has an initial term of three years and automatically renew for successive one-year terms, unless either party sends a written non-renewal notice no later than two months prior to the expiration of the then current term. Initial franchise fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement. In addition, the Company is also entitled to continuing franchise fees (royalties), equal to 5% of the monthly gross sales of the franchise store, and royalties are recognized as revenue based on the monthly royalty earned. Franchise fees from the franchisees were included in revenue from franchise stores and wholesale customers, and were immaterial for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
The Company is the principal for its transactions and recognizes revenue on a gross basis. The Company is the principal when it has control of the merchandise before it is transferred to customers, which generally is established when the Company is primarily responsible for merchandising decisions, maintains the relationship with customer, including assurance of member service and satisfaction, and has pricing discretion.
In directly-operated physical stores, customers can enroll in the Company’s rewards program, which is primarily a spending-based rewards program, and get a rewards card. Members of the rewards program usually earn three membership points for each ¥100 spent, and one membership point for each HK$1, US$1, and CAD$1 spent in the Company’s directly-operated physical stores in Japan, Hong Kong, the United States, and Canada, respectively. Subsequently, one membership point can be used as ¥1 at the Company’s directly-operated physical stores in Japan when making payment, and 250 membership points can be used as HK$1 at the Company’s directly-operated physical stores in Hong Kong when making payment; membership point can be used to redeem products at the Company’s directly-operated physical stores in the United States and Canada. The membership points are valid for one year and ten years starting from the last use of the rewards card in directly-operated physical stores in Japan and Hong Kong, respectively. There is no expiration date for membership points earned at directly-operated physical stores in the United States and Canada, respectively. The Company initially accounts for these membership points as a reduction in sales based on the estimated monetary value of the membership points with the corresponding liability classified as deferred revenue in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. When a customer redeems earned membership points at its stores, the Company recognizes revenue and reduces the deferred revenue. Unused membership points are recognized as breakage, which is recorded as revenue in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Membership point breakage was immaterial for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Contract balances and remaining performance obligations
Contract balances typically arise when a difference in timing between the transfer of control to the customer and receipt of consideration occurs. The Company did not have contract assets as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. The Company’s contract liabilities, which are reflected in its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as deferred revenue of $7,177,830 and $55,093 as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively, consist primarily of revenue for amount received in advance from the Company’s wholesale customers and unredeemed membership points. These amounts represent the Company’s unsatisfied performance obligations as of the balance sheet dates. The amount of revenue recognized in the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 that was included in the opening deferred revenue was $23,030 and $56,811, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the amount received in advance from wholesale customers and unredeemed membership points was $7,177,830. The Company expects to recognize revenue when products are delivered to the wholesale customers or when customers redeem their membership points, which is expected to occur within one year.
Disaggregation of revenue
The Company disaggregates its revenue by geographic areas, product categories, and distribution channels, which the Company believes best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company’s disaggregation of revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as following:

Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
| ● | Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| ● | Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. |
| ● | Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable. |
Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, due from related parties, current portion of compensation receivable for consumption tax, prepaid expenses and other current assets, short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term borrowings, accounts payable, due to related parties, deferred revenue, taxes payable, and other payables and other current liabilities, approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities.
Foreign currency translation
The Company maintains its books and records in its local currency, Japanese yen (“YEN” or “¥”), which is a functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which its operation is conducted. The Company’s subsidiaries in Hong Kong, the PRC, Malaysia, the United States and Canada use their respective currencies Hong Kong Dollar (“HK$”), Chinese Yuan (“RMB”), Malaysia Ringgit (“MYR”), United States Dollars (“USD”) and Canadian dollar (“CAD”). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollars (“US$” or “$”) and the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. In accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement,” assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into US$, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average rates prevailing during the period. Shareholders’ equity is translated at the historical exchange rate at the time of transaction. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the results of operations.
The following table outlines the currency exchange rates that were used in creating the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this report:

Income taxes
The Company accounts for current income taxes in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expenses in the period incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes were incurred during the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and there was no uncertain tax provision as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

Sales and leaseback
The Company enters into sale and leaseback transactions, pursuant to which the Company sells the property to a third party and agrees to lease the property back for a certain period of time. To determine whether the transfer of the property should be accounted for as a sale, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred control to the third party in accordance with the revenue recognition guidance set forth in ASC 606. If the transfer of the asset is deemed to be a sale at market terms, the Company recognizes the transaction price for the sale based on the cash proceeds received, derecognizes the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognizes a gain or loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in other income or expenses for any difference between the carrying value of the asset and the transaction price. The Company then accounts for the leaseback in accordance with its lease accounting policy.
Earnings per share
The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. There were no dilutive shares for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

In June 2023, the Company entered into agreements with relevant suppliers and customers to claim compensation for damages from the additional consumption tax payment. These suppliers and customers agreed to compensate the Company and the compensation receivable for consumption tax will be paid over two years from the date of the agreements. As of March 31, 2024, the net total of compensation receivable for consumption tax was approximately $9.9 million (approximately ¥1.5 billion).

(2) | Other receivables as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 included $nil and $710,236 due from a construction company, which is a refund of the design and construction service fee the Company prepaid for the construction of its new distribution center. Since the construction company failed to obtain relevant construction permits and delayed the construction, the service agreement was terminated and the Company requested a refund of prepaid contract amount. In November 2020, the Company filed a legal case against the construction company claiming the refund of the contract prepayment. Although the Company was confident in winning the legal case, the Company fully provided an allowance for credit loss for the receivable from this construction company as of March 31, 2024. During the six months ended September 30 2024, the legal case was concluded by the court and the Company won the case. Based on the judgment of the court, the construction company was required to refund the full prepaid contract amount to the Company. However, the construction company has gone bankrupt and was unable to make the refund. As a result, the Company wrote off the receivable against the allowance as of September 30, 2024. Other receivables as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 included approximately $1.6 million and $1.8 million due from a third-party warehouse and logistics service provider (the “Service Provider”). The Company engaged the Service Provider for warehouse and logistics services previously; however, due to the tax examination mentioned in Note 5, the Service Provider failed to provide relevant export documents for consumption tax examination, which caused the additional consumption tax to be paid to the tax authority by the Company. As a result, the Company terminated its warehouse and logistics services in October 2022, and entered into an agreement with the Service Provider, pursuant to which, the unutilized service fees will be repaid by the Service Provider over two years from the date of the agreement. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company provided an allowance for credit loss of $15,568 and $17,723 for the receivable from the Service Provider according to the Company’s accounting policy based on its best estimates. |

(1) | Since January 2022, the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau had conducted a tax examination into the Company’s consumption tax filing for the period from July 2018 to December 2021, and the examination was completed in May 2023. As a result of the examination, the Company was required to return consumption tax refund amounting to approximately $28.3 million (approximately ¥3.8 billion) for export transactions that were determined not to meet the tax exemption requirements due to incomplete submission of relevant export documents. In addition, the additional tax for understatement and delinquent tax computed by the Company’s tax consultant amounted to approximately $6.1 million (approximately ¥0.8 billion). Therefore, as of March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net consumption tax payable amounted to approximately $16.6 million (approximately ¥2.2 billion), after the deduction of refundable consumption tax amounted to approximately $12.9 million (approximately ¥1.7 billion) that was withheld by the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau due to this examination, as well as refundable income tax that arose from the payments of additional consumption tax amounted to approximately $4.9 million (approximately ¥0.7 billion). During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded additional consumption tax payable approximately $0.6 million (approximately ¥90.9 million) based on the final assessment by the Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau. The Company made payments of the consumption tax payable by a monthly instalment of approximately $0.2 million (¥30.0 million), and the amount was also offset by the consumption tax receivable from the tax authorities for excess input consumption tax. The consumption tax payable was $2,687,920 and $5,475,313 as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. |
NOTE 12 –WARRANTS LIABILITIES
Representative’s warrants liability
In connection with the Company’s IPO, the Company agreed to issue warrants to the representative of the underwriters, for a nominal consideration of $0.01 to purchase 30,000 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) of the Company (equal to 5% of the total number of ADSs sold in the IPO, but not including any over-allotment ADSs sold in the over-allotment option) (the “Representative’s Warrants”). The Representative’s Warrants have an exercise price of $48.0 per ADS (equal to 120% of the Company’s IPO offering price of $40.00 per ADS). The Representative’s Warrants are exercisable beginning from six months after the date of commencement of sales in the Company’s IPO and for a period of five years after the date of commencement of sales in the Company’s IPO.
Because the strike price of the Representative’s Warrants is denominated in United States Dollars, a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, Japanese yen, the Representative’s Warrants were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. As such, the Representative’s Warrants were classified as a derivative liability under ASC 815-10, and recorded initially and subsequently at fair value with all future changes in the fair value recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expired. As of September 30, 2024, these Representative’s Warrants were issued and outstanding but none of the warrants had been exercised. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, these Representative Warrants were antidilutive and accordingly were not included in the diluted EPS calculation based on treasury stock method.
On January 13, 2022, the Company recorded a fair value of $522,116 for the Representative’s Warrants liability at issuance resulting in a decrease in additional paid-in capital of $522,116, as the Company determined these warrants issued to the representative of underwriters were part of its incremental cost directly attributable to the Company’s IPO. The Company recognized a loss of $369 and a gain of $1,833 from the change in fair value of the Representative’s Warrants liability subsequently for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In the concurrent private placement, the Company also issued to the same investors 597,015 ADS purchase warrants (the “Investors’ Warrants”). The warrants have an exercise price of $6.70 per ADS, are exercisable immediately, and will expire 5.5 years following the date of issuance.
Because the strike price of the Investors’ Warrants is denominated in United States Dollars, a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, Japanese yen, the Investors’ Warrants were not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. As such, the Investors’ Warrants were classified as a derivative liability under ASC 815-10, and recorded initially and subsequently at fair value with all future changes in the fair value recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised or expired.

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 17, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiary TLS, entered into a cooperation agreement with a third-party company, to invest ¥3.0 million (approximately $20,900) and ¥7.0 million (approximately $48,900), respectively, in CROSSING CARDS CO., LTD (“Crossing Cards”), with a core business of retail and wholesale of cards. Crossing Cards was incorporated in Japan pursuant to the laws of Japan on June 18, 2024 with an initial registered capital of ¥1.0 million (approximately $6,900), and the registered capital increased to ¥11.0 million (approximately $76,700) after the investments. The Company owns 27.27% of Crossing Cards and the registered capital was fully injected in October 2024.
On October 21, 2024, the Company approved a change of the ratio of its ADSs to its ordinary shares from one ADS representing one ordinary share to one ADS representing 10 ordinary shares. The ratio change resulted in a reverse split on the Company’s ADSs on the basis of one new ADS for every 10 old ADSs held. As a result of the reverse split, the Company’s ADSs and per ADS as reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated as if the transaction occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. The ordinary shares of the Company were not affected by this change in the ADS to ordinary share ratio. The ADS Ratio Change became effective on November 15, 2024.
On January 26, 2024, the Company issued to certain investors 597,015 ADS purchase warrants in a concurrent private placement. The warrants have an exercise price of $6.70 per ADS, are exercisable immediately, and will expire 5.5 years following the date of issuance. (See Note 12 - Investors’ warrants liability). Upon the Reverse Split effected on November 15, 2024, the number of ADS purchase warrants was reset to 1,460,328 ADS purchase warrants and the exercise price was reset to $2.74 per ADS. As the date of this report, a total of 10,760 ADS purchase warrants were exercised by the investors, and net proceeds of $29,473 were received by the Company.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by management and available for issuance on December 18, 2024, and the Company has evaluated subsequent events through this date. The Company did not identify any subsequent events except those disclosed above that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
