Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On August 13, 2025, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of Maison Solutions Inc. (the "Company"), after discussions with the Company's management and its independent registered public accounting firm, Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP, determined that the Company's (i) audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the periods ended April 30, 2024 (the "Audited Financial Statements"), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 13, 2024 (the "Form 10-K"), and (ii) unaudited financial statements included in each of the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended July 31, 2024, October 31, 2024, and January 31, 2025 (the "unaudited Financial Statements," and together with the Audited Financial Statements, the "Financial Statements"), filed with the SEC on September 23, 2024, December 16, 2024, and March 17, 2025, respectively (collectively, the "Affected Periods"), as well as the relevant portions of any communication which describe or are based on the Financial Statements, should no longer be relied upon.
During the preparation of its annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended April 30, 2025 (the "2025 Form 10-K"), the Company determined that it had not appropriately accounted for certain historical transactions under US GAAP. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Period Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Period Financial Statements, the Company evaluated the materiality of the errors from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, individually and in aggregate, and concluded that the errors were material to the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 30, 2024.
The Company has restated the impacted financial statements for the period (the "Restatement"), and presented the effects of the restatement adjustments in the 2025 Form 10-K. The Restatement included an increase of cash balance of $2,074,298 that the Company acquired from the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in Lee Lee Oriental Supermart, Inc. in April 2024 (the "Lee Lee Acquisition") and decreased the goodwill arising from the Lee Lee Acquisition for the same amount.
The Company notes that the Restatement relates solely to the cash accounting in the consolidated balance sheets and cash flow statements of the Company at April 30, 2024. In addition:
| ● | The Restatement does not impact the Company's compliance with any financial covenants. |
| ● | The Restatement does not affect reported loss from operations from operating, investing, or financing activities as presented on the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows for the Affected Periods. |
| ● | The Restatement does not affect key business metrics, including bookings, average deal size, or the non-GAAP financial measures presented in the Form 10-K or Form 10-Qs or in the Company's earnings releases for any Affected Periods. Specifically, non-GAAP gross margin and gross profit, non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss for any Affected Period are not affected by the adjustments. |
| ● | The Restatement does not have any impact on management's or other employees' compensation, as incentive compensation plans were based on the attainment of certain operating metrics and operational goals unaffected by the adjustments. |
| ● | The Company's management and Audit Committee have determined the misstatements were unintentional and were not the result of fraud or any other attempt to deceive. |
