Rhea-AI Filing Summary

On August 13, 2025, Maison Solutions Inc. reported that its Audit Committee, after discussions with management and independent auditor Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP, concluded certain previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon due to accounting errors under US GAAP. The company restated the impacted financial statements for the period and disclosed the effects in its 2025 annual report.

The Restatement increased the reported cash balance by $2,074,298 related to the April 2024 acquisition of Lee Lee Oriental Supermart, Inc., and decreased goodwill by the same amount. The company says the correction relates solely to cash accounting in the consolidated balance sheets and cash flow statements as of April 30, 2024, and does not affect reported loss from operations, non-GAAP metrics, financial-covenant compliance, or incentive compensation. Management and the Audit Committee concluded the misstatements were unintentional.

Il 13 agosto 2025 Maison Solutions Inc. ha comunicato che il suo Comitato per la Revisione Contabile, dopo aver discusso con la direzione e con il revisore indipendente Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP, ha concluso che alcuni bilanci precedentemente pubblicati non possono più essere considerati affidabili a causa di errori contabili ai sensi degli US GAAP. La società ha ripresentato i bilanci interessati per il periodo e ha illustrato gli effetti nel suo rapporto annuale 2025.

La rettifica ha incrementato la liquidità riportata di $2,074,298 relativa all'acquisizione di aprile 2024 di Lee Lee Oriental Supermart, Inc., e ha ridotto l'avviamento dello stesso importo. La società precisa che la correzione riguarda esclusivamente la contabilizzazione della cassa nei bilanci consolidati e nei rendiconti finanziari al 30 aprile 2024, e non incide sulla perdita operativa riportata, sulle metriche non-GAAP, sul rispetto dei covenant finanziari o sulle retribuzioni incentivanti. La direzione e il Comitato per la Revisione hanno ritenuto le inesattezze non intenzionali.

El 13 de agosto de 2025, Maison Solutions Inc. informó que su Comité de Auditoría, tras dialogar con la dirección y con el auditor independiente Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP, concluyó que ciertos estados financieros emitidos anteriormente ya no son confiables debido a errores contables según los US GAAP. La compañía rehízo los estados financieros afectados del periodo y divulgó los efectos en su informe anual 2025.

La rectificación aumentó el saldo de efectivo informado en $2,074,298 relacionado con la adquisición de abril de 2024 de Lee Lee Oriental Supermart, Inc., y redujo la plusvalía por el mismo importe. La empresa indica que la corrección se refiere únicamente al registro de efectivo en los balances consolidados y en los estados de flujo de efectivo al 30 de abril de 2024, y no afecta la pérdida operativa reportada, las métricas no-GAAP, el cumplimiento de convenios financieros ni la compensación por incentivos. La dirección y el Comité de Auditoría concluyeron que las incorrecciones no fueron intencionales.

Le 13 août 2025, Maison Solutions Inc. a déclaré que son comité d'audit, après échanges avec la direction et l'auditeur indépendant Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP, avait conclu que certains états financiers publiés antérieurement ne pouvaient plus être considérés comme fiables en raison d'erreurs comptables selon les US GAAP.

Le retraitement a augmenté le solde de trésorerie déclaré de $2,074,298 lié à l'acquisition d'avril 2024 de Lee Lee Oriental Supermart, Inc., et a diminué le goodwill du même montant. La société précise que la correction concerne uniquement l'enregistrement de la trésorerie dans les bilans consolidés et les tableaux de flux de trésorerie au 30 avril 2024, et n'affecte pas la perte d'exploitation déclarée, les mesures non-GAAP, le respect des engagements financiers ni la rémunération incitative. La direction et le comité d'audit ont conclu que ces erreurs n'étaient pas intentionnelles.

Am 13. August 2025 gab Maison Solutions Inc. bekannt, dass sein Prüfungsausschuss nach Gesprächen mit der Unternehmensführung und dem unabhängigen Abschlussprüfer Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP zu dem Schluss gekommen ist, dass bestimmte zuvor veröffentlichte Abschlussangaben wegen Rechnungslegungsfehlern nach US GAAP nicht mehr zuverlässig sind. Das Unternehmen hat die betroffenen Abschlüsse für den betreffenden Zeitraum berichtigt und die Auswirkungen in seinem Jahresbericht 2025 offengelegt.

Die Berichtigung erhöhte den ausgewiesenen Kassenbestand um $2,074,298 im Zusammenhang mit der Übernahme von Lee Lee Oriental Supermart, Inc. im April 2024 und verringerte den Firmenwert um denselben Betrag. Das Unternehmen erklärt, die Korrektur betreffe ausschließlich die Cash-Buchung in der konsolidierten Bilanz und in den Cashflow-Ausweisen zum 30. April 2024 und habe keine Auswirkungen auf den ausgewiesenen Betriebsverlust, auf Non-GAAP-Kennzahlen, die Einhaltung finanzieller Covenants oder die leistungsabhängige Vergütung. Management und Prüfungsausschuss kamen zu dem Schluss, dass die Fehldarstellungen nicht vorsätzlich waren.

Positive
  • $2,074,298 in cash was correctly recorded following the restatement, increasing reported liquidity.
  • The restatement does not affect reported loss from operations, non-GAAP metrics, financial covenant compliance, or incentive compensation per the company's disclosure.
  • Management and the Audit Committee determined the misstatements were unintentional and involved the company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Negative
  • The company stated that previously issued audited and unaudited financial statements for the affected periods should no longer be relied upon.
  • The errors were determined to be material to the consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2024, indicating a significant prior-period misstatement.
  • The restatement required a corrective decrease to goodwill by $2,074,298, reflecting an error in acquisition accounting for the Lee Lee transaction.

Insights

TL;DR: A material balance-sheet restatement corrected a $2.07M cash and goodwill misclassification but left operating results and key metrics unchanged.

The restatement is material to the consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2024 because it increases cash and reduces goodwill by $2,074,298. Operational profitability and the company’s non-GAAP measures are reported as unaffected, which limits immediate earnings impact. Investors should note that prior filings for the affected periods should no longer be relied upon, and the correction will be reflected in the 2025 annual report. Overall, this is a balance-sheet level correction with limited stated operational impact.

TL;DR: Material misstatement required a restatement under SAB 99/108; raises questions on prior period accounting controls despite alleged non-fraudulent intent.

The company evaluated the errors under SAB 99 and SAB 108 and concluded they were material to the April 30, 2024 consolidated balance sheet. The explicit increase to cash and offsetting decrease to goodwill suggests a misclassification or omission in acquisition accounting for the Lee Lee acquisition. Management and the Audit Committee characterize the misstatements as unintentional and confirm no effect on covenants or operating results; however, a material restatement typically triggers scrutiny of internal controls and disclosure controls. Expect auditors and investors to seek details on the root cause and remediation steps in subsequent filings.

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.
