Key Financial Metrics (FY2025 vs. FY2024)

Note: The filing does not provide a specific "Debt" line item other than lease liabilities. The company reported no off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Driven by a 24.10% increase in North American sales (to $55.4M) and new product categories (Tops, Swimsuits). This offset a 35.54% decline in European sales due to economic uncertainty.
• Profitability Decline: Despite revenue growth, Net Profit decreased by $465k. This was primarily due to a 46.97% increase in employee benefit expenses (recruitment of professional management post-IPO) and a 152.76% increase in depreciation of right-of-use assets due to new office leases.
• Accounting Changes: Implementation of IFRS 16 resulted in the capitalization of lease liabilities ($1.68M) and right-of-use assets ($1.58M), which were previously expensed as operating rent.
• Customer Concentration: Concentration decreased slightly; top 2 customers accounted for 79.7% of revenue in FY2025, compared to top 3 customers accounting for 82.2% in FY2024.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Outlook & Strategy:

• DIANA Brand Expansion: Aggressive push into the Southeast Asian market (Indonesia, Singapore) with a direct-to-consumer model targeting younger demographics. Plans include expanding into sleepwear, activewear, and period panties.
• Geographic Diversification: Aiming to reduce reliance on North America by expanding in Asia and Europe.
• Capital Use: Remaining IPO net proceeds (~$7.1M) are intended for brand development, professional fees, and working capital.

Key Risks & Contingencies:

• Related Party Conflicts: Significant conflict of interest regarding the "DIANA" brand license. The controlling shareholder (Mr. Salim Podiono) holds a 25% interest in the licensor (PT Diana Mode Indonesia). Risks include unfavorable renewal terms or brand equity accrual to the shareholder rather than the company.
• Customer Concentration: Heavy reliance on a small number of clients (approx. 80% of revenue from top 2-3 customers) with no long-term contracts.
• Supply Chain & Geopolitics: Exposure to Indonesian Rupiah fluctuations, supply chain disruptions in Indonesia/China, and political instability in Indonesia.
• Listing Status: Risk of delisting from NYSE American if financial or share price requirements are not met.

Investor Verification Checklist

• DIANA License Terms: Verify the specific renewal conditions and royalty caps in the trademark license agreement with PT Diana Mode Indonesia to assess the risk of value leakage to the controlling shareholder.
• Customer Contracts: Confirm the stability of the top 2 customers (approx. 80% of revenue) and the likelihood of order volume continuity given the lack of long-term agreements.
• Cash Flow Sustainability: Analyze the negative operating cash flow ($4.5M outflow) in FY2025 to determine if it is a one-time working capital adjustment or a structural issue.
• Related Party Balances: Review the $125k payable to related parties and $235k receivable from related parties to ensure arm's-length pricing and repayment terms.
• Lease Obligations: Assess the impact of the new 5-year office lease (commenced FY2025) on future EBITDA and cash flow requirements.
