OFFERING CIRCULAR
Maison Luxe, Inc.
300,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
This Post-Qualification Offering Circular Amendment No. 1 (the “PQA”) amends the Offering Statement of Maison Luxe, Inc., a Nevada corporation, filed on March 17, 2022, and qualified on May 13, 2022, and as may be amended and supplemented from time to time, to: (a) add 100,000,000 additional shares of common stock to be offered by our company pursuant to this PQA, for a revised maximum of 300,000,000 shares of common stock; and (b) to reduce the offering price of the remaining 272,000,000 unsold shares of common stock (the “Remaining Shares”) to $0.003 per share (the price to be fixed by a post-qualification supplement).
By this Offering Circular, Maison Luxe, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is offering for sale a maximum of 300,000,000 shares of its common stock (the Offered Shares), at a fixed price of $0.003 per share, pursuant to Tier 1 of Regulation A of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). A minimum purchase of $5,000 of the Offered Shares is required in this offering, with any additional purchase required to be in an amount of at least $1,000. This offering is being conducted on a best-efforts basis, which means that there is no minimum number of Offered Shares that must be sold by us for this offering to close; thus, we may receive no or minimal proceeds from this offering. All proceeds from this offering will become immediately available to us and may be used as they are accepted. Purchasers of the Offered Shares will not be entitled to a refund and could lose their entire investments.
This offering commenced on May 13, 2022; this offering will terminate at the earliest of (a) the date on which the maximum offering has been sold, (b) September 20, 2023, or (c) the date on which this offering is earlier terminated by us, in our sole discretion. (See “Plan of Distribution”).

(2) | We have not enlisted the services of a broker-dealer or underwriter, but may at some time in the future. However, information as to any such broker-dealer or finder shall be disclosed in an amendment to this PQA. (See “Plan of Distribution”). |
(3) | Assumes that all of the Remaining Shares are sold. |
Our common stock is quoted in the over-the-counter under the symbol “MASN” in the OTC Pink marketplace of OTC Link. On October 3, 2022, the closing price of our common stock was $0.004 per share.
Investing in the Offered Shares is speculative and involves substantial risks, including the superior voting rights of our outstanding shares of Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which effectively preclude current and future owners of our common stock, including the Offered Shares, from influencing any corporate decision. The Series A Preferred Stock has 500 times that number of votes on all matters submitted to the holders of our common stock and votes together with the holders of our common stock as a single class. Our Chief Executive Officer, as the owner of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, will, therefore, be able to control the management and affairs of our company, as well as matters requiring the approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and any other significant corporate transaction. (See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares”).
You should purchase Offered Shares only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See “Risk Factors,” beginning on page 4, for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider before purchasing any of the Offered Shares.
THE SEC DOES NOT PASS UPON THE MERITS OF, OR GIVE ITS APPROVAL TO, ANY SECURITIES OFFERED OR THE TERMS OF THE OFFERING, NOR DOES IT PASS UPON THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OFFERING CIRCULAR OR OTHER SOLICITATION MATERIALS. THESE SECURITIES ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE SEC. HOWEVER, THE SEC HAS NOT MADE AN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION THAT THE SECURITIES OFFERED ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information contained in this Offering Circular includes some statements that are not historical and that are considered forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our development plans for our business; our strategies and business outlook; anticipated development of our company; and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations). These forward-looking statements express our expectations, hopes, beliefs and intentions regarding the future. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words anticipates, believes, continue, could, estimates, expects, intends, may, might, plans, possible, potential, predicts, projects, seeks, should, will, would and similar expressions and variations, or comparable terminology, or the negatives of any of the foregoing, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Circular are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments that are difficult to predict. We cannot guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting our company will be as currently anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties, along with others, are also described below in the Risk Factors section. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and should not make an investment decision based solely on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
OFFERING CIRCULAR SUMMARY
The following summary highlights material information contained in this Offering Circular. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before purchasing our common stock. Before making an investment decision, you should read this Offering Circular carefully, including the Risk Factors section and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms we, us and our refer and relate to Maison Luxe, Inc., a Nevada corporation, including its sole subsidiary, Maison Luxe, Inc., a Wyoming corporation.
Our Company
Our company was incorporated in 2002 in the State of Nevada, under the name MK Automotive, Inc. Our corporate name changed to Clikia Corp., in July 2017. From 2002 through 2015, our company was engaged in the retail and commercial automotive diagnostic, maintenance and repair services businesses, and, from December 2015 through January 2017, we pursued the commercial exploitation of Squuak.com, a social media and content sharing tool and platform. From January 2017 through April 2019, we operated an over-the-top (OTT) video streaming subscription service. From April 2019 through May 2020, we pursued a plan of business that called for our company to establish a private jet charter operation, an aircraft maintenance business, an aircraft sales and brokerage operation and an online aircraft parts store. Ultimately, these business efforts were unsuccessful, for differing reasons.
In April 2020, our company experienced a change in control, pursuant to which Mr. Anil Idnani became our controlling shareholder and sole officer and director. Following such change-in-control transaction, in May 2020, we acquired all of the assets, including the going business (collectively, the “Maison Luxe Business”), of Maison Luxe, LLC, a Delaware limited liability. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Maison Luxe, Inc., we own and operate the Maison Luxe Business.
In April 2021, our corporate name changed to “Maison Luxe, Inc.” and our trading symbol changed to “MASN.”

All of our future periodic reports, whether filed with OTC Markets or the SEC, will not be required to include the same information as analogous reports required to be filed by companies whose securities are listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ, for example.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Offered Shares involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Offering Circular, before purchasing any of the Offered Shares. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose a significant part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. (See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”).
Risks Associated with the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
It is possible that the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic could cause long-lasting stock market volatility and weakness, as well as long-lasting recessionary effects on the United States and/or global economies. Should the negative economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic result in continuing long-term economic weakness in the United States and/or globally, our ability to expand our business would be severely negatively impacted. It is possible that our company would not be able to sustain during any such long-term economic weakness.
We may suffer sluggish or negative sales growth as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Inasmuch as a majority of the global demand for luxury retail goods is from China, it is possible that the Maison Luxe Business will encounter difficulty in attracting buyers for its luxury retail goods. Should such be the case, our operating results would be negatively affected.
Risks Related to Our Company
We have incurred losses in prior periods, and losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows. We have incurred losses in prior periods. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred a net loss of $4,783,447 (unaudited) and, as of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of $10,053,021 (unaudited). For the year ended March 31, 2022, we incurred a net loss of $2,300,774 (unaudited) and, as of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of $5,269,574 (unaudited). Any losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows.
There is doubt about our ability to continue as a viable business. We have not earned a profit from our operations during recent financial periods. There is no assurance that we will ever earn a profit from our operations in future financial periods.
We may be unable to obtain sufficient capital to implement the full plan of business of Maixon Luxe Business. Currently, we do not have sufficient financial resources with which to establish our full plan of business. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sources of financing, in order to satisfy our working capital needs.
We do not have a successful operating history; we do not have a long-term operating history with respect to our recently acquired Maison Luxe Business. We are without a long-term history of operations in the luxury retail business, which makes an investment in our common stock speculative in nature. Because of this lack of operating history, it is difficult to forecast our future operating results. Additionally, our operations will be subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business, including, among other factors, efficiently deploying our capital, developing and implementing our marketing campaigns and strategies and developing awareness and acceptance of the Maison Luxe Business. Our performance and business prospects will suffer, in particular, if we are unable to:
| · | obtain access to inventory on acceptable terms; |
| · | achieve market acceptance of the Maison Luxe Business; |
| · | establish long-term customer relationships. |
There are risks and uncertainties encountered by early-stage companies. As an early-stage company, we are unable to offer assurance that we will be able to overcome the lack of brand recognition of the Maison Luxe Business and our lack of capital.
We may not be successful in establishing our business model. We are unable to offer assurance that we will be successful in establishing the Maison Luxe Business. Should we fail to implement successfully the business plan of the Maison Luxe Business, you can expect to lose your entire investment in our common stock.
We may never earn a profit. Because we lack a successful operating history with respect to our luxury retail business, we are unable to offer assurance that we will ever earn a profit therefrom.
If we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business may be adversely impacted. In the future, we may experience rapid growth in our aviation services, which could place a significant strain on our company’s infrastructure, in general, and our internal controls and other managerial, operating and financial resources, in particular. If we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business would be harmed. There is, of course, no assurance that we will enjoy rapid development in our business.
We currently depend on the efforts of our sole executive officer’s serving without current compensation; the loss of this executive officer could disrupt our operations and adversely affect the development of the Maison Luxe Business. Our success in establishing the Maison Luxe Business will depend, primarily, on the continued service of our sole officer, Anil Idnani. We have not entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Inani. The loss of service of Mr. Idnani, for any reason, could seriously impair our ability to execute our business plan, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business and future results of operations. We have not purchased any key-man life insurance.
If we are unable to recruit and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed. Our failure to enable the effective transfer of knowledge and facilitate smooth transitions with regard to our key employees could adversely affect our long-term strategic planning and execution.
Our business plan is not based on independent market studies. We have not commissioned any independent market studies with respect to the industry in which the Maison Luxe Business operates. Rather, our plans for implementing our aviation services and achieving profitability are based on the experience, judgment and assumptions of our sole executive officer. If these assumptions prove to be incorrect, we may not be successful in establishing the Maison Luxe Business.
Our Board of Directors may change our policies without shareholder approval. Our policies, including any policies with respect to investments, leverage, financing, growth, debt and capitalization, will be determined by our Board of Directors or officers to whom our Board of Directors delegates such authority. Our Board of Directors will also establish the amount of any dividends or other distributions that we may pay to our shareholders. Our Board of Directors or officers to which such decisions are delegated will have the ability to amend or revise these and our other policies at any time without shareholder vote. Accordingly, our shareholders will not be entitled to approve changes in our policies, which policy changes may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Business
The Maison Luxe Business may not achieve wide market acceptance. Without significant funds with which to market its luxury retail goods, our recently acquired Maison Luxe Business may not succeed in attracting sufficient customer interest and follow-on sales to generate a profit. There is no assurance that, even with adequate funds with which to market its luxury retail goods, the Maison Luxe Business will ever earn a profit from its operations.
We will remain in an illiquid financial position and face a cash shortage, unless and until we obtain needed capital. Currently, we are in an illiquid financial position and will remain in such a position, unless the Maison Luxe Business generates greater operating revenues and/or we obtain needed capital through this offering, of which there is no assurance. There is no assurance that we will ever achieve adequate liquidity.
We may not compete successfully with other businesses in the luxury retail goods industry. The Maison Luxe Business competes, directly or indirectly, with local, national and international purveyors of luxury retail goods. The Maison Luxe Business may not be successful in competing against its competitors, many of whom have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial stability and better access to capital markets and credit than we do. We also expect to face numerous new competitors offering goods and related services comparable to those offered by the Maison Luxe Business. There is no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against our competition.
Risks Related to Compliance and Regulation
We will not have reporting obligations under Sections 14 or 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor will any shareholders have reporting requirements of Regulation 13D or 13G, nor Regulation 14D. So long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, our directors and executive officers and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding common shares will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Such information about our directors, executive officers and beneficial holders will only be available through periodic reports we file with OTC Markets.
Our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act and we do not intend to register our common stock under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future; provided, however, that we will register our common stock under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of any fiscal year, more than either (1) 2,000 persons; or (2) 500 shareholders of record who are not accredited investors, in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
Further, as long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, we will not be subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, which, among other things, prohibits companies that have securities registered under the Exchange Act from soliciting proxies or consents from shareholders without furnishing to shareholders and filing with the SEC a proxy statement and form of proxy complying with the proxy rules.
The reporting required by Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act provides information to the public about persons other than the company who is making the tender offer. A tender offer is a broad solicitation by a company or a third party to purchase a substantial percentage of a company's common stock for a limited period of time. This offer is for a fixed price, usually at a premium over the current market price, and is customarily contingent on shareholders tendering a fixed number of their shares.
In addition, as long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, our company will not be subject to the reporting requirements of Regulation 13D and Regulation 13G, which require the disclosure of any person who, after acquiring directly or indirectly the beneficial ownership of any equity securities of a class, becomes, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the class.
There may be deficiencies with our internal controls that require improvements. Our company is not required to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. We are in the process of evaluating whether our internal control procedures are effective and, therefore, there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such independent evaluations.
Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements, including the requirements for independent board members. As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements that an issuer conducting an offering on Form S-1 or listing on a national stock exchange would be. Accordingly, we are not required to have (a) a board of directors of which a majority consists of independent directors under the listing standards of a national stock exchange, (b) an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written audit committee charter meeting a national stock exchange's requirements, (c) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written nominating/ corporate governance committee charter meeting a national stock exchange's requirements, (d) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written compensation committee charter meeting the requirements of a national stock exchange, and (e) independent audits of our internal controls. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of a national stock exchange.
Our holding company structure makes us dependent on our current subsidiary, and future subsidiaries, for our cash flow and subordinates the rights of our shareholders to the rights of creditors of our current subsidiary, and future subsidiaries, in the event of an insolvency or liquidation of any such subsidiary. Our company, Maison Luxe, Inc., will act as a holding company and, accordingly, substantially all of our operations will be conducted through subsidiaries. Such subsidiaries will be separate and distinct legal entities. As a result, our cash flow will depend upon the earnings of our subsidiaries. In addition, we will depend on the distribution of earnings, loans or other payments by our subsidiaries. No subsidiary will have any obligation to provide our company with funds for our payment obligations. If there is an insolvency, liquidation or other reorganization of any of our subsidiaries, our shareholders will have no right to proceed against their assets. Creditors of those subsidiaries will be entitled to payment in full from the sale or other disposal of the assets of those subsidiaries before our company, as a shareholder, would be entitled to receive any distribution from that sale or disposal.
Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares
There is no minimum offering and no person has committed to purchase any of the Offered Shares. We have not established a minimum offering hereunder, which means that we will be able to accept even a nominal amount of proceeds, even if such amount of proceeds is not sufficient to permit us to achieve any of our business objectives. In this regard, there is no assurance that we will sell any of the Offered Shares or that we will sell enough of the Offered Shares necessary to achieve any of our business objectives. Additionally, no person is committed to purchase any of the Offered Shares.
The outstanding shares of our Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock effectively preclude current and future owners of our common stock from influencing any corporate decision. Our Chief Executive Officer, Anil Idnani, owns 100% of the outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock has 500 times that number of votes on all matters submitted to the holders of our common stock and votes together with the holders of our common stock as a single class. Mr. Idnani will, therefore, be able to control the management and affairs of our company, as well as matters requiring the approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and any other significant corporate transaction. His control of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock may also delay or prevent a future change of control of our company at a premium price, if he opposes it.
We have outstanding convertible debt instruments that could negatively affect the market price of our common stock. Certain of our outstanding convertible debt instruments could negatively affect the market price of our common stock, should their respective exercise prices, at the time of exercise, be lower than the then-market price of our common stock. We are unable, however, to predict the actual effect that the conversion of any such convertible debt instruments would have on the market price of our common stock.
We may seek additional capital that may result in shareholder dilution or that may have rights senior to those of our common stock. From time to time, we may seek to obtain additional capital, either through equity, equity-linked or debt securities. The decision to obtain additional capital will depend on, among other factors, our business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, which could negatively affect the market price of our common stock or cause our shareholders to experience dilution.
You may never realize any economic benefit from a purchase of Offered Shares. Because the market for our common stock is volatile, there is no assurance that you will ever realize any economic benefit from your purchase of Offered Shares.
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to provide funds for the implementation of our business strategy. We do not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that holders of our common stock will receive cash, stock or other dividends on their shares of our common stock, until we have funds which our Board of Directors determines can be allocated to dividends.
Our shares of common stock are Penny Stock, which may impair trading liquidity. Disclosure requirements pertaining to penny stocks may reduce the level of trading activity in the market for our common stock and investors may find it difficult to sell their shares. Trades of our common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the SEC, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The SEC also has rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.
Our common stock is thinly traded and its market price may become highly volatile. There is currently only a limited market for our common stock. A limited market is characterized by a relatively limited number of shares in the public float, relatively low trading volume and a small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. The market for low priced securities is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Wide fluctuations in market prices are not uncommon. No assurance can be given that the market for our common stock will continue. The price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:
| · | quarterly variations in our operating results; |
| · | operating results that vary from the expectations of investors; |
| · | changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by investors; |
| · | reaction to our periodic filings, or presentations by executives at investor and industry conferences; |
| · | changes in our capital structure; |
| · | announcements of innovations or new services by us or our competitors; |
| · | announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
| · | lack of success in the expansion of our business operations; |
| · | announcements by third parties of significant claims or proceedings against our company or adverse developments in pending proceedings; |
| · | additions or departures of key personnel; |
| · | asset impairment; |
| · | temporary or permanent inability to offer products or services; and |
| · | rumors or public speculation about any of the above factors. |
The terms of this offering were determined arbitrarily. The terms of this offering were determined arbitrarily by us. The offering price for the Offered Shares does not necessarily bear any relationship to our company's assets, book value, earnings or other established criteria of valuation. Accordingly, the offering price of the Offered Shares should not be considered as an indication of any intrinsic value of such securities. (See “Dilution”).
Future sales of our common stock, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, could reduce the market price of our common stock. Our sole officer and a Director holds shares of our restricted common stock, but is currently able to sell his shares in the market. In general, our officers and directors and major shareholders, as affiliates, under Rule 144 may not sell more than one percent of the total issued and outstanding shares in any 90-day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of our common stock under Rule 144 or otherwise could reduce prevailing market prices for our common stock.
As of the date of this Offering Circular, there is a total of approximately 12,000,000 shares of our common stock underlying the currently convertible portions of convertible debt instruments and pursuant to agreements. All such shares constitute an overhang on the market for our common stock and, if and when issued, will be issued without transfer restrictions, pursuant to certain exemptions from registration, and could reduce prevailing market prices for our common stock. Also, in the future, we may also issue securities in connection with our obtaining needed capital or an acquisition transaction. The amount of shares of our common stock issued in connection with any such transaction could constitute a material portion of our then-outstanding shares of common stock.
You will suffer dilution in the net tangible book value of the Offered Shares you purchase in this offering. If you acquire any Offered Shares, you will suffer immediate dilution, due to the lower book value per share of our common stock compared to the purchase price of the Offered Shares in this offering. (See “Dilution”).
As an issuer of penny stock, the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us. Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.
DILUTION
Dilution in net tangible book value per share to purchasers of our common stock in this offering represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of the Offered Shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. In this offering, dilution is attributable primarily to our negative net tangible book value per share.
If you purchase Offered Shares in this offering, your investment will be diluted to the extent of the difference between your purchase price per Offered Share and the net tangible book value of our common stock after this offering. Our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2022, was $((1,280,874) (unaudited), or $(0.0108) (unaudited) per share. Net tangible book value per share is equal to total assets minus the sum of total liabilities and intangible assets divided by the total number of shares outstanding.

History
Our company was incorporated in 2002 in the State of Nevada, under the name MK Automotive, Inc. Our corporate name changed to Clikia Corp., in July 2017. From 2002 through 2015, our company was engaged in the retail and commercial automotive diagnostic, maintenance and repair services businesses, and, from December 2015 through January 2017, we pursued the commercial exploitation of Squuak.com, a social media and content sharing tool and platform. From January 2017 through April 2019, we operated an over-the-top (OTT) video streaming subscription service. From April 2019 through May 2020, we pursued a plan of business that called for our company to establish a private jet charter operation, an aircraft maintenance business, an aircraft sales and brokerage operation and an online aircraft parts store. Ultimately, these business efforts were unsuccessful, for differing reasons.
In April 2020, our company experienced a change in control, pursuant to which Mr. Anil Idnani became our controlling shareholder and sole officer and director. Following such change-in-control transaction, in May 2020, we acquired all of the assets, including the going business (collectively, the “Maison Luxe Business”), of Maison Luxe, LLC, a Delaware limited liability. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Maison Luxe, Inc., we own and operate the Maison Luxe Business.
In April 2021, our corporate name changed to “Maison Luxe, Inc.” and our trading symbol changed to “MASN.”
The Maison Luxe Business
Our company’s sole officer and a Director, Mr. Anil Idnani, founded the Maison Luxe Business with the vision of offering highly desired luxury retail consumer items that are responsibly-sourced and affordable to the end customer. Because of the dynamics and structure with the luxury retail industry, customers who desire luxury items are unable to avail themselves of such items, due to the unreliable nature of sellers and exorbitant prices. It is this void in the market place that Mr. Idnani identified as a business opportunity and established the Maison Luxe Business to provide customers with the experience of purchasing luxury items as a standard.
Mr. Idnani’s vision for Maison Luxe comes from his vast background in the luxury trade through his involvement in his family-owned and operated travel retail businesses, which were established over 30 years ago. As part of his responsibilities, Mr. Idnani developed an expertise in fine timepieces and jewelry, developing relationships with store fronts in duty-free ports in areas, such as Alaska and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In order to stay current with the brands and consumer needs, Mr. Idnani will continue to attend trade shows, both abroad and domestic, to develop additional knowledge and industry relationships with many of the most prestigious luxury brands available.
The business known as “Maison Luxe” was founded in January 2020, with the vision of becoming an industry leader in luxury retail. Maison Luxe focuses its efforts primarily within the fine time pieces and jewelry segments both on a wholesale and B2C (business-to-consumer) basis.
The Maison Luxe Business currently exploits three primary sales channels through which it sells its luxury retail items: (1) private client direct sales; (2) sales to wholesalers; and (3) sales to retail stores. Future sales efforts will remain reliant upon such sales channels, with an expanding presence in available social media sales channels and a more robust e-commerce sales channel through the Maison Luxe website.
Maison Luxe has been able to achieve relatively high volume and transactional sales due, in large measure, to its relationships with vendors, private clients and wholesalers. In addition, Maison Luxe has taken steps necessary to establishing an e-commerce platform through its website. It is expected that such e-commerce platform, in its fully functional format, will be ready to launch during the third quarter of 2020.
Maison Luxe only sources its items from reputable vendors that are well known to Mr. Idnani. Mr. Idnani chooses to stock items that are only in high demand and valuable with potential market appreciation. Maison Luxe aims to provide a quality experience to its customers, by always keeping inventory up to date and with a well-curated, post-sale process. Through its high quality customer service efforts, customers are able address questions or concerns with purchased products or to inquire of product availability. Maixon Luxe is not sponsored by, associated with or affiliated with any of its advertised brands or their subsidiaries.
Intellectual Property
We regard our trademarks, service marks and business know-how as having significant value and as being an important factor in the marketing of our luxury retail products. Our policy is to establish, enforce and protect our intellectual property rights using the intellectual property laws.
Facilities
Our sole officer and director provides our company with the office space required for our current operations at no charge. Our business office is located at 1 Bridge Plaza, 2nd Floor, Fort Lee, New Jersey. We do not own any real property.
Employees
We currently have no employees; our Chief Executive Officer, Anil Idnani, oversees our business development, corporate administration and business operations. Mr. Idnani also oversees record keeping and financial reporting functions. We intend to hire a small number of employees, at such times as business conditions warrant. We have used, and, in the future, expect to use, the services of certain outside consultants and advisors as needed, on a consulting basis.
Website
Our company’s corporate website can be found at www.maisonluxeny.com. We make available free of charge at this website all of our reports filed with OTCMarkets.com, including our annual reports, quarterly reports and other informational reports.

To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a discernable negative impact on the ability of our company to obtain capital needed to accelerate the development of our business.
With respect to our business operations, while our product sales have sustained since the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic has had a discernable short-term negative impact on our product sales, inasmuch as we have been limited in face-to-face sales meetings with respect to our products. We are unable to predict when such limitations will ease.
In light of these uncertainties, for purposes of the discussion below, except where otherwise indicated, the descriptions of our business, our strategies, our risk factors and any other forward-looking statements, including regarding us, our business and the market generally, do not reflect the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or our responses thereto.
Basis of Presentation
In May 2020, we acquired the Maison Luxe Business, which business has become the sole business of our company. This section presents information, and narrative descriptions thereof, concerning the operating results of (a) our company for the periods and as of the dates indicated, (b) Maison Luxe LLC for the period and as of the date indicated and, (c) where appropriate, pro forma financial information, which assumes our company’s acquisition of the Maison Luxe Business had occurred on certain prior dates, as indicated.
Cautionary Statement
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes, beginning on page F-1 of this Offering Circular.
Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the following discussion, as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those described under Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors. We assume no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements included herein.
2020 Changes: Business Plan and Management
At the close of business on April 28, 2020, there occurred a change in control of our company, whereby Mr. Anil Idnani purchased securities representing voting control of our company from AE Aviation, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company owned by our former sole officer and director, Dean E. Sukowatey. In conjunction with the change-in-control transaction, Mr. Sukowatey resigned as CEO and Director of our company. Mr. Idnani, an experienced luxury retail businessman, now serves as our sole director and officer.
Following the change-in-control transaction, and in light of the ongoing failure to establish our aviation business, our Board of Directors determined to acquire the Maison Luxe Business and has adopted its plan of business and ongoing operations as part of our overall operations.
Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance
Our future operating results will be primarily affected by the following factors:
| · | obtain access to inventory on acceptable terms; |
| · | achieve market acceptance of the Maison Luxe Business; |
| · | establish long-term customer relationships. |
We expect to incur operating losses through at least the fourth quarter of 2022. Further, because of our lack of capital and the current lack of brand name awareness of the Maison Luxe Business, we cannot predict the levels of our future revenues.

Plan of Operation
Our company’s sole officer, Mr. Anil Idnani, founded the Maison Luxe Business with the vision of offering highly desired luxury retail consumer items that are responsibly-sourced and affordable to the end customer. Because of the dynamics and structure with the luxury retail industry, customers who desire luxury items are unable to avail themselves of such items, due to the unreliable nature of sellers and exorbitant prices. It is this void in the market place that Mr. Idnani identified as a business opportunity and established the Maison Luxe Business to provide customers with the experience of purchasing luxury items as a standard.
Mr. Idnani’s vision for the Maison Luxe Business comes from his vast background in the luxury trade through his involvement in his family-owned and operated travel retail businesses, which were established over 30 years ago. As part of his responsibilities, Mr. Idnani developed an expertise in fine timepieces and jewelry, developing relationships with store fronts in duty-free ports in areas, such as Alaska and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In order to stay current with the brands and consumer needs, Mr. Idnani will continue to attend trade shows, both abroad and domestic, to develop additional knowledge and industry relationships with many of the most prestigious luxury brands available.
The business known as “Maison Luxe” was founded in January 2020, with the vision of becoming an industry leader in luxury retail. Maison Luxe focuses its efforts primarily within the fine time pieces and jewelry segments both on a wholesale and B2C (business-to-consumer) basis.
The Maison Luxe Business currently exploits three primary sales channels through which it sells its luxury retail items: (1) private client direct sales; (2) sales to wholesalers; and (3) sales to retail stores. Future sales efforts will remain reliant upon such sales channels, with an expanding presence in available social media sales channels and a more robust e-commerce sales channel through the Maison Luxe website.
The Maison Luxe Business only sources its items from reputable vendors that are well known to Mr. Idnani. Mr. Idnani chooses to stock items that are only in high demand and valuable with potential market appreciation. The Maison Luxe Business aims to provide a quality experience to its customers, by always keeping inventory up to date and with a well-curated, post-sale process. Through its high quality customer service efforts, customers are able address questions or concerns with purchased products or to inquire of product availability. The Maixon Luxe Business is not sponsored by, associated with or affiliated with any of its advertised brands or their subsidiaries.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, our liabilities exceeded our assets and we lacked working capital with which to implement our full plan of business with respect to our now-defunct aviation services business.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, in addition to funds provided by our operations, we obtained a total of $280,000 (unaudited) in cash through this offering. All of such funds were used to purchase inventory and for operating expenses.
We currently do not possess adequate capital with which to expand the Maison Luxe Business. With additional capital, including through this offering, if any, our management expects that we will be able to increase our rate of growth, quarter over quarter. There is not assurance that we will be able to obtain additional capital.
March 31,2022. At March 31, 2022, our liabilities exceeded our assets and we lacked working capital with which to implement our full plan of business with respect to our now-defunct aviation services business.
During the year ended March 31, 2022, in addition to funds provided by our operations, we obtained a total of $1,700,000 in loans from third parties. All such funds were used to purchase inventory and for operating expenses. (See “Convertible Promissory Notes” below).

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations
Maison Luxe, Inc. and Subsidiary (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) offers highly desired luxury retail consumer item such as fine time pieces and jewelry segment both on wholesale and business to consumer basis.
The parent (Maison Luxe Inc.) and subsidiaries are organized as follows:
Company Name | | Incorporation Date | | State of Incorporation |
| | | | |
Maison Luxe, Inc. ("Maison Luxe") | | January 20, 2002 | | Nevada |
Maison Luxe, Inc. ("Maison Luxe") | | May 11, 2020 | | Wyoming |
Clikia Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in 2002 in the State of Nevada, under the name “MK Automotive, Inc.” The Company’s corporate name changed to “Clikia Corp.” in July 2017. From 2002 through 2015, the Company was engaged in the retail and commercial automotive diagnostic, maintenance, and repair services businesses, and, from December 2015 through January 2017, our company pursued the commercial exploitation of Squuak.com, a social media and content sharing tool and platform. In February 2017, the Company acquired Clikia Corp., a Louisiana corporation (“Clikia-LA”), a Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based “over-the-top”, or OTT, video streaming service provider, and adopted the OTT video streaming business plan of Clikia-LA. In April 2019, the Company established a new business plan that calls for the establishment of a private jet charter service, aircraft maintenance operations, aircraft sales and brokerage operations and an online aircraft parts sales business. Ultimately, these business efforts were unsuccessful.
In April 2020, the Company experienced a change in control, and, in May 2020, the Company acquired all of the assets, including the going business (the “Maison Luxe Business”), of Maison Luxe, LLC, a Delaware limited liability. The Company’s newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Maison Luxe, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, now owns and operates the Maison Luxe Business, which constitutes the entirety of the Company’s business operations.
In 2021, the Company changed its name to Maison Luxe, Inc, and its trading symbol to MASN.
The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the international and United States economies and financial markets. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to significantly impact the Company’s supply chain, distribution centers, or logistics and other service providers.
In addition, a severe prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the business, including weakened demand for products and services and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. As the situation continues to evolve, the Company will continue to closely monitor market conditions and respond accordingly. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant economic impact due to Covid-19.
MAISON LUXE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had:
· | Net loss of $4,783,447; and |
· | Net cash used in operations was $420,004 |
Additionally, at June 30, 2022, the Company had:
· | Accumulated deficit of $10,053,021 |
· | Stockholders’ deficit of $1,280,874; and |
· | Working capital deficit of $1,545,874 |
The Company has cash on hand of $242,592 at June 30, 2022. Although the Company intends to raise additional debt or equity capital, the Company expects to continue to incur significant losses from operations and have negative cash flows from operating activities for the near-term. These losses could be significant as merchandise sales revenues ramp up along with continuing expenses related to consulting, compensation, professional fees, and regulatory fees are incurred.
The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitable operations. There can be no assurance that profitable operations will ever be achieved, or if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the period ended June 30, 2023, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts. The Company has satisfied its obligations from the issuance of both debt and equity; however, there is no assurance that such successful efforts will continue.
If the Company does not obtain additional capital, the Company will be required to reduce the scope of its business development activities or cease operations. The Company continues to explore obtaining additional capital financing sources and the Company is closely monitoring its cash balances, cash needs, and expense levels.
These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
MAISON LUXE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Management’s strategic plans include the following:
· | Pursuing additional capital raising opportunities (debt and/or equity), |
· | Continuing to develop core operations that will generate revenues, |
· | Explore and execute prospective partnering opportunities; and |
· | Identifying unique market opportunities that represent potential positive short-term cash flow. |
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Business Segments
The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company manages its business as one reportable segment. We do not have any property or equipment outside of the United States.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and change in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure.
The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)
Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.
Significant estimates during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, include the valuation of derivative liabilities, valuation of stock-based compensation, uncertain tax positions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. 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, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.
The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.
The three tiers are defined as follows:
| · | Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| · | Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and |
| · | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. |
The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, convertible notes payable and notes payable, are carried at historical cost. At June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk
For purposes of the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000. At June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, cash in bank exceeded FDIC insured limits by $0 and $152,596, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral.
Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made.
During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company received additional time pieces at no additional cost, in exchange for a reduction of accounts receivable of $79,900 from an existing customer.
Allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0 at June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $0 and $0, respectively.

Inventory
Inventory consists of fine time pieces and jewelry.
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.
Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation. Management assesses the recoverability and establishes reserves of the various inventory components on a quarterly basis and is based on the estimated net realizable values of respective finished inventory.
At June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, inventory was $2,304,098 and $2,673,490, respectively.
Investments
The Company has advanced funds for various investments into other companies at various stages of growth, all of which are carried at cost. At June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 investments were as follows:
Balance - March 31, 2021 | | $ | 300,000 | |
Sale of investments | | | (550,000 | ) |

Year Ended March 31, 2022
During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company paid $550,000 to acquire investments in various private companies.
During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company sold investments for cash proceeds of $570,000, resulting in a gain on sale of investments of $20,000. The gain has been netted as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Year Ended March 31, 2021
During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company paid $300,000 to acquire an investment in a private company. This investment was sold in 2022.

Property and Equipment
Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations.
Management reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment losses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, which consist of convertible notes payable and has determined that such instruments qualify for treatment as derivative liabilities as they meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, (“ASC 480”), “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, (“ASC 815”) “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations (other income/expense) as change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company uses a binomial pricing model to determine fair value of these instruments.
Upon conversion or repayment of a debt instrument in exchange for shares of common stock, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, the Company records the shares of common stock at fair value, relieves all related debt, derivatives, and debt discounts, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment. In connection with the debt extinguishment, the Company typically records an increase to additional paid-in capital for any remaining liability balance.
Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Original Issue Discount
For certain notes issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Debt Issue Cost
Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps:
| · | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer |
| · | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract |
| · | Determination of the transaction price |
| · | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
| · | Recognition of the revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied |
Identify the contract with a customer
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.
Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
Determine the transaction price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of the Company’s contracts as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, contained a significant financing component.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. For example, a bonus or penalty may be associated with one or more, but not all, distinct services promised in a series of distinct services that forms part of a single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.
Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised service to a customer.
When determining revenues, no significant judgements or assumptions are required. For all transactions, the sales price is fixed and determinable (no variable consideration). All consideration from contracts is included in the transaction price. The Company’s contracts all contain single performance obligations.
For our contracts with customers, payment terms are generally within 30 days from delivery of the product. The timing of satisfying our performance obligations does not vary significantly from the typical timing of payment.
We do not offer any returns, refunds or warranties, and no arrangements are cancellable.
Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)
Contract liabilities represent deposits made by customers before the satisfaction of a performance obligation and recognition of revenue. Upon completion of the performance obligation that the Company has with the customer based on the terms of the contract, the liability for the customer deposit is relieved and revenue is recognized.
At June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company had deferred revenue of $0 and $0, respectively.

Cost of Sales
Cost of sales primarily consists of product purchases.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.
The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options.
The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.
When determining fair value, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:
| · | Exercise price, |
| · | Expected dividends, |
| · | Expected volatility, |
| · | Risk-free interest rate; and |
| · | Expected life of option |

Stock Warrants
In connection with certain financing (debt or equity), consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of warrants issued for compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. However, for warrants issued that meet the definition of a derivative liability, fair value is determined based upon the use of a binomial pricing model.
Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants are recorded at fair value and expensed over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance if there is not a service period.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
The Company recognized $20,520 and $523 in marketing and advertising costs during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of common stock issuable for stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible notes and common stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.
In the event of a net loss, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share since the effect of the potential common stock equivalents upon conversion would be anti-dilutive.
The following potentially dilutive equity securities outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
| | June 30, 2022 | | | June 30, 2021 | |
| | | | | | |
Convertible debt | | | 166,207,377 | | | | 3,221,095,152 | |
Total common stock equivalents | | | 166,207,377 | | | | 3,221,095,152 | |
MAISON LUXE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)
The convertible notes contain exercise prices that have a discount to market ranging from 25% - 55% of the lowest trading price in the preceding 20 days as well as fixed conversion prices. As a result, the amount computed for common stock equivalents could change given the quoted closing trading price at each reporting period.
Based on the potential common stock equivalents noted above at June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company has sufficient authorized shares of common stock (500,000,000) to settle any potential exercises of common stock equivalents at June 30, 2022, however, at June 30, 2021, there were not a sufficient number of authorized shares of common stock to settle any potential conversions.
Preferred Stock (Temporary Equity)
We apply the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. We classify conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control, as temporary equity. At all other times, we classified our preferred shares in stockholders’ equity. Our preferred shares do not feature any redemption rights within the holders’ control or conditional redemption features not within our control. Accordingly, unless otherwise noted, all issuances of preferred stock are presented as a component of consolidated stockholders’ deficit.
There were no such instruments at June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
Related Parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Recent Accounting Standards
Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of ASU’s to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, except for the following:

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year.
We adopted this pronouncement on April 1, 2021; however, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange.
This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Issuers should apply the new standard prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date of the new standard. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an issuer elects to early adopt the new standard in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.
We adopted this pronouncement on April 1, 2022; however, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. While the Company is continuing to assess the timing of adoption and the potential impacts of ASU 2021-08, it does not expect ASU 2021-08 will have a material effect, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
We adopted this pronouncement on April 1, 2022; however, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 6 – Derivative Liabilities
The above convertible notes contained embedded conversion option with a conversion price that could result in issuing an undeterminable amount of future common stock to settle the host contract. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option is required to be bifurcated from the host instrument (convertible note) and treated as a liability, which is calculated at fair value, and marked to market at each reporting period.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended March 31, 2022, respectively, the Company used the binomial pricing model to estimate the fair value of its embedded conversion option liabilities on both the commitment date and the remeasurement date with the following inputs:
| | June 30, 2022 | | | March 31, 2022 | |
| | | | | | |
Expected term (years) | | | 1.00 | | | | 1.00 | |
Expected volatility | | | 278% | | | | 123% - 235% | |
Expected dividends | | | 0% | | | | 0% | |
Risk free interest rate | | | 2.80% | | | | 0.06% - 1.63% | |
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows at March 31, 2022 and 2021:
Changes in fair value of derivative liabilities are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a change in fair of derivative liabilities of $47,426 and ($0), respectively.
Derivative liabilities - March 31, 2021 | | $ | 643,014 | |
Fair value at commitment date | | | 371,450 | |
Fair value mark to market adjustment | | | (61,027 | ) |
Balance - March 31, 2022 | | | 953,437 | |
Fair value mark to market adjustment | | | 47,426 | |
Balance - June 30, 2022 | | $ | 1,000,863 | |
In connection with bifurcating the embedded conversion option and accounting for certain convertible notes payable, the Company computed a fair value on the commitment date, and upon the initial valuation of this instrument, determined that the fair value of the liability exceeded the proceeds of the convertible debt host instrument. As a result, the Company recorded a debt discount at the maximum amount allowed (the face amount of the debt), which required the excess to be recorded as a derivative expense.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a derivative expense of $0 and $0, respectively.

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations
Maison Luxe, Inc. and Subsidiary (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) offers highly desired luxury retail consumer item such as fine time pieces and jewelry segment both on wholesale and business to consumer basis.
The parent (Maison Luxe Inc.) and subsidiaries are organized as follows:
| Company Name | | Incorporation Date | | State of Incorporation |
| | | | | |
| Maison Luxe, Inc. ("Maison Luxe") | | January 20, 2002 | | Nevada |
| Maison Luxe, Inc. ("Maison Luxe") | | May 11, 2020 | | Wyoming |
Clikia Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in 2002 in the State of Nevada, under the name “MK Automotive, Inc.” The Company’s corporate name changed to “Clikia Corp.” in July 2017. From 2002 through 2015, the Company was engaged in the retail and commercial automotive diagnostic, maintenance, and repair services businesses, and, from December 2015 through January 2017, our company pursued the commercial exploitation of Squuak.com, a social media and content sharing tool and platform. In February 2017, the Company acquired Clikia Corp., a Louisiana corporation (“Clikia-LA”), a Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based “over-the-top”, or OTT, video streaming service provider, and adopted the OTT video streaming business plan of Clikia-LA. In April 2019, the Company established a new business plan that calls for the establishment of a private jet charter service, aircraft maintenance operations, aircraft sales and brokerage operations and an online aircraft parts sales business. Ultimately, these business efforts were unsuccessful.
In April 2020, the Company experienced a change in control, and, in May 2020, the Company acquired all of the assets, including the going business (the “Maison Luxe Business”), of Maison Luxe, LLC, a Delaware limited liability. The Company’s newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Maison Luxe, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, now owns and operates the Maison Luxe Business, which constitutes the entirety of the Company’s business operations.
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company changed its name to Maison Luxe, Inc, and its trading symbol to MASN.
The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruption in the international and United States economies and financial markets. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability. The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to significantly impact the Company’s supply chain, distribution centers, or logistics and other service providers.
In addition, a severe prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the business, including weakened demand for products and services and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. As the situation continues to evolve, the Company will continue to closely monitor market conditions and respond accordingly.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Liquidity, Going Concern and Management’s Plans
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, for the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company had:
· | Net loss of $2,300,774; and |
· | Net cash used in operations was $2,265,416 |
Additionally, at March 31, 2022, the Company had:
· | Accumulated deficit of $5,269,574 |
· | Stockholders’ deficit of $997,427; and |
· | Working capital deficit of $1,262,427 |
The Company has cash on hand of $402,596 at March 31, 2022. Although the Company intends to raise additional debt or equity capital, the Company expects to continue to incur significant losses from operations and have negative cash flows from operating activities for the near-term. These losses could be significant as merchandise sales revenues ramp up along with continuing expenses related to consulting, compensation, professional fees, and regulatory fees are incurred.
The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitable operations. There can be no assurance that profitable operations will ever be achieved, or if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the year ended March 31, 2023, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts. The Company has satisfied its obligations from the issuance of both debt and equity; however, there is no assurance that such successful efforts will continue.
If the Company does not obtain additional capital, the Company will be required to reduce the scope of its business development activities or cease operations. The Company continues to explore obtaining additional capital financing sources and the Company is closely monitoring its cash balances, cash needs, and expense levels.
These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
Management’s strategic plans include the following:
· | Pursuing additional capital raising opportunities (debt and/or equity), |
· | Continuing to develop core operations that will generate revenues, |
· | Explore and execute prospective partnering opportunities; and |
· | Identifying unique market opportunities that represent potential positive short-term cash flow. |

Principles of Consolidation
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Business Segments and Concentrations
The Company uses the “management approach” to identify its reportable segments. The management approach requires companies to report segment financial information consistent with information used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the basis for identifying the Company’s reportable segments. The Company manages its business as one reportable segment. We do not have any property or equipment outside of the United States.

Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and change in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure.
The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.

Use of Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.
Significant estimates during the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 include the valuation of derivative liabilities, valuation of stock-based compensation, uncertain tax positions, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures regarding fair value measurements. 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, based on the Company’s principal or, in absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.
The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, in periods subsequent to their initial measurement. The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable inputs when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs, when determining fair value.
The three tiers are defined as follows:
| · | Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| · | Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in the marketplace for identical or similar assets and liabilities; and |
| · | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. |
The determination of fair value and the assessment of a measurement’s placement within the hierarchy requires judgment. Level 3 valuations often involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Level 3 valuations may require the use of various cost, market, or income valuation methodologies applied to unobservable management estimates and assumptions. Management’s assumptions could vary depending on the asset or liability valued and the valuation method used. Such assumptions could include estimates of prices, earnings, costs, actions of market participants, market factors, or the weighting of various valuation methods. The Company may also engage external advisors to assist us in determining fair value, as appropriate.
Although the Company believes that the recorded fair value of our financial instruments is appropriate, these fair values may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

(UNAUDITED)
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, convertible notes payable and notes payable, are carried at historical cost. At March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the carrying amounts of these instruments approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (“fair value option”). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Credit Risk
For purposes of the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
The Company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents in the event of default by the financial institutions to the extent account balances exceed the amount insured by the FDIC, which is $250,000. At March 31, 2022 and 2021, cash in bank exceeded FDIC insured limits by $152,596 and $0, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding customer balances. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral.
Management periodically assesses the Company’s accounts receivable and, if necessary, establishes an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. Accounts determined to be uncollectible are charged to operations when that determination is made.
During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company received additional time pieces at no additional cost, in exchange for a reduction of accounts receivable of $79,900 from an existing customer.
Allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $0 at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
For the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $0 and $0, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists of fine time pieces and jewelry.
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market.
Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation. Management assesses the recoverability and establishes reserves of the various inventory components on a quarterly basis and is based on the estimated net realizable values of respective finished inventory.
At March 31, 2022 and 2021, inventory was $2,673,490 and $663,455, respectively.

During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company sold investments for cash proceeds of $570,000, resulting in a gain on sale of investments of $20,000. The gain has been netted as a component of general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Year Ended March 31, 2021
During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company paid $300,000 to acquire an investment in a private company. This investment was sold in 2022.
Property and Equipment
Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations.
Management reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment losses for years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Derivative Liabilities
The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, which consist of convertible notes payable and has determined that such instruments qualify for treatment as derivative liabilities as they meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under FASB ASC Topic No. 480, (“ASC 480”), “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and FASB ASC Topic No. 815, (“ASC 815”) “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period, with any increase or decrease in the fair value recorded in the results of operations (other income/expense) as change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The Company uses a binomial pricing model to determine fair value of these instruments.
Upon conversion or repayment of a debt instrument in exchange for shares of common stock, where the embedded conversion option has been bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability, the Company records the shares of common stock at fair value, relieves all related debt, derivatives, and debt discounts, and recognizes a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment. In connection with the debt extinguishment, the Company typically records an increase to additional paid-in capital for any remaining liability balance.
Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.
Original Issue Discount
For certain notes issued, the Company may provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Debt Issue Cost
Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps:
| · | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer |
| · | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract |
| · | Determination of the transaction price |
| · | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
| · | Recognition of the revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)
Identify the contract with a customer
A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer.
Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. To the extent a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct in the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
Determine the transaction price
The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. None of the Company’s contracts as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, contained a significant financing component.
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract
If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. However, if a series of distinct services that are substantially the same qualifies as a single performance obligation in a contract with variable consideration, the Company must determine if the variable consideration is attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract. For example, a bonus or penalty may be associated with one or more, but not all, distinct services promised in a series of distinct services that forms part of a single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

(UNAUDITED)
Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation
The Company satisfies performance obligations either over time or at a point in time. Revenue is recognized at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring a promised service to a customer.
When determining revenues, no significant judgments or assumptions are required. For all transactions, the sales price is fixed and determinable (no variable consideration). All consideration from contracts is included in the transaction price. The Company’s contracts all contain single performance obligations.
For our contracts with customers, payment terms are generally within 30 days from delivery of the product. The timing of satisfying our performance obligations does not vary significantly from the typical timing of payment.
We do not offer any returns, refunds or warranties, and no arrangements are cancellable.
Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)
Contract liabilities represent deposits made by customers before the satisfaction of a performance obligation and recognition of revenue. Upon completion of the performance obligation that the Company has with the customer based on the terms of the contract, the liability for the customer deposit is relieved and revenue is recognized.
At March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had deferred revenue of $0 and $0, respectively.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales primarily consists of product purchases.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income tax using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
MAISON LUXE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
The Company follows the accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in other expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions were recorded during the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for our stock-based compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” using the fair value-based method. Under this method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. This guidance establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges it equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.
The Company uses the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options.
The fair value of stock-based compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.
When determining fair value, the Company considers the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:
| · | Exercise price, |
| · | Expected dividends, |
| · | Expected volatility, |
| · | Risk-free interest rate; and |
| · | Expected life of option |
Stock Warrants
In connection with certain financing (debt or equity), consulting and collaboration arrangements, the Company may issue warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of warrants issued for compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. However, for warrants issued that meet the definition of a derivative liability, fair value is determined based upon the use of a binomial pricing model.
Warrants issued in conjunction with the issuance of common stock are initially recorded at fair value as a reduction in additional paid-in capital of the common stock issued. All other warrants are recorded at fair value and expensed over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance if there is not a service period.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
The Company recognized $3,255 and $0 in marketing and advertising costs during the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share
Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of common stock issuable for stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), convertible notes and common stock issuable. These common stock equivalents may be dilutive in the future.
In the event of a net loss, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share since the effect of the potential common stock equivalents upon conversion would be anti-dilutive.
The following potentially dilutive equity securities outstanding as of March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
| | March 31, 2022 | | | March 31, 2021 | |
| | | | | | |
Convertible note payable (exercise price $0.01 - $1.25/share) | | | 75,901,909 | | | | 14,643,239 | |
Total common stock equivalents | | | 75,901,909 | | | | 14,643,239 | |
The convertible notes contain exercise prices that have a discount to market ranging from 25% - 55% of the lowest trading price in the preceding 20 days as well as fixed conversion prices. As a result, the amount computed for common stock equivalents could change given the quoted closing trading price at each reporting period.
Based on the potential common stock equivalents noted above at March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has sufficient authorized shares of common stock (500,000,000) to settle any potential exercises of common stock equivalents.

Preferred Stock (Temporary Equity)
We apply the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” when determining the classification and measurement of preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. We classify conditionally redeemable preferred shares (if any), which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control, as temporary equity. At all other times, we classified our preferred shares in stockholders’ equity. Our preferred shares do not feature any redemption rights within the holders’ control or conditional redemption features not within our control. Accordingly, unless otherwise noted, all issuances of preferred stock are presented as a component of consolidated stockholders’ deficit.
There were no such instruments at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Related Parties
Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Recent Accounting Standards
Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of ASU’s to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements as issued by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year.

We adopted this pronouncement on April 1, 2021; however, the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Issuers should apply the new standard prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date of the new standard. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an issuer elects to early adopt the new standard in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. While the Company is continuing to assess the timing of adoption and the potential impacts of ASU 2021-08, it does not expect ASU 2021-08 will have a material effect, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no material effect on the results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, or cash flows.

Note 6 – Derivative Liabilities
The above convertible notes contained embedded conversion option with a conversion price that could result in issuing an undeterminable amount of future common stock to settle the host contract. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option is required to be bifurcated from the host instrument (convertible note) and treated as a liability, which is calculated at fair value, and marked to market at each reporting period.
During the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company used the binomial pricing model to estimate the fair value of its embedded conversion option liabilities on both the commitment date and the remeasurement date with the following inputs:
| | March 31, 2022 | | | March 31, 2021 | |
| | | | | | |
Expected term (years) | | | 1.00 | | | | 1.00 | |

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the derivative liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) is as follows at March 31, 2022 and 2021:
Derivative liabilities - March 31, 2020 | | $ | 82,023 | |
Fair value at commitment date | | | 1,737,661 | |

Fair value mark to market adjustment | | | (61,027 | ) |
Balance - March 31, 2022 | | $ | 953,437 | |
Changes in fair value of derivative liabilities are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
During the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a change in fair of derivative liabilities of $61,027 and ($1,176,670), respectively.
In connection with bifurcating the embedded conversion option and accounting for certain convertible notes payable, the Company computed a fair value on the commitment date, and upon the initial valuation of this instrument, determined that the fair value of the liability exceeded the proceeds of the convertible debt host instrument. As a result, the Company recorded a debt discount at the maximum amount allowed (the face amount of the debt), which required the overage to be recorded as a derivative expense.
For the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded a derivative expense of $171,450 and $1,432,661, respectively.
Note 7 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level in which to classify them for each reporting period. This determination requires significant judgments to be made.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed by applying the federal income tax rate in effect to the gross amounts of temporary differences and other tax attributes, such as net operating loss carryforwards. In assessing if the deferred tax assets will be realized, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the period in which these deductible temporary differences reverse.

MARCH 31, 2022
(UNAUDITED)
During the year March 31, 2022, the valuation allowance increased by approximately $354,000. The total valuation allowance results from the Company’s estimate of its uncertainty in being unable to recover its net deferred tax assets.
At March 31, 2022, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income, of approximately $4,261,000 (approximately $895,000 at the effective tax rate).
The Company is in the process of analyzing their NOL and has not determined if the Company has had any change of control issues that could limit the future use of these NOL’s. NOL carryforwards that were generated after 2017 may only be used to offset 80% of taxable income and are carried forward indefinitely. NOL’s generated prior to December 31, 2017 expire through 2037.
These carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and similar state provisions if the Company experienced one or more ownership changes which would limit the amount of NOL and tax credit carryforwards that can be utilized to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an ownership change, as defined by Section 382 and 383, results from transactions increasing ownership of certain stockholders or public groups in the stock of the corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three- year period. The Company has not completed an IRC Section 382/383 analysis. If a change in ownership were to have occurred, NOL and tax credit carryforwards could be eliminated or restricted.
If eliminated, the related asset would be removed from the deferred tax asset schedule with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, limitations created by future ownership changes, if any, will not impact the Company’s effective tax rate.
The Company files corporate income tax returns in the United States. Due to the Company’s net operating loss posture, all tax years are open and subject to income tax examination by tax authorities. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as tax expense. At March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, there are no unrecognized tax benefits, and there were no significant accruals for interest related to unrecognized tax benefits or tax penalties.
