those of our subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 810, Consolidation
(“ASC 810”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all its subsidiaries. Intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. Transactions
between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
b)
Basis of Preparation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAP).
Business
Combination/ Transaction:
On
December 8, 2023 (the “Closing Date” and such closing, the “Closing”), we consummated the previously announced
business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2023 (the “Business Combination Agreement”),
by and among us, Pegasus Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”)
and MOBV. As of the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into MOBV (the
“Merger”), with MOBV surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Business Combination”).
SVH
has given effect a 0.7806 share sub-division of all the shares of SVH, par value US $0.01 (“SVH Shares”) (both issued and
unissued) in accordance with section 13(1)(d) of the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands and the applicable provisions of
the Governing Documents (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of SVH (the “Stock Split”), such that the number of outstanding
SVH Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding the Escrowed Earnout Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) issued
in conjunction with the Stock Split) is 14,946,286.
Exchange
Consideration:
Each
MOBV Share (except for the Excluded Shares, as defined below) was automatically converted as of the Effective Time into the right to
receive the Per Share Consideration and each of the MOBV Warrants has automatically become a SVH Warrant and all rights with respect
to MOBV Shares underlying the MOBV Warrants have automatically converted into rights with respect to SVH Shares and thereupon assumed
by the SVH. The Excluded Shares refer to any MOBV Public Shares (a) held in the treasury of MOBV, (b) otherwise held by MOBV or (c) for
which a public shareholder of MOBV has demanded that MOBV redeem.
Each
issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted
into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving
Company, which constitutes the only outstanding share of capital stock of the Surviving Company.
Each
Excluded Share was surrendered and cancelled and has cease to exist and no consideration was be delivered exchange therefor.
Accounting
for the Transaction:
SVH
is both the legal and accounting acquirer as the shares of MOBV will convert into the right to receive SVH Shares (the “Per Share
Consideration”) and MOBV has legally become SVH’s wholly owned subsidiary as a result of the merger with Merger Sub.
The
Transaction will be accounted for as an asset acquisition. MOBV does not qualify as a Business per ASC 805-10-55-3A. Since the acquisition
is based on a monetary exchange, and most of the assets of MOBV are marketable securities in the Trust Account, the fair value of the
assets is the more evident value. The liabilities assumed are all of short-term nature which are deemed to be at fair value. As such
the fair value of the consideration given, in this case the transaction costs incurred, one to one share exchange and the Earn Out consideration
should be allocated using the relative fair value approach based on the net asset value acquired from MOBV. Given the nature of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed from MOBV, an allocation of the transaction costs and Earnout consideration cannot be made to the net
assets acquired. Accordingly, an immediate charge to operations would be recognized for the difference between the relative value allocated
to the earnout and the fair value, as well as for the value of the transaction costs.
Exchange
agreement
The
Exchange Agreement does provide the Company with the obligation to purchase the SVM shares for cash. “Cash Exchange Payment”
means with respect to a particular Call Exchange for which the Company has elected to make a Cash Exchange or a particular Put Exchange
for which the Shareholder has elected to receive a Cash Exchange Payment: The terms both a call and a put option with same strike price
and exercise dates applied and have a fixed redemption price. As such the Exchange Agreement should be classified as a liability under
ASC 480 and the NCI removed from equity with the subsidiary reported at 100% by the parent.
Earnout
shares
Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, certain shareholders of SVH (the “Pre-Closing Company Shareholders”) and certain shareholders of
SVM India (the “Other SVM India Stockholders” and together with the Pre-Closing Company Shareholders, the “Earnout
Group”) are entitled to receive their Pro Rata Portion (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of up to 25,000,000 SVH Shares (the
“Earnout Shares”).
Earn
Out Share payments are within the scope of ASC 480. The Company agreed to issue 25,000,000 Earn Out Shares over a three-year period based
on Vehicle Sales Revenue earned at each year, or in the aggregate for the three years. However, the number of shares to be delivered
can vary based on the discretion of the Company Board to waive the applicable Vehicle Sales Revenue trigger and release all or any portion
of the Earnout shares available, accordingly a liability will be record for the fair value of the Earn Out shares.
At
the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) of the Company convened at June 27, 2024, shareholders
approved the amendment to the agreement to permit the Issuance of Earnout Shares (as defined below) without the occurrence of Milestone
Events (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the “Amendment of the Earnout Agreement”). Pursuant to the amendment, the Escrow
Shares (as defined in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of March 13, 2023, by
and among the Company, Mobiv Acquisition Corp, and Pegasus Merger Sub Inc.) shall be released to the Earnout Group (as defined in the
Merger Agreement) immediately, but subject to vesting in three equal tranches each year over a three-year period (each year a “Vesting
Period”) with 1st vesting amount effective from approval of this EGM, regardless of the lack of occurrence of Milestone Events.
The Earnout Group shall receive the Escrow Shares multiplied by the weighted average exchange ratio of 15.59 per Escrow Share to reflect
the Company’s additional share issuances at the Closing of the Business Combination (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and, if
the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation are implemented, subsequently divided by the consequent number in the final RS Ratio
(for example, 15 for an RS Ratio of 1:15) as determined by the Board of Directors to reflect the effect of the Reverse Share Split and
Share Consolidation on the number of ordinary shares on issue. Therefore, the Earnout Group shall receive a total of as low as 25,983,334
if the Reverse Share Split and Share Consolidation are implemented (at an RS Ratio of 1:15) and 389,750,000 Earnout Shares if the Reverse
Share Split and Share Consolidation are not implemented (the “Earnout Shares”) (the “Issuance of Earnout Shares”).
The
Company amended its Memorandum of Association to increase its authorized share capital to US$10,000,000, comprising of 1,000,000,000
ordinary shares of US$0.01 par value with effect on August 2, 2024. The amendment was approved by special resolution of the shareholders
at the extraordinary general meeting on June 27, 2024, and subsequently implemented by the board of directors.
Pursuant
to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) of the Company convened at June 27, 2024, the Company’s
shareholders approved the release of Earnout Shares to the Earnout Group, without the occurrence of Milestone Events (as defined in the
Merger Agreement dated March 13, 2023) and a pro rata increase in the number of Earnout Shares in proportion to certain issuances of
shares made by the Company in advance of the closing of the Business Combination. The Merger Agreement was subsequently amended on September
12, 2024, to provide for the vesting of the Earnout Shares in three tranches as follows: 129,916,660 immediately; 129,916,660 on June
27, 2025; and 129,916,660 on June 27, 2026.
c)
Going Concern:
The
Company assesses and determines its ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with the provisions of ASC Subtopic 205-40,
“Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern”, which requires the Company to evaluate whether there
are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The
company is in the process of expanding its manufacturing facility in India and has therefore not yet achieved profitability. The Company
expects to continue to incur significant operating and net losses and negative cash flows from operations in the near future.
For
the seven months ended/year ended October 31, 2024,
and March 31, 2024, the Company incurred net losses of $34.23 million and $11.5 million, respectively.
As of October 31, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totalled $5.04 million. As of July 1, 2024, the Company had entered
into an additional financing such as Committed Equity Financing Facility (the “CEFF”) with investors to purchase up to $25,000,000
of the Company’s ordinary shares par value $0.01 per share over a three-year period (the “CEFF Financing”). Pursuant
to this arrangement, the Company on July 2, 2024, has received USD 1 million. The equity and the credit facility serve to minimize ongoing
liquidity requirements and ensure the Company’s ability to sustain its operations. Furthermore, the Company intends to raise additional
funds through private placement subject to market conditions. Please refer to Note 16, “Subsequent Event,” for further
information.
The
Company estimates that its current cash and cash equivalents balance with working capital and equity investment is sufficient to support
operations beyond the twelve months following the date these consolidated financial statements and footnotes were issued. These estimates
are based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and the Company could use its available capital resources sooner than it currently
expects.
d)
Use of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Management
believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Significant
estimates and assumptions are generally used for, but not limited to allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable; sales returns;
normal loss during production; inventory write-downs; future obligations under employee benefit plans; the useful lives of property,
plant, equipment; intangible assets; valuations; impairment of goodwill and investments; recoverability of advances; the valuation of
options granted, and warrants issued; and income tax and deferred tax valuation allowances, if any. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates.
Critical accounting estimates could change from period to period and could have a material impact on SVH’s results, operations,
financial position, and cash flows. Changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which changes are
made and, if material, their effects are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
e)
Revenue recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of
this standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
ASC
606 prescribes a 5-step process to achieve its core principle. The Company recognizes revenue from trading, rental, or product sales
as follows:
I.
Identify the contract with the customer.
II.
Identify the contractual performance obligations.
III.
Determine the amount of consideration/price for the transaction.
IV.
Allocate the determined amount of consideration/price to the contractual obligations.
V.
Recognize revenue when or as the performing party satisfies performance obligations.
The
consideration/price for the transaction (performance obligation(s)) is determined as per the agreement or invoice (contract) for the
services and products in the automobile segment. Refer to Note 14 - “Revenue Recognition.”
f)
Cost of Revenue
Our
cost of revenue includes costs associated with labor expense, components, manufacturing overhead, and outbound freight for our products
division.
g)
Earnings/(Loss) per Share
Basic
net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss by the number of weighted-average outstanding
common shares. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is determined by giving effect to all potential common
equivalents during the reporting period, unless including them yields an antidilutive result.
The
weighted average number of shares outstanding for the seven-month period ended October 31, 2024 and year ended March 31, 2024, used for
the computation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is 113,730,700 and 20,763,518 respectively.
h)
Income taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires an entity
to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequence attributable
to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and operating
loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rate expected to apply to
taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. A valuation allowance
is established and recorded when management determines that some or all of the deferred tax assets are not likely to be realized and
therefore, it is necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
In
evaluating a tax position for recognition, management evaluates whether it is more-likely-than-not that a position will be sustained
upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merits of the position. If the
tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax position is measured and recognized in the Company’s
financial statements as the largest amount of tax benefit that, in management’s judgment, is greater than 50% likely of being realized
upon settlement. As of October 31, 2024, there was no significant liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits.
i)
Accounts receivable
We
make estimates of the collectability of our accounts receivable by analyzing historical payment patterns, customer concentrations, customer
creditworthiness, and current economic trends. If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates, additional allowances may be required.
We had $ 20,707 accounts receivable, net of provision for doubtful debt of $ NIL as of October 31, 2024 (March 31, 2024; $ Nil).
j)
Cash and cash equivalents
For
financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturity of three months or less, to be cash
equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts in India. The cash and cash equivalents in the Company on October 31, 2024
was approximately $ 5.04 million (March 31, 2024; $ 0.18 million).
k)
Short-term and long-term investments
Our
policy for short-term and long-term investments is to establish a high-quality portfolio that preserves principal, meets liquidity needs,
avoids inappropriate concentrations, and delivers an appropriate yield in relationship to our investment guidelines and market conditions.
Short-term and long-term investments consist of corporate, various government agency and municipal debt securities, as well as certificates
of deposit that have maturity dates that are greater than 90 days. Certificates of deposit are carried at cost which approximates fair
value. Available-for-sale securities: Investments in debt securities that are classified as available for sale shall be measured subsequently
at fair value in the statement of financial position.
Investments
are initially measured at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration given for them, including transaction costs. Where the Company’s
ownership interest is in excess of 20% and the Company has a significant influence, the Company has accounted for the investment based
on the equity method in accordance with ASC Topic 323, “Investments – Equity method and Joint Ventures.”
Under the equity method, the Company’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the equity investee is recognized in
the consolidated statements of operations and its share of post-acquisition movements in accumulated other comprehensive income / (loss)
is recognized in other comprehensive income / (loss). Where the Company does not have significant influence, the Company has accounted
for the investment in accordance with ASC Topic 321, “Investments-Equity Securities.”
As
of October 31, 2024, investment in marketable securities is valued at fair value and investment in non-marketable securities with ownership
less than 20% is valued at cost as per ASC Topic 321, “Investments-Equity Securities.”
l)
Property, plant, and equipment (PP&E)
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the Written
down value method.
Upon
retirement or disposition, cost and related accumulated depreciation of the property and equipment are de-recognized, and any gain or
loss is reflected in the results of operation. Cost of additions and substantial improvements to property and equipment are capitalized.
The cost of maintenance and repairs of the property and equipment are charged to operating expenses as incurred.
m)
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC
820, “Fair Value Measurement” defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer
a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used
in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level
2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level
3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values due to the nature of the items. Please refer to Note 15, “Fair value of
financial instruments,” for further information.
n)
Concentration of credit risk and significant customers
Financial
instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are primarily comprised of cash and cash equivalents,
investments, accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable, if any. The Company places its cash, investments in highly rated financial
institutions. The Company adheres to a formal investment policy with the primary objective of preservation of principal, which contains
credit rating minimums and diversification requirements. Management believes its credit policies reflect normal industry terms and business
risk. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties and, accordingly, does not require collateral. During Fiscal
2024, sales were spread across customers in India and the credit concentration risk is low.
o)
Commitments and contingencies
Liabilities
for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigations, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable
that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. We record associated
legal fees as incurred. Information regarding our commitments and contingencies is incorporated by reference in Note 11, “Commitments
and contingencies” of these financial statements.
p)
Impairment of long – lived assets
The
Company reviews its long-lived assets, with finite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of assets may not be fully recoverable. Such circumstances include, though are not limited to, significant or
sustained declines in revenues or earnings, future anticipated cash flows, business plans and material adverse changes in the economic
climate, such as changes in operating environment, competitive information, and impact of changes in government policies. For assets
that the Company intends to hold for use, if the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows produced by the assets or subsidiary
company is less than the carrying amount of the assets, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value
of the assets. For assets, the Company intends to dispose of by sale, a loss is recognized for the amount by which the estimated fair
value less cost to sell is less than the carrying value of the assets. Fair value is determined based on quoted market prices, if available,
or other valuation techniques including discounted future net cash flows. Unlike goodwill, long-lived assets are assessed for impairment
only where there are any specific indicators for impairment.
q)
Inventory
Inventory
is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business,
less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.
Inventory
consists of raw materials, finished goods related to manufacture of Electronic vehicles. Inventory is primarily accounted for using the
weighted average cost method. Primary costs include raw materials, packaging, direct labor, overhead, shipping and the depreciation of
manufacturing equipment. Manufacturing overhead and related expenses include salaries, wages, employee benefits, utilities, maintenance,
and property taxes.
Electronic
Vehicles are measured at net realizable value, with changes recognized in profit or loss only when the Vehicle:
-
has a reliable, readily determinable, and realizable market value;
-
has relatively insignificant and predictable costs of disposal; and
-
is available for immediate delivery.
Abnormal
amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, scrap, discontinued products and wasted material (spoilage) are expensed in
the period they are incurred.
r)
Foreign currency translation
the
Company operates in India, Cayman Islands and a substantial portion of the Company’s financials are denominated in the Indian Rupee
(“INR”). As a result, changes in the relative values of the U.S. Dollar (“USD”), or the INR affect financial
statements.
The
accompanying financial statements are reported in USD. The INR is the functional currencies for subsidiary of the Company. The translation
of the functional currencies into U.S. dollars is performed for assets and liabilities using the exchange rates in effect at the balance
sheet date and for revenues and expenses using average exchange rates prevailing during the reporting periods. Adjustments resulting
from the translation of functional currency financial statements to reporting currency are accumulated and reported as other comprehensive
income/(loss), a separate component of shareholders’ equity.

s)
Leases
Lessee
Accounting
The
Company adopted ASU 2016-02 during the Fiscal year 2024. The standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires
a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will
be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income
statement. In connection with the adoption, the Company will elect to utilize the modified retrospective presentation whereby the Company
will continue to present prior period financial statements and disclosures under ASC Topic 840. In addition, the Company will elect the
transition package of three practical expedients permitted within the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions
about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. Further, the Company will adopt a short-term lease exception
policy, permitting us to not apply the recognition requirements of this standard to short-term leases (i.e., leases with terms of 12
months or less), and an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for certain classes of
assets.
Under
ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842), lessees are required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on
the commencement date: (i) lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured
on a discounted basis; and (ii) right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the
use of, a specified asset for the lease term.
At
the commencement date, the Company recognizes the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments not yet paid, discounted
using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing
rate for the same term as the underlying lease. The right-of-use asset is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the
initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease
incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. There was no impairment for right-of-use lease assets as of
October 31, 2024 (March 31, 2024: $ Nil).
The
Company categorizes leases at their inception as either operating or finance leases. On certain lease agreements, the Company may receive
rent holidays and other incentives. The Company recognizes lease costs on a straight-line basis without regard to deferred payment terms,
such as rent holidays, that defer the commencement date of required payments. Please refer to Note 8, “Leases,” for further
information.
t)
Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements
Changes
to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of accounting standards updates
(“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all
ASUs. Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected
to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements
that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows,
or disclosures.

The
Company has short-term leases primarily consisting of spaces with the remaining lease term being less than or equal to 12 months. The
total short- term lease expense and cash paid for Fiscal 2024 is approximately $ 6 thousand (March 31, 2024; $ 43 thousand). The Company
also has two operating leases as of October 31, 2024.
In
December 2023, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a lease term of 5 years starting from December 1, 2023. The annual lease
expense is approximately $18 thousand with escalation of 3 % every year. The lease contract does not contain any material residual value
guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The lease does not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company
discounts lease payments based on an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate.

Nasdaq
Delisting Determination and Appeal
On
July 24, 2024 and July 30, 2024, we received Staff Delisting Determination letters (the “Determinations”) from Nasdaq setting
forth a determination to delist our Ordinary Shares from Nasdaq as a result of our failure to regain compliance with each of their rules
with respect to (i) minimum Bid Price of $1.00, (ii) minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares of $15,000,000, and (iii) a minimum
Market Value of Listed Securities of $50,000,000. we submitted a request for a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”)
to appeal the Determinations. The hearing request was accepted by Nasdaq and the hearing is scheduled for September 5, 2024. On August
15, 2024, we submitted the written appeal with supporting points to provide six months extension to regain compliance. The hearing request
will stay the delisting of our Ordinary Shares and warrants until a determination is made by the Panel. The Ordinary Shares will continue
to trade on Nasdaq pending the outcome of the hearing before the Panel.
We
addressed the ongoing non-compliance matters before the Panel on September 5, 2024, and requested additional time to cure the deficiency.
On September 18, 2024, we received a letter from the Office of the General Counsel of Nasdaq notifying us that the Nasdaq Hearing Panel
(the “Panel”) had granted our request for continued listing on Nasdaq for a limited time to pursue our plan to regain compliance
with the Nasdaq listing requirements (the “Plan”). The Panel is requiring us fulfill the below requirements by November 14,
2024:
●
Submitting a public filing and financial statements that confirm the Company meets Nasdaq’s shareholder equity requirements; and
●
Providing detailed income projections for the next 12 months, including all underlying assumptions.
If
the Company is able to demonstrate compliance with the stockholders’ equity standard by November 14, 2024, the Panel will consider
granting the Company additional time to complete a reverse share split, if necessary to meet the Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement.
During
this period, we are also required to notify Nasdaq promptly of any significant developments. The Panel has reserved the right to withdraw
this exception if any such developments impact the feasibility of the Company’s continued listing. If our Ordinary Shares were
to be delisted by Nasdaq, the market liquidity of our Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected and the market price of our Ordinary
Shares could decline, even though such Ordinary Shares may continue to be traded “over-the-counter”.
NOTE
12 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As
of October 31, 2024, the Company’s marketable securities consist of liquid funds, which have been classified as Level 1 of the
fair value hierarchy because they have been valued using quoted prices in active markets. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents
have also been classified as Level 1 on the same principle. Financial instruments are classified as current if they are expected to be
liquidated within the next twelve months. The Company’s remaining investments have been classified as Level 3 instruments as there
is little or no market data. Level 3 investments are valued using cost-method.
The
following table presents information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October

13 – INCOME TAXES
The
Company calculates its provision for Income tax based on the current tax law Prevailing in India. Due to the Company’s history
of losses, there is no income tax liability accrued in the books during the current year and the previous year.
The
significant components of deferred income tax expense/(benefit) from operations for each of the Seven-months ended October 31, 2024 and
year ended March 31, 2024 are approximated as following:

| - | |
A
valuation allowance is recognized against deferred tax assets when, based on the consideration of all available positive and negative
evidence using a more likely than not criteria, it is determined that all or a portion of these tax benefits may not be realized. This
assessment requires consideration of all sources of taxable income available to realize the deferred tax asset including taxable income
in prior carry-back years, future reversals of existing temporary differences, tax planning strategies and future taxable income exclusive
of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. The Company incurred losses on a cumulative basis for the two-years period, which
is considered to be significant negative evidence. The positive evidence considered in support was insufficient to overcome this negative
evidence. As a result, the Company established a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax asset in the amount of Nil as of October
31, 2024 (March 31, 2024: Nil thousand).

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References
in this section to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to SVH. The following discussion
and analysis should be read together with the historical audited annual combined financial statements and the related notes that are
included elsewhere in this discussion and analysis. The discussion and analysis should also be read together with the financial information
for the period ended October 31, 2024. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ
materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include
those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this information statement.
Recent
Developments
Business
Combination
On
March 13, 2023, SVH entered into the Business Combination Agreement with Pegasus Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct,
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and MOBV. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the parties thereto entered
into a business combination transaction by which Merger Sub merged with and into MOBV, with MOBV surviving such merger as a wholly owned
subsidiary of SVH. The Business Combination closed on December 8, 2023, and MOBV is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of SVH. The SVH Shares
are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “SVMH” and SVH Warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “SVMHW”.
The
merger was accounted for as an asset purchase, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, MOBV will was treated as
the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent
of SVH issuing stock for the net assets of MOBV. The net assets of MOBV was stated at fair value, with no goodwill or other intangible
assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination were those of SVH.
The
most significant change in SVH’s future reported financial position and results was an estimated increase in cash (as compared
to SVH’s combined balance sheet on March 31, 2024) to approximately US$5 million.
As
a consequence of the merger, SVH became the successor to an SEC-registered company, which will require SVH to hire additional personnel
and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. SVH expects to incur
additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director
fees and additional internal and external accounting and legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees.
Closing
of the Business Combination
On
December 8, 2023 (the “Closing Date” and such closing, the “Closing”), we consummated the previously announced
business combination pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of March 13, 2023 (the “Business Combination Agreement”),
by and among us, Merger Sub and MOBV. As of the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub
merged with and into MOBV (the “Merger”), with MOBV surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the
“Business Combination”).
In
connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into, among other arrangements, (1) exchange
agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain shareholders of SVM, pursuant to which, among other things such shareholders
of SVM have a right to transfer one or more of the shares owned by them in SVM to us in exchange for the delivery of Shares or cash payment,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreements, and (2) a registration rights agreement (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”) with certain of its shareholders and the Sponsor.
On
December 11, 2023, our ordinary shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “SVMH”.
Ionic
Purchase Agreement
We
entered into the Purchase Agreement with Ionic Ventures, LLC (“Ionic”) on July 1, 2024, which provides that, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth therein, we have the right to direct Ionic to purchase up to an aggregate of
US$25,000,000 of ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) over the 36-month term
of the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Shares”). We issued an initial exemption purchase notice to Ionic for US$1 million
on July 1, 2024. The Purchase Agreement prohibits the Company from issuing Shares to Ionic in excess of 4.99% of the then outstanding
ordinary shares of the Company at any given time.
After
the satisfaction of the commencement conditions, we will have the right to present Ionic with a regular purchase notice (“Regular
Purchase Notice”) directing Ionic to purchase any amount no less than US$250,000 and no greater than US$1,000,000 of our Ordinary
Shares per trading day, at a per share price equal to 97% (or 80% if the Ordinary Shares are not then trading on the Nasdaq Global Market)
of the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) over a specified measurement period, as described further in the Purchase
Agreement. If an Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) occurs between the date on which a Regular Purchase Notice is
delivered to Ionic and such specified measurement period, such price per share will be adjusted to 85% (or 90% in the event the Ordinary
Shares are not then trading on the Nasdaq Global Market) for so long as such Event of Default remains uncured.
The
Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us if certain conditions to commence have not been satisfied by July 31, 2024. The Purchase Agreement
may also be terminated by us at any time after commencement, at our discretion; provided, however, that if we have sold less than US$6,000,000
worth of Purchase Shares to Ionic (other than as a result of our inability to sell Purchase Shares to Ionic as a result of the Beneficial
Ownership Limitation or our failure to have sufficient Ordinary Shares authorized), we will pay to Ionic a termination fee of US$300,000,
which is payable, at our option, in cash or in Ordinary Shares at a price equal to the closing price of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq
Global Market on the trading day immediately preceding the date of receipt of the termination notice. Further, the Purchase Agreement
will automatically terminate on the date that we sell, and Ionic purchases, the full US$25,000,000 of Purchase Shares under the agreement
or, if all such Purchase Shares have not been purchased, on the expiration of the 36-month term of the Purchase Agreement.
The
Company has currently reserved 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares that will be issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. In the event such
reserve is not increased or the total number of the Company’s authorized shares are not increased, the number of Purchase Shares
that may be issued will be constrained thereby.
Ionic
Registration Rights Agreement
Concurrently
with entering into the Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of July 1, 2024, by and between
us and Ionic Ventures (the “the Ionic Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to file one or more registration
statements, as necessary, to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the resale of all Ordinary Shares that may, from
time to time, be issued or become issuable to Ionic under the Purchase Agreement and the Ionic Registration Rights Agreement. We are
filing this registration statement in part to fulfill our obligations under the Ionic Registration Rights Agreement.
Placement
Agency Agreement
In
connection with the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement (the
“Placement Agency Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”). Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreement,
the Company must pay Maxim (i) a cash fee equal to 5.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the sale of Purchase Shares in connection
with any exemption purchase notice; and (ii) a cash fee equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the sale of Purchase
Shares in connection with any Regular Purchase Notice. The Company must also reimburse Maxim, directly upon the initial closing under
the Purchase Agreement for all travel and other documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Maxim, including the reasonable fees, costs
and disbursements of its legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed an aggregate of $5,000. The Company owes Maxim a total of $50,000
from the gross proceeds of $1,000,000 due to the Company from the exemption purchase notice dated July 1, 2024. If the Company issues
additional Ordinary Shares to Ionic pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company would be obligated to pay Maxim cash fees of up to
$720,000, assuming the remaining $24,000,000 of Purchase Shares are issued pursuant to Regular Purchase Notices.
The
Company also agreed to indemnify Maxim and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and controlling persons against all losses,
claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, as the same are incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), relating
to or arising out of its activities pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement.
The
foregoing descriptions of each of the Purchase Agreement, the Ionic Registration Rights Agreement, and the Placement Agency Agreement
do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety to the full text of such documents, which are filed as exhibits to
this registration statement.
Nasdaq
Delisting Determination and Appeal
On
July 24, 2024 and July 30, 2024, we received Staff Delisting Determination letters (the “Determinations”) from Nasdaq setting
forth a determination to delist our Ordinary Shares from Nasdaq as a result of our failure to regain compliance with each of their rules
with respect to (i) minimum Bid Price of $1.00, (ii) minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares of $15,000,000, and (iii) a minimum
Market Value of Listed Securities of $50,000,000. On July 30, 2024, we submitted a request for a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the
“Panel”) to appeal the Determinations. The hearing request was accepted by Nasdaq and the hearing is scheduled for September
5, 2024. The hearing request will stay the delisting of our Ordinary Shares and warrants until a determination is made by the Panel.
The Ordinary Shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq pending the outcome of the hearing before the Panel. We will address the ongoing
non-compliance matters before the Panel and will request additional time to cure the deficiency. There can be no assurance that, following
the hearing, the Panel will grant our request for additional time to regain compliance. If the Panel does not grant our request for additional
time to comply, our Ordinary Shares will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. If our Ordinary Shares were to be delisted by Nasdaq, the
market liquidity of our Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected and the market price of our Ordinary Shares could decline, even though
such Ordinary Shares may continue to be traded “over-the-counter”.
Amendment
of Memorandum of Association and Release of Earnout Shares
The
Company amended its Memorandum of Association to increase its authorized share capital to US$10,000,000, comprising of 1,000,000,000
ordinary shares of US$0.01 par value with effect on August 2, 2024. The amendment was approved by special resolution of the shareholders
at the extraordinary general meeting on June 27, 2024, and subsequently implemented by the board of directors.
Pursuant
to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) of the Company convened at June 27, 2024, the Company’s
shareholders approved the release of Earnout Shares to the Earnout Group, without the occurrence of Milestone Events (as defined in the
Merger Agreement dated March 13, 2023) and a pro rata increase in the number of Earnout Shares in proportion to certain issuances of
shares made by the Company in advance of the closing of the Business Combination. The Merger Agreement was subsequently amended on September
12, 2024, to provide for the vesting of the Earnout Shares in three tranches as follows: 129,916,660 immediately; 129,916,660 on June
27, 2025; and 129,916,660 on June 27, 2026.
Maxim
Underwriting Agreement for subscription of 106,267,734 shares
We
entered into an underwriting agreement on October 31, 2024 for subscription of 106,267,734 shares. It was a firm commitment public offering
of 106,267,734 units (“Units”), each Unit consisting of one ordinary share, par value $0.01 per share (“ordinary share”)
or one pre-funded warrant (“pre-funded warrant”), and one warrant (“warrant”) to purchase one ordinary share,
which can be exercisable for two ordinary shares pursuant to an alternative cashless exercise provision (collectively “the Securities”)
at an assumed public offering price of $0.064 per Unit, which was the closing price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Market
(“Nasdaq”) on October 30, 2024. The public offering price per Unit shall be the determined between us and the underwriters
and will be based on market conditions at the time of pricing, and may be at a discount to the then current market price of our ordinary
shares. Therefore, the recent market price of our ordinary shares referenced throughout this preliminary prospectus may not be indicative
of the final offering price per Unit. The Units have no stand-alone rights and will not be certified or issued as stand-alone securities.
The ordinary shares or pre-funded warrants and warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately in this offering. Each
warrant will become exercisable for one ordinary share, and can be exercisable for two ordinary shares pursuant to an alternative cashless
exercise provision at an assumed exercise price of $0.096 per share (150% of the assumed public offering price per Unit) upon shareholder
approval (to the extent required by Nasdaq rules) and will expire five years from the date of shareholder approval.
Key
Factors Affecting the Company’s Operating Results
SVH
and its subsidiary have been developing their E2W vehicles for the past five years. SVH began early-stage commercial sales in 2021 and
its products have been in commercial use for the past two years. SVH believes that its future success and financial performance depends
on several factors that present significant opportunities for our business, but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed
below.
Innovation
SVH
is committed to the E2W market and plans to invest in technology, manufacturing, distribution, and service that will delight our customers
and deliver pioneering E2W by means of design, software and customer experience. The E2W vehicle market is highly competitive and includes
both established manufacturers and new entrants. SVH expects to become a leading electric motorcycle brand as the first Indian E2W company
publicly traded in the U.S.
Distribution,
Sales and Service
Our
growth will depend on our ability to achieve vehicle revenue targets, which depends on our ability to successfully execute our sales
and marketing strategy, while retaining our premium brand perception. We have received over 700 distributor applications in India, but
have not signed any agreements as of the date hereof. Prana has been in early commercial production and sales for the past two years,
and our customers’ feedback has been positive and customer interest has been robust. To maintain our premium brand position, it
is imperative that we do not disappoint customers, and so we accepted only limited orders, to ensure satisfactory delivery times and
quality control. We expect to increase our sales and delivery schedules as we increase production capacity and achieve high volume production.
We
plan to raise brand awareness primarily through online and social media channels, in addition to our Customer Experience physical touchpoints.
In keeping with our premium brand, we intend to provide superior customer experience through our direct and franchised technicians, who
will assist in delivery and after-sales care at our customer’s location.
SVM
operates a hybrid sales and services model through SVM Experience Centre and franchise-operated Experience Centre. SVH expects to continue
to expand throughout India, and regionally in Asia.
Establishing
Contract Manufacturing Capacity and Supply Chain Management
Achieving
our business plan will require us to expand our supply chain and contract manufacturing capacity. The scope of our future contract manufacturing
capacity requirements and resulting capital expenditures will depend on many factors, including the growth of our sales and marketing
initiatives, our ability to develop and launch new electric vehicles, our ability to utilize planned capacity in its existing contract
manufacturers’ facilities, our ability to retain contract manufacturing relationships, access to capital, and the timing of our
entry into new markets.
Global
supply chain and logistics challenges affect SVH and its industry. As a result of these challenges, SVH has experienced cost increases
for logistics, raw materials and purchased components, as well as increased manufacturing costs. SVM’s location in India, however,
mitigates some of the higher costs as labor, land, and other input prices remain lower in India. It is expected that certain components,
logistics, and manufacturing costs will stabilize in 2024, but that certain inflation in raw materials and components, especially with
respect to batteries, will persist in the near term. Furthermore, SVM buys certain of its components in U.S. dollars, while selling products
and services domestically in Indian rupees. Any fluctuations in the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar to the Indian rupee may have adverse
effects on SVM’s financial condition and results of operation.
The
Company has also in the past experienced some supply chain disruption for certain components, including semiconductor chips. While these
disruptions have not materially impacted production volumes to date, SVM expects production to accelerate, which could aggravate the
effects of future supply disruptions on its business.
The
global supply chain and logistics disruptions continue to impact SVH and the automotive industry. Our ability to manufacture vehicles
is dependent on the continued supply of manufacturing inputs. Fluctuations in the cost of input materials or components and supply interruptions
or shortages could materially impact our business. For example, following the launch of a military action in Ukraine by Russia in February
2022, commodity prices, including the price of oil, gas, nickel, copper, lithium, and aluminum, increased. Sanctions and other measures
imposed in response to such actions by countries and bodies around the world, as well as the existing and potential further responses
from Russia or other countries subject to such sanctions, tensions and military action, could result in persistent volatility in commodity
prices and interruptions of supply of manufacturing inputs. In addition, some components of our vehicles are manufactured in China and
we depend on our suppliers there to deliver these components in order to deliver our products to our customers.
Contracting
with Industry-Leading Original Component Manufacturers and Innovative Battery Technology Research Companies
SVH
has contracted with a limited number of battery manufacturers to allow us to secure additional battery supplies with improved technologies
and scale rapidly with low capital intensity.
SVH
believes that our experience manufacturing and selling the Prana product line will reduce the execution risk typically associated with
new vehicle companies. Through such platform sharing, component sourcing, and manufacturing partnerships, SVH believes that it will be
able to accelerate market access and reduce investment in development. SVH intends to meet timing, cost, and quality expectations while
optimizing cost structures by leveraging its partnerships and in-house expertise. Maintaining maximum component independence allows SVH
to dynamically select partners and components to its advantage and enables the Company to focus on design innovation, customer experience,
and user interface that integrates software and hardware as well as products and services.
Market
Trends and Competition
SVH
offers innovative and proprietary E2W vehicles in India, one of the largest markets in the world for TWV. India’s market offers
a young and growing population, rising incomes, rapid urbanization, and a supportive government whose policies promote electric vehicles,
or EV, generally. Existing competitors supply mostly ICE powered vehicles at a higher TCO, and low-end electric scooters. SVH believes
it offers the only premium electric motorcycle in India that is affordable to young urban professionals and compares favorably on TCO.
Regulatory
Landscape
SVH
operates in an industry that is subject to and benefits from a regulated environment. In addition to rules and regulations that apply
to all vehicles, including safety, service, and emissions, most recent regulations have been targeting environmental concerns, which
regulations have generally become more stringent over time. Regulations in target markets include economic incentives to purchase EV
generally and E2W specifically, to deploy vehicle charging stations, to manufacture components locally in India, and to improve roads.
While SVH expects environmental regulations to benefit our growth, certain regulations may result in higher costs and lower margins.
Sustainability
SVH’s
is a leader in sustainable mobility, prioritizing responsible business practices to sustain people and planet and allow a future that
is safe for posterity.
Our
vehicles, products, and services promote several of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, notably:
|
● |
Affordable
and Clean Energy; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Sustainable
Cities and Communities; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
Responsible
Consumption and Production. |
Sustainable
Design: SVH’s designs reduce material consumption, carbon emissions, and noise pollution.
Net
Zero: SVH is committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by decarbonizing both our own operations, as well as our zero-emissions
vehicles.
Stakeholder
Attitude: SVH aims to improve the working conditions of our employees and make our communities desirable places to live, work, and ride.
Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
financial reporting function and system of internal controls are less developed in certain respects than those of similar companies and
may not provide our management with as much or as accurate or timely information. A deficiency in internal controls exists when the design
or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent,
or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those
responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, has defined
a material weakness as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is
a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis.
Although
we are not yet subject to the certification or attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in connection with
the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended October 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2024,
our management and our independent registered public accounting firm did not identify any deficiencies.
As
a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue for our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant
to the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise
applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Components
of Results of Operations
Revenue
SVM
generates revenue from the sale of E2W, related products and accessories, and value-added services. E2W are sold both directly to retail
end users through SVM’s Customer Experience centers and online, as well as to a network of dealer partners. SVM expects revenue
to increase in future periods as it expects shipments of current models to grow as well as from the introduction of new models that will
expand its target market.
Cost
of Revenue/Goods Sold
Cost
of goods sold primarily consists of direct materials, components, in-bound freight, customs and duties, supplies, labor-related costs,
including salaries, benefits and share-based compensation. and allocated overhead costs, including facilities costs, depreciation of
manufacturing-related equipment and facilities and other direct costs. SVM expects its cost of goods sold to increase in absolute dollars
as it expects to produce more vehicles for its growing sales. SVM expects cost of goods sold per unit to decrease as its growth allows
for improved terms in purchasing and as economies of scale take hold in its production process.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expense
Selling,
general, and administrative, or SG&A, expenses consist of personnel-related expenses for SVM’s corporate, executive, finance,
engineering, product development and other administrative functions, expenses for outside professional services, including legal, audit
and advisory services as well as expenses for depreciation and amortization of assets and facilities not directly involved in production,
and marketing and advertising costs. Personnel-related expenses consist of salaries, benefits, and share-based compensation. SG&A
expenses also include other engineering expenses, which consist of expenditures for research and development activities relating to product
development and improvements.
SVM
expects absolute SG&A expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as it scales headcount, expands hiring of engineers and designers,
continues to invest in new designs and development of technology in order to drive the growth of the business, and as a result of operating
as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit and internal controls, additional insurance
expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services.
Depreciation
and Amortization Expenses
Depreciation
and amortization costs relate to the depreciation of manufacturing-related equipment and facilities and the amortization of definite-lived
intangible assets. SVM expects depreciation and amortization costs to increase in absolute terms as it invests in property, plant, and
equipment and in developing its intellectual property estate.
Amortization
is calculated based on the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated
useful lives, from the date that they are available for use and is recognized in profit or loss. The amortization is included in “General
and administrative expenses.”
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with credit facilities employed in the procurement, manufacturing and sales
of SVH’s vehicles, products, and services.
Income
Tax Provision
SVM’s
income taxes as presented are calculated on a separate tax return basis. The income tax provision (benefit) consists of an estimate for
national, federal, state, local, and foreign income taxes based on enacted rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain
tax positions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in the tax law. SVM has generated operating losses in each
of the years presented.
Results
of Operations
SVH
generates revenue from the sale of E2W, related products and accessories, and value-added services. E2W are sold both directly to retail
end users through SVM’s Customer Experience centers and online, as well as to a network of dealer partners. SVH expects revenue
to increase in future periods as it expects shipments of current models to grow as well as from the introduction of new models that will
expand its target market.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any unconsolidated third
parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders’
equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest
in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or contractual arrangements that support the credit, liquidity or market risk for such
transferred assets. Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity.
Contractual
Obligations
SVH
does not have any material contractual obligations of its own. The previously availed HSBC Facility has been repaid in full and closed.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of October 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to US$ 5.04 million.
We
have historically managed liquidity risk by effectively managing our working capital, capital expenditures and cash flows, and deploying
resources to match production needs.
Investments
and Borrowing Requirements
As
an early-stage growth company, we do not currently have, nor do we expect to generate from operations, adequate liquidity to fund our
operations for the next twelve months. To alleviate such conditions, we are currently discussing funding commitments with several parties.
Accordingly, management believes that cash on hand and the financing facilities it has arranged will provide sufficient liquidity to
meet our projected obligations, including those related to existing contractual obligations, for at least the next twelve months.
We
plan to use our current cash on hand to support our core business operations and strategic plan to accelerate our go-to-market strategy,
invest in new product development, and enhance our global distribution capabilities. We expect our capital expenditures and working capital
requirements to increase substantially in the future as we grow our business, develop our customer support and marketing infrastructure
and expand our research and development efforts. Specifically, we estimate we will invest approximately $50.9 million by fiscal year
2026 to expand the capacity necessary to achieve the projected volumes.
Our
purchase orders for inventory used in manufacturing generally do not become firm commitments until 30-45 days prior to expected delivery.
We record a liability for excess firm commitments. Refer to Note 11 of the Notes to Combined Financial Statements for further
discussion of excess firm commitments. Our material contractual operating cash commitments on October 31, 2024, relate to leases and
notes payable to a related party. Our long-term lease obligations and future payments are discussed further in Note 8 of the Notes
to Combined Financial Statements. Our notes payable to related party, included interest and maturity terms, are discussed further
in Note 10 of the Notes to Combined Financial Statements.

The
overall increase in cash during the seven-months ended October 31, 2024, was primarily due to the increase in cash flows from financing
activities during the seven-months ended April 1, 2024 through October 31, 2024
Net
Cash Used by Operating Activities
We
had negative cash flow from operating activities during the seven months ended October 31, 2024, and the year ended March 31, 2024. The
negative cash flow from operating activities reflects the growth in electric motorcycle shipments and ongoing product development investments
given the start-up nature of the electric motorcycle business.
Net
cash used in operating activities increased by $578 thousand to $3,294 thousand for the seven-months ended October 31, 2024 compared
to $3,872 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by changes
in working capital. Working capital was impacted by changes in inventory, primarily due to increasing inventory levels on account arrival
of raw materials to be used in the production of vehicles.
Net
Cash Used by Investing Activities
Net
cash used in investing activities decreased by $17 thousand to $85 thousand for the seven-months ended October 31, 2024, compared to
$102 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due less investments made in Property plant and Equipment
during the seven-months ended October 31, 2024 compared to the investments made during the year ended March 31, 2024.
We
expect to fund future cash flows used in investing activities with cash flow generated by operations and other financings.
Net
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities increased by $4,125 thousand to $8,248 thousand for the seven-months ended October 31, 2024 compared
to $4,123 thousand for the year ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was driven by an additional
paid-in capital.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make
significant estimates and assumptions. Management believes that the following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application
of accounting policies that currently affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Product
Warranty and Recalls—We provide a limited warranty on the new electric motorcycles for a period of one year, except for the
battery which is covered for five years. Estimated warranty costs are recorded at the time of sale and are based primarily on our historical
claim information and as actual experience becomes available it is used to update the accruals.
Additionally,
we may from time to time initiate certain voluntary recall campaigns. The estimated costs associated with voluntary recalls are recorded
when the liability is both probable and estimable. This generally occurs when management approves and commits to a recall. The accrued
cost of a recall is based on an estimate of the cost to repair each affected vehicle and the number of vehicles expected to be repaired
based on historical data concerning the percentage of affected customers that take advantage of recall offers. In the case of both warranty
and recall costs, as actual experience becomes available it is used to update the accruals.
The
factors affecting actual warranty and recall costs can be volatile. As a result, actual warranty claims experience and recall costs may
differ from estimates, which could lead to material changes in our accrued warranty and recall costs. Our warranty and recall liabilities
are discussed further in Note 10 of the Notes to Annual Combined Financial Statements. To date, we have not issued any
recalls.
Income
Taxes—Our income taxes as presented are calculated on a separate tax return basis. We account for income taxes in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes (Topic 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss and other loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
We review our deferred income tax asset valuation allowances on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of
the legal entity or combined group recording the net deferred income tax asset is considered, along with any positive or negative evidence
including tax law changes. Since future financial results and tax law may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to our
valuation allowances may be necessary. We have generated operating losses in each of the years presented, however, any hypothetical net
operating loss attributes generated, and related valuation allowances, are deemed to have been distributed to SVH through net parent
investment and are not presented on the balance sheet.
We
are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. These tax laws and regulations are complex and significant
judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related deferred tax assets and liabilities.
In
the ordinary course of our business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accruals
for unrecognized tax benefits are provided for in accordance with the requirements of Topic 740. An unrecognized tax benefit represents
the difference between the recognition of benefits related to items for income tax reporting purposes and financial reporting purposes.
Any unrecognized tax benefit is not included within the combined balance sheets as any benefit would reside with SVM. SVM is regularly
audited by tax authorities as a normal course of business. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, SVM believes that
it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns and that its annual tax provision includes amounts sufficient to
pay any assessments. Nonetheless, the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities
may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year and would be the obligation of SVM. Refer to Note 5 of the Notes
to Annual Combined Financial Statements for further discussion regarding our income taxes.
Business
Combination.
SVH
was the acquiror for both the legal and accounting purposes, as the shares of MOBV converted into the right to receive SVH Shares (the
“Per Share Consideration”) and MOBV legally became SVH’s wholly owned subsidiary as a result of the merger with Merger
Sub.
The
Business Combination was accounted for as an asset acquisition. MOBV did not qualify as a Business per ASC 805-10-55-3A. Since the acquisition
was based on a monetary exchange, and most of the assets of MOBV were marketable securities in the trust account, the fair value of the
assets was the more evident value. The liabilities assumed were all of short-term nature which are deemed to be at fair value. As such
the fair value of the consideration given, in this case the transaction costs incurred, one to one share exchange and the Earn Out consideration
were allocated using the relative fair value approach based on the net asset value acquired from MOBV. Given the nature of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed from MOBV, an allocation of the transaction costs and Earn Out consideration cannot be made to the net
assets acquired. Accordingly, an immediate charge to operations was recognized for the difference between the relative value allocated
to the earnout and the fair value, as well as for the value of the transaction costs.
In
relation to the Business Combination, the purchase price contained contingent consideration. The contingent consideration relates to
an aggregate earn-out payment with maximum payout of $250 million based on the achievement of sales volume during the three-year performance
periods FY2024, FY2025 and FY2026. Each annual period has its own targets and related potential earn-out payments. The fair value of
the contingent consideration is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation that utilizes key assumptions defined in the earnout agreement
including sales volume performance periods, caps and floors. Changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration liability can
result from changes to one or more inputs, including discount rates, the probabilities of achieving the sales volume targets, and the
time required to achieve the sales volume targets. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these inputs,
which reflect the Company’s assumptions on the best market information available under the circumstances. In any given period,
changes to the inputs, or significant increases or decreases to the inputs in isolation, would have resulted in a significantly lower
or higher fair value ascribed to the contingent consideration and have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Goodwill
and Intangible Assets—Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets purchased. Goodwill
is tested for impairment, based on financial data related to the reporting unit to which it has been assigned, at least annually or whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit
exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount
exceeds the fair value, limited to the total goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, SVM first
performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the reporting unit is impaired. If SVM determines
that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, SVM calculates the estimated
fair value of the reporting unit using income and market approaches. Significant assumptions are incorporated into the income approach,
such as estimated growth rates and a risk-adjusted discount rate. Fair value under the market approach utilizes the guideline public
company methodology, which uses valuation indicators determined from other businesses that are similar to our reporting unit.
Intangible
assets consist of trademarks, non-compete agreements and others and are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. The intangible
assets have been determined to have finite lives and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
Significant
judgments are required in assessing impairment of intangible assets and include identifying whether events or changes in circumstances
require an impairment assessment, estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount and growth rates and other assumptions.
Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value whether an impairment exists and if
so the amount of that impairment.
The
intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
The events and circumstances SVM monitors and considers include significant decreases in the market price for similar assets, significant
adverse changes to the extent and manner in which the asset is used, an adverse change in legal factors or business climate, an accumulation
of costs that exceed the estimated cost to acquire or develop a similar asset, and continuing losses that exceed forecasted costs. When
the carrying value of an intangible asset is not recoverable based on the existence of one or more of the above indicators, recoverability
is determined by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to net future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate.
An impairment charge would then be recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
Section
102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being
required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or
revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition
period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the
extended transition period is irrevocable.
MOBV
is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act and has elected to take advantage of the
benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. SVH expects to remain an emerging growth
company at least through the end of the 2024 fiscal year and SVH expects to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended
transition period, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards.
This may make it difficult or impossible to compare SVH’s financial results with the financial results of another public company
that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended
transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of
this standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount
that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
ASC
606 prescribes a 5-step process to achieve its core principle. The Company recognizes revenue from trading, rental, or product sales
as follows:
|
I.
|
Identify
the contract with the customer. |
|
II.
|
Identify
the contractual performance obligations. |
|
III.
|
Determine
the amount of consideration/price for the transaction. |
|
IV.
|
Allocate
the determined amount of consideration/price to the contractual obligations. |
|
V.
|
Recognize
revenue when or as the performing party satisfies performance obligations. |
The
consideration/price for the transaction (performance obligation(s)) is determined as per the agreement or invoice (contract) for the
services and products in the automobile segment.
Revenue
is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, discounts,
sales incentives, goods & service tax. The Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue and its related cost can be reliably
measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and degree of managerial involvement associated with
ownership or effective control have been met for each of the Company’s activities. Revenue includes revenue related to domestic
sales of vehicles, spare parts, and accessories that meet the definition of a performance obligation under ASC 606.
Sales
disaggregated by significant products and services for years ended is as follows:
| |
seven months ended October 31, 2024 | | |
Year ended March 31, 2024 | |
Vehicle Manufacturing | |

New
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Other
than the recent accounting pronouncements disclosed in SVH’s Annual Combined Financial Statements, there have been no new
accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the seven months ended October 31, 2024, that are significant
or potentially significant to SVH.
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As
of October 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to US$5.04 million . We historically managed liquidity risk by effectively
managing our working capital, capital expenditures and cash flows, and deploying resources to match production needs.
Financial
instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk principally consist of accounts receivable. We limit our credit
risk with respect to accounts receivable by performing credit evaluations and requiring collateral to secure amounts owed by our customers,
each when deemed necessary.
We
have experienced cost increases for logistics, raw materials, and purchased components as well as increased manufacturing costs. Our
location in India, however, mitigates some of the higher costs as labor, land and other input prices remain lower in India and the effects
of inflation not been material to date. We expect the supply chain challenges and higher costs will continue in 2025 and may become more
significant as production volumes increase. We expect that certain components, logistics and manufacturing costs will stabilize in 2026,
but that certain raw materials cost inflation, especially in batteries, will persist in the near term. Furthermore, we buy certain of
our components in U.S. dollars while we sell our products and services domestically in Indian rupee. Any fluctuations in the exchange
rates of the U.S. dollar to the Indian rupee may have adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operation.
We
are also exposed to possible disruption of supply or shortage of materials, in particular for lithium-ion battery cells and key semiconductor
chip components necessary for electric vehicles and any inability to purchase raw materials and components could negatively impact our
operations.
We
plan to sell our electric motorcycles and related products initially in India and in the future, internationally. In most international
markets, sales are made in the foreign country’s local currency. As a result, our operating results will be affected by fluctuations
in the values of the Indian rupee relative to foreign currencies, however, the impact of such fluctuations on our operations to date
are not material given the majority of our sales are currently in India. We plan to expand its business and operations internationally
and expects its exposure to currency rate risk to increase in the future.
