Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of HF Foods Group Inc.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the 2020 and 2019 financial statements have been restated to correct errors.

We also have audited the adjustments described in Note 1 that were applied to restate the 2020 and 2019 consolidated financial statements to correct errors.

In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied.

We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2020 and 2019 consolidated financial statements of the Company other than with respect to the adjustments and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on the 2020 and 2019 consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.

federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Organization and General

HF Foods Group Inc.

and subsidiaries (collectively “HF Group”, or the “Company”) markets and distributes fresh produce, frozen and dry food, and non-food products to primarily Asian restaurants and other foodservice customers throughout the Southeast, Pacific and Mountain West regions of the United States.

The Company was originally incorporated in Delaware on May 19, 2016 as a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") under the name Atlantic Acquisition Corp.

(“Atlantic”), in order to acquire, through merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

Reorganization of HF Holding

HF Group Holding Corporation (“HF Holding”) was incorporated in the State of North Carolina on October 11, 2017.

Effective January 1, 2018, HF Holding entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby the controlling shareholders of the following eleven entities contributed their respective stocks to HF Holding in exchange for all of HF Holding’s outstanding shares.

Upon completion of the share exchanges, these entities became either wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries of HF Holding.

• Han Feng, Inc.

• Truse Trucking, Inc.

• Morning First Delivery, Inc.

• R&N Holdings, LLC (“R&N Holdings”)

• R&N Lexington, LLC (“R&N Lexington”)

• Kirnsway Manufacturing, Inc.

• Chinesetg, Inc.

(“Chinesetg”)

• New Southern Food Distributors, Inc.

• B&B Trucking Services, Inc.

• Kirnland Food Distribution, Inc.

• HG Realty, LLC (“HG Realty”)

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25, the transaction consummated through the Agreement has been accounted for as a transaction among entities under common control since the same shareholders controlled all these eleven entities prior to the execution of the Agreement.

Furthermore, ASC 805-50-45-5 indicates that the financial statements and financial information presented for prior years also shall be retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information.

In accordance with ASC 805-50-30-5, when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests should initially recognize the assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of the transfer.

If the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities transferred differ from the historical cost of the parent of the entities under common control, then the financial statements of the receiving entity should reflect the transferred assets and liabilities at the historical cost of the parent of the entities under common control.

Accordingly, the Company has recorded the assets and liabilities transferred from the above entities at their carrying amount.

Table of Conte n t s

The following table summarizes the entities under HF Foods Group Inc.

Effective August 22, 2018, Atlantic consummated the transactions contemplated by a merger agreement (the “Atlantic Merger Agreement”), dated as of March 28, 2018, by and among Atlantic, HF Group Merger Sub, Inc.

("HF Merger Sub"), a Delaware subsidiary formed by Atlantic, HF Holding, the stockholders of HF Holding, and Company's former director and Co-CEO, Zhou Min Ni, as representative of the stockholders of HF Holding.

Pursuant to the Atlantic Merger Agreement, HF Holding merged with HF Merger Sub and HF Holding became the surviving entity (the “Atlantic Merger”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlantic (the “Atlantic Acquisition”).

Additionally, upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Atlantic Merger Agreement, the stockholders of HF Holding became the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock of Atlantic, and Atlantic changed its name to HF Foods Group, Inc.

Corporate History

HF Group Holding Corporation ("HF Holding") was incorporated as a holding company to acquire and consolidate the various pre-merger operating entities.

On January 1, 2018, HF Holding entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with the controlling shareholders in exchange for all of HF Holding’s outstanding shares.

On August 22, 2018, Atlantic Acquisition Corp.

("Atlantic") consummated a reverse acquisition transaction resulting in HF Holding becoming the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantic (the “Atlantic Acquisition”).

The shareholders of HF Holding became the majority shareholders of Atlantic, and the Company changed its name to HF Foods Group Inc.

(collectively, these transactions are referred to as the “Atlantic Transactions”).

At closing on August 22, 2018, Atlantic issued the HF Holding stockholders an aggregate of 19,969,831 shares of its common stock, equal to approximately 88.5 % of the aggregate issued and outstanding shares of Atlantic’s common stock.

The pre-Atlantic Transactions' stockholders owned the remaining 11.5 % of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the combined entity.

Following the consummation of the Atlantic Transactions on August 22, 2018, there were 22,167,486 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, consisting of (i) 19,969,831 shares issued to HF Holding’s stockholders pursuant to the Atlantic Merger Agreement, (ii) 400,000 shares redeemed by one of Atlantic’s shareholders in conjunction with the Atlantic Transactions, (iii)

Table of Conte n t s

10,000 restricted shares issued to one of Atlantic’s shareholders in conjunction with the Atlantic Transactions, and (iv) 2,587,655 shares originally issued to the pre-Atlantic Transactions stockholders of Atlantic.

The Atlantic Transactions was treated as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.

For accounting purposes, HF Holding was considered to be acquiring Atlantic in this transaction.

Therefore, the aggregate consideration paid in connection with the business combination was allocated to Atlantic’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair market values.

The assets and liabilities and results of operations of Atlantic were consolidated into the results of operations of HF Holding as of the completion of the Atlantic Transactions.

HF Holding Entities Organized Post-Atlantic Transactions

On July 10, 2019, the Company, through its subsidiary Han Feng, formed a new real estate holding company, R&N Charlotte.

R&N Charlotte owns a 4.66 acre tract of land with appurtenant 115,570 square foot of office, warehouse, and industrial facility located in Charlotte, North Carolina.

On December 10, 2019, the Company, through its subsidiary Han Feng, formed a new food processing company, HF Foods Industrial, as owner of 60 % of membership interest.

On October 1, 2020, the Company, through its subsidiary HF Group Holding, formed a wholly-owned new real estate lease holding company, 273 Co.

Business Combination with B&R Global

Effective November 4, 2019, HF Group consummated the transactions contemplated by a merger agreement (the “B&R Merger Agreement”), dated as of June 21, 2019, by and among the Company, B&R Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), B&R Global Holdings, Inc.

("B&R Global"), the stockholders of B&R Global (the ”B&R Global Stockholders”), and Xiao Mou Zhang, as representative of the stockholders (the “Business Combination”).

Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the B&R Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), Merger Sub merged with and into B&R Global, resulting in B&R Global becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of HF Group.

HF Group acquired 100 % of the controlling interest of B&R Global, in exchange for 30,700,000 shares of HF Group Common Stock.

Pursuant to the B&R Merger Agreement, the aggregate fair value of the consideration paid by HF Group in the Business Combination was $ 576,699,494 , based on the closing share price of the Company’s common stock at the date of Closing.

Formed in 2014 as a holding company to acquire and consolidate the various operating entities (listed below) under one roof, B&R Global, through its subsidiaries, supplies foodservice items to approximately 5,000 restaurants across 11 Western states, and combined with HF Group, creates what the Company believes is the largest food distributor to Asian restaurants in the United States.

The combined entity now has 13 distribution centers strategically located in 8 states across the Southeast, Pacific and Mountain West regions of the United States and operates a fleet of over 300 refrigerated vehicles.

With over 780 employees and subcontractors supported by two call centers in China, HF Group now serves around 10,000 restaurants in 22 states and provides round-the-clock sales and service support to its customers, who mainly converse in Mandarin or Chinese dialects.

See Note 7 - Acquisitions for additional information on recent acquisitions.

Independent Investigation Update

In March 2020, an analyst report suggested certain improprieties in the Company’s operations.

These allegations became the subject of two putative stockholder class action lawsuits which have subsequently been dismissed.

In response to the allegations in the analyst report, the Company's Board of Directors appointed a Special Investigation Committee of Independent Directors (the “Special Investigation Committee”) to conduct an independent investigation with the assistance of independent legal counsel.

As a result of the investigation, the SIC determined certain factual findings.

Management evaluated the factual findings, as presented by the SIC, and analyzed them to determine which had impact on the historical financial statements, including disclosures, of the Company.

In addition to the independent investigation, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) initiated a formal, non-public investigation of the Company, and the SEC informally requested, and later issued a subpoena for, documents and other information.

The subpoena relates to but is not necessarily limited to the matters identified in the Class Actions.

The Special Investigation Committee and the Company are cooperating with the SEC.

The SEC Investigation is still ongoing.

As with any SEC investigation, there is also the possibility of potential fines and penalties.

At this time, however, there has not been any demand made by the SEC nor is it possible to estimate the amount of any such fines and penalties, should they occur.

See Note 18 - Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

During 2022, the Company identified certain errors impacting the financial statements, including disclosures, for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and each interim quarterly period for 2021, 2020, and 2019 related to the identification of and accounting for operating and finance leases, the incorrect identification and disclosure of certain related party relationships including the identification of VIEs, the timing of revenue recognition for rental income received from a related party, the accounting for the self-insurance liability for automobile insurance beginning in 2020, classification errors in the financial statements, and an error in the calculation of earnings per share for 2020 and 2019.

In addition, certain errors were identified based on the factual findings of the Special Investigation Committee such as unrecorded executive compensation to a certain executive and immediate family members, and related party disclosures.

The Company analyzed the errors using Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No.

99, “Materiality” and SAB No.

108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” and determined the errors were material.

Accordingly, the Company has restated herein the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related interim financial statements periods within the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections .

Any adjustments prior to 2019 are not quantitatively material, are consistent with the adjustments discussed within this Note and have been presented as an adjustment as of December 31, 2018 in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.

The nature of these error corrections is as follows:

Certain operating and finance leases were not properly identified and accounted for upon the adoption of ASC Topic 842 (“ASC 842”), Leases on January 1, 2019 and during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and adjustments have been made to correct these errors.

The errors primarily resulted in an understatement of property and equipment, right-of-use assets, and the current and long-term liabilities associated with operating and finance leases.

In addition, the errors resulted in an understatement in cash flows from operations and an overstatement in cash flows from financing activities within the respective consolidated statements of cash flows.

Four entities previously disclosed as related parties were determined not to be related parties.

The four related party entities that were reclassified in the financial statements from related party to third party for 2020 and 2019 were EMC Rowland, LLC;

The Big Catch Alhambra, LLC;

Winfar Foods, Inc;

and Wokcano Carlsbad Partner LLP.

The Company identified an error related to the timing of revenue recognition for rental income received from UGO (a related party) during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, and 2020.

Rental income received from UGO, which was previously recognized in error, in full in 2020, was recognized in the appropriate accounting period as part of the error corrections.

Please refer to Note 15 - Related Party Transactions for additional information on the lease arrangement with UGO.

As a result of the findings from the independent investigation, the Company determined that certain payments made by the Company in prior years to related parties should now be accounted for in the Company's consolidated financial statements as executive compensation.

The Company made payments for inventory to Revolution Industry, which were diverted to Revolution Automotive to make car lease payments for the benefit of Mr.

Ni and his family.

Amounts paid by Revolution Automotive for car lease payments for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 were $ 1.7 million, $ 1.0 million, and $ 0.5 million, respectively.

The Company reclassified these amounts from cost of

revenue – third parties to distribution, selling, and administrative expense.

The Company also made payments to UGO for marketing services, which services were determined as part of the independent investigation to have not been received commensurate to the amounts paid.

Those payments amounted to $ 0.5 million, $ 0.4 million, $ 0.5 million and $ 0.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

The Company did not reclassify these payments in the historical consolidated financial statements because both marketing services and executive compensation are recorded within the distribution, selling, and administrative expense financial statement line.

Please refer to Note 15 - Related Party Transactions for further details on Revolution Automotive, Revolution Industry and UGO.

The Company has recorded an uncertain tax position liability associated with the reclassification of certain amounts as executive compensation as discussed further in j.

The Company had not previously recorded a liability (including incurred but not reported "IBNR") related to the self-insured portion of its automobile insurance policy, which started in April 2020.

The error resulted in an understatement of accrued expenses and other liabilities at December 31, 2020 and impacted quarterly periods, and has been corrected.

The Company determined certain staffing agencies were VIEs and should have been consolidated into the previously-filed financial statements.

As further disclosed in Note 3 - Variable Interest Entities, the result of the errors to the historical financial statements was primarily related to disclosure errors and did not result in significant changes to the consolidated balance sheets, or consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and shareholders’ equity.

There were certain misclassifications between accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets specific to the staffing agency VIEs.

See further discussion in Note 3 - Variable Interest Entities .

The 2020 goodwill impairment loss, which was previously misclassified as other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), was revised to be included in income (loss) from operations.

The gain/loss on sale of fixed assets, which was previously misclassified in other income (expense), net was revised to be included in distribution, selling and administrative expenses.

The earnings per share for 2019 was previously incorrectly computed at $ 0.22 per share in prior Form 10-K filings instead of at $ 0.20 per share based on the originally reported net income attributable to HF Foods Group, Inc.

As part of the error corrections being made, the resultant earnings per share for 2019 is $ 0.18 per share.

The loss per share for 2020 was previously incorrectly computed at $ 6.58 per share in prior Form 10-K filings and was corrected to $ 6.59 per share.

As a result of the executive compensation described in d.

above, the Company recorded an uncertain tax position liability to account for potential implications to previously filed tax returns.

The correction resulted in an increase of $ 0.8 million, $ 0.6 million, and $ 0.4 million in accrued expenses and other liabilities as of December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, compared to previously reported amounts.

The quarterly impacts of the uncertain tax position have also been corrected.

In the Company’s December 31, 2020 financial statements, the Company did not disclose NC Good Taste Noodle, Inc.

as a related party since Mr.

Zhou Min Ni reported that he sold his ownership effective January 1, 2020.

However, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, Mr.

Jian Ming Ni, continues to own a portion of NC Good Taste Noodle, Inc.

and as a result, the Company has concluded that NC Good Taste Noodle, Inc.

still meets the definition of a related party.

The Company has corrected the classification of balances associated with NC Good Taste Noodle, Inc.

in the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of cash flows and notes to consolidated financial statements in the affected annual and quarterly periods.

See Note 15 – Related Party Transactions for additional information.

Certain capital contributions from a noncontrolling shareholder were incorrectly recorded as other payables were reclassified to noncontrolling interest.

The corresponding footnotes have been restated for the adjustments noted above.

The following tables summarize the effect of the restatements on each affected financial statement line item as of the dates as indicated, impacting the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of HF Group, its subsidiaries and the VIE.

The VIE has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if common control had been established as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of HF Group, its subsidiaries and FUSO Trucking LLC ("FUSO") and the Staffing Agencies, which the Company has determined to be VIEs that requires consolidation.

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

GAAP provides guidance on the identification of VIE and financial reporting for entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting interests.

Variable Interest Entities

GAAP provides guidance on the identification of VIEs and financial reporting for entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting interests.

The Company evaluates each of its interests in an entity to determine whether or not the investee is a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of such VIE.

1 unchanged sentence

If deemed the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the VIE.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, FUSO is considered to be a VIE.

FUSO was established solely to provide exclusive services to the Company.

The entity lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from the Company, and the Company has the power to direct the VIEs’ activities.

In addition, the Company receives the economic benefits from the entity and has concluded that the Company is a primary beneficiary.

The carrying amounts of the assets, liabilities, the results of operations and cash flows of the VIE is included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of income (loss) and statements of cash flows are as follows:

Uses of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during each reporting period.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during each reporting period.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of property and equipment, lease assumptions, impairment of long-lived assets, long-term investments, goodwill, the purchase price allocation and fair value of noncontrolling interests with respect to business combinations, realization of deferred tax assets, and uncertain income tax positions.

3 unchanged sentences

In addition, allowances are recorded for all other receivables based on historic collection trends, write-offs and the aging of receivables.

The Company uses specific criteria to determine uncollectible receivables to be written off, including, e.g., bankruptcy filings, the referral of customer accounts to outside parties for collection, and the length that accounts remain past due.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, allowances for doubtful accounts were $ 909,182 and $ 623,970 , respectively.

The Company’s inventories, consisting mainly of food and other food service-related products, are primarily considered as finished goods.

Inventory costs, including the purchase price of the product and freight charges to deliver it to the Company’s warehouses, are net of certain cash or non-cash consideration received from vendors.

The Company assesses the need for valuation allowances for slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories by estimating the net recoverable value of such goods based upon inventory category, inventory age, specifically identified items, and overall economic conditions.

Following are the estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment:

Estimated useful lives (years)

Automobiles 3 — 7

Buildings and improvements 7 — 39

Furniture and fixtures 4 — 10

Machinery and equipment 3 — 10

Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets.

Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of income in other income or expenses.

Estimated useful lives

Automobiles 3 to 7 years

Buildings and improvements 7 to 39 years

Furniture and fixtures 4 to 10 years

Machinery and equipment 3 to 10 years

Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 (“ASC 805”), Business Combinations .

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805 (“ASC 805”), Business Combinations .

The purchase method of accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets and liabilities the Company acquired, based on their estimated fair values.

The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date.

Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests.

The excess of (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over, (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill.

1 unchanged sentence

The Company estimates the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.

While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, its

Table of Conte n t s

estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement.

While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, its estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement.

Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to future expected revenues and cash flows, useful lives, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies.

Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates it has made in the past have been reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain.

During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

On the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred, and are included in distribution, selling and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

The results of operations of the businesses that the Company acquired are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.

The Company reviews the carrying values of goodwill and identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable and annually for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as required by ASC Topic 350 (“ASC 350”), Intangibles — Goodwill and Other .

The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, as of December 31, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.

The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable and annually for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as required by ASC Topic 350 (“ASC 350”), Intangibles — Goodwill and Other .

This guidance provides the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value.

1 unchanged sentence

If the quantitative analysis indicates the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company measures any goodwill impairment losses as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

The Company opted the early adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-4, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment .

The standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation.

Under the new standard, an impairment loss will be recognized in the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has one reporting unit.

See Note 8 - Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets for additional information.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

The Company determines the appropriate useful life of its intangible assets by measuring the expected cash flows of acquired assets.

The estimated useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:

Estimated useful lives (years)

Tradenames 10

Customer relationships 20

Estimated Useful Lives

Non-competition agreement 3 years

Tradenames 10 years

Customer relationships 10 to 20 years

Long term Investments

The Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities consist of equity investments and investment without readily determinable fair value.

The Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities consist of an equity investment and an investment without readily determinable fair value.

The Company follows ASC Topic 321 (“ASC 321”), Investments – Equity Securities , using the measurement alternative to measure investments in investees that do not have readily determinable fair value and over which the Company does not have significant influence at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, if any.

The Company makes a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired at each reporting date.

If a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, the Company has to estimate the investment’s fair value in accordance with the principles of ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair

Table of Conte n t s

Value Measurements and Disclosures.

If the fair value is less than the investment’s carrying value, the entity has to recognize an impairment loss in net income equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value.

If the fair value is less than the investment’s carrying value, the entity has to recognize an impairment loss in earnings equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value.

Investments in entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 323 (“ASC 323”), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures .

Under the equity method, the Company initially records its investment at cost and the difference between the cost and the fair value of the underlying equity in the net assets of the equity investee is recognized as equity method goodwill, which is included in the equity method investment on the consolidated balance sheets.

The equity method goodwill is not subsequently amortized and is not tested for impairment under ASC 350.

Under the equity method, the Company initially records its investment at cost, which is included in the equity method investment on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company subsequently adjusts the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the Company’s proportionate share of each equity investee’s net income or loss into earnings after the date of investment.

1 unchanged sentence

An impairment loss on the equity method investments is recognized in earnings when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary.

The Company did no t record any impairment loss on its long term investments as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets other than goodwill

The Company assesses its long-lived assets such as property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

The Company did no t record any impairment loss on its long term investments during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company assesses its long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Factors which may indicate potential impairment include a significant underperformance related to the historical or projected future operating results or a significant negative industry or economic trend.

Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate.

If property and equipment, and intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value.

The Company did no t record any impairment loss on its long-lived assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

If property and equipment, and intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets or asset group exceeds their fair value.

The Company did no t record any impairment loss on its long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Insurance and Claim Costs

The Company maintains workers compensation and general liability insurance with licensed insurance carriers.

Beginning in April 2020, the Company is self-insured for auto claims less than $100,000 per claim.

Insurance and claims expense represent premiums the Company paid and the accruals made for claims within the Company’s self-insured retention amounts.

A liability is recognized for the estimated cost of all self-insured claims including an estimate of incurred but not reported claims based on historical experience and for claims expected to exceed the Company's policy limits.

The Company establishes reserves for anticipated losses and expenses related to auto liability claims.

The reserves consist of specific reserves for all known claims and an estimate for claims incurred but not reported, and losses arising from known claims ultimately settling in excess of insurance coverage using loss development factors based upon industry data and past experience.

In determining the liability, the Company specifically reviews all known claims and records a liability based upon the Company’s best estimate of the amount to be paid.

In making the estimate, the Company considers the amount and validity of the claim, as well as the Company’s past experience with similar claims.

In establishing the reserve for claims incurred but not reported, the Company considers its past claims history, including the length of time it takes for claims to be reported to the Company.

These reserves are periodically reviewed and adjusted to reflect the Company’s experience and updated information relating to specific claims.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has recorded a self-insurance liability of $ 1.0 million and $ 0.4 million, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the goods, which occurs at delivery.

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products when control of each product passes to the customer and the customer accepts the goods, which occurs at delivery.

Sales taxes invoiced to customers and remitted to government authorities are excluded from net sales.

The Company follows ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) .

The Company follows ASC Topic 606 ("ASC 606") , Revenue from Contracts with Customers .

The Company recognizes revenue that represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange.

This requires the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfer to a customer.

The majority of the Company’s contracts have one single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual goods is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and is, therefore, not distinct.

The Company’s contracts contain performance obligations which are satisfied when customers have physical possession of each product.

The Company’s revenue streams are recognized at a specific point in time.

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods was insignificant.

Revenue expected to be recognized in any future periods related to remaining performance obligations is insignificant.

The following table summarizes disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by geographic locations:

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC Topic 260 (“ASC 260”), Earnings per Share .

ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS.

Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later.

Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

There is no anti-dilutive effect for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Variable rent payments related to both operating and finance leases are expensed as incurred.

The Company's variable lease payments primarily consist of real estate, maintenance and usage charges.

The Company has also elected to combine lease and non-lease components when measuring lease liabilities for vehicle and equipment leases.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures .

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 820 ("ASC 820"), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures .

ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

4 unchanged sentences

There were no transfers between fair value levels in any of the periods presented herein.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, other current assets, accounts payable, bank overdraft, income tax payable, current portion of long-term debt, current portion of obligations under finance and operating leases, and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Derivative Financial Instrument

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, other current assets, accounts payable, checks issued not presented for payment and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The carrying value of the variable rate debt approximates its fair value because of the variability of interest rates associated with these instruments and the consistency in market conditions since the loans were entered into.

For the Company's fixed rate debt, the fair values were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

As of December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the fixed rate debt was $ 15.0 million and the fair value was $ 12.2 million.

The variable and fixed rate debt are both classified as Level 2.

Of the $ 15.0 million of fixed rate debt, $ 4.5 million is related to the Company’s promissory note payable to related party, $ 2.5 million is attributable to real estate term loans with East West Bank, $ 2.7 million is attributable to vehicle and equipment term loans with Bank of America, $ 4.5 million is attributable to loans with First Horizon Bank, and $ 0.8 million is attributable to vehicle loans with other financial institutions.

Please refer to Note 11 - Long-Term Debt and Note 15 - Related Party Transactions for additional information regarding the Company's debt.

Please refer to Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information regarding the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments which are classified as Level 2.

Derivative Financial Instruments

In accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 815 ("ASC 815"), Derivatives and Hedging, d erivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.

The Company has not designated its interest rate swap ("IRS") contracts as hedges for accounting treatment.

Pursuant to U.S.

GAAP, income or loss from fair value changes for derivatives that are not designated as hedges by management are reflected as income or loss on the statement of operations.

Pursuant to GAAP, income or loss from fair value changes for derivatives that are not designated as hedges by management are reflected as income or loss on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Segment Reporting

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Company’s business segments.

The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments.

The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s operating decision makers for making operational decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments.

In 2021, former co-CEO Zhou Min Ni resigned, and Xiao Mou Zhang assumed the role of sole CEO and sole Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM").

The Company reassessed how the CODM makes operational decisions and assesses performance and concluded it has one operating and reporting segment.

Management, including the CODM, reviews operating results and makes resource allocations on a consolidated basis and thus the Company has concluded it has one operating and reportable segment.

Previously the Company had two reportable segments.

Management has revised its segment disclosure for earlier periods accordingly.

In addition, the Company receives the economic benefits from the entity and has concluded that the Company is the primary beneficiary.

The carrying amounts of the assets, liabilities, the results of operations and cash flows of the VIE included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and statements of cash flows are immaterial.

Staffing Agencies

Revolution Industry, Revolution Automotive and UGO

Revolution Industry was established to produce egg roll mix for the Company and to create and provide funding to Revolution Automotive.

Revolution Automotive was set up to acquire luxury vehicles for the benefit of the former Co-CEO (Mr.

Ni) and his son.

UGO was originally designed to be an online marketplace for various Asian goods.

Revolution Industry, Revolution Automotive and UGO were thinly capitalized and were not able to finance their activities without additional subordinated support.

The former Co-CEO's (Mr.

Ni) son, as sole equity holder of Revolution Industry and Revolution Automotive, had unilateral control over the ongoing activities of Revolution Industry and Revolution Automotive and significantly benefited from their operations.

Therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary for Revolution Industry and Revolution Automotive.

The former Co-CEO (Mr.

Ni) and certain family members, as equity holders of UGO, had unilateral control over the ongoing activities of UGO and significantly benefited from its operations.

Therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary for UGO.

Revolution Industry and UGO are also related parties and were generally the Company’s suppliers or customers and the Company did not have other involvement with these entities.

Therefore, the Company’s exposure to loss due to its involvement with these entities was limited to amounts due from these entities, which is included in Accounts receivable – related parties.

The Company did not have any guarantees, commitments, or other forms of financing with these entities.

The Company determined BRGR to be a VIE.

BRGR was established to hold real estate for rent primarily for the Company and BRGR was financed primarily through this rental income and proceeds from the real estate loan for which the Company was guarantor.

The Company was not the primary beneficiary of BRGR as the Company did not have the power to direct or control the activities which most significantly influenced the performance of BRGR.

On January 17, 2020, the Company acquired 100% equity membership interests of certain real estate subsidiaries of BRGR, as discussed in Note 7 - Acquisitions .

As discussed in Note 12 - Leases, after the sale, the Company continued to provide a guarantee for all rent and related costs associated with two leases of AnHeart in Manhattan, New York.

The Company has determined that AnHeart is a VIE as a result of the guarantee.

However, the Company concluded it was not the primary beneficiary of AnHeart because it does not have the power to direct the activities of AnHeart that most significantly impact AnHeart's economic performance.

Please refer to Note 12 - Leases for additional information regarding the Company's maximum exposure to loss to AnHeart.

The Company recorded approximately $ 406.7 million of goodwill on December 31, 2019, resulting from the completion of the Business Combination with B&R Global, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired.

HF Group acquired 100 % of the controlling interest of B&R Global, in exchange for 30,700,000 consideration shares of HF Group Common Stock, valued at $ 576,699,494 based upon the closing share price of the Company’s common stock at the date of Closing on November 4, 2019.

The Company recorded approximately $ 406.7 million of goodwill in 2019 resulting from the completion of the business combination with B&R Global and approximately $ 11.7 million of goodwill resulting from the completion of the business combination with the Great Wall Group in 2021.

The Company's policy is to test goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if certain triggering events or circumstances indicate it could be impaired.

Potential impairment indicators include (but are not limited to) macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, other relevant entity-specific events, specific events affecting the reporting unit, or sustained decrease in share price.

In addition, the fair value of the goodwill is sensitive to the changes in the assumptions used in the projected cash flows, which include forecasted revenues and perpetual growth rates, among others, all of which require significant judgment by management.

The Company has used recent historical performance, current forecasted financial information, and broad-based industry and economic statistics as a basis to estimate the key assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model.

These key assumptions are inherently uncertain and require a high degree of estimation and judgment and are subject to change based on future conditions, industry and global economic and geo-political factors, and the timing and success of the Company's implementation of current strategic initiatives.

Towards the end of first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company experienced significant decline in business volume due to mandatory stay-at-home orders issued by governmental authorities in response to the intensification of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Based upon the analysis, the Company concluded that the carrying value of its B&R Global reporting unit exceeded its fair value by approximately $ 338.2 million.

As a result, the company recorded the amount as impairment loss during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020.

The Company estimated the fair values of the B&R Global reporting unit using the income approach, discounting projected future cash flows based upon management’s expectations of the current and future operating environment.

The calculation of the impairment charge includes substantial fact-based determinations and estimates including weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"), future revenue, profitability, perpetual growth rates and fair values of assets and liabilities.

The fair value conclusions as of March 31, 2020 for the reporting unit are highly sensitive to changes in the WACC, which consider observable data about guideline publicly traded companies, an estimated market participant’s expectations about capital structure and risk premiums.

The Company corroborated the reasonableness of the estimated reporting unit fair values by reconciling to its enterprise value and market capitalization.

The Company also observed that the WACC applied on March 31, 2020 increased significantly from the original WACC value as of the acquisition date, mainly driven by the increased risk and volatility observed in the market.

Volatility has primarily been due to concerns about demand for food distribution services, as restaurant activity in much of the country has been reduced to takeout and delivery offerings.

On July 2, 2018, AnHeart Inc.

("AnHeart"), a former wholly-owned subsidiary of HF Holding, entered into two separate leases for two properties located in Manhattan, New York, at 273 Fifth Avenue and 275 Fifth Avenue, for 30 years and 15 years, respectively.

The leases were on a triple net basis, meaning AnHeart is required to pay all costs associated with the properties, including taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and repairs.

HF Holding provided a corporate guaranty for all rent and related costs of the leases, including costs associated with the planned construction of a two-story structure at 273 Fifth Avenue and rehabilitation of the building at 275 Fifth Avenue.

The Company entered into the leases back then with the planned purpose of expanding its product lines to include Chinese herb supplements, and to use the sites to develop into a hub for such products.

The Company has since determined to cease this business expansion in early 2019.

On February 23, 2019, HF Holding executed an agreement to divest all of its ownership interest in AnHeart to Ms.

Jianping An, a resident of New York, for the sum of $ 20,000 .

The transfer of ownership was completed on May 2, 2019.

However, the divestment does not release HF Holding’s guaranty of AnHeart’s obligations or liabilities under the original lease agreements.

Under the terms of the sale of AnHeart stock to Ms.

An, and in consideration of the Company’s ongoing guaranty of AnHeart’s performance of the lease obligations, AnHeart granted to the Company a security interest in all AnHeart assets, together with a covenant that the Company will be assigned the leases, to be exercised if AnHeart defaults on the original lease agreements.

An has tendered an unconditional guaranty of all AnHeart liabilities arising from the leases, in favor of the Company, executed by Minsheng Pharmaceutical Group Company, Ltd., a Chinese manufacturer and distributor of herbal medicines.

See Note 19 - Subsequent Events for additional information concerning the AnHeart leases.

In January 2021, the Company's subsidiary, Kirnland signed a new 5-year operating lease agreement with a related party, Yoan to continue to lease the warehouse space that Kirnland has been operating in at 36 - 40 Enterprise Blvd, Atlanta, Georgia

NOTE 15 - TAXES

Corporate Income Taxes (“CIT”)

On December 22, 2017, the U.S.

enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which significantly changed U.S.

The Act lowered the Company’s U.S.

statutory federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, while also imposing a deemed repatriation tax on deferred foreign income.

The Act also created a new minimum tax on certain future foreign earnings.

The Company expects the new federal income tax rate will significantly lower the Company’s income tax expenses going forward.

The Company does not expect the repatriation tax and new minimum tax on certain future foreign earnings to have any impact on the Company’s operations since it currently has no foreign income and does not expect to generate any foreign income in the future.

(i) The provision for income taxes of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 consists of the following:

For the Years Ended

2020 December 31,

On December 14, 2021, the Company signed an office lease in City of Industry, California effective January 1, 2022 consisting of approximately 5,700 square feet and payments totaling $ 0.2 million per year with a term of five years .

On July 2, 2018, AnHeart, a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into two separate leases for two properties located in Manhattan, New York, at 273 Fifth Avenue and 275 Fifth Avenue, for 30 years and 15 years, respectively.

AnHeart is obligated to pay all costs associated with the properties, including taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and repairs.

The Company provided a corporate guaranty for all rent and related costs of the leases, including costs associated with the planned construction of a two-story structure at 273 Fifth Avenue and rehabilitation of the building at 275 Fifth Avenue.

The Company originally entered into the leases with the purpose of expanding its product lines to Chinese herbal supplements, and to utilize the sites to develop into a central location for such products.

The Company subsequently decided to cease this business expansion in early 2019.

On February 23, 2019, the Company executed an agreement to divest all of its ownership interest in AnHeart, however, the divestment did not release the Company’s guaranty of AnHeart’s obligations or liabilities under the original lease agreements.

Under the terms of the sale of AnHeart stock, and in consideration of the Company’s ongoing guaranty of AnHeart’s performance of the lease obligations, AnHeart granted to the Company a security interest in all AnHeart assets, together with a covenant that the Company will be assigned the leases to be exercised if AnHeart defaults on the original lease agreements.

In addition, AnHeart tendered an unconditional guaranty of all AnHeart liabilities arising from the leases, in favor of the Company, executed by Minsheng Pharmaceutical Group Company, Ltd.

(“Minsheng”), a Chinese manufacturer and distributor of herbal medicines.

On February 10, 2021, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Lease Agreement (“Assignment”), dated effective as of January 21, 2021, with AnHeart and Premier 273 Fifth, LLC, pursuant to which it assumed the lease of the premises at 273 Fifth Avenue (the “273 Lease Agreement”).

At the same time, the closing documents were delivered to effectuate the amendment of the 273 Lease Agreement pursuant to an Amendment to Lease (the “Lease Amendment”).

The Assignment and the Lease Amendment were negotiated in light of the Company’s guarantee obligations as guarantor under the Lease Agreement.

The Company agreed to observe all the covenants and conditions of the Lease Agreement, as amended, including the payment of all rents due.

Under the terms of the Lease Agreement and the Assignment, the Company has undertaken to construct, at its own expense, a building on the premises at a minimum cost of $ 2.5 million.

The Lease Amendment permits subletting of the premises, and the Company intends to sublease the newly constructed premises to defray the rental expense undertaken pursuant to its guaranty obligations.

Subsequent to December 31, 2021, on January 17, 2022, the Company received notice that AnHeart had defaulted on its obligations as tenant under the lease for 275 Fifth Avenue.

On February 7, 2022, the Company undertook its guaranty obligations by assuming responsibility for payment of monthly rent and other tenant obligations, including past due rent as well as property tax obligations beginning with the January 2022 rent due.

On February 25, 2022, the Company instituted a legal action to pursue legal remedies against AnHeart and Minsheng.

In accordance with ASC 460, Guarantees , the Company has determined that its maximum exposure resulting from the 275 Fifth Avenue lease guarantee includes approximately $ 8.0 million of future minimum lease payments plus potential additional payments to satisfy maintenance, property tax and insurance requirements under the leases with a remaining term of approximately 12 years .

The Company elected a policy to apply the discounted cash flow method to loss contingencies with more than 18 months of payments.

Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a one-time lease guarantee expense and liability of $ 5.9 million using a discount rate of 4.55 %.

NOTE 13 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC Topic 260 (“ASC 260”), Earnings per Share .

ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS.

Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS, but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, warrants and restricted stock) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later.

Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

There were 21,288 potential common shares related to total shareholder return performance-based restricted stock units that were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2021 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

There were no anti-dilutive potential common shares for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 .

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

2020 As of December 31,

The Company's effective income tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were 16.6 %, 1.4 % and 30.8 %, respectively.

The determination of the Company’s overall effective income tax rate requires the use of estimates.

The effective income tax rate reflects the income earned and taxed in U.S.

federal and various state jurisdictions based on enacted tax law, permanent differences between book and tax items, tax credits and the Company’s change in relative income in each jurisdiction.

Due to the changes in the Company's business activities, the Company has updated certain state filing methodologies and related state apportionment which resulted in a change in the state tax rate used in measuring deferred income taxes as of December 31, 2021.

This change had a favorable impact on the Company's effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Changes in tax laws and rates may affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities and the Company’s effective income tax rate in the future.

The Company has no operations outside the U.S., as such, no foreign income tax was recorded.

NOTE 16 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, known as the HF Foods Group Inc.

2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Incentive Plan”).

The 2018 Incentive Plan allows for up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance of awards to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants.

The 2018 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, other stock awards, and performance awards that may be settled in stock, or other property.

The Company began issuing awards under the 2018 Incentive Plan in February 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had 352,920 time-based vesting restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding, 143,278 performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) outstanding, and 2,503,802 shares remaining available for future awards under the 2018 Incentive Plan.

RSUs granted to employees vest over time based on continued service (vesting over a period between one to three years in equal installments).

PSUs granted to employees vest based on (i) the attainment of certain financial metrics, as defined by the Company's compensation committee (“Financial PSUs”) and (ii) total shareholder return of the Company’s common stock (“TSR PSUs”).

Both types of PSUs vest over three equal installments beginning from April 1, 2022 to April 1, 2024 based on the performance metrics established for each year and also require continued service for vesting.

A summary of RSU and PSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2021 is as follows:

Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Unvested RSUs at December 31, 2020 — $ —

Granted 355,242 5.22

Forfeited 2,322 5.17

Unvested RSUs at December 31, 2021 352,920 $ 5.22

Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value

Unvested PSUs at December 31, 2020 — $ —

Granted 143,278 4.94

Forfeited — —

Unvested PSUs at December 31, 2021 143,278 $ 4.94

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”).

ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares.

The fair value of the RSUs and Financial PSUs are measured using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ Global Capital Market on the date preceding grant date.

The fair value of the TSR PSUs are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the TSR PSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 and valued under the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows:

2021 PSU Grants

Risk-free interest rate 0.32 % - 0.34 %

Expected dividend yield — % - — %

Expected term (years) 2.56 - 2.73

Expected volatility (1)

64.26 % - 65.74 %

(1) Expected volatility is based on a 50/50 blending of (i) the average historical volatility of a select group of industry peers with a look-back period equal to the expected term, and (ii) the historical volatility of the Company with a look-back period of 1.17 years, the time from the valuation date to the date six months after the completion of the merger with B&R Global, using daily stock prices.

The expected volatility of peer companies was 62.42 % – 63.45 %.

The expected volatility of the Company's common stock was 66.10 % – 68.03 %.

The fair value of RSUs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award.

For the PSUs, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis for each vesting tranche over the longer of the derived, explicit, or implicit service period for the vesting tranche.

As of interim and annual reporting periods, the Financial PSUs stock-based compensation expense is adjusted based on expected achievement of performance targets, while TSR PSUs stock-based compensation expense is not adjusted.

The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Stock-based compensation expense is included in distribution, selling and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The components of stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 were as follows:

(In thousands) Year Ended December 31, 2021

Stock-based compensation (RSUs) expense $ 405

Stock-based compensation (PSUs) expense 230

Total stock-based compensation expense $ 635

Tax benefit of stock-based compensation expense $ 132

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 there was no stock-based compensation expense.

As of December 31, 2021, there was $ 1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested outstanding RSUs and PSUs outstanding under 2018 Incentive Plan, with a weighted average remaining service period of 2.2 years.

Of the total unrecognized compensation cost, $ 1.5 million is related to RSUs with time-based vesting provisions and $ 0.3 million is related to PSUs with performance and market-based vesting provisions.

NOTE 17 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan, the HF Foods Group, Inc.

Employees 401(k) Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”).

Under the 401(k) Plan, after six months of service, eligible employees may elect to defer up to 92 % of their compensation before taxes, up to the dollar limit imposed by the Internal Revenue Service for tax purposes.

The Company matches 100 % of the first 3 % of the participant’s deferred compensation plus 50 % of the amount contributed between 3 % and 5 % of the participant’s deferred compensation.

401(k) Plan participants vest in matching contributions received from the Company at the rate of 20 % per year for each full year of service starting from their second year of service, such that the participants become 100 % vested after six years of service.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company expensed $ 240,000 and $ 25,000 , respectively.

There was no 401(k) plan implemented in 2019.

NOTE 18 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business.

When the Company becomes aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure.

In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company records loss contingencies in its financial statements only for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated.

Where a range of loss can be reasonably estimated with no best estimate in the range, the Company records the minimum estimated liability.

If the loss is not probable or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the specific claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible and the amount involved is material.

The Company continuously assesses the potential liability related to the Company’s pending litigation and revises its estimates when additional information becomes available.

Adverse outcomes in some or all of these matters may result in significant monetary damages or injunctive relief against us that could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business.

There also exists the possibility of a material adverse effect on our financial statements for the period in which the effect of an unfavorable outcome becomes probable and reasonably estimable.

As previously disclosed, in March 2020, an analyst report suggested certain improprieties in the Company’s operations.

These allegations became the subject of two putative stockholder class actions filed on or after March 29, 2020 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California generally alleging the Company and certain of its current and former

directors and officers violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making allegedly false and misleading statements (the “Class Actions”).

After the second putative stockholder class action was filed, the Class Actions were consolidated.

On January 19, 2021, the Company and the director and officer defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the consolidated Class Actions.

On August 25, 2021, the Court granted the Motion to Dismiss with leave to amend the complaint.

The Plaintiff elected not to amend his complaint, and the Court entered Judgment in favor of the Company and the director and officer defendants on September 20, 2021.

The Court’s decision was not appealed, and the Class Actions are now closed.

The Company was likewise named a nominal defendant and certain of the Company's current and former directors and officers were named as defendants in a shareholder derivative lawsuit filed on June 15, 2020, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

The complaint made similar allegations as the Class Actions and alleged violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets.

A second virtually identical shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed on August 21, 2020 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

On November 19, 2020, the District Court for the District of Delaware transferred the second-filed derivative lawsuit to the District Court for the Central District of California.

The shareholder derivative lawsuits were stayed pending the deadline to file a notice of appeal in the Class Actions.

On November 5, 2021, the first of the two shareholder derivative lawsuits was dismissed voluntarily without prejudice by the plaintiff.

On November 23, 2021, the second shareholder derivative lawsuit was dismissed by the Court on the basis of the parties’ stipulation of voluntary dismissal without prejudice.

In response to the allegations in the March 2020 analyst report, the Company's Board of Directors appointed the Special Investigation Committee to conduct an internal independent investigation with the assistance of counsel.

On May 20, 2022, the Board of Directors of HF Group received a letter from a purported stockholder, James Bishop (the “Bishop Demand”).

The Bishop Demand alleges that certain current and former officers and directors of HF Group engaged in misconduct and breached their fiduciary duties, and demands that HF Group investigate the allegations and, if warranted, assert claims against those current or former officers and directors.

Many of the allegations contained in the Bishop Demand were the subject of a shareholder derivative action that Bishop filed in August 2020 (the “Bishop Derivative Action”).

On November 24, 2021, after the United States District Court for the Central District of California dismissed with prejudice a related securities class action, captioned Mendoza v.

HF Foods Group Inc.

2:20-cv-02929 (C.D.

Cal.), the Bishop Derivative Action was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice.

On June 30, 2022, the Board of Directors of HF Group resolved to form a special committee (the “Special Litigation Committee”) comprised of independent directors and advised by counsel to analyze and evaluate the allegations in the Bishop Demand in order to determine whether the Company should assert any claims against the current or former officers and directors.

On August 19, 2022, James Bishop filed a verified stockholder derivative complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Action”), which asserts similar allegations to those set forth in the Bishop Demand.

On September 21, 2022, Bishop and the Company filed a stipulation to stay the Delaware Action for 90 days, which the court granted on September 22, 2022.

On December 20, 2022, Bishop and the Company filed a stipulation to extend the stay of the Delaware Action for an additional 60 days, which the court granted on December 21, 2022.

The Special Litigation Committee is in the process of analyzing and evaluating the claims alleged in the Bishop Demand and Delaware Action, and has not determined whether any claims should be asserted or the probability of recovery for such claims.

In addition, the SEC initiated a formal, non-public investigation of the Company, and the SEC informally requested, and later issued a subpoena for, documents and other information.

The subpoena relates to but is not necessarily limited to the matters identified in the Class Actions.

The Special Investigation Committee and the Company are cooperating with the SEC.

While the SEC investigation is ongoing, the Special Investigation Committee has made certain factual findings based on evidence adduced during the investigation and made recommendations to management regarding improvements to Company operations and structure, including but not limited to its dealings with related parties.

As with any SEC investigation, there is also the possibility of potential fines and penalties.

At this time, however, there has not been any demand made by the SEC nor is it possible to estimate the amount of any such fines and penalties, should they occur.

NOTE 20 - QUARTERLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

The tables below present unaudited quarterly financial information and the footnotes correspond to the error descriptions in Note 1 - Organization, Business Description and Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the following:

The Company identified an error related to the timing and amount of stock-based compensation for restricted stock awards issued during 2021, impacting the quarterly periods within 2021.

During the preparation of the September 30, 2021 financial statements, the Company identified errors in its accounting for the January 21, 2021 lease described in Note 12 – Leases as the 273 Lease Agreement.

In its original accounting, the Company concluded that the lease was an operating lease and used an incorrect discount rate to calculate the right-of-use asset and obligations under operating lease liabilities balances.

The Company subsequently changed the discount rate on the lease and reclassified the lease as a finance lease, as the present value of the future cash flows associated with the lease exceeded substantially all of the fair value of the property.

The Company has adjusted the balances associated with the lease from operating lease right-of-use asset to property and equipment, net and from obligations under operating lease liabilities to obligations under finance leases in the quarterly financial statements for March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

The following tables summarize the effect of the restatements on each affected financial statement line item as of the dates as indicated, impacting the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 18 - COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

Various labor and employment lawsuits were filed by former employees against FUSO, NBT, and HRT, alleging these entities failed to provide proper meal and rest breaks, as well as other related violations.

These entities deny all the allegations.

Management believes there is no merit to the cases and will vigorously defend the cases.

Therefore, the Company did not accrue any loss contingency for this matter on its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

FUSO's case was dismissed on January 25, 2021.

No class was certified and no class relief was granted.

The individual plaintiff's claims were resolved under the terms of a confidential settlement agreement providing that no party admitted any liability or wrongdoing and that the individual plaintiff would receive a payment in an amount having no material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the FUSO operating unit and the Company as a whole.

Various labor and employment claims have been filed or asserted against Happy FM Group Inc., alleging that this subsidiary failed to pay all wages owed to one or more employees under the California Labor Code as well as other related violations.

These allegations all have been denied.

These cases are in the earliest stages of litigation and the parties have not commenced discovery.

Management believes there is no merit to the cases and will vigorously defend the cases.

Therefore, the Company did not accrue any loss contingency for this matter on its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.

On March 29, 2020, plaintiff Jesus Mendoza (“Mendoza”) filed a putative shareholder securities class action lawsuit (the "Class Action Lawsuit”) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and certain of its present and former officers (collectively, the “Class Action Defendants”) for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 styled Mendoza v.

HF Foods Group Inc., et al., Civil Action No.

2:20-CV-2929-ODW-JPR (C.D.

On April 30, 2020, plaintiff Walter Ponce-Sanchez (“Ponce-Sanchez”) filed a substantially similar putative shareholder securities class action lawsuit (the “Ponce-Sanchez Lawsuit”) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the same defendants named in the Class Action Lawsuit (collectively, the “Ponce-Sanchez Defendants” and with the Class Action Defendants, the “Defendants”) styled Ponce-Sanchez v.

HF Foods Group Inc., et al.

, Civil Action No.

2:20-CV-3967-ODW-JPR (C.D.

The Ponce-Sanchez Lawsuit has now been consolidated with the Class Action Lawsuit and both cases will proceed under the Class Action Lawsuit docket.

The complaints both allege that the Defendants made materially false and or misleading statements that caused losses to investors.

Additionally, the complaints both allege that the Defendants failed to disclose in public statements that the Company engaged in certain related party transactions, that insiders and related parties were enriching themselves by misusing shareholder funds, and that the Company masked the true number of free-floating shares.

Neither complaint quantifies any alleged damages, but, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, they seek to recover damages on behalf of themselves and other persons who purchased or otherwise acquired Company stock during the

Table of Conte n t s

putative class period from August 23, 2018 through March 23, 2020 at allegedly inflated prices and purportedly suffered financial harm as a result.

On October 13, 2020, the Court appointed Yun F.

Yee as lead plaintiff and approved Mr.

Yee’s counsel as lead counsel in the consolidated Class Action Lawsuit.

Thereafter, an amended complaint was filed, which purports to expand the putative class period from August 23, 2018 to November 9, 2020.

The Defendants filed their motion to dismiss the amended complaint on January 19, 2021, which is pending.

The Class Action Lawsuit does not quantify any alleged damages.

The Company intends to defend the consolidated Class Action Lawsuit vigorously.

On June 15, 2020, Mendoza filed a shareholder derivative lawsuit on behalf of the Company as a nominal defendant (the “Mendoza Derivative Lawsuit”) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against certain of the Company’s present and former directors and officers (collectively, the “Mendoza Derivative Defendants”) styled Mendoza v.

Zhou Min Ni, et al., Civil Action No.

2:20-CV-5300-ODW-JPR (C.D.

The complaint in the Mendoza Derivative Lawsuit is based largely on the same allegations as set forth in the Class Action Lawsuit discussed above and alleges violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, breach of fiduciary duties , unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets.

The Mendoza Derivative Lawsuit does not quantify any alleged damages, but, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, Mendoza seeks to recover damages on behalf of the Company for purported financial harm and to have the court order changes in the Company’s corporate governance.

The Mendoza Derivative Defendants and the Company intend to defend the Mendoza Derivative Lawsuit vigorously.

On July 8, 2020, the Court ordered that all proceedings in the Mendoza Derivative Lawsuit be stayed until such time as the Court has finally resolved the Defendants’ motion to dismiss the Class Action Lawsuit.

At this stage, the Company is unable to determine whether a future loss will be incurred due to the consolidated Class Action Lawsuit or the Mendoza Derivative Lawsuit, or estimate a range of loss, if any;

accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020.

On August 21, 2020, plaintiff Jim Bishop ("Bishop") filed a putative shareholder derivative lawsuit (the “Bishop Lawsuit”) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against certain of the Company’s present and former directors and officers, as well as the Company (collectively, the “Bishop Defendants”) styled Jim Bishop v.

Zhou Min Ni, et al.

, Civil Action No.

1:20-cv-01103-RGA (D.

The Bishop Lawsuit complaint alleges claims that are virtually the same as those alleged in the Mendoza Derivative Lawsuit.

The Bishop Lawsuit does not quantify any alleged damages.

But in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs, Bishop seeks to recover damages on behalf of the Company for purported financial harm and to have the Court order changes to the Company’s corporate governance.

The Bishop Defendants and the Company intend to defend vigorously the allegations in the Bishop Lawsuit, assuming it proceeds.

On October 20, 2020, Bishop and the Bishop Defendants filed a Joint Stipulation to Stay Litigation with the Court.

On November 19, 2020, the Bishop Lawsuit was transferred to the United Stated District Court for the Central District of California, as case number 2:20-CV-10657-ODW-JPR(C.D.Cal.).

Motions to consolidate the Mendoza Derivative Lawsuit and the Bishop Lawsuit, and to designate a lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff’s counsel, are pending in both cases.

The Court further ordered that the Bishop Defendants do not need to respond to the complaint until the consolidation and appointment of lead plaintiff's counsel are resolved.

This case remains in early procedural stage.

At this stage, the Company is unable to determine whether a future loss will be incurred due to the Bishop Lawsuit or estimate a range of loss, if any;

accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 .

NOTE 19 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

273 Co has agreed to observe all the covenants and conditions of the Lease Agreement, as amended, including the payment of all rents due.

Under the terms of the Lease Agreement and the Assignment, 273 Co has undertaken to construct, at Company’s expense, a building on the premises, at a minimum cost of $ 2,500,000 .

The 273 Lease Agreement and the Lease Amendment provide for a term of 30 years, with option to renew for 10 additional years, at an annual rent starting at $ 325,000 and escalating annually throughout the term, with the annual rent in the final year of the initial term of $ 1,047,974 .

The 273 Lease Amendment further granted certain rent abatement to the premises for 2020 and 2021, including a 20 % reduction of annual rent in 2021.

The Lease Amendment permits subletting of the premises.

In January 2021, one of the Company's subsidiary, Kirnland signed a new 5-year operating lease agreement with a related party, Yoan to continue to lease the warehouse space that Kirnland has been operating in at 36 - 40 Enterprise Blvd, Atlanta, Georgia ("Warehouse Lease").

See Note 13 - Leases.

On February 25, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Revolution Industry, LLC ("Revolution"), a company owned by the son of Company's former Chairman and Co-CEO.
