iFRESH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Description of Business

Organization and General

iFresh is an Asian/Chinese supermarket chain with multiple retail locations and its own distribution operations, currently all located along the East Coast of the United States. The Company offers seafood, vegetables, meat, fruit, frozen goods, groceries, and bakery products through its retail stores.

In April 2020, the Company acquired Hubei Rongentang Wine Co., Ltd and Hubei Rongentang Herbal Wine Co., Ltd., (“RET”) and Xiamen DL Medical Technology Co, Ltd., (“DL Medical”) which are incorporated and located in China to expand its business. RET is engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling rice liquor products and herbal rice wine products in the PRC. DL Medical’s core business includes engineering and technical research and experimental development in and production of medical protective masks, non-medical daily protective masks, and cotton spinning processing.

In August 2020.The company acquired 100% equity interest of Jiuxiang Blue Sky Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“Jiuxiang”) incorporated and located in China Jiuxiang specializes in providing supply chain services that satisfy customer demands for daily necessities, green products and services. Jiuxiang has developed an advanced supply chain Platform targeting Business to Business to Consumer (B2B2C)) areas, including single-purpose prepaid card payment systems, and supply chain systems. These products utilize an integrated operating model and centralized IT-infrastructure to help clients capitalize on new digital capabilities, including enhanced connectivity, online-to-offline shopping experience, digital payment systems, and customized SME system platform.

iFresh and its subsidiaries as described above are collectively referred to as the “Company”.

(Refer to Note 5 for the detail of these acquisitions).

2. Liquidity and Going Concern

As reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company had negative working capital of $18.6 million and $28.6 million as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The Company had equity of $21.3 million and deficit of $2.6 million as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company had operating income of $2.2 million and operating losses of $8.3 million respectively. The Company did not meet certain financial covenants required in its credit agreement with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”). As of December 31, 2020, the Company has outstanding loan facilities of approximately $20 million due to KeyBank. Failure to maintain these loan facilities will have a significant impact on the Company’s operations.

In assessing its liquidity, management monitors and analyzes the Company’s cash on-hand, its ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. iFresh had funded working capital and other capital requirements in the past primarily by equity contributions from shareholders, cash flow from operations, and bank loans. As of December 31, 2020, the Company also has $7 million of advances and receivable from the related parties we intend to collect.  In April and May 2020, the Company received a Paycheck Protection Program loan (“PPP loan”) of approximately $1.77 million. During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company had a net operating income of $2,295,300.

The Company was in default under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020. Specifically, the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain a senior funded debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio for the trailing 12 months period of less than 3.00 to 1.00 at the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, this ratio was greater than 3.00 to 1.00, and the Company was therefore not in compliance with the financial covenants of the KeyBank loan. In addition, the Company violated the loan covenant when Mr. Long Deng, CEO and shareholder of the Company sold an aggregate of 8,294,989 restricted shares to HK Xu Ding Co., Limited, representing 51% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company as of December 31, 2018. The Company failed to obtain a written consent for the occurrence of the change of ownership. KeyBank notified the Company in February that it has not waived the default and reserves all of its rights, power, privileges, and remedies under the Credit Agreement. effective as of March 1, 2019, interest has been accrued on all loans at the default rate.

On May 20, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with KeyBank, pursuant to which KeyBank has agreed to delay the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan agreement based on the existence of the event of share transfer defaults for nine months. The Forbearance Agreement contained customary forbearance covenants and other forbearance covenants and defined certain events of defaults.

On October 9, 2020, Keybank executed a “Deposit Account Control Agreement” and withdrew $674,636 in the deposit account and applied to the outstanding principal of our revolving credit line.

From January to December 2020, non-payment of the amount due by the Company was $2,315,869. Also, the Company is not in compliance with certain loan covenants. On August 6, 2020 the Company received 3rd forbearance agreement from KeyBank, which includes the following terms:  

● All delinquent regular interest paid at or before settlement.

● August and September required payments will be regular interest amounts

● Default interest will be deferred until September 25, 2020

● Store valuations will be ordered by the lender.

● Continue to provide weekly cash flow reports

● Provide quarterly financial statements of NYM Holding and subsidiaries (“NYM”), iFresh and newly acquired businesses.

● Monthly financial projections

● Cost/work detail on the completion of the CT store

● Pledge of the equity and guarantee of newly acquired businesses.

● File a UCC-1 financing statement for iFresh Inc.

On February 4, 2021 the Company received a limited Waiver and Amendment Agreement from Keybank, which includes the following terms:  

● Provides a limited waiver of the specific events of default, the accrued and unpaid interest at the default rate, and the accrued and unpaid reimbursable fees and costs.

● Return control of the deposit accounts of the Loan Parties with the Depository Bank to the Loan Parties.

● Commercing on March 1, 2021, loan parties shall be obligated to pay in equal monthly installments of $50,000. Interest shall accrue on the loans at the stated Rate.

● Maturity date of this agreement on December 31, 2021

● Limited Guaranty Agreement dated on May 20, 2019 subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to Section 6.7 upon $2,000,000 paid in immediately available funds owed by Mr. Deng to the Lender under Deng Guaranty.

● iFresh shall pay 50% of any equity contribution to the lender for application to and against the outstanding principal balance of the loans.

● Delivered consolidating statement of income and thirteen week cash flow projection.

● Permit the lender or a third party to conduct a valuation of the loan parties.  

● Acquired any new Subsidiary shall obtain the prior written consent of Key Bank, and shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed, or denied.

If agreement cannot be reached, KeyBank is fully prepared to pursue legal remedies. As of the date of this filing, the Forbearance Agreement is still under negotiation.

The Company was impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak as it operates in areas under stay-at-home orders since mid-March 2020. The Company had to operate under reduced hours including temporary closure of the stores located in Brooklyn, Manhattan and in Flushing, New York, where there are with high populations and a high risk of infection during the end of March and April peak periods.   The store in Flushing was permanently closed in December, 2020.

The Company’s principal liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. The Company’s ability to fund these needs will depend on its future performance, which will be subject in part to the continued effect of COVID-19, general economic, competitive and other factors beyond its control. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to remain a going concern.

The management has been putting effort in reaching out to external investors and are now in the process of contacting several potential investors. With the fast development of the online shopping and fresh delivery sectors, the management has input in related industries and seeking opportunities to further strengthen its own supply chain and customers’ service quality in the Company’s online shopping platform- online iFresh. The management also filed an S-1 to help raise additional capital for the Company. The management will also apply for the second round of PPP loans.

3. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on August 13, 2020.

The Company has four reportable and operating segments. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM bears ultimate responsibility for, and is actively engaged in, the allocation of resources and the evaluation of the Company’s operating and financial results based on the financial information for these operating segments.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s critical accounting estimates include, but are not limited to: allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables, inventory valuations, lease assumptions, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of intangible assets, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist primarily of uncollected amounts from customer purchases (primarily from the Company’s two distribution operations and the company’s subsidiaries in China), credit card receivables, and food stamp vouchers, and are presented net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts.   

The Company periodically assesses its accounts receivable for collectability on a specific identification basis. If collectability of an account becomes unlikely, an allowance is recorded for that doubtful account. Once collection efforts have been exhausted, the account receivable is written off against the allowance.

Inventories

Inventories in our supermarkets consist of merchandise purchased for resale, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost method is used for wholesale and retail perishable inventories by assigning costs to each of these items based on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis (net of vendor discounts). Inventories in our hot food, liquor and mask businesses consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished products. Cost includes the cost of raw materials, freight in, direct labor and related production overhead. The cost of these inventories is calculated using the weighted average method.

Any excess of the cost over the net realizable value of each item of inventory is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value of inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated at the selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. Allowances for obsolescence are also assessed based on expiration dates, as applicable, taking into consideration historical and expected future product sales.

Leases

On April 1, 2019 the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02. For all leases that were entered into prior to the effective date of ASC 842, we elected to apply the package of practical expedients. Based on this guidance we did not reassess the following: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the recognition of $65.6 million of operating lease assets and $72.3 operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of April 1, 2019 (See Note 13 for additional information).

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of obligations under operating leases, and obligations under operating leases, non-current on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, current portion of obligations under capital leases, and obligations under capital leases, non-current on our consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date, adjusted by the deferred rent liabilities at the adoption date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S GAAP.

This framework establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and non-financial liabilities are primarily used in the impairment analysis of intangible assets and long-lived assets.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, advances to related parties, accounts payable, deferred revenue and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Based on comparable open market transactions, the fair value of the lines of credit, PPP loans and other liabilities, including current maturities, approximated their carrying value as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively due to their short term nature. The Company’s estimates of the fair value of the line of credit and other liabilities (including current maturities) were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Paycheck Protection Program Loans (PPP) Loans

The Company’s policy is to account for the PPP loan (See Note 11) as debt. The Company will continue to record the loan as debt until either (1) the loan is partially or entirely forgiven and the Company has been legally released, at which point the amount forgiven will be recorded as income or (2) the Company pays off the loan.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with FASB ASU- Topic 606 revenue is recognized at the time the sale is made, at which time our walk-in customers take immediate possession of the merchandise or delivery is made to our wholesale customers. Payment terms are established for our wholesale customers based on the Company’s pre-established credit requirements. Payment terms vary depending on the customer. Based on the nature of receivables, no significant financing components exist. Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. We estimate the reduction to sales and cost of sales for returns based on current sales levels and our historical return experience.

Topic 606 defines a performance obligation as a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is considered the unit of account. The majority of our 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.

We had no material contract assets, contract liabilities, or costs to obtain and fulfil contracts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020. For the nine months 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.

Below is a description of the revenue recognition of the three China subsidiaries:

DL Medical:

The revenue is mainly from the sales of medical protective masks and non-medical daily protective masks. For sales in China, revenues are recognized when invoice is sent and product is delivered. There is no sales discount on the sales amount as of December 31, 2020. For sales to the U.S., after the order is confirmed, the Company will ship out the goods. Revenue is recognized after the goods arrive at the designated port, usually New York or Los Angeles.

RET Wine Co.:

The revenue is mainly from the sales of wine. Revenues are recognized after invoicing and delivering. There is no sales discount on the sales amount.

Jiuxiang:

The revenue is mainly direct from the sale of the Company’s inventory, including daily necessities, tobacco and alcohol, and all revenue is recognized at the sales price. At the same time, in 2020, a part of the Company’s revenues comes from membership card sales, and this part will be recognized at the e-commerce membership card price. Specifically, the revenue can be recognized as described below:

1. Offline sales of regular products. When a client makes payment to the Company, we record as advance payments. Revenues are confirmed and recorded after the Company received confirmation from the client that the delivery of the goods was complete and correct.

2. Online sales of regular products. When the customer places the order and makes the payment, the Company will record as advance payments. After the company ships out the goods, and passes the return period of seven days with no claim of returning the goods, revenues will be confirmed and recorded.

3. Online sales of membership cards (“Gift Bag”). After the customer purchases the Gift Bag, the Company will record as advance payments. Revenues are confirmed after the customer redeems the goods.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the time of purchase. Cash equivalents also include amounts due from third-party financial institutions for credit and debit card transactions. These receivables typically settle in three days or less.

11

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 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 consideration 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 cost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree, (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings as a bargain purchase gain.

The Company uses an independent valuations company to estimate 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 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 in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill

The Company early adopted ASU No. 2017-04, 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.

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 value may not be recoverable and annually for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as required by ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Others. 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. If, based on a review of qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative analysis. 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.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company has goodwill impairment losses $521,230.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost and 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)
Business license	15
Land use right	46
Trademark	10
Backlog	1
Technology	5

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The changes take effect for public companies for fiscal years starting after December. 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted this ASU and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): The amendments in this Update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amendments broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss, which will be more decision- useful to users of the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for issuers and December 15, 2020 for non-issuers. Early adoption is permitted for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. This update adds optional transition relief for entities to elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis to increase comparability of similar financial assets. The updates should be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified retrospective approach). In November 19, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 to amend the effective date for ASU 2016-13 to be fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods therein. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 (“ASU 2019-12”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to managerial accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard, and does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Earnings (loss) per share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts, such as warrants, options, restricted stock based grants and convertible preferred stock, to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Common stock equivalents having an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. When the Company has a loss, no potential dilutive items are included since they would be antidilutive.

Stock dividends or stock splits are accounted for retroactively as if the stock dividends or stock splits occur during the beginning of the earliest period presented and if the stock dividends or stock splits occur after the end of the period but before the release of the financial statements, by considering it effective as of the beginning of each period presented.

Below is a reconciliation of how basic and diluted earnings per share was calculated.

Functional currency and foreign currency translation

An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. Normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements. The functional currency of the Company’s three China subsidiaries is the RMB. The reporting currency of these consolidated financial statements is in US Dollars.

The financial statements of the China subsidiaries, which are prepared using the RMB, are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, the US Dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each reporting period end date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from these transactions are included in operations.

The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation are as follows:

		For the Three Months Ended
		December 31, 2020		December 31, 2019	March 31, 2020
		(RMB to USD)		(RMB to USD)	(RMB to USD)

Concentration of credit risk

The Company maintains cash balances in ten banks in China. In China, the insurance coverage of each bank is RMB500,000 (approximately USD$76,000). As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately RMB19,420,000 (approximately USD $2,911,000) in excess of the insurance amounts.

The Company maintains cash balances in nine financial institutions in the U.S., which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000 per institution. From time to time, the Company’s balances may exceed these limits. As of December 31,2020, the Company had approximately $291,000 in excess of the insurance amounts.

5. Acquisitions

Hubei Rongentang Wine Co., Ltd and Hubei Rongentang Herbal Wine Co., Ltd. (“RET”)

On March 26, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Kairui Tong and Hao Huang (collectively, the “Sellers”) and Hubei Rongentang Wine Co., Ltd. and Hubei Rongentang Herbal Wine Co., Ltd., pursuant to which the Company purchased their 100% interest in Hubei Rongentang Wine Co., Ltd. and Hubei Rongentang Herbal Wine Co., Ltd. (collectively, the “Target Companies”) in exchange for 3,852,372 shares of the Company’s common stock and 1,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). Upon approval of the Company’s shareholders, the 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be converted into 3,834,796 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series B Preferred will rank on parity with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company.

On April 22, 2020, the Company consummated the above purchase. The aggregate fair value of the consideration paid by the Company is approximately $9.8 million and is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the date of closing. The excess of the total cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets was recorded as goodwill.

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the purchase method of accounting. The preliminary purchase price allocation of the transaction was determined by the Company with the assistance of an independent appraisal firm based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.

The following table presents the preliminary purchase price allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of this acquisition:

Cash	$	371,310

PPP Loans from government

In April and May 2020, the Company applied for and received funding for a loan of $1,768,212 provided by US Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program, which is part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES”), enacted on March 27, 2020. Under the terms of the SBA PPP loan, up to 100% of the principal and accrued interest may be forgiven if certain criteria are met and the loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses such as payroll costs, benefits, rent, and utilities as described in the CARES Act. These loans have an interest rate of 1% with a maturity of 2 years.

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the SBA granted loan forgiveness in the amount of $212,593 which was included in other income.

KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) – Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On December 23, 2016, NYM Holding, a subsidiary of iFresh, as borrower, entered into a $25 million senior secured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank” or “Lender”). The Credit Agreement provides for (1) a revolving credit line of $5,000,000 for making advances and issuance of letter of credit, (2) $15,000,000 of a term loan and (3) $5,000,000 of a delayed draw term loan. The interest rate is equal to (1) the Lender’s “prime rate” plus 0.95%, or (b) the Adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.95%. Both the termination date of the revolving credit and the maturity date of the term loans are December 23, 2021. The Company paid a commitment fee of 0.25% of the undrawn amount of the Revolving Credit Facility and 0.25% of the unused Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility. $4,275,364 of the revolving credit was outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

$15,000,000 of the term loan was fully funded by the lender in January 2017. The Company is required to make fifty-nine consecutive monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $142,842 starting from February 1, 2017 and a final payment of the then entire unpaid principal balance of the term loan, plus accrued interest on the maturity date. On December 23, 2016, the Company used the proceeds from the term loan to pay off the outstanding balance under the Bank of America credit line agreement and HSBC line of credit.

The Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be advanced on the Delayed Draw Funding date, which is no later than December 23, 2021. $1,050,000 loan was advanced on July 13, 2017 and $3,950,000 was advanced on May 9, 2018.

The senior secured credit facility is secured by all assets of the Company and is jointly guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries   and contains financial and restrictive covenants. The financial covenants require NYM Holding Inc and its subsidiaries to deliver audited consolidated financial statements within one hundred twenty days after each fiscal year end and to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio not less than 1.1 to 1.0 and senior funded debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio less than 3.0 to 1.0 at the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, these ratios were not met, and the Company was therefore not in compliance with the financial covenants of the KeyBank loan. Except as stated below, the senior secured credit facility is subject to customary events of default. It will be an event of default if Mr. Long Deng resigns, is terminated,   or is no longer actively involved in the management of NYM and a replacement reasonably satisfactory to the Lender is not made within Sixty (60)   days after such event takes place. The Company violated the loan covenant when Mr. Long Deng, CEO and shareholder of the Company sold an aggregate of 8,294,989 restricted shares to HK Xu Ding Co., Limited on January 23, 2019, representing 51% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company as of December 31, 2018. The Company failed to obtain a written consent for the change of ownership. As a result, effective as of March 1, 2019, interest was accrued on all loans at the 3% default rate   and the monthly principal and interest payment due under the effective date term loan will be $155,872 instead of $142,842.

21

On May 20, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with KeyBank, pursuant to which KeyBank agreed to delay the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan agreement based on the existence of the share transfer default for 6 months. The Forbearance Agreement contained customary forbearance covenants and defined certain events of defaults. Starting from May, 2019, the monthly payment decreased to $142,842 as originally required per the credit facility agreements.

The Company failed to meet its obligations under the Loan Agreements by the end of the First Forbearance Period. On October 17, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company, Go Fresh 365, Inc. (“Go Fresh”), Mr. Long Deng and Keybank entered into the second forbearance agreement (the “Second Forbearance Agreement”). Pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement dated as of December 26, 2016, as amended by several joinder agreements and the Second Forbearance Agreement, the Company, certain subsidiaries of NYM Holding, Go Fresh and Mr. Long Deng (collectively, the “Guarantors”, and together with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”) have agreed to guarantee the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement (“Obligations”). KeyBank has agreed to delay the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement based on the existence of certain events of default (the “Specified Events of Default”) until the earlier to occur of: (a) 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the November 29, 2019; and (b) a Forbearance Event of Default.

On October 9, 2020, Keybank executed a “Deposit Account Control Agreement” remitting any funds on deposit in the Deposit Account to the Secured Party. There was $674,636 in the listed accounts which was withdrawn by Key Bank and applied to the principal of a revolving credit line.

From Jan to December 2020, non-payment of the amount due by the Company was $2,315,869. Also, the Company has failed to meet certain loan covenants. On August 6, 2020 the Company received the 3^rd forbearance agreement from KeyBank, which included the following terms:

● All delinquent regular interest paid at or before settlement.

● August and September required payments will be at the regular interest amounts.

● Default interest will be deferred until 9/25/2020

● Store valuations will be ordered by the lender.

● Continue to provide weekly cash flow reports.

● Provide quarterly financial statements of NYM Holding and subsidiaries, iFresh and newly acquired businesses.

● Monthly financial projections.

● Cost/work detail on the completion of the CT store.

● Pledge of the equity and guarantee of newly acquired businesses.

● File a UCC-1 financing statement for iFresh Inc.

On February 4, 2021   the Company received proposed limited Waiver and Amendment Agreement from Keybank, which included the following terms:

● Provides a limited waiver of the specific events of default, the accrued and unpaid interest at the default rate, and the accrued and unpaid reimbursable fees and costs.

● Return control of the deposit accounts of the Loan Parties with the Depository Bank to the Loan Parties.

● Commencing on March 1, 2021, loan parties shall be obligated to pay in equal monthly instalments of $50,000. Interest shall accrue on the loans at the stated Rate.

● Maturity date of this agreement on December 31, 2021.

22

● Limited Guaranty Agreement dated on May 20, 2019 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to Section 6.7 upon $2,000,000 paid in immediately available funds owed by Mr. Deng to the Lender under Deng Guaranty.

● iFresh shall pay 50% of any equity contribution to the lender for application to and against the outstanding principal balance of the loans.

● Delivery of consolidating statement of income and thirteen week cash flow projection.

● Permit the lender or a third party to conduct a valuation of the loan parties.

● Acquired any new Subsidiary shall obtain the prior written consent, and shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed, or denied.

If agreement cannot be reached, KeyBank is fully prepared to pursue legal remedies. As of the date of this report, the Forbearance Agreement  is still under negotiation.

14. 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 CODM for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management, including the CODM, reviews operating results by the revenue of different products or services. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined that it has four operating segments as defined by ASC 280, consisting of wholesale, retail, liquor business and medical product business for the nine months ended December 31, 2020. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company determined it has two operation segments consisting of wholesale and retail.

15. Shareholder’s Equity

On October 19, 2018, the Company and certain institutional investors entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to such investors an aggregate of 1,275,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) in a registered direct offering and warrants to purchase up to approximately 1,170,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in a concurrent private placement, for gross proceeds of approximately $2.55 million (the “Financing”). The warrants were exercisable immediately following the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $2.25. The warrants will expire 5 years from the earlier of the date on which the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or may be exercised on a cashless basis and be immediately sold pursuant to Rule 144. The purchase price for each share of Common Stock and the corresponding warrant was $2.00. Each warrant is subject to anti-dilution provisions that require adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the warrant, or to the exercise price of such shares, or both, to reflect stock dividends and splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro-rata distributions, and certain fundamental transactions.  

Management determined that these warrants are equity instruments because the warrants are both a) indexed to its own stock; and b) classified in stockholders’ equity. The warrants were recorded at their fair value on the date of grant as a component of stockholders’ equity. On June 5, 2019, the Company agreed to issue to the Holders an aggregate of 1,170,000 shares (“Exchange Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and warrant to purchase an aggregate of 1,170,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Warrants”) as the negotiated purchase price for the Existing Warrants based on the Black Scholes Value as a result of a certain transaction which was deemed as a Fundamental Transaction as defined in the purchase agreement. On March 23, 2020, 585,000 warrants were cashless exercised by the issuance of 287,049 shares of common stock.

On December 11, 2019, iFresh Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) between Mr. Deng and the Company, pursuant to which the Mr. Deng agreed to convert debt owed to him by the Company into 1,000 preferred shares of the Company. Upon receiving stockholder approval for the conversion, the 1,000 shares of preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock.

On January 13, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation creating the class of Preferred Stock required by the Conversion Agreement, and $3,500,000 of capital Mr. Deng contributed to the Company were converted into 1,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock has no voting rights, no dividend, no redemption right and will convert automatically into 9,210,526 shares of the   Company’s common stock once the conversion is approved by the Company’s stockholders. In the event of the liquidation of the Company, the Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference equal to $3,500,000 over the Company’s common stock.

On March 25, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with two third party individuals, Dengrong Zhou and Qiang Ou (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors agreed to purchase 1,783,167 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for $2,500,000. Subsequently on April 9, 2020, these shares were issued and the transaction was closed.

In April 2020, the Company issued 4,752,372 shares of the Company’s common stock and 1,000 shares of the Company’s series B convertible preferred stock, which will be converted to 3,834,796 shares of the Company’s common stock to acquire RET and DL Medical. Upon approval by the purchaser’s shareholders, the preferred stock will be converted to common stock. The Series B Preferred will rank on parity with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company. See Note 5 for the details of the transactions.

In August 2020, for the acquisition of Jiuxiang, the Company issued 5,036,298 shares of the Company’s common stock and 1,000 shares of the Company’s series C convertible preferred stock, which will convert automatically into 1,916,781 shares of the Company’s common stock once the conversion is approved by the Company’s stockholders.  

On January 6, 2021, iFresh, Inc. (the “Company”) issued 6,043,054 shares of common stock of the Company to Mr. Long Deng in exchange for the cancellation of 656 of Mr. Deng’s currently outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Please refer to Note 19 for more details.

16. Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled. iFresh is a Delaware holding company that is subject to U.S. income tax.

iFresh is taxed as a corporation for income tax purposes and as a result of the “Contribution Agreement” entered into on December 31, 2014 iFresh has elected to file a consolidated federal income tax return with its eleven subsidiaries. iFresh and the shareholders of the eleven entities, as parties to the Contribution Agreement, entered into a tax-free transaction under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 whereby the eleven entities became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. As a result of the tax-free transaction and the creation of a consolidated group, the subsidiaries are required to adopt the tax year-end of its parent, iFresh. iFresh was incorporated on July 21, 2016 and has adopted a tax-year end of March 31.

27

RET, DL Medical and Jiuxiang are incorporated in the PRC and subject to PRC income tax which is computed according to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC. Under the Corporate Income Tax Law of PRC, the current corporate income tax rate of 25% is applicable to all companies, including both domestic and foreign-invested companies.

Certain of the subsidiaries have incurred net operating losses (“NOL”) in tax years ending prior to the Contribution Agreement. The U.S. net operating losses are subject to the Separate Return Limitation Year (“SRLY”) rules which limit the utilization of the losses to the subsidiaries who generated the losses. The SRLY losses are not available to offset taxable income generated by members of the consolidated group.

Based upon management’s assessment of all available evidence, the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets, primarily for certain of the subsidiaries SRLY NOL carry-forwards will not be realizable; and therefore, a full valuation allowance is established for SRLY NOL carry-forwards. Pursuant to The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act, NOLs from the 2018, 2019, and 2020 tax years can be carried back to the previous five tax years (beginning with the earliest year first) and suspends the 80% of taxable income limitation through the 2020 tax year. The NOL carry-backs can result in an immediate refund of taxes paid in prior years. The Company has elected to carry back $9,166,320 in NOL under the CARES Act. The Company plans to file by 3/31/2021, resulting in a tax receivable of $3,116,549.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets in the US was $3,790,616   and $7,643,963 as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets in China was $1,845,426 as of December 31, 2020.

The Company has approximately $17,313,000 and $30,497,000 of US NOL carry forwards of which approximately $3,081,000 and $3,136,000 are SRLY NOL as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The Company also has $6,479,000 NOL from its Chinese entities, which was fully reserved with a valuation allowance. For income tax purposes, those NOLs will expire in the year 2033 through 2037. NOLs after 2017 will not expire. NOLs from Chinese entities will expire through the year 2025.

These matters have not resulted in any material losses to date.

Leo J. Motsis, as Trustee of the 140-148 East Berkeley Realty Trust v. Ming’s  Supermarket, Inc.

This case relates to a dispute between Ming’s Supermarket, Inc. (“Ming”), a subsidiary of the Company and the landlord of the building located at 140-148 East Berkeley Street, Boston, MA (the “Property”), under a long-term operating lease (“Lease”). Since February 2015, Ming was unable to use the property due to structural damage assessed by the Inspection Services Department of the City of Boston (“ISD”), and stopped paying the rent since April 2015 after the landlord refused to make the structural repairs. The landlord then sued Ming for breach of the Lease and unpaid rent, and Ming counterclaimed for constructive eviction and for damages resulting from the landlord’s breach of its duty to make the structural repairs under the Lease.

The case was tried before a jury in August 2017. The jury awarded Ming a judgment against the landlord in the amount of $795,000, plus continuing damages of $2,250 per month until the structural repairs are completed. The court found that the landlord’s actions violated the Massachusetts unfair and deceptive acts and practices statute and therefore doubled the amount of damages to $1,590,000 and further ruled that Ming should also recover costs and attorneys’ fees of approximately $250,000. The result is a judgment in favor of Ming and against the landlord that will total approximately $1.85 million. The judgment requires the landlord to repair the premises and obtain an occupancy permit. The landlord is responsible to Ming for damages in the amount of $2,250 per month until an occupancy permit is issued. The judgment also accrues interest at the rate of 12% per year until paid.

The landlord filed an appeal, the appeal hearing was held on July 12, 2019 and the judge concluded that the landlord should be required both to perform the relevant obligations of the lease in the future and to pay damages caused by his previous failure to do so and for any period of delay in completing his specific performance. On November 5, 2019, the Appeals Court issued a full decision affirming the judgment was entered and transmitted a rescript of the affirmance of the judgment to the superior count.

The final judgment was entered after rescript on May 7, 2020. On June 29, 2020, the landlord executed the final judgment and made the payment of $2,536,142 to Ming, which is included in other income.

The Company is fully cooperating with the SEC’s request.

19. Subsequent Events

KeyBank Loans

From January to Jan 2020, the Company failed to make loan payments of $2,466,670.

On February 4, 2021 the Company received a proposed limited Waiver and Amendment Agreement from Keybank. It is being reviewed by the company, please refer to Note 11 for key terms.

Covid 19

Under the potential resurgence of Covid-19 in the winter of 2020, the Company may experience loss in sales in its retail locations. Since the stores are mainly located in New York and Florida, which are greatly impacted by the pandemic, related government departments such as DOH and CDC have directly given safety plans and guidelines to the Company. Regulations including social distancing, controlling in-store customer traffic, and curfew orders have impacted the sales in stores significantly, and such impact will possibly continue. On the other side, the supply chain as well as the wholesale section are also expecting potential challenges caused by Covid-19. The Company’s online sales may increase due to customers ordering grocery delivery instead of shopping in stores. Sales decreased by 10% in January 2021, compared to sales in January 2020.

Nasdaq Stock Market Notice

On October 5, 2020, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq, which stated that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires an issuer to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”).

Overview

iFresh Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “iFresh” or the “Company”) is a Delaware company incorporated in July 2016 in order to reincorporate E-Compass Acquisition Corp. (“E-Compass”) to Delaware pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined below). Immediately following the reincorporation, we acquired NYM Holding, Inc (“NYM”). E-Compass was a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. NYM is a fast growing Asian/Chinese grocery supermarket chain in the north-eastern U.S. providing food and other merchandise hard to find in mainstream grocery stores. Since NYM was formed in 1995, NYM has been targeting the Chinese and other Asian populations in the U.S. with its in-depth cultural understanding of its target customer’s unique consumption habits. iFresh currently has nine retail supermarkets across New York, Massachusetts and Florida, with in excess of 4,938,600 sales transactions in its stores in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. It also has one in-house wholesale businesses, Strong America Limited (“Strong America covering more than 6,000 wholesale products and servicing both NYM retail supermarkets and over 1,000 external clients that range from wholesalers to retailing groceries and restaurants. NYM has a stable supply of food from farms in New Jersey and Florida, ensuring reliable supplies of the most popular vegetables, fruits and seafood. Its wholesale business and long term relationships with farms insulate NYM from supply interruptions and sales declines, allowing it to remain competitive even during difficult markets.

On March 26, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”) with Kairui Tong and Hao Huang (collectively, the “Sellers”) and Hubei Rongentang Wine Co., Ltd. and Hubei Rongentang Herbal Wine Co., Ltd (collectively, the “RET Wine Co.”)., pursuant to which the Sellers will sell their 100% interest in Hubei Rongentang Wine Co., Ltd. and Hubei Rongentang Herbal Wine Co., Ltd. (collectively, the “Target Companies”) to the Company in exchange for 3,852,372 shares of the Company’s common stock and 1,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). Upon approval of the Company’s shareholders, the 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be converted into 3,834,796 shares of the Company’s common stock. The acquisition was closed on April 22, 2020. RET Wine Co. is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of rice liquor products and Herbal Wine Co. is engaged in the business of manufacturing and sales of herbal rice liquor products.

RET Wine Co. has an automatic filling production line with an annual production capacity of 5,000 tons of liquor products at a 1,000 square-meter facility. Herbal Wine Co. has an automatic filling production line with an annual production capacity of 6,000 tons of herbal liquor.

In April 2020, we acquired 70% of Xiamen DL Medical Technology Co, Ltd., (“DL Medical”) a company in the People’s Republic of China, in exchange for $600,000 in cash and 900,000 shares of our common stock. The acquisition was closed on April 28, 2020.

In August 2020, The Company entered into an acquisition agreement with Jiuxiang. Jiuxiang specializes in providing supply chain    that satisfy customer demands for daily necessities, green products and services. Jiuxiang has developed an advanced supply chain Platform targeting Business to Business to Consumer (B2B2C)) areas, including single-purpose prepaid card payment systems and supply chain systems. These products utilize an integrated operating model and centralized IT-infrastructure to help clients capitalize for daily necessities on new digital capabilities, including enhanced connectivity, online-to-offline shopping experience, digital payment systems, and customized SME system platform.

These acquisitions are aimed to diversify the Company’s revenue stream and reduce the operational risk in the US. The operation of these three new businesses is expected to increase the Company’s profitability, increase the cash flow and improve the Company’s liquidity.

Outlook

iFresh is an Asian Chinese supermarket chain in the U.S. northeastern region with nine retail super markets and one wholesale facility. iFresh has strategically expanded along the eastern seaboard I-95 corridor in the past few years with retail stores in Massachusetts, New York and Florida.

a.	iFresh provides unique products to meet the demands of the Asian/Chinese American Market;
b.	iFresh has established a merchandising system backed by an in-house wholesale business and by long-standing relationships with farms and suppliers;
c.	iFresh maintains an in-house cooling system with unique hibernation technology that is has developed over 20 years to preserve perishables, especially produce and seafood; and
d.	iFresh capitalizes on economies of scale, allowing strong negotiating power with upstream vendors, downstream customers and sizable competitors;

As mentioned above, starting from 2020, the Company started to expand its operations in China by acquiring three companies in the manufacture of liquor products, manufacture of masks and related equipment and daily necessities business to diversify its revenue stream and reduce the supermarket operational risk in the US.

iFresh’s net sales were $75 million and $66.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Starting from April, 2020, we had revenue generated from our operations in China. For the Nine months ended December 31, the liquor, masks and related equipment and daily necessities businesses in China constituted approximately $2.3 million in sales. For the supermarket and trading business in the US, perishables constituted approximately 51.7% of the total sales for the Nine months ended December 31, 2020. iFresh’s net income was approximately $.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, an increase of approximately $6.7 million, or 105.5%, from the $6.3 million of net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA (the “Earnings before interest tax, depreciation and amortization”) was $4.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $7.3 million, or 234%, from negative $ 3.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019.

Factors Affecting iFresh’s Supermarket and Wholesale Distribution Operating Results

Seasonality

iFresh’s business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Sales in its first and second fiscal quarters (ending June 30 and September 30, respectively) are usually 5% to 10% lower than in third and fourth quarters (ending December 31 and March 31, respectively). In its third fiscal quarter, customers make holiday purchases for Thanksgiving and Christmas. In the fourth quarter, customers make purchases for traditional Chinese holidays, such as the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year, in January or February).

Competition

The Company faces competition from other Asian supermarkets. In the fiscal year 2019, two of our stores located in Boston and New York experienced significantly decreased sales due to competition from newly opened grocery stores. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company outsourced these two stores to a third party to operate and are collecting contracting fees. The Company’s retail sales decreased approximately 3.4 million due to the change of operations of these two stores. 

34

Payroll

Minimum wage rates in some states increased. For example, the minimum wage rose from $13 to $15 per hour in New York City. Payroll and related expenses decreased by $3.5 million, or 60.3% for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the same period of last year as a result of workforce reduction from permanent closure of stores and efforts to reduce costs resulting from the business impact of Covid-19.

Vendor and Supply Management

iFresh believes that a centralized and efficient vendor and supply management system are the keys to profitability. iFresh operates its own wholesale facility, which supplied about 14.8 % of its procurement for the nine months ended December 31, 2020. iFresh believes that its centralized vendor management enhances iFresh’s negotiating power and improves its ability to turn its inventory and vendor payables. Any changes to the vendor and supply management system could affect iFresh’s purchasing costs and operating expenses. Starting in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company’s wholesale business gradually slowed down and the retail stores rely heavily on third party vendors for inventory supplies instead of our centralized supply system.

Store Maintenance and Renovation

From time to time, iFresh conducts maintenance on the fixtures and equipment for its stores. Any maintenance or renovations could interrupt the operation of our stores and result in a decline of customer volume, and therefore sales volume, but will, in the opinion of management, boost sales after they are completed. Significant maintenance or renovation would affect our operations and operating results. As of December 31, 2020, one iFresh store is under renovation and has not opened yet.

Store Acquisitions and Openings

iFresh expects the new stores it acquires or opens to be the primary driver of its sales, operating profit and market share gains. iFresh’s results will be materially affected by the timing and number of new store additions and the amount of new store opening costs. For example, iFresh would incur rental, utilities and employee expenses during any period of renovation, which would be recorded as expenses on the statement of operations and would decrease iFresh’s profit until a store opens. iFresh may incur higher than normal employee costs associated with setup, hiring, training, and other costs related to opening a new store. Operating margins are also affected by promotional discounts and other marketing costs and strategies associated with new store openings, primarily due to overstocking, and costs related to hiring and training new employees. Additionally, promotional activities may result in higher than normal net sales in the first several weeks following a new store opening. A new store builds its sales volume and its customer base over time and, as a result, generally has lower margins and higher operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, than our more mature stores. A new store could take more than a year to achieve a level of operating performance comparable to our existing stores. Due to operational difficulties and loss, iFresh closed two stores in   New York and opened one store in Florida during the year ended March 31, 2020. iFresh closed one additional store between March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020.

COVID-19

The Company was impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak as it operates in areas under stay-at-home orders since mid-March 2020. The Company is classified as an essential business and has remained open to serve our customers and their communities. The safety of our associates and our customers is always our first priority. In response to COVID-19, iFresh incurred incremental operating expenses of over $323,000 in the 9 months ended December 31, 2020 for new initiatives implemented to support and protect our associates, customers and the communities as follows:

1. Enhanced and more frequent sanitation practices, including hourly cleaning of high touch point areas throughout our stores, like cashier stations, and customer bathrooms, nightly deep cleaning and disinfectant fogging in every store

2. Reduced store operating hours, including the closure of the stores located in Brooklyn, New York and in Flushing, New York, where there are high populations and a higher risk of infection during the end of March and April peak period.

3. Posting and educating official recommended guidance and adhere to guidelines within the safety plan.

4. Created a centralized call center to provide our associates with single guidance and direct reporting.

5. Expanded remote work capabilities for office associates and provided numerous private car pools in order to reduce the exposure to COVID-19 in public transportation.

35

6. Implemented a temporary wage or allowance premium of 15%-50% above the standard base rate of pay for front line associates

7. Donated over 200,000 masks to local police precincts, schools, the community and our customers.

8. Expanded online order sales and mobile order delivery

9. Limited bulk sales per customer on certain products such as milk, eggs, seafood & produce.

10. Limited the number of customers to approximately 25% of each store’s maximum occupancy, test the temperature of each customer, sterilize, and distribute masks and gloves before entering the facility.

11. Implemented a Personal Protective Equipment program, provided associates with masks and gloves, provide frontline associates, such as cashiers and security guards and delivery teams with protective clothing, goggles, and complementary herbal health care supplies to enhance the immune system.

12. Step Marking for Social Distancing program - installed floor markers and additional signage in high traffic areas to signify Six-foot distances to encourage proper social distancing, hiring safeguards to monitor the social distance and customer safety in store.

13. Reserved the first two hours of business each day for senior citizens and at-risk customers

14. Implemented temperature checks for all associates

15. Acquired the mask supplies business in China, to stock up to meet the demand of these products.

16. Installed plexiglass shields at all registers, guest services and pharmacy counters

Due to the stay-at-home order, sales transactions decreased by 50% from 2.6 million transactions for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 to 1.3 million transactions for the nine months ended December 31, 2020. However, sales per transaction increased from $14 to $25. Retail sales decreased by $1.5 million   due to the lockdown for the nine months ended December 31, 2020.

How to Assess iFresh’s Performance

In assessing performance, iFresh’s management considers a variety of performance and financial measures, including principal growth in net sales, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA. The key measures that we use to evaluate the performance of our business are set forth below:

Net Sales  

iFresh’s supermarket net sales comprise gross sales net of coupons and discounts. We do not record sales taxes as a component of retail revenues as it considers it a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales taxes. iFresh sales in China are recorded net of sales tax.

Gross Profit

iFresh calculates supermarket gross profit as net sales less cost of sales and occupancy costs. Gross margin represents gross profit as a percentage of its net sales. Occupancy costs include store rental costs and property taxes. The components of our cost of sales and occupancy costs may not be identical to those of its competitors. As a result, our gross profit and gross margin may not be comparable to similar data made available by our competitors.

Cost of sales includes the cost of inventory sold during the period, including the direct costs of purchased merchandise (net of discounts and allowances), distribution and supply chain costs, buying costs and supplies. iFresh recognizes vendor allowances and merchandise volume related rebate allowances as a reduction of inventories during the period when earned and reflects the allowances as a component of cost of sales as the inventory is sold. Shipping and handling for inventories purchased are included in the cost of goods sold.

36

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of retail operational expenses, administrative salaries and benefits costs, marketing, advertising and corporate overhead.

Adjusted EBITDA

iFresh believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure and can be used to facilitate a comparison of iFresh’s supermarket operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone can provide. iFresh also uses Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expected performance and for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations, and as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain compensation programs and plans for employees, including senior executives. Other companies in the industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than iFresh does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

iFresh’s management defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, store opening costs, and non-recurring expenses. All of the omitted items are either (i) non-cash items or (ii) items that we do not consider in assessing its ongoing operating performance. Because it omits non-cash items, iFresh’s management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and more reflective of other factors that affect its operating performance. iFresh’s management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other specialty retailers, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2020, iFresh had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $ 4.9 million. iFresh had a negative working capital of $17.9 million and $28.6 million and as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The long-term KeyBank loan of $20 million has been reclassified as short-term because the Company is in default with the KeyBank loan covenants and they have the option to accelerate payment at any time. The Company did not meet certain financial covenants required in the credit agreement and the subsequent forbearance agreement with KeyBank. Failure to maintain these loan facilities will have a significant impact on the Company’s operations. Refer to the discussion below in “KeyBank National Association – Senior Secured Credit Facilities” section for more detail.

iFresh has funded working capital and other capital requirements in the past primarily by equity contribution from shareholders, cash flow from operations, and bank loans. Cash is required to pay purchase costs for inventory, rental, salaries, office rental expenses, income taxes, other operating expenses and repay debts. iFresh’s ability to repay its current obligation will depend on the future realization of its current assets and its ability to refinance its loans with KeyBank or seek alternative sources of financing. iFresh’s management has considered the historical experience, the economy, trends in the retail industry, the expected collectability of the accounts receivable and the realization of the inventories as of December 31, 2020. iFresh’s ability to continue to fund these items may be affected by general economic, competitive and other factors including the pandemic, many of which are outside of our control and our financing.

We have $7 million of advances and receivables due from related parties that we intend to collect or acquire. For the nine months ended December 31, 2020, the Company received $2.5 million cash from the issuance of stock.

The management believes the Company does not have enough liquidity for the next twelve months.   Management is seeking additional outside investment and will apply for the second round of PPP loans.

The following table summarizes iFresh’s cash flow data for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

	For the Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2020			2019
	(Unaudited)			(Unaudited)
Net cash (used in) operating activities	$	(4,463,390	)	$	(2,771,905	)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities		5,075,443			(1,965,854	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		3,248,949			4,342,311
Net Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	3,861,002		$	(395,448	)

Operating Activities

Net cash used by operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation, changes in deferred income taxes, and the effect of working capital changes. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $1.7 million, compared to $2.8 million used in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. The increase was a result of a decrease of $6.7 million in net loss, offset by increase in cash used for inventory of $3.7 million, increase in cash used for deferred revenue of 3.4 million and increase in advances to related parties of $2 million.  

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $5.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $7.1 million, compared to $ 2 million used by investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase of $6.8 million cash received from the acquisitions of the three companies in 2020.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $3.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, which mainly consisted of cash received from issuance of stock of $2.5 million and cash received from governmental PPP loans of $1.6 million, offset by $0.8 million of cash paid for repayment of borrowings of the line credit, notes payable, and capital leases. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $4.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, which mainly consisted of cash received from capital contribution of $ 4.4 million.

Paycheck Protection Program loans from government

In April and May 2020, the Company received a Paycheck Protection Program loan (“PPP loan”) of $1,768,212   provided by the US Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The outstanding loan amount is $1,556,979 as pf December 31, 2020. These loans are designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll. SBA will forgive loans if all employee retention criteria are met, and the funds are used for eligible expenses. These loans have an interest rate of 1% with a maturity of 2 years.

KeyBank National Association – Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On December 23, 2016, NYM, as borrower, entered into a $25 million senior secured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank” or “Lender”). The Credit Agreement provides for (1) a revolving credit line of $5,000,000 for making advances and issuance of letters of credit, (2) $15,000,000 of a term loan and (3) $5,000,000 of a delayed draw term loan. The interest rate is equal to (1) the Lender’s “prime rate” plus 0.95%, or (b) the Adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.95%. Both the termination date of the revolving credit and the maturity date of the term loans are December 23, 2021. The Company will pay a commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the undrawn amount of the Revolving Credit Facility and 0.25% of the unused Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility. $15,000,000 of the term loan was fully funded by the lender in January 2017. The Company is required to make fifty-nine consecutive monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $142,842 starting from February 1, 2017 and a final payment of the then entire unpaid principal balance of the term loan, plus accrued interest on the maturity date.

The Delayed Draw Term Loan was available and would be advanced on the Delayed Draw Funding date (as defined in the Credit Agreement, which is no later than December 23, 2021. A withdrawal of $5 million under the Delayed Draw Term Loan was made as of March 31, 2019.

The senior secured credit facility is secured by all assets of the Company and is jointly guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries and contains financial and restrictive covenants. The financial covenants require NYM to deliver audited consolidated financial statements within one hundred twenty days after the fiscal year end and to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio not less than 1.1 to 1.0 and senior funded debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio of less than 3.0 to 1.0 at the last day of each fiscal quarter, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2017. Except as stated below, the senior secured credit facility is subject to customary events of default. It will be an event of default if Mr. Long Deng resigns, is terminated, or is no longer actively involved in the management of NYM and a replacement reasonably satisfactory to the Lender is not made within Ninety (60) days after such event takes place. The Company violated this loan covenant when Mr. Long Deng, CEO and shareholder of the Company sold an aggregate of 8,294,989 restricted shares to HK Xu Ding Co., Limited on January 23, 2019, representing 51% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company as of December 31, 2018. The Company failed to obtain a written consent for the occurrence of the change of ownership. As a result, effective as of March 1, 2019, interest is being accrued on all loans at the default rate and the monthly principal and interest payment due under the effective date term loan will be $155,872 instead of $142,842.

On May 20, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with KeyBank, pursuant to which KeyBank has agreed to delay the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan agreement based on the existence of the events of defaults for certain period of time. The Forbearance Agreement contained customary forbearance covenants and defined certain events of defaults. Starting from May, 2019, the monthly payment was decreased to $142,842 as originally required per the credit facility agreements.

The Company failed to meet its obligations under the Loan Agreements by the end of the First Forbearance Period. On October 17, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company, Go Fresh 365, Inc. (“Go Fresh”), Mr. Long Deng and Keybank entered into the second forbearance agreement (the “Second Forbearance Agreement”). Pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated as of December 26, 2016, as amended by several joinder agreements and the Second Forbearance Agreement, the Company, certain subsidiaries of NYM, Go Fresh and Mr. Long Deng (collectively, the “Guarantors”, and together with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”) have agreed to guarantee the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement (“Obligations”). KeyBank had agreed to delay the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement based on the existence of certain events of default (the “Specified Events of Default”) until the earlier to occur of: (a) 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the November 29, 2019; and (b) a Forbearance Event of Default.

From Jan to Dec 2020, non-payment of the amount due by the Company was $2,315,869. Also, the Company has defaulted on certain loan covenants. The Company is currently in default of its KeyBank loan agreement and is subject to the continued forbearance of the lender until it consummates the 3rd forbearance agreement as indicated in the following paragraph or obtains alternative sources of financing to settle the amounts owed to KeyBank.

47

On August 6, 2020 the Company received the 3^rd proposed forbearance agreement from KeyBank, which includes the following terms:

● All delinquent regular interest paid at or before settlement.

● August and September required payments will be regular interest amounts.

● Default interest will be deferred until 9/25/2020

● Store valuations will be ordered by the lender.

● Continue to provide weekly cash flow reports.

● Provide quarterly financial statements of NYM, iFresh and newly acquired businesses.

● Monthly financial projections.

● Cost/work detail on the completion of the CT store.

● Pledge of the equity and guarantee of newly acquired businesses.

● File a UCC-1 financing statement for iFresh Inc.

On February 4, 2021 the Company received a proposed limited Waiver and Amendment Agreement from Keybank, which includes the following terms:

● Provides a limited waiver of the specific events of default, the accrued and unpaid interest at the default rate, and the accrued and unpaid reimbursable fees and costs.

● Return control of the deposit accounts of the Loan Parties with the Depository Bank to the Loan Parties.

● Commercing on March 1, 2021, loan parties shall be obligated to pay in equal monthly installments of $50,000. Interest shall accrue on the loans at the stated Rate.

● Maturity date of this agreement on December 31, 2021.

● Limited Guaranty Agreement dated on May 20, 2019 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall terminate pursuant toSection 6.7 upon $2,000,000 paid in immediately available funds owed by Mr. Deng to the Lender under Deng Guaranty.

● iFresh shall pay 50% of any equity contribution to the lender for application to and against the outstanding principal balance of the loans.

● Delivered consolidating statement of income and thirteen week cash flow projection.

● Permit the lender or a third party to conduct a valuation of the loan parties.

● Acquired any new Subsidiary shall obtain the prior written consent, and shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed, or denied.

If agreement cannot be reached, KeyBank is fully prepared to pursue legal remedies. As of the date of this report. The Forbearance Agreement is still under negotiation.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

iFresh is not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of iFresh’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These principles require iFresh’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, cash flow and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets, leases, and income taxes. iFresh bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and the actual results, future financial statements will be affected.

iFresh’s management believes that among their significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of iFresh included in this Form 10-Q, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, iFresh’s management believes these are the most critical to fully understand and evaluate its financial condition and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with Topic 606 revenue is recognized at the time the sale is made, at which time our walk-in customers take immediate possession of the merchandise or delivery is made to our wholesale customers. Payment terms are established for our wholesale customers based on the Company’s pre-established credit requirements. Payment terms vary depending on the customer. Based on the nature of receivables no significant financing components exist. Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. We estimate the reduction to sales and cost of sales for returns based on current sales levels and our historical return experience.

Topic 606 defines a performance obligation as a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is considered the unit of account. The majority of our 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.

49

Inventories

Inventories in our supermarket consist of merchandise purchased for resale, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost method is used for wholesale and retail perishable inventories by assigning costs to each of these items based on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis (net of vendor discounts). Inventories in our hot food, liquor and mask businesses consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished products. Cost includes the cost of raw materials, freight in, direct labor and related production overhead. The cost of these inventories is calculated using the weighted average method.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

iFresh assesses its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. The Company groups and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment at the individual store level, which is the lowest level at which independent identifiable cash flows are available. Factors which may indicate potential impairment include a significant underperformance relative to the historical or projected future operating results of the store or a significant negative industry or economic trend. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If impairment is indicated, a loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset group. The fair value is estimated based on the discounted future cash flows or comparable market values, if available.

Leases

On April 1, 2019 the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02. For all leases that were entered into prior to the effective date of ASC 842, we elected to apply the package of practical expedients. Based on this guidance we did not reassess the following: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. See Note 13 for additional information.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of obligations under operating leases, and obligations under operating leases, non-current on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, current portion of obligations under capital leases, and obligations under capital leases, non-current on our consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Income Taxes

iFresh must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense (benefit) for financial statement purposes. The amount of taxes currently payable or refundable is accrued, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities for a change in income tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce any net deferred tax asset to the amount expected to be realized.

iFresh applies the provisions of the authoritative guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes that was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB. Pursuant to this guidance, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The authoritative guidance also addresses other items related to uncertainty in income taxes, including derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

50

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 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 estimated fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total cost of the 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. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings as a bargain purchase gain.

The Company uses an independent valuations company to 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 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 in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under this ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The changes take effect for public companies for fiscal years starting after December. 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted this ASU and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): The amendments in this Update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amendments broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss, which will be more decision- useful to users of the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for issuers and December 15, 2020 for non-issuers. Early adoption is permitted for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. This update adds optional transition relief for entities to elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis to increase comparability of similar financial assets. The updates should be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified retrospective approach). In November 19, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 to amend the effective date for ASU 2016-13 to be fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods therein. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 (“ASU 2019-12”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to managerial accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard, and does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As of December 31, 2020, we were not subject to material market or interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2020, due to our lack of experience being a public company and lack of professional staff with adequate knowledge of rules and requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings. 

In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to periodic lawsuits, investigations and claims, including, but not limited to, contractual disputes, premises claims, and employment, environmental, health, safety and intellectual property matters. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of any lawsuits, investigations, and claims asserted against the Company, we do not believe any currently pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations other than the following:

Leo J. Motsis, as Trustee of the 140-148 East Berkeley Realty Trust v. Ming’s Supermarket, Inc.

This case relates to a dispute between Ming’s Supermarket, Inc. (“Ming”), the subsidiary of the Company and the landlord of the building located at 140-148 East Berkeley Street, Boston, MA (the “Property”), under a long-term operating lease (“Lease”). Since February 2015, Ming was unable to use the premise of the property due to a structure damage assessed by the Inspectional Services Department of the City of Boston (“ISD”), and stopped paying the rent since April 2015 after the landlord refused to perform structural repairs. The landlord then sued Ming for breach of the Lease and unpaid rent, and Ming counterclaimed for constructive eviction and for damages resulting from the landlord’s breach of its duty to perform structural repairs under the Lease.

The case was tried before a jury in August 2017. The jury awarded Ming judgment against the landlord in the amount of $795,000, plus continuing damages of $2,250 per month until the structural repairs are completed. The court found that the landlord’s actions violated the Massachusetts unfair and deceptive acts and practices statute and therefore doubled the amount of damages to $1,590,000 and further ruled that Ming should also recover costs and attorneys’ fees of approximately $250,000. The result is a judgment in favor of Ming and against the landlord that will total approximately $1.85 million. The judgment requires the landlord to repair the premises and obtain an occupancy permit. The landlord is responsible to Ming for damages in the amount of $2,250 per month until an occupancy permit is issued. The judgment also accrues interest at the rate of 12% per year until paid.

The landlord filed an appeal, the appeal hearing was held in July 12, 2019 and judge concluded that the landlord should be required both to perform the relevant obligations of the lease in the future and to pay damages caused by his previous failure to do so and for any period of delay in completing specific performance. On November 5, 2019, the Appeal Count issued a full decision affirming the judgment was entered and transmitted a rescript of the affirmance of the judgment to the superior count.

The final judgment was entered after rescript on May 7, 2020. On June 29, 2020, the landlord executed the final judgment and finally made the payment of $2,536,142 to Ming. 

Hartford Fire Insurance Company v. New York Mart Group Inc

On November 28, 2018, a lawsuit was filed against New York Mart Group, Inc. by Hartford Fire Insurance Company (“Hartford”), who seeks contractual indemnification from the Company and other defendants relating to certain bonds issued by Hartford in connection with the unsuccessful appeal of state court litigation by iFresh’s codefendant. Hartford alleges that iFresh guaranteed performance of the bonds and therefore seeks to enforce the indemnification terms thereof against iFresh in addition to the other defendants. On June 14, 2019, Hartford filed a motion for summary judgment against iFresh, arguing that Hartford is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. On July 29, 2019, the Court granted judgment against iFresh in a consented amount of $458,497.81for its alleged loss under the bonds for the amount of $424,772, in addition to attorney’s fee, costs, and interest.. The Court is still having a hearing on Hartford’s entitlement to attorneys’ fees/costs. The Company has accrued $500,000 for the potential loss and expense associated with this case.

JD Produce Maspeth LLC v. iFresh, Inc. alt.

On September 16, 2019, the JD Produce Maspeth sought $178,953 for unpaid goods purchased by the Company. The legal process was initiated and interrupted by the outbreak of COVID-19. The Company has recorded the purchase and payable in the financial statements.

Don Rick Associates LLC. v. New York Mart Roosevelt Inc. 

One of the subsidiaries of the Company, New York Mart Roosevelt Inc, has failed to timely make certain payments of rent. The landlord has sued the Company for non-payment. On May 31, 2019, a motion for summary Judgement was filed for unpaid rent in the amount of $102,792 and $14,984 for attorney fees. These amounts were fully accrued as of June 30, 2020, payments will be settled in the future. Both parties have reached agreement and the premise has been surrendered to the landlord on January 22, 2021.

On January 17, 2021, the court entered judgement for the plaintiff in the amount of $43,735, but no to interest and attorney fees.

iFresh, Inc. v. Xiaotai International Investment Inc. et al.

On October 29, 2020, the Company filed a lawsuit against Xiaotai International Investment Inc., Baofeng Pan, Suchun Wu, Zhihao Fu, Qiqi He, Xin Cheng, Haotian Wu, Chu Liu, and Xiaoxia Wang (“Defendants”), in which the Company seeks damages from the Defendants relating to that certain share exchange agreement, dated June 7, 2019 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), entered into by and among the Company, Xiaotai International Investment Inc. and other parties thereto. The Company alleges that the Defendants breached representations and warranties in the Share Exchange Agreement and seeks the damages in the amount of approximately $25.0 million for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses borne by the Company and consequential damages as a result of the breach. The lawsuit is pending in the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of Queens.

SEC Subpoena

On March 6, 2020, the Company announced that it has received a subpoena from the SEC requesting certain information. The subpoena sought various documents and information regarding, among other things, the Company’s financial institution accounts, accounting practices, auditing practices, internal controls, payroll, and auditors. Although the Company is not currently the subject of any enforcement proceedings, the investigation could lead to enforcement proceedings if it is contends that the Company has not complied with securities laws. Friedman LLP, the Company’s former auditor, has also received a subpoena from the SEC relating to the Company. 

Director’s Litigation

On January 12, 2021, Dengrong Zhou commenced an action, pursuant to 8 Del. C.§ 225, in the Delaware Court of Chancery against iFresh directors Long Deng and Mark Fang, along with iFresh, Inc. as a nominal defendant (the “Delaware Directors Litigation”).  In the Delaware Directors Litigation, Dengrong Zhou purports to have secured the written consent of more than 50% of iFresh stockholders and seeks to remove iFresh directors Deng and Fang and replace them with two different individuals, Qiang Ou and Jiandong Xu.  Directors Deng and Fang believe they have meritorious defenses to the Delaware Directors Litigation and intend to defend their right to maintain their director positions.  A trial is scheduled for June 2021.

Other than the risk factor related to the Company that is further discussed in this section, there have been no changes with respect to risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020, under the caption “Risk Factors,” our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in Item 2 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the other information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020. Readers should carefully review those risks, as well as additional risks described in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

On December 23, 2016, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, NYM Holding, Inc. (“NYM”), as borrower, entered into a $25 million senior secured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Key Bank National Association (“Key Bank” or “Lender”). The Credit Agreement provides for (1) a revolving credit of $5,000,000 for making advance and issuance of letter of credit, (2) $15,000,000 of effective date term loan and (3) $5,000,000 of delayed draw term loan. The interest rate is equal to (1) the Lender’s “prime rate” plus 0.95%, or (b) the Adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.95%. Both the termination date of the revolving credit and the maturity date of the term loans are December 23, 2021. The Company will pay a commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the undrawn amount of the Revolving Credit Facility and 0.25% of the unused Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility. $4,950,000 of the revolving credit was used as of December 31, 2018.

$15,000,000 of the term loan was fully funded by the lender in January 2017. The Company is required to make fifty-nine consecutive monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $142,842 starting from February 1, 2017 and a final payment of the then entire unpaid principal balance of the term loan, plus accrued interest on the maturity date. 

A Delayed Draw Term Loan was available and would be advanced on the Delayed Draw Funding date (as defined in the Credit Agreement, which is no later than December 23, 2021. A withdrawal of $5 million under the Delayed Draw Term Loan was made as of March 31, 2019.

The senior secured credit facility is secured by all assets of the Company and is jointly guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries and contains financial and restrictive covenants. The financial covenants require NYM to deliver audited consolidated financial statements within one hundred twenty days after the fiscal year end and to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio not less than 1.1 to 1.0 and senior funded debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio less than 3.0 to 1.0 at the last day of each fiscal quarter, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2017. Except as stated below, the senior secured credit facility is subject to customary events of default. It will be an event of default if Mr. Long Deng resigns, is terminated, or is no longer actively involved in the management of NYM and a replacement reasonably satisfactory to the Lender is not made within sixty (60) days after such event takes place. The Company violated the loan covenant when Mr. Long Deng, CEO and major shareholder of the Company sold an aggregate of 8,294,989 restricted shares to HK Xu Ding Co., Limited on January 23, 2019, representing 51% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company as of December 31, 2018. The Company failed to obtain a written consent for the occurrence of the change of ownership. As a result, effective as of March 1, 2019, interest was accrued on all loans at the default rate and the monthly principal and interest payment due under the effective date term loan will be $155,872 instead of $142,842.

On May 20, 2019, iFresh, NYM (or the “Borrower”), certain subsidiaries of NYM, Mr. Long Deng and KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank” or the “Lender”) entered into the first forbearance agreement (the “First Forbearance Agreement”) with respect to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2016, as amended, pursuant to which KeyBank made available to NYM a revolving credit facility, a term loan facility, and other credit accommodations (the “Loan Agreements”). The Lender has agreed to delay the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreements based on the existence of certain events of default until the earlier to occur of: (a) 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the 90^th day from the date of the First Forbearance Agreement (the “First Forbearance Period”); and (b) a Forbearance Event of Default. Reference is made to the current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 21, 2019.

The Borrower did not meet its obligations under the Loan Agreements by the end of the First Forbearance Period. On October 17, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company, NYM, certain subsidiaries of NYM, Go Fresh 365, Inc. (“Go Fresh”), Mr. Long Deng and KeyBank entered into the second forbearance agreement (the “Second Forbearance Agreement”). Pursuant to certain Guaranty Agreement dated as of December 26, 2016, as amended by several joinder agreements and the Second Forbearance Agreement, the Company, certain subsidiaries of NYM, Go Fresh and Mr. Long Deng (collectively, the “Guarantors”, and together with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”) agreed to guarantee the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement (“Obligations”). Terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Second Forbearance Agreement.

55

From January 2020 to June 2020, non-payment of amount due by the Company was $1,194,878. Also, the Company has failed certain loan covenants. On August 6, 2020, the Company received the third forbearance agreement from KeyBank. If agreement cannot be reached, KeyBank is fully prepared to pursue legal remedies. As of the date of this report, the forbearance agreement is still under negotiation and no subsequent agreement or amendment was entered into.

As of December 31, 2020, the unpaid balance including interest owed to Key Bank is $21,253,639.

Our principal liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. Our ability to fund these needs will depend on its future performance, which will be subject in part to general economic, competitive and other factors beyond its control. In addition, if Keybank accelerates the loan, we may be forced to declare bankruptcy. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to remain a going concern.

Liquidity And Going Concern [Abstract]

Liquidity and Going Concern

2. Liquidity and Going Concern

As reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company had negative working capital of $18.6 million and $28.6 million as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. The Company had equity of $21.3 million and deficit of $2.6 million as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company had operating income of $2.2 million and operating losses of $8.3 million respectively. The Company did not meet certain financial covenants required in its credit agreement with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”). As of December 31, 2020, the Company has outstanding loan facilities of approximately $20 million due to KeyBank. Failure to maintain these loan facilities will have a significant impact on the Company’s operations.

In assessing its liquidity, management monitors and analyzes the Company’s cash on-hand, its ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. iFresh had funded working capital and other capital requirements in the past primarily by equity contributions from shareholders, cash flow from operations, and bank loans. As of December 31, 2020, the Company also has $7 million of advances and receivable from the related parties we intend to collect.  In April and May 2020, the Company received a Paycheck Protection Program loan (“PPP loan”) of approximately $1.77 million. During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company had a net operating income of $2,295,300.

The Company was in default under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020. Specifically, the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain a senior funded debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio for the trailing 12 months period of less than 3.00 to 1.00 at the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, this ratio was greater than 3.00 to 1.00, and the Company was therefore not in compliance with the financial covenants of the KeyBank loan. In addition, the Company violated the loan covenant when Mr. Long Deng, CEO and shareholder of the Company sold an aggregate of 8,294,989 restricted shares to HK Xu Ding Co., Limited, representing 51% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company as of December 31, 2018. The Company failed to obtain a written consent for the occurrence of the change of ownership. KeyBank notified the Company in February that it has not waived the default and reserves all of its rights, power, privileges, and remedies under the Credit Agreement. effective as of March 1, 2019, interest has been accrued on all loans at the default rate.

On May 20, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with KeyBank, pursuant to which KeyBank has agreed to delay the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan agreement based on the existence of the event of share transfer defaults for nine months. The Forbearance Agreement contained customary forbearance covenants and other forbearance covenants and defined certain events of defaults.

On October 9, 2020, Keybank executed a “Deposit Account Control Agreement” and withdrew $674,636 in the deposit account and applied to the outstanding principal of our revolving credit line.

From January to December 2020, non-payment of the amount due by the Company was $2,315,869. Also, the Company is not in compliance with certain loan covenants. On August 6, 2020 the Company received 3rd forbearance agreement from KeyBank, which includes the following terms:  

● All delinquent regular interest paid at or before settlement.

● August and September required payments will be regular interest amounts

● Default interest will be deferred until September 25, 2020

● Store valuations will be ordered by the lender.

● Continue to provide weekly cash flow reports

● Provide quarterly financial statements of NYM Holding and subsidiaries (“NYM”), iFresh and newly acquired businesses.

● Monthly financial projections

● Cost/work detail on the completion of the CT store

● Pledge of the equity and guarantee of newly acquired businesses.

● File a UCC-1 financing statement for iFresh Inc.

On February 4, 2021 the Company received a limited Waiver and Amendment Agreement from Keybank, which includes the following terms:  

● Provides a limited waiver of the specific events of default, the accrued and unpaid interest at the default rate, and the accrued and unpaid reimbursable fees and costs.

● Return control of the deposit accounts of the Loan Parties with the Depository Bank to the Loan Parties.

● Commercing on March 1, 2021, loan parties shall be obligated to pay in equal monthly installments of $50,000. Interest shall accrue on the loans at the stated Rate.

● Maturity date of this agreement on December 31, 2021

● Limited Guaranty Agreement dated on May 20, 2019 subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to Section 6.7 upon $2,000,000 paid in immediately available funds owed by Mr. Deng to the Lender under Deng Guaranty.

● iFresh shall pay 50% of any equity contribution to the lender for application to and against the outstanding principal balance of the loans.

● Delivered consolidating statement of income and thirteen week cash flow projection.

● Permit the lender or a third party to conduct a valuation of the loan parties.  

● Acquired any new Subsidiary shall obtain the prior written consent of Key Bank, and shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed, or denied.

If agreement cannot be reached, KeyBank is fully prepared to pursue legal remedies. As of the date of this filing, the Forbearance Agreement is still under negotiation.

The Company was impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak as it operates in areas under stay-at-home orders since mid-March 2020. The Company had to operate under reduced hours including temporary closure of the stores located in Brooklyn, Manhattan and in Flushing, New York, where there are with high populations and a high risk of infection during the end of March and April peak periods.   The store in Flushing was permanently closed in December, 2020.

The Company’s principal liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. The Company’s ability to fund these needs will depend on its future performance, which will be subject in part to the continued effect of COVID-19, general economic, competitive and other factors beyond its control. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to remain a going concern.

The management has been putting effort in reaching out to external investors and are now in the process of contacting several potential investors. With the fast development of the online shopping and fresh delivery sectors, the management has input in related industries and seeking opportunities to further strengthen its own supply chain and customers’ service quality in the Company’s online shopping platform- online iFresh. The management also filed an S-1 to help raise additional capital for the Company. The management will also apply for the second round of PPP loans.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s critical accounting estimates include, but are not limited to: allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables, inventory valuations, lease assumptions, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of intangible assets, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist primarily of uncollected amounts from customer purchases (primarily from the Company’s two distribution operations and the company’s subsidiaries in China), credit card receivables, and food stamp vouchers, and are presented net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts.   

The Company periodically assesses its accounts receivable for collectability on a specific identification basis. If collectability of an account becomes unlikely, an allowance is recorded for that doubtful account. Once collection efforts have been exhausted, the account receivable is written off against the allowance.

Inventories

Inventories in our supermarkets consist of merchandise purchased for resale, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost method is used for wholesale and retail perishable inventories by assigning costs to each of these items based on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis (net of vendor discounts). Inventories in our hot food, liquor and mask businesses consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished products. Cost includes the cost of raw materials, freight in, direct labor and related production overhead. The cost of these inventories is calculated using the weighted average method.

Any excess of the cost over the net realizable value of each item of inventory is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value of inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated at the selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. Allowances for obsolescence are also assessed based on expiration dates, as applicable, taking into consideration historical and expected future product sales.

Leases

On April 1, 2019 the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02. For all leases that were entered into prior to the effective date of ASC 842, we elected to apply the package of practical expedients. Based on this guidance we did not reassess the following: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the recognition of $65.6 million of operating lease assets and $72.3 operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of April 1, 2019 (See Note 13 for additional information).

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of obligations under operating leases, and obligations under operating leases, non-current on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, current portion of obligations under capital leases, and obligations under capital leases, non-current on our consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date, adjusted by the deferred rent liabilities at the adoption date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S GAAP.

This framework establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and non-financial liabilities are primarily used in the impairment analysis of intangible assets and long-lived assets.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, advances to related parties, accounts payable, deferred revenue and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Based on comparable open market transactions, the fair value of the lines of credit, PPP loans and other liabilities, including current maturities, approximated their carrying value as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively due to their short term nature. The Company’s estimates of the fair value of the line of credit and other liabilities (including current maturities) were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Paycheck Protection Program Loans (PPP) Loans

The Company’s policy is to account for the PPP loan (See Note 11) as debt. The Company will continue to record the loan as debt until either (1) the loan is partially or entirely forgiven and the Company has been legally released, at which point the amount forgiven will be recorded as income or (2) the Company pays off the loan.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with FASB ASU- Topic 606 revenue is recognized at the time the sale is made, at which time our walk-in customers take immediate possession of the merchandise or delivery is made to our wholesale customers. Payment terms are established for our wholesale customers based on the Company’s pre-established credit requirements. Payment terms vary depending on the customer. Based on the nature of receivables, no significant financing components exist. Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. We estimate the reduction to sales and cost of sales for returns based on current sales levels and our historical return experience.

Topic 606 defines a performance obligation as a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is considered the unit of account. The majority of our 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.

We had no material contract assets, contract liabilities, or costs to obtain and fulfil contracts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020. For the nine months 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.

Below is a description of the revenue recognition of the three China subsidiaries:

DL Medical:

The revenue is mainly from the sales of medical protective masks and non-medical daily protective masks. For sales in China, revenues are recognized when invoice is sent and product is delivered. There is no sales discount on the sales amount as of December 31, 2020. For sales to the U.S., after the order is confirmed, the Company will ship out the goods. Revenue is recognized after the goods arrive at the designated port, usually New York or Los Angeles.

RET Wine Co.:

The revenue is mainly from the sales of wine. Revenues are recognized after invoicing and delivering. There is no sales discount on the sales amount.

Jiuxiang:

The revenue is mainly direct from the sale of the Company’s inventory, including daily necessities, tobacco and alcohol, and all revenue is recognized at the sales price. At the same time, in 2020, a part of the Company’s revenues comes from membership card sales, and this part will be recognized at the e-commerce membership card price. Specifically, the revenue can be recognized as described below:

1. Offline sales of regular products. When a client makes payment to the Company, we record as advance payments. Revenues are confirmed and recorded after the Company received confirmation from the client that the delivery of the goods was complete and correct.

2. Online sales of regular products. When the customer places the order and makes the payment, the Company will record as advance payments. After the company ships out the goods, and passes the return period of seven days with no claim of returning the goods, revenues will be confirmed and recorded.

3. Online sales of membership cards (“Gift Bag”). After the customer purchases the Gift Bag, the Company will record as advance payments. Revenues are confirmed after the customer redeems the goods. 

The following table summarizes disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by geographical group:

 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the time of purchase. Cash equivalents also include amounts due from third-party financial institutions for credit and debit card transactions. These receivables typically settle in three days or less.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 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 consideration 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 cost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree, (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings as a bargain purchase gain.

The Company uses an independent valuations company to estimate 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 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 in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill

The Company early adopted ASU No. 2017-04, 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.

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 value may not be recoverable and annually for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as required by ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Others. 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. If, based on a review of qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative analysis. 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.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company has goodwill impairment losses $521,230.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost and 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:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The changes take effect for public companies for fiscal years starting after December. 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted this ASU and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): The amendments in this Update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amendments broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss, which will be more decision- useful to users of the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for issuers and December 15, 2020 for non-issuers. Early adoption is permitted for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. This update adds optional transition relief for entities to elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis to increase comparability of similar financial assets. The updates should be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified retrospective approach). In November 19, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 to amend the effective date for ASU 2016-13 to be fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods therein. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 (“ASU 2019-12”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to managerial accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard, and does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Earnings (loss) per share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts, such as warrants, options, restricted stock based grants and convertible preferred stock, to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Common stock equivalents having an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. When the Company has a loss, no potential dilutive items are included since they would be antidilutive.

Stock dividends or stock splits are accounted for retroactively as if the stock dividends or stock splits occur during the beginning of the earliest period presented and if the stock dividends or stock splits occur after the end of the period but before the release of the financial statements, by considering it effective as of the beginning of each period presented.

Below is a reconciliation of how basic and diluted earnings per share was calculated.

Functional currency and foreign currency translation

An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. Normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements. The functional currency of the Company’s three China subsidiaries is the RMB. The reporting currency of these consolidated financial statements is in US Dollars.

The financial statements of the China subsidiaries, which are prepared using the RMB, are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, the US Dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each reporting period end date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from these transactions are included in operations.

The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation are as follows:

		For the Three Months Ended

Concentration of credit risk

The Company maintains cash balances in ten banks in China. In China, the insurance coverage of each bank is RMB500,000 (approximately USD$76,000). As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately RMB19,420,000 (approximately USD $2,911,000) in excess of the insurance amounts.

The Company maintains cash balances in nine financial institutions in the U.S., which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to $250,000 per institution. From time to time, the Company’s balances may exceed these limits. As of December 31,2020, the Company had approximately $291,000 in excess of the insurance amounts.

The Credit Agreement provides for (1) a revolving credit line of $5,000,000 for making advances and issuance of letter of credit, (2) $15,000,000 of a term loan and (3) $5,000,000 of a delayed draw term loan. The interest rate is equal to (1) the Lender’s “prime rate” plus 0.95%, or (b) the Adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.95%. Both the termination date of the revolving credit and the maturity date of the term loans are December 23, 2021. The Company paid a commitment fee of 0.25% of the undrawn amount of the Revolving Credit Facility and 0.25% of the unused Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility. $4,275,364 of the revolving credit was outstanding as of December 31, 2020.

$15,000,000 of the term loan was fully funded by the lender in January 2017. The Company is required to make fifty-nine consecutive monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $142,842 starting from February 1, 2017 and a final payment of the then entire unpaid principal balance of the term loan, plus accrued interest on the maturity date. On December 23, 2016, the Company used the proceeds from the term loan to pay off the outstanding balance under the Bank of America credit line agreement and HSBC line of credit.

The Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be advanced on the Delayed Draw Funding date, which is no later than December 23, 2021. $1,050,000 loan was advanced on July 13, 2017 and $3,950,000 was advanced on May 9, 2018.

The senior secured credit facility is secured by all assets of the Company and is jointly guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries   and contains financial and restrictive covenants. The financial covenants require NYM Holding Inc and its subsidiaries to deliver audited consolidated financial statements within one hundred twenty days after each fiscal year end and to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio not less than 1.1 to 1.0 and senior funded debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratio less than 3.0 to 1.0 at the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, these ratios were not met, and the Company was therefore not in compliance with the financial covenants of the KeyBank loan. Except as stated below, the senior secured credit facility is subject to customary events of default. It will be an event of default if Mr. Long Deng resigns, is terminated,   or is no longer actively involved in the management of NYM and a replacement reasonably satisfactory to the Lender is not made within Sixty (60)   days after such event takes place. The Company violated the loan covenant when Mr. Long Deng, CEO and shareholder of the Company sold an aggregate of 8,294,989 restricted shares to HK Xu Ding Co., Limited on January 23, 2019, representing 51% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company as of December 31, 2018. The Company failed to obtain a written consent for the change of ownership. As a result, effective as of March 1, 2019, interest was accrued on all loans at the 3% default rate   and the monthly principal and interest payment due under the effective date term loan will be $155,872 instead of $142,842.

On May 20, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with KeyBank, pursuant to which KeyBank agreed to delay the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan agreement based on the existence of the share transfer default for 6 months. The Forbearance Agreement contained customary forbearance covenants and defined certain events of defaults. Starting from May, 2019, the monthly payment decreased to $142,842 as originally required per the credit facility agreements.

The Company failed to meet its obligations under the Loan Agreements by the end of the First Forbearance Period. On October 17, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the Company, Go Fresh 365, Inc. (“Go Fresh”), Mr. Long Deng and Keybank entered into the second forbearance agreement (the “Second Forbearance Agreement”). Pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement dated as of December 26, 2016, as amended by several joinder agreements and the Second Forbearance Agreement, the Company, certain subsidiaries of NYM Holding, Go Fresh and Mr. Long Deng (collectively, the “Guarantors”, and together with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”) have agreed to guarantee the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement (“Obligations”). KeyBank has agreed to delay the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement based on the existence of certain events of default (the “Specified Events of Default”) until the earlier to occur of: (a) 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the November 29, 2019; and (b) a Forbearance Event of Default.

On October 9, 2020, Keybank executed a “Deposit Account Control Agreement” remitting any funds on deposit in the Deposit Account to the Secured Party. There was $674,636 in the listed accounts which was withdrawn by Key Bank and applied to the principal of a revolving credit line.

From Jan to December 2020, non-payment of the amount due by the Company was $2,315,869. Also, the Company has failed to meet certain loan covenants. On August 6, 2020 the Company received the 3^rd forbearance agreement from KeyBank, which included the following terms:

● All delinquent regular interest paid at or before settlement.

● August and September required payments will be at the regular interest amounts.

● Default interest will be deferred until 9/25/2020

● Store valuations will be ordered by the lender.

● Continue to provide weekly cash flow reports.

● Provide quarterly financial statements of NYM Holding and subsidiaries, iFresh and newly acquired businesses.

● Monthly financial projections.

● Cost/work detail on the completion of the CT store.

● Pledge of the equity and guarantee of newly acquired businesses.

● File a UCC-1 financing statement for iFresh Inc.

On February 4, 2021   the Company received proposed limited Waiver and Amendment Agreement from Keybank, which included the following terms:

● Provides a limited waiver of the specific events of default, the accrued and unpaid interest at the default rate, and the accrued and unpaid reimbursable fees and costs.

● Return control of the deposit accounts of the Loan Parties with the Depository Bank to the Loan Parties.

● Commencing on March 1, 2021, loan parties shall be obligated to pay in equal monthly instalments of $50,000. Interest shall accrue on the loans at the stated Rate.

● Maturity date of this agreement on December 31, 2021.

● Limited Guaranty Agreement dated on May 20, 2019 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall terminate pursuant to Section 6.7 upon $2,000,000 paid in immediately available funds owed by Mr. Deng to the Lender under Deng Guaranty.

● iFresh shall pay 50% of any equity contribution to the lender for application to and against the outstanding principal balance of the loans.

● Delivery of consolidating statement of income and thirteen week cash flow projection.

● Permit the lender or a third party to conduct a valuation of the loan parties.

● Acquired any new Subsidiary shall obtain the prior written consent, and shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed, or denied.

If agreement cannot be reached, KeyBank is fully prepared to pursue legal remedies. As of the date of this report, the Forbearance Agreement  is still under negotiation.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting

14. 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 CODM for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management, including the CODM, reviews operating results by the revenue of different products or services. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined that it has four operating segments as defined by ASC 280, consisting of wholesale, retail, liquor business and medical product business for the nine months ended December 31, 2020. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company determined it has two operation segments consisting of wholesale and retail.

The primary financial measures used by the Company to evaluate performance of individual operating segments are sales and income (loss) before income tax provision.

The following table presents summary information by segment for the nine months ended December 31, respectively:

Shareholder's Equity

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

Shareholder's Equity

15. Shareholder’s Equity

On October 19, 2018, the Company and certain institutional investors entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to such investors an aggregate of 1,275,000 shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) in a registered direct offering and warrants to purchase up to approximately 1,170,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in a concurrent private placement, for gross proceeds of approximately $2.55 million (the “Financing”). The warrants were exercisable immediately following the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $2.25. The warrants will expire 5 years from the earlier of the date on which the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or may be exercised on a cashless basis and be immediately sold pursuant to Rule 144. The purchase price for each share of Common Stock and the corresponding warrant was $2.00. Each warrant is subject to anti-dilution provisions that require adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of the warrant, or to the exercise price of such shares, or both, to reflect stock dividends and splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro-rata distributions, and certain fundamental transactions.  

Management determined that these warrants are equity instruments because the warrants are both a) indexed to its own stock; and b) classified in stockholders’ equity. The warrants were recorded at their fair value on the date of grant as a component of stockholders’ equity. On June 5, 2019, the Company agreed to issue to the Holders an aggregate of 1,170,000 shares (“Exchange Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and warrant to purchase an aggregate of 1,170,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Warrants”) as the negotiated purchase price for the Existing Warrants based on the Black Scholes Value as a result of a certain transaction which was deemed as a Fundamental Transaction as defined in the purchase agreement. On March 23, 2020, 585,000 warrants were cashless exercised by the issuance of 287,049 shares of common stock.

On December 11, 2019, iFresh Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) between Mr. Deng and the Company, pursuant to which the Mr. Deng agreed to convert debt owed to him by the Company into 1,000 preferred shares of the Company. Upon receiving stockholder approval for the conversion, the 1,000 shares of preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock.

On January 13, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation creating the class of Preferred Stock required by the Conversion Agreement, and $3,500,000 of capital Mr. Deng contributed to the Company were converted into 1,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock has no voting rights, no dividend, no redemption right and will convert automatically into 9,210,526 shares of the   Company’s common stock once the conversion is approved by the Company’s stockholders. In the event of the liquidation of the Company, the Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference equal to $3,500,000 over the Company’s common stock.

On March 25, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with two third party individuals, Dengrong Zhou and Qiang Ou (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Investors agreed to purchase 1,783,167 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for $2,500,000. Subsequently on April 9, 2020, these shares were issued and the transaction was closed.

In April 2020, the Company issued 4,752,372 shares of the Company’s common stock and 1,000 shares of the Company’s series B convertible preferred stock, which will be converted to 3,834,796 shares of the Company’s common stock to acquire RET and DL Medical. Upon approval by the purchaser’s shareholders, the preferred stock will be converted to common stock. The Series B Preferred will rank on parity with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company. See Note 5 for the details of the transactions.

In August 2020, for the acquisition of Jiuxiang, the Company issued 5,036,298 shares of the Company’s common stock and 1,000 shares of the Company’s series C convertible preferred stock, which will convert automatically into 1,916,781 shares of the Company’s common stock once the conversion is approved by the Company’s stockholders.  

On January 6, 2021, iFresh, Inc. (the “Company”) issued 6,043,054 shares of common stock of the Company to Mr. Long Deng in exchange for the cancellation of 656 of Mr. Deng’s currently outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

16. Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled. iFresh is a Delaware holding company that is subject to U.S. income tax.

iFresh is taxed as a corporation for income tax purposes and as a result of the “Contribution Agreement” entered into on December 31, 2014 iFresh has elected to file a consolidated federal income tax return with its eleven subsidiaries. iFresh and the shareholders of the eleven entities, as parties to the Contribution Agreement, entered into a tax-free transaction under Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 whereby the eleven entities became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. As a result of the tax-free transaction and the creation of a consolidated group, the subsidiaries are required to adopt the tax year-end of its parent, iFresh. iFresh was incorporated on July 21, 2016 and has adopted a tax-year end of March 31.

RET, DL Medical and Jiuxiang are incorporated in the PRC and subject to PRC income tax which is computed according to the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC. Under the Corporate Income Tax Law of PRC, the current corporate income tax rate of 25% is applicable to all companies, including both domestic and foreign-invested companies.

Certain of the subsidiaries have incurred net operating losses (“NOL”) in tax years ending prior to the Contribution Agreement. The U.S. net operating losses are subject to the Separate Return Limitation Year (“SRLY”) rules which limit the utilization of the losses to the subsidiaries who generated the losses. The SRLY losses are not available to offset taxable income generated by members of the consolidated group.

Based upon management’s assessment of all available evidence, the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets, primarily for certain of the subsidiaries SRLY NOL carry-forwards will not be realizable; and therefore, a full valuation allowance is established for SRLY NOL carry-forwards. Pursuant to The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act, NOLs from the 2018, 2019, and 2020 tax years can be carried back to the previous five tax years (beginning with the earliest year first) and suspends the 80% of taxable income limitation through the 2020 tax year. The NOL carry-backs can result in an immediate refund of taxes paid in prior years. The Company has elected to carry back $9,166,320 in NOL under the CARES Act. The Company plans to file by 3/31/2021, resulting in a tax receivable of $3,116,549.

18. Litigation

The Company is involved with claims and litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business and uses various methods to resolve these matters in a manner that the Company believes best serves the interests of its stakeholders. These matters have not resulted in any material losses to date.

Leo J. Motsis, as Trustee of the 140-148 East Berkeley Realty Trust v. Ming’s  Supermarket, Inc.

This case relates to a dispute between Ming’s Supermarket, Inc. (“Ming”), a subsidiary of the Company and the landlord of the building located at 140-148 East Berkeley Street, Boston, MA (the “Property”), under a long-term operating lease (“Lease”). Since February 2015, Ming was unable to use the property due to structural damage assessed by the Inspection Services Department of the City of Boston (“ISD”), and stopped paying the rent since April 2015 after the landlord refused to make the structural repairs. The landlord then sued Ming for breach of the Lease and unpaid rent, and Ming counterclaimed for constructive eviction and for damages resulting from the landlord’s breach of its duty to make the structural repairs under the Lease.

The case was tried before a jury in August 2017. The jury awarded Ming a judgment against the landlord in the amount of $795,000, plus continuing damages of $2,250 per month until the structural repairs are completed. The court found that the landlord’s actions violated the Massachusetts unfair and deceptive acts and practices statute and therefore doubled the amount of damages to $1,590,000 and further ruled that Ming should also recover costs and attorneys’ fees of approximately $250,000. The result is a judgment in favor of Ming and against the landlord that will total approximately $1.85 million. The judgment requires the landlord to repair the premises and obtain an occupancy permit. The landlord is responsible to Ming for damages in the amount of $2,250 per month until an occupancy permit is issued. The judgment also accrues interest at the rate of 12% per year until paid.

The landlord filed an appeal, the appeal hearing was held on July 12, 2019 and the judge concluded that the landlord should be required both to perform the relevant obligations of the lease in the future and to pay damages caused by his previous failure to do so and for any period of delay in completing his specific performance. On November 5, 2019, the Appeals Court issued a full decision affirming the judgment was entered and transmitted a rescript of the affirmance of the judgment to the superior count.

The final judgment was entered after rescript on May 7, 2020. On June 29, 2020, the landlord executed the final judgment and made the payment of $2,536,142 to Ming, which is included in other income.

On February 4, 2021 the Company received a proposed limited Waiver and Amendment Agreement from Keybank. It is being reviewed by the company, please refer to Note 11 for key terms.

Covid 19

Under the potential resurgence of Covid-19 in the winter of 2020, the Company may experience loss in sales in its retail locations. Since the stores are mainly located in New York and Florida, which are greatly impacted by the pandemic, related government departments such as DOH and CDC have directly given safety plans and guidelines to the Company. Regulations including social distancing, controlling in-store customer traffic, and curfew orders have impacted the sales in stores significantly, and such impact will possibly continue. On the other side, the supply chain as well as the wholesale section are also expecting potential challenges caused by Covid-19. The Company’s online sales may increase due to customers ordering grocery delivery instead of shopping in stores. Sales decreased by 10% in January 2021, compared to sales in January 2020.

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)

9 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2020

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Estimates

Significant Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s critical accounting estimates include, but are not limited to: allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables, inventory valuations, lease assumptions, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of intangible assets, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist primarily of uncollected amounts from customer purchases (primarily from the Company’s two distribution operations and the company’s subsidiaries in China), credit card receivables, and food stamp vouchers, and are presented net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts.   

The Company periodically assesses its accounts receivable for collectability on a specific identification basis. If collectability of an account becomes unlikely, an allowance is recorded for that doubtful account. Once collection efforts have been exhausted, the account receivable is written off against the allowance.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories in our supermarkets consist of merchandise purchased for resale, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost method is used for wholesale and retail perishable inventories by assigning costs to each of these items based on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis (net of vendor discounts). Inventories in our hot food, liquor and mask businesses consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished products. Cost includes the cost of raw materials, freight in, direct labor and related production overhead. The cost of these inventories is calculated using the weighted average method.

Any excess of the cost over the net realizable value of each item of inventory is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value of inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated at the selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. Allowances for obsolescence are also assessed based on expiration dates, as applicable, taking into consideration historical and expected future product sales.

Leases

Leases

On April 1, 2019 the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02. For all leases that were entered into prior to the effective date of ASC 842, we elected to apply the package of practical expedients. Based on this guidance we did not reassess the following: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the recognition of $65.6 million of operating lease assets and $72.3 operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of April 1, 2019 (See Note 13 for additional information).

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of obligations under operating leases, and obligations under operating leases, non-current on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net, current portion of obligations under capital leases, and obligations under capital leases, non-current on our consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date, adjusted by the deferred rent liabilities at the adoption date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. The Company’s terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S GAAP.

This framework establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and non-financial liabilities are primarily used in the impairment analysis of intangible assets and long-lived assets.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, advances to related parties, accounts payable, deferred revenue and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Based on comparable open market transactions, the fair value of the lines of credit, PPP loans and other liabilities, including current maturities, approximated their carrying value as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively due to their short term nature. The Company’s estimates of the fair value of the line of credit and other liabilities (including current maturities) were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Paycheck Protection Program Loans (PPP) Loans

Paycheck Protection Program Loans (PPP) Loans

The Company’s policy is to account for the PPP loan (See Note 11) as debt. The Company will continue to record the loan as debt until either (1) the loan is partially or entirely forgiven and the Company has been legally released, at which point the amount forgiven will be recorded as income or (2) the Company pays off the loan.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with FASB ASU- Topic 606 revenue is recognized at the time the sale is made, at which time our walk-in customers take immediate possession of the merchandise or delivery is made to our wholesale customers. Payment terms are established for our wholesale customers based on the Company’s pre-established credit requirements. Payment terms vary depending on the customer. Based on the nature of receivables, no significant financing components exist. Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. We estimate the reduction to sales and cost of sales for returns based on current sales levels and our historical return experience.

Topic 606 defines a performance obligation as a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is considered the unit of account. The majority of our 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.

We had no material contract assets, contract liabilities, or costs to obtain and fulfil contracts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020. For the nine months 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.

Below is a description of the revenue recognition of the three China subsidiaries:

DL Medical:

The revenue is mainly from the sales of medical protective masks and non-medical daily protective masks. For sales in China, revenues are recognized when invoice is sent and product is delivered. There is no sales discount on the sales amount as of December 31, 2020. For sales to the U.S., after the order is confirmed, the Company will ship out the goods. Revenue is recognized after the goods arrive at the designated port, usually New York or Los Angeles.

RET Wine Co.:

The revenue is mainly from the sales of wine. Revenues are recognized after invoicing and delivering. There is no sales discount on the sales amount.

Jiuxiang:

The revenue is mainly direct from the sale of the Company’s inventory, including daily necessities, tobacco and alcohol, and all revenue is recognized at the sales price. At the same time, in 2020, a part of the Company’s revenues comes from membership card sales, and this part will be recognized at the e-commerce membership card price. Specifically, the revenue can be recognized as described below:

1. Offline sales of regular products. When a client makes payment to the Company, we record as advance payments. Revenues are confirmed and recorded after the Company received confirmation from the client that the delivery of the goods was complete and correct.

2. Online sales of regular products. When the customer places the order and makes the payment, the Company will record as advance payments. After the company ships out the goods, and passes the return period of seven days with no claim of returning the goods, revenues will be confirmed and recorded.

3. Online sales of membership cards (“Gift Bag”). After the customer purchases the Gift Bag, the Company will record as advance payments. Revenues are confirmed after the customer redeems the goods. 

The following table summarizes disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by geographical group:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the time of purchase. Cash equivalents also include amounts due from third-party financial institutions for credit and debit card transactions. These receivables typically settle in three days or less.

Business Combinations

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 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 consideration 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 cost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree, (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings as a bargain purchase gain.

The Company uses an independent valuations company to estimate 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 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 in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill

Goodwill

The Company early adopted ASU No. 2017-04, 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.

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 value may not be recoverable and annually for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as required by ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Others. 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. If, based on a review of qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative analysis. 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.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company has goodwill impairment losses $521,230.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost and 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:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The changes take effect for public companies for fiscal years starting after December. 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted this ASU and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): The amendments in this Update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The amendments broaden the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. The use of forecasted information incorporates more timely information in the estimate of expected credit loss, which will be more decision- useful to users of the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for issuers and December 15, 2020 for non-issuers. Early adoption is permitted for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. This update adds optional transition relief for entities to elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis to increase comparability of similar financial assets. The updates should be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified retrospective approach). In November 19, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 to amend the effective date for ASU 2016-13 to be fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods therein. The Company does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 (“ASU 2019-12”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to managerial accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard, and does not believe this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Earnings (loss) per share

Earnings (loss) per share

The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts, such as warrants, options, restricted stock based grants and convertible preferred stock, to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Common stock equivalents having an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.

Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. When the Company has a loss, no potential dilutive items are included since they would be antidilutive.

Stock dividends or stock splits are accounted for retroactively as if the stock dividends or stock splits occur during the beginning of the earliest period presented and if the stock dividends or stock splits occur after the end of the period but before the release of the financial statements, by considering it effective as of the beginning of each period presented.

Below is a reconciliation of how basic and diluted earnings per share was calculated.

Functional currency and foreign currency translation

Functional currency and foreign currency translation

An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. Normally that is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements. The functional currency of the Company’s three China subsidiaries is the RMB. The reporting currency of these consolidated financial statements is in US Dollars.

The financial statements of the China subsidiaries, which are prepared using the RMB, are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, the US Dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at each reporting period end date. Revenue and expenses are translated using average rates prevailing during each reporting period, and shareholders’ equity is translated at historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from these transactions are included in operations.

The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation are as follows:

		For the Three Months Ended

Litigation Disclosure [Abstract]
Total judgment damage compensation, description							The jury awarded Ming a judgment against the landlord in the amount of $795,000, plus continuing damages of $2,250 per month until the structural repairs are completed. The court found that the landlord’s actions violated the Massachusetts unfair and deceptive acts and practices statute and therefore doubled the amount of damages to $1,590,000 and further ruled that Ming should also recover costs and attorneys’ fees of approximately $250,000. The result is a judgment in favor of Ming and against the landlord that will total approximately $1.85 million. The judgment requires the landlord to repair the premises and obtain an occupancy permit. The landlord is responsible to Ming for damages in the amount of $2,250 per month until an occupancy permit is issued. The judgment also accrues interest at the rate of 12% per year until paid.

Description of appeal					a lawsuit was filed against New York Mart Group, Inc. by Hartford Fire Insurance Company (“Hartford”), who seeks contractual indemnification from the Company and other defendants relating to certain supersedeas bonds issued by Hartford in connection with the unsuccessful appeal of state court litigation by iFresh’s codefendant. Hartford alleges that iFresh guaranteed performance of the bonds and therefore seeks to enforce the indemnification terms thereof against iFresh in addition to the other defendants. On June 14, 2019, Hartford filed a motion for summary judgment against iFresh, arguing that Hartford is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. On July 29, 2019, the Court granted judgment against iFresh in a consented amount of $458,498 for the alleged loss. The Court is still having a hearing on Hartford’s entitlement to attorneys’ fees/costs. The Company has accrued $500,000 for the potential loss and expense associated with this case on December 31, 2018.
