ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
 
Organization and General
 
HF Foods Group Inc. (“HF Group”, or the “Company”) markets and distributes fresh produces, frozen and dry food, and non- food products to primarily Asian restaurants and other foodservice customers throughout the Southeast, Pacific and Mountain West regions region of the United States.
 
The Company was originally incorporated in Delaware on
May 19, 2016
as a special purpose acquisition company under the name Atlantic Acquisition Corp. (“Atlantic”), in order to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with
one
or more businesses or entities.
 
Reorganization of HF Holding
 
HF Group Holding Corporation (“HF Holding”) was incorporated in the State of North Carolina on
October 11, 2017.
Effective
January 1, 2018,
HF Holding entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby the controlling shareholders of the following
11
entities contributed their respective stocks to HF Holding in exchange for all of HF Holding’s outstanding shares. Upon completion of the share exchanges, these entities became either wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries of HF Holding.
 
 
Han Feng, Inc. (“Han Feng”)
 
 
Truse Trucking, Inc. (“TT”)
 
 
Morning First Delivery, Inc. (“MFD”)
 
 
R&N Holdings, LLC (“R&N Holdings”)
 
 
R&N Lexington, LLC (“R&N Lexington”)
 
 
Kirnsway Manufacturing Inc. (“Kirnsway”)

New Southern Food Distributors, Inc. (“NSF”)
 
 
B&B Trucking Services, Inc. (“BB”)
 
 
Kirnland Food Distribution, Inc. (“Kirnland”)

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)

the transaction consummated through the Agreement has been accounted for as a transaction among entities under common control since the same shareholders controlled all these
11
entities prior to the execution of the Agreement. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared to report results of operations for the period in which the transfer occurred as though the transfer of net assets or exchange of equity interests had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, in this case
January 1, 2018.
Results of operations for the period presented comprise those of the previously separate entities combined from the beginning of the period to the end of the period. By eliminating the effects of intra-entity transactions in determining the results of operations for the period before the combination, those results will be on substantially the same basis as the results of operations for the period after the date of combination. The effects of intra-entity transactions on current assets, current liabilities, revenue, and cost of sales for periods presented and on retained earnings at the beginning of the periods presented are eliminated to the extent possible. Furthermore, ASC

when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests should initially recognize the assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of the transfer. If the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities transferred differ from the historical cost of the parent of the entities under common control, then the financial statements of the receiving entity should reflect the transferred assets and liabilities at the historical cost of the parent of the entities under common control. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the assets and liabilities transferred from the above entities at their carrying amount.

Reverse Acquisition of HF Holding
 
Effective
August 22, 2018,
Atlantic consummated the transactions contemplated by a merger agreement (the “Atlantic Merger Agreement”), dated as of
March 28, 2018,
by and among Atlantic, HF Group Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware subsidiary formed by Atlantic, HF Holding, the stockholders of HF Holding, and Zhou Min Ni, as representative of the stockholders of HF Holding. Pursuant to the Atlantic Merger Agreement, HF Holding merged with HF Merger Sub and HF Holding became the surviving entity (the “Atlantic Merger”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlantic (the “Atlantic Acquisition”). Additionally, upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Atlantic Merger Agreement (the “Atlantic Closing”), (i) the stockholders of HF Holding became the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock of Atlantic, and (ii) Atlantic changed its name to HF Foods Group Inc. (Collectively, these transactions are referred to as the “Atlantic Transactions”).
 
At closing on
August 22, 2018,
Atlantic issued the HF Holding stockholders an aggregate of
19,969,831
shares of its common stock, equal to approximately
88.5%
of the aggregate issued and outstanding shares of Atlantic’s common stock. The pre- Transaction stockholders of Atlantic owned the remaining
11.5%
of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the combined entity.
 
Following the consummation of the Atlantic Transactions on
August 22, 2018,
there were
22,167,486
shares of common stock issued and outstanding, consisting of (i)
19,969,831
shares issued to HF Holding’s stockholders pursuant to the Atlantic Merger Agreement, (ii)
400,000
shares redeemed by
one
of Atlantic’s shareholders in conjunction with the Atlantic Transactions, (iii)
10,000
restricted shares issued to
one
of Atlantic’s shareholders in conjunction with the Atlantic Transactions, and (iv)
2,587,655
shares originally issued to the pre-Transactions stockholders of Atlantic.
 
The Atlantic Acquisition was treated as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). For accounting purposes, HF Holding was considered to be acquiring Atlantic in this transaction. Therefore, the aggregate consideration paid in connection with the business combination was allocated to Atlantic’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair market values. The assets and liabilities and results of operations of Atlantic were consolidated into the results of operations of HF Holding as of the completion of the business combination.
 
Business Combination with B&R Global
 
Effective
November 4, 2019,
HF Group consummated the transactions contemplated by a merger agreement (the “B&R Merger Agreement”), dated as of
June 21, 2019,
by and among the Company, B&R Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), B&R Global, the stockholders of B&R Global (the ”B&R Global Stockholders”), and Xiao Mou Zhang, as representative of the stockholders (the “Business Combination”). Upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the B&R Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), Merger Sub merged with and into B&R Global, resulting in B&R Global becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of HF Group. HF Group acquired
100%
of the controlling interest of B&R Global, in exchange for
30,700,000
shares of HF Group Common Stock. The aggregate fair value of the consideration paid by HF Group in the business combination is approximately
$576,699,494
and is based on the closing share price of the Company’s common stock at the date of Closing.
 
Founded in
1999,
B&R Global supplies approximately
6,800
restaurants across
11
Western states, and combined with HF Group, creates what we believe is the largest food distributors to Asian restaurants in the United States. The combined entity now has
14
distribution centers strategically located in
nine
states across the East and West Coasts of the United States and a fleet of over
340
refrigerated vehicles. With
960
employees supported by
two
call centers in China, HF Group now serves over
10,000
restaurants in
21
states and provides round-the-clock sales and service support to its customers, who mainly converse in Mandarin or Chinese dialects.
