Acquisition of subsidiary

19. Acquisition of subsidiary

On June 30, 2022, the Company purchased 100% equity interest in GF Supermarket of MP, Inc (“Maison Monterey Park”), the legal entity holding a supermarket in Monterey Park. Mrs. Grace Xu (spouse of Mr. John Xu, the Company’s chief executive officer) is the selling shareholder of GF Supermarket of MP Inc. with 49% ownership percentage. Another selling shareholder of GF Supermarket of MP Inc. is DNL Management Inc with 51% ownership percentage, who is not a related party of the Company. The purchase consideration was $1.5 million. On February 21, 2023, the Company and the selling shareholders renegotiated and entered into an Amended Stock Purchase Agreement with an effective date on October 31, 2022, to amend the purchase price to $2.5 million, which both parties believed reflected the true fair value of Maison Monterey Park.
