Organization and nature of business |
Organization and nature of business | Note 1 — Organization and nature of business Farmmi, Inc. (“FAMI”) is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on July 28, 2015. FAMI’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) Ms. Yefang Zhang, as the sole shareholder of FarmNet Limited which is the sole shareholder of FAMI, and her husband Mr. Zhengyu Wang, a director of FAMI, are the ultimate shareholders of the Company (“Controlling Shareholders”). FAMI owns 100% equity interest of Farmmi International Limited (“Farmmi International”), a Hong Kong company, who in turn owns 100% equity interest of Zhejiang Farmmi Agricultural Technology Group Co., Ltd. (“Farmmi Agricultural”) (formerly known as Hangzhou Suyuan Agriculture Technology Co., Ltd., “Suyuan Agriculture”), a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”), through Farmmi (Hangzhou) Enterprise Management Co., Ltd. (“Farmmi Enterprise”) and Lishui Farmmi Technology Co., Ltd. (“Farmmi Technology”), two wholly foreign-owned entities (“WFOE”) formed by Farmmi International under the laws of China. Farmmi Enterprise and Farmmi Technology own 31.7% and 68.3% of Farmmi Agricultural, respectively. Farmmi Agricultural owns 96.15% equity interest of Zhejiang Forest Food Co., Ltd. (“Forest Food”) and 100% equity interest of Zhejiang FLS Mushroom Co., Ltd. (“FLS Mushroom”). On September 18, 2016, Farmmi Agricultural entered into a series of contractual agreements with Zhengyu Wang, the owner of Hangzhou Nongyuan Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Nongyuan Network”) and Nongyuan Network. Nongyuan Network is a company incorporated on December 8, 2015 that focuses on the development of network marketing and provides a network platform for sales of agriculture products. These agreements include an Exclusive Management Consulting and Technology Agreement, an Equity Pledge Agreement, an Exclusive Call Option Agreement, a Proxy Agreement and a Power of Attorney (collectively, the “Original VIE Agreements”). The Original VIE Agreements empowered Farmmi Agricultural to exercise management control over the activities that most significantly impanct the operation results of Nongyuan Network, and obligated Farmmi Agricultural to absorb a majority of the risk of loss from Nongyuan Network’s activities and entitled Farmmi Agricultural to receive a majority of their residual returns. In essence, Farmmi Agricultural and the Company had gained effective control over Nongyuan Network. On December 4, 2019, Zhengyu Wang transferred his 100% shares of Nongyuan Network to his daughter Xinyang Wang. As a result, Xinyang Wang holds 100% shares of Nongyuan Network. On December 10, 2019, Xinyang Wang, as the new shareholder of Nongyuan Network, signed a series of VIE agreements (the “Xinyang Wang VIE Agreements”) with Nongyuan Network and Farmmi Agricultural. On May 15, 2020, the following agreements were signed with the effective date of December 10, 2019:
| (1) | Zhengyu Wang, Nongyuan Network and Farmmi Agricultural signed a termination agreement to confirm that the Original VIE Agreements have been terminated because Zhengyu Wang is no longer the shareholder of Nongyuan Network;
| (2) | Zhengyu Wang, Dehong Zhang (the legal representative of Nongyuan Network), Xinyang Wang, Nongyuan Network and Farmmi Agricultural signed a joint statement to confirm that the board of directors of the Company has the ultimate authority over the matters of the VIE entity Nongyuan Network.
FAMI believes that Xinyang Wang VIE Agreements enable Farmmi Agricultural and FAMI to keep the effective control over Nongyuan Network. Therefore, FAMI believes that Nongyuan Network should be considered as Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 Consolidation. Accordingly, the accounts of this entity are consolidated with those of Farmmi Agricultural. Since FAMI and its subsidiaries are effectively controlled by the same Controlling Shareholders, they are considered under common control. The consolidation of FAMI and its subsidiaries has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. On December 26, 2017, Zhejiang Farmmi Food Co., Ltd. (“Farmmi Food”) was established under the laws of the PRC. Initially Farmmi Food was wholly owned by Farmmi Technology.
