Note 1 — Organization and nature of business (continued)

On September 18, 2016, Farmmi Agricultural entered into a series of contractual agreements with Zhengyu Wang, the then sole-owner of Nongyuan Network. 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 impact the operation results of Nongyuan Network, 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 100% of his shares of Nongyuan Network to his daughter Xinyang Wang. As a result, Xinyang Wang started to hold 100% of the ownership interest of Nongyuan Network. On December 10, 2019, Xinyang Wang, as the new sole owner 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 had been terminated because Zhengyu Wang was 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 had the ultimate authority over the matters of the VIE (defined below), Nongyuan Network.

FAMI believes that Xinyang Wang VIE Agreements enable Farmmi Agricultural and FAMI to keep effective control over Nongyuan Network, and as a result Nongyuan Network should be considered as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 Consolidation. Accordingly, the accounts of Nongyuan Network are consolidated with those of Farmmi Agricultural.
