iFRESH INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Description of Business

Organization and General

iFresh (herein referred to collectively with its subsidiaries as the "Company") 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.

On June 7, 2019, the Company, entered into certain Share Exchange Agreement ("Exchange Agreement") with Xiaotai International Investment Inc. ("Xiaotai"), a Cayman Island Company, and certain shareholders of Xiaotai (collectively with Xiaotai, "Seller"), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, the Company will acquire all of the outstanding issued shares and other equity interests in Xiaotai from certain shareholders of Xiaotai (such transactions, collectively, the "Acquisition"). The Company agreed to issue to the sellers an aggregate of 254,813,383 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001.

On the same day, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary NYM Holding Inc. entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Go Fresh 365 Inc., ("Go Fresh") a Florida company solely owned by Mr. Long Deng, IFMK's Chief Executive Officer. The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale of 100% of the equity interest in NYM to Go Fresh, in exchange for cash consideration of $9.1 million (the "Spin-off"). The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement would take place contemporaneously with the closing of the Acquisition. It is anticipated that, following completion of the Spin-off, Go Fresh will receive 100% of the equity interest of NYM, and that the Company's business upon completion of the Acquisition and the Spin-off will be that of Xiaotai and its subsidiaries. Closing of the acquisition had been pending subject to regulatory approval by NASDAQ.

In November 5, 2019, Zhejiang Xiaotai is alleged to have conducted illegal fundraising in China and several executives of Xiaotai are currently detained and held in custody by the local police. iFresh issued written notice to Xiaotai International and Xiaotai Shareholders to terminate the Exchange Agreement effective immediately. Meanwhile, the Spin-off has been cancelled.

2. Liquidity and Going Concern

As reflected in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had operating losses for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and in fiscal year 2019 and had negative working capital of $26.2 million and $21.6 million as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The Company had deficiency of $1.0 million and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019. The Company did not meet certain financial covenants required in the credit agreement with Keybank National Association ("Keybank"). As of December 31, 2019, the Company has outstanding loan facilities of approximately $20.1 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, 2019, the Company also has $4.8 million of advances and receivable from the related parties we intend to collect.

5

Although the Company has been timely repaying the KeyBank facility in accordance with its terms, the Company was in default under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019. 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 month period of less than 3.00 to 1.00 at the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, 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 major 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 has 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 was 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 events of shares transfer defaults for certain period of time. The Forbearance Agreement contains customary forbearance covenants and other 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 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") have agreed to guarantee the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement ("Obligations"). Key Bank 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. This second forbearance period has expired and discussion between Key Bank and the new counsel of NYM Holding is in process.

On December 17, 2019, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff') of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), which stated that the Company 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 "Bid Price Rule"). In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company was provided with a 180-day grace period to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, through June 15, 2020. The notice has no immediate impact on the listing or trading of the Company's securities on Nasdaq.

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 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.

3. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of iFresh and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited interim financial information as of December 31, 2019 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

The Company has two 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.

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 included, but are not limited to: allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables, inventory valuations, allowance for deferred tax assets, 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), 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 consist of merchandise purchased for resale, which are stated at the lower of cost or market. 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).

The Company's wholesale and retail non-perishable inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using weighted average method.

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 will 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 presentation of $59,839,700 of operating lease assets and $66,554,892 operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. See Note 12 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.

7

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 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.

Deferred financing costs

The Company presents deferred financing costs as a reduction of the carrying amount of the debt rather than as an asset. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method and reported as interest expense in the consolidated financial statements.

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, restricted cash, 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 and other liabilities, including current maturities, approximated their carrying value as of December 31, 2019and March 31, 2019, respectively. The Company's estimates of the fair value of line of credit and other liabilities (including current maturities) were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

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.

8

We had no material contract assets, contract liabilities, or costs to obtain and fulfill contracts recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods were $802,392 and $326,459, respectively.

Revenue expected to be recognized in any future periods related to remaining performance obligations is insignificant.

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, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including those interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard, but based on a preliminary assessment, does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed 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.

KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank") - Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On December 23, 2016, 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, 2019.

$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 loan term 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.

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 condensed 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. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company has negative EBITDA, thus the ratio was negative and the Company was 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 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 (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 shares transfer defaults for certain period of time. The Forbearance Agreement contains customary forbearance covenants and other 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 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") have agreed to guarantee the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement ("Obligations"). Key Bank 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. This second forbearance period has expired and discussion between Key Bank and the new counsel of NYM Holding is in process.

13. 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 operation results by the revenue of different products or services. Based on management's assessment, the Company has determined that it has two operating segments as defined by ASC 280, consisting of wholesale and retail operations.

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

14. 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 will be 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 is $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, these warrants have been exchanged to new warrants with exercise price of $1.35 and the new warrants will expire on June 5, 2023.

On December 11, 2019, iFresh Inc. (the "Company") entered into the following agreements:

  • An agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") between the Company and Long Deng, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Deng will sell his 70% interest in Dragon Seeds LLC to the Company in exchange for the Company's common stock. The closing of the acquisition is contingent on receiving stockholder approval for the transaction and the Company's receipt of a valuation opinion demonstrating that the fair market value of the Interest is equal to or greater than the aggregate fair market value of the consideration to be paid by the Company. Dragon Seeds LLC makes certain customary representations and warranties to the Company in connection with the Acquisition Agreement
  • An agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Jian Chen pursuant to which Jian Chen agreed to purchase 6,578,948 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for $2,500,000. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are contingent on the closing of the acquisition of Dragon Seeds LLC by the Company.
  • 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's common stock. 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.

All of the issuances and conversions of the Company's common stock in the foregoing agreements were at a price per share of $0.38, the closing price of the Company's common stock on December 10, 2019. As of the date of the report, these transactions are still contingent on stockholders' approval.

15. Income Taxes

iFresh is a Delaware holding company that is subject to the U.S. income tax.

NYM is taxed as a corporation for income tax purposes and as a result of the "Contribution Agreement" entered into in December 31, 2014 NYM has elected to file a consolidated federal income tax return with its eleven subsidiaries. NYM 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, NYM. NYM was incorporated on December 30, 2014 and has adopted a tax-year end of March 31.

Certain of the subsidiaries have incurred net operating losses ("NOL") in tax years ending prior to the Contribution Agreement. The 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, will not be fully realizable. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was approximately $5,582,580 and $4,166,595 as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019.

The Company has approximately $17,041,393 and $10,715,275 of US NOL carry forward as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively. For income tax purpose, those NOLs will expire in the year 2032 through 2038.

17. Contingent Liabilities

The Company is exposed to 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.

Ming's Supermarket, Inc. ("Ming"), the subsidiary of the Company, is a tenant at a building located at 140-148 East Berkeley Street, Boston, MA (the "Property"), pursuant to a lease dated September 24, 1999 (the "Lease"). The Lease had a 10-year initial term, followed by an option for two additional 10-year terms. Ming has exercised that first option and the Lease has approximately 15 years remaining to run if the second option is also exercised. The Lease also gives Ming a right of first refusal on any sale of the building.

On February 22, 2015, a sprinkler pipe burst in the Property. This caused the Inspectional Services Department of the City of Boston ("ISD") to inspect the Property. The ISD found a number of problems which have prevented further use of the Property. The ISD notified both landlord and tenant that the Property was only permitted for use as an elevator garage and that its use as a warehouse was never permitted and that a conditional use permit must be obtained from the City of Boston to make such use lawful. Moreover, the Property was found to have major structural issues requiring repair, as well as issues with the elevator and outside glass. The result of the ISD's findings are that Ming was ordered not to use the Property for any purpose unless and until the structural and other repairs are completed and its use as a warehouse is permitted by the Boston Zoning Board.

While the Lease provides that the elevator (approximate cost $400,000) and glass repairs (approximate cost $30,000) are the responsibility of the tenant, the structural repairs (approximate cost $500,000) are the landlord's responsibility under the Lease, unless the structural damage was caused by the tenant's misuse of the Property. In this regard Ming has retained an expert who testified the structural damage to the building was caused by long term water infiltration and is not the result of anything Ming did. Ming initially sought for the landlord to perform the structural repairs and agreed that upon completion of those repairs, Ming would repair the elevator and the broken glass. In addition, Ming asked the landlord to cooperate in permitting use of the Property as a warehouse.

21

The landlord refused to either perform structural repairs or to cooperate on the permitting. As a result, as of April 2015, Ming began withholding rent, since Ming was barred from using the Property by order of the ISD. 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 a Notice of Appeal, which will delay ultimate resolution of this matter for potentially one year or more. Ming has filed a lien against the landlord's real estate as security for the judgment.

On May 31, 2018, the ISD issued an occupancy permit, triggering Ming's requirement to resume regular rental payments. The result is a judgment in favor of Ming and against the landlord that will total approximately $1.85 million.

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.

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 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 $458,497.81for its 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.

Winking Group LLC v. New York Supermarket E. Broadway Inc.

A subsidiary of the Company, New York Supermarket E. Broadway Inc., entered into a lease with Winking Group LLC for the Company's store located at 75 East Broadway, NY, 10002. The landlord sued the Company for failing to pay rent and additional fee of $450,867. The Company is currently negotiating an agreement with the landlord to settle the case. On November 21, 2019, the Company consented to a final judgement of possession in favor of Winking Group LLC in the amount of $400,000, with $50,867 being waived by the landlord. $400,000 was paid as of December 31, 2019.

22

18. Subsequent Event

On December 11, 2019, iFresh Inc. (the "Company") entered into the following agreements:

  • An agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") between the Company and Long Deng, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Deng will sell his 70% interest in Dragon Seeds LLC to the Company in exchange for the Company's common stock. The closing of the acquisition is contingent on receiving stockholder approval for the transaction and the Company's receipt of a valuation opinion demonstrating that the fair market value of the Interest is equal to or greater than the aggregate fair market value of the consideration to be paid by the Company. Dragon Seeds LLC makes certain customary representations and warranties to the Company in connection with the Acquisition Agreement
  • An agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Jian Chen pursuant to which Jian Chen agreed to purchase 6,578,948 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for $2,500,000. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are contingent on the closing of the acquisition of Dragon Seeds LLC by the Company.
  • 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's common stock. 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.

All of the issuances and conversions of the Company's common stock in the foregoing agreements were at a price per share of $0.38, the closing price of the Company's common stock on December 10, 2019. As of the date of the report, these transactions are still contingent on stockholders' approval

On January 9, 2020, the Company and Mr. Deng amended the Conversion Agreement to extend the date on which it could be completed to January 15, 2020 (see note 14). On January 13, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation creating the class of Preferred Stock required by the Conversion Agreement, and around 3 million liabilities owed to Mr. Deng were converted into 1,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock has no voting rights, 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 preference equal to around 3 million over the Company's common stock. The 1,000 shares of preferred stock has been issued on January 13, 2020.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

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 population in the U.S. with its in-depth cultural understanding of its target customer's unique consumption habits. iFresh currently has ten retail supermarkets across New York, Massachusetts and Florida, with in excess of 6,224,500 sales transactions in its stores in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. It currently 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.

Recent Developments

Termination of Acquisition

On June 7, 2019, iFresh Inc. entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Xiaotai International Investment Inc. ("Xiaotai International") and the equity holders of Xiaotai International (the "Xiaotai Shareholders"), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, iFresh would acquire all of the outstanding issued shares and other equity interests in Xiaotai International from the Xiaotai Shareholders (the "Acquisition"). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Xiaotai International, iFresh agreed to issue 254,813,383 shares of its common stock to the Xiaotai Shareholders. Xiaotai International operates through its variable interest entity, Zhejiang Xiaotai Technology Co. Ltd. ("Zhejiang Xiaotai"), in China.

As disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K filed on November 5, 2019, we received news regarding an ongoing investigation of Zhejiang Xiaotai by the Hangzhou Police Department, Binjiang Branch ("Hangzhou Police") through a public notice released by the Hangzhou Police on November 3, 2019 (the "Police Report"). Zhejiang Xiaotai is alleged to have conducted illegal fundraising from the public. The report also stated that several executives of Zhejiang Xiaotai have been detained and are being held in custody.

24

On November 5, 2019 (the "Termination Date"), iFresh issued written notice to Xiaotai International and Xiaotai Shareholders to terminate the Exchange Agreement pursuant to section 9.1(c), (e) and (f) of the Exchange Agreement, effective immediately.

Outlook

iFresh is an Asian Chinese supermarket chain in the U.S. northeastern region with nine retail super markets and two wholesale facilities. iFresh plans to strategically expand along the I-95 corridor and its goal is to cover all states on the east coast.

  1. iFresh provides unique products to meet the demands of the Asian/Chinese American Market;
  2. iFresh has established a merchandising system backed by an in-house wholesale business and by long-standing relationships with farms;
  3. 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;
  4. iFresh capitalizes on economies of scale, allowing strong negotiating power with upstream vendors, downstream customers and sizable competitors; and
  5. iFresh has a proven and replicable track record of management, operation, acquisition and organic growth.

iFresh's net sales were $66.6 million and $92.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In terms of sales by category, Perishables constituted approximately 58% of the total sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. iFresh's net loss was $6.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 19.4%, from $7.8 million of net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA was $-3.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 36.3%, from $-4.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018.

An acquisition agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement") was entered on December 11, 2019 between the Company and Long Deng, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Deng will sell his 70% interest in Dragon Seeds LLC to the Company in exchange for the Company's common stock. The closing of the acquisition is contingent on receiving stockholder approval for the transaction and the Company's receipt of a valuation opinion demonstrating that the fair market value of the Interest is equal to or greater than the aggregate fair market value of the consideration to be paid by the Company.

Factors Affecting iFresh's Operating Results

Seasonality

iFresh's business shows 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 its 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 first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company contracted these two stores to third party to operate and are collecting contracting fees. The gross margin was low in these stores since the Company's distribution center in New York area could not lower the purchase cost of the stores in MA. The Company's retail sales decreased significantly due to the change of operations of these two stores.

26

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 $1.2 million, or 7.7% for the year ended March 31, 2019 compared the year ended March 31, 2018. Due to close of one store and change of operations in 2 stores in MA (see discussion in "net sales" section below), payroll and related expenses decreased by $2.5 million or 24% for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of last year as a result of workforce reduction to reduce costs.

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 facilities, which supplied about 19.6 % and 12.8% of its procurement for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 and nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. iFresh believes that its centralized vendor management enhances iFresh's negotiating power and improves its ability to turnover inventory and vendor payables. Any changes to the vendor and supply management could affect iFresh's purchasing costs and operating expenses. Starting from Q4 of fiscal year 2019, the Company's wholesale business gradually slows down and the retail stores are heavily relied on third party vendors for inventory supplies instead of 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 operation and operating results. As of December 31, 2019, two iFresh stores are under renovation and have not opened yet. iFresh incurred $449,948 in expenses for these stores for the year ended March 31, 2019. One store was under renovation for 10 months in the year of 2019 and incurred $871,709 in expense. Because these stores are being renovated, sales are affected.

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 income statement and would decrease iFresh's profit when 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.

27

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 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.

Gross Profit

iFresh calculates 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 cost of goods sold.

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 NYM's 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.

iFresh's net sales were $66.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $26.1 million, or 28.2 %, from $ 92.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018.

Net retail sales to third parties decreased by $24.4 million, or 31%, from $78.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 to $54.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease resulted mainly from our Quincy (Zen Store) and Boston (Ming Store), Massachusetts stores. Ming and Zen contributed $16.2 million of retail sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. Starting from the fiscal year 2019, these two stores experienced significantly decreased sales due to competition from newly opened grocery stores. On April 1, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement for the two stores with third parties to operate those stores, and the Company is collecting management fees from the third parties. Management fees are $40,000 per month for the first six months and $50,000 after the first six months, and the term of the agreements is 36 months. In addition, the Company bills the other party for rent and utilities expense incurred and the other party will be responsible for payroll and employee benefits. The Company sold all inventory at net book value of $1.5 million, but retains ownership of all property and equipment. The depreciation and amortization expense were approximately $420,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. In addition, sales from our stores in New York City decreased by $8.9 million because 1) we closed store in Avenue U2 in early September, which contributed $5.8 million of sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2018, compared to $2.9 million of sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2019; 2), we contracted part of vegetables and fruits business to third parties in our store to improve our margin.

Our total net wholesale sales decreased by $1.7 million from $13.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 to $12.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, attributable that our sales to related parties decreased by $1.6 million from the nine months ended December 31, 2018 to the nine months ended December 31, 2019, attributable to that New York Mart Group Inc. is going out of business.

For the retail segment, cost of sales decreased by $20.4 million, from $58.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018, to $38.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was consistent with the decreased sales and mainly due to changes we made to Ming and Zen store in MA and close of store in Avenue U2 mentioned above. Costs decreased by 34.6%, compared to a sales decrease of 31%, leading to a higher margin, which was calculated before adding the occupancy cost to the total cost. This is expected when the strategic decision was made to contract the stores to third parties to operate.

Occupancy costs consist of store-level expenses such as rental expenses, property taxes, and other store specific costs. Occupancy costs decreased by approximately $1.1 million, which was mainly attributable to the decreased rent from Ming and Zen stores which are operated by third parties as mentioned above and cancellation of one of the lease signed between New York Market Group with the Company's affiliates since New York Market Group is going out of business.

Gross profit was $10.8 and $13.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Gross margin was 19.9% and 17.4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 was lower than usual is because, in the last summer, our retail stores increased purchases from local farms instead of purchasing directly from our wholesalers, which increased our cost of sales.

For our wholesale segment, the cost of sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $1.3 million, or 12%, from $10.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 to $9.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is consistent with the significant decrease of sales from the wholesale segment in 2019.

Gross profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 decreased by around $423,000, or 12.2%, from $3.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 to $3.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. Gross margin was consistent in these two periods.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

In addition, one of our wholesale company is going out of business and selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $1.2 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $1.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $0.3 million, or 28.3%, from $ 1.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018, attributable to the increased average outstanding loan balance from $19.4 from nine months ended December 31, 2018 to $20.7 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. In addition, the Company paid approximately $150,000 of forbearance fee to Key Bank in May due to the violation of covenant.

Impairment Loss and Other income

The Company charged $1.1 million impairment loss related leasehold improvements in one closed store in New York area.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company collected $0.5 million of management fee from contracting Ming and Zen in MA to third parties for operation, net of rental expense the Company for these two stores. In addition, the Company has subleased some spaces in its stores for small vendors to sell prepared foods. Rental income increased by $0.6 million.

Income Taxes Provision

We are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Income tax expense was around $116,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $314,000 of income tax expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The effective income tax rate was -1.9% and -4% for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company made reserve for deferred tax asset due to the significant loss incurred.

iFresh's net sales were $20.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $10.4 million, or 33.3%, from $31.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

The decrease resulted mainly from our Quincy (Zen Store) and Boston (Ming Store), Massachusetts stores. Ming and Zen contributed $5.6 million of retail sales for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Starting from the fiscal year 2019, these two stores experienced significantly decreased sales due to competition from newly opened grocery stores. On April 1, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement for the two stores with third parties to operate those stores, and the Company is collecting management fees from the third parties. Management fees are $40,000 per month for the first six months and $50,000 after the first six months, and the term of the agreements is 36 months. In addition, the Company bills the other party for rent and utilities expense incurred and the other party will be responsible for payroll and employee benefits. The Company sold all inventory at net book value of $1.5 million, but retains ownership of all property and equipment. The depreciation and amortization expense were approximately $140,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. In addition, sales from our stores in New York City decreased by $4.9 million because 1) we closed store in Avenue U2 in early September, which contributed $5.8 million of sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2018, compared to $2.9 million of sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2019; 2), we contracted part of vegetables and fruits business to third parties in our store to improve our margin.

32

Our total net wholesale sales decreased by $0.5 million from $4.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 to $3.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, attributable that our sales to related parties decreased by $0.4 million from the three months ended December 31, 2018 to the three months ended December 31, 2019, attributable to that New York Mart Group Inc. is going out of business.

For the retail segment, cost of sales decreased by $8.3 million, from $20.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, to $11.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was consistent with the sales decreased and mainly due to changes we made to Ming and Zen store in MA and close of store in Avenue U2 mentioned above. The cost decreased by 41%, compared to sales decrease of 36.8%, lead to higher margin which was calculated before adding the occupancy cost in the total cost. This was expected when the strategic decision was made to contract the stores to third parties to operate.

Occupancy costs consist of store-level expenses such as rental expenses, property taxes, and other store specific costs. Occupancy costs decreased by approximately $0.8 million, which was mainly attributable to decreased rent from Ming and Zen stores which are operated by third parties as mentioned above and the cancellation of one of the lease signed between New York Market Group with the Company's affiliates since New York Market Group is going out of business.

Gross profit was $3.6 and $4.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Gross margin was 21.4% and 16.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was lower than usual is because, in the last summer, our retail stores increased purchases from local farms instead of purchasing directly from our wholesalers, which increased our cost of sales.

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2019 decreased by around $523,000, or 43.8%, from $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 to $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. Gross margin decreased by 10.1% from 27.6% to 17.5%. The increase was due to the significant increase of tariff for imports from China as mentioned above.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses was $5.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 24.4%, compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, which was mainly attributable to the $1.6 million expense decrease from two stores in MA since we contracted these two stores and we do not operate these two stores ourselves, as well as close down of one store in New York city. One of our wholesale company is going out of business and selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $0.3 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $326,339 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $30,962, or 8.7%, from $357,301 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, primarily attributable to the decreased average loan balance from $21.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 to $20.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

Impairment loss and Other income

The Company charged $1.1 million impairment loss related leasehold improvements in one closed store in New York area.

Other income was $0.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $0.4 million, or 120.3%, from $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company collected $0.3 million of management fee from contracting Ming and Zen in MA to third parties for operation. In addition, the Company has subleased some spaces in its stores for small vendors to sell prepared foods. Rental income increased by $0.2 million.

Income Taxes Provision

The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Income tax was $52,096 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $52,096, or 100%, compared to $0 of tax for the three months ended December 31, 2018. For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company made reserve for deferred tax asset due to the significant loss incurred.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2019, iFresh had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.7 million. iFresh had operating losses for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and had negative working capital of $26.1 million and $21.6 million as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively. iFresh had negative equity of $1.0 million as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019. The long-term KeyBank loan of $20.1 million has been presented as short-term because the Company is not in compliance with the KeyBank loan covenants and KeyBank has the option to accelerate payment at any time. The Company did not meet certain financial covenants required in the credit agreement with KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank"). As of December 31, 2019, the Company has outstanding loan facilities of approximately $20.1 million due to KeyBank. Failure to maintain these loan facilities will have a significant impact on the Company's operations. iFresh had 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. iFresh's management has considered the historical experience, the economy, trends in the retail industry, the expected collectability of the accounts receivables and the realization of the inventories as of December 31, 2019. iFresh's ability to continue to fund these items may be affected by general economic, competitive and other factors, many of which are outside of our control.

We have $4.8 million of advances and receivables from related parties that we intend to collect or acquire, and these advances and receivables will be used to offset part of the acquisition consideration for such related parties.

The Company's principal liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses, and capital expenditure obligations. As of December 31, 2019, the Company remains in noncompliance with the financial covenants of the KeyBank Loan. These conditions continue to raise doubt as to the Company's ability to remain a going concern.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities consists primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation, changes in deferred income taxes, loss on early extinguishment of debt, and the effect of working capital changes. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $3.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 56%, compared to $ 7.1 million used in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was a result of a decrease of net loss of $1.5 million, impairment loss of $1.1 million and an increase of $1.7 million from change of working capital mainly resulting from decrease from inventory and tax payable.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $1.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of approximately $1.6 million, compared to approximately $8,000 provided by investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to the decrease of $3.0 million net cash collected from related party, offset by decrease of in acquisition of property and equipment in 2019 of $1.5 million.

Financing Activities

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, and cash received from issuance of stock of $1.5 million, offset by net cash paid for bank loans of $1.3 million, $194,000 cash paid notes payable, and capital leases. Net cash provided from financing activities was $8.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2018, which mainly consisted of net cash flow from bank loans of $5.7 million, cash received from issuance of stock of $3.7 million, offset by $208,000 cash paid for notes payable and capital leases and repayment on term loan of $1.2 million.

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 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, 2019.

$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 December 31, 2019.

36

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 (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 contains customary forbearance covenants and other 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 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") have agreed to guarantee the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement ("Obligations"). Key Bank 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. This second forbearance period has expired and discussion between Key Bank and the new counsel of NYM Holding is in process.

The Company has been repaying this facility in accordance with its terms. 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-month period of less than 3.00 to

1.00 at the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company has negative EBITDA, thus the ratio was negative and the Company was not in compliance with the financial covenants of the KeyBank loan.

While KeyBank has not yet acted to accelerate payment of the facility, KeyBank considers the Company to be in default and will not make any further advances under the Credit Facility until the Company comes into compliance with the Credit Agreement.

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, lease, 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 3 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.

We had no material contract assets, contract liabilities or costs to obtain and fulfill contracts recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019. Revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods was insignificant.

Inventories

Inventories consist of merchandise purchased for resale, which are stated at the lower of cost or market. 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).

The Company's wholesale and retail non-perishable inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market using 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.

38

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 will 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 presentation of $59,839,700 of operating lease assets and $66,554,892 operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. See Note 12 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 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 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 realizable 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.

iFresh apply 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, and 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.

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 Dec. 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. The Company expects that the adoption of this ASU would not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13 requires companies to measure credit losses utilizing a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including those interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard, but based on a preliminary assessment, does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As of December 31, 2019, 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, 2019, 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, 2019, due to our lack of experience being a public company and lack of professional staff with adequate knowledge of SEC's rules and requirements.

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.

Ming's Supermarket, Inc. ("Ming"), the subsidiary of the Company, is a tenant at a building located at 140-148 East Berkeley Street, Boston, MA (the "Property"), pursuant to a lease dated September 24, 1999 (the "Lease"). The Lease had a 10-year initial term, followed by an option for two additional 10-year terms. Ming has exercised that first option and the Lease has approximately 15 years remaining to run if the second option is also exercised. The Lease also gives Ming a right of first refusal on any sale of the building.

On February 22, 2015, a sprinkler pipe burst in the Property. This caused the Inspectional Services Department of the City of Boston ("ISD") to inspect the Property. The ISD found a number of problems which have prevented further use of the Property. The ISD notified both landlord and tenant that the Property was only permitted for use as an elevator garage and that its use as a warehouse was never permitted and that a conditional use permit must be obtained from the City of Boston to make such use lawful. Moreover, the Property was found to have major structural issues requiring repair, as well as issues with the elevator and outside glass. The result of the ISD's findings are that Ming was ordered not to use the Property for any purpose unless and until the structural and other repairs are completed and its use as a warehouse is permitted by the Boston Zoning Board.

While the Lease provides that the elevator (approximate cost $400,000) and glass repairs (approximate cost $30,000) are the responsibility of the tenant, the structural repairs (approximate cost $500,000) are the landlord's responsibility under the Lease, unless the structural damage was caused by the tenant's misuse of the Property. In this regard Ming has retained an expert who will testify the structural damage to the building was caused by long term water infiltration and is not the result of anything Ming did. Ming initially sought for the landlord to perform the structural repairs and agreed that upon completion of those repairs, Ming would repair the elevator and the broken glass. In addition, Ming asked the landlord to cooperate in permitting use of the Property as a warehouse.

The landlord refused to either perform structural repairs or to cooperate on the permitting. As a result, as of April 2015, Ming began withholding rent, since Ming was barred from using the Property by order of the ISD. 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 a Notice of Appeal, which will delay ultimate resolution of this matter for potentially one year or more. Ming has filed a lien against the landlord's real estate as security for the judgment.

41

On May 31, 2018, the ISD issued an occupancy permit, triggering Ming's requirement to resume regular rental payments. The result is a judgment in favor of Ming and against the landlord that will total approximately $1.85 million.

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.

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 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 $458,497.81for its alleged loss under the .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.

Winking Group LLC v. New York Supermarket E. Broadway Inc.

A subsidiary of the Company, New York Supermarket E. Broadway Inc., entered into a lease with Winking Group LLC for the Company's store located at 75 East Broadway, NY, 10002. The landlord sued the Company for failing to pay rent and additional fee of $450,867. The Company is currently negotiating an agreement with the landlord to settle the case. On November 21, 2019, the Company consented to a final judgment of possession in favor of Winking Group LLC in the amount of $400,000, with $50,867 being waived by the landlord. $400,000 have been paid as of December 31, 2019.

42

Regulatory Compliance

On November 6, 2019, iFresh Inc. received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff') of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), which stated that, based upon the Company's continued non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b), which requires stockholders' equity of $2.5 million, or a market value of listed securities of $35 million, or net income from continuing operations of $500,000, the Staff had determined not to grant an extension to allow the Company to demonstrate compliance, the Company's securities would be subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel"). The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel, and, on December 18, 2019, the Company received a letter from the Panel granting the Company's request for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to an extension to evidence compliance with the Stockholder's Equity Requirement. The Company's continued listing on Nasdaq is subject to the Company's timely compliance with certain interim milestones and, ultimately, the Company evidencing compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement by no later than April 15, 2020.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

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, 2018 and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019 (the "Previous Reports"). 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 Previous Reports, 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 Previous Reports. 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 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities.

None.

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 KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank" 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%.

Although the Company has been timely repaying the KeyBank facility in accordance with its terms, the Company failed to timely pay federal income taxes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,187,693, which resulted in the IRS imposing a tax lien on the Company on June 11, 2018 in the amount of $1,236,831. Although the Company subsequently paid the tax liabilities in full in June 2018 and the IRS released the tax lien by July 30, 2018, the Company was in default under the KeyBank Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2018 for having failed to timely pay federal taxes and because the IRS imposed a tax lien.

Additionally, the financial covenants of the KeyBank loan require the Company to maintain a senior funded debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") ratio for the trailing 12 month period of less than 3.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has negative EBITDA, thus the ratio was negative and the Company was not in compliance with the financial covenants of the KeyBank loan. In addition, on February 7, 2019, the Company received a notice from Keybank indicating Keybank does not consent to the transaction contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement by and between Long Deng and HK Xu Ding Co. Limited and that the monthly principal and interest payment amount shall be adjusted to $155,872.35 to fully amortize the current outstanding principal balance of the loan over the number of months remaining on the original ten year amortization period at the interest rate now in effect.

Due to the Company's failure to timely pay federal taxes, the IRS's imposition of a tax lien, the Company's failure to satisfy the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement, the Company is currently in default under the Credit Agreement. The Company has advised KeyBank of the default, and while KeyBank has not yet acted to accelerate payment of the facility, KeyBank does consider the Company to be in default and will not make any further advances under the Credit Facility until the Company complies with its obligations under the Credit Agreement. Keybank indicated in its notice to the Company on February 7, 2019 that as a result of the events of default occurred so far, effective March 1, 2019, interest will accrue on all loans at the default rate. The Company's inability to draw down amounts under the credit facility significantly impairs the Company's growth plans and limits its liquidity. In addition, if KeyBank were to decide to accelerate repayment of the Credit Facility, the Company's financial condition and operations would be negatively impacted. Although the Company anticipates being able to obtain a waiver from KeyBank regarding the Company's default, there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in doing so.

43

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 90th 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") have 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.

The Lender 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. No subsequent agreement or amendment was entered into.

Each such insurance policy is valid and binding and in full force and effect, all premiums due thereunder have been paid and the Company has not received any notice of cancellation or termination in respect of any such policy or default thereunder.

11

    1.

    1. All accounts receivable and notes of the Company reflected on the Financial Statements, and all accounts receivable and notes arising subsequent to the date thereof, represent valid obligations arising from services actually performed or goods actually sold by the Company in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. The accounts payable of the Company reflected on the Financial Statements, and all accounts payable arising subsequent to the date thereof, arose from bona fide transactions in the ordinary course consistent with past practice.
    2. To the best of the Company's knowledge, there is no contest, claim, or right of setoff in any agreement with any maker of an account receivable or note relating to the amount or validity of such account, receivables or note that could reasonably result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the best of the Company's knowledge, all accounts, receivables or notes are good and collectible in the ordinary course of business.

7.2 Indemnification of Purchaser. Deng hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, each of its Affiliates, and each of their members, managers, partners, directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents and permitted assignees (the "Purchaser Indemnitees") against and in respect of any Losses incurred or sustained by any Purchaser Indemnitee as a result of any breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment or the alleged breach, of any of the representations, warranties and covenants of Deng or the Company contained herein or in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto.

  1. 7.3 Indemnification Procedures. The following procedures shall apply with respect to all claims by either a Deng Indemnitee or a Purchaser Indemnitee (an "Indemnified Party") for indemnification:

  2. An Indemnified Party shall give the Purchaser or Deng, as applicable, prompt notice (an "Indemnification Notice") of any third-party action with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 (a "Third-PartyClaim"), which shall describe in reasonable detail the Loss that has been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. The failure to give the Indemnification Notice shall not impair any of the rights or benefits of such Indemnified Party under Section 7.1 or 7.2, except to the extent such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of Purchaser or Deng, as applicable (any of such parties, "Indemnifying Parties") to defend such claim or increases the amount of such liability.
  3. In the case of any Third-Party Claims as to which indemnification is sought by any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the sole expense and liability of the Indemnifying Parties, to exercise full control of the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim unless the Indemnifying Parties, within a reasonable time after the giving of an Indemnification Notice by the Indemnified Party (but in any event within ten (10) days thereafter), shall (i) deliver a written confirmation to such Indemnified Party that the indemnification provisions of Section 7.1 or 7.2 are applicable to such action and the Indemnifying Parties will indemnify such Indemnified Party in respect of such action pursuant to the terms of Section 7.1 or 7.2 and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, shall do so without asserting any challenge, defense, limitation on the Indemnifying Parties liability for Losses, counterclaim or offset, (ii) notify such Indemnified Party in writing of the intention of the Indemnifying Parties to assume the defense thereof, and (iii) retain legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
  4. If the Indemnifying Parties assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 7.3(b), then the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Parties in any manner reasonably requested in connection with the defense, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be kept fully informed by the Indemnifying Parties and their legal counsel with respect to the status of any legal proceedings, to the extent not inconsistent with the preservation of attorney-client or work product privilege. If the Indemnifying Parties so assume the defense of any such Third-Party Claim the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel employed by the Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Parties have agreed to pay such fees and expenses, or (ii) the named parties to any such Third-Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include an Indemnified Party and an Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties in the conduct of the defense thereof, and in any such case the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties.

22

  1. If the Indemnifying Parties elect to assume the defense of any Third- Party Claim pursuant to Section 7.3(b), the Indemnified Party shall not pay, or permit to be paid, any part of any claim or demand arising from such asserted liability unless the Indemnifying Parties withdraw from or fail to vigorously prosecute the defense of such asserted liability, or unless a judgment is entered against the Indemnified Party for such liability. If the Indemnifying Parties do not elect to defend, or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the Indemnifying Parties fail to adequately prosecute or withdraw such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, at the Indemnifying Parties' expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Indemnifying Parties shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, and the Indemnified Party (at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties) shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement of (i) that part of any Third Party Claim (x) that seeks a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance against the Indemnified Party, or (y) to the extent such Third Party Claim involves criminal allegations against the Indemnified Party or (ii) the entire Third Party Claim if such Third Party Claim would impose liability on the part of the Indemnified Party in an amount which is greater than the amount as to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement. In the event the Indemnified Party retains control of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not settle the subject claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
  2. If the Indemnified Party undertakes the defense of any such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 and proposes to settle the same prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Parties prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to participate in the settlement, assume or reassume the defense thereof or prosecute such appeal, in each case at the Indemnifying Parties' expense. The Indemnifying Parties shall not, without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party settle or compromise or consent to entry of any judgment with respect to any such Third-Party Claim (i) in which any relief other than the payment of money damages is or may be sought against such Indemnified Party, (ii) in which such Third Party Claim could be reasonably expected to impose or create a monetary liability on the part of the Indemnified Party (such as an increase in the Indemnified Party's income Tax) other than the monetary claim of the third party in such Third-Party Claim being paid pursuant to such settlement or judgment, or (iii) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant, person conducting such investigation or initiating such hearing, plaintiff or petitioner to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim and all other actions (known or unknown) arising or which might arise out of the same facts.
    7.4 Periodic Payments. Any indemnification required by Section 7.1 or 7. 2 for costs, disbursements or expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any action shall be made by periodic payments by the Indemnifying Parties to each Indemnified Party during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or costs, disbursements or expenses are incurred.

7.5 Insurance. Any indemnification payments hereunder shall take into account any insurance proceeds or other third party reimbursement actually

received.

7.6 Survival of Indemnification Rights. The representations and warranties of Purchaser, the Company and Deng shall survive for a twelve (12) month period following the Closing.
