ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION | ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION Organization and General HF Foods Group Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively “HF Group”, or the “Company”) is a leading Asian food service distributor that markets and distributes fresh produce, frozen and dry food, and non-food products to primarily Asian restaurants and other food service customers throughout the Southeast, Pacific and Mountain West regions in the United States. The Company is the result of a successful merger between two complementary market leaders, HF Group Holding Corporation ("HF Holding") and B&R Global Holdings, Inc. ("B&R Global") on November 4, 2019. The Company was originally incorporated in Delaware on May 19, 2016 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name Atlantic Acquisition Corp. (“Atlantic”), in order to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with, one or more businesses or entities. On August 22, 2018, Atlantic consummated a reverse acquisition transaction resulting in the stockholders of HF Holding becoming the majority shareholders of Atlantic, and changed its name to HF Foods Group Inc. On November 4, 2019, the Company consummated a merger transaction, resulting in B&R Global becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of HF Group. On January 17, 2020, B&R Global acquired all the equity membership interests of the subsidiaries under B&R Group Realty Holding, LLC ("BRGR"), which owned warehouse facilities that were being leased to B&R Global for its operations in California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Washington, and Montana. See further transaction details below. Formation of HF Holding HF Holding was incorporated in the State of North Carolina on October 11, 2017 as a holding company to acquire and consolidate the various pre-merger operating entities under one roof. On January 1, 2018, HF Holding entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the controlling shareholders of the 11 entities listed below in exchange for all of HF Holding’s outstanding shares.

(“Kirnland”) • HG Realty, LLC (“HG Realty”) In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25, the transaction consummated through the Exchange Agreement was accounted for as a transaction among entities under common control since the same shareholders controlled all 11 entities prior to the execution of the Agreement. Furthermore, ASC 805-50-45-5 indicates that the financial statements and financial information presented for prior years also shall be retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information. In accordance with ASC 805-50-30-5, when accounting for a transfer of assets or exchange of shares between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests should initially recognize the assets and liabilities transferred at their carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of the transfer. If the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities transferred differ from the historical cost of the parent of the entities under common control, then the financial statements of the receiving entity should reflect the transferred assets and liabilities at the historical cost of the parent of the entities under common control. Accordingly, the Company recorded the assets and liabilities transferred from the above entities at their carrying amount. Reverse Acquisition of HF Holding On August 22, 2018, Atlantic consummated a reverse acquisition transaction resulting in HF Holding becoming the surviving entity (the “Atlantic Merger”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantic (the “Atlantic Acquisition”). The stockholders of HF Holding became the majority shareholders of Atlantic, and the Company changed its name to HF Foods Group Inc. (collectively, these transactions are referred to as the “Atlantic Transactions”). At closing, Atlantic issued the HF Holding stockholders an aggregate of 19,969,831 shares of its common stock, equal to approximately 88.5% of the aggregate issued and outstanding shares of Atlantic’s common stock. The pre-Transaction stockholders of Atlantic owned the remaining 11.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the combined entity. Following the consummation of the Atlantic Transactions on August 22, 2018, there were 22,167,486 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, consisting of (i) 19,969,831 shares issued to HF Holding’s stockholders pursuant to the Atlantic Merger Agreement, (ii) 10,000 restricted shares issued to one of Atlantic’s shareholders in conjunction with the Atlantic Transactions, and (iii) 2,587,655 shares originally issued to the pre-Transactions stockholders of Atlantic, less 400,000 shares sold back to Atlantic by one of Atlantic’s pre-Transactions shareholders in conjunction with the Atlantic Transactions. The Atlantic Acquisition was treated as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). For accounting purposes, HF Holding was considered to be acquiring Atlantic in this transaction. Therefore, the aggregate consideration paid in connection with the business combination was allocated to Atlantic’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on their fair market values. The assets and liabilities and results of operations of Atlantic were consolidated into the results of operations of HF Holding as of the completion of the Atlantic Transactions. HF Holding Entities Organized or Acquired Post-Atlantic Merger On July 10, 2019, the Company, through its subsidiary Han Feng, formed a new real estate holding company, R&N Charlotte, L.L.C. ("R&N Charlotte"). R&N Charlotte owns a 4.66 acre tract of land with appurtenant 115,570 square foot office/warehouse/industrial facility located in Charlotte, North Carolina. On December 10, 2019, the Company, through its subsidiary Han Feng, established a new entity, HF Foods Industrial, L.L.C. ("HFFI"), as owner of 60% of member interests, to operate as a food processing company. On October 10, 2020, the Company, through its subsidiary HF Group Holding, formed a wholly-owned new real estate lease holding company, 273 Fifth Avenue, L.L.C. ("273 Co"). On May 28, 2021, the Company, through its subsidiary HF Group Holding, purchased the 33.33% non-controlling interest of the stock in Kirnland from the previous minority shareholder.

At closing, the Company acquired 100% of the controlling interest of B&R Global, in exchange for the issuance of 30,700,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company to the shareholders of B&R Global. Pursuant to the B&R Merger Agreement, the aggregate fair value of the consideration paid by the Company in the Business Combination was $576,699,494, based on the closing share price of the Company’s common stock at the date of Closing. B&R Global was formed in 2014 as a holding company to acquire and consolidate the various related operating entities (listed below) under one roof. Through its subsidiaries, B&R Global supplies foodservice items to approximately 5,000 restaurants across 11 Western states.

Acquisition of Real Estate Companies On January 17, 2020, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated the same date (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among its subsidiary B&R Global, BRGR, and nine subsidiary limited liability companies wholly owned by BRGR (the “BRGR Subsidiaries”) (the “Realty Acquisition”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, B&R Global acquired all equity membership interests in the BRGR Subsidiaries, which own 10 warehouse facilities that were being leased by the Company for its operations in California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Washington, and Montana, in exchange for purchase consideration of $101,269,706. Before the acquisition of the BRGR Subsidiaries, the CEO of the Company, Xiao Mou Zhang, managed and owned 8.91% interest in BRGR. Consideration for the Realty Acquisition was funded by (i) $75.6 million in mortgage-backed term loans financed under the Second Amended Credit Agreement (see Note 10 for additional information), (ii) issuance by B&R Global of a $7.0 million Unsecured Subordinated Promissory Note (the “Note”) to BRGR, and (iii) payment of $18.7 million from funds drawn from the Company’s revolving credit facility. The following table summarizes B&R Global’s additional wholly owned subsidiaries as a result of the Realty Acquisition: Name Date of Formation / Place of Formation / Percentage of Legal Principal Activities A & Kie, LLC ("AK") March 26, 2010 Arizona, USA 100% Real estate holding company B & R Realty, LLC ("BRR") August 28, 2013 California, USA 100% Real estate holding company Big Sea Realty, LLC ("BSR") April 3, 2013 Washington, USA 100% Real estate holding company Fortune Liberty, LLC ("FL") November 22, 2006 Utah, USA 100% Real estate holding company Genstar Realty, LLC ("GSR") February 27, 2012 California, USA 100% Real estate holding company Hardin St Properties, LLC ("HP") December 5, 2012 Montana, USA 100% Real estate holding company Lenfa Food, LLC ("LF") February 14, 2002 Colorado, USA 100% Real estate holding company Lucky Realty, LLC ("LR") September 3, 2003 California, USA 100% Real estate holding company Murray Properties, LLC ("MP") February 27, 2013 Utah, USA 100% Real estate holding company The combined entity, resulting from the merger of B&R Global and HF Group, has 13 distribution centers strategically located in 8 states across the Southeast, Pacific and Mountain West regions of the United States and serves over 10,000 restaurants across 22 states with a fleet of over 300 refrigerated vehicles, and a workforce of over 780 employees and subcontractors. The Company is also supported by two call centers in China which provide round-the-clock sales and service support to its customers, who mainly converse in Mandarin or Chinese dialects. Independent Investigation Update In March 2020, an analyst report suggested certain improprieties in the Company’s operations. These allegations became the subject of two putative stockholder class actions filed on or after March 29, 2020 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California generally alleging the Company, and certain of its current and former directors and officers violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making allegedly false and misleading statements (the “Class Actions”). After the second putative stockholder class action was filed, the Class Actions were consolidated. In response to the allegations in the analyst report, the Company's Board of Directors appointed a Special Committee of Independent Directors to conduct an independent investigation with the assistance of counsel (the “Special Committee”). In addition, the SEC initiated a formal, non-public investigation of the Company, and the SEC informally requested, and later issued a subpoena for, documents and other information. The subpoena relates to but is not necessarily limited to the matters identified in the Class Actions. The Special Committee and the Company are cooperating with the SEC. The SEC and the Special Committee investigations are ongoing. To date, the Special Committee has reached no final conclusions in conjunction with its investigation. The investigation is focused primarily on related party transactions that occurred in periods prior to December 31, 2020 with entities that are/were owned by certain former executives and officers (including family members), of the Company, as well as other matters. It is possible that future findings of the independent investigation could result in a determination that acts occurred, which might impact the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and/or associated disclosures. Such impacts could potentially include, but are not limited to, historical misstatement of assets, liabilities, equity and earnings, the evaluation and potential consolidation of variable interest entities into the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the recording of additional compensation expense and related payroll taxes associated with certain of the Company’s former executive officers. Even if these impacts occur, they may or may not have been material. As with any SEC investigation, there is also the possibility of potential fines and penalties. At this time, however, the Special Committee has not made any conclusions about what, if any, conduct occurred and the impact, if any, of that conduct on historical consolidated financial statements. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and have been consistently applied. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. U.S. GAAP provides guidance on the identification of VIE and financial reporting for entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting interests. The Company evaluates each of its interests in an entity to determine whether or not the investee is a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of such VIE. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company considers if the Company (1) has power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE, and (2) receives the economic benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. If deemed the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the VIE. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, FUSO is considered to be a VIE. FUSO was established solely to provide exclusive services to the Company. The entity lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from the Company, and the Company has the power to direct the VIE's activities. In addition, the Company receives the economic benefits from the entity and has concluded that the Company is a primary beneficiary. The carrying amounts of the assets, liabilities, the results of operations and cash flows of the VIE included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows are as follows: September 30, December 31, Current assets $ 84,742 $ 47,822 Non-current assets 10,885 115,934 Total assets $ 95,627 $ 163,756 Current liabilities $ 369,356 $ 496,234 Non-current liabilities — 39,475 Total liabilities $ 369,356 $ 535,709 For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Net revenue $ 681,539 $ 531,194 $ 1,882,544 $ 1,612,999 Net income (loss) $ (78,454) $ 16,157 $ 98,224 $ 115,602 For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 12,646 $ 32,697 $ 65,158 $ 366,899 Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities (26,547) (15,359) (16,692) (260,971) Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents $ (13,901) $ 17,338 $ 48,466 $ 105,928 Non-controlling Interests U.S. GAAP requires that non-controlling interests in subsidiaries and affiliates be reported in the equity section of a company’s balance sheet. In addition, the amounts attributable to the net income (loss) of those subsidiaries are reported separately in the consolidated statements of operations. On May 28, 2021, the Company, through its subsidiary HF Group Holding, purchased the 33.33% noncontrolling interest of the stock in Kirnland for $5,000,000, making Kirnland a wholly owned subsidiary. In accordance with ASC 810-10-45-23, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary shall be accounted for as equity transactions. Therefore, no gain or loss shall be recognized. As a result of this transaction, noncontrolling interests were reduced by $1,144,113 and the remaining difference of $3,855,887 was charged to additional paid-in capital. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, non-controlling interests consisted of the following: Name of Entity Percentage of September 30, December 31, Kirnland —% $ — $ 1,384,780 HFFI 40.00% (977) — MIN 39.75% 1,268,809 889,596 MS 35.00% 452,677 459,816 OW 32.50% 1,856,680 1,633,355 Total $ 3,577,189 $ 4,367,547 Uses of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, useful lives of property and equipment, lease assumptions, impairment of long-lived assets, long-term investments, impairment of goodwill, the purchase price allocation and fair value of non-controlling interests with respect to business combinations, realization of deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, and uncertain income tax positions. Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or shorter to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had no cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable, net Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Receivables are presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and determines the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of factors. When the Company is aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, a specific allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded, reducing the receivable to the net amount the Company reasonably expects to collect. In addition, allowances are recorded for all other receivables based on historic collection trends, write-offs and the aging of receivables. The Company uses specific criteria to determine uncollectible receivables to be written off, including, e.g., bankruptcy filings, the referral of customer accounts to outside parties for collection, and the length that accounts remain past due. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, allowances for doubtful accounts were $349,311 and $909,182, respectively. Inventories The Company’s inventories, consisting mainly of food and other food service-related products, are considered as finished goods. Inventory costs, including the purchase price of the product and freight charges to deliver it to the Company’s warehouses, are net of certain cash or non-cash consideration received from vendors. The Company adjusts its inventory balances for slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories to their net realizable value based upon inventory category, inventory age, specifically identified items, and overall economic conditions. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Following are the estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment: Estimated Useful Lives Automobiles 3 — 7 Buildings and improvements 7 — 39 Furniture and fixtures 4 — 10 Machinery and equipment 3 — 10 Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in other income or expenses. Business Combinations The Company accounts for its business combinations using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 (“ASC 805”), Business Combinations . The purchase method of accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets and liabilities the Company acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over, (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings. The Company estimates the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, its estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to future expected revenues and cash flows, useful lives, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies. Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates it has made in the past have been reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. On the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred, and are included in distribution, selling and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations of the businesses that the Company acquired are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, as of December 31, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable and annually for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as required by ASC Topic 350 (“ASC 350”), Intangibles — Goodwill and Other . This guidance provides the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on a review of qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative analysis. If the quantitative analysis indicates the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company measures any goodwill impairment losses as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Intangible Assets Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company determines the appropriate useful life of its intangible assets by measuring the expected cash flows of acquired assets. The estimated useful lives of intangible assets are as follows: Estimated Useful Lives Tradenames 10 Customer relationships 20 Long-term Investments The Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities consist of an equity investment and an investment without readily determinable fair value. The Company follows ASC Topic 321 (“ASC 321”), Investments – Equity Securities , using the measurement alternative to measure investments in investees that do not have readily determinable fair value and over which the Company does not have significant influence at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, if any. The Company makes a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired at each reporting date. If a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, the Company has to estimate the investment’s fair value in accordance with the principles of ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures . If the fair value is less than the investment’s carrying value, the entity has to recognize an impairment loss in earnings equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Investments in entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 323 (“ASC 323”), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures . Under the equity method, the Company initially records its investment at cost and the difference between the cost and the fair value of the underlying equity in the net assets of the equity investee is recognized as equity method goodwill, which is included in the equity method investment on the consolidated balance sheets. The equity method goodwill is not subsequently amortized and is not tested for impairment under ASC 350. The Company subsequently adjusts the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the Company’s proportionate share of each equity investee’s net income or loss into earnings after the date of investment. The Company evaluates the equity method investments for impairment under ASC 323. An impairment loss on the equity method investments is recognized in earnings when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company did not record any impairment loss on its long-term investments as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Impairment of Long-lived Assets Other Than Goodwill The Company assesses its long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Factors which may indicate potential impairment include a significant underperformance related to the historical or projected future operating results or a significant negative industry or economic trend. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If property and equipment, and intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets or asset group exceeds their fair value. The Company did not record any impairment loss on its long-lived assets other than goodwill as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the goods, which occurs at delivery. Sales taxes invoiced to customers and remitted to government authorities are excluded from net sales. The Company follows ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The Company recognizes revenue that represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This requires the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfer to a customer. The majority of the Company’s 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. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized at a specific point in time. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, revenue recognized from performance obligations related to prior periods was insignificant. Revenue expected to be recognized in any future periods related to remaining performance obligations is insignificant.

Shipping and handling costs were $7,103,131 and $5,167,163 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and $2,703,921 and $1,640,914 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes , on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company does not believe that there were any uncertain tax positions at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 (“ASU 2019-12”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , on January 1, 2021. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify various aspects related to managerial accounting for income taxes. The adoption had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Leases The Company accounts for leases following ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("Topic 842"). As a result of the Realty Acquisition (see Note 6 for additional information), nine leases previously included in the operating lease asset and liabilities balance were eliminated during consolidation. As of September 30, 2021, the balances for operating lease assets were $2,551,286 and liabilities were $2,697,704. As of December 31, 2020, the balances for operating lease assets were $931,630 and liabilities were $931,630 (see Note 11 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 finance lease liabilities, and finance lease liabilities, non-current on the 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. 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 lease 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. Earnings Per Share The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC Topic 260 (“ASC 260”), Earnings per Share . ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options, warrants and stock based compensation) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. There were 6,687 potential common shares that were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. There are no anti-dilutive potential common shares for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the three month period ended September 30, 2020. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures . ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: • Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. • Level 2 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about what assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information. Any transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy will be recognized at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurs. There were no transfers between fair value levels in any of the periods presented herein. The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, other current assets, accounts payable, bank overdraft, current portion of long-term debt, current portion of obligations under finance and operating leases, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and obligations under interest rate swap contracts approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value because of the variability of interest costs associated with these instruments and the consistency in market conditions since the loans were entered into. Derivative Financial Instrument In accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 815 ("ASC 815"), Derivatives and Hedging, d erivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company has not designated its interest rate swap ("IRS") contracts as hedges for accounting treatment. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, income or loss from fair value changes for derivatives that are not designated as hedges by management are reflected as income or loss on the statement of operations. Net amounts received or paid under the interest rate swap contracts are recognized as an increase or decrease to interest expense when such amounts are incurred. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty. Concentrations and Credit Risk Credit risk Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and derived from revenue earned from customers, and thereby exposed to credit risk. The risk is mitigated by the Company’s assessment of its customers’ creditworthiness and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances. Concentration risk There were no receivables from any one customer representing more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated gross accounts receivable at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, no supplier accounted for more than 10% of the total cost of revenue. As of September 30, 2021, there were two suppliers that accounted for a combined 33% of total outstanding advance payments. As of December 31, 2020, two suppliers accounted for a combined 40% of total outstanding advance payments, and one supplier accounted for 96% of advance payments to related parties, respectively. Immaterial Revision to Prior Period Financial Statements During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company identified errors in its accounting for the January 21, 2021 lease described in Note 10 as the 273 Lease Agreement. In its original accounting, the Company concluded that the lease was an operating lease and used an incorrect discount rate to calculate the Right of Use Asset and Obligation under operating lease balances. The Company subsequently changed the discount rate on the lease and classified the lease as a finance lease as the present value of the future cash flows associated with the lease exceeded substantially all of the fair value of the property. The Company adjusted the balances associated with the lease from Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets to Property and Equipment and from Obligations Under Operating Leases to Obligations Under Finance Leases. The revision to the March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows were as follows: • The Operating lease right of use asset was reduced by $13,675,884 from $15,993,197 to $2,317,313 as of March 31, 2021 and reduced by $13,582,834 from $16,326,011 to $2,743,177 as of June 30, 2021. • Property and equipment, net was increased by $7,770,225 from $136,043,983 to $143,814,208 as of March 31, 2021 and increased by $7,698,938 from $134,755,748 to $142,454,686 as of June 30, 2021. • The impact to total assets was a reduction of $5,905,659 from $500,800,583 to $494,894,924 as of March 31, 2021 and a reduction of $5,883,896 from $507,220,995 to $501,337,099 as of June 30, 2021. • The impact to the current portion of obligations under finance lease and current portion of obligations under operating lease are insignificant as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. • Obligations under finance lease, non-current was an increase of $7,834,773 from $703,648 to $8,538,421 as of March 31, 2021 and an increase of $7,860,634 from $630,774 to $8,491,408 as of June 30, 2021. • Obligations under operating lease, non-current was a reduction of $13,764,121 from $15,459,667 to $1,695,546 as of March 31, 2021 and a reduction of $13,745,066 from $15,930,735 to $2,185,669 as of June 30, 2021. • The impact to total liabilities was a reduction of $5,937,684 from $234,248,951 to $228,311,267 as of March 31, 2021 and a reduction of $5,915,347 from $242,241,874 to $236,326,527 as of June 30, 2021. • The impact to Net cash provided by operating activities and Net cash provided by financing activities is insignificant as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Revisions were also made to the lease footnote in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating lease costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021, three months ended June 30, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2021 were revised to $410,561, $340,551, and $751,112, respectively. The revised weighted average remaining lease term, in months, for operating leases was 48 months and 50 months as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 respectively. The revised weighted average discount rate for operating leases as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 was 2.80% and 3.15%, respectively. Finance lease costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021, three months ended June 30, 2021 and six months ended June 30, 2021 were revised to $234,849, $288,599, and $523,448, respectively. Gross Property and equipment under finance lease as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 was revised to $10,611,480 with accumulated depreciation being revised to $1,966,019 and $2,118,289 as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The weighted average remaining lease term, in months, for finance leases was revised to 295 as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. The weighted average discount rate for finance leases was revised to 6.18% as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Lastly, the revised maturities are as follows: Operating Leases Twelve months ending As reported March 31, 2021 As revised March 31, 2021 As reported June 30, 2021 As revised June 30, 2021 2022 $ 999,730 $ 717,230 $ 1,011,964 $ 706,964 2023 985,718 629,468 1,139,353 776,853 2024 856,936 475,686 964,309 576,809 2025 816,708 410,458 987,997 575,497 2026 723,859 292,609 791,576 354,076 Thereafter 17,466,321 — 17,396,355 42,534 Total Lease Payments 21,849,272 2,525,451 22,291,554 3,032,733 Less Imputed Interest (5,752,558) (201,194) (5,750,563) (267,723) Total $ 16,096,714 $ 2,324,257 $ 16,540,991 $ 2,765,010 Fi |

ACQUISITION OF B&R REALTY SUBSIDIARIES | ACQUISITION OF B&R REALTY SUBSIDIARIESOn January 17, 2020, B&R Global acquired 100% of the equity membership interests of the then subsidiaries of BRGR, which own warehouse facilities that were being leased to B&R Global for its operations in California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Washington, and Montana. Before the acquisition of BRGR Subsidiaries, the CEO of the Company, Xiao Mou Zhang, managed and owned an 8.91% interest in BRGR. The total purchase price for the acquisition was $101,269,706, based on independent appraisals of the fair market value of the properties. The Company notes that substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a group of similar assets (land and buildings all used for warehousing and distribution purposes). As such, the acquisition of the BRGR Subsidiaries would be deemed an asset acquisition under ASC 805-10-55, and the total purchase price is allocated on a relative fair value basis to the net assets acquired. The following table presents the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition: Cash $ 265,639 Automobile 33,690 Prepaids 39,193 Land 48,734,042 Buildings 53,563,835 Total assets acquired 102,636,399 Accounts payable and accrued expenses 1,366,693 Total liabilities assumed 1,366,693 Net assets acquired $ 101,269,706 |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS | GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill The changes in HF Group’s carrying amount of goodwill are presented below: Total Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 68,511,941 Impairment loss — Balance at September 30, 2021 $ 68,511,941 The Company booked approximately $406.7 million of goodwill on December 31, 2019, resulting from the completion of the Business Combination with B&R Global, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. HF Group acquired 100% of the controlling interest of B&R Global, in exchange for 30,700,000 consideration shares of HF Group Common Stock, valued at $576,699,494 based upon the closing share price of the Company’s common stock at the date of Closing on November 4, 2019. The Company's policy is to test goodwill for impairment at least annually, as of December 31, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Potential impairment indicators include (but are not limited to) macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, other relevant entity-specific events, specific events affecting the reporting unit, or sustained decrease in share price. Towards the end of first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company experienced a significant decline in business volume due to mandatory stay-at-home orders issued by governmental authorities in response to the escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company determined that the B&R Global reporting unit was very sensitive to these declines and that it was more likely than not that an impairment may exist. The Company, therefore, performed an analysis of the fair value of the B&R Global reporting unit as of March 31, 2020 using a discounted cash flow method for goodwill impairment testing purposes. Based upon the analysis, the Company concluded that the carrying value of its B&R Global reporting unit exceeded its fair value by approximately $338.2 million. As a result, the company recorded the amount as impairment loss during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company estimated the fair values of the B&R Global reporting unit using the income approach, discounting projected future cash flows based upon management’s expectations of the current and future operating environment. The calculation of the impairment charge includes substantial fact-based determinations and estimates including weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"), future revenue, profitability, perpetual growth rates and fair values of assets and liabilities. The fair value conclusions as of March 31, 2020 for the reporting unit are highly sensitive to changes in the WACC, which consider observable data about guidelines on publicly traded companies, an estimated market participant’s expectations about capital structure and risk premiums. The Company corroborated the reasonableness of the estimated reporting unit fair values by reconciling to its enterprise value and market capitalization. The Company also observed that the WACC applied on March 31, 2020 increased significantly from the original WACC value as of the acquisition date, mainly driven by the increased risk and volatility observed in the market. Volatility had primarily been due to concerns about demand for food distribution services, as restaurant activity in much of the country had been reduced to takeout and delivery offerings. Continued uncertainty about the removal or perpetuation of these restrictions and levels of consumer spending cause ongoing volatility. In addition, the fair value of the goodwill is sensitive to the changes in the assumptions used in the projected cash flows, which include forecasted revenues and perpetual growth rates, among others, all of which require significant judgment by management. The Company has used recent historical performance, current forecasted financial information, and broad-based industry and economic statistics as a basis to estimate the key assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model. These key assumptions are inherently uncertain and require a high degree of estimation and judgment and are subject to change based on future conditions, industry and global economic and geo-political factors, and the timing and success of the Company's implementation of current strategic initiatives. The Company performed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment and concluded no further impairment is required as of September 30, 2021. Acquired Intangible Assets In connection with the Business Acquisition of B&R Global, HF Group acquired $188,503,000 of intangible assets, representing tradenames and customer relationships, which have an estimated amortization period of approximately 10 years and 20 years, respectively. The components of the intangible assets are as follows: As of September 30, 2021 As of December 31, 2020 Gross Accumulated Net Gross Accumulated Net Tradenames $ 29,303,000 $ (5,616,408) $ 23,686,592 $ 29,303,000 $ (3,418,683) $ 25,884,317 Customer relationships 159,200,000 (15,256,667) 143,943,333 159,200,000 (9,286,667) 149,913,333 Total $ 188,503,000 $ (20,873,075) $ 167,629,925 $ 188,503,000 $ (12,705,350) $ 175,797,650 The Company performed a qualitative long-lived asset impairment assessment and concluded no further impairment is required as of September 30, 2021.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSThe Company utilizes interest rate swaps ("IRS") for the sole purpose of mitigating interest rate fluctuation risk associated to floating rate debt instruments (as defined in Note 9 Line of Credit, and Note 10 Long-Term Debt). The Company does not use any other derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. On August 20, 2019, HF Group entered into two IRS contracts with East West Bank (the "EWB IRS") for initial notional amounts of $1.05 million and $2.63 million, respectively. The EWB IRS contracts were entered into in conjunction with two mortgage term loans of corresponding amount that were priced at USD 1-month LIBOR (London Interbank Offering Rate) plus 2.25% per annum for the entire duration of the term loans. The EWB IRS contracts fixed the two term loans at 4.40% per annum until maturity in September 2029. On December 19, 2019, HF Group entered into an IRS contract with Bank of America (the "BOA IRS") for an initial notional amount of $2.74 million in conjunction with a newly contracted mortgage term loan of corresponding amount. The term loan was contracted at USD 1-month LIBOR plus 2.15% per annum but was fixed at 5.80% per annum resulting from the corresponding BOA IRS contract. The term loan and corresponding BOA IRS contract matures in December 2029. On June 24, 2020, HF Group entered into a forward starting IRS contract with JP Morgan Chase Bank (the "JPM IRS") for a fixed $80 million notional amount, effective from June 30, 2021 and expiring on June 30, 2025, as a means to partially hedge its existing floating rate loans exposure. On March 3, 2021, the Company unwound the JPM IRS. The contract was unwound with a view that 1-month LIBOR will continue to remain low in the foreseeable future despite the spike at the long end of the yield curve. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $718,600 in the first quarter of 2021. The Company evaluated the above mentioned interest rate swap contracts currently in place and did not designate those as cash flow hedges. Hence, the fair value change on the aforementioned interest rate swap contracts are accounted for and recognized as change in fair value of interest rate swap contracts in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has determined that the fair value of the interest rate swap obligations was $341,165 and $993,516, respectively. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. The interest rate swaps are classified as Level 3 liabilities and fair value was obtained from the respective counterparties. |

TAXES | TAXES Corporate Income Taxes (“CIT”) On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which significantly changed U.S. tax law. The Act lowered the Company’s U.S. statutory federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, while also imposing a deemed repatriation tax on deferred foreign income. The Act also created a new minimum tax on certain future foreign earnings. The Company does not expect the repatriation tax and new minimum tax on certain future foreign earnings to have any impact on the Company’s operations since it currently has no foreign income and does not expect to generate any foreign income in the future. (i) The provision for income taxes of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 consists of the following : For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30, Current income taxes Federal $ 2,721,816 $ 465,519 $ 5,571,759 $ 865,736 State 735,920 128,825 1,175,680 254,131 Current income taxes 3,457,736 594,344 6,747,439 1,119,867 Deferred income taxes (benefit) Federal (662,283) (411,044) (1,925,015) (2,329,726) State (158,009) (264,210) (200,675) (842,567) Deferred income taxes (benefit) (820,292) (675,254) (2,125,690) (3,172,293) Total provision (benefit) for income taxes $ 2,637,444 $ (80,910) $ 4,621,749 $ (2,052,426) (ii) Temporary differences and carryforwards of the Company that created significant deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: As of September 30, As of December 31, Deferred tax assets Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 296,081 $ 443,151 Inventories 680,411 481,016 Federal net operating loss 128 101,828 State net operating loss 5,203 257,490 Fair value change in interest rate swap contracts 81,628 244,622 Leases 104,503 — Accrued expenses 265,407 268,813 Total deferred tax assets 1,433,361 1,796,920 Deferred tax liabilities Property and equipment (2,314,639) (2,660,874) Intangibles assets (43,318,258) (45,461,272) Total deferred tax liabilities (45,632,897) (48,122,146) Net deferred tax liabilities $ (44,199,536) $ (46,325,226) (iii) Reconciliations of the statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate are as follows: For the Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, Federal statutory tax rate 21.0 % 21.0 % State statutory tax rate 4.2 % 0.1 % Impact of goodwill impairment loss - permanent difference — % (20.5) % U.S. permanent difference 0.1 % — % Others 0.1 % — % Effective tax rate 25.5 % 0.6 % |

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company makes regular purchases from and sales to various related parties. Related party affiliations were attributed to transactions conducted between the Company and those business entities partially or wholly owned by the Company, the Company officers and/or major shareholders. Certain related party transactions described in this note are among the issues that are being scrutinized as part of an ongoing internal investigation, and disclosures concerning particular transactions are subject to the outcome of, and conclusions that may ultimately be reached in, this ongoing investigation. Mr. Zhou Min Ni ("Mr. Ni") and Mr. Xiao Mou Zhang ("Mr. Zhang") were the Co-Chief Executive Officers as of December 31, 2020. Mr. Ni resigned from all of his official posts on February 23, 2021. Upon resignation, Mr. Ni directly owned 10.7% of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. Mr. Zhang became the sole Chief Executive Officer on February 23, 2021. Mr. Ni and his immediate family members are treated as related parties for purposes of this report because Mr. Ni is a holder of more than 10% of the Company's securities. The Company has recently evaluated Mr. Zhang's ownership interest and his relationship with certain entities that were previously classified as related parties in prior financial statements. The Company noted that four entities with ownership ranging from 5.0% to 10%, mainly restaurants, were deemed not to be related parties. The Company noted that neither Mr. Zhang nor his family members manage or participate in daily operations of those entities, and exercise no influence over them. Hence, the Company concluded that those entities do not fall under the definition of related party and were excluded from the classification accordingly. The Company also determined that its 12% ownership in Tamron (Note 4), accounted for using alternative measurement under ASC 321, did not meet the definition of related party due to the fact that the Company does not participate in Tamron's daily operations and holds no influence over it. Further, the Company evaluated Mr. Ni's ownership interest and his relationship with certain entities that were previously classified as related parties in prior financial statements. The Company was informed that two entities that were previously owned by Mr. Ni, North Carolina Good Taste Noodle, Inc.(37.67%) and Hanfeng (Fujian) Information Technology Co., Ltd. (100%), were no longer related parties in nature. The Company was informed that (a) Mr. Ni had disposed of all his equity interests in North Carolina Good Taste Noodle, Inc. on January 1, 2020, and Hanfeng (Fujian) Information Technology Co., Ltd. on September 29, 2020, and (b) neither Mr. Ni nor his family members manage or participate in daily operations of those entities and exercise no influence over them after the disposal. Hence, the Company concluded that those entities no longer fall under the definition of a related party and were excluded from the classification accordingly. However, the Company has determined it is appropriate to disclose transactions with these entities until the conclusion of the independent investigation. Total purchases made by the Company from North Carolina Good Taste Noodle, Inc. during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and total purchases were $3.9 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Accounts payable at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 to North Carolina Good Taste Noodle, Inc. were $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The related party transactions as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are identified as follows: Related Party Sales and Purchases Transactions The Company makes regular sales to and purchases from various related parties. a.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, known as the HF Foods Group Inc. 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Incentive Plan”). The 2018 Incentive Plan caters for up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance of awards to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants. The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, other stock awards, and performance awards that may be settled in stock, or other property. The Company began issuing awards under the Plan in July of 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had 350,439 time-based vesting restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding, 143,277 performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) outstanding, and 2,506,284 shares remaining available for future awards under the Plan. RSUs granted to employees vest over time based on continued service (vesting over a period between one A summary of RSU and PSU activity for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 is as follows: Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested RSUs at June 30, 2021 — $ — Granted 352,761 5.17 Forfeited 2,322 5.17 Vested — — Unvested RSUs at September 30, 2021 350,439 $ 5.17 Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested PSUs at June 30, 2021 — $ — Granted 143,277 3.82 Forfeited — — Vested — — Unvested PSUs at September 30, 2021 143,277 $ 3.82 The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares. The fair value of the RSUs and Financial PSUs are measured using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on NASDAQ Global Capital Market on the date preceding grant date. The fair value of the TSR PSUs are determined using the Monte-Carlo simulation model. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the TSR PSUs granted during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and valued under the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows: PSUs awarded July 8, 2021 PSUs awarded September 8, 2021 Risk-free interest rate 0.32% - 0.34% Expected dividend yield —% Expected term (years) 2.56 - 2.73 Expected volatility (1) 64.26% - 65.74% (1) Expected volatility is based on a 50/50 blending of (i) the average historical volatility of a select group of industry peers with a look-back period equal to the expected term, and (ii) the historical volatility of the Company with a look-back period of 1.17 years, the time from the valuation date to the date six months after the completion of the merger with B&R Global, using daily stock prices. The expected volatility of peer companies was 62.42% – 63.45%. The expected volatility of our common stock was 66.10% – 68.03%. We amortize the fair value of RSUs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award. For the PSUs, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expenses on a straight-line basis for each vesting tranche over the longer of the derived, explicit, or implicit service period for the vesting tranche. As of interim and annual reporting periods, the Financial PSUs stock-based compensation expense is adjusted based on expected achievement of performance targets, while TSR PSUs stock-based compensation expense is not adjusted. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based compensation is included in distribution, selling and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The components of stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: Three Months Ended Three Months Ended Stock-based compensation (RSUs) expense Ocean Pacific Seafood Group, Inc. $ 159,078 $ — Stock-based compensation (PSUs) expense Revolution Industry, LLC 46,355 — Total stock-based compensation expense $ 205,433 $ — Tax Benefit of stock-based compensation expense $ 50,282 $ — |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
SEGMENT REPORTING | 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 operating decision makers for making operational decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management, including the operating decision makers, review operation results by the revenue of different customers. On February 23, 2021, former co-CEO Zhou Min Ni resigned and Xiao Mou Zhang assumed the role of sole CEO. As a result, the Company reassessed its performance evaluation process and determined two relevant reporting segments - sales to independent restaurants and wholesale. Frequency, volume and profit margins are uniquely different between the two reporting segments. Segment reporting for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were recast below. All the Company's revenue was generated from its business operation in the U.S. The following table presents net sales by segment for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively: For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020 September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020 Net revenue Sales to independent restaurants $ 207,559,475 $ 134,167,324 $ 548,116,720 $ 400,060,302 Wholesale 7,982,574 5,751,618 20,353,393 20,222,072 Total $ 215,542,049 $ 139,918,942 $ 568,470,113 $ 420,282,374 For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Sales to Independent Restaurants Wholesale Total Revenue $ 207,559,475 $ 7,982,574 $ 215,542,049 Cost of revenue $ 166,638,813 $ 6,991,268 $ 173,630,081 Gross profit $ 40,920,662 $ 991,306 $ 41,911,968 Depreciation and amortization $ 4,879,618 $ 187,666 $ 5,067,284 Cash capital expenditures $ 825,473 $ 31,747 $ 857,220 For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 Sales to Independent Restaurants Wholesale Total Revenue $ 134,167,324 $ 5,751,618 $ 139,918,942 Cost of revenue $ 109,339,945 $ 5,416,139 $ 114,756,084 Gross profit $ 24,827,379 $ 335,479 $ 25,162,858 Depreciation and amortization $ 4,285,909 $ 183,733 $ 4,469,642 Cash capital expenditures $ 192,089 $ 8,235 $ 200,324 For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Sales to Independent Restaurants Wholesale Total Revenue $ 548,116,720 $ 20,353,393 $ 568,470,113 Cost of revenue $ 442,864,604 $ 19,129,646 $ 461,994,250 Gross profit $ 105,252,116 $ 1,223,747 $ 106,475,863 Depreciation and amortization $ 13,137,213 $ 487,625 $ 13,624,838 Cash capital expenditures $ 1,465,877 $ 55,010 $ 1,520,887 For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Sales to Independent Restaurants Wholesale Total Revenue $ 400,060,302 $ 20,222,072 $ 420,282,374 Cost of revenue $ 326,484,372 $ 19,047,315 $ 345,531,687 Gross profit $ 73,575,930 $ 1,174,757 $ 74,750,687 Depreciation and amortization $ 12,831,153 $ 648,583 $ 13,479,736 Cash capital expenditures $ 391,216 $ 19,072 $ 410,288 The following table presents total assets by reportable segment as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively: As of September 30, As of December 31, Total assets: Sales to independent restaurants $ 496,082,096 $ 456,721,529 Wholesale 18,421,175 27,506,076 Total Assets $ 514,503,271 $ 484,227,605 All of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the US. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES From time to time, the Company is a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. When the Company becomes aware of a claim or potential claim, it assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company records loss contingencies in its financial statements only for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Where a range of loss can be reasonably estimated with no best estimate in the range, the Company records the minimum estimated liability. If the loss is not probable or the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the specific claim if the likelihood of a potential loss is reasonably possible and the amount involved is material. The Company continuously assesses the potential liability related to the Company’s pending litigation and revises its estimates when additional information becomes available. With respect to our outstanding legal matters, we believe that the amount or estimable range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. Therefore, if one or more of these ordinary-course legal matters were resolved against us for amounts in excess of management's expectations, our results of operations and financial condition, including in a particular reporting period, could be materially adversely affected. As previously disclosed and also highlighted in Note 1, in March 2020, a short-seller report suggested certain improprieties in the Company’s operations. These allegations became the subject of two putative stockholder class actions filed on or after March 29, 2020 in the United States District Court for the Central District of California generally alleging the Company and certain of its current and former directors and officers violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making allegedly false and misleading statements (the “Class Actions”). After the second putative stockholder class action was filed, the Class Actions were consolidated. On January 19, 2021, the Company and the director and officer defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the consolidated Class Actions. On August 25, 2021, the Court granted the Motion to Dismiss with leave to amend the complaint. The Plaintiff elected not to amend his complaint, and the Court entered Judgment in favor of the Company and the director and officer defendants on September 20, 2021. The Court’s decision was not appealed, and the Class Actions are now closed. The Company was likewise named a nominal defendant and certain of the Company's current and former directors and officers were named as defendants in a shareholder derivative lawsuit filed on June 15, 2020, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint makes similar allegations as the Class Actions and alleges violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. A second virtually identical shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed on August 21, 2020 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. On November 19, 2020, the District Court for the District of Delaware transferred the second-filed derivative lawsuit to the District Court for the Central District of California. The derivative lawsuits were stayed pending the deadline to file a notice of appeal in the Class Actions. The Company intends to vigorously defend the derivative lawsuits. See Note 18-Subsequent Events In response to the allegations in the March 2020 short-seller report, the Company's Board of Directors appointed a Special Committee of Independent Directors to conduct an internal independent investigation with the assistance of counsel (the “Special Committee”). In addition, the SEC initiated a formal, non-public investigation of the Company, and the SEC informally requested, and later issued a subpoena for, documents and other information. The subpoena relates to but is not necessarily limited to the matters identified in the Class Actions. The Special Committee and the Company are cooperating with the SEC. The SEC and the Special Committee investigations are ongoing. There have been no changes to the status of these proceedings as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Refer to Independent Investigation Update in Note 1. While the Special Committee has reached no final conclusions in conjunction with its investigation, it has made a number of recommendations to management regarding improvements to Company operations and structure, including but not limited to its dealings with related parties. The Company has also instituted structural changes including the retirement of the former Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The Company now has an independent Chairman of the Board. In addition, the Company hired an in-house General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer who joined the Company on September 8, 2021 and who reports to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 9 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2021 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and have been consistently applied. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. U.S. GAAP provides guidance on the identification of VIE and financial reporting for entities over which control is achieved through means other than voting interests. The Company evaluates each of its interests in an entity to determine whether or not the investee is a VIE and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of such VIE. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company considers if the Company (1) has power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE, and (2) receives the economic benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. If deemed the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the VIE. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, FUSO is considered to be a VIE. FUSO was established solely to provide exclusive services to the Company. The entity lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from the Company, and the Company has the power to direct the VIE's activities. In addition, the Company receives the economic benefits from the entity and has concluded that the Company is a primary beneficiary. |
Noncontrolling Interests | Non-controlling InterestsU.S. GAAP requires that non-controlling interests in subsidiaries and affiliates be reported in the equity section of a company’s balance sheet. In addition, the amounts attributable to the net income (loss) of those subsidiaries are reported separately in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Use of Estimates | Uses of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, useful lives of property and equipment, lease assumptions, impairment of long-lived assets, long-term investments, impairment of goodwill, the purchase price allocation and fair value of non-controlling interests with respect to business combinations, realization of deferred tax assets, stock-based compensation, and uncertain income tax positions. |
Cash | CashThe Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or shorter to be cash equivalents. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable, netAccounts receivable represent amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Receivables are presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and determines the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of factors. When the Company is aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligation, a specific allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded, reducing the receivable to the net amount the Company reasonably expects to collect. In addition, allowances are recorded for all other receivables based on historic collection trends, write-offs and the aging of receivables. The Company uses specific criteria to determine uncollectible receivables to be written off, including, e.g., bankruptcy filings, the referral of customer accounts to outside parties for collection, and the length that accounts remain past due. |
Inventories, net | Inventories The Company’s inventories, consisting mainly of food and other food service-related products, are considered as finished goods. Inventory costs, including the purchase price of the product and freight charges to deliver it to the Company’s warehouses, are net of certain cash or non-cash consideration received from vendors. The Company adjusts its inventory balances for slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories to their net realizable value based upon inventory category, |
Property and Equipment, net | Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Following are the estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment: Estimated Useful Lives Automobiles 3 — 7 Buildings and improvements 7 — 39 Furniture and fixtures 4 — 10 Machinery and equipment 3 — 10 Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of operations in other income or expenses. |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations The Company accounts for its business combinations using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 (“ASC 805”), Business Combinations . The purchase method of accounting requires that the consideration transferred be allocated to the assets, including separately identifiable assets and liabilities the Company acquired, based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred in an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date. Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The excess of (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the non-controlling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over, (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in earnings. The Company estimates the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, its estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to future expected revenues and cash flows, useful lives, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies. Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates it has made in the past have been reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. On the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred, and are included in distribution, selling and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations of the businesses that the Company acquired are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. |
Goodwill | Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually, as of December 31, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable and annually for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as required by ASC Topic 350 (“ASC 350”), Intangibles — Goodwill and Other . This guidance provides the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on a review of qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative analysis. If the quantitative analysis indicates the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company measures any goodwill impairment losses as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible AssetsIntangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company determines the appropriate useful life of its intangible assets by measuring the expected cash flows of acquired assets. |
Long-term Investments | Long-term Investments The Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities consist of an equity investment and an investment without readily determinable fair value. The Company follows ASC Topic 321 (“ASC 321”), Investments – Equity Securities , using the measurement alternative to measure investments in investees that do not have readily determinable fair value and over which the Company does not have significant influence at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, if any. The Company makes a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired at each reporting date. If a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, the Company has to estimate the investment’s fair value in accordance with the principles of ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures . If the fair value is less than the investment’s carrying value, the entity has to recognize an impairment loss in earnings equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Investments in entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 323 (“ASC 323”), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures . Under the equity method, the Company initially records its investment at cost and the difference between the cost and the fair value of the underlying equity in the net assets of the equity investee is recognized as equity method goodwill, which is included in the equity method investment on the consolidated balance sheets. The equity method goodwill is not subsequently amortized and is not tested for impairment under ASC 350. The Company subsequently adjusts the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the Company’s proportionate share of each equity investee’s net income or loss into earnings after the date of investment. The Company evaluates the equity method investments for impairment under ASC 323. An impairment loss on the equity method investments is recognized in earnings when the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary. |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets Other Than Goodwill | Impairment of Long-lived Assets Other Than GoodwillThe Company assesses its long-lived assets such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Factors which may indicate potential impairment include a significant underperformance related to the historical or projected future operating results or a significant negative industry or economic trend. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If property and equipment, and intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets or asset group exceeds their fair value. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the goods, which occurs at delivery. Sales taxes invoiced to customers and remitted to government authorities are excluded from net sales. The Company follows ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The Company recognizes revenue that represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. This requires the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfer to a customer. The majority of the Company’s 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. The Company’s revenue streams are recognized at a specific point in time. |
Shipping and Handling Costs | Shipping and Handling CostsShipping and handling costs, which include costs related to the selection of products and their delivery to customers, are included in distribution, selling and administrative expenses. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes , on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company does not believe that there were any uncertain tax positions at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 (“ASU 2019-12”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , on January 1, 2021. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify various aspects related to managerial accounting for income taxes. The adoption had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |
Leases | Leases The Company accounts for leases following ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("Topic 842"). As a result of the Realty Acquisition (see Note 6 for additional information), nine leases previously included in the operating lease asset and liabilities balance were eliminated during consolidation. As of September 30, 2021, the balances for operating lease assets were $2,551,286 and liabilities were $2,697,704. As of December 31, 2020, the balances for operating lease assets were $931,630 and liabilities were $931,630 (see Note 11 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 finance lease liabilities, and finance lease liabilities, non-current on the 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. 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 lease 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. |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC Topic 260 (“ASC 260”), Earnings per Share |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures . ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: • Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. • Level 2 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about what assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information. Any transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy will be recognized at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurs. There were no transfers between fair value levels in any of the periods presented herein. The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, other current assets, accounts payable, bank overdraft, current portion of long-term debt, current portion of obligations under finance and operating leases, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and obligations under interest rate swap contracts approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value because of the variability of interest costs associated with these instruments and the consistency in market conditions since the loans were entered into. |
Derivative Financial Instrument | Derivative Financial Instrument In accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 815 ("ASC 815"), Derivatives and Hedging, d |
Concentrations and Credit Risk | Concentrations and Credit Risk Credit risk Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and derived from revenue earned from customers, and thereby exposed to credit risk. The risk is mitigated by the Company’s assessment of its customers’ creditworthiness and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances. Concentration risk There were no receivables from any one customer representing more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated gross accounts receivable at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” . 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 was further amended in November 2019 in “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit losses”. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including those interim periods within those fiscal years. For emerging growth companies, the effective date has been extended to fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022. The Company will adopt this ASU within the annual reporting period of December 31, 2023. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard, but based upon its preliminary assessment, does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. |
