Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Farmmi, Inc. (FAMI) reported a sharp deterioration in performance for the six months ended March 31, 2026. Revenue fell 60.4% to $6.4 million from $16.1 million, driven by weaker demand for Shiitake and Mu Er products and the cessation of corn and other edible fungi trading. Gross margin swung from a profit of $0.8 million to a gross loss of $1.1 million, mainly due to losses in the new “one-piece shipping” logistics service and lower margins on core mushroom products.

The company recorded a large $29.1 million allowance for credit losses, primarily on advances to suppliers tied to a strategic decision to substantially reduce and exit certain PRC operations, and a $7.0 million long-term investment impairment related to the same shift. As a result, net loss widened to $37.6 million from $0.3 million a year earlier. Operating cash flow moved from an inflow of $14.6 million to an outflow of $1.3 million. Farmmi ended the period with only $0.2 million in cash and disclosed that these conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, despite reporting working capital of $63.5 million and subsequent equity raises and debt reduction.

  • The company recorded a $29.1 million allowance for credit losses, mainly on advances to suppliers it no longer expects to utilize.
  • A $7.0 million long-term investment impairment loss was recognized due to reduced expectations for PRC-related investments.
  • With $0.2 million cash at March 31, 2026 and ongoing losses, management disclosed substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern.
  • Operating cash flow swung to a $1.3 million outflow from a $14.6 million inflow in the prior-year period.

allowance for credit losses financial
"Allowance for credit losses increased by approximately $29.1 million, from a $0.3 million reversal..."
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
long-term investment impairment loss financial
"Long-term investment impairment loss was approximately $7.0 million for the six months ended..."
going concern financial
"The above matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern."
Going concern is the accounting assumption that a company will keep operating and meeting its obligations for the foreseeable future. The phrase matters most when a company or its auditors disclose substantial doubt about it, a formal warning that the business may not have enough resources to continue without raising money, restructuring, or selling assets. That language in a filing or press release signals elevated financial risk.
equity method investment financial
"As a result, an equity investment loss of $431,180 was recognized for the six months ended..."
An equity method investment is an accounting way to report ownership in another company when an investor has significant influence (commonly around 20–50% of voting rights). Instead of listing the other company’s full assets and debts, the investor records its share of that company’s profits or losses on its own income statement—like keeping track of your share of a neighborhood bakery’s monthly earnings. Investors care because those shared profits, losses and changes in the investee’s value directly affect the investor’s reported earnings and balance sheet, so this method can materially change a company’s financial picture and valuation.
promissory notes financial
"As of March 31, 2026, we have $2.5 million promissory notes."
A promissory note is a written IOU in which a borrower promises to repay a specific amount to a lender, usually with stated interest and by a set date. Investors care because these notes are a formal debt claim—like holding a scheduled payment stream—so they affect a company’s borrowing costs, cash flow and credit risk; notes can be bought, sold or used as collateral, which influences liquidity and recoveries if things go wrong.
operating lease obligations financial
"Operating lease obligations | | | 18,920,505 | | | | 5,391,086..."
Operating lease obligations are the future, contractual payments a company must make for using assets it does not own—such as office space, equipment, or vehicles—under lease agreements. They matter to investors because these recurring commitments act like long-term subscriptions that reduce available cash, affect a company’s financial flexibility and risk profile, and (under current accounting rules) can influence reported liabilities and leverage metrics used to compare companies.

Revenues

 

Revenue is generated from processing, distributing, and trading dried Shiitake mushrooms, Mu Er (also known as Auricularia heimuer or black ear fungus), other edible fungi, other agricultural products trading business (e.g., tapioca, corn, cotton, and cornstarch), and logistic services.

 

The trading of agriculture products (e.g., corn, and red dates) was mainly based on market opportunity of matching suppliers and customers. Hence, the sales volume may fluctuate according to market demand and supply, and there is no pattern of such agriculture product trading.

Total revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $9.7 million, or 60.4%, to approximately $6.4 million from approximately $16.1 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

 

Revenue from sales of Shiitake decreased by $4.8 million, or 72.2%, to $1.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $6.7 million for the same period of last year. This decline was primarily driven by reduced market demand for shiitake, which led to lower customer order volumes and a corresponding drop in sales quantity.

 

Revenue from sales of Mu Er decreased by $3.4 million, or 64.9%, to $1.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $5.3 million for the same period of last year. This decline was primarily driven by reduced market demand for Mu Er, which led to lower customer order volumes and a corresponding drop in sales quantity.

 

Revenue from logistic services decreased by $0.7 million, or 20.9%, to $2.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $3.4 million for the same period of last year. Commencing in December 2024, substantially all logistics revenue was generated from the “one-piece shipping service” executed under the December 12, 2024 Overseas Warehouse Distribution Service Agreement with an unrelated third party. Under this arrangement, the Company provides end-to-end overseas warehousing and fulfillment services supported by a rented third-party-developed Warehouse Management System (WMS), which enables core capabilities across inventory governance, order orchestration, settlement reconciliation, and delivery lifecycle tracking. The period-over-period revenue variance is driven principally by diminished market operational activity, which has resulted in contracted customer order flow and a corresponding decline in total logistics throughput.

 

Revenue from sales of corn decreased by $0.8 million, or 100%, to nil for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $0.8 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was mainly attributable to no such trading of corn for the six months ended March 31, 2026, while there was trading of corn for the same period of last year.

 

Revenue from sales of other edible fungi decreased by $29,109, or 100%, to nil for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $29,109 for the same period of last year, mainly due to the decreased sales volume arising from reduced market demand for other edible fungi which resulted in a decrease of customer orders.

Cost of revenues decreased by $7.8 million, or 51.2%, to $7.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $15.3 million for the same period of last year. As illustrated in the table above, the decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in sales of shiitake and Mu Er and no trading of corns or other agricultural products, and the decrease was partially offset by the increase of $0.2 million in the cost of revenues associated with logistic services which related to “one piece shipping service” since December 2024 whereby the Company provides overseas warehousing services, final logistics services, and other related value-added services in Chino, California.

Overall gross profit decreased by $1.9 million, or 233.7%, to a gross loss of $1.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from a gross profit of $0.8 million for the same period of last year. The decrease in gross profit was mainly attributable to gross loss incurred by logistic services due to gestation period of aforementioned “one piece shipping service” commenced since December 2024, and gross profits of shiitake and Mu Er reduced by $0.6 million and $0.4 million as competitive market reduced gross margins for both shiitake and Mu Er, respectively.

 

(Allowance for) reversal of allowance for credit losses

 

Allowance for credit losses increased by approximately $29.1 million, from a $0.3 million reversal in the prior-year period to a $29.1 million expense in the current period. The increase was mainly attributable to allowance of approximately $31.7 million for advances to suppliers. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reassessed the recoverability of its advances to suppliers in connection with management’s decision to substantially reduce and exit certain operations in the PRC. Prior to this decision, the Company expected to utilize the advances through future purchases of agricultural products from the relevant suppliers. Following the strategic decision, which was finalized subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company no longer expected to utilize a significant portion of these advances through future purchases. Accordingly, the Company evaluated the amounts expected to be recovered from the suppliers and recognized an additional allowance of approximately $31.7 million during the six months ended March 31, 2026 for amounts determined not to be recoverable, as partially offset by reversal of allowance for credit losses of $2.7 million in accounts receivable due to collection of aged accounts receivable.

 

Long-term investment impairment loss

 

Long-term investment impairment loss was approximately $7.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared to nil for the same period of 2025. The impairment was primarily attributable to changes in management’s expectations regarding the recoverability of the investment in connection with a significant reduction in the Company’s core business activities in the PRC and management’s strategic decision to substantially reduce and exit certain operations in the PRC. As a result, the Company determined that the decline in value of the investment was other than temporary and recognized an impairment loss during the period.

 

Selling and distribution expenses

 

Selling and distribution expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 273.8%, to $0.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $83,321 for the same period of last year. The increase was primarily attributable to the commission and fees incurred for the “one piece shipping service” since December 2024.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.7 million, or 39.1%, to approximately $1.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $1.7 million for the same period of last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the cost cutting initiatives by the Company which reduced the general and administrative expenses.

Interest expense

 

Interest expense decreased by $0.1 million, or 58.2%, to $0.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $0.2 million for the same period of last year. The interest expenses incurred for the six months ended March 31, 2026 were primarily attributable to interest expenses incurred by promissory notes and long-term loans. This reduction is principally driven by the lower outstanding balance of promissory notes, which resulted in a corresponding decrease in the associated interest expense.

 

Amortization of debt issuance costs

 

Amortization of debt issuance costs decreased by $0.2 million, or 100%, to nil for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from $0.2 million for the same period of last year. On July 30, 2024, the Company and Atlas Sciences, LLC (“Atlas”) entered into a note purchase agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Atlas an unsecured promissory note in the original principal amount of $5,355,000 for $5,000,000 in gross proceeds.  The resulting debt discount was amortized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the promissory note and was fully recognized in fiscal year 2025. Accordingly, no corresponding amortization of debt issuance costs was recorded for the six months ended March 31, 2026.

 

Loss from equity method investment

 

On February 28, 2024, Farmmi International Limited (“Farmmi International” or the “Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an equity transfer agreement with Malong Limited, a Hong Kong company (the “Seller”) to acquire a 45% equity of Ewayforest Group Limited (the “Target”), a Hong Kong company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Seller. The Target owns 100% of the equity of Lishui Ganglisen Enterprise Management Co., Ltd, a Chinese company, which in turn owns 100% of the equity of Lishui Senbo Forestry Co., Ltd, a Chinese company (“Senbo Forestry”). Senbo Forestry is engaged in forestry management, improvement, planting and product sales. The Target had an appraised value of approximately RMB1.6 billion (approximately $220.2 million) as of December 31, 2024 based on an asset appraisal report issued by an independent third-party appraisal firm.

 

Pursuant to the agreement, Farmmi International would pay a total purchase price of RMB723,324,150 ($99,676,733) for 45% of the Target’s equity (the “Equity”). The parties had agreed that the Buyer would pay $35 million in cash and $35 million in the form of accounts receivable by March 31, 2025, with the remaining purchase price of $29,085,500 to be settled by September 2025. The parties had further agreed the date on which the Seller received the first installment of the purchase price should be deemed the closing date of the transaction. Within one month after receiving the first installment of the purchase price, the Seller should complete the procedures for amending the Target’s articles of association and transferring the Equity. The Target was also required to have a two-member board of directors with one director appointed by each of the Buyer and the Seller. The agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Buyer and the Seller, and is subject to certain customary closing conditions. However, due to Senbo Forestry’s inability to obtain a forest ownership certificate for its forest assets, the ownership of the relevant assets could not be confirmed. On September 30, 2025, Farmmi International and the Seller reached an agreement to terminate the original asset/equity acquisition transaction and to refund the consideration Farmmi International had previously paid. As a result, an equity investment loss of $431,180 was recognized for the six months ended March 31, 2025, whereas no such loss was incurred by the Company during the six months ended March 31, 2026.

 

Other income

 

Other income increased by $7,036, or 0.7%, to approximately $1.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 from approximately $1.0 million for the same period of last year. Other income was mainly generated by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries, which leased three warehouses in earning warehouse sublease rental income. There was no significant fluctuation in sublease rental income for the period concerned.

 

Gain on disposal of subsidiaries

 

On March 31, 2025, an agreement was signed to divest 100% interest in Farmmi Food and Farmmi Supply Chain to a third party for a total cash consideration of RMB20,000 ($2,754). The gain on disposal of these subsidiaries was $0.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025.

 

Net loss

 

As a result of the factors described above, net loss was $37.6 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We may need dividends and other distributions on equity from our PRC and U.S. subsidiaries to satisfy our liquidity requirements. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our PRC subsidiaries are required to set aside at least 10% of their respective accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until the total amount set aside reaches 50% of their respective registered capital. Our PRC subsidiaries may also allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to employee welfare and bonus funds at their discretion. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends.

 

Our ability to distribute dividends largely depends on earnings from our PRC subsidiaries and their ability to pay dividends out of earnings. The Company recorded a net loss of approximately $37.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026. The above matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash balance of approximately $0.2 million.

 

Management plans to address the conditions that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through (i) obtaining additional equity or debt financing and (ii) reducing cash used in operating activities. While the Company has successfully raised $8.8 million in gross proceeds through equity financings and reduced the principal balance of the July 2024 promissory note by approximately $0.6 million in the period after March 31, 2026, such changes in the Company’s liquidity condition may not be sufficient to completely remedy the existing going concern risk and cash requirements for its operations. Additionally, the Company may need additional capital in the future to fund its further expansion. If the Company determines that its cash requirements exceed the amount of cash it has on hand at the time, the Company may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to shareholders of the Company.

 

As of March 31, 2026, we had cash of $0.2 million. In assessing liquidity, management monitors and analyzes our cash on-hand, ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future, and operating and capital expenditure commitments.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had working capital of approximately $63.5 million. The Company’s working capital requirements are influenced by the level of operations, revenue generated from products and services, costs and expenses controlled, encashment of accounts receivable.

 

The Company intends to finance future working capital requirements and capital expenditures from cash generated from operating activities and funds raised from financing activities. The Company may, however, require additional cash due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions that the Company may decide to pursue. With the current working capital, the Company believes that the current cash together with cash generated from operating activities and financing activities will not be sufficient to meet the present anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures. If existing cash is insufficient to meet requirements, the Company may seek to issue debt or equity securities or obtain additional credit facilities. Financing may be unavailable in the amounts sufficient for the Company’s need or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Issuance of additional equity securities, including convertible debt securities, would dilute earnings per share. The incurrence of debt would divert cash for working capital and capital expenditures to service debt obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that restrict operations and ability to pay dividends to shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional equity or debt financing as required, the Company’s business and prospects may suffer.

 

Indebtedness. As of March 31, 2026, we have $2.5 million promissory notes. Besides this indebtedness, we did not have any finance leases or purchase commitments, guarantees, or other material contingent liabilities.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have not entered any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholders’ equity, or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity, or market risk support to such entity. Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that we provide financing, liquidity, market risk, or credit support to or engage in hedging or research and development services with us.

 

Capital Resources. The primary drivers and material factors impacting our liquidity and capital resources include our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from our operations and renew commercial bank loans, as well as proceeds from equity and debt financing, to ensure our future growth and expansion plans.

Working Capital. Total working capital as of March 31, 2026 amounted to $63.5 million, compared to $83.2 million as of September 30, 2025.

 

Capital Needs. Our capital needs include our daily working capital needs and capital needs to finance the development of our business. We have established effective collection procedures of our accounts receivable and have been able to realize or receive the refund of the advances to suppliers in the past. The Company intends to address its liquidity needs through cash generated from operations and additional debt or equity financing. We may raise additional capital through public offerings or private placements to finance our business development and to consummate any merger or acquisition, if necessary. However, there can be no assurance that such financings or acquisition opportunities will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
