EXPLANATORY NOTE
On October 26, 2018, S&W Seed Company (the "Company") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Original Form 8-K"), to disclose that it had completed its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Chromatin, Inc. (together with certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates in receivership, "Chromatin"), as well as the assumption of certain contracts and limited specified liabilities of Chromatin, for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $26.5 million.
This Form 8-K/A amends the Original Form 8-K to include the financial information required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.
The following audited special purpose financial statements are filed as Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto and are incorporated herein by reference:
(1) Independent Auditor's Report;
(2) Audited Special Purpose Statement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed as of September 30, 2018;
(3) Audited Special Purpose Statement of Revenues and Direct Expenses for the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2018;
(4) Notes to the Audited Special Purpose Financial Statements;
The following unaudited special purpose financial statements are filed as Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto and are incorporated herein by reference:
(1) Unaudited Special Purpose Statement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed as of December 31, 2017;
(2) Unaudited Special Purpose Statement of Revenues and Direct Expenses for the Year Ended December 31, 2017; and
(3) Notes to the Unaudited Special Purpose Financial Statements
Full financial statements specified in Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X are not presented because Chromatin, prior to entering receivership, had engaged in a number of complex financing and tax transactions that are not relevant to the business purchased by the Company, and because preparing financial information for certain subsidiaries of Chromatin that were not acquired by the Company would be impracticable and of no relevance to the business acquired by the Company. Therefore, such full financial statements and other financial information could not be provided without unreasonable effort and expense.
The Special Purpose Statement of Revenues and Direct Expenses reflect only those sales and revenues directly attributable to the Chromatin business. The direct expenses of Chromatin presented in these statements include cost of goods sold related to the Chromatin's sales and other direct expenses. Depreciation expense of assets used in the Chromatin business is included, but depreciation associated with assets not acquired, interest expense, legal and professional fees and income taxes have been excluded from the financial statements.
Pursuant to a letter dated October 16, 2018, the staff of the SEC stated that it would permit the Company to provide the foregoing special purpose financial statements in lieu of the full financial statements required by Regulation S-X. These financial statements do not necessarily represent the assets sold or liabilities assumed or revenues and direct expenses as if the Chromatin business had been operating as a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. In addition, the financial statements may not be indicative of the financial condition or results of operations of the Chromatin business going forward.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information:
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is filed as Exhibit 99.3 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference:
(1) Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet at September 30, 2018; and
(2) Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 and the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2018.
