Products 

 

As a garment manufacturing group, we specialize in manufacturing sportswear and outerwear. Our sportswear and outerwear product offering consists of jackets, polo shirts, t-shirts, pants, and shorts. During fiscal 2026, our primary product offerings were vests, shorts and pants, which accounted for approximately 35% of our total shipped pieces.

Manufacturing and Production

 

Our production facilities are located in Al Tajamouat Industrial City in the Amman Governorate, in the Al-Hasa District in the Tafilah Governorate, and in the Balama Sub-district in the Mafraq Governorate of Jordan.

 

Our production facilities in Al Tajamouat Industrial City in the Amman Governorate comprise six operating factories and six warehouses. Effective as of January 1, 2019, the government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan converted Al Tajamouat Industrial City into a Development Zone. Following this change, we continued to operate under benefits similar to the Qualifying Industrial Zone designation, but were subject to a 10% corporate income tax plus a 1% social contribution. Starting from January 1, 2020, the corporate income tax rate increased from 10% to 20% throughout the years. Effective January 1, 2024, we have been subject to a 20% corporate income tax rate plus a 1% social contribution. Effective from October 1, 2025, Jerash Garments has been granted tax concession at a corporate income tax rate 10% plus a 1% social contribution in accordance with the Jordanian Income Tax Law. Currently, the first factory, which we own, employs approximately 1,550 people. Its primary functions are to house our management offices, as well as production lines, trims warehouse, and printing, sewing, ironing, and packaging units. The second factory, which we lease, employs approximately 1,800 people. Its primary function is to house our administrative and human resources personnel, merchandising and accounting departments, embroidery, printing, additional production lines, trims and finished products warehouses, and sewing, ironing, packing and quality control units. The third factory, which we lease, employs approximately 200 people. Its primary functions are to perform the cutting for our products. The fourth factory (under Paramount), which we lease, currently employs approximately 1,400 people. Its primary functions are to house additional production lines. The fifth factory (under MK Garments) currently employs approximately 650 people. Its primary function is to manufacture garments for orders from customers.

 

On February 2, 2026, the Housing Bank for Trade and Finance (the “Housing Bank”) approved the Property Purchase Request submitted by Jerash Garments on January 20, 2026 for the purchase of the property located on Property No. 1326, Basin No. 3 Abu Sawwana, Al-Ruqaim Village, from the lands of South Amman, Jordan (“Property No. 1326”). The purchase was completed on February 19, 2026. Property No. 1326 will be our sixth factory in Al Tajamouat Industrial City and production is scheduled to commence in fiscal 2027.

 

Our production facility in Al-Hasa County in the Tafilah Governorate of Jordan comprises one factory, which currently employs approximately 550 people and its primary functions are to manufacture garment products per customer orders. We commenced the construction of this factory in 2018 and we started operations in November 2019. This is a joint project with the Jordanian Ministry of Labor and the Jordanian Education and Training Department. According to our agreement with these government agencies, we used this factory without paying rent through December 2022. We have continued to use the factory without paying rent since January 2023 as new arrangements with the Jordanian Ministry of Labor are still being made. See “Item 2. Properties” below for more information regarding this factory.

Our production facility in Balama Sub-district in the Mafraq Governorate comprises one factory, which currently employs approximately 150 people, and its primary functions are to manufacture garment products per customer orders. According to our agreement with these government agencies, we are allowed to use this factory without paying rent through February 2029.

 

In April 2021, we commenced construction of a 195,000-square-foot housing facility for our multi-national workforce, situated on a 49,000-square-foot site owned by us in Al Tajamouat Industrial City. In fiscal 2025, the construction was completed and our workers moved in. To meet increasing demand, we are also finalizing plans to construct an additional project on a nearby 133,000-square-foot parcel that we purchased in 2019 for $1.2 million. Two-thirds of the land will be used for our factory and the remaining one-third will be used for housing. As of the date of this annual report, we are working with engineering consultants on the architectural design of the building, taking into account the potential business growth brought about by the new business expansion with new customers such as Hansoll Group. We will carefully plan the construction investment to meet the progress of business developments.

 

Total annual capacity at our existing facilities was approximately 24 million pieces (average for product categories including t-shirts, polo shirts, pants, shorts, and jackets) as of March 31, 2026. Our production flow begins in the cutting department of our factory. Then the product is sent to the embroidery department for embroidery if applicable. From there, the product moves to be processed by the sewing unit, finishing department, quality control, and finally the ironing and packing units.

 

We do not have long-term supply contracts or arrangements with our suppliers. Most of our ultimate suppliers for raw materials, such as fabric, zippers, and labels, are designated by customers and we purchase such materials on a purchase order basis.

 

Employees

 

As of March 31, 2026, we had an aggregate of approximately 6,300 employees located in Jordan, Hong Kong, China, and the United States of America, all of which are full-time employees.

In fiscal 2026 and 2025, we depended on a few key customers for our sales, and a large portion of our sales in fiscal 2026 and 2025 were to one customer, VF Corporation.

 

We started producing garments for VF Corporation in 2012. A large portion of the products we manufacture are sold under The North Face, Timberland, and Vans brands which are owned by VF Corporation. Currently, we manufacture primarily outerwear for The North Face. Approximately 52% and 65% of our sales in fiscal 2026 and 2025 were derived from the sale of manufactured products to VF Corporation, respectively. We are not party to any long-term contracts with VF Corporation or our other customers, and our sales arrangements with our customers do not have minimum purchase requirements. As is common in our industry, VF Corporation and our other customers place purchase orders with us after we complete detailed sample development and approval processes that we and our customers have agreed upon for their purchase of the relevant manufactured garments. It is through the sample development and approval processes that we and VF Corporation and our other customers agree on the purchase and manufacture of the garments. For fiscal 2026, VF Corporation issued approximately 14,300 purchase orders to us in amounts ranging from approximately $5 to $296,000. For fiscal 2025, VF Corporation issued approximately 14,700 purchase orders to us in amounts ranging from approximately $6 to $929,000.

 

Our customers are in the retail industry, which is subject to substantial cyclical variations. Consequently, there can be no assurance that sales to current customers will continue at the current rate or at all. In addition, our annual and quarterly results may vary, which may cause our profits and the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

We continue to seek to expand and strengthen our relationship with our current customers and other brand names. However, we cannot assure you that these brands will continue to buy our products in the same volumes or on the same terms as they did in the past or that we will be successful in expanding our relationship with other brand names.

 

Competition

 

The markets for the manufacturing of sportswear and outerwear are highly competitive. The competition in those markets focuses primarily on the price and quality of the product and the level of customer service. Our products compete with products of other apparel manufacturers in Asia, Israel, Europe, the United States, and South and Central America.

 

Competition with other manufacturers in the clothing industry focuses on reducing production costs, reducing supply lead time, design, product quality, and efficiency of supply to the customer. Since production costs depend to a large extent on labor costs, in recent years most production in the industry has been moved to countries where labor costs are low. Some of our competitors have lower cost bases, longer operating histories, larger customer bases, and other advantages over us which allow them to compete with us. As described in more detail under “—Conditions in Jordan—Trade Agreements” below, we were able to sell our products manufactured at our facilities in Jordan to the United States free from customs duties and import quotas under certain conditions prior to April 5, 2025. These favorable terms enabled us to remain competitive on the basis of price. Effective from April 5, 2025, the U.S. imposed a baseline tariff of 10% on imports from almost all countries, including Jordan. Then, effective from April 9, 2025, it had announced “reciprocal” tariffs of imports from specified countries, amongst them Jordan with a prevailing rate of then 20%. These “reciprocal” tariffs are postponed for 90 days, whilst the 10% baseline tariff persists. The tariff was modified to 15% according to an executive order of presidential actions on July 31, 2025. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the “reciprocal” tariffs were illegal, and the U.S. Customs has since then stopped to impose the “reciprocal” tariff and established a new process to refund importers for voided “reciprocal” tariff. Following the ruling, the U.S. Government then invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose an across the board 10% tariff for a period of 150 days expiring in July 2026, including on the imports from Jordan. While the payment of the tariff is typically the responsibility of the importer (Jerash’s customers), the impact of the tariff on customers’ demand would be affected by the comparative levels of the tariffs on imports from Jordan compared to other countries.

According to the Association Agreement between the European Union (the “EU”) and Jordan, which came into force in May 2002, and the joint initiative on rules of origin reviewed and improved in December 2018 by the EU and Jordan, goods manufactured by us in Jordan that are subsequently shipped to EU countries are shipped free from customs duties.

 

Conditions in Jordan

 

Our manufacturing facilities are located in Jordan. Accordingly, we are directly affected by political, security, and economic conditions in Jordan.

 

From time to time, Jordan has experienced instances of civil unrest, terrorism, and hostilities among neighboring countries, including Syria and Israel. A peace agreement between Israel and Jordan was signed in 1994. Terrorist attacks, military activity, rioting, or civil or political unrest in the future could influence the Jordanian economy and our operations by disrupting operations and communications and making travel within Jordan more difficult and less desirable. Political or social tensions also could create a greater perception that investments in companies with Jordanian operations involve a high degree of risk, which could adversely affect the market and price for our common stock. Furthermore, the escalation of conflicts such as Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas, and Israel/U.S.-Iran, as well as Houthi rebel attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, may increase geopolitical tensions globally. These political or social tensions could disrupt international trade, industrial supply chains, and transportation, leading to market price volatility, and may adversely affect our business, increase operational costs, and limit our ability to secure foreign financing for our operations and capital expenditures. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Operations in Jordan—Our operations in Jordan may be adversely affected by social and political uncertainties or change, military actions, health-related risks, acts of terrorism or other geopolitical instability.” 

  

Jordan is a constitutional monarchy, but the King holds wide executive and legislative powers. The ruling family has taken initiatives that support the economic growth of the country. However, there is no assurance that such initiatives will be successful or will continue. The rate of economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and policies affecting manufacturing companies, foreign investments, currency exchange rates, and other matters affecting investments in Jordan could change as well.

  

Trade Agreements

 

Because of the Association Agreement between the EU and Jordan, which came into force in May 2002, we are able to sell our products manufactured at our facilities in Jordan to EU countries free from customs duties.

 

Because of the United States-Jordan Free Trade Agreement, which came into force on December 17, 2001, and was implemented fully on January 1, 2010, we were able to sell our products manufactured at our facilities in Jordan to the U.S. free from customs duties and import quotas under certain conditions prior to April 5, 2025. For tariff imposed by the U.S., please see “Item 1. Business— Competition.”

 

Income/Sales Tax Incentives

  

Effective January 1, 2019, Jordan’s government converted the geographical area where Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries are located from a Free Zone to a Development Zone. Development Zones are industrial parks that house manufacturing operations in Jordan. In accordance with applicable law, Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries were subject to corporate income tax in Jordan at a rate of 19% or 20% plus a 1% social contribution between January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. Effective January 1, 2024, the income tax rate increased to 20%, plus a 1% social contribution. Effective from October 1, 2025, Jerash Garments has been granted tax concession at a corporate income tax rate 10% plus a 1% social contribution in accordance with the Jordanian Income Tax Law.

In addition, Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries are subject to local sales tax of 16% on purchases. However, Jerash Garments was granted a sales tax exemption from the Jordanian Investment Commission for the period June 1, 2015 to June 1, 2018 that allowed Jerash Garments to make purchases with no sales tax charge. This exemption was extended to February 5, 2027.

 

Government Regulation

 

Our manufacturing and other facilities in Jordan and our subsidiaries outside of Jordan are subject to various local regulations relating to the maintenance of safe working conditions and manufacturing practices. Management believes that we are currently in compliance in all material respects with all such regulations. We are not subject to governmental approval of our products or manufacturing process.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

The following are factors that could have a significant impact on our operations and financial results and could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statements.

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry

 

We rely on one key customer for a large portion of our revenue. We cannot assure you that this customer or any other customer will continue to buy our products in the same volumes or on the same terms.

 

Our sales to VF Corporation (which owns brands such as The North Face, Timberland, and Vans), directly and indirectly, accounted for approximately 52% and 65% of our total sales in fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. From an accounting perspective, we are considered the principal in our arrangement with VF Corporation. We bear the inventory risk before the specified goods are transferred to a customer, and we have the right to determine the price and to change our product during the sample development process with customers in which we determine factors including material usage and manufacturing costs before confirming orders. Therefore, we present the sales and related manufacturing activities on a gross basis.

 

We are not party to any long-term contracts with VF Corporation or our other customers, and our sales arrangements with our customers do not have minimum purchase requirements. As is common in our industry, VF Corporation and our other customers place purchase orders with us after we complete detailed sample development and approval processes. It is through these sample development and approval processes that we and VF Corporation agree on the purchase and manufacture of the garments in question. In fiscal 2025, VF Corporation issued approximately 14,700 purchase orders to us in amounts ranging from approximately $6 to $929,000. In fiscal 2026, VF Corporation issued approximately 14,300 purchase orders to us in amounts ranging from approximately $5 to $296,000.  

 

We cannot assure you that our customers will continue to buy our products at all or in the same volumes or on the same terms as they have in the past. The failure of VF Corporation to continue to buy our products in the same volumes and on the same terms as in the past may significantly reduce our sales and our earnings.

 

A material decrease in the quantity of sales made to our principal customers, a material adverse change in the terms of such sales or a material adverse change in the financial condition of our principal customers could significantly reduce our sales and our earnings.

 

We cannot assure you that VF Corporation will continue to purchase our merchandise at the same historical rate, or at all, in the future, or that we will be able to attract new customers. In addition, because of our reliance on VF Corporation as our key customer and their bargaining power with us, VF Corporation has the ability to exert significant control over our business decisions, including prices.

 

Any adverse change in our relationship with VF Corporation and its owned brands, or with their strategies or reputation, would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

A large portion of our products are sold under The North Face, Timberland, and Vans brands, which are owned by VF Corporation. Any adverse change in our relationship with VF Corporation would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, our sales of those products could be materially and adversely affected if the image, reputation, or popularity of either VF Corporation, The North Face, Timberland, or Vans were to be negatively impacted.

If we lose our key customer and are unable to attract new customers, then our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected.

 

If our key customer, VF Corporation, fails to purchase our merchandise at the same historical rate, or at all, we will need to attract new customers and we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. We do not currently invest significant resources in marketing our products, and we cannot assure you that any new investments in sales and marketing will lead to the acquisition of additional customers or increased sales or profitability consistent with prior periods. If we are unable to attract new customers or customers that generate comparable profit margins to VF Corporation, then our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

If we lose our larger brand name customers, or the customers fail to purchase our products at anticipated levels, our sales and operating results will be adversely affected.

 

Our results of operations depend to a significant extent upon the commercial success of our larger brand name customers. If we lose these customers, these customers fail to purchase our products at anticipated levels, or our relationships with these customers or the brands and retailers they serve diminishes, it may have an adverse effect on our results and we may lose a primary source of revenue. In addition, we may not be able to recoup development and inventory costs associated with these customers and we may not be able to collect our receivables from them, which would negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

 

If the market share of our customers declines, our sales and earnings may decline.

 

Our sales can be adversely affected in the event that our direct and indirect customers do not successfully compete in the markets in which they operate. In the event that the sales of one of our major customers decline for any reason, regardless of whether it is related to us or to our products, our sales to that customer may also decline, which could reduce our overall sales and our earnings.

  

A natural disaster, catastrophe, pandemic, or other unexpected events could adversely affect our financial conditions and business operations.

 

The occurrence of one or more unexpected events, including war, acts of terrorism or violence, civil unrest, epidemics or pandemics, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and other forms of severe weather in the countries or regions in which we do business could adversely affect our operations and financial performance.

 

We may require additional financing to fund our operations and capital expenditures.

 

As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.8 million and restricted cash of approximately $1.7 million. There can be no assurance that our available cash, together with resources from our operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditures. In addition, our cash position may decline in the future, and we may not be successful in maintaining an adequate level of cash resources.

 

Pursuant to the DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited (“DBSHK”) facility letter dated January 12, 2022, DBSHK provided a bank facility of up to $5.0 million to Treasure Success, which was amended pursuant to a facility letter dated January 4, 2024. Pursuant to the amended agreement, DBSHK agreed to finance cargo receipt, trust receipt, account payable financing, and certain type of import and export invoice financing up to an aggregate of $5.0 million, with certain financial covenants. The DBSHK facility bears interest at 1.5% per annum over Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (“HIBOR”) for Hong Kong dollar (“HKD”) bills and 1.1% to 1.3% per annum over DBSHK’s cost of funds for foreign currency bills. The facility is guaranteed by Jerash Holdings and became available to the Company on June 17, 2022. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had $4,902,996 and $4,512,462 outstanding under the DBSHK facility, respectively.

On July 31, 2025, Bank al Etihad offered to provide a credit facility of up to $6.0 million to Jerash Garments. Pursuant to the facility, Bank al Etihad agreed to finance import invoices of up to $6.0 million with condition that such invoices are secured by letter of credit issued by customers. The facility bears an interest rate at the Prime Lending Rate announced by Bank al Etihad, currently 8% per annum. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $nil outstanding under the Bank al Etihad facility. The Bank al Etihad facility is reviewed annually.

 

On January 15, 2026, Housing Bank offered a credit facility of up to $14.0 million to Jerash Garments. Pursuant to the facility, Housing Bank agreed to finance import invoices of up to $14.0 million, with condition that such invoices are secured by letter of credit issued by customers. The facility bears an interest rate Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread, currently approximately 6.1% per annum. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $nil outstanding under the Housing Bank facility. The Housing Bank facility is reviewed annually.

 

On April 9, 2026, the Company signed a credit facility agreement offered by Capital Bank of Jordan (“Capital Bank”). Pursuant to the facility, Capital Bank agreed to finance import invoices of up to $7.5 million with condition that such invoices are secured by letter of credit issued by customers. The facility bears an SOFR interest rate plus a spread, with minimum 5% interest rate annually. The Capital Bank facility is reviewed annually.

 

In connection with the Property Purchase Request of Property No. 1326, on January 28, 2026, Jerash Garments entered into a loan agreement with the Housing Bank to finance the acquisition of Property No. 1326. Pursuant to the loan agreement, the Housing Bank agreed to provide Jerash Garments with a loan in the principal amount of JOD 2,000,000 (approximately $2,820,000). The loan bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum, calculated on the daily outstanding balance and charged monthly. Following a grace period ending January 31, 2027, the loan is repayable in 96 monthly installments of JOD 20,833 each, with the first installment due on February 1, 2027. The loan is secured by a first-priority mortgage on Property No. 1326, valued at JOD 5,500,000.

 

In addition, we may be required to seek additional debt or equity financing in order to support our growing operations. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on satisfactory terms, or at all, and any new equity financing could have a substantial dilutive effect on our existing stockholders. If we cannot obtain additional financing, we may not be able to achieve our desired sales growth, and our results of operations would be negatively affected.

 

We may have conflicts of interest with our affiliates and related parties, and in the past we have engaged in transactions and entered into agreements with affiliates that were not negotiated at arms’ length.

 

We have engaged, and may in the future engage, in transactions with affiliates and other related parties. These transactions may not have been, and may not be, on terms as favorable to us as they could have been if obtained from non-affiliated persons. While an effort has been made and will continue to be made to obtain services from affiliated persons and other related parties at rates and on terms as favorable as would be charged by others, there will always be an inherent conflict of interest between our interests and those of our affiliates and related parties. See also “Note 11—Related Party Transactions.” If we engage in related party transactions on unfavorable terms, our operating results will be negatively impacted.

  

We are dependent on a product segment comprised of a limited number of products.

 

Presently, we generate revenue primarily from manufacturing and exporting sportswear and outerwear. A shift in demand from such products may reduce the growth of new business for our products, and reduce existing business in those products. If demand for sportswear and outerwear were to decline, we may endeavor to expand or transition our product offerings to other segments of the clothing retail industry. There can be no assurance that we would be able to successfully make such an expansion or transition, or that our sales and margins would not decline in the event we made such an expansion or transition.

 

Our revenue and cash requirements are affected by the seasonal nature of our business.

 

We used to have stronger seasonality due to higher values of fall and winter orders normally shipped in the first two quarters of our fiscal years. We have been working on smoothing out seasonality through expansions of customer base and product offerings. In fiscal 2026, we managed to reverse the trend to have higher sales in the second half of the year through the introduction of a new customer and expansion in sales of some existing customers for spring and summer season orders.  Due to the nature of our relationships with customers and our use of purchase orders to conduct our business, our revenue may vary from period to period.

Changes in our product mix and the geographic destination of our products or source of our supplies may impact our cost of goods sold, net income, and financial position.

 

From time to time, we experience changes in the product mix and the geographic destination of our products. To the extent our product mix shifts from higher revenue items, such as jackets, to lower revenue items, such as pants, our cost of goods sold as a percentage of gross revenue will likely increase. In addition, if we sell a higher proportion of products in geographic regions where we do not benefit from free trade agreements or tax exemptions, our gross margins will fall. If we are unable to sustain consistent product mix and geographic destinations for our products, we could experience negative impacts to our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our direct and indirect customers are in the clothing retail industry, which is subject to substantial cyclical variations and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Our direct and indirect customers are in the clothing retail industry, which is subject to substantial cyclical variations and is strongly affected by any downturn or slowdown in the general economy. Factors in the clothing retail industry that may influence our operating results from quarter to quarter include:

 

the volume and timing of customer orders we receive during the quarter;

 

  the timing and magnitude of our customers’ marketing campaigns;

 

  the loss or addition of a major customer or of a major retailer nomination;

 

  the availability and pricing of materials for our products;

 

  the increased expenses incurred in connection with introducing new products;

 

  currency fluctuations;

 

  political factors that may affect the expected flow of commerce; and

 

  delays caused by third parties.

  

In addition, uncertainty over future economic prospects could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Many factors affect the level of consumer spending in the clothing retail industry, including, among others:

 

  general business conditions;

 

  interest rates;

 

  the availability of consumer credit;

 

  taxation; and

 

  consumer confidence in future economic conditions.

 

Consumer purchases of discretionary items, including our products, may decline during recessionary periods and also may decline at other times when disposable income is lower. Consequently, our customers may have larger inventories of our products than expected, and to compensate for any downturn they may reduce the size of their orders, change the payment terms, limit their purchases to a lower price range, and try to change their purchase terms, all of which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

The clothing retail industry is subject to changes in fashion preferences. If our customers misjudge a fashion trend or the price which consumers are willing to pay for our products decreases, our revenue could be adversely affected.

 

The clothing retail industry is subject to changes in fashion preferences. We design and manufacture products based on our customers’ judgment as to what products will appeal to consumers and what price consumers would be willing to pay for our products. Our customers may not be successful in accurately anticipating consumer preferences and the prices that consumers would be willing to pay for our products. Our revenue will be reduced if our customers are not successful, particularly if our customers reduce the volume of their purchases from us or require us to reduce the prices at which we sell our products.

If we experience product quality or late delivery problems, or if we experience financial problems, our business will be negatively affected.

 

We may from time to time experience difficulties in making timely delivery of products of acceptable quality. Such difficulties may result in cancellation of orders, customer refusal to accept deliveries, or reductions in purchase prices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will not experience difficulties with manufacturing our products.

 

We face intense competition in the worldwide apparel manufacturing industry.

 

We compete directly with a number of manufacturers of sportswear and outerwear. Some of these manufacturers have lower cost bases, longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater geographical proximity to customers, or greater financial and marketing resources than we do. Increased competition, direct or indirect, could reduce our revenue and profitability through pricing pressure, loss of market share, and other factors. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors, as the market for our products evolves and the level of competition increases. We believe that our business will depend upon our ability to provide apparel products of good quality and meeting our customers’ pricing and delivery requirements, and our ability to maintain relationships with our major customers. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in this regard.

 

We have entered into joint ventures with third parties, and we may continue to do so in the future. This may subject us to various risks, including limited decision-making authority, reliance on our joint venture partners’ financial condition, the risk of disputes with our joint venture partners, and the risk of failing to achieve profitability through such business.

 

As of the date of this annual report, we have entered into two joint ventures with third parties, which joint ventures are in the process of being dissolved. Please refer to “Item 1. Business—Organizational structure” for more information. Once we enter into any joint ventures, we will have limited decision-making authority and we may face the risk of disputes with our joint venture partners. This includes potential deadlocks in making major decisions and restrictions on our ability to exit the joint venture. Any disputes that arise between us and any of our joint venture partners may result in litigation or arbitration. We may also face risks associated with the financial condition of our joint venture partners, including the risk of bankruptcy and/or failure to fund their share of required capital contributions. As a result, we may be exposed to liabilities that exceed our share of any joint venture. Our joint venture partners may also have business interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours and may be able to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives. In specific circumstances, we may be liable for the actions of any joint venture partners. Any of these situations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 

 

Furthermore, we cannot assure that we may succeed in doing business through any future joint ventures. If any future joint venture does not achieve expected level of production or profitability, we will not be able to adequately manage our growth following the establishment of such business, and our results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

 

Our results of operations are subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

 

Exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Jordanian Dinar (“JOD”), Hong Kong dollar, or Chinese Yuan (“CNY”), as well as inflation in Jordan, Hong Kong, or the PRC, may negatively affect our earnings. A substantial majority of our revenue and a substantial portion of our expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, a significant portion of the expenses associated with our Jordanian, Hong Kong, or PRC operations, including personnel and facilities-related expenses, are incurred in JOD, HKD, or CNY, respectively. Consequently, inflation in Jordan, Hong Kong, or the PRC will have the effect of increasing the dollar cost of our operations in Jordan, Hong Kong, or the PRC, respectively, unless it is offset on a timely basis by a devaluation of JOD, HKD, or CNY, as applicable, relative to the U.S. dollar. We cannot predict any future trends in the rate of inflation in Jordan, Hong Kong, or the PRC or the rate of devaluation of JOD, HKD, or CNY, as applicable, against the U.S. dollar. In addition, we are exposed to the risk of fluctuation in the value of JOD, HKD, CNY vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar. There can be no assurance that JOD or HKD will remain effectively pegged to the U.S. dollar. Any significant appreciation of JOD, HKD, or CNY against the U.S. dollar would cause an increase in our JOD, HKD, or CNY expenses, as applicable, as recorded in our U.S. dollar denominated financial reports, even though the expenses denominated in JOD, HKD, or CNY, as applicable, will remain unchanged. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations in currency exchange rates in countries other than Jordan where we operate and do business may also negatively affect our earnings.

 

11


 

We are subject to the risks of doing business abroad.

 

Almost all of our products are manufactured outside the United States, at our subsidiaries’ production facilities in Jordan. Foreign manufacturing is subject to a number of risks, including work stoppages, transportation delays and interruptions, political instability, foreign currency fluctuations, economic disruptions, expropriation, nationalization, the imposition of tariffs and import and export controls, changes in governmental policies (including U.S. policies towards Jordan), and other factors, which could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, we may be subject to risks associated with the availability of and time required for the transportation of products from foreign countries. The occurrence of certain of these factors may delay or prevent the delivery of goods ordered by customers, and such delay or inability to meet delivery requirements would have a severe adverse impact on our results of operations and could have an adverse effect on our relationships with our customers.

 

Our ability to benefit from the lower labor costs in Jordan will depend on the political, social, and economic stability of Jordan and in the Middle East in general. We cannot assure you that the political, economic, or social situation in Jordan or in the Middle East in general will not have a material adverse effect on our operations, especially in light of the potential for hostilities in the Middle East. See “—Risks Related to Operations in Jordan—Our operations in Jordan may be adversely affected by social and political uncertainties or change, military actions, health-related risks, acts of terrorism or other geopolitical instability.” The success of the production facilities also will depend on the quality of the workmanship of laborers and our ability to maintain good relations with such laborers in these countries. We cannot guarantee that our operations in Jordan or any new locations outside of Jordan will be cost-efficient or successful.

 

Our business could suffer if we violate labor laws or fail to conform to generally accepted labor standards or the ethical standards of our customers.

 

We are subject to labor laws issued by the Jordanian Ministry of Labor for our facilities in Jordan. In addition, many of our customers require their manufacturing suppliers to meet their standards for working conditions and other matters. If we violate applicable labor laws or generally accepted labor standards or the ethical standards of our customers by, for example, using forced or indentured labor or child labor, failing to pay compensation in accordance with local law, failing to operate our factories in compliance with local safety regulations, or diverging from other labor practices generally accepted as ethical, we could suffer a loss of sales or customers. In addition, such actions could result in negative publicity and may damage our reputation and discourage retail customers and consumers from buying our products.

  

Our products may not comply with various industry and governmental regulations and our customers may incur losses in their products or operations as a consequence of our non-compliance.

 

Our products are produced under strict supervision and controls to ensure that all materials and manufacturing processes comply with the industry and governmental regulations governing the markets in which these products are sold. However, if our controls fail to detect or prevent non-compliant materials from entering the manufacturing process, our products could cause damages to our customers’ products or processes and could also result in fines being incurred. The possible damages, replacement costs, and fines could significantly exceed the value of our products and these risks may not be covered by our insurance policies.

 

12


 

We depend on our suppliers for machinery and maintenance of machinery. We may experience delays or additional costs satisfying our production requirements due to our reliance on these suppliers.

 

We purchase machinery and equipment used in our manufacturing process from third-party suppliers. If our suppliers are not able to provide us with maintenance or additional machinery or equipment as needed, we might not be able to maintain or increase our production to meet any demand for our products, which would negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We are a holding company and rely on dividends, distributions, and other payments, advances, and transfers of funds from our subsidiaries to meet our obligations.

 

We are a holding company that does not conduct any business operations of our own. As a result, we rely on cash dividends and distributions and other transfers from our operating subsidiaries to meet our obligations. The deterioration of income from, or other available assets of, our operating subsidiaries for any reason could limit or impair their ability to pay dividends or other distributions to us, which in turn could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Periods of sustained economic adversity and uncertainty could negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Disruptions in the financial markets, such as what occurred in the global markets in 2008, may adversely impact the availability and cost of credit for our customers and prospective customers, which could result in the delay or cancellation of customer purchases. In addition, disruptions in the financial markets may have an adverse impact on regional and world economies and credit markets, which could negatively impact the availability and cost of capital for us and our customers. These conditions may reduce the willingness or ability of our customers and prospective customers to commit funds to purchase our services or products, or their ability to pay for our services after purchase. These conditions could result in bankruptcy or insolvency for some customers, which would impact our revenue and cash collections. These conditions could also result in pricing pressure and less favorable financial terms to us and our ability to access capital to fund our operations.

 

Risks Related to Operations in Jordan

 

We are affected by conditions to, and possible reduction of, free trade agreements.

 

Because of the Association Agreement between the EU and Jordan, we are able to sell our products manufactured at our facilities in Jordan to EU countries free from customs duties. If there is a change in such benefits or if such agreement were terminated, our profitability may be reduced.

 

Because of the United States-Jordan Free Trade Agreement, we were able to sell our products manufactured at our facilities in Jordan to the U.S. free from customs duties and import quotas under certain conditions prior to April 2025.

 

Effective from April 5, 2025, the U.S. imposed a baseline tariff of 10% on imports from almost all countries, including Jordan. Then, effective from April 9, 2025, it had announced “reciprocal” tariffs of imports from specified countries, amongst them Jordan with a prevailing rate of then 20%. These “reciprocal” tariffs are postponed for 90 days, whilst the 10% baseline tariff persists. Up to the date of this annual report, the tariff was modified to 15% according to an executive order of presidential actions on July 31, 2025. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the “reciprocal” tariffs were illegal, and the U.S. Customs has since then stopped to impose the “reciprocal” tariff and established a new process to refund importers for voided “reciprocal” tariff. Following the ruling, the U.S. Government invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose an across the board 10% tariff for a period of 150 days expiring in July 2026. Imports from Jordan are also subject to this tariff. While the payment of the tariff is typically the responsibility of the importer (Jerash’s customers), the impact of the tariff on customers’ demand would be affected by the comparative levels of the tariffs on imports from Jordan compared to other.

 

It remains unclear what specifically President Trump would or would not do with respect to trade agreements, tariffs, and duties relating to products manufactured in Jordan during his current term. If President Trump takes action or publicly speaks out about the need to terminate or re-negotiate existing free trade agreements on which we rely, or in favor of restricting free trade or increasing tariffs and duties applicable to our products, such actions may adversely affect our sales and have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and cash flows.

Our results of operations would be materially and adversely affected in the event we are unable to operate our principal production facilities in Jordan.

 

All of our manufacturing process is performed in a complex of production facilities located in Jordan. We have no effective back-up for these operations and, in the event that we are unable to use the production facilities located in Jordan as a result of damage or for any other reason, our ability to manufacture a major portion of our products and our relationships with customers could be significantly impaired, which would materially and adversely affect our results of operation.

 

Our operations in Jordan may be adversely affected by social and political uncertainties or change, military actions, health-related risks, acts of terrorism, or other geopolitical instability.

 

From time to time, Jordan has experienced instances of civil unrest, terrorism, and hostilities among neighboring countries, including Syria and Israel. A peace agreement between Israel and Jordan was signed in 1994. Terrorist attacks, military activity, rioting, or civil or political unrest in the future could influence the Jordanian economy and our operations by disrupting operations and communications and making travel within Jordan more difficult and less desirable. In late May 2018, protests about a proposed tax bill began throughout Jordan. On June 5, 2018, King Abdullah II of Jordan responded to the protests by removing and replacing Jordan’s prime minister. If political uncertainty rises in Jordan, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be negatively impacted.

 

Political or social tensions also could create a greater perception that investments in companies with Jordanian operations involve a high degree of risk, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. We do not have insurance for losses and interruptions caused by terrorist attacks, military conflicts, and wars, which could subject us to significant financial losses. The realization of any of these risks could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

Furthermore, global markets have recently experienced volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions, including the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East. Specifically, Russian military forces initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, leading to sustained conflict and disruption. See “—Risk Factors Relating to our Securities—We are currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital market disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the confrontations in the Middle East, including conflicts between Israel and Hamas, and between Iran and Israel. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the conflict in Ukraine or any other geopolitical tensions.” Additionally, on October 7, 2023, Hamas militants and members of other terrorist organizations infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of terror attacks on civilian and military targets, leading to a declaration of war by Israel. Subsequently, there have been disruptions in the region. The intensity and duration of the current Israel-Hamas war and the larger regional conflict are difficult to predict, as are the economic implications on our business and operations, the global supply chain, and global geopolitical stability.

 

Since November 2023, Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi Rebels have intensified attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, targeting ships from over 40 nations, including Jordan. The Red Sea turmoil has led to higher logistic costs for us to import raw material. Furthermore, we have incurred extra production costs to adhere to customers’ delivery schedules and mitigate the impact of delayed arrivals of raw materials caused by the aforementioned logistic disruption. If these attacks continue or escalate, we may be forced to reroute shipments around the Cape of Good Hope, which will result in higher shipping costs and delays. Additionally, these disruptions could lead to increased shipping insurance premiums and elevated global fuel prices, which will further drive up our transportation expenses.

 

Since June 2025, the conflict between Israel and Iran has escalated. In March 2026, military conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran increased geopolitical instability internationally and, to date, increased armed conflicts in the Middle East, which has had a significant effect on global energy and capital markets. These direct military engagements, proxy activities, and broader regional tensions could have significant adverse effects on Jordan’s political and economic environment, and consequently, on our business operations. Further intensification of the conflict could result in regional economic instability, potentially disrupting trade routes, supply chains, and cross-border commerce. Heightened military activity could also create security risks for our facilities, employees, and customers, potentially leading to business interruptions, increased operating costs, or damage to physical assets. In response to regional threats, the government of Jordan may implement new regulations, restrictions, or emergency measures, which could affect our ability to conduct business as usual. Currently, both of the ports of Aqaba in Jordan and Haifa in Israel, which are the main ports for Jerash’s imports of raw materials and export of garment products, are operating as normal.

While we do not have any employees, staff, consultants, operations, materials, or equipment located in Israel, Iran, Ukraine, Russia, or Belarus, all of our manufacturing processes are performed in a complex of production facilities located in Jordan. This situation could adversely affect our business or the services being provided to us due to concerns about conflict in the Palestinian territories and broader regional instability. For example, when Hamas launched its attack on October 7, 2023, it had an unfavorable impact on the Jordanian street and the country’s national security. Similarly, escalating tensions involving Iran, including disruptions to strategic airspaces and critical maritime routes, such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, have contributed to increases in the price of oil and gas, disruptions to global supply chains, and heightened market uncertainty. Despite bilateral cooperation between Jordan and the United States that may contribute to assisting the conflicting parties in ultimately achieving peace and security, we cannot assure that our business operations will not be adversely impacted by such disputes.

 

Any of the aforementioned factors could affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results. The extent and duration of military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial.

 

We may face interruption of production and services due to increased security measures in response to terrorism.

 

Our business depends on the free flow of products and services through the channels of commerce. In response to terrorists’ activities and threats aimed at the United States, transportation, mail, financial, and other services may be slowed or stopped altogether. Extensive delays or stoppages in transportation, mail, financial, or other services could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Furthermore, we may experience an increase in operating costs, such as costs for transportation, insurance, and security as a result of the activities and potential delays. We may also experience delays in receiving payments from payors that have been affected by the terrorist activities. The United States economy in general may be adversely affected by terrorist activities and any economic downturn could adversely impact our results of operations, impair our ability to raise capital, or otherwise adversely affect our ability to grow our business.

  

We are subject to regulatory and political uncertainties in Jordan.

 

We conduct substantially all of our business and operations in Jordan. Consequently, government policies and regulations, including tax policies, in Jordan will impact our financial performance and the market price of our common stock.

 

Jordan is a constitutional monarchy, but the King holds wide executive and legislative powers. The ruling family has taken initiatives that support the economic growth of the country. However, there is no assurance that such initiatives will be successful or will continue. The rate of economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and policies affecting manufacturing companies, foreign investments, currency exchange rates, and other matters affecting investments in Jordan could change as well. A significant change in Jordan’s economic policy or any social or political uncertainties that impact economic policy in Jordan could adversely affect business and economic conditions in Jordan generally and our business and prospects.

 

If we violate applicable anti-corruption laws or our internal policies designed to ensure ethical business practices, we could face financial penalties and reputational harm that would negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We are subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws in the United States and Jordan. Jordan’s reputation for potential corruption and the challenges presented by Jordan’s complex business environment, including high levels of bureaucracy, red tape, and vague regulations, may increase our risk of violating applicable anti-corruption laws. We face the risk that we, our employees, or any third parties such as our sales agents and distributors that we engage to do work on our behalf may take action determined to be in violation of anti-corruption laws in any jurisdiction in which we conduct business, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the “FCPA”). Any violation of the FCPA or any similar anti-corruption law or regulation could result in substantial fines, sanctions, civil or criminal penalties, and curtailment of operations that might harm our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Our stockholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests and exercising their rights as a stockholder of ours because we conduct substantially all of our operations in Jordan and certain of our officers and directors reside outside of the United States.

 

Certain of our officers and directors reside outside the United States. Therefore, our stockholders may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments, or bringing original actions in any of these jurisdictions based upon U.S. laws, including the federal securities laws or other foreign laws against us, our officers, and directors. Furthermore, we conduct substantially all of our operations in Jordan through our operating subsidiaries. Because the majority of our assets are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or certain of our directors and officers may not be collectible within the United States.

 

Risk Factors Relating to Our Securities

 

If we fail to comply with the continuing listing standards of the Nasdaq, our common stock could be delisted from the exchange.

 

If we were unable to meet the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), our common stock could be delisted from the Nasdaq. Any such delisting of our common stock could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and less coverage of us by securities analysts, if any. Also, if in the future we were to determine that we need to seek additional equity capital, being delisted from Nasdaq could have an adverse effect on our ability to raise capital in the public or private equity markets.

   

Future sales and issuances of our common stock or rights to purchase common stock could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

We may issue additional securities in the future. Pursuant to our amended and restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan, we may issue up to 1,784,250 shares of common stock to certain members of our management and key employees. As of the date of this annual report, 121,310 shares of common stock remain available for issuance under our amended and restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan.

 

Future sales and issuances of our common stock or rights to purchase our common stock could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. We may sell common stock, convertible securities, and other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner as we may determine from time to time. If we sell any such securities, our stockholders may be materially diluted. New investors in any future transactions could gain rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our common stock, our stock price and trading volume of our common stock could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us, our industry, and our market. If no analyst elects to cover us and publish research or reports about us, the market for our common stock could be severely limited and our stock price could be adversely affected. In addition, if one or more analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. If one or more analysts who elect to cover us issue negative reports or adversely change their recommendations regarding our common stock, the market price of our common stock could decline.

The requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), may strain our resources, increase our costs, and distract management, and we may be unable to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner.

 

We are required to comply with the laws, regulations, requirements, and certain corporate governance provisions under the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Complying with these statutes, regulations, and requirements occupies a significant amount of time of our board of directors and management, significantly increases our costs and expenses, and makes some activities more time-consuming and costly. As a reporting company, we are:

 

  instituting a more comprehensive compliance function;

 

  preparing and distributing periodic and current reports under the federal securities laws;

 

  establishing and enforcing internal compliance policies, such as those related to insider trading; and

 

  involving and retaining outside counsel and accountants to a greater degree than before we became a reporting company.

 

Our ongoing compliance efforts increase general and administrative expenses and may divert management’s time and attention from the development of our business, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

  

If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our business and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

 

We have been required to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act beginning with the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The process of designing and implementing internal controls over financial reporting may divert our internal resources and take a significant amount of time and expense to complete.

 

In connection with the preparation and external audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, we identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and have formulated plans for remedial measures. In the assessment in fiscal 2026, the management concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our internal control over financial reporting was effective after review and testing of the effectiveness of the remedial actions. See “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.”

 

However, our management team cannot guarantee that our internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all possible errors. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the possibility that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and subject to simple error or mistake. Furthermore, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, measures of control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected. 

 

We incur and will continue to incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of being a public company.

 

As a public company listed in the United States, we incur, and will continue to incur, now that we have ceased to be an “emerging growth company,” significant legal, accounting, and other costs. These costs could negatively affect our financial results. In addition, changing laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including regulations implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, may increase legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations, and standards are subject to varying interpretations and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies.

 

17


 

We are committed to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If we do not comply with new laws, regulations, and standards, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

 

Failure to comply with these rules might also make it more difficult for us to obtain some types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we might be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, on committees of our board of directors or as members of senior management.

  

We are currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital market disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy and capital markets resulting from the conflict in Ukraine or any other geopolitical tensions, including the ongoing confrontations in the Middle East, such as the conflicts between the United States, Iran and Israel and between Israel and Hamas.

 

U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the start of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops was reported. Although the length and impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the conflict in Ukraine could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, and supply chain interruptions. In March 2026, military conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran increased geopolitical instability internationally and, to date, increased armed conflicts in the Middle East, which has had a significant effect on global energy and capital markets.

 

The military conflict in Ukraine has led to sanctions and other penalties being levied by the United States, European Union, and other countries against Russia. Additional potential sanctions and penalties have also been proposed and/or threatened. Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain additional funds. In addition, in managing an organization operating globally, we are subject to the risks and challenges related to the potential to subject our business to materially adverse consequences should the situation escalate beyond its current scope, including, among other potential impacts, the geographic proximity of the situation relative to the Middle East, where a material portion of our business is conducted.

 

Although our business has not been materially impacted by the ongoing military conflict between Russian and Ukraine and military actions in the Middle East to date, it is impossible to predict the extent to which our operations, or those of our suppliers and manufacturers, will be impacted in the short and long term, or the ways in which the conflict may impact our business. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial. Any such disruptions may also magnify the impact of other risks described in this annual report.

We may be adversely affected by the effects of inflation and a potential recession.

 

Inflation has the potential to adversely affect our liquidity, business, financial condition, and results of operations by increasing our overall cost structure, particularly if we are unable to achieve commensurate increases in the prices we charge our customers. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, shipping costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor, weakening exchange rates, and other similar effects. As a result of inflation, we have experienced and may continue to experience, cost increases. In addition, poor economic and market conditions, including a potential recession, may negatively impact market sentiment, decreasing the demand for sportswear and outerwear, which would adversely affect our operating income and results of operations. If we are unable to take effective measures in a timely manner to mitigate the impact of the inflation as well as a potential recession, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. 

 

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

 

None.

 

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

 

Risk Management and Strategy

 

Cybersecurity is a vital aspect of maintaining the trust of our customers and employees. We have instituted a comprehensive cybersecurity risk management program that employs various methods to monitor and assess our threat environment and risk profile. These methods include the use of manual and automated tools, conducting scans of the threat environment, evaluating our and our industry’s risk profile, evaluating threats reported to us and conducting vulnerabilities assessments. We have company-wide policies and procedures in place that further enhance our ability to identify and manage cybersecurity risks. Our employees receive ongoing training under our security policies.

  

Annual risk assessments and penetration testing are primarily performed by our internal staff, and we have not engaged any third parties in connection with such processes except that we have an external Management Information Systems consultant, or MIS consultant, who provides advice to our CEO in the review of test results. We believe these tests are useful tools for maintaining a robust cybersecurity program to protect our investors, customers, employees, vendors, and intellectual property. The results of these tests are presented annually to the CEO, with support provided by our external MIS consultant, for review to ensure compliance with cybersecurity standards.

 

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, we have not identified any risks from cybersecurity threats that have materially affected our business operations or financial conditions.

 

Governance

 

Our CEO, MIS consultant, and MIS supervisor oversee risk management to ensure that the Company’s policies and procedures are functioning as intended to protect the Company’s information systems from cybersecurity threats.

 

More specifically, MIS supervisor is responsible for identifying and assessing cybersecurity risks on an ongoing basis, establishing processes designed to ensure that such potential cybersecurity risk exposures are monitored, putting in place appropriate mitigation and remediation measures, and maintaining cybersecurity programs. Our cybersecurity programs are managed under the direction of CEO and MIS consultant, and MIS supervisor monitors the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity risks. MIS supervisor regularly updates the CEO on the Company’s cybersecurity programs, material cybersecurity risks and mitigation strategies and provides regular cybersecurity updates.

Item 2. Properties.

 

Jerash Garments and Kawkab own three industrial buildings of approximately 136,000, 79,000 and 76,000 square feet, respectively, a dormitory building with a kitchen area of approximately 195,000 square feet, and one piece of land of approximately 133,000 square feet in Al Tajamouat Industrial City. We lease additional space totaling approximately 536,000 square feet in three industrial buildings in Al Tajamouat Industrial City. In addition, we lease space for our workers in dormitories located inside and outside of Al Tajamouat Industrial City.

  

Treasure Success owns an office space in Hong Kong through acquisition of Ever Winland on August 29, 2022. See “—Item 1. Business—Organizational Structure.”

 

In 2018, we commenced a project to build a 54,000 square-foot factory in Al-Hasa County in the Tafilah Governorate of Jordan, which started operation in November 2019. This project is a joint project with the Jordanian Ministry of Labor and the Employment and Training Department in Jordan. The Ministry of Labor financed the building of the factory and the Employment and Training Department supported 50% of the workers’ salaries, as well as transportation and social security costs in the first 12 months following the completion of the project. We used the factory without paying rent through December 2022. We have continued to use the factory without paying rent since January 2023 as new arrangements with the Jordanian Ministry of Labor are still being made.

  

In April 2021, we commenced construction on a 195,000-square-foot housing facility for our multi-national workforce, situated on a 49,000-square-foot site owned by us, located in Al Tajamouat Industrial City. In fiscal 2025, the construction completed and our workers have moved in. To meet increasing demand, we are also finalizing plans to construct an additional project on a nearby 133,000-square-foot parcel that we purchased in 2019 for $1.2 million, with 2/3 of the land expected to be allocated for the establishment of our seventh factory and 1/3 for housing purposes. As of the date of this annual report, we are working with engineering consultants to proceed with the architectural design of these buildings. However, the execution of this construction plan will depend on the progress of the Company’s business development and an ongoing assessment of customer order condition.

 

On January 1, 2021, Jiangmen Treasure Success entered into a factory lease agreement with an independent third party for a term of five years. Upon expiration of the lease, Jiangmen Treasure Success entered into a new factory lease agreement for the same property with the same independent third party on January 1, 2026. The lease has a five-year term with monthly rent amount of CNY66,353 (approximately $9,600) for the first year, and 3% further annual increments starting from the second year.

 

On June 24, 2021, we entered into an agreement through Jerash Garments to acquire all of the stock of MK Garments in order to operate our manufacturing facility in Al Tajamouat Industrial City located in Amman, Jordan.

 

On July 14, 2021, Jerash Garments and the sole shareholder of Kawkab Venus entered into an agreement, pursuant to which Jerash Garments acquired all of the outstanding stock of Kawkab Venus. Apart from the land and factory premises, Kawkab Venus had no other significant assets or liabilities and no operation activities or employees at the time of acquisition, so the acquisition was accounted for an asset acquisition. As of August 21, 2022, Kawkab Venus became a subsidiary of Jerash Garments.

 

On February 2, 2026, Jerash Garments received the approval from the Housing Bank of the Property Purchase Request submitted on January 20, 2026 for the purchase of Property No. 1326, from the lands of South Amman, Jordan. The purchase was completed on February 19, 2026. Property No. 1326 will be our sixth factory in Al Tajamouat Industrial City and production will be commenced in fiscal 2027.

 

We believe the real estate property that we own and lease is sufficient to conduct our operations as they are currently conducted.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

 

We are not currently involved in any material legal proceedings. From time-to-time we are, and we anticipate that we will be, involved in legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business and otherwise. The ultimate costs to resolve any such matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements. We could be forced to incur material expenses with respect to these legal proceedings, and in the event that there is an outcome in any that is adverse to us, our financial position and prospects could be harmed.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

 

Not applicable.

PART II

 

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

 

Our common stock has been traded and quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “JRSH” since May 4, 2018. Before that, our stock was not traded on any stock exchange. As of June 18, 2026, there were 12,939,418 shares of common stock issued and 12,699,940 outstanding held by approximately 32 stockholders of record.

 

Since November 2018, the Board of Directors of Jerash Holdings has declared a quarterly cash dividend payable to holders of its common stock. Subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and applicable law, we currently expect to continue declaring comparable quarterly cash dividends in the future.

 

For information on securities authorized for issuance under our existing equity compensation plan, see Item 12 under the heading “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.”

 

In the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Company has not made any repurchases of its outstanding shares of common stock.

 

During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we did not have sales of unregistered securities other than those already disclosed in the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q in the fiscal years 2026 and 2025, and current reports on Form 8-K.

 

Item 6. [Reserved].

 

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this annual report.

 

Executive Overview

 

Seasonality of Sales

 

We used to have strong seasonality due to higher values of fall and winter orders, which are normally shipped in the first two quarters of our fiscal years. We have been working on smoothing out seasonality through expansions of customer base and product offerings. In fiscal 2026, we managed to reverse the trend to have higher sales in the second half of the year through introduction of a new customer and expansion in sales of some existing customers for spring and summer season orders. We will continue our efforts in this direction in order to produce more consistent results throughout a fiscal year.  One of our strategies is to increase sales with other customers where clothing lines are stronger during the spring months. This strategy also reflects our current plan to increase our number of customers to mitigate our current concentration risk with VF Corporation.

  

Results of Operations

 

The following table presents certain information from our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and should be read, along with all of the information in this management’s discussion and analysis, in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this annual report.

Revenue. Our revenue was $166.3 million for fiscal 2026, compared to $145.8 million for fiscal 2025, an increase of $20.5 million, or 14%, primarily due to increases in shipments to businesses from new customers such as Hansoll Group and growth in sales from some of the customers introduced in the past few years such as Acushnet and Tharanco.

Since January 2010, all apparel manufactured in Jordan can be exported to the U.S. without customs duty being imposed, pursuant to the United States-Jordan Free Trade Agreement entered into in December 2001. This free trade agreement provides us with substantial competitiveness and benefit that allowed us to expand our garment export business in the U.S. Effective from April 5, 2025, the U.S. imposed a baseline tariff of 10% on imports from almost all countries, including Jordan. Then, effective from April 9, 2025, it had announced “reciprocal” tariffs of imports from specified countries, amongst them Jordan with a prevailing rate of then 20%. These “reciprocal” tariffs are postponed for 90 days, whilst the 10% baseline tariff persists. The tariff had been modified to 15% according to an executive order of presidential actions on July 31, 2025. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the “reciprocal” tariffs were illegal, and the U.S. Customs has since then stopped to impose the “reciprocal” tariff and established a new process to refund importers for voided “reciprocal” tariff. Following the ruling, the U.S. Government then invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 to impose an across the board 10% tariff for a period of 150 days expiring in July 2026, including on the imports from Jordan. While the payment of the tariff is typically the responsibility of the importer (Jerash’s customers), the impact of the tariff on customers’ demand would be affected by the comparative levels of the tariffs on imports from Jordan compared to other.

 

The increase of approximately 7% in sales to the U.S. during fiscal 2026 was mainly attributable to an increase in sales to some of our U.S. customers introduced in the past few years, including Acushnet, Tharanco, and American Eagle.

 

During fiscal 2026, aggregate sales to Jordan, China and Hong Kong, Korea, and other locations, such as Germany, and Mexico, increased by 63% from approximately $17.2 million in fiscal 2025 to $28.1 million. This increase can be attributed mainly to the introduction of a new customer, Hansoll Group and an increase in revenue from Suzhou Unitex.

 

Cost of goods sold. Our cost of goods sold experienced an increase of approximately $16.0 million to approximately $139.5 million in fiscal 2026 from approximately $123.5 million in fiscal 2025. As a percentage of revenue, the cost of goods sold decreased by approximately 1 percentage point to 84% in fiscal 2026 from 85% in fiscal 2025. The decrease in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to improved efficiency from economy of scale, continued automation such as installation of hanging systems, and better control of import costs.

 

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we purchased approximately 13% and 10% of our garments and raw materials from one major supplier, respectively.

 

Gross profit margin. Our gross profit margin was approximately 16% in fiscal 2026, representing an increase by approximately 1 percentage point from 15% in fiscal 2025. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily influenced by our improvements in efficiency through automation and economy of scale.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by approximately 2% from approximately $20.9 million in fiscal 2025 to $20.5 million in fiscal 2026. The decrease was mainly attributable to better control of the export logistic expenses and lower share-based payment expenses in fiscal 2026.

 

Other expenses, net. Other expenses, net were approximately $1.6 million in fiscal 2026, compared to other expenses, net of approximately $1.3 million in fiscal 2025. The increase in other expenses from fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2026 was primarily due to a currency exchange loss and lower interest income in 2026.

 

Taxation. Income tax expenses for fiscal 2026 were approximately $1.1 million, compared to income tax expenses of approximately $1.0 million for fiscal 2025. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2026 decreased to 24%, compared to 656% for fiscal 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate mainly resulted from lower Subpart F income impacts, favorable foreign tax rate differentials, favorable return-to-provision and valuation allowance adjustments, and the absence of uncertain tax position adjustments related to amended tax returns that were recorded in fiscal 2025.

 

Net income (loss). Net income for fiscal 2026 was $3.6 million, compared to net loss of approximately $0.8 million for fiscal 2025. The net income is mainly attributable to the improvement in efficiency through automation and economy of scale, better control of the export logistic expenses and lower share-based payment expenses and the lower effect tax rate in fiscal 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Jerash Holdings is a holding company incorporated in Delaware. As a holding company, we rely on dividends and other distributions from our Jordanian and Hong Kong subsidiaries to satisfy our liquidity requirements. Current Jordanian regulations permit our Jordanian subsidiaries to pay dividends to us only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Jordanian accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our Jordanian subsidiaries are required to set aside at least 10% of their respective accumulated profits each year until the reserve is equal to 100% of the entity’s share capital, if any, to fund certain reserve funds. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. We have relied on direct payments of expenses by our subsidiaries to meet our obligations to date. To the extent payments are due in U.S. dollars, we have occasionally paid such amounts in JOD to an entity controlled by our management capable of paying such amounts in U.S. dollars. Such transactions have been made at prevailing exchange rates and have resulted in immaterial losses or gains on currency exchange.

 

As of March 31, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents balance was approximately $10.8 million and restricted cash was approximately $1.7 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $13.3 million and restricted cash of approximately $1.7 million as of March 31, 2025. The decrease in total cash and cash equivalents during fiscal 2026 was primarily due to the payment for new factory premises and plant and equipment, offsetting the bank loan of $2.8 million related to the premises in fiscal 2026.

 

Our current assets as of March 31, 2026 were approximately $58.4 million, and our current liabilities were approximately $21.6 million, which resulted in a current ratio of approximately 2.7 to 1. Our current assets as of March 31, 2025 were approximately $54.4 million, and our current liabilities were approximately $19.8 million, which resulted in a current ratio of approximately 2.7:1. For fiscal 2026, the increase in current assets were primarily due to increases in accounts receivable from shipments close to the year end, and increases in inventory and advances to suppliers for the shipments mostly planned in early to mid-fiscal 2027, offsetting the decrease in cash balance.

 

We had net working capital of $36.7 million and $34.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Based on our current operating plan, we believe that cash on hand and cash generated from operation will be sufficient to support our working capital needs for the next 12 months from the date of this Annual Report.

 

Since May and October 2021, we have participated in supply chain financing programs of two of our major customers, respectively. The programs allow us to receive early payments for approved sales invoices submitted by us through the bank the customer cooperates with. For any early payments received, we are subject to an early payment charge imposed by the customer’s bank, for which the rate is SOFR plus a spread. The arrangement allows us to have better liquidity without the need to incur administrative charges and handling fees as in bank financing. In March 2024, we participated in an additional supply chain financing program with one customer.

 

We have funded our working capital needs from operations. Our working capital requirements are influenced by the level of our operations, the numerical and dollar volume of our sales contracts, the progress of execution on our customer contracts, and the timing of accounts receivable collections.

Fiscal Years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

 

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

 

(All amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars)

 

    For the fiscal years ended
March 31,
 
    2026     2025  
Net cash provided by operating activities   $ 2,494     $ 1,365

Equipment obtained by utilizing long-term deposit   $ 296     $ 668  
Operating lease right of use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations   $ 765     $ 187  

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $2.5 million in fiscal 2026, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $1.4 million in fiscal 2025. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to the following factors:

 

  net income of $3.6 million during fiscal 2026, compared to a net loss of $0.8 million during fiscal 2025;
     
  an increase of $1.2 million in accrual expenses during fiscal 2026, compared to an increase of $0.2 million during fiscal 2025;
     
  an increase of $2.7 million in accounts receivable during fiscal 2026, compared to a decrease of $2.4 million during fiscal 2025;

 

25


 

  an increase of $2.3 million in inventory during fiscal 2026, compared to an increase of $0.5 million during fiscal 2025;

 

  an increase of $2.0 million in advances to suppliers during fiscal 2026, compared to an increase of $3.6 million during fiscal 2025; and

 

  a decrease of $0.2 million of deferred revenue during fiscal 2026, compared to an increase of $0.5 million during fiscal 2025.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $5.8 million and $2.4 million for fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in net cash used in fiscal year 2026 compared to 2025 was primarily due to acquisition of a factory premises in Jordan in fiscal 2026 for approximately $3.6 million.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.7 million in fiscal 2026, which was primarily related to the increase in long-term loan of approximately $2.8 million to finance the acquisition of a factory premises in fiscal 2026 and the net draw down of short-term bank financing of approximately $0.4 million, offset by the distribution of dividend of $2.5 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2.1 million for fiscal 2025, mainly due to the net draw down of short-term bank financing of $4.5 million, which was offset by the distribution of dividends of $2.4 million.

 

Statutory Reserves

 

In accordance with the corporate Law in Jordan, Jerash Holdings’ subsidiaries in Jordan are required to make appropriations to certain reserve funds, based on net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of Jordan. Appropriations to the statutory reserve are required to be 10% of net income until the reserve is equal to 100% of the entity’s share capital. Jiangmen Treasure Success is required to set aside 10% of its net income as statutory surplus reserve until such reserve is equal to 50% of its registered capital. These reserves are not available for dividend distribution. The statutory reserve was $413,821 as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.

 

The following table provides the amount of our statutory reserves, the amount of restricted net assets, consolidated net assets, and the amount of restricted net assets as a percentage of consolidated net assets, as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.

 

(All amounts, other than percentages, in thousands of U.S. dollars)

 

    As of March 31,  
    2026     2025  
Statutory Reserves   $ 414     $ 414  
Total Restricted Net Assets   $ 414     $ 414  
Consolidated Net Assets   $ 64,909     $ 62,869  
Restricted Net Assets as Percentage of Consolidated Net Assets     0.64 %     0.66 %

 

Total restricted net assets accounted for approximately 0.64% of our consolidated net assets as of March 31, 2026. As our subsidiaries in Jordan are only required to set aside 10% of net profits to fund the statutory reserves with the maximum reserve equal to 100% of the entity’s capital, we believe the potential impact of such restricted net assets on our liquidity is limited.

Capital Expenditures

 

We had capital expenditures of approximately $5.8 million and $2.4 million in fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, our capital expenditures included payments for additional plant and machinery of approximately $1.5 million and payments for acquisition of properties of approximately $3.6 million. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, our capital expenditures included payments for additional plant and machinery of approximately $1.0 million and payments for construction of properties of approximately $1.1 million.

 

On August 7, 2019, we completed a transaction to acquire 12,340 square meters (approximately three acres) of land in Al Tajamouat Industrial City, Jordan, from a third party to construct a dormitory for our employees with aggregate purchase price JOD863,800 (approximately $1,218,303). Management has revised the plan to construct both dormitory and production facilities on the land in order to capture the increasing demand for our capacity. We are conducting engineering design and study on this project with the business growth prospect of new customers to be introduced in the coming few years. On February 6, 2020, we completed a transaction to acquire 4,516 square meters (approximately 48,608 square feet) of land in Al Tajamouat Industrial City, Jordan, from a third party to construct a dormitory for our employee with aggregate purchase price JOD313,501 (approximately US$442,162). The dormitory and dormitory kitchen were completed in the second quarter and the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, respectively. We have spent approximately $10.6 million in capital expenditures to build the dormitory and the dormitory kitchen.

 

We expect that our capital expenditures will increase in the following two fiscal years to create additional capacity to underpin our long-term business plan. The realization of these investments depends on the progress of our business development, including expanding our client base and securing increased commitments from existing customers. We have used cash generated from operations of our subsidiaries to fund our capital commitments in the past. Our capital expenditure plan is highly related to customer commitments and market responses to the demand of our capacity. If growth in demand is in line with our projection, other than cash generated from the operations of our subsidiaries, we may also obtain further bank financing and raise funds from the capital market to meet our capital expenditure plan and fund our capital commitments. As of the date of this report, no material commitment has been made for the capital expenditure projections above.

 

Off-balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any other 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 stockholders’ equity, or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

 

For Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on June 26, 2025.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

        

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted by the United States of America, which require us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect our reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, and any related disclosures. Although there were no material changes made to the accounting estimates and assumptions in the past two years, we continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes in our estimates. We have not identified any critical accounting estimates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Jerash Holdings (US), Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Jerash Holdings, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and two non-wholly owned subsidiaries.

 

Non-wholly owned subsidiaries are entities that the reporting parent entity does not own equity interests in full. Noncontrolling interest is evaluated with a depiction of the portion of a non-wholly owned subsidiary’s net assets, net income, and net comprehensive income that is attributable to holders of equity-classified ownership interests other than the reporting parent entity. As mentioned in Note 1, the Company holds 51% of equity interest in J&B and Jerash Newtech through its wholly owned subsidiary, Treasure Success. The Company consolidates J&B and Jerash Newtech and reports noncontrolling interest to reflect the portion of their equity that is not attributable to the Company as the controlling shareholder. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, noncontrolling interest was $142,583 and $52,781, respectively.

 

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company’s cash consists of cash on hand and cash deposited in financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less from the original date of purchase to be cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalents are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash consists of cash used as security deposits to obtain credit facilities from a bank and to secure customs clearance, labor import requirements, and other requirements of local regulations. The Company is required to keep certain amounts on deposit that are subject to withdrawal restrictions. These security deposits at the bank are refundable only when the bank facilities are terminated. The restricted cash is classified as a current asset if the Company intends to terminate these bank facilities within one year, and as a non-current asset if otherwise.

 

F-9


 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Accounts Receivable, Net

 

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for credit loss. The Company usually grants extended payment terms to customers with good credit standing and determines the adequacy of credit losses based on the historical level of credit loss, current economic trends, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the future cash flows.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories include the cost of raw materials, freight, direct labor, and related production overhead. The cost of inventories is determined using the First-in, First-out method. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess or slow-moving items and makes provisions as necessary to properly reflect inventory value.

 

Advances to Suppliers, Net

 

Advances to suppliers consist of balances paid to suppliers for services or materials purchased that have not been provided or received. Advances to suppliers for services and materials are short-term in nature. Advances to suppliers are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers the assets to be impaired if the performance of the suppliers becomes doubtful. At each reporting date, the Company generally determines the adequacy of allowance for impairment by evaluating all available information and then records specific allowances for those advances based on the specific facts and circumstances.

  

Credit Loss

 

The Company maintains expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss methodology. The expected credit loss impairment model requires the entity to recognize its estimate of expected credit losses for affected financial assets using an allowance for credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.

 

The Company’s accounts receivable and other receivables, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets line items in the consolidated balance sheets, are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. The Company measures expected credit losses of account receivables and other receivables, on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company makes estimates of expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses based upon assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the receivables, creditworthiness of the customers and other debtors, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from the customers and other debtors. The Company also provides specific provisions for allowance when facts and circumstances indicate that the receivable is unlikely to be collected.

 

Expected credit losses are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

 

Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net

 

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost, reduced by accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense related to property, plant, and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, or in the case of leasehold improvements, the shorter of the initial lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and period of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property, plant, and equipment. The estimated useful lives of depreciation and amortization of the principal classes of assets are as follows:

 

    Useful life
Land   Infinite
Property and buildings   15-25 years
Equipment and machinery   3-5 years
Office and electronic equipment   3-5 years
Automobiles   5 years
Leasehold improvements   Lesser of useful life and lease term

 

F-10


 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net (Continued)

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company assesses its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Factors that may indicate potential impairment include a significant underperformance relative to the historical or projected future operating results or a significant negative industry or economic trend. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If impairment is indicated, a loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. The fair value is estimated based on the discounted future cash flows or comparable market values, if available. The Company did not record any impairment loss during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill is not amortized. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the carrying amount of goodwill was $499,282. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or in interim periods if indicators of potential impairment exist, based on the one reporting unit. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. When performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the fair value of its only reporting unit with the carrying amounts. The Company would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company concluded that no impairment of its goodwill occurred for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from product sales, which consist of sales of the Company’s customized ready-made outerwear for large brand-name retailers. The Company considers purchase orders to be a contract with a customer. Contracts with customers are considered to be short-term when the time between order confirmation and satisfaction of the performance obligations is equal to or less than one year. Virtually all of the Company’s contracts are short-term. The Company has minimal incremental costs of obtaining a contract, which are expensed when incurred. The Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations in contracts with customers upon shipment of the goods. Generally, payment is due from customers within 14 to 150 days of the invoice date. The contracts do not have significant financing components. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight from Jordan export dock are not an obligation of the Company. Returns and allowances are not a significant aspect of the revenue recognition process as historically they have been immaterial.

 

The Company also derives revenue from rendering cutting and making services to other apparel vendors who subcontract orders to the Company. Revenue is recognized when the service is rendered. All of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time and the transaction price is stated in the contract, usually as a price per unit. All estimates are based on the Company’s historical experience, complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, and the Company’s best judgment at the time the estimate is made. Historically, sales returns have not significantly impacted the Company’s revenue.

 

F-11


 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

 

The Company applies the “distinct” guidance in ASC 606-10-25-19 through ASC 606-10-25-22 to identify the specified goods or services. The Company evaluates the indicators in ASC 606-10-55-39 along with all relevant facts and circumstances in relation to our assessment. As the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good and service, the Company has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer, or after transfer of control to the customer; and the Company has discretion in establishing the prices for the specified goods or service, the Company concluded that it is the principal of the sales transactions and revenue should be recognized on a gross basis.

 

The Company does not have any contract assets since the Company recognizes accounts receivable and revenue for the transfer of promised goods to customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company has an unconditional right to consideration when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and payment to the accounts receivable from customers is not contingent on a future event. The Company had contract liabilities of $241,357 and $487,004 as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, $241,357 deferred revenue was expected to be recognized within fiscal year 2027.

 

Segment

 

The Company has one revenue generating reportable geographic segment under ASC Topic 280 “Segment Reporting” and derives its sales primarily from its sales of customized ready-made outerwear. Chief Operational Decision Makers (“CODM”), including Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. CODM reviews operation results on the consolidated revenue, gross profit, selling, general, and administrative expenses, interest expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and net income or loss regularly. In selling, general, and administration expense, CODM reviews staff payroll and other related expenses, inventory export and related costs, depreciation, and others major items. The Company believes disaggregation of revenue by geographic region best depicts the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows (see “Note 15—Segment Reporting”).

 

Shipping and Handling

 

Proceeds collected from customers for shipping and handling costs are included in revenue. Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expenses, as a part of selling, general, and administrative expenses. Total shipping and handling expenses were $2,783,046 and $2,991,097 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

Income and Sales Taxes

 

The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled. Jerash Holdings and Jerash Supplies are incorporated/formed in the State of Delaware and are subject to federal income tax in the United States of America. Treasure Success, Ever Winland, J&B, and Jerash Newtech are registered in Hong Kong and are subject to profits tax in Hong Kong. Jiangmen Treasure Success is incorporated in China and is subject to corporate income tax in China. Jerash Garments, Jerash Embroidery, Chinese Garments, Paramount, Jerash The First, MK Garments, and Kawkab Venus are subject to income tax in Jordan, unless an exemption is granted. In accordance with Development Zone law, Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries were subject to corporate income tax in Jordan at a rate of 20% plus a 1% social contribution effective from January 1, 2024. Effective from October 1, 2025, Jerash Garments has been granted tax concession at a corporate income tax rate 10% plus a 1% social contribution in accordance with the Jordanian Income Tax Law.

 

Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries are subject to local sales tax of 16% on purchases. Jerash Garments was granted a sales tax exemption from the Jordanian Investment Commission for the period from June 1, 2015 to June 1, 2018 that allowed Jerash Garments to make purchases with no sales tax charge. The exemption has been extended to February 5, 2027.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Income and Sales Taxes (Continued)

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Under this accounting standard, any changes in tax rates and the impact on deferred income taxes are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period when the new rates are enacted. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

  

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of the date of this annual report, the Company is current on all corporate, federal, and state tax returns. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, uncertain tax provision was $nil and $175,290, respectively.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar (“US$” or “$”). The Company uses JOD in its Jordan subsidiaries, HKD in Treasure Success, Ever Winland, J&B, and Jerash Newtech, and Chinese Yuan (“CNY”) in Jiangmen Treasure Success as the functional currency of each above-mentioned entity. The assets and liabilities of the Company have been translated into US$ using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, equity accounts have been translated at historical rates, and revenue and expenses have been translated into US$ using average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods. Therefore, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as incurred, and the total amount of transaction gains and losses were immaterial as of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

 

The value of JOD against US$ and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in Jordan’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of JOD, HKD, and CNY may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US$ reporting. The following table outlines the currency exchange rates that were used in creating the consolidated financial statements in this report:

 

    March 31,
2026
  March 31,
2025
Period-end spot rate   US$1=JOD0.7090   US$1=JOD0.7090
    US$1=HKD7.8002   US$1=HKD7.7790
    US$1=CNY6.9033   US$1=CNY7.2572
Average rate   US$1=JOD0.7090   US$1=JOD0.7090
    US$1=HKD7.8002   US$1=HKD7.7925
    US$1=CNY7.1016   US$1=CNY7.2150

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures compensation expense for stock-based awards based on the awards’ initial grant-date fair value. The estimated grant-date fair value of the award is recognized as expense over the requisite service period using the straight-line method.

 

F-13


 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes model. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of the grant as well as assumptions regarding a number of variables. These variables include the expected term of the option, expected risk-free rates of return, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, and expected dividend yield, each of which is more fully described below. The assumptions for the expected term and expected volatility are the two assumptions that significantly affect the grant date fair value.

 

  Expected Term: the expected term of a warrant or a stock option is the period of time that the warrant or a stock option is expected to be outstanding.

 

  Risk-free Interest Rate: the Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes model on the implied yield at the grant date of the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issued with an equivalent term to the stock-based award being valued. Where the expected term of a stock-based award does not correspond with the term for which a zero-coupon interest rate is quoted, the Company uses the nearest interest rate from the available maturities.

 

  Expected Stock Price Volatility: the Company utilizes the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock over the same period of time as the life of the warrant or stock option. When the Company’s own stock volatility information is unavailable for such period of time, the Company utilizes comparable public company volatility.

 

  Dividend Yield: Stock-based compensation awards granted prior to November 2018 assumed no dividend yield, while any subsequent stock-based compensation awards will be valued using the anticipated dividend yield.

 

Earnings or Loss per Share

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). 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 (for instance, convertible securities, options, warrants, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) 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 (See “Note 14–Earnings (Loss) per Share”).

 

Comprehensive Income or Loss

 

Comprehensive income or loss consists of two components, net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss. The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in JOD or HKD or CNY to US$ is reported in other comprehensive income or loss in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

ASC 825-10 requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

  Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

  Level 2 - Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

F-14


 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

 

  Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

 

The Company considers the recorded value of its financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, credit facilities, accounts payable, accrued expenses, income tax payables, other payables and operating lease liabilities to approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities at March 31, 2026 and 2025 based upon the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

 

Concentrations and Credit Risk

 

Credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, $5,236,963 and $4,883,906 of the Company’s cash were on deposit at financial institutions in Jordan, where a maximum amount of JOD 50,000 (approximately $71,000) bank deposits are insured by each member bank under Jordan Deposit Insurance Corporation Law in the event of bank failure. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, $344,673 and $246,394 of the Company’s cash were on deposit at financial institutions in China. Cash maintained in banks within China of less than CNY 0.5 million (equivalent to approximately $72,429) per bank are covered by “deposit insurance regulation” promulgated by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, $6,826,388 and $9,871,227 of the Company’s cash were on deposit at financial institutions in Hong Kong, which are insured by the Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board subject to certain limitations. While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their creditworthiness. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, $41,090 and $48,274 of the Company’s cash were on deposit in the United States and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.

 

Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and derived from revenue earned from customers, and therefore are exposed to credit risk. The risk is mitigated by the Company’s assessment of its customers’ creditworthiness and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances.

  

Customer and vendor concentration risk

 

The Company’s sales are made primarily in the United States. Its operating results could be adversely affected by U.S. government policies on importing business, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and changes in local market conditions. The Company has a concentration of its revenue and purchases with specific customers and suppliers. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, two end-customers accounted for 52% and 14%, and 65% and 12% of the Company’s total revenue, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, three end-customers accounted for 29%, 26% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance. As of March 31, 2025, four end-customers accounted for 24%, 23%, 16%, and 11%, respectively, of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance.

 

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company purchased approximately 13% and 10% of its total purchase in garments and raw materials from one major supplier. As of March 31, 2026, accounts payable to the Company’s three major suppliers accounted for 21%, 18%, and 12% of the total accounts payable balance, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, accounts payable to the Company’s three major suppliers accounted for 24%, 12%, and 11% of the total accounts payable balance, respectively.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The principal operations of the Company are located in Jordan. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by political, economic, and legal environments in Jordan, as well as by the general state of the Jordanian economy. The Company’s operations in Jordan are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic, and legal environment, foreign currency exchange, and the recent conflicts between Israel and Hamas and between Israel and Iran. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory, and social conditions in Jordan. Although the Company has not experienced losses from these situations and believes that it is in compliance with existing laws and regulations including its organization and structure disclosed in Note 1, this may not be indicative of future results.

 

F-15


 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Risks and Uncertainties (Continued)

 

Since the inception of the turmoil in the Middle East, the Company has been closely monitoring the situation and keeping its customers informed. Production is ongoing as usual, with no changes to customer orders or commitments, and the Company is currently mainly using the port in Aqaba, Jordan for import and export. In order to provide flexibility, the Company has also been using the Port of Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates as an alternative route for raw material import since December 2023. However, in the event of any potential impact on the ports, the Company has prepared a contingency plan, approved by its major customers, to temporarily relocate production to alternate regions.

 

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company adopted this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures on a prospective basis.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This update requires that at each interim and annual reporting period a report entity to disclose (1) the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion in commonly presented expense captions; (2) certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements; (3) a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively; and (4) the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, the definition of selling expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date.” This update clarifies that ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Some leases include one or more options to renew, which is typically at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company regularly evaluates the renewal options, and, when it is reasonably certain of exercise, it will include the renewal period in its lease term. New lease modifications result in measurement of the right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liability. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. ROU assets and related lease obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term.

 

All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases and primarily include office space, manufacturing facilities and staff dormitories.

Credit Facilities

 

Starting from May and October 2021, the Company has participated in a financing program with two customers, in which the Company may receive early payments for approved sales invoices submitted by the Company through the bank the customer cooperates with. In March 2024, the Company joined a supply chain financing program with one additional customer. For any early payments received, the Company is subject to an early payment charge imposed by the customer’s bank, for which the rate is based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread. In certain scenarios, the Company submits the sales invoice and receives payments prior to the shipment of the relative products. In that case, instead of recording the cash receipts as a reduction to accounts receivables, the Company records the cash receipts as receipts in advance from a customer until products are entitled to transfer. The Company records the early payment charge in interest expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the early payment charge was $1,303,967 and $1,482,263, respectively.

NOTE 15 – 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 amendment of ASC 280 requires incremental disclosures in annual and interim periods to reportable segments and clarifies entities with a single reportable segment are also required to provide new disclosures in significant segment expenses, profit and loss, assets, and other segment items for better understanding company business activities and overall financial performance and assess potential future cash flow for the business. The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the CODM for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. CODM, including Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviews operation results on the consolidated revenue, gross profit, selling, general, and administrative expenses, and net income or loss. In selling, general, and administration expenses, CODM reviews staff payroll and other related expenses, inventory export and related costs, depreciation, and other major items. Based on CODM’s assessment, the Company has determined that it has only one operating segment as defined by amended ASC 280. The following table summarizes the operating results reviewed by CODM.

NOTE 16 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Commitments

 

On August 28, 2019, Jiangmen Treasure Success was incorporated under the laws of the People’s Republic of China in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, China, with a total registered capital of HKD 3 million (approximately $385,000). On December 9, 2020, shareholders of Jiangmen Treasure Success approved to increase its registered capital to HKD 15 million (approximately $1.9 million). The Company’s subsidiary, Treasure Success, as a shareholder of Jiangmen Treasure Success, is required to contribute HKD 15 million (approximately $1.9 million) as paid-in capital in exchange for 100% ownership interest in Jiangmen Treasure Success. As of March 31, 2026, Treasure Success had made capital contribution of HKD 10 million (approximately $1.3 million). Pursuant to the articles of incorporation of Jiangmen Treasure Success, Treasure Success is required to complete the remaining capital contribution before December 31, 2029 as Treasure Success’ available funds permit.

 

Contingencies

 

From time to time, the Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. The Company’s management does not expect any liability from the disposition of such claims and litigation individually or in the aggregate would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

 

In 2020, Jerash Garments had business with a personal protective equipment (“PPE”) customer (the “PPE Customer”) to produce PPE products for them. The PPE products were delivered in 2020 against some postdated checks issued by the PPE Customer. Delivery was also supported by delivery documents signed by persons of the PPE Customer for inspection and receiving. The PPE Customer declined to honor the postdated checks. Jerash Garments brought the case to the court and won in the Cassation Court. For the same PPE products, the PPE Customer filed another case claiming that certain lengths/widths of the PPE products were inconsistent with the specifications. The Court of First Instance ruled in favor of the PPE Customer. Jerash Garments was ordered to pay to the PPE Customer an amount of US$653,000. Jerash Garments filed an appeal, which is undergoing in the Court of Appeal. Upon the judgment of the appeal, the parties involved may appeal further to the Court of Cassation where judgment will be final.

 

The management has consulted two external legal advisors of Jordanian laws. Both opined that Jerash Garments has a strong position in the appeal as Jerash Garments will be allowed to present witnesses with additional evidence including the proof of inspections and receipts in the appeal. Also, given the appeal process mentioned above, the case would take a considerable long period of time to reach conclusion.

 

The management, based on the legal opinion of external advisors, the fact that the Court of Appeal and Cassation’s previous favorable verdicts on Jerash Garments’ lawful right to collect proceeds for the PPE products, and the proceedings of the appeal, concluded that the chance of loss is remote. Therefore, there was no accrual in the financial statements.

All unrecognized tax provision had been paid as of March 31, 2026.

 

The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and 2025 consisted of the following:

 

Deferred tax liabilities   As of
March 31,

Deferred tax liabilities   $ (73 )   $ (120 )
Net operating losses carried forward     1,940,213       1,975,215  
Less: valuation allowance     (1,940,213 )     (1,975,215 )
Deferred tax liabilities   $ (73 )   $ (120 )

 

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the allowance for deferred tax assets was $1,940,213 and $1,975,215, respectively. The allowance is provided for net operating loss of foreign subsidiaries.

 

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cumulative book-tax basis differences in its foreign subsidiaries of approximately $18.5 million.

As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were $nil and $175,290 and uncertain tax positions, respectively.

 

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act was enacted during the period. The Company has evaluated the provisions of the legislation and recorded the effects of changes in tax law in accordance with ASC 740.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to April 1, 2019.

 

NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC to ensure that this filing includes appropriate disclosure of events both recognized in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026. The Company has determined that there were no subsequent events that required recognition, adjustment to, or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements, except for the following:

  

On April 9, 2026, the Company signed a credit facility agreement offered by Capital Bank of Jordan (“Capital Bank”). Pursuant to the facility, Capital Bank agreed to finance import invoices of up to $7.5 million with condition that such invoices are secured by letter of credit issued by customers. The facility bears an SOFR interest rate plus a spread, with minimum 5% interest rate annually. The Capital Bank facility is reviewed annually.

  

On May 4, 2026, the Board of Directors approved the payment of a dividend of $0.05 per share.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 

There has been no change in independent accountants for our Company during the two most recent fiscal years or any subsequent interim period except for the change in independent accountants from Marcum LLP to CBIZ CPAs P.C., resulted from the acquisition of Marcum LLP by CBIZ CPAs P.C., as previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025. There have been no disagreements of the type required to be disclosed by Item 304(b) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 15(d)-15(e)) are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this annual report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

 

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).

 

Based on the assessment using those criteria, management concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because there were ineffective information technology general controls in the areas of privileged user access and the review of user access over certain information technology systems that support our financial reporting processes.

 

28


 

Remedial actions have then been implemented to address the issues. In the assessment in fiscal 2026, the management concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our internal control over financial reporting was effective after review and testing of the effectiveness of the remedial actions.

 

Our management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

 

Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm due to an exemption for “non-accelerated filers.”

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as the term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 9B. Other Information.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, no director or officer of the Company adopted, modified, or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading agreement; or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading agreement’ as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 9C. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections.

 

Not Applicable.

INSIDER TRADING POLICY

and Guidelines with Respect to Certain Transactions in Company Securities

 

SECTION I

APPLICABILITY OF POLICY

 

This Policy applies to all transactions in the Company’s securities, including common stock, options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, and any other securities the Company may issue from time to time, such as preferred stock, and convertible debentures, as well as derivative securities relating to the Company’s stock, whether or not issued by the Company, such as exchange-traded options. It applies to all officers and directors of the Company, all other employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, all secretaries and assistants supporting such directors, officers, and employees, and consultants or advisors to the Company or its subsidiaries who have or may have access to Material Nonpublic Information (as defined below) regarding the Company and members of the immediate family or household of any such person. This group of people is sometimes referred to in this Policy as “Insiders.” This Policy also applies to any person who receives Material Nonpublic Information from any Insider.

 

Any person who possesses Material Nonpublic Information regarding the Company is an Insider for so long as such information is not publicly known.

 

SECTION II

DEFINITION OF MATERIAL NONPUBLIC INFORMATION

 

It is not possible to define all categories of material information. However, information should be regarded as “material” if there is a reasonable likelihood that it would be considered important to an investor in making an investment decision regarding the purchase or sale of the Company’s securities. Material information may be positive or negative. “Nonpublic information” is information that has not been previously disclosed to the general public and is otherwise not available to the general public.

 

While it may be difficult to determine whether particular information is material, there are various categories of information that are particularly sensitive and, as a general rule, should always be considered material. Examples of such information may include:

 

Financial results;

 

Entry into a material agreement or discussions regarding entry into a material agreement;

 

Projections of future earnings or losses;
     
Major contract awards, cancellations or write-offs;

 

Joint ventures or commercial ventures with third parties;

 

News of a pending or proposed merger or acquisition;

 

News of the disposition of material assets;

 

Impending bankruptcy or financial liquidity problems;

 

A-1


 

Gain or loss of significant line of credit;

 

New business or services announcements of a significant nature;

 

Stock splits;

 

New equity or debt offerings;

 

Significant litigation exposure due to actual or threatened litigation;

 

Changes in senior management or the Board;

 

Capital investment plans; and

 

Changes in dividend policy.

 

All of the foregoing categories of information and any similar information should be considered “Material Nonpublic Information” for purposes of this Policy. If there are any questions regarding whether a particular item of information is Material Nonpublic Information, please consult the Compliance Officer or the Company’s legal counsel before taking any action with respect to such information.

 

SECTION III

CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS

 

For purposes of this Policy, the Company considers that the exercise of stock options under the Company’s stock incentive plan (but not the sale of any such shares) is exempt from this Policy, since the other party to the transaction is the Company itself and the price does not vary with the market but is fixed by the terms of the option agreement or the plan.

 

SECTION IV

STATEMENT OF POLICY

 

General Policy

 

It is the policy of the Company to prohibit the unauthorized disclosure of any nonpublic information acquired in the workplace and the misuse of Material Nonpublic Information in securities trading.

 

Specific Policies

 

1. Trading on Material Nonpublic Information. With certain exceptions, no officer or director of the Company, no employee of the Company or its subsidiaries and no consultant or advisor to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and no members of the immediate family or household of any such person, shall engage in any transaction involving a purchase or sale of the Company’s securities, including any offer to purchase or offer to sell, during any period commencing with the date that he or she possesses Material Nonpublic Information concerning the Company, and ending at the close of business on the second Trading Day following the date of public disclosure of that information, or at such time as such nonpublic information is no longer material. However, see “Permitted Trading Period” below for a full discussion of trading pursuant to a pre-established plan or by delegation.

 

As used herein, the term “Trading Day” shall mean a day on which national stock exchanges are open for trading.

 

A-2


 

2. Tipping. No Insider shall disclose (“tip”) Material Nonpublic Information to any other person (including family members) where such information may be used by such person to his or her profit by trading in the securities of companies to which such information relates, nor shall such Insider or related person make recommendations or express opinions on the basis of Material Nonpublic Information as to trading in the Company’s securities.

 

Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) is an issuer disclosure rule implemented by the SEC that addresses selective disclosure. The regulation provides that when the Company, or person acting on its behalf, discloses material nonpublic information to certain enumerated persons (in general, securities market professionals and holders of the Company’s securities who may well trade on the basis of the information), it must make public disclosure of that information. The timing of the required public disclosure depends on whether the selective disclosure was intentional or unintentional: for an intentional selective disclosure, the Company must make public disclosures simultaneously; for a non-intentional disclosure, the Company must make public disclosure promptly. Under the regulation, the required public disclosure may be made by filing or furnishing a Form 8-K, or by another method or combination of methods that is reasonably designed to effect broad, non-exclusionary distribution of the information to the public.

 

It is the Company’s policy that all communications with the press be handled through its CEO or investor/public relations firm. Please refer all press, analyst or similar requests for information to the Company’s CEO and do not respond to any inquiries without prior authorization from the Company’s CEO. If the Company’s CEO is unavailable, the Company’s CFO will fill this role.

 

3. Confidentiality of Nonpublic Information. Nonpublic information relating to the Company is the property of the Company and the unauthorized disclosure of such information (including, without limitation, via email or by posting on Internet message boards or blogs, anonymously or otherwise) is strictly forbidden.

 

4. Duty to Report Inappropriate and Irregular Conduct. All employees, and particularly executives, managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within the Company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles and both federal and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to their immediate supervisor and to the chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board (or to the Chairman of the Board, if an Audit Committee has not been established). For a more complete understanding of this issue, employees should consult their employee manual or seek the advice of the Company’s general counsel or outside counsel.

 

A-3


 

SECTION V

POTENTIAL CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LIABILITY

AND/OR DISCIPLINARY ACTION

 

1. Liability for Insider Trading. Insiders may be subject to penalties of up to $5,000,000 and up to twenty (20) years in jail for engaging in transactions in the Company’s securities at a time when they possess Material Nonpublic Information regarding the Company, regardless of whether such transactions were profitable. In addition, the SEC has the authority to seek a civil monetary penalty of up to three times the amount of profit gained or loss avoided by illegal insider trading. “Profit gained” or “loss avoided” generally means the difference between the purchase or sale price of the Company’s stock and its value as measured by the trading price of the stock a reasonable period after public dissemination of the nonpublic information.

 

2. Liability for Tipping. Insiders may also be liable for improper transactions by any person (commonly referred to as a “tippee”) to whom they have disclosed Material Nonpublic Information regarding the Company or to whom they have made recommendations or expressed opinions on the basis of such information as to trading in the Company’s securities. The SEC has imposed large penalties even when the disclosing person did not profit from the trading. The SEC, the stock exchanges and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. use sophisticated electronic surveillance techniques to monitor all trades and uncover insider trading.

 

3. Possible Disciplinary Actions. Individuals subject to the Policy who violate this Policy shall also be subject to disciplinary action by the Company, which may include suspension, forfeiture of perquisites and ineligibility for future participation in the Company’s equity incentive plans and/or termination of employment.

 

SECTION VI

PERMITTED TRADING PERIOD

 

1. Black-Out Period and Trading Window.

 

To ensure compliance with this Policy and applicable federal and state securities laws, the Company requires that all officers, directors, employees, and all members of the immediate family or household of any such person refrain from conducting any transactions involving the purchase or sale of the Company’s securities, other than during the period in any fiscal quarter commencing at the close of business on the second Trading Day following the date of public disclosure of the financial results for the prior fiscal quarter or year and ending on the twenty-fifth day of the third month of the fiscal quarter (the “Trading Window”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, persons subject to this Policy may submit a request to the Company to purchase or sell the Company’s securities outside the Trading Window on the basis that they do not possess any Material Nonpublic Information. The Compliance Officer shall review all such requests and may grant such requests on a case-by-case basis if he or she determines that the person making such request does not possess any Material Nonpublic Information at that time.

 

If such public disclosure occurs on a Trading Day before the markets close, then such date of disclosure shall be considered the first Trading Day following such public disclosure. For example, if such public disclosure occurs at 1:00 p.m. EST on June 10, then June 10 shall be considered the first Trading Day following such disclosure.

 

A-4


 

Please be advised that these guidelines are merely estimates. The actual trading window may be different because the Company’s quarterly report may be filed earlier or later. The filing date of a quarterly report may fall on a weekend or the Company may delay filing a quarterly report due to an extension. Please check with the Compliance Officer to confirm whether the trading window is open.

 

The safest period for trading in the Company’s securities, assuming the absence of Material Nonpublic Information, is generally the first ten Trading Days of the Trading Window. It is the Company’s policy that the period when the Trading Window is “closed” is a particularly sensitive period of time for transactions in the Company’s securities from the perspective of compliance with applicable securities laws. This is because officers, directors and certain other employees are, as any quarter progresses, increasingly likely to possess Material Nonpublic Information about the expected financial results for the quarter. The purpose of the Trading Window is to avoid any unlawful or improper transactions or even the appearance of any such transactions.

 

It should be noted that even during the Trading Window, any person possessing Material Nonpublic Information concerning the Company shall not engage in any transactions in the Company’s securities until such information has been known publicly for at least two Trading Days. The Company has adopted the policy of delaying trading for “at least two Trading Days” because the securities laws require that the public be informed effectively of previously undisclosed material information before Insiders trade in the Company’s stock. Public disclosure may occur through a widely disseminated press release or through filings, such as Form 8-K, with the SEC. Furthermore, in order for the public to be effectively informed, the public must be given time to evaluate the information disclosed by the Company. Although the amount of time necessary for the public to evaluate the information may vary depending on the complexity of the information, generally two Trading Days is a sufficient period of time.

 

From time to time, the Company may also require that directors, officers, selected employees, and others suspend trading because of developments known to the Company and not yet disclosed to the public. In such event, such persons may not engage in any transaction involving the purchase or sale of the Company’s securities during such period and may not disclose to others the fact of such suspension of trading.

 

Although the Company may from time to time require during a Trading Window that directors, officers, selected employees, and others suspend trading because of developments known to the Company and not yet disclosed to the public, each person is individually responsible at all times for compliance with the prohibitions against insider trading. Trading in the Company’s securities during the Trading Window should not be considered a “safe harbor,” and all directors, officers and other persons should use good judgment at all times.

 

Notwithstanding these general rules, Insiders may trade outside of the Trading Window provided that such trades are made pursuant to a pre-established plan or by delegation; these alternatives are discussed in the next section.

 

A-5


 

2. Trading According to a Pre-established Plan or by Delegation.

 

Trading which is not “on the basis of” material non-public information may not give rise to insider trading liability. The SEC has adopted Rule 10b5-1 under which insider trading liability can be avoided if Insiders follow very specific procedures. In general, such procedures involve trading according to pre-established instructions (a “Pre-established Trade”).

 

Pre-established Trades must:

 

(a) Be documented by a contract, written plan, or formal instruction which provides that the trade take place in the future. For example, an Insider can contract to sell his or her shares on a specific date, or simply delegate such decisions to an investment manager, 401(k) plan administrator or similar third party. This documentation must be provided to the Compliance Officer;

 

(b) Include in its documentation the specific amount, price and timing of the trade, or the formula for determining the amount, price and timing. For example, the Insider can buy or sell shares in a specific amount and on a specific date each month, or according to a pre-established percentage (of the Insider’s salary, for example) each time that the share price falls or rises to pre-established levels. In the case where trading decisions have been delegated, the specific amount, price and timing need not be provided;

 

(c) Be implemented at a time when the Insider does not possess material non-public information. As a practical matter, this means that the Insider may set up Pre-established Trades, or delegate trading discretion, only during a “Trading Window” (discussed in Section 1, above); and,

 

(d) Remain beyond the scope of the Insider’s influence after implementation. In general, the Insider must allow the Pre-established Trade to be executed without changes to the accompanying instructions, and the Insider cannot later execute a hedge transaction that modifies the effect of the Pre-established Trade. An Insider wishing to change the amount, price or timing of a Pre-established Trade, or terminate a Pre-established Trade, can do so only during a “Trading Window” (discussed in Section 1, above). If the Insider has delegated decision-making authority to a third party, the Insider cannot subsequently influence the third party in any way and such third party must not possess material non-public information at the time of any of the trades.

 

Prior to implementing a pre-established plan for trading, all officers and directors must receive the approval for such plan from the Compliance Officer.

 

3. Pre-Clearance of Trades.

 

Even during a Trading Window, all officers, directors, employees, as well as members of the immediate family or household of such individuals, must comply with the Company’s “pre-clearance” process prior to trading in the Company’s securities, implementing a pre-established plan for trading, or delegating decision-making authority over the Insider’s trades. To do so, each officer and director must contact the Compliance Officer prior to initiating any of these actions. Trades executed pursuant to a properly implemented Pre-Established Plan approved by the Compliance Officer do not need to be pre-cleared. The Company may also find it necessary, from time to time, to require compliance with the pre-clearance process from certain individuals other than those mentioned above.

 

A-6


 

4. Individual Responsibility.

 

As Insiders, every person subject to this Policy has the individual responsibility to comply with this Policy against insider trading, regardless of whether the Company has established a Trading Window applicable to that Insider or any other Insiders of the Company. Each individual, and not necessarily the Company, is responsible for his or her own actions and will be individually responsible for the consequences of their actions. Therefore, appropriate judgment, diligence and caution should be exercised in connection with any trade in the Company’s securities. An Insider may, from time to time, have to forego a proposed transaction in the Company’s securities even if he or she planned to make the transaction before learning of the Material Nonpublic Information and even though the Insider believes he or she may suffer an economic loss or forego anticipated profit by waiting.

 

5. Exceptions to the Policy.

 

Any exceptions to this Policy may only be made by advance written approval of each of: (i) the CEO, (ii) the Compliance Officer and (iii) the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board (or the Chairman of the Board of Directors if an Audit Committee has not been established). Any such exceptions shall be immediately reported to the remaining members of the Board.

 

SECTION VII

APPLICABILITY OF POLICY TO INSIDE INFORMATION

REGARDING OTHER COMPANIES

 

This Policy and the guidelines described herein also apply to Material Nonpublic Information relating to other companies, including the Company’s customers, vendors or suppliers or potential acquisition targets (“business partners”), when that information is obtained in the course of employment or performance of other services on behalf of the Company. Civil and criminal penalties, as well as termination of employment, may result from trading on inside information regarding the Company’s business partners. All employees should treat Material Nonpublic Information about the Company’s business partners with the same care as is required with respect to information relating directly to the Company.

 

SECTION VIII

PROHIBITION AGAINST BUYING AND SELLING

COMPANY COMMON STOCK WITHIN A SIX-MONTH PERIOD

 

Insiders

 

Generally, purchases and sales (or sales and purchases) of Company common stock occurring within any six-month period in which a mathematical profit is realized result in illegal “short-swing profits.” The prohibition against short-swing profits is found in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 16 was drafted as a rather arbitrary prohibition against profitable “insider trading” in a company’s securities within any six-month period regardless of the presence or absence of material nonpublic information that may affect the market price of those securities. Each executive officer, director and 10% or greater stockholder of the Company is subject to the prohibition against short-swing profits under Section 16. The measure of damages is the profit computed from any purchase and sale or any sale and purchase within the short-swing (i.e., six-month) period, without regard to any setoffs for losses, any first-in or first-out rules, or the identity of the shares of common stock. This approach sometimes has been called the “lowest price in, highest price out” rule and can result in a realization of “profits” for Section 16 purposes even when the insider has suffered a net loss on his or her trades.

Exhibit C

 

Section 13 Memorandum

 

To: Beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company’s registered equity securities

 

Re: Overview of Section 13 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

 

 

 

A. Introduction.

 

This Memorandum provides an overview of Section 13 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the related rules promulgated by the SEC.

 

Each beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s voting securities (including any Executive Officer or Director who reaches this threshold) (“Section 13 Reporting Persons”) of Jerash Holdings (US), Inc. (the “Company”) is personally responsible for complying with the provisions of Section 13, and failure by a Section 13 Reporting Person to comply strictly with his or her reporting requirements will result in an obligation by the Company to publicly disclose such failure. Moreover, Congress has granted the SEC authority to seek monetary court-imposed fines on Section 13 Reporting Persons who fail to timely comply with their reporting obligations.

 

Under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, reports made to the SEC are filed on Schedule 13D, Schedule 13G, Form 13F, and Form 13H. A securities firm (and, in some cases, its parent company or other control persons) generally will have a Section 13 reporting obligation if the firm directly or indirectly:

 

beneficially owns, in the aggregate, more than 5% of a class of the voting, equity securities (the “Section 13(d) Securities”):

 

registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act,

 

issued by any closed-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), or

 

issued by any insurance company that would have been required to register its securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act but for the exemption under Section 12(g)(2)(G) thereof (see Schedules 13D and 13G: Reporting Significant Acquisition and Ownership Positions below);

 

manages discretionary accounts that, in the aggregate, hold equity securities trading on a national securities exchange with an aggregate fair market value of $100 million or more; or

 

manages discretionary accounts that, in the aggregate, purchase or sell any NMS securities (generally exchange-listed equity securities and standardized options) in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than (i) 2 million shares or shares with a fair market value of over $20 million during a day, or (ii) 20 million shares or shares with a fair market value of over $200 million during a calendar month.

 

C-1


 

B. Reporting Requirements Under Section 13(d) and 13(g).

 

1. General. Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Exchange Act require any person or group of persons1 who directly or indirectly acquires or has beneficial ownership2 of more than 5% of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities (the “5% threshold”) to report such beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G, as appropriate. Both Schedule 13D and Schedule 13G require background information about the reporting persons and the Section 13(d) Securities listed on the schedule, including the name, address, and citizenship or place of organization of each reporting person, the amount of the securities beneficially owned and aggregate beneficial ownership percentage, and whether voting and investment power is held solely by the reporting persons or shared with others. Reporting persons that must report on Schedule 13D are also required to disclose a significant amount of additional information, including certain disciplinary events, the source and amount of funds or other consideration used to purchase the Section 13(d) Securities, the purpose of the acquisition, any plans to change or influence the control of the issuer, and a list of any transactions in the securities effected in the last 60 days. A reporting person may use the less burdensome Schedule 13G if it meets certain criteria described below.

 

In general, Schedule 13G is available to any reporting person that falls within one of the following three categories:

 

Exempt Investors. A reporting person is an “Exempt Investor” if the reporting person beneficially owns more than 5% of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities at the end of a calendar quarter, but its acquisition of the securities is exempt under Section 13(d)(6) of the Exchange Act. For example, a person that acquired all of its Section 13(d) Securities prior to the issuer’s registration of such securities (or class of securities) under the Exchange Act, or acquired no more than 2% of the Section 13(d) Securities within a 12-month period, is considered to be an Exempt Investor and would be eligible to file reports on Schedule 13G.

 

Qualified Institutions. Along with certain other institutions listed under the Exchange Act3, a reporting person that is a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer may file a Schedule 13G as a “Qualified Institution” if it (a) acquired its position in a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities in the ordinary course of its business, (b) did not acquire such securities with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of the issuer, nor in connection with any transaction with such purpose or effect (such purpose or effect, an “activist intent”), and (c) promptly notifies any discretionary account owner on whose behalf the firm holds more than 5% of the Section 13(d) Securities of such account owner’s potential reporting obligation.

  

 

1  A “group” is defined in Rule 13d-5 as “two or more persons [that] agree to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of an issuer.” See, for example, the persons described above in Reporting Obligations of “Control Persons”. An agreement to act together does not need to be in writing and may be inferred by the SEC or a court from the concerted actions or common objective of the group members.
2 Under Rule 13d-3, “beneficial ownership” of a security exists if a person, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship or otherwise, has or shares voting power and/or investment power over a security. “Voting power” means the power to vote or direct the voting of a security. “Investment power” means the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of a security. Under current SEC rules, a person holding securities-based swaps or other derivative contracts may be deemed to beneficially own the underlying securities if the swap or derivative contract provides the holder with voting or investment power over the underlying securities. Please contact us if you would like guidance regarding the application of Section 13 to securities-based swaps or other derivative contracts.

3 Under Rule 13d-1, a reporting person also qualifies as a Qualified Institution if it is a bank as defined in Section 3(a)(6) of the Exchange Act, an insurance company as defined in Section 3(a)(19) of the Exchange Act, an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act, or an employee benefit plan, savings association, or church plan. The term “Qualified Institution” also includes a non-U.S. institution that is the functional equivalent of any of the foregoing entities and the control persons and parent holding companies of an entity that qualifies as a Qualified Institution.

 

C-2


 

Passive Investors. A reporting person is a “Passive Investor” if it beneficially owns more than 5% but less than 20% of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities and (a) the securities were not acquired or held with an activist intent, and (b) the securities were not acquired in connection with any transaction having an activist intent. There is no requirement that a Passive Investor limit its acquisition of Section 13(d) Securities to purchases made in the ordinary course of its business. In addition, a Passive Investor does not have an obligation to notify discretionary account owners on whose behalf the firm holds more than 5% of such Section 13(d) Securities of such account owner’s potential reporting obligation.

 

2. Method of Filing.

 

(a) A Section 13 Reporting Person must file Section 13 schedules in electronic format via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”) in accordance with EDGAR rules set forth in Regulation S-T.

 

(b) Filing Date. Schedules are deemed filed with the SEC or the applicable exchange on the date recognized by EDGAR. For Section 13 purposes, filings may be made up to 10 p.m. EST. In the event that a due date falls on a weekend or SEC holiday, the filing will be deemed timely filed if it is filed on EDGAR by the next business day after such weekend or holiday. A Section 13 Reporting Person must first obtain several different identification codes from the SEC before the filings can be submitted. In order to receive such filing codes, the Section 13 Reporting Person first submits a Form ID to the SEC. The Form ID must be signed, notarized, and submitted electronically through the SEC’s Filer Management website, which can be accessed at https://www.filermanagement.edgarfiling.sec.gov. The Section 13 Reporting Person is required to retain a manually signed hard copy of all EDGAR filings (and related documents like powers of attorney) in its records available for SEC inspection for a period of five years after the date of filing.

 

(c) Company. In addition, the rules under Section 13 require that a copy of the applicable filing be sent to the issuer of the security at its principal executive office by registered or certified mail. A copy of Schedules filed pursuant to §§ 240.13d-1(a) and 240.13d-2(a) shall also be sent to each national securities exchange where the security is traded.

 

(d) Securities to be Reported. A person who is subject to Section 13 must only report as beneficially owned those securities in which he or she has a pecuniary interest. See the discussion of “beneficial ownership” below at Section D.

 

3. Initial Report of Ownership – Schedule 13D or 13G. Under Section 13, Section 13 Reporting Persons are required to make an initial report on Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G to the SEC of their holdings of all equity securities of the corporation (whether or not such equity securities are registered under the Exchange Act). This would include all traditional types of securities, such as ordinary shares, preferred shares and junior shares, as well as all types of derivative securities, such as warrants to purchase shares, options to purchase shares, puts and calls. Even Section 13 Reporting Persons who do not beneficially own any equity securities of the Company must file a report to that effect.

 

C-3


 

(a) Initial Filing Deadline. A Section 13 Reporting Person who is not eligible to use Schedule 13G must file a Schedule 13D within five business days of such reporting person’s direct or indirect acquisition of beneficial ownership of more than 5% of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities.

 

A reporting person that is an Exempt Investor is required to file its initial Schedule 13G within 45 days after the calendar quarter-end in which the person exceeds the 5% threshold.

 

A reporting person that is a Qualified Institution also is required to file its initial Schedule 13G within 45 days after the calendar quarter-end in which the person exceeds the 5% threshold. However, a Qualified Institution that acquires direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than 10% of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities must file an initial Schedule 13G within five business days after the first month in which the person exceeds the 10% threshold.

 

A reporting person that is a Passive Investor must file its initial Schedule 13G within five business days of the date on which it exceeds the 5% threshold.

 

(b) Switching from Schedule 13G to Schedule 13D. If a Section 13 Reporting Person that previously filed a Schedule 13G no longer satisfies the conditions to be an Exempt Investor, Qualified Institution, or Passive Investor, the person must switch to reporting its beneficial ownership of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities on a Schedule 13D (assuming that the person continues to exceed the 5% threshold). This could occur in the case of (1) a Section 13 Reporting Person that changes from acquiring or holding Section 13(d) Securities for passive investment to acquiring or holding such securities with an activist intent, (2) a Section 13 Reporting Person that is a Qualified Institution that deregisters as an investment adviser pursuant to an exemption under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or applicable state law, or (3) a Section 13 Reporting Person that is a Passive Investor that acquires 20% or more of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities. In each case, the Section 13 Reporting Person must file a Schedule 13D within five business days of the event that caused it to no longer satisfy the necessary conditions.

 

A Section 13 Reporting Person who is required to switch to reporting on a Schedule 13D will be subject to a “cooling off” period from the date of the event giving rise to a Schedule 13D obligation (such as the change to an activist intent or acquiring 20% of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities) until 10 calendar days after the filing of Schedule 13D. During the “cooling off” period, the reporting person may not vote or direct the voting of the Section 13(d) Securities or acquire additional beneficial ownership of such securities. Consequently, a person should file a Schedule 13D as soon as possible once he is obligated to switch from a Schedule 13G to reduce the duration of the “cooling off” period.

 

The Section 13 Reporting Person will thereafter be subject to the Schedule 13D reporting requirements with respect to the Section 13(d) Securities until such time as the former Schedule 13G reporting person once again qualifies as a Qualified Institution or Passive Investor with respect to the Section 13(d) Securities or has reduced its beneficial ownership interest below the 5% threshold. However, only a reporting person that was originally eligible to file a Schedule 13G and was later required to file a Schedule 13D may switch to reporting on Schedule 13G.4

C-4


 

4. Changes in Ownership – Amendments to Schedule 13D or 13G.

 

Amendments to Schedule 13D. If there has been any material change to the information in a Schedule 13D previously filed by a Section 13 Reporting Person5, the person must file an amendment to such Schedule 13D within two business days. A material change includes, without limitation, a reporting person’s acquisition or disposition of 1% or more of a class of the issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities, including as a result of an issuer’s repurchase of its securities. An acquisition or disposition of less than 1% may be considered a material change depending on the circumstances. A disposition that reduces a reporting person’s beneficial ownership interest below the 5% threshold, but is less than a 1% reduction, is not necessarily a material change that triggers an amendment to Schedule 13D. However, an amendment in such a circumstance is recommended to eliminate the reporting person’s filing obligations if the reporting person does not in the near term again expect to increase its ownership above 5%.

 

Amendments to Schedule 13G.

 

Quarterly. If a reporting person previously filed a Schedule 13G and there has been any material change to the information reported in such Schedule 13G as of the end of a calendar quarter, then an amendment to such Schedule 13G must be filed within 45 days of the calendar quarter end. A reporting person is not required to make a quarterly amendment to Schedule 13G if there has been no change since the previously filed Schedule 13G or if the only change results from a change in the person’s ownership percentage as a result of a change in the aggregate number of Section 13(d) Securities outstanding (e.g., due to an issuer’s repurchase of its securities).

 

Other than Quarterly (Qualified Institutions). A reporting person that previously filed a Schedule 13G as a Qualified Institution reporting beneficial ownership of less than 10% of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities, must file an amendment to its Schedule 13G within five business days of the end of the first month such Qualified Institution is the direct or indirect beneficial owner of more than 10% of a class of the issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities. Thereafter, within five business days after the end of any month in which the person’s direct or indirect beneficial ownership of such securities increases or decreases by more than 5% of the class of securities (computed as of the end of the month), the person must file an amendment to Schedule 13G.

 

Other than Quarterly (Passive Investors). A reporting person that previously filed a Schedule 13G as a Passive Investor must file an amendment within two business days after it directly or indirectly acquires more than 10% of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities. Thereafter, the reporting person must file an amendment to Schedule 13G within two business days after its direct or indirect beneficial ownership of such securities increases or decreases by more than 5%.

 

5. Reporting Identifying Information for Large Traders - Form 13H. Rule 13h-1 of the Exchange Act requires a Form 13H to be filed with the SEC by any individual or entity (each, a “Large Trader”) that, directly or indirectly, exercises investment discretion over one or more accounts and effects transactions in NMS Securities (as defined below) for those accounts through one or more registered broker-dealers that, in the aggregate, equal or exceed (a) 2 million shares or $20 million in fair market value during any calendar day, or (b) 20 million shares or $200 million in fair market value during any calendar month (each, an “identifying activity level”). Under Regulation NMS, an “NMS Security” is defined to include any U.S. exchange-listed equity securities and any standardized options, but does not include any exchange-listed debt securities, securities futures, or shares of open-end mutual funds that are not currently reported pursuant to an effective transaction reporting plan under the Exchange Act. A Large Trader must file an initial Form 13H promptly after effecting aggregate transactions equal to or greater than one of the identifying activity levels. The SEC has indicated that filing within 10 days will be deemed a prompt filing. Amendments to Form 13H must be filed within 45 days after the end of each full calendar year and then promptly following the end of a calendar quarter if any of the information on Form 13H becomes inaccurate.

 

 

5 This includes a change in the previously reported ownership percentage of a reporting person even if such change results solely from an increase or decrease in the aggregate number of outstanding securities of the issuer.

 

C-5


 

Form 13H requires that a Large Trader, reporting for itself and for any affiliate that exercises investment discretion over NMS securities, list the broker-dealers at which the Large Trader and its affiliates have accounts and designate each broker-dealer as a “prime broker,” an “executing broker,” and/or a “clearing broker.” Form 13H filings with the SEC are confidential and exempt from disclosure under the United States Freedom of Information Act. The information is, however, subject to disclosure to Congress and other federal agencies and when ordered by a court. If a securities firm has multiple affiliates in its organization that qualify as Large Traders, Rule 13h-1 permits the Large Traders to delegate their reporting obligation to a control person that would file a consolidated Form 13H for all of the Large Traders it controls. Otherwise, each Large Trader in the organization will be required to file a separate Form 13H.

 

6. Reporting Obligations of Control Persons and Clients.

 

The Firm’s Obligations. As discussed above, a securities firm is deemed to be the beneficial owner of Section 13(d) Securities in all accounts over which it exercises voting and/or investment power. Therefore, a firm will be a reporting person if it directly or indirectly acquires or has beneficial ownership of more than 5% of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities. Unless a securities firm has an activist intent with respect to the issuer of the Section 13(d) Securities, the firm generally will be able to report on Schedule 13G as either a Qualified Institution or as a Passive Investor.

 

Obligations of a Firm’s Control Persons. Any control person (as defined below) of a securities firm, by virtue of its ability to direct the voting and/or investment power exercised by the firm, may be considered an indirect beneficial owner of the Section 13(d) Securities. Consequently, the direct or indirect control persons of a securities firm may also be reporting persons with respect to a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities. The following persons are likely to be considered “control persons” of a firm:

 

any general partner, managing member, trustee, or controlling shareholder of the firm; and

 

the direct or indirect parent company of the firm and any other person that indirectly controls the firm (e.g., a general partner, managing member, trustee, or controlling shareholder of the direct or indirect parent company).

 

If a securities firm (or parent company) is directly or indirectly owned by two partners, members, trustees, or shareholders, generally each such partner, member, trustee, or shareholder is deemed to be a control person. For example, if a private fund that beneficially owns more than 5% of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities is managed by a securities firm that is a limited partnership, the general partner of which is a limited liability company that in turn is owned in roughly equal proportions by two managing members, then each of the private fund, the securities firm, the firm’s general partner, and the two managing members of the general partner likely will have an independent Section 13 reporting obligation.

 

C-6


 

Availability of Filing on Schedule 13G by Control Persons. Any direct and indirect control person of a securities firm may file a Schedule 13G as an Exempt Investor, a Qualified Institution or as a Passive Investor to the same extent as any other reporting person as described above. In order for a control person to file a Schedule 13G as a Qualified Institution, however, no more than 1% of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities may be held (i) directly by the control person or (ii) directly or indirectly by any of its subsidiaries or affiliates that are not Qualified Institutions. For example, a direct or indirect control person of a securities firm will not qualify as a Qualified Institution if more than 1% of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities is held by a private fund managed by the firm or other affiliate because a private fund is not among the institutions listed as a Qualified Institution under the Exchange Act.

 

A securities firm that has one of its control persons serving on an issuer’s board of directors may not be eligible to qualify as a Passive Investor with respect to such issuer. Even though the securities firm may not otherwise have an activist intent, the staff of the SEC has stated “the fact that officers and directors have the ability to directly or indirectly influence the management and policies of an issuer will generally render officers and directors unable to certify to the requirements” necessary to file as a Passive Investor.6

 

Obligations of a Firm’s Clients. If a client of a securities firm (including a private or registered fund or a separate account client) by itself beneficially owns more than 5% of a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities, the client has its own independent Section 13 reporting obligation.

 

Availability of Joint Filings by Reporting Persons. As discussed above, each reporting person has an independent reporting obligation under Section 13 of the Exchange Act. The direct and indirect beneficial owners of the same Section 13(d) Securities may satisfy their reporting obligations by making a joint Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G filing, provided that:

 

each reporting person is eligible to file on the Schedule used to make the Section 13 report (e.g., each person filing on a Schedule 13G is a Qualified Institution, Exempt Investor, or Passive Investor);

 

each reporting person is responsible for the timely filing of the Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G and for the completeness and accuracy of its information in such filing7; and

 

the Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G filed with the SEC (i) contains all of the required information with respect to each reporting person; (ii) is signed by each reporting person in his, her, or its individual capacity (including through a power of attorney); and (iii) has a joint filing agreement attached.

 

 

6 See Question 103.04 (September 14, 2009), Exchange Act Sections 13(d) and 13(g) and Regulation 13D-G Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC (the “Regulation 13D-G C&DIs”).
7 If the reporting persons are eligible to file jointly on Schedule 13G under separate categories (e.g., a private fund as a Passive Investor and its control persons as Qualified Institutions), then the reporting persons must comply with the earliest filing deadlines applicable to the group in filing any joint Schedule 13G.

 

C-7


 

C. Determining Beneficial Ownership.

 

In determining whether a securities firm has crossed the 5% threshold with respect to a class of an issuer’s Section 13(d) Securities8, it must include the positions held in any proprietary accounts and the positions held in all discretionary client accounts that it manages (including any private or registered funds, accounts managed by or for principals and employees, and accounts managed for no compensation), and positions held in any accounts managed by the firm’s control persons (which may include certain officers and directors) for themselves, their spouses, and dependent children (including IRA and most trust accounts).

 

1. Determining Who is a Five Percent Holder. Beneficial ownership in the Section 13 context is determined by reference to Rule 13d-3, which provides that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if that person has or shares voting or disposition power with respect to such securities, or can acquire such power within 60 days through the exercise or conversion of derivative securities.

 

2. Determining Beneficial Ownership for Reporting and Short-Swing Profit Liability. For all Section 13 purposes other than determining who is a five percent holder, beneficial ownership means a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in the subject securities through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise. “Pecuniary interest” means the opportunity, directly or indirectly, to profit or share in any profit derived from a transaction in the subject securities. Discussed below are several of the situations that may give rise to an indirect pecuniary interest.

 

(a) Family Holdings. A Section 13 Reporting Person is deemed to have an indirect pecuniary interest in securities held by members of the Section 13 Reporting Person’s immediate family sharing the same household. Immediate family includes grandparents, parents (and step-parents), spouses, siblings, children (and step-children) and grandchildren, as well as parents-in-laws, siblings-in-laws, children-in-law and all adoptive relationships. A Section 13 Reporting Person may disclaim beneficial ownership of shares held by members of his or her immediate family, but the burden of proof will be on the Section 13 Reporting Person to uphold the lack of a pecuniary interest.

 

(b) Partnership Holdings. Beneficial ownership of a partnership’s securities is attributed to the general partner of a limited partnership in proportion of such person’s partnership interest. Such interest is measured by the greater of the general partner’s share of partnership profits or of the general partner’s capital account (including any limited partnership interest held by the general partner).

 

(c) Corporate Holdings. Beneficial ownership of securities held by a corporation will not be attributed to its shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and who do not have or share investment control over the corporation’s portfolio securities.

 

 

8 In calculating the 5% test, a person is permitted to rely upon the issuer’s most recent interim or annual report for purposes of determining the amount of outstanding voting securities of the issuer, unless the person knows or has reason to believe that such information is inaccurate.

 

C-8


 

(d) Derivative Securities. Ownership of derivative securities (warrants, share appreciation rights, convertible securities, options and the like) is treated as indirect ownership of the underlying equity securities. Acquisition of derivative securities must be reported. If the derivative securities are acquired pursuant to an employee plan, the timing of such reporting depends upon the Rule 16b-3 status of the employee plan under which the grant was made.

 

D. Delinquent Filings.

 

1. Correcting Late Filings. In the case of a Section 13 Reporting Person that has failed to make required amendments to its Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G in a timely manner (i.e., any material changes), the Section 13 Reporting Person must immediately amend its schedule to disclose the required information. The SEC Staff has explained that, “[r]egardless of the approach taken, the security holder must ensure that the filings contain the information that it should have disclosed in each required amendment, including the dates and details of each event that necessitated a required amendment.” However, the SEC Staff has also affirmed that, irrespective of whether a security holder takes any of these actions, a security holder may still face liability under the federal securities laws for failing to promptly file a required amendment to a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G.

 

2. Potential Liability. The SEC may bring an enforcement action, in the context of a Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G filing, for violations of Section 13(d), Section 13(g), Rule 10b-5 and Section 10(b), provided that the SEC specifically shows: (1) a material misrepresentation or omission made by the defendant; (2) scienter on the part of the defendant; and (3) a connection between a misrepresentation or omission and purchase or sale of a security regarding the Rule 10b-5 claim it brings. The SEC may seek civil remedies in the form of injunctive relief, a cease-and-desist order, monetary penalties, and other forms of equitable relief (e.g., disgorgement of profits). Under Section 32 of the Exchange Act, criminal sanctions may also extend to the willful violation of Section 13(d) and Section 13(g). The U.S. Department of Justice, which prosecutes criminal offenses under the Exchange Act, may seek numerous penalties against any person that violates the Exchange Act and any rules thereunder, including a monetary fine of up to $5,000,000, imprisonment for up to 20 years and/or disgorgement.
