S&W Seed Company Provides Update on Delay of Form 10-K Filing for Fiscal Year 2024

LONGMONT, Colo., Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — S&W Seed Company (Nasdaq: SANW) today provided an update with respect to the Late Filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

The Company is continuing to work through reporting requirements as a component of the previously announced voluntary plan of administration (“VA”) for S&W Seed Company Australia Pty Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which was adopted on July 24, 2024. As part of its year-end closing procedures, the Company also reviewed applicable segment reporting requirements and concluded it did not prepare its fiscal year 2024 financial statements to include separate information regarding its reporting segments. Due to the change in its reportable segments, the Company is analyzing the impacts of this change under ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and is working to prepare all necessary segment disclosures with a goal to file its 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 and conduct a conference call as soon as possible.
