**PART III <br>NARRATIVE**<br>

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

HF Foods Group Inc. (the "Company") is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "Form 10-K") for the year ended December 31, 2022 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense due to delays in compiling necessary information required to be included in the Form 10-K as explained below. The Company will file its Form 10-K within the fifteen day extension period.

On January 31, 2023, HF Foods filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022. Due to the timing of those reports the Company requires additional time to complete its year end procedures.

Furthermore, the Company's management is also in the process of assessing the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures. Although the assessment is not yet complete, the Company expects to report material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Management expects to recommend to the audit committee of the Company various measures intended to remediate and improve the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Company does not expect the financial results to be included in the Form 10-K when filed to reflect any material changes from those included in the press release issued by the Company on March 16, 2023, which announced the results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 (the "Press Release"). The Press Release was furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2023; however, because review is ongoing, there can be no assurance that such information will not change upon the filing of the Company's Form 10-K.

**DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words such as "expect," "will," "anticipates," "estimates" and variations of such words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to the Company's expectations regarding the Company's financial results and results of operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, and the Company's beliefs and expectations regarding the timing of the completion of the Company's financial statements and the filing of the Form 10-K, all of which reflect the Company's expectations based upon currently available information and data. Because such statements are based on the Company's current expectations and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected or estimated and you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside the Company's control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims and does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this report, except as required by applicable law or regulation.
