Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks China Green Agriculture names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Oct 21, 2025: 69 risks under these headings, as written.21

  • Risks Related to Our Business
  • The industry in which we do business is highly fragmented and competitive and we face competition from numerous fertilizer manufacturers in China and elsewhere.
  • If we are unable to design, manufacture, and market fertilizer products in a timely and efficient manner, we may not remain as competitive.
  • Our proprietary fertilizer formula may become obsolete or be unintentionally disclosed to competitors, which could materially adversely affect the competitiveness of our future fertilizer products.
  • If our warehouse selling and credit sales of certain fertilizer products continue to increase and we fail to collect the accounts receivable that are due in a timely manner, our financial condition and results of operation may be materially adversely affected.
  • If we fail to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, we may be exposed to intellectual property infringement, and the value of our intellectual property rights could diminish.
  • If we infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties, we could be prevented from selling products, forced to pay damages and compelled to defend against claims by third parties, which, if successful, could cause us to pay significant damage awards and incur other costs.

The individual alleges that the Company used funds he stored in cryptocurrency wallets operated by entities related to Mr. Pan to purchase cryptocurrency mining sites. The Company has moved to dismiss the lawsuit in which motion is pending.
