Explanatory Note

On June 13, 2013, S&W Seed Company, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), filed Amendment No. 1 to the Form 8-K it filed on April 5, 2013 disclosing the Company's acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Seed Genetics International Pty Ltd, an Australia corporation ("SGI"), from SGI's shareholders (the "Form 8-K"). Amendment No. 1 to the Form 8-K was filed with Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 (the "Prior Exhibits") to provide the historical audited financial statements, historical unaudited interim financial statements and pro forma financial information required under paragraphs (a) and (b) to Item 9.01of Form 8-K in connection with the acquisition of SGI by the Company.

On June 14, 2013, the Company filed Amendment No. 2 to the Form 8-K to correct errors in the Prior Exhibits.

This Amendment No. 3 to the Form 8-K is being filed to make technical corrections to the audit reports of Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd ("Grant Thornton") previously filed as part of Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 2. In particular, the audit reports for the audited financial statements of SGI for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are being supplemented and replaced by a combined audit report dated March 15, 2013. This combined audit report is being issued to state that Grant Thornton's audits of SGI were conducted in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, in addition to Australian Auditing Standards (as previously stated). In addition, Exhibit 99.1 hereto is being filed without Grant Thornton's previously filed "Auditor's Independence Declaration" and "Independent Auditor's Review Report" for the unaudited financial statements of SGI for the quarterly period ended as of March 31, 2013; these items are not required to accompany unaudited financial statements. Except as described herein, all other information in Exhibit 99.1 (as previously filed with Amendment No. 2), including the text of the financial statements and the footnotes, remains unchanged. Also, except as described herein, all other information in the Form 8-K and Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 thereto to Form 8-K remains unchanged.
