Note 1 - Business Activities
Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (the “Company”) conducts wholesale coffee operations, including manufacturing, roasting, packaging, marketing and distributing roasted and blended coffees for private labeled accounts and its own brands, and it sells green coffee. The Company also manufactures and sells coffee roasters. The Company’s core product, coffee, can be summarized and divided into three product categories (“product lines”) as follows:
Wholesale Green Coffee: unroasted raw beans imported from around the world and sold to large and small roasters and coffee shop operators;
Private Label Coffee: coffee roasted, blended, packaged and sold under the specifications and names of others, including supermarkets that want to have their own brand name on coffee to compete with national brands; and,
Branded Coffee: coffee roasted and blended to the Company’s own specifications and packaged and sold under the Company’s eight proprietary and licensed brand names in different segments of the market.
The Company’s private label and branded coffee sales are primarily to customers that are located throughout the United States with limited sales in Canada and certain countries in Asia. Such customers include supermarkets, wholesalers, and individually-owned and multi-unit retailers. The Company’s unprocessed green coffee, which includes over 90 specialty coffee offerings, is sold primarily to specialty gourmet roasters and to coffee shop operators in the United States with limited sales in Australia, Canada, England and China.
The Company’s wholesale green, private label, and branded coffee product categories generate revenues and cost of sales individually but incur selling, general and administrative expenses in the aggregate. There are no individual product managers and discrete financial information is not available for any of the product lines. The Company’s product portfolio is used in one business and it operates and competes in one business activity and economic environment. In addition, the three product lines share customers, manufacturing resources, sales channels, and marketing support. Thus, the Company considers the three product lines to be one single reporting segment.
Going Concern and Liquidity
The
Company’s line of credit will be due June 29, 2025 (see Note 6). The agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with
certain financial covenants computed on a quarterly and annual basis. As of January 31, 2025, the Company is in compliance with those
financial covenants. The Company has net income for the three months ended January 31, 2025 of $

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policy
The Company’s fiscal year ends on October 31 of each calendar year. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on substantially the same basis as its annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The October 31, 2024 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data in this document was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended October 31, 2024 and notes thereto included in the Company’s fiscal 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 31, 2025 (the “2024 10-K”). The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries, Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO”), Sonofresco, LLC (“SONO”), Comfort Foods, Inc, and Second Empire, LLC (“Second Empire”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and comply with SEC reporting requirements.
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the Company’s 2024 10-K, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended January 31, 2025.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the five-step model as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”) in which the Company evaluates the transfer of promised goods or services and recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The following table presents revenues by product line for the three months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Adopted
The Company follows the FASB Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326).” This guidance requires entities to use a current expected credit loss impairment model rather than incurred losses. The Company considers factors such as credit quality, age of balances, historical experience and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company’s expectation of collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The standard became effective for the Company on November 1, 2023. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting – Improving Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280).” The standard is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The standard requires disclosure to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also requires all annual disclosures currently required by ASC Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, however; it did result in enhanced disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements – Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.” This standard affects a wide variety of Topics in the Codification. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures, The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3 – Business Combination

November 6, 2024, the Company (through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Second Empire) purchased the remaining assets of Empire Coffee
Company for $
The
Company has accounted for the Second Empire Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting,
whereby the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired identifiable net assets purchased in the Second Empire Acquisition
based on assessments of their respective fair values. The provisional fair value estimates of the assets acquired are subject to
subsequent adjustments as additional information is obtained during the applicable measurement period. The assets purchased
consisted of equipment, accounts receivable and inventories. The Company has determined that no portion of the purchase price is
allocated to intangible assets as there were no acquired intangibles that are considered identifiable under ASC 805. In addition,
the Company determined that the acquired equipment had no value as it was originally purchased in the mid-1990s and has been fully
depreciated for a few years. Based on a fair value assessment, all value has been attributed to tangible assets. Second Empire will

Note 5 - Commodities Held by Broker
The Company has used, and intends to continue to use in a limited capacity, short term coffee futures and options contracts primarily for the purpose of partially hedging and minimizing the effects of changing green coffee prices and to reduce cost of sales.
The commodities held by broker represent the market value of the Company’s trading account, which consists of options and futures contracts for coffee held with a brokerage firm. The Company uses options and futures contracts, which are not designated or qualifying as hedging instruments, to partially hedge the effects of fluctuations in the price of green coffee beans. Options and futures contracts are level 1 investments recognized at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements with current recognition of gains and losses on such positions. The Company’s accounting for options and futures contracts may impact earnings volatility in any particular period. The Company records all open contract positions on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value in the due from and due to broker line items and typically do not offset these assets and liabilities.
The Company classifies its options and future contracts as trading securities and accordingly, realized and unrealized holding gains and losses are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of cost of sales.
The Company recorded realized and unrealized gains and losses respectively, on these contracts as follows:

Note 13 – Segment Information
ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is Andrew Gordon, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director. The Company has one reportable segment: coffee. The Company derives revenue in North America only and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis.
The coffee segment derives revenue from the sale of wholesale green coffee, private label coffee and branded coffee. Revenue for these product lines is recognized upon shipment to the customer. The CODM assesses performance for the coffee segment and decides how to allocate resources based on operating income (loss) that also is reported on statement of operations as consolidated income (loss) from operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets.
When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews the following key metrics:

The CODM uses operating income (loss) to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the coffee segment or into other parts of the entity such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends. Intra-entity sales and cash transfers are eliminated in operating income (loss) used by the CODM.

We have based these forward-looking statements upon information available to management as of the date of this Form 10-Q and management’s expectations and projections about future events, including, among other things:
| ● | our dependency on a single commodity could affect our revenues and profitability; | |
| ● | our success in expanding our market presence in new geographic regions; | |
| ● | the effectiveness of our hedging policy may impact our profitability; | |
| ● | the success of our joint ventures; | |
| ● | our success in implementing our business strategy or introducing new products; | |
| ● | our ability to attract and retain customers; | |
| ● | our ability to obtain additional financing; | |
| ● | our ability to comply with the restrictive covenants we are subject to under our current financing; | |
| ● | the effects of competition from other coffee manufacturers and other beverage alternatives; | |
| ● | the impact to the operations of our Colorado facility; | |
| ● | general economic conditions and conditions which affect the market for coffee; | |
| ● | our expectations regarding, and the stability of, our supply chain, including potential shortages or interruptions in the supply or delivery of green coffee; | |
| ● | the macro global economic environment; | |
| ● | our ability to maintain and develop our brand recognition; | |
| ● | the impact of rapid or persistent fluctuations in the price of coffee beans; | |
| ● | fluctuations in the supply of coffee beans; | |
| ● | the volatility of our common stock; and | |
| ● | other risks which we identify in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). |
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate” and similar expressions (or the negative of such expressions). Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this quarterly report and in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. In addition, we undertake no responsibility to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this quarterly report.
Overview
We are an integrated wholesale coffee roaster and dealer primarily in the United States and one of the few coffee companies that offers a broad array of coffee products across the entire spectrum of consumer tastes, preferences and price points. As a result, we believe that we are well-positioned to increase our profitability and endure potential coffee price volatility throughout varying cycles of the coffee market and economic conditions.
| 1 |
Our operations have primarily focused on the following areas of the coffee industry:
| ● | the sale of wholesale specialty green coffee; | |
| ● | the roasting, blending, packaging and sale of private label coffee; | |
| ● | the roasting, blending, packaging and sale of our eight brands of coffee; and | |
| ● | sales of our tabletop coffee roasting equipment. |
Our operating results are affected by a number of factors including:
| ● | the level of marketing and pricing competition from existing or new competitors in the coffee industry; | |
| ● | our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers; | |
| ● | our hedging policy; | |
| ● | fluctuations in purchase prices and supply of green coffee and in the selling prices of our products; and | |
| ● | our ability to manage inventory and fulfillment operations and maintain gross margins. |
Our net sales are driven primarily by the success of our sales and marketing efforts and our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers. For this reason, we have made, and will continue to evaluate, strategic decisions to acquire and invest in measures that are expected to increase net sales.
Our sales are affected by the price of green coffee. We purchase our green coffee from dealers located primarily within the United States. The dealers supply us with coffee beans from many countries, including Colombia, Mexico, Kenya, Indonesia, Brazil and Uganda. The supply and price of coffee beans are subject to volatility and are influenced by numerous factors which are beyond our control. For example, in Brazil, which produces approximately 40% of the world’s green coffee, the coffee crops are historically susceptible to frost in June and July and drought in September, October and November. However, because we purchase coffee from a number of countries and are able to freely substitute one country’s coffee for another in our products, price fluctuations in one country generally have not had a material impact on the price we pay for coffee. Accordingly, price fluctuations in one country generally have not had a material effect on our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. Historically, because we generally have been able to pass green coffee price increases through to customers, increased prices of green coffee generally result in increased net sales, irrespective of sales volume.
The supply and price of coffee beans are subject to volatility and are influenced by numerous factors which are beyond our control. Historically, we have used, and intend to continue to use in a limited capacity, short-term coffee futures and options contracts primarily for the purpose of partially hedging the effects of changing green coffee prices. In addition, we acquired, and expect to continue to acquire, futures contracts with longer terms, generally three to four months, primarily for the purpose of guaranteeing an adequate supply of green coffee. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on options and futures contracts are reflected in our cost of sales. Gains on options and futures contracts reduce our cost of sales and losses on options and futures contracts increase our cost of sales. The use of these derivative financial instruments has generally enabled us to mitigate the effect of changing prices. We believe that, in normal economic times, our hedging policies remain a vital element to our business model not only in controlling our cost of sales, but also giving us the flexibility to obtain the inventory necessary to continue to grow our sales while trying to minimize margin compression during a time of historically high coffee prices.
However, no strategy can entirely eliminate pricing risks and we generally remain exposed to losses on futures contracts when prices decline significantly in a short period of time, and we would generally remain exposed to supply risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to any of our futures contracts. Although we have had net gains on options and futures contracts in the past, we have incurred significant losses on options and futures contracts during some recent reporting periods. In these cases, our cost of sales has increased, resulting in a decrease in our profitability or increase our losses. Such losses have and could in the future materially increase our cost of sales and materially decrease our profitability and adversely affect our stock price. If our hedging policy is not effective, we may not be able to control our coffee costs, we may be forced to pay greater than market value for green coffee and our profitability may be reduced. Failure to properly design and implement an effective hedging strategy may materially adversely affect our business and operating results. If the hedges that we enter do not adequately offset the risks of coffee bean price volatility or our hedges result in losses, our cost of sales may increase, resulting in a decrease in profitability or increased losses. As previously announced, as a result of the volatile nature of the commodities markets, we have and are continuing to scale back our use of hedging and short-term trading of coffee futures and options contracts, and intend to continue to use these practices in a limited capacity going forward.
Recent Developments
On November 6, 2024, Second Empire, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Secured Creditor Sale Agreement with Bridge Business Credit, LLC (“Seller”). The sale was a Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) Chapter 9 sale to purchase equipment, accounts receivable and inventory of Empire Coffee Company, Inc. (“Empire Coffee Company”).
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended January 31, 2025. Critical accounting policies and the significant estimates in accordance with such policies are regularly discussed with our Audit Committee. Those policies are discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, each in our 2024 10-K.

Three Months Ended January 31, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended January 31, 2024
Net Sales. Net sales totaled $21,305,285 for the three months ended January 31, 2025, an increase of $1,764,883, or 9%, from $19,540,402 for the three months ended January 31, 2024. The increase in net sales was due to increased sales of private label and our brands to our wholesale and retail customers.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended January 31, 2025 was $15,573,359, or 73.1% of net sales, as compared to $16,060,103, or 82.2% of net sales, for the three months ended January 31, 2024, a decrease of $486,744. Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of green coffee and packaging materials. This increase in gross margin was due to favorable green coffee prices that were initiated during the three months ended January 31, 2025 for our roasted coffee customers and the cost of goods sold was favorably impacted by an improved inventory situation, along with increased prices to both our wholesale and retail customers, reflecting higher market conditions. Additionally, net sales increased due to higher sales of our private label and branded products to both wholesale and retail customers.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended January 31, 2025 amounted to $5,731,926 or 26.9% of net sales, as compared to $3,480,299 or 17.8% of net sales, for the three months ended January 31, 2024. The increase in gross profits on a percentage and dollar basis was attributable to the factors listed above.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased by $1,277,507 to $4,140,895 for the three months ended January 31, 2025 from $2,863,388 for the three months ended January 31, 2024. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $1,239,551 and officers’ salaries increased by $37,956. The increase in selling and administrative expenses was due to higher payroll costs, professional fees, and the acquisition of Empire Coffee Company.
Other Income (Expense). Other income for the three months ended January 31, 2025 was $31,683, a decrease of $91,867 from other income of $123,550 for the three months ended January 31, 2024. The change was attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $85,863.
Income Taxes. Our expense for income taxes for the three months ended January 31, 2025 totaled $406,092 compared to an expense of $142,337 for the three months ended January 31, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to the difference in the income for the quarter ended January 31, 2025 versus the income in the quarter ended January 31, 2024.
Net Income (Loss). We had net income of $1,153,256, or $0.20 per share basic and diluted, for the three months ended January 31, 2025 compared to a net loss of $351,024, or $0.06 per share basic and diluted, for the three months ended January 31, 2024.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern
As of January 31, 2025, we had working capital of $22,386,733, which represented a $859,750 increase from our working capital of $ 21,526,983 as of October 31, 2024. Our working capital increased primarily due to the $495,767 increase in due from broker, a $980,195 increase in cash and cash equivalents, and a $2,398,168 increase in accounts receivable offset by a $2,200,000 increase on the line of credit.
On April 25, 2017, we and one of our subsidiaries, Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO” and together with us, collectively referred to herein as the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “A&R Loan Agreement”) and Amended and Restated Loan Facility (the “A&R Loan Facility”) with Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”), which was later acquired by Webster Financial Corp. (“Webster”), which consolidated (i) the financing agreement between us and Sterling, dated February 17, 2009, as modified, and (ii) the financing agreement between us, as guarantor, OPTCO and Sterling, dated March 10, 2015, amongst other things.
On March 17, 2022, we reached an agreement for a new loan modification agreement and credit facility which extended the maturity date to June 29, 2022. The facility was then approved for a two-year extension. All other terms of the A&R Loan Agreement and A&R Loan Facility remained the same.
On June 28, 2022, we reached an agreement for a new loan modification agreement and credit facility with Webster. The terms of the new agreement, among other things: (i) provided for a new maturity date of June 30, 2024, and (ii) changed the interest rate per annum to SOFR plus 1.75% (with such interest rate not to be lower than 3.50%). All other terms of the A&R Loan Agreement and A&R Loan Facility remained the same.
| 3 |
On March 15, 2023, the A&R Loan Agreement was also modified to, among other things: (i) provide for a requirement for subordination agreements, if necessary, (ii) change the terms of transactions with affiliates from a dollar limitation to allowable in the ordinary course of business, and (iii) establish a new covenant for a fixed charge coverage ratio. As further explained in Note 6 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to maintain certain financial covenants with respect to our line of credit agreement. We were not in compliance with these requirements as of October 31, 2023. We have since received a waiver from the lender on May 24, 2024 and are in compliance with all requirements.
On June 27, 2024, the Borrowers entered into the Tenth Loan Modification Agreement with Webster which amended the A&R Loan Agreement to, among other things: (i) provide for a new loan maturity date of June 29, 2025, (ii) provide that the applicable margin requirement for any revolving loan outstanding under the A&R Loan Agreement to 2.25%, (iii) provide that the maximum facility amount shall be $10,000,000 and (iv) to adjust certain definitions and terms related to the borrowing base and leverage ratios applicable to the A&R Loan Agreement.
Each of the A&R Loan Facility and A&R Loan Agreement contains covenants, subject to certain exceptions, that place annual restrictions on the Borrowers’ operations, including covenants relating to debt restrictions, capital expenditures, indebtedness, minimum deposit restrictions, tangible net worth, net profit, leverage, employee loan restrictions, dividend and repurchase restrictions (common stock and preferred stock), and restrictions on intercompany transactions. The outstanding balance on our line of credit was $2,200,000 and $9,620,000 as of January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively.
For the three months ended January 31, 2025, our operating activities used cash of $401,898 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2024 when operating activities provided net cash of $4,594,849. The decrease in cash flow from operations was primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable from October 31, 2024 to January 31, 2025, compared to a decrease in accounts receivable of $2,524,747 from October 31, 2023 to January 31, 2024. Non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization, unrealized gain on commodities, loss on equity method investments, amortization of right-of-use assets, and deferred income taxes, resulted in cash used of $393,042 for the three months ended January 31, 2025 compared to non-cash charges provided of $513,003 for the three months ended January 31, 2024.
For the three months ended January 31, 2025, our investing activities provided used cash of $817,906 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2024 when net cash used in investing activities was $0. The decrease in our cash provided by investing activities was due to purchases of machinery and equipment during the three months ended January 31, 2025.
For the three months ended January 31, 2025, our financing activities used net cash of $2,200,000 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $4,920,963 for the three months ended January 31, 2024. The change in cash flow from financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2025 was primarily due to our credit line activity.
We expect to fund our operations, including paying our liabilities, funding capital expenditures and making required payments on our indebtedness, through at least the next twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, with cash provided by operating activities and the use of our credit facility. In addition, an increase in eligible accounts receivable and inventory would permit us to make additional borrowings under our line of credit.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, which includes our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Material Weakness Over Financial Reporting
We determined that our controls were inadequate to prevent and detect misstatements of quantities of inventory at one of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.
We determined that there were inappropriate system access controls over the financial reporting system. These controls were not designed to prevent or detect unauthorized changes to source information or implement an appropriate level of segregation of duties. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.
We determined that we lacked adequate controls with respect to identifying and accounting for material contracts. This was evidenced by our failure to properly identify and account for a material lease amendment. Accordingly, management has determined that this was a control deficiency that constituted a material weakness.
We determined that we lacked adequate controls with respect to physical custody of certain hardware, electronic and hard copy records of Generations Coffee and its component operation known as Steep and Brew following the Company relocation or vacating of certain premises used in the operations of that business unit. Accordingly, management has determined that this is a control deficiency that constituted a material weakness.
We concluded that we lacked adequate controls with respect to the preparation and review of journal entries and account reconciliations during the year-end financial statement closing process. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.
We concluded, after discussion with management, that our financial statements inaccurately accounted for certain intercompany eliminations in our consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. As a result, we determined that there was an overstatement of net sales and cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations of approximately $8.3 million in our financial statements during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, which required a restatement of the previously issued financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. This was due to inadequate design and implementation of controls to evaluate and monitor the presentation and compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America related to the statement of operations. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.
We concluded that we lacked adequate controls with respect to recording year end accruals for vendor liabilities and properly calculating required loan covenants. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.
Notwithstanding such material weaknesses, we believe the financial information presented herein is materially correct and fairly presents the financial position and operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2025 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
| 5 |
Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses
As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our 2024 10-K, management has identified material weaknesses as of that date. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. To remediate the material weaknesses identified above, we are initiating controls and procedures in order to:
| ● | educate control owners concerning the principles and requirements of each control, with a focus on those related to user access to our financial reporting systems impacting financial reporting; | |
| ● | develop and maintain documentation to promote knowledge transfer upon personnel and function changes; | |
| ● | develop enhanced controls and reviews related to our financial reporting systems; | |
| ● | perform an in-depth analysis of who should have access to perform key functions within our financial reporting system that impact financial reporting and redesign aspects of the system to better allow the access rights to be implemented; | |
| ● | perform a cross-reference analysis on a quarterly basis; and | |
| ● | implement additional levels of internal review of financial statements and any adjustments made thereto. |
The material weaknesses identified above will not be considered remediated until our remediation efforts have been fully implemented and we have concluded that these controls are operating effectively.
Management does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.
Management will seek to remediate such deficiencies over the coming quarters.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the changes intended to remediate the material weaknesses as discussed above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
