SUMMARY
OF THE COMPANY
Our
History
MamaMancini’s
Holdings, Inc. (formerly Mascot Properties, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2009. Mascot Properties,
Inc.’s (“Mascot”) activities since its inception consisted of trying to locate real estate properties to manage,
primarily related to student housing, and services which included general property management, maintenance and activities coordination
for residents. Mascot did not have any significant development of such business and did not derive any revenue. Due to the lack
of results in its attempt to implement its original business plan, management determined it was in the best interests of the shareholders
to look for other potential business opportunities.
On
February 22, 2010, MamaMancini’s LLC was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of New Jersey
in order to commercialize our initial products. On March 5, 2012, the members of MamaMancini’s, LLC, holders of 4,700 units
(the “Units”) of MamaMancini’s LLC, exchanged the Units for 15,000,000 shares of common stock and those certain
options to purchase an additional 223,404 shares of MamaMancini’s Inc. (the “Exchange”). Upon consummation of
the Exchange, MamaMancini’s LLC ceased to exist and all further business has been and continues to be conducted by MamaMancini’s
Inc.
On
January 24, 2013, Mascot, Mascot Properties Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
(“Merger Sub”), MamaMancini’s Inc., a privately-held Delaware Corporation headquartered in New Jersey (“Mama’s”)
and David Dreslin, an individual (the “Majority Shareholder”), entered into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into Mama’s, with Mama’s surviving
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The transaction (the “Closing”) took place
on January 24, 2013 (the “Closing Date”). Mascot acquired, through a reverse triangular merger, all of the outstanding
capital stock of Mama’s in exchange for issuing Mama’s shareholders (the “Mama’s Shareholders”),
pro-rata, a total of 20,054,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Merger, the Mama’s Shareholders
became the majority shareholders of Mascot. Immediately following the Closing of the Agreement, Mascot changed its business plan
to that of Mama’s. On March 8, 2013, Mascot received notice from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)
that its application to change its name and symbol had been approved and effective Monday, March 11, 2013, Mascot began trading
under its new name, “MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc.” (“MamaMancini’s” or the “Company”)
and under its new symbol, “MMMB”.
On
November 1, 2017, MamaMancini’s, Joseph Epstein Food Enterprises, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“JEFE”), and
MMMB Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MamaMancini’s (“Merger Sub”), completed
a merger transaction whereby JEFE merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly
owned subsidiary of MamaMancini’s. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement and in connection with the merger, the Company
acquired all assets of JEFE. The consideration for the transaction was (a) the extinguishment of the Inter-Company Loan between
the parties, (b) the assumption by the Company of all JEFE accounts payable and accrued expenses (c) assumption by the Company
of certain third-party loans to JEFE totaling approximately $782,000 and (d) indemnification of Carl Wolf with respect to his
collateralization of a bank loan to JEFE in the amount of approximately $250,000. As a result of the transaction, (i) the Company
became the sole shareholder of JEFE, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. No cash or stock was exchanged
in connection with the transaction.
Our
Company
MamaMancini’s
roots go back to our founder Dan Dougherty, whose grandmother Anna “Mama” Mancini emigrated from Bari, Italy to Bay
Ridge, Brooklyn in 1921. Our products were developed using her old-world Italian recipes that were handed down to her grandson,
Dan Dougherty. Today we market a line of all-natural specialty prepared, frozen and refrigerated foods for sale in retailers around
the country. Our primary products include beef and turkey meatballs, meat loaf, chicken, sausage-related products and pasta entrees,
all with slow cooked Italian Sauce.
Our
products are all natural, contain a minimum number of ingredients and are generally derived from the original recipes of Anna
“Mama” Mancini. Our products appeal to health-conscious consumers who seek to avoid artificial flavors, synthetic
colors and preservatives that are used in many conventional packaged foods.
The
United States Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”) defines all natural as a product that contains no artificial
ingredients, coloring ingredients or chemical preservatives and is minimally processed. The Company’s products were submitted
to the USDA and approved as all natural. The Food and Safety and Inspection Service (“FSIS”) Food Standards and Labeling
Policy Book (2003) requires meat and poultry labels to include a brief statement directly beneath or beside the “natural”
Label claim that “explains what is meant by the term natural i.e., that the product is a natural food because it contains
no artificial ingredients and is only minimally processed”. The term “natural” may be used on a meat label or
poultry label if the product does not contain any artificial flavor or flavoring, coloring ingredient, chemical preservative,
or any other artificial or synthetic ingredient. Additionally, the term “all natural” can be used if the FSIS approves
your product and label claims. The Company’s product and label claims have been approved by the FSIS to contain the all-natural
label.
Additionally,
the Company has recently commenced marketing of certain “meatless” versions of its product line under a Trademark
Licensing Agreement with Beyond Meat, Inc.
Our
products are principally sold to supermarkets and mass-market retailers. We currently have 26 different product offerings which
are packaged in different sized retail and bulk packages. Our products are principally sold in multiple sections of the supermarket,
including hot bars, salad bars, prepared foods (meals), sandwich, as well as cold deli and foods-to-go sections. Our products
are also sold in the frozen food and fresh meat sections. We sell directly to both food retailers and food distributors.
Finally,
we also sell our products on QVC through live on-air offerings, auto ship programs and for everyday purchases on their web site.
QVC is the world’s largest direct to consumer marketer.
During
the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company earned revenues from three customers representing approximately 46%, 11% and 10%
of gross sales. During the year ended January 31, 2020, these three customers represented approximately 34%, 16% and 8% of total
gross outstanding receivables, respectively. During the year ended January 31, 2019, the company earned revenues from two customers
representing approximately 50% and 10% of gross sales. As of January 31, 2019, three customers represented approximately 44%,
19% and 13% of total gross outstanding receivables, respectively.
The
Company continually reviews its accounts in order to focus on maximum performance, and as a result periodically eliminates under-performing
accounts.
Industry
Overview
Our
products are considered specialty prepared foods, in that they are all natural, taste great, are authentic Italian and are made
with high quality ingredients. The market for specialty and prepared foods spans several sections of the supermarket, including
frozen, deli- prepared foods, and the specialty meat segment of the meat department.
Our
Strengths
We
believe that the following strengths differentiate our products and our brand:
|
●
|
Authentic
recipes and great taste. Our products are founded upon Anna “Mama” Mancini’s
old-world Italian recipes. We believe the authenticity of our products has enabled us
to build and maintain loyalty and trust among our current customers and will help us
attract new customers. Additionally, we continuously receive positive customer testimonials
regarding the great taste and quality of our products.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Healthy
and convenient. Our products are made only from high quality natural ingredients,
including domestic inspected beef, whole Italian tomatoes, genuine imported Pecorino
Romano, real eggs, natural breadcrumbs, olive oil and other herbs and spices. Our products
are also simple to prepare. Virtually every product we offer is ready-to-serve within
12 minutes, thereby providing quick and easy meal solutions for our customers. By including
the sauce and utilizing a tray with our packaging, our meatballs can be prepared quickly
and easily.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Great
value. We strive to provide our customers with a great tasting product using all-natural
ingredients at an affordable price. Typical retail prices for 16 oz. packages ranges
from $4.99 to $7.99, and $5.99 to $9.99 for bulk products sold in delis or hot bars.
We believe the sizes of our product offerings represent a great value for the price.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
New
products and innovation. Since our inception, we have continued to introduce new
and innovative products. While we pride on ourselves on our traditional beef and turkey
meatballs and meat loaf, we have continuously made efforts to grow and diversify our
line of products while maintaining our high standards for all natural, healthy ingredients
and great taste.
|
Customers/Management
|
●
|
Strong
consumer loyalty. Many of our consumers are loyal and enthusiastic brand advocates.
Our consumers trust us to deliver great-tasting products made with all-natural ingredients.
Consumers have actively communicated with us through our website and/or social media
channels. We believe that this consumer interaction has generated interest in our products
and has inspired enthusiasm for our brand. We also believe that enthusiasm for our products
has led and will continue to lead to repeat purchases and new consumers trying our products.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Experienced
leadership. We have a proven and experienced senior management team. Our Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman, Carl Wolf, has been with us since inception and has over 35 years
of experience in the management and operations of food companies. Mr. Wolf was the founder,
majority shareholder, Chairman of the Board, and CEO of Alpine Lace Brands, Inc., a public
company engaged in the development, marketing and distribution of cheese, deli meats
and other specialty food products, which was sold to Land O’Lakes, Inc. In addition,
the other members of our board of directors also have significant experience in the food
industry.
|
Our
Growth Strategy
We
are actively executing a strategy to build our brand’s reputation, grow sales and improve our product and operating margins
by pursuing the following growth initiatives:
|
●
|
Increase
product placements in the perimeter within retail locations. We strive for product
placements in the perishable departments of retail locations. We believe adding shelf
placements within the supermarkets that carry our products will increase customer awareness,
leading to more consumers purchasing our products and expanding our market share.
|
|
●
|
Increase
Sales in “Fresh” Section. Increase sales in the “Fresh” section
(in the perimeter of the retainer), where there is significant sales growth and higher
margins, over products in the “Frozen” section which are showing zero to
negative growth.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Increase
retail locations. We intend to increase sales by expanding the number of retail stores
that sell our products in the mainstream grocery and mass merchandiser channels.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Increase
Overall Sales. We have an experienced sales staff and now employ one full time Vice
President of Sales as well as our Co-Founder Dan Dougherty, Carl Wolf, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman, and Matthew Brown, our President, each of whom is involved with
selling to, and managing sales with, major supermarket chains. In addition, the Company
has contracted with an independent consultant to manage sales opportunities in the food
service area as well as an independent person to solicit sales in colleges and universities
and independent delicatessens,
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Expand
food brokerage network. We currently work with retail food brokers nationwide and
intend to add additional food brokers to increase our geographical coverage in the United
States to approximately 90%.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Enhance
awareness through marketing. We have increased our social media activity with Facebook,
Twitter, Pinterest, and YouTube. We have also expanded our activity with Sirius Radio
by 25% in calendar 2020 over 2019. We also engage with consumers through newsletter mailings,
blogs, and special projects, including a bank of recipe videos and contests and giveaways.
Targeted consumer merchandising activity, including virtual couponing, on-pack couponing,
mail-in rebates, product demonstrations, and co-op retail advertising will continue into
the future in order to increase sales and generate new customers.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Adding
new products. Our market research and consumer testing enable us to identify attractive
new product opportunities. We intend to continue to introduce new products in both existing
and new product lines that appeal to a wide range of consumers.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Maintain
a Strong Relationship with QVC. The Company currently offers various lines through
QVC and intends to increase its product line offerings offered through QVC.
|
|
|
|

Increase
Media Exposure. Increase the visibility of Dan Dougherty (Mancini) in the media as a product spokesman.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|

Stores”. The Company is aggressively pursuing sales to “Club Stores”.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
The
Company is actively pursuing sales to Canada through a designated agent who is handling all necessary compliance issues.
|
Pricing
Our
pricing strategy focuses on being competitively priced with other premium brands. Since our products are positioned in the authentic
premium prepared food category, we maintain prices competitive with those of similar products and prices slightly higher than
those in the commodity prepared foods section. This pricing strategy also provides greater long-term flexibility as we grow our
product line through the growth curve of our products. Current typical retail prices for 16 oz. packages range from $4.99 to $7.99,
and $5.99 to $9.99 per pound for prepared food products sold to delis or hot bars. Increases in raw materials costs, among other
factors, may lead to us consider price increases in the future.
Suppliers/Manufacturers
As
of January 31, 2020, approximately 90% of our products are internally produced by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary,
Joseph Epstein Food Enterprises, Inc (“JEFE”). Approximately 10% are manufactured on an outsourced basis. None of
our raw materials or ingredients are directly grown or produced by us. From time-to-time we negotiate with other manufacturers
to supplement the Company’s manufacturing capability. We currently purchase modest quantities from other manufacturers.
All of the raw materials and ingredients in our products are readily available and are readily ascertainable by our suppliers.
We have not experienced any material shortages of ingredients or other products necessary to our operations and do not anticipate
such shortages in the foreseeable future.
Sales/Brokers
Our
products are sold primarily through a commission broker network. We sell to large retail chains who direct our products to their
own warehouses or to large food distributors.
The
Company increased its sales management efforts with the result that the Company is now actively soliciting business with almost
every major retail supermarket chain in the country. MamaMancini’s products are currently sold nationwide, with its greatest
concentration in the Northeast and Southeast. In April 2019, the Company initiated a major sales effort into the food service,
convenience store, export and special projects areas.
Marketing
The
majority of our marketing activity has been generated through promotional discounts, consumer trial, consumer product tastings
and demonstrations, in-store merchandising and signage, couponing, word of mouth, consumer public relations, social media, special
merchandising events with retailers and consumer advertising.
Based
on the Company’s metrics for determining brand awareness, which includes market studies and analysis of consumer recognition
of the MamaMancini’s brand, the Company believes that brand awareness for MamaMancini’s has grown in the past 12 months.
Investments
- Meatball Obsession
During
2011 the Company acquired a 34.62% interest in Meatball Obsession, LLC (“MO”) for a total investment of $27,032. This
investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, investments are recorded at acquisition cost plus
the Company’s equity in the undistributed earnings or losses of the entity. At December 31, 2011 the investment was written
down to $0 due to losses incurred by MO. The Company’s ownership interest in MO has decreased due to dilution. At January
31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s ownership interest in MO was 12% and 12%, respectively. One of our directors, Steven Burns,
serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Meatball Obsession. As of December 31, 2019, MO had wound down and ceased
operations. Major accounts were transitioned to MamaMancini’s as a part of the wind down.
Competition
The
gourmet and specialty pre-packaged and frozen food industry has many large competitors specializing in various types of cuisine
from all over the world. Our product lines are currently concentrated on Italian specialty foods. While it is our contention that
our competition is much more limited than the entire frozen and pre-packaged food industry based on our products’ niche
market, there can be no assurances that we do not compete with the entire frozen and pre-packaged food industry. We believe our
principal competitors include Quaker Maid, Hormel, Rosina Company, Inc., Casa Di Bertacchi, Inc., Farm Rich, Inc., Mama Lucia,
Buona Vita, Inc., Taylor Farms and Kings Command.
Intellectual
Property
Our
current intellectual property consists of trade secret recipes and cooking processes for our products and four trademarks for
“MamaMancini’s”, “Mac N’ Mamas”, “Sunday Dinner” and “The Meatball Lovers
Meatball”. The recipes and use of the trademarks have been assigned in perpetuity to the Company.
We
rely on a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We will also
use technical measures to protect our proprietary rights.
Royalty
Agreement
In
accordance with a Development and License Agreement (the “Development and License Agreement”) entered into on January
1, 2009 with Dan Dougherty relating to the use of his grandmother’s recipes for the products to be created by MamaMancini’s,
Mr. Dougherty granted us a 50-year exclusive license (subject to certain minimum payments being made), with a 25-year extension
option, to use and commercialize the licensed items. Under the terms of the Development and License Agreement, Mr. Dougherty shall
develop a line of beef meatballs with sauce, turkey meatballs with sauce and other similar meats and sauces for commercial manufacture,
distribution and sale (each a “Licensor Product” and collectively the “Licensor Products”). Mr. Dougherty
shall work with us to develop Licensor Products that are acceptable to us. Upon acceptance of a Licensor Product by us, Mr. Dougherty’s
trade secret recipes, formulas methods and ingredients for the preparation and production of such Licensor Products shall be subject
to the Development and License Agreement. In connection with the Development and License Agreement, we pay Mr. Dougherty a royalty
fee on net sales.
USDA
approval / Regulations
Our
food products, which are manufactured both in our own manufacturing facilities and in third-party facilities, are subject to various
federal, state and local regulations and inspection, and to extensive regulations and inspections, regarding sanitation, quality,
packaging and labeling. In order to distribute and sell our products outside the State of New Jersey, the third-party food processing
facilities must meet the standards promulgated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”). Our manufacturing
processing facilities and products are subject to periodic inspection by federal, state, and local authorities. In January 2011,
the FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act was signed into law. The law will increase the number of inspections at food facilities
in the U.S. in an effort to enhance the detection of food borne illness outbreaks and order recalls of tainted food products.
The facilities in which our products are manufactured are inspected regularly and comply with all the requirements of the FDA
and USDA.
We
are subject to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and regulations promulgated thereunder by the FDA. This comprehensive regulatory
program governs, among other things, the manufacturing, composition and ingredients, packaging, and safety of food. Under this
program, the FDA regulates manufacturing practices for foods through, among other things, its current “good manufacturing
practices” regulations, or GMP’s, and specifies the recipes for certain foods. Specifically, the USDA defines “all
natural” as a product that contains no artificial ingredients, coloring ingredients or chemical preservatives and is minimally
processed. The Company’s products were submitted to the USDA and approved as “all natural”. However, should
the USDA change their definition of “all natural” at some point in the future, or should MamaMancini’s change
their existing recipes to include ingredients that do not meet the USDA’s definition of “all natural”, our results
of operations could be adversely affected.
The
FTC and other authorities regulate how we market and advertise our products, and we are currently in compliance with all regulations
related thereto, although we could be the target of claims relating to alleged false or deceptive advertising under federal and
state laws and regulations. Changes in these laws or regulations or the introduction of new laws or regulations could increase
the costs of doing business for us or our customers or suppliers or restrict our actions, causing our results of operations to
be adversely affected.
Quality
Assurance
We
take precautions designed to ensure the quality and safety of our products. In addition to routine third-party inspections of
our manufacturing facilities, we have instituted regular audits to address topics such as allergen control, ingredient, packaging
and product specifications and sanitation. Under the FDA Food Modernization Act, both our own manufacturing facilities and each
of our contract manufacturers are required to have a hazard analysis critical control points plan that identifies critical pathways
for contaminants and mandates control measures that must be used to prevent, eliminate or reduce relevant food-borne hazards.
Our
manufacturing facility is certified in the Safe Quality Food Program. These standards are integrated food safety and quality management
protocols designed specifically for the food sector and offer a comprehensive methodology to manage food safety and quality simultaneously.
Certification provides an independent and external validation that a product, process or service complies with applicable regulations
and standards.
We
work with suppliers who assure the quality and safety of their ingredients. These assurances are supported by our purchasing contracts
or quality assurance specification packets, including affidavits, certificates of analysis and analytical testing, where required.
The quality assurance staff within our manufacturing facility and within our contract manufacturers conduct periodic on-site routine
audits of critical ingredient suppliers.

RISK
FACTORS
Before
you invest in our securities, you should be aware that there are various risks. You should consider carefully these risk factors,
together with all of the other information included in this annual report before you decide to purchase our securities. If any
of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations
could be materially adversely affected.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We
have a limited history of profitability.
Since
inception on February 22, 2010 and through January 31, 2020, Mamamancini’s has raised approximately $16,500,000 in capital.
During this same period, we have recorded net accumulated losses totaling $(16,144,110). As of January 31, 2020, we had working
capital of $1,412,024. MamaMancini’s net income for the two most recent fiscal years ended January 31, 2020 and January
31, 2019 have been $1,532,694 and $453,499. MamaMancini’s ability to achieve continued profitability depends upon many factors,
including its ability to develop and commercialize products. There can be no assurance that MamaMancini’s will be able to
achieve growth and profitability consistent with historical performance.
We
will need additional capital, which may be difficult to raise for a variety of reasons.
Since
inception in 2010 and through January 31, 2020, MamaMancini’s has incurred net accumulated losses of $(16,144,110). As of
January 31, 2020 we had working capital of $1,412,024 and stockholders’ equity of $402,063. The Company believes that it
has adequate financing to execute its current growth plan, however, in the case that the Company exceeds its expected growth,
we would need to raise additional capital and/or significantly cut expenses and overhead in order to operate the business through
such date. Currently, we have no plan to raise additional capital, and our access to funding is always uncertain. There is no
assurance that additional equity or debt financing will be available to us when needed, on acceptable terms or even at all. In
the event that we are not able to secure financing, we may have to scale back our development plans or operations.
The
majority of our business depends on a limited number of principal customers.
During
the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company earned revenues from three customers representing approximately 46%, 11% and 10%
of gross sales. During the year ended January 31, 2020, these three customers represented approximately 34%, 16% and 8% of total
gross outstanding receivables, respectively. During the year ended January 31, 2019, the company earned revenues from two customers
representing approximately 50% and 10% of gross sales. As of January 31, 2019, three customers represented approximately 44%,
19% and 13% of total gross outstanding receivables, respectively.
Competitive
product and pricing pressures in the food industry and the financial condition of customers and suppliers could adversely affect
our ability to gain or maintain market share and/or profitability.
We
currently operate in the highly competitive food industry, competing with other companies that have varying abilities to withstand
changing market conditions. Any significant change in our relationship with a major customer, including changes in product prices,
sales volume, or contractual terms may impact financial results. Such changes may result because our competitors may have substantial
financial, marketing, and other resources that may change the competitive environment. If we are unable to establish economies
of scale, marketing expertise, product innovation, and category leadership positions to respond to changing market trends, or
if we are unable to increase prices while maintaining a customer base, our profitability and volume growth could be impacted in
a materially adverse way. The success of our business depends, in part, upon the financial strength and viability of our suppliers
and customers. The financial condition of those suppliers and customers is affected in large part by conditions and events that
are beyond our control. A significant deterioration of their financial condition would adversely affect our financial results.
We
face competition from companies who produce similar frozen products and other prepared foods, many of whom have longer operating
histories or who have substantially more financial resources.
Many
of our competitors have been in business for a significantly longer period of time than we have and have learned manufacturing
techniques which can aid in efficiently producing their products. Additionally, many of these companies have successfully acquired
a loyal customer base that would be difficult for us to compete with. Such customers may be unwilling to purchase our products
due to brand loyalty or uncertainty in the highly competitive market in which we compete. In addition, if we gain traction in
our particular niche of creating gourmet Italian frozen foods, major food companies with substantial marketing and financial resources
may attempt to compete more directly with us. In the event that such large companies do directly compete with us, our business
may be adversely affected.
Our
operations are subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), U.S. Department of Agriculture
(“USDA”), Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and other governmental entities and such regulations are subject
to change from time to time which could impact how we manage our production and sale of products. Federal budget cuts could result
in furloughs for government employees, including inspectors and reviewers for our supplier’s plants and products which could
materially impact our ability to manufacture regulated products.
Our
food products which are manufactured in third-party facilities are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA, the USDA and other
national, state, and local authorities. For example, we are subject to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and regulations promulgated
thereunder by the FDA. This comprehensive regulatory program governs, among other things, the manufacturing, composition and ingredients,
packaging, and safety of food. Under this program, the FDA regulates manufacturing practices for foods through, among other things,
its current “good manufacturing practices” regulations, or GMP’s, and specifies the recipes for certain foods.
Specifically, the USDA defines “all natural” as a product that contains no artificial ingredients, coloring ingredients
or chemical preservatives and is minimally processed. The Company’s products were submitted to the USDA and approved as
“all natural”. However, should the USDA change their definition of “all natural” at some point in the
future, or should MamaMancini’s change their existing recipes to include ingredients that do not meet the USDA’s definition/
of “all natural”, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
The
FTC and other authorities regulate how we market and advertise our products, and we could be the target of claims relating to
alleged false or deceptive advertising under federal and state laws and regulations. Changes in these laws or regulations or the
introduction of new laws or regulations could increase the costs of doing business for us or our customers or suppliers or restrict
our actions, causing our results of operations to be adversely affected.
The
need for and effect of product recalls could have a material adverse impact on our business.
If
any of our products become misbranded or adulterated, we may need to conduct a product recall. The scope of such a recall could
result in significant costs incurred as a result of the recall, potential destruction of inventory, and lost sales. Should consumption
of any product cause injury and/or illness, we also may be liable for monetary damages as a result of one or more product liability
judgments against us. A significant product recall or product liability case could cause a loss of consumer confidence in our
food products and could have a material adverse effect on the value of our brand, results of operations and prospects.
We
may be subject to significant liability if the consumption of any of our products causes illness or physical harm.
The
sale of food products for human consumption involves the risk of injury or illness to consumers. Such injuries or illness may
result from inadvertent mislabeling, tampering or product contamination or spoilage. Under certain circumstances, we may be required
to recall or withdraw products, which may have a material adverse effect on our business. Even if a situation does not necessitate
a recall or market withdrawal, product liability claims may be asserted against us. If the consumption of any of our products
causes, or is alleged to have caused, a health-related illness, we may become subject to claims or lawsuits relating to such matters.
Even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful, the negative publicity surrounding any assertion that our products caused illness
or physical harm could adversely affect our reputation with existing and potential distributors, retailers and consumers and our
corporate image and brand equity. Moreover, claims or liabilities of this sort might not be covered by insurance or by any rights
of indemnity or contribution that we may have against others. A product liability judgment against us or a product recall or market
withdrawal could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation and operating results.
The
impact of various food safety issues, environmental, legal, tax, and other regulations and related developments could adversely
affect our sales and profitability.
Our
products are subject to numerous food safety and other laws and regulations regarding the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution
of food products, particularly the USDA, and state and local agencies. These regulations govern matters such as ingredients, advertising,
taxation, relations with distributors and retailers, health and safety matters, and environmental concerns. The ineffectiveness
of our or our manufacturer’s planning and policies with respect to these matters, and the need to comply with new or revised
laws or regulations with regard to licensing requirements, trade and pricing practices, environmental permitting, or other food
or safety matters, or new interpretations or enforcement of existing laws and regulations, as well as any related litigation,
may have a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability.
Increases
in the cost and restrictions on the availability of raw materials could adversely affect our financial results.
Our
products include agricultural commodities such as tomatoes, onions, and meats and other items such as spices and flour, as well
as packaging materials such as plastic, metal, paper, fiberboard, and other materials and inputs such as water, in order to manufacture
products. The availability or cost of such commodities may fluctuate widely due to government policy and regulation, crop failures
or shortages due to plant disease or insect and other pest infestation, weather conditions, potential impact of climate change,
increased demand for biofuels, or other unforeseen circumstances. To the extent that any of the foregoing or other unknown factors
increase the prices of such commodities or materials and we are unable to increase our prices or adequately hedge against such
changes in a manner that offsets such changes, the results of its operations could be materially and adversely affected. Similarly,
if supplier arrangements and relationships result in increased and unforeseen expenses, our financial results could be materially
and adversely impacted.
Disruption
of our supply chain could adversely affect our business.
Damage
or disruption to our manufacturing or distribution capabilities due to weather, natural disaster, fire, terrorism, pandemic, strikes,
the financial and/or operational instability of key suppliers, distributors, warehousing and transportation providers, or brokers,
or other reasons could impair our ability to manufacture or sell our products. To the extent that we are unable to, or cannot
financially mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, particularly
when a product is sourced from a single location, our business and results of operations may be materially adversely affected,
and additional resources could be required to restore our supply chain.
Higher
energy costs and other factors affecting the cost of producing, transporting, and distributing our products could adversely affect
our financial results.
Rising
fuel and energy costs may have a significant impact on our cost of operations, including the manufacture, transportation, and
distribution of products. Fuel costs may fluctuate due to a number of factors outside of our control, including government policy
and regulation and weather conditions. Additionally, we may be unable to maintain favorable arrangements with respect to the manufacturing
costs of our products as a result of the rise in costs of procuring raw materials and transportation by our manufacturers. This
may result in increased expenses and negatively affect operations.
If
we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results
accurately or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation
and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
Effective
internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial
reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment
existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed.
Because
of our limited resources, there are limited controls over our information processing. There is inadequate segregation of duties
consistent with control objectives. Our management is composed of a small number of individuals resulting in a situation where
limitations on segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff. Currently,
we are unable to afford to hire additional staff to facilitate greater segregation of duties but will reassess our capabilities
in the following year.
Management
believes that the material weaknesses set forth above are the result of the lack of scale of our operations and are intrinsic
to our small size. Nonetheless, our small size and our current internal control deficiencies may have a material adverse effect
on our ability to accurately and timely report our financial information which, in turn, may have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition.
As
a result of our small size and our current internal control deficiencies, our financial condition, results of operation and access
to capital may be materially adversely affected.
Global
economic uncertainties continue to affect consumers’ purchasing habits and customer financial stability, which may affect
sales volume and profitability on some of our products and have other impacts that we cannot fully predict.
As
a result of continuing global economic uncertainties, price-conscious consumers may replace their purchases of our premium and
value-added products with lower-cost alternatives, which could affect the price and volume of some of these products. The volume
or profitability of our products may be adversely affected if consumers are reluctant to pay a premium for higher quality frozen
foods or if they replace purchases of our products with cheaper alternatives. Additionally, distributors and retailers may become
more conservative in response to these conditions and seek to reduce their inventories. Our results of operations depend upon,
among other things, our ability to maintain and increase sales volume with our existing distributors and retailers, to attract
new consumers and to provide products that appeal to consumers at prices they are willing and able to pay. Prolonged unfavorable
economic conditions may have an adverse effect on our sales and profitability.
We
rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able
to grow effectively.
Our
success depends in large part upon the abilities and continued service of our executive officers and other key employees, particularly
Mr. Carl Wolf, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and Mr. Matthew Brown, our President. There can be no assurance that
we will be able to retain the services of such officers and employees. Our failure to retain the services of our key personnel
could have a materially adverse effect on our business. In order to support our projected growth, we will be required to effectively
recruit, hire, train and retain additional qualified management personnel. Our inability to attract and retain necessary personnel
could have a materially adverse effect on our business.
The
failure of new product or packaging introductions to gain trade and consumer acceptance and address changes in consumer preferences
could adversely affect our sales.
Our
success is dependent upon anticipating and reacting to changes in consumer preferences, including health and wellness. There are
inherent marketplace risks associated with new product or packaging introductions, including uncertainties about trade and consumer
acceptance. Moreover, success is dependent upon our ability to identify and respond to consumer trends through innovation. We
may be required to increase expenditures for new product development and there is no guarantee that we will be successful in developing
new products or improving upon products already in existence. Additionally, our new products may not achieve consumer acceptance
and could materially negatively impact sales.
Changes
in our promotional activities may impact, and may have a disproportionate effect on, our overall financial condition and results
of operations.
We
offer a variety of sales and promotion incentives to our customers and to consumers, such as price discounts, consumer coupons,
volume rebates, cooperative marketing programs, slotting fees and in-store displays. Our net sales may periodically be influenced
by the introduction and discontinuance of sales and promotion incentives. Reductions in overall sales and promotion incentives
could impact our net sales and affect our results of operations in any particular fiscal quarter.
We
may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy on a timely basis or at all.
Our
future success depends, in large part, on our ability to implement our growth strategy of expanding distribution and improving
placement of our products, attracting new consumers to our brand and introducing new product lines and product extensions. Our
ability to implement this growth strategy depends, among other things, on our ability to:
|
●
|
enter
into distribution and other strategic arrangements with third-party retailers and other
potential distributors of our products;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
continue
to compete in conventional grocery and mass merchandiser retail channels in addition
to the natural and organic channel;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
secure
shelf space in key supermarket locations;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
increase
our brand awareness;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
expand
and maintain brand loyalty; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
develop
new product lines and extensions.
|
We
may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy. Our sales and operating results will be adversely affected if we
fail to implement our growth strategy or if we invest resources in a growth strategy that ultimately proves unsuccessful.
We
are currently selling products in supermarkets in the United States. If we are unable to expand into mass-market retailers or
sell products in a greater number of supermarkets we will fall short of our projections and our business and financial condition
would be adversely affected.
As
a smaller supplier, we may not sell in enough bulk in certain stores and as such our products may not be placed in the most ideal
locations to catch the attention of end consumers. If we are unable to gain significant sales growth, our products may never be
displayed in the most attractive locations in stores and our sales may suffer.
We
may be unable to successfully execute our identified growth strategies or other growth strategies that we determine to pursue.
We
currently have a limited corporate infrastructure. In order to pursue growth strategies, we will need to continue to build our
infrastructure and operational capabilities. Our ability to do any of these successfully could be affected by any one or more
of the following factors:
|
●
|
our
ability to raise substantial amounts of additional capital if needed to fund the implementation
of our business plan;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our
ability to execute our business strategy;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
ability of our products to achieve market acceptance;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our
ability to manage the expansion of our operations and any acquisitions we may make, which
could result in increased costs, high employee turnover or damage to customer relationships;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our
ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our
ability to manage our third-party relationships effectively; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our
ability to accurately predict and respond to the rapid market changes in our industry
and the evolving demands of the markets we serve.
|
Our
failure to adequately address any one or more of the above factors could have a significant impact on our ability to implement
our business plan and our ability to pursue other opportunities that arise.
We
may be unable to maintain quality control.
All
of our manufacturing is outsourced. Although we have entered into supply agreements specifying certain minimum acceptable quality
standards, there is no assurance that our current quality assurance procedures will be able to effectively monitor compliance.
Additionally, in the event that we expand our operations and increase our output volume, including securing additional manufacturers,
there is no assurance that we will be able to adequately maintain quality controls or that our current manufacturing process is
scalable.
There
may be products liability and other legal claims.
We
currently carry products liability insurance policy. Although we believe that the amount of insurance coverage is sufficient for
our operations, there is no assurance that the coverage will be adequate.
Our
brand and reputation may suffer from real or perceived issues involving the labeling and marketing of our products as “natural.”
Although
the FDA and USDA have each issued statements regarding the appropriate use of the word “natural,” there is no single,
U.S. government-regulated definition of the term “natural” for use in the food industry. The resulting uncertainty
has led to consumer confusion, distrust and legal challenges. Plaintiffs have commenced legal actions against a number of food
companies that market “natural” products, asserting false, misleading and deceptive advertising and labeling claims.
Should we become subject to similar claims, consumers may avoid purchasing products from us or seek alternatives, even if the
basis for the claim is unfounded. Adverse publicity about these matters may discourage consumers from buying our products. The
cost of defending against any such claims could be significant. Any loss of confidence on the part of consumers in the truthfulness
of our labeling or ingredient claims would be difficult and costly to overcome and may significantly reduce our brand value. Uncertainty
as to the ingredients used in our products, regardless of the cause, may have a substantial and adverse effect on our brand and
our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Virtually
all of our finished goods inventory is located in a single warehouse facility. Any damage or disruption at this facility would
have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Virtually
all of our finished goods inventory is located in one warehouse facility. A natural disaster, fire, power interruption, work stoppage
or other unanticipated catastrophic event at this facility would significantly disrupt our ability to deliver our products and
operate our business. If any material amount of our inventory were damaged, we would be unable to meet our contractual obligations
and, as a result, our business, results of operations and financial condition would suffer.
We
may be unable to defend our intellectual property.
Our
business could be adversely affected if we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property. Our current intellectual
property consists of trade secret recipes and cooking processes for our products and trademarks. We rely on a combination of trademark,
copyright and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We will also use technical measures to protect
our proprietary rights. We may, however, not be able to secure significant protection for service marks or trademarks that we
obtain. Our inability to protect our intellectual property from others may impede our brand identity and could lead to consumer
confusion.
Our
intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our services and brand.
Our
business is largely based upon our recipes which are trade secrets and are not patentable. We may be unable to keep other companies
from copying our recipes, or we may be subject to legal actions alleging intellectual property infringement, unfair competition
or similar claims against us. Companies may have intellectual property rights covering aspects of our technologies or businesses.
Defending ourselves against intellectual property infringement or similar claims would be expensive and would divert management’s
attention. Additionally, there is no assurance that we would be successful in defending ourselves against such claims.
We
could be substantially affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
In December 2019, an outbreak
of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including
the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. In addition, as of the
time of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, several states in the United States have declared states of emergency,
and several countries around the world, including the United States, have taken steps to restrict travel. While all of our operations
are located in the United States, we participate in a national supply chain, and the existence of a worldwide pandemic, the fear
associated with COVID-19, or any, pandemic, and the reactions of governments around the world in response to COVID-19, or any,
pandemic, to regulate the flow of labor and products and impede the travel of personnel, may impact our ability to conduct normal
business operations, which could adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity. Disruptions to our supply chain and
business operations, or to our suppliers’ or customers’ supply chains and business operations, could include disruptions
from the closure of supplier and manufacturer facilities, interruptions in the supply of raw materials and components, personnel
absences, or restrictions on the shipment of our or our suppliers’ or customers’ products, any of which could have
adverse ripple effects on our manufacturing output and delivery schedule. If we need to close any of our facilities or a critical
number of our employees become too ill to work, our production ability could be materially adversely affected in a rapid manner.
Similarly, if our customers experience adverse business consequences due to COVID-19, or any other, pandemic, demand for our products
could also be materially adversely affected in a rapid manner. Global health concerns, such as COVID-19, could also result in
social, economic, and labor instability in the countries and localities in which we or our suppliers and customers operate. Any
of these uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
We
currently have a limited trading volume, which results in higher price volatility for, and reduced liquidity of, our common stock.
Our
shares of common stock have been listed for trading on the OTCQB since 2013. However, historically there has been limited daily
volume of trading in our common stock on the OTCQB, which has limited the overall and perceived liquidity of our common stock
on that market.
A
more active trading market for our shares may never develop or be sustained. Active trading markets generally result in lower
price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders. The absence of an active trading market increases price
volatility and reduces the liquidity of our common stock. As long as this condition continues, the sale of a significant number
of shares of common stock at any particular time could be difficult to achieve at the market prices prevailing immediately before
such shares are offered and, if an active market for our common stock does not develop, it may be difficult to sell shares without
depressing the market price for the shares, or at all. In addition, in the event that an active trading market does not develop,
the price of our common stock may not be a reliable indicator of the fair value of our common stock.
Furthermore,
if our common stock ceases to be listed on the OTCQB, holders would find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate
quotations as to the market value of, our common stock, and the market value of our common stock would likely decline.
You
may experience dilution of your ownership interest because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock and
our preferred stock.
In
the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership
interests of our present stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 270,000,000 shares of capital stock
consisting of 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share and 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value
$0.00001 per share.
We
may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock
in connection with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital
raising purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock or other
securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will not be
required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with hiring or retaining
employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes or for other business
purposes, including at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which shares of our common stock are trading.
Our
common stock is considered a penny stock, which may be subject to restrictions on marketability, so you may not be able to sell
your shares.
We
are currently listed on the OTCQB under the symbol “MMMB” and are subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the
SEC that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to their customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure
requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult
for our shareholders to sell their securities.
Penny
stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities
exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock
not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny
stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations
for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special
written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written
agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the
secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers
by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the
market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common
stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
The
concentration of our capital stock ownership with insiders could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions,
including a change of control.
Our
directors, executive officers and each of our stockholders who own greater than 5% of our outstanding common stock, in the aggregate,
beneficially own approximately 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, based on the number of shares outstanding as
of April 23, 2020. These stockholders are able to influence or control matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including
the election of directors and the approval of mergers, acquisitions or other extraordinary transactions. They may have interests
that differ from yours and may vote in a manner that is adverse to your interests. This concentration of ownership may have the
effect of deterring, delaying or preventing a change of control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity
to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our
common stock.
If
and when a larger trading market for our common stock develops, the market price of our common stock is still likely to be highly
volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, and you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the price at which you acquired
them.
The
market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number
of factors that are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:
|
●
|
variations
in our revenue and operating expenses;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
market
conditions in our industry and the economy as a whole;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
actual
or expected changes in our growth rates or our competitors’ growth rates;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
announcements
of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
announcements
by the government relating to regulations that govern our industry;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
sales
of our common stock or other securities by us or in the open market; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
changes
in the market valuations of other comparable companies.
|
In
addition, if the market for food industry stocks or the stock market in general experiences loss of investor confidence, the trading
price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or operating results. The trading
price of our shares might also decline in reaction to events that affect other companies in our industry, even if these events
do not directly affect us. Each of these factors, among others, could harm the value of your investment in our common stock. In
the past, following periods of volatility in the market, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against
companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention
and resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
We
do not expect to pay dividends.
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our common stock. We currently intend to retain our future
earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends
on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
The
declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend
upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements,
and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and,
if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. If the Company does not pay dividends,
the Company’s common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if the
Company’s stock price appreciates.
If
securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they change their
recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The
trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish
about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the analysts who may cover us change their recommendation regarding
our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price would likely decline.
If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose
visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
This
prospectus relates to the resale of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering.
DETERMINATION
OF OFFERING PRICE
All
shares of our common stock being offered will be sold by the selling stockholders without our involvement. It is our expectation
that the selling shareholders will sell their shares at the market prices prevailing from time-to-time.
DILUTION
The
common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is currently issued or will be issued to our shareholders
upon exercise of certain Warrants issued by the Company. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders from
these sales, other than from the exercise of the Warrants.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The
following table sets forth the number of shares of Company common stock owned and issuable on the exercise of warrants beneficially
owned, as of the date of this prospectus, by the selling stockholders prior to the offering contemplated by this prospectus, the
number of shares which are issuable on the exercise of warrants beneficially owned by each selling stockholder which is being
offered by this prospectus and the number of shares which are issuable on the exercise of warrants beneficially owned which each
selling stockholder would own beneficially if all such offered shares are sold. None of the selling stockholders is known to us
to be a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer. Each of the selling stockholders has acquired
his, her or its shares solely for investment and not with a view to or for resale or distribution of such securities. Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities.

Each
Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal Trading Market
or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales
may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
|
●
|
ordinary brokerage
transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
●
|
block trades in
which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
●
|
purchases by a broker-dealer
as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
●
|
an exchange distribution
in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
●
|
privately negotiated
transactions;
|

The
Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities,
from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an
agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a
principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In
connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the Selling
Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage
in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities
short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that
in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or
other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The
Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers
or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts
under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement
or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The
Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The
Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.
Because
Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject
to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered
by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than
under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in
connection with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the Selling Stockholders.
We
agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling
Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without
the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act
or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under
the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed
brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered
hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the
registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined
in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable
provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of
purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of
this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus
to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share, the rights and preferences of which may be established from time to time by our
board. As of February 10, 2021, there were 35,603,682 shares of Common Stock and 23,400 shares of Preferred Stock
issued with none outstanding.
Common
Stock
Holders
of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters voted upon by our stockholders, including the election
of directors, and do not have cumulative voting rights. Subject to the rights of holders of any then outstanding shares of our
preferred stock, our common stockholders are entitled to any dividends that may be declared by our board. Holders of our common
stock are entitled to share ratably in our net assets upon our dissolution or liquidation after payment or provision for all liabilities
and any preferential liquidation rights of our preferred stock then outstanding. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive
rights to purchase shares of our stock. The shares of our common stock are not subject to any redemption provisions and are not
convertible into any other shares of our capital stock. All outstanding shares of our common stock are, and the shares of common
stock to be issued in the offering will be, upon payment therefor, fully paid and non-assessable. The rights, preferences and
privileges of holders of our common stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of our preferred stock we may
issue in the future.
Preferred
Stock
Our
board may, from time to time, authorize the issuance of one or more classes or series of preferred stock without stockholder approval.
Subject to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and limitations prescribed by law, our board is authorized to adopt
resolutions to issue shares, establish the number of shares, change the number of shares constituting any series, and provide
or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions on shares
of our preferred stock, including dividend rights, terms of redemption, conversion rights and liquidation preferences, in each
case without any action or vote by our stockholders. One of the effects of undesignated preferred stock may be to enable our board
to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. The
issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders by, among other things:
●
|
Restricting
dividends on the common stock;
|
●
|
diluting
the voting power of the common stock;
|
●
|
impairing
the liquidation rights of the common stock; or
|
●
|
delaying
or preventing a change in control without further action by the stockholders.

Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock
All
of the shares of the Company’s previously issued Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were automatically converted as of
July 27, 2018 and none remain outstanding.

Dividend
Policy
We
have never paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in
the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings to fund ongoing operations and future capital requirements of our
business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent
upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems
relevant.
The
Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions
in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered
on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with
respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
A
purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute
penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification
of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult
for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or
her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need
to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
The
penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver
a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
●
|
contains a description
of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
|
|
|
●
|
contains a description
of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with
respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
|
|
|
●
|
contains a brief,
clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks
and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
|
|
|
●
|
contains a toll-free
telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
|
|
|
●
|
defines significant
terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
|
|
|
●
|
contains such other
information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall
require by rule or regulation;
|
The
broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
●
|
the
bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
|
|
|
●
|
the
compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
|
|
|
●
|
the
number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity
of the market for such stock; and
|
|
|
●
|
monthly
account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
|
In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the
broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive
the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions
involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have
the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock
rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.
Equity
Compensation Plan Information
Stock
Option Plan
The
Company adopted the MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc 2013 Incentive Stock and Award Plan (the “Plan”) as of January
1, 2013. The Plan provides for both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options to be granted to employees, officers,
consultants, independent contractors, directors and affiliates of the Company. The board of directors establishes the terms and
conditions of all stock option grants, subject to the Plan and applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Incentive stock
options must be granted at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The options
granted to participants owning more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock must be granted at an exercise price
not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The options expire on the date determined by
the board of directors, but may not extend mare than 10 years from the grant date, while incentive stock options granted to participants
owning more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock expire five years from the grant date. The vesting period
for employees is generally over three years. The vesting Period for non-employees is determined based on the services being provided.
The maximum number of shares of stock which may be delivered under the plan shall automatically increase by a number sufficient
to cause the number of shares covered by the plan to equal 10% of the total number of shares of stock then outstanding on a fully
diluted basis.
Under
ASC Topic 718, the Company estimates the fair value of option awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The grant
date fair value is recognized over the option vesting period, the period during which an employee is required to provide service
in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite
service. Under these standards, compensation cost for employee cost for employee stock-based awards is based on the estimated
grant-date fair value and recognized over the vesting period of the applicable award on a straight-line basis. As of January 31,
2020, there were options to purchase 914,000 outstanding (779,000 of which were vested options) at an average exercise price of
$0.73 per share.
Reports
We
are subject to certain reporting requirements and will furnish annual financial reports to our stockholders, certified by our
independent accountants, and will furnish unaudited quarterly financial reports in our quarterly reports filed electronically
with the SEC. All reports and information filed by us can be found at the SEC website, www.sec.gov.

INFORMATION
WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANT
Our
History
MamaMancini’s
Holdings, Inc. (formerly Mascot Properties, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2009. Mascot Properties,
Inc.’s (“Mascot”) activities since its inception consisted of trying to locate real estate properties to manage,
primarily related to student housing, and services which included general property management, maintenance and activities coordination
for residents. Mascot did not have any significant development of such business and did not derive any revenue. Due to the lack
of results in its attempt to implement its original business plan, management determined it was in the best interests of the shareholders
to look for other potential business opportunities.
On
February 22, 2010, MamaMancini’s LLC was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of New Jersey
in order to commercialize our initial products. On March 5, 2012, the members of MamaMancini’s, LLC, holders of 4,700 units
(the “Units”) of MamaMancini’s LLC, exchanged the Units for 15,000,000 shares of common stock and those certain
options to purchase an additional 223,404 shares of MamaMancini’s Inc. (the “Exchange”). Upon consummation of
the Exchange, MamaMancini’s LLC ceased to exist and all further business has been and continues to be conducted by MamaMancini’s
Inc.
On
January 24, 2013, Mascot, Mascot Properties Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
(“Merger Sub”), MamaMancini’s Inc., a privately-held Delaware Corporation headquartered in New Jersey (“Mama’s”)
and David Dreslin, an individual (the “Majority Shareholder”), entered into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into Mama’s, with Mama’s surviving
as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The transaction (the “Closing”) took place
on January 24, 2013 (the “Closing Date”). Mascot acquired, through a reverse triangular merger, all of the outstanding
capital stock of Mama’s in exchange for issuing Mama’s shareholders (the “Mama’s Shareholders”),
pro-rata, a total of 20,054,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Merger, the Mama’s Shareholders
became the majority shareholders of Mascot.
Immediately
following the Closing of the Agreement, Mascot changed its business plan to that of Mama’s. On March 8, 2013, Mascot received
notice from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) that its application to change its name and symbol
had been approved and effective Monday, March 11, 2013, Mascot began trading under its new name, “MamaMancini’s Holdings,
Inc.” (“MamaMancini’s” or the “Company”) and under its new symbol, “MMMB”.
On
November 1, 2017, MamaMancini’s, Joseph Epstein Food Enterprises, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“JEFE”), and
MMMB Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MamaMancini’s (“Merger Sub”), completed
a merger transaction whereby JEFE merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly
owned subsidiary of MamaMancini’s. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement and in connection with the merger, the Company
acquired all assets of JEFE. The consideration for the transaction was (a) the extinguishment of the Inter-Company Loan between
the parties, (b) the assumption by the Company of all JEFE accounts payable and accrued expenses (c) assumption by the Company
of certain third-party loans to JEFE totaling approximately $782,000 and (d) indemnification of Carl Wolf with respect to his
collateralization of a bank loan to JEFE in the amount of approximately $250,000. As a result of the transaction, (i) the Company
became the sole shareholder of JEFE, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. No cash or stock was exchanged
in connection with the transaction.
Our
Company
MamaMancini’s
roots go back to our founder Dan Dougherty, whose grandmother Anna “Mama” Mancini emigrated from Bari, Italy to Bay
Ridge, Brooklyn in 1921. Our products were developed using her old-world Italian recipes that were handed down to her grandson,
Dan Dougherty. Today we market a line of all-natural specialty prepared, frozen and refrigerated foods for sale in retailers around
the country. Our primary products include beef and turkey meatballs, meat loaf, chicken, sausage-related products and pasta entrees,
all with slow cooked Italian Sauce.
Our
products are all natural, contain a minimum number of ingredients and are generally derived from the original recipes of Anna
“Mama” Mancini. Our products appeal to health-conscious consumers who seek to avoid artificial flavors, synthetic
colors and preservatives that are used in many conventional packaged foods.
The
United States Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”) defines all natural as a product that contains no artificial
ingredients, coloring ingredients or chemical preservatives and is minimally processed. The Company’s products were submitted
to the USDA and approved as all natural. The Food and Safety and Inspection Service (“FSIS”) Food Standards and Labeling
Policy Book (2003) requires meat and poultry labels to include a brief statement directly beneath or beside the “natural”
Label claim that “explains what is meant by the term natural i.e., that the product is a natural food because it contains
no artificial ingredients and is only minimally processed”. The term “natural” may be used on a meat label or
poultry label if the product does not contain any artificial flavor or flavoring, coloring ingredient, chemical preservative,
or any other artificial or synthetic ingredient. Additionally, the term “all natural” can be used if the FSIS approves
your product and label claims. The Company’s product and label claims have been approved by the FSIS to contain the all-natural
label.
Additionally,
the Company has recently commenced marketing of certain “meatless” versions of its product line under a Trademark
Licensing Agreement with Beyond Meat, Inc.
Our
products are principally sold to supermarkets and mass-market retailers. We currently have 26 different product offerings which
are packaged in different sized retail and bulk packages. Our products are principally sold in multiple sections of the supermarket,
including hot bars, salad bars, prepared foods (meals), sandwich, as well as cold deli and foods-to-go sections. Our products
are also sold in the frozen food and fresh meat sections. We sell directly to both food retailers and food distributors.
Finally,
we also sell our products on QVC through live on-air offerings, auto ship programs and for everyday purchases on their web site.
QVC is the world’s largest direct to consumer marketer.
During
the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company earned revenues from three customers representing approximately 46%, 11% and 10%
of gross sales. During the year ended January 31, 2020, these three customers represented approximately 34%, 16% and 8% of total
gross outstanding receivables, respectively. During the year ended January 31, 2019, the company earned revenues from two customers
representing approximately 50% and 10% of gross sales. As of January 31, 2019, three customers represented approximately 44%,
19% and 13% of total gross outstanding receivables, respectively.
The
Company continually reviews its accounts in order to focus on maximum performance, and as a result periodically eliminates under-performing
accounts.
Industry
Overview
Our
products are considered specialty prepared foods, in that they are all natural, taste great, are authentic Italian and are made
with high quality ingredients. The market for specialty and prepared foods spans several sections of the supermarket, including
frozen, deli- prepared foods, and the specialty meat segment of the meat department.
Our
Strengths
We
believe that the following strengths differentiate our products and our brand:
|
●
|
Authentic
recipes and great taste. Our products are founded upon Anna “Mama” Mancini’s
old-world Italian recipes. We believe the authenticity of our products has enabled us
to build and maintain loyalty and trust among our current customers and will help us
attract new customers. Additionally, we continuously receive positive customer testimonials
regarding the great taste and quality of our products.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Healthy
and convenient. Our products are made only from high quality natural ingredients,
including domestic inspected beef, whole Italian tomatoes, genuine imported Pecorino
Romano, real eggs, natural breadcrumbs, olive oil and other herbs and spices. Our products
are also simple to prepare. Virtually every product we offer is ready-to-serve within
12 minutes, thereby providing quick and easy meal solutions for our customers. By including
the sauce and utilizing a tray with our packaging, our meatballs can be prepared quickly
and easily.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Great
value. We strive to provide our customers with a great tasting product using all-natural
ingredients at an affordable price. Typical retail prices for 16 oz. packages ranges
from $4.99 to $7.99, and $5.99 to $9.99 for bulk products sold in delis or hot bars.
We believe the sizes of our product offerings represent a great value for the price.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
New
products and innovation. Since our inception, we have continued to introduce new
and innovative products. While we pride on ourselves on our traditional beef and turkey
meatballs and meat loaf, we have continuously made efforts to grow and diversify our
line of products while maintaining our high standards for all natural, healthy ingredients
and great taste.
|
Customers/Management
|
●

Strong
consumer loyalty. Many of our consumers are loyal and enthusiastic brand advocates.

Consumers have actively communicated with us through our website and/or social media
channels. We believe that this consumer interaction has generated interest in our products

has led and will continue to lead to repeat purchases and new consumers trying our products.
|

|
|

leadership. We have a proven and experienced senior management team. Our Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman, Carl Wolf, has been with us since inception and has over 35 years

company engaged in the development, marketing and distribution of cheese, deli meats
and other specialty food products, which was sold to Land O’Lakes, Inc. In addition,
the other members of our board of directors also have significant experience in the food
industry.
|
Our
Growth Strategy
We
are actively executing a strategy to build our brand’s reputation, grow sales and improve our product and operating margins
by pursuing the following growth initiatives:
|
●
|
Increase
product placements in the perimeter within retail locations. We strive for product
placements in the perishable departments of retail locations. We believe adding shelf
placements within the supermarkets that carry our products will increase customer awareness,
leading to more consumers purchasing our products and expanding our market share.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Increase
Sales in “Fresh” Section. Increase sales in the “Fresh” section
(in the perimeter of the retainer), where there is significant sales growth and higher
margins, over products in the “Frozen” section which are showing zero to
negative growth.
|
|
●
|
Increase
retail locations. We intend to increase sales by expanding the number of retail stores that sell our products in the mainstream
grocery and mass merchandiser channels.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Increase
Overall Sales. We have an experienced sales staff and
now employ one full time Vice President of Sales as well as our Co-Founder Dan Dougherty,
Carl Wolf, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and Matthew Brown, our President,
each of whom is involved with selling to, and managing sales with, major supermarket
chains. In addition, the Company has contracted with an independent consultant to manage
sales opportunities in the food service area as well as an independent person to solicit
sales in colleges and universities and independent delicatessens,
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Expand
food brokerage network. We currently work with retail food brokers nationwide and
intend to add additional food brokers to increase our geographical coverage in the United
States to approximately 90%.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Enhance
awareness through marketing. We have increased our social media activity with Facebook,
Twitter, Pinterest, and YouTube. We have also expanded our activity with Sirius Radio
by 25% in calendar 2020 over 2019. We also engage with consumers through newsletter mailings,

Pricing
Our
pricing strategy focuses on being competitively priced with other premium brands. Since our products are positioned in the authentic
premium prepared food category, we maintain prices competitive with those of similar products and prices slightly higher than
those in the commodity prepared foods section. This pricing strategy also provides greater long-term flexibility as we grow our
product line through the growth curve of our products. Current typical retail prices for 16 oz. packages range from $4.99 to $7.99,
and $5.99 to $9.99 per pound for prepared food products sold to delis or hot bars. Increases in raw materials costs, among other
factors, may lead to us consider price increases in the future.
Suppliers/Manufacturers
As
of January 31, 2020, approximately 90% of our products are internally produced by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary,
Joseph Epstein Food Enterprises, Inc (“JEFE”). Approximately 10% are manufactured on an outsourced basis. None of
our raw materials or ingredients are directly grown or produced by us. From time-to-time we negotiate with other manufacturers
to supplement the Company’s manufacturing capability. We currently purchase modest quantities from other manufacturers.
All of the raw materials and ingredients in our products are readily available and are readily ascertainable by our suppliers.
We have not experienced any material shortages of ingredients or other products necessary to our operations and do not anticipate
such shortages in the foreseeable future.
Sales/Brokers
Our
products are sold primarily through a commission broker network. We sell to large retail chains who direct our products to their
own warehouses or to large food distributors.
The
Company increased its sales management efforts with the result that the Company is now actively soliciting business with almost
every major retail supermarket chain in the country. MamaMancini’s products are currently sold nationwide, with its greatest
concentration in the Northeast and Southeast. In April 2019, the Company initiated a major sales effort into the food service,
convenience store, export and special projects areas.
Marketing
The
majority of our marketing activity has been generated through promotional discounts, consumer trial, consumer product tastings
and demonstrations, in-store merchandising and signage, couponing, word of mouth, consumer public relations, social media, special
merchandising events with retailers and consumer advertising.
Based
on the Company’s metrics for determining brand awareness, which includes market studies and analysis of consumer recognition
of the MamaMancini’s brand, the Company believes that brand awareness for MamaMancini’s has grown in the past 12 months.
Investments
- Meatball Obsession
During
2011 the Company acquired a 34.62% interest in Meatball Obsession, LLC (“MO”) for a total investment of $27,032. This
investment is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, investments are recorded at acquisition cost plus
the Company’s equity in the undistributed earnings or losses of the entity. At December 31, 2011 the investment was written
down to $0 due to losses incurred by MO. The Company’s ownership interest in MO has decreased due to dilution. At January
31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s ownership interest in MO was 12% and 12%, respectively. One of our directors, Steven Burns,
serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Meatball Obsession. As of December 31, 2019, MO had wound down and ceased
operations. Major accounts were transitioned to MamaMancini’s as a part of the wind down.
Competition
The
gourmet and specialty pre-packaged and frozen food industry has many large competitors specializing in various types of cuisine
from all over the world. Our product lines are currently concentrated on Italian specialty foods. While it is our contention that
our competition is much more limited than the entire frozen and pre-packaged food industry based on our products’ niche
market, there can be no assurances that we do not compete with the entire frozen and pre-packaged food industry. We believe our
principal competitors include Quaker Maid, Hormel, Rosina Company, Inc., Casa Di Bertacchi, Inc., Farm Rich, Inc., Mama Lucia,
Buona Vita, Inc., Taylor Farms and Kings Command.
Intellectual
Property
Our
current intellectual property consists of trade secret recipes and cooking processes for our products and four trademarks for
“MamaMancini’s”, “Mac N’ Mamas”, “Sunday Dinner” and “The Meatball Lovers
Meatball”. The recipes and use of the trademarks have been assigned in perpetuity to the Company.
We
rely on a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We will also
use technical measures to protect our proprietary rights.
Royalty
Agreement
In
accordance with a Development and License Agreement (the “Development and License Agreement”) entered into on January
1, 2009 with Dan Dougherty relating to the use of his grandmother’s recipes for the products to be created by MamaMancini’s,
Mr. Dougherty granted us a 50-year exclusive license (subject to certain minimum payments being made), with a 25-year extension
option, to use and commercialize the licensed items. Under the terms of the Development and License Agreement, Mr. Dougherty shall
develop a line of beef meatballs with sauce, turkey meatballs with sauce and other similar meats and sauces for commercial manufacture,
distribution and sale (each a “Licensor Product” and collectively the “Licensor Products”). Mr. Dougherty
shall work with us to develop Licensor Products that are acceptable to us. Upon acceptance of a Licensor Product by us, Mr. Dougherty’s
trade secret recipes, formulas methods and ingredients for the preparation and production of such Licensor Products shall be subject
to the Development and License Agreement. In connection with the Development and License Agreement, we pay Mr. Dougherty a royalty
fee on net sales.
USDA
approval / Regulations
Our
food products, which are manufactured both in our own manufacturing facilities and in third-party facilities, are subject to various
federal, state and local regulations and inspection, and to extensive regulations and inspections, regarding sanitation, quality,
packaging and labeling. In order to distribute and sell our products outside the State of New Jersey, the third-party food processing
facilities must meet the standards promulgated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”). Our manufacturing
processing facilities and products are subject to periodic inspection by federal, state, and local authorities. In January 2011,
the FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act was signed into law. The law will increase the number of inspections at food facilities
in the U.S. in an effort to enhance the detection of food borne illness outbreaks and order recalls of tainted food products.
The facilities in which our products are manufactured are inspected regularly and comply with all the requirements of the FDA
and USDA.
We
are subject to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and regulations promulgated thereunder by the FDA. This comprehensive regulatory
program governs, among other things, the manufacturing, composition and ingredients, packaging, and safety of food. Under this
program, the FDA regulates manufacturing practices for foods through, among other things, its current “good manufacturing
practices” regulations, or GMP’s, and specifies the recipes for certain foods. Specifically, the USDA defines “all
natural” as a product that contains no artificial ingredients, coloring ingredients or chemical preservatives and is minimally
processed. The Company’s products were submitted to the USDA and approved as “all natural”. However, should
the USDA change their definition of “all natural” at some point in the future, or should MamaMancini’s change
their existing recipes to include ingredients that do not meet the USDA’s definition of “all natural”, our results
of operations could be adversely affected.
The
FTC and other authorities regulate how we market and advertise our products, and we are currently in compliance with all regulations
related thereto, although we could be the target of claims relating to alleged false or deceptive advertising under federal and
state laws and regulations. Changes in these laws or regulations or the introduction of new laws or regulations could increase
the costs of doing business for us or our customers or suppliers or restrict our actions, causing our results of operations to
be adversely affected.
Quality
Assurance
We
take precautions designed to ensure the quality and safety of our products. In addition to routine third-party inspections of
our manufacturing facilities, we have instituted regular audits to address topics such as allergen control, ingredient, packaging
and product specifications and sanitation. Under the FDA Food Modernization Act, both our own manufacturing facilities and each
of our contract manufacturers are required to have a hazard analysis critical control points plan that identifies critical pathways
for contaminants and mandates control measures that must be used to prevent, eliminate or reduce relevant food-borne hazards.
Our
manufacturing facility is certified in the Safe Quality Food Program. These standards are integrated food safety and quality management
protocols designed specifically for the food sector and offer a comprehensive methodology to manage food safety and quality simultaneously.
Certification provides an independent and external validation that a product, process or service complies with applicable regulations
and standards.
We
work with suppliers who assure the quality and safety of their ingredients. These assurances are supported by our purchasing contracts
or quality assurance specification packets, including affidavits, certificates of analysis and analytical testing, where required.
The quality assurance staff within our manufacturing facility and within our contract manufacturers conduct periodic on-site routine
audits of critical ingredient suppliers.
OTHER
Employees
We
currently have 26 employees.
Websites
The
Company operates websites at www.mamamancinis.com.
LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
We
are subject from time to time to litigation, claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. As of February 17,
2021, we were not a party to any material litigation, claim or suit whose outcome could have a material effect on our financial
statements.

For
the year ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company reported a net income of $1,532,694 and $453,499, respectively. The change
in net income between the year ended January 31, 2020 and 2019 was primarily attributable to an increase in sales of 22% in addition
to a decrease in other expenses.
Sales:
Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts increased by approximately 22% to $34,837,447 during the year ended January 31,
2020, from $28,474,374 during the year ended January 31, 2019. In addition, during the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company
was able to increase its sales through new customers as well as its existing customer base.
Gross
Profit: The gross profit margin was 32% for the year ended January 31, 2020 compared to 35% for the year ended January 31,
2019. During the year ended January 31, 2020, cost of sales included an increase in depreciation expense of approximately $255,000
(thereby reducing gross margin by approximately 1%) related to the significant plant capacity additions during the last 12 months.
Gross margin also decreased slightly due to a change in product mix. In future periods the Company expects sales to increase from
the current quarter level which should increase gross profit margin as plant efficiencies should take effect.
Operating
Expenses: Operating expenses increased by 7% during the year ended January 31, 2020, as compared to the year ended January
31, 2019. Operating expenses decreased as a percentage of sales from 30% in 2019 to 26% in 2020. The $562,516 increase in total
operating expenses is primarily attributable to the following increases in operating expenses:
●
|
Postage and freight
of $580,428 due to increased sales and a slight increase in freight rates in the first part of the year, offset by lower rates
in the last quarter;
|
|
|
●
|
Commission expense
of $116,355 due to increased sales; and
|
|
|
●
|
Professional fees
of $80,917 due to investor relations and investment banking activities.
|
These
expense increases were offset by decreases in the following as well as minimal decreases in other expense categories:
●
|
Stock-based compensation
for services rendered by employees and consultants decreased by $68,302 compared to the prior period; and
|
|
|
●
|
Advertising of $31,267
due to lower co-op ad expense as the mix of sales moved to everyday pricing which included merchandising events.
|
Other
Expense: Other expenses decreased by $464,286 to $550,730 for the year ended January 31, 2020 as compared to $1,015,016 during
the year ended January 31, 2019. For year ended January 31, 2020, other expenses consisted of $482,995 in interest expense incurred
on the Company’s financing arrangements. In addition, the Company recorded $67,735 of amortization expense related to the
debt discount. For year ended January 31, 2019, other expenses consisted of $881,702 in interest expense incurred on the Company’s
financing arrangements. In addition, the Company recorded $133,314 of amortization expense related to the debt discount.

As
of January 31, 2020, we had working capital of $1,412,024 as compared to a working capital of $1,147,338 as of January 31, 2019,
an increase of $264,686. The increase in working capital is primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of $1,077,063
and an increase in prepaid expenses of $97,090. These amounts were offset by a decrease in cash of $215,726, an increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of $490,858 and a $177,912 increase in the current portion of lease obligations.
Net
cash provided by operating activities for the year ended January 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1,814,689 and $1,443,408, respectively.
The net income for the year ended January 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1,532,694 and $453,499, respectively.
Net
cash used in all investing activities for the year ended January 31, 2020 was $268,106 as compared to $1,033,724 for the year
ended January 31, 2019, respectively, to acquire new machinery and equipment and leasehold improvements. Our capital expenditures
are attributed to a Plant Expansion Project in progress since mid-2017 to expand plant capacity and efficiency to meet growing
demand.
Net
cash used in all financing activities for the year ended January 31, 2020 was $1,762,399 as compared to $381,597 used in financing
activities for the year ended January 31, 2019. During the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company’s net borrowings on
its line of credit increased by $385,314 over the prior year. These cash in-flows were offset by payments on its term loan of
$2,058,337 and $89,376 paid for capital lease payments. During the year ended January 31, 2019, the Company received proceeds
of $40,000 received from the exercise of options, proceeds of $213,250 from capital-leaseback transactions and proceeds of $2.8
million from the term loan. These net proceeds were offset by $7,812 of repayments on a related party notes payable, repayment
of notes payable totaling $2,130,625, $120,446 for payment of debt issuance costs, net repayments of the line of credit of $90,356,
payments of term loan of $1,058,615 and $26,993 paid for capital lease payments.
As
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has net income and net cash provided by operations
of $1,532,694 and $1,814,689, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2020.
Although
the expected revenue growth and control of expenses leads management to believe that it is probable that the Company’s cash
resources will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements through the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021, the Company may require
additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives.
There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In that event,
the Company would be required to change its growth strategy and seek funding on that basis, though there is no guarantee it will
be able to do so.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As of
January 31, 2020 and 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Seasonality
Our operating
results are not affected by seasonality.
Inflation
Our business
and operating results are not affected in any material way by inflation.

For
the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company reported net income of $734,142 and $408,615, respectively. The
change in net income between the three months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019 was primarily attributable to an increase in sales
of 7% and an increase in gross profit (32% of sales as discussed below) and in addition to a decrease in interest expense and
only a modest decrease in operating expenses (24% of sales as discussed below).
Sales:
Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts increased by approximately 7% to $9,898,991 during the three months ended October
31, 2020, from $9,267,036 during the three months ended October 31, 2019. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, the
Company was able to increase its sales through new customers as well as its existing customer base. The effect of COVID-19 slowed
new placements in the third quarter and are expected to resume in the fourth quarter.
Gross
Profit: The gross profit margin was 32% for the three months ended October 31, 2020 compared to 31% for the three months ended
October 31, 2019. Gross margin increased due to plant operating efficiencies.
Operating
Expenses: Operating expenses decreased by 2% during the three months ended October 31, 2020, as compared to the three months
ended October 31, 2019. Operating expenses decreased as a percentage of sales from 26% in three months ended October 31, 2019
to 24% in three months ended October 31, 2020. The $59,151 change in total operating expenses is primarily attributable to the
following increases in operating expenses:
●
|
Postage
and freight of $111,881 due to increased sales and slightly lower freight costs over the prior year,
|
|
|
●
|
Payroll
and related expenses of $64,609 due to the addition of a Senior Executive in February 2020,
|
|
|
●
|
Commission
expense of $55,865 directly related to increased sales, and
|
These
expense increases were offset by a decrease in the following as well as minimal decreases in other expense categories:
●
|
Advertising
and promotion of $203,847 due to lower promotional expenses for merchandising, offset by higher spending on a Sirius Radio
Campaign, and
|
|
|
●
|
Professional
fees of $34,153 due to a decrease in investor relations activities in comparison to the prior year.
|
Other
Expense: Other expenses decreased by $41,999 to $52,986 for the three months ended October 31, 2020 as compared to $94,985
during the three months ended October 31, 2019. For three months ended October 31, 2020, other expenses consisted of $45,822 in

For
the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company reported net income of $2,380,111 and $1,122,589, respectively. The
change in net income between the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019 was primarily attributable to an increase in sales
of 27% and stable gross profit (32% of sales as discussed below) in addition to a decrease in interest expense offset by increases
in operating expenses (24% of sales, a 2% decrease from the prior year, as discussed below).
Sales:
Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts increased by approximately 27% to $31,384,394 during the nine months ended October
31, 2020, from $24,731,305 during the nine months ended October 31, 2019. During the nine months ended October 31, 2020, the Company
was able to increase its sales through new customers as well as its existing customer base. COVID-19 had the effect of, consumer
hoarding of food and increasing inventory build at retailers in the first quarter of the year but slowed new placements in the
third quarter. The Company expects new placements to revert back to normal levels in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year.
Gross
Profit: The gross profit margin was 32% for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 compared to 32% for the nine months ended
October 31, 2019. Gross margins remained the same as a percentage of sales, due to short term higher beef raw material prices,
offset by higher plant operations efficiency.
Operating
Expenses: Operating expenses increased by 15% during the nine months ended October 31, 2020, as compared to the nine months
ended October 31, 2019. Operating expenses decreased as a percentage of sales from 26% in 2019 to 24% in 2020. The $967,869 increase
in total operating expenses is primarily attributable to the following increases in operating expenses:
●
|
Postage
and freight of $503,432 due to increased sales and change of customer mix;
|
|
|
●
|
Commission
expense of $263,760 directly related to increased sales;

As
of October 31, 2020, we had working capital of $3,494,259 as compared to a working capital of $1,412,024 as of January 31, 2020,
an increase of $2,082,235. In addition to the increase in sales and net income, the increase in working capital is primarily attributable
to an increase in cash of $1,399,160, an increase in inventories of $313,870, an increase in prepaid expenses of $38,784, a decrease
in accounts payable and accrued expenses $39,669 and a net decrease of $330,727 in the current portion of lease and debt obligations.
These amounts were offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $39,975.
Net
cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019 was $2,518,012 and $975,848, respectively.
Cash provided by operations is primarily attributable to the net income for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019 of
$2,380,111 and $1,122,589, respectively.
Net
cash used in all investing activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 was $320,332 as compared to $163,186 for the
nine months ended October 31, 2019, respectively, to acquire new machinery and equipment and leasehold improvements. Our capital
expenditures are attributed to a Plant Expansion Project in progress since mid-2017 to expand plant capacity and efficiency to
meet growing demand.
Net
cash used in all financing activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 was $798,520 as compared to $811,497 for the
nine months ended October 31, 2019. During the nine months ended October 31, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $330,505 from
the Paycheck Protection Program promissory note and proceeds of $2,742,897 from the exercise of options and warrants. The Company
returned the $330,505 received from the Paycheck Protection Program in May 2020. These cash in-flows were offset by payments on
its line of credit of $2,347,348, payments on its term loan of $441,663, payments of $641,844 on the related party loans and $110,562
paid for capital lease payments. During the nine months ended October 31, 2019, the Company made net borrowings on the line of
credit of $285,314. These cash in-flows were offset by net payments of term loan of $1,033,336 and $63,475 paid for capital lease
payments.
As
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has net income and net cash provided by operations
of $2,380,111 and $2,518,012, respectively, for the nine months ended October 31, 2020.
Although
the expected revenue growth and control of expenses lead management to believe that it is probable that the Company’s cash
resources will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements through the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021 based on current and
projected levels of operation, the Company may require additional funding to finance growth and achieve its strategic objectives.
If such financing is required, there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the
Company, if at all. In the event funding is not available on reasonable terms, the Company might be required to change its growth
strategy and/or seek funding on an alternative basis, but there is no guarantee it will be able to do so. Because of the rapidly
changing environment in response to COVID-19, the current expectations of the Company may be altered as conditions change.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory”,
which eliminates the exception that prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income tax effects for intra-entity
transfers of assets other than inventory until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The updated guidance is effective
for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the
update is permitted. The adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to
the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. This update is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures
in the notes to the financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by U.S. GAAP that is
most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that
are required, under existing U.S. GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. The amendments
in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. The adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements.
In
August 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
ASU 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is
a Service Contract”. The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred
in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop
or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted this guidance on February 1, 2020 on a prospective basis.
In
December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes (ASU 2019-12, “Income
Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”). This guidance eliminates certain exceptions
to the general approach to the income tax accounting model and adds new guidance to reduce the complexity in accounting
for income taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those
annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material
effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
condensed consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments
and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts
reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information
regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere
to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions
that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our
significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our condensed consolidated financial statements.
COVID-19
Pandemic
In
December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number
of other countries, including the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a
pandemic. In addition, as of the time of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, several states in the United States, including
New Jersey, where the Company is headquartered, have declared states of emergency, and several countries around the world, including
the United States, have taken steps to restrict travel. While all of the Company’s operations are located in the United
States, it participates in a global supply chain, and the existence of a worldwide pandemic, the fear associated with COVID-19,
or any pandemic, and the reactions of governments around the world in response to COVID-19, or any, pandemic, to regulate the
flow of labor and products and impede the travel of personnel, may impact its ability to conduct normal business operations, which
could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and liquidity. Disruptions to the Company’s supply chain
and business operations, or to its suppliers’ or customers’ supply chains and business operations, could include disruptions
from the closure of supplier and manufacturer facilities, interruptions in the supply of raw materials and components, personnel
absences, or restrictions on the shipment of its suppliers’ or customers’ products, any of which could have adverse
ripple effects on the Company’s manufacturing output and delivery schedule. If the Company needs to close any of its facilities
or a critical number of our employees become too ill to work, the production ability could be materially adversely affected in
a rapid manner. Similarly, if the Company’s customers experience adverse business consequences due to COVID-19, or any other
pandemic, demand for its products could also be materially adversely affected in a rapid manner. Global health concerns, such
as COVID-19, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries and localities in which the Company
or its suppliers and customers operate. Any of these uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial
condition or results of operations. In addition, a catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of the Company’s
data centers or its critical business or information technology systems would severely affect the ability to conduct normal business
operations and, as a result, the operating results would be adversely affected.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We
do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons,
also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).
CHANGES
AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Since
inception until the present time, the principal independent accounting firm for the Company has not resigned, declined to stand
for reelection or been dismissed. We have no disagreements with our independent registered public accounting firm on any matter
of accounting principles or with any financial statement disclosures.

Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
Effective
January 21, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”)
adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) applicable to the Company and all subsidiaries and entities controlled
by the Company and the Company’s directors, officers and employees. Compliance with the Code of Ethics is required of all
Company personnel at all times. The Company’s senior management is charged with ensuring that the Code of Ethics and the
Company’s corporate policies will govern, without exception, all business activities of the Company. The Code of Ethics
addresses, among other things, the use and protection of Company assets and information, avoiding conflicts of interest, corporate
opportunities and transactions with business associates and document retention.
Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
During
the past five years no director, person nominated to become a director, executive officer, promoter or control person of the Company
has: (i) had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive
officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (ii) been convicted in a criminal proceeding
or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (iii) been subject to
any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently
or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking
activities; or (iv) been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed,
suspended, or vacated.
Compliance
with Section 16(A) of the Exchange Act
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own 10% or more
of a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in
beneficial ownership with the SEC. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the rules and
regulations of the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all reports filed by them in compliance with Section 16(a).
Based
solely on our review of certain reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the reports required to be filed with respect to transactions in our common stock during the
period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, were timely.
Legal
Proceedings
There
are no material proceedings to which any director or officer, or any associate of any such director or officer, is a party that
is adverse to our Company or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to our Company or any of our subsidiaries.
No director or executive officer has been a director or executive officer of any business which has filed a bankruptcy petition
or had a bankruptcy petition filed against it during the past ten years. No director or executive officer has been convicted of
a criminal offense or is the subject of a pending criminal proceeding during the past ten years. No director or executive officer
has been the subject of any order, judgment or decree of any court permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or
otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities during the past ten years. No director
or officer has been found by a court to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law during the past ten years.
Officers
and Directors Indemnification
Under
our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, the Company may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party
to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his or her position, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or
she reasonably believed to be in the Company’s best interest. The Company may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding.
To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he or she is to be indemnified,
the Company must indemnify the officer or director against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect
to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding,
and if the officer or director is judged liable, then only by a court order. The indemnification coverage is intended to be to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
Regarding
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to officers or directors under
applicable state law, the Company is informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification
is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

DIRECTOR
COMPENSATION
Our
executive officers who are members of our board of directors and the directors who are not considered independent under the corporate
governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange do not receive compensation from us for their service on our board of directors.
Accordingly, Mr. Wolf and Mr. Brown do not receive compensation from us for their service on our board of directors. Only those
directors who are considered independent directors under the corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange receive
compensation from us for their service on our board of directors. Mr. Burns, Mr. D’Agostino, Mr. Toto and Mr. Janeway are
to be paid $10,000 per annum for their service as members of the board, payable quarterly in Company common stock.
In
June 2017, each of our directors were granted stock options to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an
exercise of $1.05. All such options vested quarterly over a one-year period and expire 5 years from the date of grant.
In
September 2018, each of our directors were granted stock options to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
at an exercise of $0.80. All such options vested quarterly over a one-year period and expire 5 years from the date of grant.
There
is no formal arrangement with our board of directors for the granting of options. There is no assurance that the Company will
continue to issue options to the board of directors or on what terms such issuance would occur. In addition, our Lead Director,
Steven Burns was paid $51,600 and $58,000 in cash compensation for the years ended January 31, 2020 and January 31, 2019, respectively,
for his additional services in that capacity.
We
also reimburse all of our directors for reasonable expenses incurred to attend board of director or committee meetings.
The
following Director Compensation Table sets forth the compensation of our directors for the fiscal years ending on January 31,
2020 and January 31, 2019.

DISCLOSURE
OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
The
Securities and Exchange Commission’s Policy on Indemnification
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling
persons of the company pursuant to any provisions contained in its Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection
with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of registrant’s legal counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item
13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
Although
we will receive no proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to this prospectus, we have agreed to bear the costs and expenses
of the registration of the shares. Our expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered
are estimated as follows:
Nature

All
amounts are estimates other than the Securities and Exchange Commission’s registration fee. We are paying all expenses of
the offering listed above through advances to the Company by the Company’s founding shareholders. No portion of these expenses
will be borne by the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any other expenses incurred in selling
their common stock, including any brokerage commissions or costs of sale.
Item
14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Pursuant
to our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding,
including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best
interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer
or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify
him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made
only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable,
only by a court order. The prior discussion of indemnification in this paragraph is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted
by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors or officers pursuant to the
foregoing provisions. However, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Item
