NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:

 

Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (the “Company”) conducts wholesale coffee operations, including manufacturing, roasting, packaging, marketing and distributing roasted and blended coffees for private labeled accounts and its own brands, and it sells green coffee. The Company also manufactures and sells coffee roasters. The Company’s core product, coffee, can be summarized and divided into three product categories (“product lines”) as follows:

 

  Wholesale Green Coffee: unroasted raw beans imported from around the world and sold to large and small roasters and coffee shop operators;
   
  Private Label Coffee: coffee roasted, blended, packaged and sold under the specifications and names of others, including supermarkets that want to have their own brand name on coffee to compete with national brands; and
   
  Branded Coffee: coffee roasted and blended to the Company’s own specifications and packaged and sold under the Company’s eight proprietary and licensed brand names in different segments of the market.

 

The Company’s private label and branded coffee sales are primarily to customers that are located throughout the United States with limited sales in Canada and certain countries in Asia. Such customers include supermarkets, wholesalers, and individually-owned and multi-unit retailers. The Company’s unprocessed green coffee, which includes over 90 specialty coffee offerings, is sold primarily to specialty gourmet roasters and to coffee shop operators in the United States with limited sales in Australia, Canada, England and China.

 

The Company’s wholesale green, private label, and branded coffee product categories generate revenues and cost of sales individually but incur selling, general and administrative expenses in the aggregate. There are no individual product managers and discrete financial information is not available for any of the product lines. The Company’s product portfolio is used in one business and it operates and competes in one business activity and economic environment. In addition, the three product lines share customers, manufacturing resources, sales channels, and marketing support. Thus, the Company considers the three product lines to be one single reporting segment.

 

On September 29, 2022, the Company entered into a Merger and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Delta Corp Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”), Delta Corp Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales (“Delta”), CHC Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), and each of the holders of ordinary shares of Delta as named therein (the “Sellers”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), will be cancelled and converted for the right of the holder thereof to receive one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 of Pubco (the “Pubco Ordinary Shares”).

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Going Concern

 

These accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company prepared a forecast representing their business plans for fiscal 2024. However, the Company has yet to achieve increased revenues at higher margins and there is no assurance they will be successful. The line of credit expires within 12 months and there have been no discussions with the financial institution to extend the line of credit ($9 million at July 31, 2023).

 

The Company’s ability to execute its operating plan through fiscal 2024 and beyond depends on its ability to renew or replace its line of credit. The Company expects to renew the line of credit or, if necessary, seek alternative financing on similar terms. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to renew the line of credit in a timely manner and or that any such renewal will contain commercially acceptable terms. Therefore, as of July 31, 2023, the Company has concluded there is substantial doubt about their ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on October 31, of each calendar year. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The October 31, 2022 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data in this document was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended October 31, 2022 and notes thereto included in the Company’s fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2023 (the “2022 10-K”). The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its subsidiaries, namely, Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO”), Sonofresco, LLC (“SONO”), Comfort Foods, Inc. (“CFI”) and Generations Coffee Company, LLC (“GCC”), the entity formed as a result of the Company’s joint venture with Caruso’s Coffee, Inc. The Company owns a 60% equity interest in GCC. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our 2022 10-K, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the five-step model as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) in which the Company evaluates the transfer of promised goods or services and recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

NOTE 4 - COMMODITIES HELD BY BROKER:

 

The Company has used, and intends to continue to use in a limited capacity, short-term coffee futures and options contracts primarily for the purpose of partially hedging and minimizing the effects of changing green coffee prices and to reduce cost of sales. The commodities held by broker represent the market value of the Company’s trading account, which consists of options and futures contracts for coffee held with a brokerage firm. The Company uses options and futures contracts, which are not designated or qualifying as hedging instruments, to partially hedge the effects of fluctuations in the price of green coffee beans. Options and futures contracts are recognized at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements with current recognition of gains and losses on such positions. The Company’s accounting for options and futures contracts may increase earnings volatility in any particular period. We record all open contract positions on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value in the due from and due to broker line items and typically do not offset these assets and liabilities.

 

The Company classifies its options and futures contracts as trading securities, and accordingly, unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings and not reflected as a net amount as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

 

The Company recorded realized and unrealized gains and losses respectively, on these contracts as follows:

 

 

   2023   2022 
   Three Months Ended July 31, 
   2023   2022

NOTE 5 - LINE OF CREDIT:

 

On April 25, 2017 the Company and OPTCO (together with the Company, collectively referred to herein as the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “A&R Loan Agreement”) and Amended and Restated Loan Facility (the “A&R Loan Facility”) with Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”) (later acquired by Webster Financial Corp. (“Webster”), which consolidated (i) the financing agreement between the Company and Sterling, dated February 17, 2009, as modified, (the “Company Financing Agreement”) and (ii) the financing agreement between Company, as guarantor, OPTCO and Sterling, dated March 10, 2015 (the “OPTCO Financing Agreement”), amongst other things.

 

On March 17, 2022, the Company reached an agreement for a new loan modification agreement and credit facility which extended the maturity date to June 29, 2022. The facility was then approved for a two-year extension. All other terms of the A&R Loan Agreement and A&R Loan Facility remained the same.

 

On June 28, 2022, the Company reached an agreement for a new loan modification agreement and credit facility with Webster. The terms of the new agreement, among other things: (i) provided for a new maturity date of June 30, 2024, and (ii) changed the interest rate per annum to SOFR plus 1.75% (with such interest rate not to be lower than 3.50%). All other terms of the A&R Loan Agreement and A&R Loan Facility remained the same.

 

The Company is subject to certain covenants with respect to its line of credit agreement. The Company was not in compliance with the net profit and non-borrower affiliate covenants as of October 31, 2022. The Company requested a waiver from the lender and the waiver was granted and received on March 15, 2023. The lender also extended the due date of the October 31, 2022 financial statements until April 15, 2023. The loan agreement was also modified on March 15, 2023 to, among other things: (i) provide for a requirement for subordination agreements if necessary, and (ii) change the terms of transactions with affiliates from a dollar limitation to allowable in the ordinary course of business, (iii) establishe a new covenant for a fixed charge coverage ratio.

 

Each of the A&R Loan Facility and A&R Loan Agreement contains covenants, subject to certain exceptions, that place annual restrictions on the Borrowers’ operations, including covenants relating to debt restrictions, capital expenditures, indebtedness, minimum deposit restrictions, tangible net worth, net profit, leverage, employee loan restrictions, dividend and repurchase restrictions (common stock and preferred stock), and restrictions on intercompany transactions. The outstanding balance on the Company’s lines of credit were $9,020,000 and $8,314,000 as of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, respectively.

 

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES:

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision or benefit is the tax incurred for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

As of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits or open tax positions. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to income taxes. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress.

The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return and California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, New York City, Virginia, Texas, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Oregon state tax returns.

 

The Company’s federal income tax return is no longer subject to examination by the federal taxing authority for years before fiscal 2019. The Company’s California, Colorado and New Jersey and Texas income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by their respective taxing authorities for the years before fiscal 2019. The Company’s Oregon, New York, Kansas, South Carolina, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Michigan income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by their respective taxing authorities for the years before fiscal 2019.

 

NOTE 7 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:

 

The Company presents “basic” and “diluted” earnings per common share pursuant to the provisions included in the authoritative guidance issued by FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” and certain other financial accounting pronouncements. Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing net (loss) income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of potential sources of dilution.

 

The weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share were 5,708,599 for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company had granted 1,000,000 options in the second quarter of 2019, which have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive nature.

 

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

 

The Company has a 401(k) Retirement Plan, which covers all the full time employees who have completed one year of service and have reached their 21st birthday. The Company matches 100% of the aggregate salary reduction contribution up to the first 3% of compensation and 50% of aggregate contribution of the next 2% of compensation.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

 

Some of the matters discussed under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of “Operations” “Business,” “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this annual report include forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We have based these forward-looking statements upon information available to management as of the date of this Form 10-Q and management’s expectations and projections about future events, including, among other things:

 

  ● our dependency on a single commodity could affect our revenues and profitability;
  ● our success in expanding our market presence in new geographic regions;
  ● the effectiveness of our hedging policy may impact our profitability;
  ● the success of our joint ventures;
  ● our success in implementing our business strategy or introducing new products;
  ● our ability to attract and retain customers;
  ● our ability to obtain additional financing;
  ● our ability to comply with the restrictive covenants we are subject to under our current financing;
  ● the effects of competition from other coffee manufacturers and other beverage alternatives;
  ● the impact to the operations of our Colorado facility;
  ● general economic conditions and conditions which affect the market for coffee;
  ● the potential adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and results;
  ● our expectations regarding, and the stability of, our supply chain, including potential shortages or interruptions in the supply or delivery of green coffee;
  ● the macro global economic environment;
  ● our ability to maintain and develop our brand recognition;
  ● the impact of rapid or persistent fluctuations in the price of coffee beans;
  ● fluctuations in the supply of coffee beans;
  ● the volatility of our common stock; and
  ● other risks which we identify in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate” and similar expressions (or the negative of such expressions). Any or all of our forward looking statements in this quarterly report and in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. In addition we undertake no responsibility to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this quarterly report.

 

Overview

 

We are an integrated wholesale coffee roaster and dealer in the United States and one of the few coffee companies that offers a broad array of coffee products across the entire spectrum of consumer tastes, preferences and price points. As a result, we believe that we are well-positioned to increase our profitability and endure potential coffee price volatility throughout varying cycles of the coffee market and economic conditions.

 

Our operations have primarily focused on the following areas of the coffee industry:

 

  ● the sale of wholesale specialty green coffee;
  ● the roasting, blending, packaging and sale of private label coffee;
  ● the roasting, blending, packaging and sale of our eight brands of coffee; and
  ● sales of our tabletop coffee roasting equipment.

 

16

 

Our operating results are affected by a number of factors including:

 

  ● the level of marketing and pricing competition from existing or new competitors in the coffee industry;
  ● our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers;
  ● our hedging policy;
  ● fluctuations in purchase prices and supply of green coffee and in the selling prices of our products; and
  ● our ability to manage inventory and fulfillment operations and maintain gross margins.

 

Our net sales are driven primarily by the success of our sales and marketing efforts and our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers. For this reason, we have made, and will continue to evaluate, strategic decisions to acquire and invest in measures that are expected to increase net sales.

 

Our sales are affected by the price of green coffee. We purchase our green coffee from dealers located primarily within the United States. The dealers supply us with coffee beans from many countries, including Colombia, Mexico, Kenya, Indonesia, Brazil and Uganda. The supply and price of coffee beans are subject to volatility and are influenced by numerous factors which are beyond our control. For example, in Brazil, which produces approximately 40% of the world’s green coffee, the coffee crops are historically susceptible to frost in June and July and drought in September, October and November. However, because we purchase coffee from a number of countries and are able to freely substitute one country’s coffee for another in our products, price fluctuations in one country generally have not had a material impact on the price we pay for coffee. Accordingly, price fluctuations in one country generally have not had a material effect on our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. Historically, because we generally have been able to pass green coffee price increases through to customers, increased prices of green coffee generally result in increased net sales, irrespective of sales volume.

 

The supply and price of coffee beans are subject to volatility and are influenced by numerous factors which are beyond our control. Historically, we have used, and intend to continue to use in a limited capacity, short-term coffee futures and options contracts primarily for the purpose of partially hedging the effects of changing green coffee prices. In addition, we acquired, and expect to continue to acquire, futures contracts with longer terms, generally three to four months, primarily for the purpose of guaranteeing an adequate supply of green coffee. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on options and futures contracts are reflected in our cost of sales. Gains on options and futures contracts reduce our cost of sales and losses on options and futures contracts increase our cost of sales. The use of these derivative financial instruments has generally enabled us to mitigate the effect of changing prices. We believe that, in normal economic times, our hedging policies remain a vital element to our business model not only in controlling our cost of sales, but also giving us the flexibility to obtain the inventory necessary to continue to grow our sales while trying to minimize margin compression during a time of historically high coffee prices.

 

However, no strategy can entirely eliminate pricing risks and we generally remain exposed to losses on futures contracts when prices decline significantly in a short period of time, and we would generally remain exposed to supply risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to any of our futures contracts. Although we have had net gains on options and futures contracts in the past, we have incurred significant losses on options and futures contracts during some recent reporting periods. In these cases, our cost of sales has increased, resulting in a decrease in our profitability or increase our losses. Such losses have and could in the future materially increase our cost of sales and materially decrease our profitability and adversely affect our stock price. If our hedging policy is not effective, we may not be able to control our coffee costs, we may be forced to pay greater than market value for green coffee and our profitability may be reduced. Failure to properly design and implement an effective hedging strategy may materially adversely affect our business and operating results. If the hedges that we enter do not adequately offset the risks of coffee bean price volatility or our hedges result in losses, our cost of sales may increase, resulting in a decrease in profitability or increased losses. As previously announced, as a result of the volatile nature of the commodities markets, we have and are continuing to scale back our use of hedging and short-term trading of coffee futures and options contracts, and intend to continue to use these practices in a limited capacity going forward.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023. Critical accounting policies and the significant estimates in accordance with such policies are regularly discussed with our Audit Committee. Those policies are discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies” in “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as in our consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto, each included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2023 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022.

 

Three Months Ended July 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended July 31, 2022

 

Net Sales. Net sales totaled $15,764,365 for the three months ended July 31, 2023, a decrease of $1,248,921, or 7.3%, from $17,013,286 for the three months ended July 31, 2022. The decrease in net sales was due to a decrease in sales from our Generations/Steep N Brew subsidiary and lower selling prices of green coffee to our wholesale green coffee customer base partially offset by an increase of sales to our legacy customers.

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended July 31, 2023 was $13,315,602, or 84.5% of net sales, as compared to $13,867,710, or 81.5% of net sales, for the three months July 31, 2022. Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of green coffee and packaging materials and realized and unrealized gains or losses on hedging activity. The decrease in cost of sales was due to our decreased sales partially offset by a small loss in our hedging operation compared to a gain in hedging in 2022.

 

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 2023 amounted to $2,448,763 or 15.5% of net sales, as compared to $3,145,576 or 18.5% of net sales, for the three months ended July 31, 2022. The decrease in gross profits on a percentage basis was attributable to the factors listed above.

 

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses decreased by $54,084 to $2,852,010 for the three months ended July 31, 2023 from $2,906,094 for the three months ended July 31, 2022. Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $49,757 and officers’ salaries decreased by $4,327. Operating expenses decreased primarily due to our Generations joint venture not generating expenses for the three months ended July 2023 compared to the three months ended July 31, 2022, partially offset by increase in various other categories

 

Other Income (Expense). Other income for the three months ended July 31, 2023 was $251,116, an increase of $311,568 from other expense of $60,452 for the three months ended July 31, 2022. The increase in other income was attributable to an increase in other income of $400,140 due to an insurance claim, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $90,924.

 

Income Taxes. Our benefit for income taxes for the three months ended July 31, 2023 totaled $40,250 compared to a provision of $46,649 for the three months ended July 31, 2022. The change was primarily attributable to the difference in the loss for the quarter ended July 31, 2023 versus the income in the quarter ended July 31, 2022.

 

Net (Loss) Income. We had a net loss of $111,881 or $(0.02) per share basic and diluted, for the three months ended July 31, 2023 compared to net income of $132,381, or $0.02 per share basic and diluted for the three months ended July 31, 2022.

 

18

 

Nine Months Ended July 31, 2023 Compared to the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2022

 

Net Sales. Net sales totaled $49,411,183 for the nine months ended July 31, 2023, a decrease of $805,133, or 1.6%, from $50,216,316 for the nine months ended July 31, 2022. The decrease in net sales was due to a decrease in sales from our Generations/Steep N Brew subsidiary and lower selling prices of green coffee to our wholesale green coffee customer base partially offset by an increase of sales to our legacy customers.

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was $41,810,204, or 84.6% of net sales, as compared to $40,806,381, or 81.3% of net sales, for the nine months July 31, 2022. Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of green coffee and packaging materials and realized and unrealized gains or losses on hedging activity.

 

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 amounted to $7,600,979 or 15.4% of net sales, as compared to $9,409,935 or 18.7% of net sales, for the nine months ended July 31, 2022. The decrease in gross profits on a percentage basis was attributable to the factors listed above.

 

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses decreased by $790,488 to $9,189,704 for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 from $9,980,192 for the nine months ended July 31, 2022. Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $808,661 and officers’ salaries increased by $18,173. Operating expenses decreased primarily due to our Generations joint venture not generating expenses for the nine months ended July 2023 compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2022, partially offset by increase in various other categories.

 

Other Income (Expense). Other income for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was $229,401, an increase of $411,853 from other expense of $182,452 for the nine months ended July 31, 2022. The increase was attributable to an increase in other income of $634,181 due to an insurance claim, a decrease in our loss from our equity investments of $28,844, partially offset by an increase in our interest expense of $250,197 and a decrease in our interest income of $975, during the nine months ended July 31, 2023.

 

Income Taxes. Our benefit for income taxes for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 totaled $355,500 compared to a benefit of $188,626 for the nine months ended July 31, 2022. The change was primarily attributable to the difference in the income for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 versus the income in the nine months ended July 31, 2022.

 

Net (Loss) Income. We had a net loss of $1,003,824 or ($0.18) per share basic and diluted, for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 compared to net income of $45,148, or $0.01 per share basic and diluted for the nine months ended July 31, 2022. The decrease in net income was due primarily to the reasons described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Going Concern

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company prepared a forecast representing their business plans for fiscal 2024. However, the Company has yet to achieve increased revenues at higher margins and there is no assurance they will be successful. The line of credit expires within 12 months and there have been no discussions with the financial institution to extend the line of credit ($9 million at July 31, 2023).

 

The Company’s ability to execute its operating plan through fiscal 2024 and beyond depends on its ability to renew or replace its line of credit. The Company expects to renew the line of credit or, if necessary, seek alternative financing on similar terms. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to renew the line of credit in a timely manner and or that any such renewal will contain commercially acceptable terms. Therefore, as of July 31, 2023, the Company has concluded there is substantial doubt about their ability to continue as a going concern.

 

19

 

As of July 31, 2023, we had working capital of $15,501,828, which represented a $9,760,396 decrease from our working capital of $25,262,224 as of October 31, 2022. Our working capital decreased primarily due to decreases of $97,323 in cash and cash equivalents, $1,334,319 in accounts receivable, $2,113,830 in inventories, $261,536 in due from broker and our line of credit of $9,020,000 being shown as current,partially offset by an increase of $9,306 in prepaid expenses and other current assets, decreases of $991,411 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $876,148 in cash overdrafts, $1,038,057 in due to broker and $151,690 in lease liability – current portion. As of July 31, 2023, the outstanding balance on our line of credit was $9,020,000 compared to $8,314,000 as of October 31, 2022.

 

On April 25, 2017 the Company and OPTCO (together with the Company, collectively referred to herein as the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “A&R Loan Agreement”) and Amended and Restated Loan Facility (the “A&R Loan Facility”) with Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”), which was later acquired by Webster Financial Corp. (“Webster”), which consolidated (i) the financing agreement between the Company and Sterling, dated February 17, 2009, as modified, (the “Company Financing Agreement”) and (ii) the financing agreement between Company, as guarantor, OPTCO and Sterling, dated March 10, 2015 (the “OPTCO Financing Agreement”), amongst other things.

 

On March 17, 2022, we reached an agreement for a new loan modification agreement and credit facility which extended the maturity date to June 29, 2022. All other terms of the A&R Loan Agreement and A&R Loan Facility remained the same.

 

On June 28, 2022, we reached an agreement for a new loan modification agreement and credit facility with Webster. The terms of the new agreement, among other things: (i) provided for a new maturity date of June 30, 2024, and (ii) changed the interest rate per annum to SOFR plus 1.75% (with such interest rate not to be lower than 3.50%). All other terms of the A&R Loan Agreement and A&R Loan Facility remained the same.

 

As further explained in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we are subject to certain covenants with respect to our line of credit agreement and we were not in compliance with the net profit and non-borrower affiliate covenants as of October 31, 2022. We requested a waiver from the lender and the waiver was granted and received on March 15, 2023. The lender also extended the due date of the October 31, 2022 financial statements until April 15, 2023. On March 15, 2023, the A&R Loan Agreement was also modified to, among other things: (i) provide for a requirement for subordination agreements if necessary, (ii) change the terms of transactions with affiliates from a dollar limitation to allowable in the ordinary course of business, and (iii) establish a new covenant for a fixed charge coverage ratio.

 

Each of the A&R Loan Facility and A&R Loan Agreement contains covenants, subject to certain exceptions, that place annual restrictions on the Borrowers’ operations, including covenants relating to debt restrictions, capital expenditures, indebtedness, minimum deposit restrictions, tangible net worth, net profit, leverage, employee loan restrictions, dividend and repurchase restrictions (common stock and preferred stock), and restrictions on intercompany transactions. The outstanding balance on our lines of credit were $9,020,000 and $8,314,000 as of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, respectively.

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2023, our operating activities provided net cash of $799,162 as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2022 when operating activities used net cash of $2,820,251. The increased cash flow from operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was primarily due to our inventory position.

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2023, our investing activities used net cash of $721,696 as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2022 when net cash used by investing activities was $1,357,066. The decrease in our uses of cash in investing activities was due to our decreased purchases of machinery and equipment during the nine months ended July 31, 2023.

 

For the nine months ended July 31, 2023, our financing activities used net cash of $174,789 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,911,519 for the nine months ended July 31, 2022. The change in cash flow from financing activities for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was due to our credit line activity.

 

20

 

We expect to fund our operations, including paying our liabilities, funding capital expenditures and making required payments on our indebtedness, through at least the next twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, with cash provided by operating activities and the use of our credit facility. In addition, an increase in eligible accounts receivable and inventory would permit us to make additional borrowings under our line of credit.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not Applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Management, which includes our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Material Weakness Over Financial Reporting

 

During the year ended October 31, 2020, our controls were inadequate to prevent and detect misstatements of stock-based compensation awards and quantities of inventory at one of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, management determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2021, we identified inappropriate system access controls over our financial reporting system. These controls were not designed to prevent or detect unauthorized changes to source information, or implement an appropriate level of segregation of duties. During this same period, we determined that we lacked adequate controls with respect to identifying and accounting for material contracts. This was evidenced by our failure to properly identify and account for a material lease amendment.

 

Further, during the year ended October 31, 2021, we determined that we lacked adequate controls with respect to physical custody of certain hardware, electronic and hard copy records of Generations Coffee and its component operation known as Steep n’ Brew following the Company’s relocation or vacating of certain premises used in the operations of that business unit. Accordingly, management determined that the foregoing were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses.

 

Additionally, on January 24, 2023, we concluded, after discussion with management, that our financial statements inaccurately accounted for certain intercompany eliminations in our consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. As a result, we determined that there was an overstatement of net sales and cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations of approximately $8.3 million in our financial statements during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 which required a restatement of the previously issued financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. This was due to inadequate design and implementation of controls to evaluate and monitor the presentation and compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America related to the statement of operations. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.

 

21

 

Notwithstanding such material weaknesses, we believe the financial information presented herein is materially correct and fairly presents the financial position and operating results of the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses

 

As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, management has identified material weaknesses as of that date. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. To remediate the material weaknesses identified above, we are initiating controls and procedures in order to:

 

  ● educating control owners concerning the principles and requirements of each control, with a focus on those related to user access to our financial reporting systems impacting financial reporting;
  ● developing and maintaining documentation to promote knowledge transfer upon personnel and function changes;
  ● developing enhanced controls and reviews related to our financial reporting systems;
  ● performing an in-depth analysis of who should have access to perform key functions within our financial reporting system that impact financial reporting and redesigning aspects of the system to better allow the access rights to be implemented.
  ● cross referencing analysis to be completed on a quarterly basis; and
  ● implementing additional levels of internal review of financial statements and any adjustments made thereto.

 

The material weaknesses identified above will not be considered remediated until our remediation efforts have been fully implemented and we have concluded that these controls are operating effectively.

 

Management does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Other than the changes intended to remediate the material weakness as discussed above and in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:

 

Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (the “Company”) conducts wholesale coffee operations, including manufacturing, roasting, packaging, marketing and distributing roasted and blended coffees for private labeled accounts and its own brands, and it sells green coffee. The Company also manufactures and sells coffee roasters. The Company’s core product, coffee, can be summarized and divided into three product categories (“product lines”) as follows:

 

  Wholesale Green Coffee: unroasted raw beans imported from around the world and sold to large and small roasters and coffee shop operators;
   
  Private Label Coffee: coffee roasted, blended, packaged and sold under the specifications and names of others, including supermarkets that want to have their own brand name on coffee to compete with national brands; and
   
  Branded Coffee: coffee roasted and blended to the Company’s own specifications and packaged and sold under the Company’s eight proprietary and licensed brand names in different segments of the market.

 

The Company’s private label and branded coffee sales are primarily to customers that are located throughout the United States with limited sales in Canada and certain countries in Asia. Such customers include supermarkets, wholesalers, and individually-owned and multi-unit retailers. The Company’s unprocessed green coffee, which includes over 90 specialty coffee offerings, is sold primarily to specialty gourmet roasters and to coffee shop operators in the United States with limited sales in Australia, Canada, England and China.

 

The Company’s wholesale green, private label, and branded coffee product categories generate revenues and cost of sales individually but incur selling, general and administrative expenses in the aggregate. There are no individual product managers and discrete financial information is not available for any of the product lines. The Company’s product portfolio is used in one business and it operates and competes in one business activity and economic environment. In addition, the three product lines share customers, manufacturing resources, sales channels, and marketing support. Thus, the Company considers the three product lines to be one single reporting segment.

GOING CONCERN, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Going Concern

 

These accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company prepared a forecast representing their business plans for fiscal 2024. However, the Company has yet to achieve increased revenues at higher margins and there is no assurance they will be successful. The line of credit expires within 12 months and there have been no discussions with the financial institution to extend the line of credit ($9 million at July 31, 2023).

 

The Company’s ability to execute its operating plan through fiscal 2024 and beyond depends on its ability to renew or replace its line of credit. The Company expects to renew the line of credit or, if necessary, seek alternative financing on similar terms. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to renew the line of credit in a timely manner and or that any such renewal will contain commercially acceptable terms. Therefore, as of July 31, 2023, the Company has concluded there is substantial doubt about their ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s fiscal year ends on October 31, of each calendar year. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The October 31, 2022 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data in this document was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended October 31, 2022 and notes thereto included in the Company’s fiscal 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2023 (the “2022 10-K”). The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its subsidiaries, namely, Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO”), Sonofresco, LLC (“SONO”), Comfort Foods, Inc. (“CFI”) and Generations Coffee Company, LLC (“GCC”), the entity formed as a result of the Company’s joint venture with Caruso’s Coffee, Inc. The Company owns a 60% equity interest in GCC. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our 2022 10-K, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the five-step model as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) in which the Company evaluates the transfer of promised goods or services and recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

COMMODITIES HELD BY BROKER:

NOTE 4 - COMMODITIES HELD BY BROKER:

 

The Company has used, and intends to continue to use in a limited capacity, short-term coffee futures and options contracts primarily for the purpose of partially hedging and minimizing the effects of changing green coffee prices and to reduce cost of sales. The commodities held by broker represent the market value of the Company’s trading account, which consists of options and futures contracts for coffee held with a brokerage firm. The Company uses options and futures contracts, which are not designated or qualifying as hedging instruments, to partially hedge the effects of fluctuations in the price of green coffee beans. Options and futures contracts are recognized at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements with current recognition of gains and losses on such positions. The Company’s accounting for options and futures contracts may increase earnings volatility in any particular period. We record all open contract positions on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value in the due from and due to broker line items and typically do not offset these assets and liabilities.

 

The Company classifies its options and futures contracts as trading securities, and accordingly, unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings and not reflected as a net amount as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

 

The Company recorded realized and unrealized gains and losses respectively, on these contracts as follows:

 

 

   2023   2022 
   Three Months Ended July 31, 
   2023   2022

The Company was not in compliance with the net profit and non-borrower affiliate covenants as of October 31, 2022.

NOTE 7 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE:

 

The Company presents “basic” and “diluted” earnings per common share pursuant to the provisions included in the authoritative guidance issued by FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” and certain other financial accounting pronouncements. Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing net (loss) income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of potential sources of dilution.

 

The weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share were 5,708,599 for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company had granted 1,000,000 options in the second quarter of 2019, which have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive nature.
