Accounting Policies and Estimates
−Removed: prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
−Removed: Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated
−Removed: financial statements attached hereto.
−Removed: We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgements and
−Removed: estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the five-step model as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
−Removed: Accounting Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”) in which the Company evaluates the transfer of promised
−Removed: goods or services and recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects
−Removed: the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
−Removed: To determine revenue
−Removed: recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following
−Removed: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine
−Removed: the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue
−Removed: when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
−Removed: goodwill consists of the cost in excess of the fair market value of the acquired net assets of OPTCO, SONO, CFI and Steep & Brew,
−Removed: through GCC, which has been integrated into a structure that does not provide the basis for separate reporting units.
−Removed: Consequently,
−Removed: we are a single reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing purposes.
−Removed: We also have intangible assets consisting of our customer
−Removed: lists and relationships and trademarks acquired from OPTCO and SONO.
−Removed: At October 31, 2021 our balance sheet reflected goodwill and
−Removed: intangible assets as set forth below:
+Added: preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
+Added: United States of America (“U.S.
+Added: GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
+Added: reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
+Added: Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the
+Added: allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, assets held for sale, business combinations, carrying amounts of intangible assets
+Added: and goodwill, deferred taxes, income taxes, commodities held and loss contingencies.
+Added: Management bases its estimates on historical
+Added: experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
+Added: Actual results could differ
+Added: from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
+Added: believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, may be impacted significantly by judgment, assumptions and estimates
+Added: used in the preparation of the financial statements:
+Added: Company has adopted the new revenue recognition standard ASC 606 on November 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method.
+Added: The majority of the Company’s business is ship and bill.
+Added: The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the five-step
+Added: model in which the Company evaluates the transfer of promised goods or services and recognizes revenue when its customer obtains
+Added: control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled
+Added: to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
+Added: To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements, the Company performs
+Added: the following five steps:
+Added: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract,
+Added: (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and
+Added: (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
+Added: November 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”).
+Added: The new guidance increases transparency by requiring
+Added: the recognition of right to use assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial condition.
+Added: The recognition of these
+Added: lease assets and lease liabilities represents a change from previous US GAAP requirement, which did not require lease assets
+Added: and lease liabilities to be recognized for most operating leases.
+Added: The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses
+Added: and cash flows arising from a lease, have not significantly changed from previous US GAAP requirements.
+Added: On November 1, 2019,
+Added: the effective date of ASC 842, existing leases of ours were required to be recognized and measured.
+Added: Additionally any leases
+Added: entered into during the year were also required to recognized and measured.
+Added: In applying ASC 842, we made an accounting policy
+Added: election not to recognize the right of use assets and lease liabilities relating to short-term leases.
+Added: Implementation of ASC
+Added: 842 included an analysis of contracts, including real estate leases and service contracts to identify embedded leases, to
+Added: determine the initial recognition of the right to use assets and lease liabilities, which required subjective assessment over
+Added: the determination of the associated discount rates to apply in determining the lease liabilities.
+Added: The new standard provides
+Added: a number of transition practical expedients, which the Company has elected, including:
+Added: A “package of three” expedients
+Added: that must be taken together and allow entities to (1) not reassess whether existing contracts contain leases, (2) carryforward
+Added: the existing lease classification, and (3) not reassess initial direct costs associated with existing leases.
+Added: allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to provide for losses arising from customers’ inability to make required
+Added: If there is deterioration of our customers’ credit worthiness and/or there is an increase in the length of
+Added: time that the receivables are past due greater than the historical assumptions used, additional allowances may be required.
+Added: For example, every additional one percent of our accounts receivable that becomes uncollectible, would decrease our operating
+Added: income by approximately $74,000 for the year ended October 31, 2020.
+Added: The reserve for sales discounts represents the estimated
+Added: discount that customers will take upon payment.
+Added: The reserve for other allowances represents the estimated amount of returns,
+Added: slotting fees and volume based discounts estimated to be incurred by us from our customers.
+Added: are stated at lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.
+Added: Based on our assumptions about future demand
+Added: and market conditions, inventories are subject to be written-down to market value.
+Added: If our assumptions about future demand
+Added: change and/or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, additional write-downs of inventories may
+Added: Each additional one percent of potential inventory write-down would have decreased operating income by approximately
+Added: $171,000 for the year ended October 31, 2020.
+Added: commodities held at broker represent the market value of our trading account, which consists of option and futures contracts
+Added: for coffee held with a brokerage firm.
+Added: We use options and futures contracts, which are not designated or qualifying as hedging
+Added: instruments, to partially hedge the effects of fluctuations in the price of green coffee beans.
+Added: Options and futures contracts
+Added: are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements with current recognition of gains and losses on such
+Added: We classify options and futures contracts as trading securities and accordingly, unrealized holding gains and losses
+Added: are included in earnings.
+Added: We record realized and unrealized gains and losses in our cost of sales in the statement of operations/income.
+Added: account for income taxes in accordance with the relevant authoritative guidance.
+Added: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed
+Added: for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable
+Added: or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected
+Added: Deferred tax assets are reflected on the balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that
+Added: the asset will be realized.
+Added: goodwill consists of the cost in excess of the fair market value of the acquired net assets of OPTCO, SONO, CFI and Steep
+Added: & Brew, through GCC, which has been integrated into a structure that does not provide the basis for separate reporting
+Added: Consequently, we are a single reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing purposes.
