−Removed: The decrease in net sales was due to multiple factors, including a decline of $5.2 million
−Removed: in sales of packed coffee.
−Removed: During April 2021 we experienced a 50% decline, as compared to April 2020, in production at our largest operating

+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: 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: 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 we have 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 net accounts receivable that becomes uncollectible, would decrease our operating
+Added: income by approximately $78,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2021.
+Added: The reserve for sales discounts represents the
+Added: estimated discount that customers will take upon payment.
+Added: The reserve for other allowances represents the estimated amount
+Added: of returns, 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: 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: $157,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2021.
+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
