EXPLANATORY
NOTE
Coffee
Holding Co., Inc. (the “Company”) hereby amends its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30,
2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 14, 2021 (the “Original Quarterly Report”),
as set forth in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (the “Form 10-Q/A” or “Amended Quarterly Report”), to restate
its financial statements and related disclosures as of and for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2020.
Restatement
Background
The
Company has determined that it made certain errors in the presentation of net sales and cost of sales in its consolidated statements
of operations in the Company’s financial statements during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. The effect of these errors was
to overstate net sales and cost of sales for the reported period. The Company therefore has found it necessary to file this Amended Quarterly
Report to adjust the comparative periods presented. The errors and
the required restatement had no effect on the Company’s net income or earnings per share or other items in the consolidated statement
of operations as of any reporting date and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements
of changes in stockholders’ equity, or consolidated statements of cash flows.
This
Amended Quarterly Report sets forth the Original Quarterly Report, as modified and superseded where necessary to reflect the restatement
and the related internal control considerations. Accordingly, the following items included in the Original Quarterly Report have been
amended:
●
Part
I, Item 1, Financial Statements
●
Part
I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
●
Part
I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures
●
Part
II, Item 6, Exhibits
In
accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the Company is also including
with this Amended Quarterly Report currently dated certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer (attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 32.1). Except as discussed above and as further described in Note 2 in the Notes to Condensed
Financial Statements, the Company has not modified or updated disclosures presented in this Amended Quarterly Report. Accordingly, the
Amended Quarterly Report does not reflect events occurring after the Original Quarterly Report or modify or update those disclosures
affected by subsequent events. Information not affected by the restatement is unchanged and reflects disclosures made at the time of
the filing of the Original Quarterly Report.
As
a result of the restatement, the Company has concluded there was a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting
as of April 30, 2021, and its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. See additional discussion included in Part I, Item
4 of this Amended Quarterly Report.

HOLDING CO., INC.
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL
30, 2021
(UNAUDITED)
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 of 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 wholesale green coffee sales are included in the “green” revenue stream, and the Company’s private
label and branded coffee sales are included in the “packaged revenue stream” and 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.
COVID-19
The
global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government
in March 2020 and has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel
and transport restrictions, mandated closures and stay-at-home orders, and created significant disruption of the financial markets.
The
continuing impact on the Company’s business, including the decrease in our sales, the length and impact of stay-at-home orders
and/or regional quarantines, labor shortages and employment trends, disruptions to supply chains, including its ability to obtain products
from global suppliers, higher operating costs, the form and impact of economic stimulus and general overall economic instability, has
contributed to and may continue to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows. At this time the full impact could not be determined.

NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL

(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION, RESTATEMENT AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY:
The
following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2021, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and
(b) the unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information
not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest shareholders’ annual report on Form 10-K filed with the
SEC on February 16, 2021 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 (“Form 10-K”).
In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal and recurring nature adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement
of the Company’s financial position as of April 30, 2021 and 2020, and results of operations for the three and six months ended
April 30, 2021 and 2020 and the cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 as applicable, have been made.
The
results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results
for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries, Organic Products Trading
Company, LLC (“OPTCO”), Sonofresco, LLC (“SONO”), Comfort Foods, Inc. (“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 inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
RESTATEMENT:
The
Company is restating its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2020 to correct
its accounting for certain intercompany transactions that should have been eliminated in consolidation. The restatement is being made

Significant
Accounting Policies
The

Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the five-step model as prescribed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 (“ASC 606”) in which the Company evaluates the transfer of promised
goods or services and recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the
consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition
for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (1)
identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price,
(4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies
a performance obligation.
The
following table presents revenues by stream for the six and three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020.

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 our cost of sales. The commodities
held at broker represent the market value of the Company’s trading account, which consists of options and future 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.
The
Company has open position contracts held by the broker, which are summarized as follows:

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”), 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 13, 2020, the Company reached an agreement for a new loan modification agreement and credit facility with Sterling. The terms of
the new agreement, among other things: (i) provides for a new maturity date of March 31, 2022 and (ii) decreases the interest rate per
annum to LIBOR 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 remain the same.
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 Company was in compliance with all covenants as of April 30,
2021 and October 31, 2020. The outstanding balance on the Company’s lines of credit were $ 2,500 and $ 3,796,822 as of April 30,

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 April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, the Company did no t 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 April 30, 2021 and October
31, 2020, 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, Louisiana, Montana, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New Jersey, New York, New York City, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Texas state tax returns.
The Company’s federal income tax return is no longer subject to examination by the federal taxing authority for the years before
fiscal 2017. The Company’s California, Colorado and New Jersey income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by their
respective taxing authorities for the years before fiscal 2016. The Company’s Oregon and New York income tax returns are no longer
subject to examination by their respective taxing authorities for the years before fiscal 2017.
NOTE
7 - EARNINGS PER SHARE :
The
Company presents “basic” and “diluted” earnings per common share pursuant to the provisions included in the authoritative
guidance issued by FASB, “Earnings per Share,” and certain other financial accounting pronouncements. Basic earnings per
common share were computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings
per common share is computed by dividing the net 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 and 5,569,349
for the three and six months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company has granted 1,000,000 options which have not been
included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive nature.

8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES :
CLASS
ACTION COMPLAINTS
The Company was named as a defendant in
a putative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on or about December
21, 2020. The plaintiffs, Eileen Brodsky and Rhonda Diamond, purporting to represent a class of individuals who purchased coffee products
at Aldi, Inc. (“Aldi”), a supermarket chain, generally allege that Aldi sold private label coffee products manufactured by
the Company and another coffee roasting company, which falsely described the number of cups of coffee that could be made from
the amount of product purchased. Aldi and Pan American are also named as defendants in the action. The complaint asserts a variety of
claims under New York and California consumer protection laws, and seeks unspecified monetary damages, including disgorgement and restitution,
as well as other forms of relief including class certification, declaratory and injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, and interest.
The Company believes the allegations in the complaint are wholly without merit and that the claims asserted are legally deficient, and
the company intends to vigorously defend the action. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss, and the plaintiff has sought leave
to file an amended complaint. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit.
A
significant customer of the Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court
for the District of Massachusetts on or about February 2, 2021, concerning the labeling on private label coffee productions we sold to
the customer. The plaintiff, David Cohen, purporting to represent a class of individuals who purchased coffee products from our customer,
generally allege that the customer sold private label coffee products manufactured by the Company which falsely described the number
of cups of coffee that could be made from the amount of product purchased. The Company is not named as a defendant in the action, but
has agreed to indemnify the customer for the costs and expenses incurred in defending the lawsuit and for any liability the customer
may suffer as a result. The complaint asserts a variety of claims under Massachusetts consumer protection laws, and seeks unspecified
monetary damages as well as other forms of relief including class certification, declaratory and injunctive relief, attorneys’
fees, and interest. The Company believes the allegations in the complaint are wholly without merit and that the claims asserted are legally
deficient, and intends to vigorously support the customer in defending the action. As of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company is
unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit.
A
number of lawsuits similar to those above have been filed in recent years against coffee sellers in the industry in which the Company
competes. Many of these lawsuits have yet to be finally adjudicated. The Company believes the lawsuits filed against it are without merit.

9 - ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY (restated):
Approximately
23 % and 24 % of the Company’s sales were derived from six customers during the three and six months ended April 30, 2021, respectively.
These customers also accounted for approximately $ 2,094,000 of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at April 30, 2021. Approximately
28 % of the Company’s sales were derived from six customers during the three and six months ended April 30, 2020. These customers
also accounted for approximately $ 3,557,000 of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at April 30, 2020. Concentration of credit
risk with respect to other trade receivables is limited due to the short payment terms generally extended by the Company, by ongoing
credit evaluations of customers, and by maintaining an allowance for doubtful accounts that management believes will adequately provide
for credit losses.
Approximately
27 % and 28 % of the Company’s purchases were from six vendors for the three and six months ended April 30, 2021, respectively. These
vendors accounted for approximately $ 386,000 of the Company’s accounts payable at April 30, 2021. Approximately 30 % of the
Company’s purchases were from six vendors for the three and six months ended April 30, 2020, respectively. These vendors accounted
for approximately $ 971,000 of the Company’s accounts payable at April 30, 2020. Management does not believe the loss of any one
vendor would have a material adverse effect of the Company’s operations due to the availability of many alternate suppliers.
NOTE
10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS :
The
Company has engaged its 40 % partner in GCC as an outside contractor (the “Partner”). Included in contract labor expense are
expenses incurred from the Partner during the three and six months ended April 30, 2021 of $ 88,032 and $ 162,725 , respectively and $ 94,429
and $ 197,200 , respectively for the three and six months ended April 30, 2020, for the processing of finished goods. These amounts are
reflected in cost of sales in the statement of operations.
An
employee of one of the top five vendors is a director of the Company. Purchases from that vendor totaled approximately $ 0
and $ 734,000
for the three and six months ended April 30,
2021 and 2020, respectively and $ 1,672,000
and $ 3,005,000
for the three and six months ended April 30,
2020, respectively. These amounts are reflected in cost of sales in the statement of operations. The corresponding accounts payable balance
to this vendor was $ 0 at April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020.
In
January 2005, the Company established the “Coffee Holding Co., Inc. Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan.” Currently,
there is only one participant in the plan: the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Within the plan guidelines, this employee is
deferring a portion of his current salary and bonus. The assets are held in a separate trust. The deferred compensation payable represents
the liability due to an officer of the Company. The assets are included in the Deposits and other assets in the accompanying balance
sheets. The deferred compensation asset and liability at April 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020 were $ 307,476 and $ 276,548 , respectively.

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.
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. In addition to our acquisitions, in October 2020, we entered into an agreement to become a 49% owner
in The Jordre Well, a CBD beverage company (“The Jordre Well”). Under the terms of the agreement with The Jordre Well, The
Jordre Well will assist us in the development and commercialization of CBD-infused line extensions for the existing coffee brands within
our portfolio, as well as launch new brands that are intended to serve consumer demand for non-coffee CBD-infused beverages and products.
We believe these efforts will allow us to expand our business.
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.
- 19 -
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.
COVID-19
Pandemic
The
global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government
in March 2020 and has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel
and transport restrictions, mandated closures and stay-at-home orders, and created significant disruption of the financial markets. However,
we are classified as an essential business and its factories continued to operate with little to no impact from the pandemic-related
closures.
To
date, we have experienced minimal disruption to our supply chain or distribution network, including the supply of green coffee beans,
though it is possible that more significant disruptions could occur if the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact markets around the world.
We are also working closely with all of our business partners. As a food producer, we are an essential service and almost all of our
employees continue to work within our production and distribution facilities.
The
COVID-19 pandemic has had a material adverse impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended
April 30, 2021, and it has resulted, and is expected to continue to result for at least the near and immediate term, in significant economic
disruptions and changes to consumer behaviors in the United States, which, has impacted and is expected to continue to negatively impact
our business. Many of our customers who purchase green coffee from us for use in cafés, restaurants and food service operations,
were forced to temporarily suspend or close operations, adversely impacting our sales to customers in that segment. However, as sales
to the café, restaurant and food service segment decreased in the quarter, sales to large wholesaler and retail customers increased,
as there was a shift in buying and consumption of coffee products to this segment.
The
continuing impact on our business, including the length and impact of stay-at-home orders and/or regional quarantines, labor shortages
and employment trends, disruptions to supply chains, including our ability to obtain products from global suppliers, higher operating
costs, the form and impact of economic stimulus and general overall economic instability, is uncertain at this time and could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
There
have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three and six months ended April 30, 2021. 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 February 16, 2021 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020.

Three
Months Ended April 30, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 30, 2020 (restated)
Net Sales. Net
sales totaled $14,468,558 for the three months ended April 30, 2021, a decrease of $2,877,293, or 16.6%, from $17,345,851
for the three months ended April 30, 2020. The decrease in net sales was due to multiple factors, including a decline of $5.2 million
in sales of packed coffee. During April 2021 we experienced a 50% decline, as compared to April 2020, in production at our largest operating
facility in Colorado. This reduction was due to supermarkets no longer building their inventories as they did in April 2020 during COVID-19
shutdowns. Further, we experienced a loss of approximately $750,000 in revenue as we dropped Aldi, Inc. (“Aldi”) as a customer
due to unacceptably low net margins. The above losses were slightly offset by gains in sales to new private label accounts as well as
an increase in sales of our flagship Café Caribe brand.
Cost
of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended April 30, 2021 was $10,699,090, or 74% of net sales, as compared to $12,839,425,
or 74% of net sales, for the three months April 30, 2020. 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 offset by higher packaging costs due to increases in materials, most notably steel for our cans.
Gross
Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended April 30, 2021 amounted to $3,769,468 or 26% of net sales, as compared to $4,506,426
or 26% of net sales, for the three months ended April 30, 2020. The decrease in gross profit numerically was attributable
to decreased sales for the quarter ended April 30, 2021 as compared to the quarter ended April 30, 2020.
Operating
Expenses. Total operating expenses decreased by $297,553 to $3,315,324 for the three months ended April 30, 2021 from $3,612,877
for the three months ended April 30, 2020. Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $294,037 and officers’ salaries decreased
by $3,516. Our efforts to control costs through the elimination of redundancy in our operations and the elimination of certain unnecessary
variable costs were the primary reasons for this decrease. These efforts were partially offset by the increase in our freight costs as
the cost of truckload deliveries to our largest wholesale customers was up approximately 20% year over year.
Other
Income (Expense). Other expense for the three months ended April 30, 2021 was $17,637, a decrease of $31,816 from $49,453 for
the three months ended April 31, 2020. The decrease in other expense was attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $32,886, a
decrease in our loss from our equity investments of $363 and a decrease in our interest income of $1,433, during the three months ended
April 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2020.
Income
Taxes . Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended April 30, 2021 totaled $129,086 compared to a provision of $154,767
for the three months ended April 30, 2020. The change was primarily attributable to the difference in the income for the quarter ended
April 30, 2021 versus the income in the quarter ended April 30, 2020, as well as a true up to the provision that was recorded in the
three months ended April 30, 2020.
Net
Income . We had net income of $357,044 or $0.06 per share basic and diluted, for the three months ended April 30, 2021 compared
to net income of $498,518, or $0.09 per share basic and diluted for the three months ended April 30, 2020. The decrease in net income
was due primarily to the reasons described above.
- 21 -
Six
Months Ended April 30, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended April 30, 2020 (restated)
Net
Sales. Net sales totaled $32,602,395 for the six months ended April 30, 2021, a decrease of $1,870,499, or 5.4%,
from $34,472,894 for the six months ended April 30, 2020. The decrease in net sales was due to multiple factors, including the
continued loss of sales of packed coffee to our customers who have not fully re-opened due to COVID-19 restrictions. During April 2021
we experienced a 50% decline, as compared to April 2020, in production at our largest operating facility in Colorado. This reduction
was due to supermarkets no longer building their inventories as they did in April 2020 during COVID-19 shutdowns. Further, we experienced
a loss of approximately $750,000 in revenue as we dropped Aldi as a customer due to unacceptably low net margins.
Cost
of Sales. Cost of sales for the six months ended April 30, 2021 was $24,353,356, or 74.7% of net sales, as compared to $26,851,714,
or 77.9% of net sales, for the six months April 30, 2020. 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 higher packaging costs due to increases in materials, most notably steel for our cans.
Gross
Profit. Gross profit for the six months ended April 30, 2021 amounted to $8,249,039 or 25.3% of net sales, as compared to $7,621,092
or 22.1% of net sales, for the six months ended April 30, 2020. The increase in gross profit percentage was attributable to increased
margins on our roasted and branded products partially due to the movement of lower cost green coffee inventory built up in previous quarters,
partially offset by higher packaging costs due to increases in materials, most notably steel for our cans.
Operating
Expenses. Total operating expenses decreased by $659,416 to $6,628,514 for the six months ended April 30, 2021 from $7,287,930
for the six months ended April 30, 2020. Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $638,875 and officers’ salaries
decreased by $20,541. Our efforts to control costs through the elimination of redundancy in our operations and the elimination of certain
unnecessary variable costs were the primary reasons for this decrease. These efforts were partially offset by the increase in our freight
costs as the cost of truckload deliveries to our largest wholesale customers was up approximately 20% year over year.
Other
Income (Expense). Other expense for the six months ended April 30, 2021 was $46,493, a decrease of $59,261 from $105,754 for
the six months ended April 30, 2020. The decrease in other expense was attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $61,952, partially
offset by an increase in our loss from our equity investments of $924 and a decrease in our interest income of $1,767, during the six
months ended April 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended April 30, 2020.
Income
Taxes . Our provision for income taxes for the six months ended April 30, 2021 totaled $510,329 compared to a provision of $89,351
for the six months ended April 30, 2020. The change was primarily attributable to the difference in the income for the six months ended
April 30, 2021 versus the income in the six months ended April 30, 2020.
Net
Income . We had net income of $1,034,355 or $0.18 per share basic and diluted, for the six months ended April 30, 2021 compared
to net loss of $101,330, or $0.02 per share basic and diluted for the six months ended April 30, 2020. The increase in net income was
due primarily to the reasons described above, as well as a true up to the provision that was recorded in the three months ended April
30, 2020.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of April 30, 2021, we had working capital of $21,447,364, which represented a $2,592,174 decrease from our working capital of $24,039,538
as of October 31, 2020, and total stockholders’ equity of $27,932,559 which increased by $1,413,893 from our total stockholders’
equity of $26,518,666 as of October 31, 2020. Our working capital decreased primarily due to decreases of $709,476 in accounts receivable,
$1,935,996 in inventories, $91,684 in prepaid and refundable income taxes, increases of $970,875 in accounts payable and accrued expenses,
increases of $255,611 in income taxes payable, increase of $16,641 in lease liabilities – current portion, partially offset by
increase of $653,017 in cash, $173,177 in prepaid expenses, $559,408 in due to broker.
As of April 30, 2021, the outstanding balance on our line of credit was $2,500 compared to $3,796,822 as of October 31, 2020.
On
April 25, 2017, we and Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO”)(collectively, 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 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 us, as guarantor, OPTCO and Sterling, dated March 10, 2015 (the “OPTCO Financing Agreement”),
amongst other things.
On
March 13, 2020, we reached an agreement for a new loan modification agreement and credit facility with Sterling. The terms of the new
agreement among other things: (i) provides for a new maturity date of March 31, 2022 and (ii) decreases the interest rate per annum to
LIBOR plus 1.75% (with such interest rate not to be lower than 3.50%).
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. We were in compliance with all covenants as of April 30, 2021 and
October 31, 2020.
Each
of the A&R Loan Facility and the A&R Loan Agreement is secured by all of our tangible and intangible assets. Other than as amended
and restated by the A&R Loan Agreement, the Company Financing Agreement and the OPTCO Financing Agreement remains in full force and
effect.
For
the six months ended April 30, 2021, our operating activities provided net cash of $5,047,290 as compared to the six months ended April
30, 2020 when operating activities provided net cash of $2,438,729. The increased cash flow from operations for the three months ended
April 30, 2021 was primarily due to our inventory usage during the quarter and our net income.
For
the six months ended April 30, 2021, our investing activities used net cash of $597,444 as compared to the six months ended April 30,
2020 when net cash used by investing activities was $132,967. The increase in our uses of cash in investing activities was due to our
increased purchases of machinery and equipment during the six months ended April 30, 2021.
For
the six months ended April 30, 2021, our financing activities used net cash of $3,796,829 compared to net cash used by financing activities
of $2,060,862 for the six months ended April 30, 2020. The change in cash flow from financing activities for the six months ended April
30, 2021 was due to our increased principal payments on our credit line.
We
expect to fund our operations, including paying our liabilities, funding capital expenditures and making required payments on our indebtedness,
through June 14, 2022 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
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (restated)
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 multiple material weaknesses
discussed below. 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 quarter ended April 30, 2021.
As previously disclosed in
Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, management has identified material weaknesses as
of that date. The identified material weaknesses related to the accounting for stock-based compensation awards and inventories at one
of our subsidiaries.
We further concluded, based upon our restatement, that our annual financial
statements during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 inaccurately accounted for certain intercompany eliminations in our consolidated
statements of operations. As a result, we determined that there was an overstatement of net sales and cost of sales in the consolidated
statement of operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 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.
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 weakness, we are initiating
controls and procedures in order to:
●
Reinforce
the importance of a strong control environment, to emphasize the technical requirements for controls that are designed, implemented
and operating effectively and to set the appropriate expectations on internal controls through establishing the related policies
and procedures; and
●
Review
the processes for documenting and alerting key personnel, including our board members, officers, auditors and outside accountants,
of non-reoccurring events related to stock-based compensation awards to ensure such events are timely and adequately recorded and
communicated to the appropriate parties.
●
We
have replaced and hired new employees in the accounting department at the subsidiary where the inventory analysis issue occurred
and have made upgrades to the computer systems at the subsidiary. Further, we hired a new director of finance at the subsidiary that
is responsible for overseeing inventory counts and we are enhancing controls in the inventory business process over (i) inventory
count procedures by requiring more frequent physical audits of our inventory, and (ii) review of inventory adjustments and approvals.
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 weaknesses as discussed above and in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2020, 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 April 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
