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.
Liquidity
The
Company’s line of credit will be due June 28, 2026 (see Note 6). The agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with
certain financial covenants computed on a quarterly and annual basis. As of July 31, 2025, the Company is in compliance with those financial
covenants. The Company has net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, of $ 591,898 and a net working capital surplus of $ 20,979,529 .
As a result, the Company does not believe that substantial doubt is raised regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern and the ability to meet its obligations as they become due within twelve months from the date the condensed consolidated financial
statements are issued.

Note
2 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policy
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 its annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year
ended October 31, 2024. 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 its 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, 2024 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 does 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, 2024 and notes thereto included in the Company’s
fiscal 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 31, 2025 (the
“2024 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 the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries, Organic Products Trading
Company, LLC (“OPTCO”), Sonofresco, LLC (“SONO”), Comfort Foods, Inc, and Second Empire, LLC (“Second Empire”).
All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and comply with SEC reporting requirements.
Significant
Accounting Policies
The
significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the Company’s
2024 10-K, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended July 31,
2025.
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 product line for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024:

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements – Adopted
The
Company follows the FASB Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic
326).” This guidance requires entities to use a current expected credit loss impairment model rather than incurred losses. The
Company considers factors such as credit quality, age of balances, historical experience and current and future economic conditions that
may affect the Company’s expectation of collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The standard became effective
for the Company on November 1, 2023. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.
In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting – Improving Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280).”
The standard is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant
expenses. The standard requires disclosure to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating
decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment’s
profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also requires all annual disclosures currently
required by ASC Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and requires retrospective
application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, however; it did result in enhanced disclosures.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted
In
October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements – Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s
Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.” This standard affects a wide variety of Topics in the Codification. The effective
date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation
S-K becomes effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” a final standard on improvements to
income tax disclosures, The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation
as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early
adoption permitted and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures.

3 – Business Combination
On
November 6, 2024, the Company (through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Second Empire) purchased the remaining assets of Empire Coffee Company
for $ 800,000 in a Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) Chapter 9 sale (the “Second Empire Acquisition”). Operations
of Second Empire will include roasting and packing for current Company’s customers as well as customers of Empire Coffee. The results
of Second Empire are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
The
Company has accounted for the Second Empire Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby
the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired identifiable net assets purchased in the Second Empire Acquisition based on assessments
of their respective fair values. The fair value estimates of the assets acquired are subject to subsequent adjustments as additional
information is obtained during the applicable measurement period. The assets purchased consisted of equipment, accounts receivable and
inventories. The Company has determined that no portion of the purchase price is allocated to intangible assets as there were no acquired
intangibles that are considered identifiable under ASC 805. Based on a fair value assessment, all value has been attributed to tangible
assets. Second Empire will operate as a 100 % wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The following tables summarize the fair values of
consideration transferred and the fair values of identified assets acquired at the date of acquisition:

The
acquired business contributed revenues of $ 3,238,704 and a loss of $ 694,130 to the Company for the period from November 6, 2024, to July
31, 2025. There were no acquisition costs incurred.
In
connection with this transaction, the Company entered into a 4
four-year lease with 21 Grace Church Street Realty LLC for
the existing property at 21 Grace Church Street, Port Chester, NY 10573 where Empire Coffee Company had its offices and production facility.

5 - 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 level
1 investments 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 impact earnings volatility in any particular
period. The Company records all open contract positions on the condensed 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 future contracts as trading securities and accordingly, realized and unrealized holding gains and
losses are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of cost of sales.
The
Company recorded realized and unrealized gains and losses respectively, on these contracts as follows:

Note
7 – 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 net operating loss carryforwards and 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, 2025 and October 31, 2024, 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 July 31, 2025 and October
31, 2024, 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, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia state tax
returns.
For
the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $ 17,584 and $ 259,249 , respectively. For the
nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $ 650,749 and $ 323,954 , respectively.
The Company recorded income tax expense for the 3 months ending July 31, 2025, principally due to the tax impact of the unrealized losses
from coffee futures and options contracts, which are recorded in cost of sales (see note 5).
On
July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes the permanent
extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and
the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions, including immediate expensing for domestic research expenditures.
Additionally, the OBBBA allows accelerated tax deductions for qualified property. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with
certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the OBBBA
on its consolidated financial statements.
Note
8 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The
Company presents “basic” and “diluted” earnings per common share pursuant to the provisions included in ASC Topic
260, “Earnings (loss) per Share,” and certain other financial accounting pronouncements. Basic earnings per common share
is 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 for the three-
and nine-months ending July 31, 2025, and 2024. The Company has 921,000 outstanding stock options which have not been included in the
calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are antidilutive.
Note

13 – Segment Information
ASC
Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about
operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise
for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker,
or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.
F- 12
The
Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is Andrew Gordon, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial
Officer, and Director. The Company has one reportable segment: coffee. The Company derives revenue primarily in North America and manages
the business activities on a consolidated basis.
The
coffee segment derives revenue from the sale of wholesale green coffee, private label coffee and branded coffee. Revenue for these product
lines is recognized upon shipment to the customer. The CODM assesses performance for the coffee segment and decides how to allocate resources
based on operating income (loss) that also is reported on statement of operations as consolidated income (loss) from operations. The
measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets.
When
evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews the following key
metrics:

Overview
We
are an integrated wholesale coffee roaster and dealer primarily 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.
1
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.
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.
On
November 6, 2024, Second Empire, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Secured Creditor Sale Agreement with Bridge
Business Credit, LLC (“Seller”). The sale was a Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) Chapter 9 sale to purchase equipment,
accounts receivable and inventory of Empire Coffee Company, Inc. (“Empire Coffee Company”).
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
There
have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025. 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 and Estimates” 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 notes thereto, each in
our 2024 10-K.

Three
Months Ended July 31, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended July 31, 2024
Net
Sales. Net sales totaled $23,910,514 for the three months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $5,097,352, or 27%, from $18,813,162
for the three months ended July 31, 2024. The increase in net sales was due to increased sales of our private label, Cafe Caribe, Cafe
Supremo brands, and green coffee beans to our wholesale and retail customers.
Cost
of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended July 31, 2025 was $20,997,777, or 87.8% of net sales, as compared to $14,887,098,
or 79.1% of net sales, for the three months ended July 31, 2024, an increase of $6,110,679. Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost
of green coffee and packaging materials. The increase in cost of sales was driven by higher tariffs on imported coffee as well as a net
trading loss of approximately $770,000 or 14 cents a share, related to coffee futures and options contracts, which are recorded in cost
of sales in accordance with our accounting policy for commodities held by broker (see Note 5). In addition, the increase reflects higher
net sales of our private label, branded products, and green wholesale coffee across both wholesale and retail channels.
Gross
Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended July 31, 2025 amounted to $2,912,737 or 12.2% of net sales, as compared to $3,926,064
or 20.9% of net sales, for the three months ended July 31, 2024. The decrease in gross profits on a percentage and dollar basis was attributable
to the factors listed above.
Operating
Expenses. Total operating expenses increased by $801,687 to $4,007,888 for the three months ended July 31, 2025 from $3,206,201
for the three months ended July 31, 2024. The increase in selling and administrative expenses was primarily due to the acquisition of
Empire Coffee Company.
Other
Income (Expense). Other expense for the three months ended July 31, 2025 was $92,683, a decrease of $258,865 from other income
of $166,182 for the three months ended July 31, 2024. The change was mainly attributable to a decrease in gain on extinguishment of lease
of $210,567.
Income
Taxes. Our expense for income taxes for the three months ended July 31, 2025 was $17,584 compared to our expense of $259,249
for the three months ended July 31, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to the difference in the income for the quarter ended
July 31, 2024, versus the loss in the quarter ended July 31, 2025.
Net
Income (Loss). We had net loss of $1,205,413, or ($0.21) per share basic and diluted, for the three months ended July 31, 2025,
compared to a net income of $626,796, or $0.11 per share basic and diluted, for the three months ended July 31, 2024. The decrease in
profitability was primarily due to higher cost of sales, which included the impact of tariffs on imported coffee and a net trading loss
on coffee-related futures and options contracts (see Note 5), as well as increased operating expenses.
3
Nine
Months Ended July 31, 2025, Compared to the Nine Months Ended July 31, 2024
Net
Sales. Net sales totaled $68,535,860 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $11,186,383, or 20%, from $57,349,477
for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The increase in net sales compared to the prior period was primarily attributable to higher
sales of our private-label brands, Café Caribe and Café Supremo, as well as increased sales of green coffee beans to both
wholesale and retail customers.
Cost
of Sales. Cost of sales for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, was $55,253,979, or 80.6% of net sales, as compared to $46,239,134,
or 80.6% of net sales, for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. 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 increase of $9,014,845 was primarily attributable to higher
sales volumes of our private label and branded products, as well as the impact of tariffs on imported coffee. In addition, cost of sales
reflects the effect of our futures and options trading activity, which resulted in a net gain of approximately $687,000 for the nine-month
period ended July 31, 2025, that was recognized in cost of sales in accordance with our accounting policy for commodities held by broker
(see Note 5).
Gross
Profit. Gross profit for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 amounted to $13,281,881 or 19.4% of net sales, as compared to $11,110,343
or 19.4% of net sales, for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to higher sales
volumes of our private-label and branded products, as well as green coffee beans, partially offset by the impact of tariffs on imported
coffee. Gross profit also reflects the effect of our coffee futures and options trading activity, which resulted in a net gain of approximately
$687,000 for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2025 that was recognized in cost of sales (see Note 5).
Operating
Expenses. Total operating expenses increased by $2,057,167 to $11,897,386 for the nine months ended July 31, 2025, from $9,840,219
for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The year-over-year increase reflects the impact of the Second Empire Acquisition, which added
approximately $2.2 million to operating expenses during the nine-month period.
Other
Income (Expense). Other expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 was $141,848, a decrease of $151,657 from other income
of $9,809 for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in gain on extinguishment of lease
of $210,538 and offset by decrease in our interest expense of $93,522, during the nine months ended July 31, 2024.
Income
Taxes. Our expense for income taxes for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 totaled $650,749 compared to an expense of $323,954
for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to the difference in the income for the nine months ended
July 31, 2025 versus the income in the nine months ended July 31, 2024.
Net
(Loss) Income. We had net income of $591,898 or $0.10 per share basic and diluted, for the nine months ended July 31, 2025 compared
to net income of $955,979, or $0.17 per share basic and diluted for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The decrease in net income was
primarily due to higher operating expenses associated with the Second Empire Acquisition, the impact of tariffs on imported coffee, and
unrealized trading losses during the third quarter (see Note 5).
Liquidity,
Capital Resources and Going Concern
As
of July 31, 2025, we had working capital of $20,979,529, a decrease of $547,454 compared to $21,526,983 as of October 31, 2024. The decrease
in working capital was primarily attributable to a $2,339,316 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a $6,250,000 increase
in borrowings under our line of credit, and a $1,115,244 increase in due to broker. The decrease was partially offset by a $5,979,428
increase in inventory, a $2,978,120 increase in due from broker, and a $717,207 increase in accounts receivable.

On
June 27, 2024, the Borrowers entered into the Tenth Loan Modification Agreement with Webster which amended the A&R Loan Agreement
to, among other things: (i) provide for a new loan maturity date of June 29, 2025, (ii) provide that the applicable margin requirement
for any revolving loan outstanding under the A&R Loan Agreement to 2.25%, (iii) provide that the maximum facility amount shall be
$10,000,000 and (iv) to adjust certain definitions and terms related to the borrowing base and leverage ratios applicable to the A&R
Loan Agreement.
On
April 17, 2025, the Borrowers entered into the Eleventh Loan Modification Agreement with Webster which (i) amended the A&R Loan Agreement
to provide for a new loan maturity date of June 28, 2026 and (ii) provided limited consent for the Company to declare dividends to shareholders
for its fiscal year ending October 31, 2025.
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 line of credit was $6,250,000 and
$0 as of July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively.
For
the nine months ended July 31, 2025, operating activities used cash of $5,396,716, compared to cash provided by operating activities
of $5,209,235 for the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily attributable to an increase
in inventory between October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2025. The increase in inventory was primarily due to higher purchasing activity to
support our anticipated sales growth. Non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization, unrealized gains and losses on commodities,
amortization of right-of-use assets, and deferred income taxes, resulted in cash used of $1,102,564 in the nine months ended July 31,
2025, compared to cash used of $159,890 in the prior-year period.
For
the nine months ended July 31, 2025, investing activities used cash of $1,254,535, compared to cash provided of $2,879,320 in the nine
months ended July 31, 2024. The year-over-year change primarily reflects proceeds of $3,150,000 from the sale of an investment in the
prior-year period, which did not recur in fiscal 2025.
For
the nine months ended July 31, 2025, financing activities provided net cash of $6,250,000, compared to net cash used of $7,724,374 in
the nine months ended July 31, 2024. The change was primarily due to increased borrowings under our line of credit in the current year.
We
expect to fund our operations, including working capital needs, capital expenditures, and required debt service, for at least the next
twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, through a combination of cash provided by operating
activities and availability under 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.

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 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses
in our internal control over financial reporting.
Material
Weakness Over Financial Reporting
We
determined that our controls were inadequate to prevent and detect misstatements of quantities of inventory at one of our subsidiaries.
Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.
We
determined that there were inappropriate system access controls over the 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. Accordingly,
management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.
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. Accordingly, management has determined that this was a control
deficiency that constituted a material weakness.
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 and Brew following the Company relocation or vacating of certain premises
used in the operations of that business unit. Accordingly, management has determined that this is a control deficiency that constituted
a material weakness.
We
concluded that we lacked adequate controls with respect to the preparation and review of journal entries and account reconciliations
during the year-end financial statement closing process. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted
a material weakness.
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.
We
concluded that we lacked adequate controls with respect to recording year end accruals for vendor liabilities and properly calculating
required loan covenants. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.
Notwithstanding
such material weaknesses, we believe the financial information presented herein is materially correct and fairly presents the financial
position and operating results for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025 in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial
information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
6
Remediation
Plan for the Material Weaknesses
As
previously disclosed in Item 9A of our 2024 10-K, 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 have hired third-party consultants to assist with financial reporting
and are initiating controls and procedures in order to:
●
educate
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;
●
develop
and maintain documentation to promote knowledge transfer upon personnel and function changes;
●
develop
enhanced controls and reviews related to our financial reporting systems;
●
perform
an in-depth analysis of who should have access to perform key functions within our financial reporting system that impact financial
reporting and redesign aspects of the system to better allow the access rights to be implemented;
●
perform
a cross-reference analysis on a quarterly basis; and
●
implement
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.
Management
will seek to remediate such deficiencies over the coming quarters.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other
than the changes intended to remediate the material weaknesses as discussed above, 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, 2025 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
