1 - Business Activities
Coffee
Holding Co., Inc. (the “Company”) conducts wholesale coffee operations, including manufacturing, roasting, packaging, marketing
and distributing roasted and blended coffees for private labeled accounts and its own brands, and it sells green coffee. The Company
also manufactures and sells coffee roasters. The Company’s core product, coffee, can be summarized and divided into three product
categories (“product lines”) as follows:
Wholesale
Green Coffee: unroasted raw beans imported from around the world and sold to large and small roasters and coffee shop operators;
Private
Label Coffee: coffee roasted, blended, packaged and sold under the specifications and names of others, including supermarkets
that want to have their own brand name on coffee to compete with national brands; and,
Branded
Coffee: coffee roasted and blended to the Company’s own specifications and packaged and sold under the Company’s
eight proprietary and licensed brand names in different segments of the market.
The
Company’s private label and branded coffee sales are primarily to customers that are located throughout the United States with
limited sales in Canada and certain countries in Asia. Such customers include supermarkets, wholesalers, and individually-owned and multi-unit
retailers. The Company’s unprocessed green coffee, which includes over 90 specialty coffee offerings, is sold primarily to specialty
gourmet roasters and to coffee shop operators in the United States with limited sales in Australia, Canada, England and China.
The
Company’s wholesale green, private label, and branded coffee product categories generate revenues and cost of sales individually
but incur selling, general and administrative expenses in the aggregate. There are no individual product managers and discrete financial
information is not available for any of the product lines. The Company’s product portfolio is used in one business and it operates
and competes in one business activity and economic environment. In addition, the three product lines share customers, manufacturing resources,
sales channels, and marketing support. Thus, the Company considers the three product lines to be one single reporting segment.
Going
Concern and 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 April 30, 2025, the Company is in compliance with those financial
covenants. The Company has net income for the six months ended April 30, 2025 of $ 1,797,311 and a net working capital surplus of $ 25,831,578 .
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 the 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 six months ended April 30,
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.

following table presents revenues by product line for the six and three months ended April 30, 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,

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.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic
220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income
Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU
2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures
about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU
2025-01, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these standards will have on it financial
statements.
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 provisional 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. In addition, the Company determined that the acquired equipment
had no value as it was originally purchased in the mid-1990s and has been fully depreciated for a few years. 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 $ 1,740,173 and a loss of $ 414,938 to the Company for the period from November 6, 2024, to April
30, 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

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:

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 April 30, 2025 and October 31, 2024, the Company did no t have any unrecognized tax benefits or open tax positions. The Company’s

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 six-months ending April 30, 2025, and 2024. The Company has 921,000 options outstanding which have not been included
in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

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.
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:

In
some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,”
“predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “future,”
“intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate” and similar expressions (or the negative of such
expressions). Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this quarterly report and in any other public statements we make may turn
out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently,
no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. In addition, we undertake no responsibility to update any forward-looking statement to
reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this quarterly report.
Overview
We
are an integrated wholesale coffee roaster and dealer 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 six months ended April 30, 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 April 30, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 30, 2024
Net
Sales. Net sales totaled $23,320,061 for the three months ended April 30, 2025, an increase of $4,324,148, or 23%, from $18,995,913
for the three months ended April 30, 2024. The increase in net sales was due to increased sales of our private label and Cafe Caribe
and Cafe Supremo products brands to our wholesale and retail customers.
Cost
of Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended April 30, 2025 was $18,901,189, or 81.1% of net sales, as compared to $15,291,933,
or 80.5% of net sales, for the three months ended April 30, 2024, an increase of $3,609,256. Cost of sales consists primarily of the
cost of green coffee and packaging materials. The increase in cost of sales relates to the increase in net sales of our private label
and branded products to both wholesale and retail customers.
Gross
Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended April 30, 2025 amounted to $4,418,872 or 18.9% of net sales, as compared to $3,703,980
or 19.5% of net sales, for the three months ended April 30, 2024. The increase in gross profits on a percentage and dollar basis was
attributable to the factors listed above.
Operating
Expenses. Total operating expenses decreased by $240,373 to $3,530,257 for the three months ended April 30, 2025 from $3,770,630
for the three months ended April 30, 2024. Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $342,595 and officers’ salaries increased
by $102,222. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses was due to lower payroll costs and professional fees.
Other
Income (Expense). Other income for the three months ended April 30, 2025 was $17,487, a decrease of $15,336 from other income
of $32,823 for the three months ended April 30, 2024. The change was attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $55,701.
Income
Taxes. Our expense for income taxes for the three months ended April 30, 2025 totaled $227,073 compared to our benefit of $77,632
for the three months ended April 30, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to the difference in the income for the quarter ended
April 30, 2025, versus the loss in the quarter ended April 30, 2024.
Net
Income (Loss). We had net income of $644,055, or $0.11 per share basic and diluted, for the three months ended April 30, 2025,
compared to a net loss of $21,841, or $0.00 per share basic and diluted, for the three months ended April 30, 2024.
Six
Months Ended April 30, 2025, Compared to the Six Months Ended April 30, 2024
Net
Sales. Net sales totaled $44,625,346 for the six months ended April 30, 2025, an increase of $6,089,031, or 16%, from $38,536,315
for the six months ended April 30, 2024. The increase in net sales was due to increased sales of our private label and Cafe Caribe and
Cafe Supremo products brands to our wholesale and retail customers.
Cost
of Sales. Cost of sales for the six months ended April 30, 2025 was $34,474,548, or 77.3% of net sales, as compared to $31,352,036,
or 81.4% of net sales, for the six months ended April 30, 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. This increase in gross margin was due to favorable green coffee
prices that were initiated during the six months ended April 30, 2025, for our roasted coffee customers and the cost of goods sold was
favorably impacted by improved inventory management, along with increased prices to both our wholesale and retail customers, reflecting
higher market conditions. Additionally, net sales increased due to higher sales of our private label and branded products to both wholesale
and retail customers.
Gross
Profit. Gross profit for the six months ended April 30, 2025 amounted to $10,150,798 or 22.8% of net sales, as compared to $7,184,279
or 18.6% of net sales, for the six months ended April 30, 2024. The increase in gross profits on a percentage basis was attributable
to the factors listed above.
Operating
Expenses. Total operating expenses increased by $1,037,134 to $7,671,152 for the six months ended April 30, 2025 from $6,634,018
for the six months ended April 30, 2024. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $896,956 and officers’ salaries increased
by $140,178. Operating expenses increased for the six months ended April 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended April 30, 2024 primarily
due to the acquisition of Second Empire adding approximately $1.3 to operating expenses for the six months ended.
Other
Income (Expense). Other expense for the six months ended April 30, 2025 was $49,170, a decrease of $107,203 from $156,373 for
the six months ended April 30, 2024. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in interest income of $34,390 and a decrease in our
interest expense of $141,564, during the six months ended April 30, 2024.
Income
Taxes. Our expense for income taxes for the six months ended April 30, 2025 totaled $633,165 compared to an expense of $64,705
for the six months ended April 30, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to the difference in the income for the six months ended
April 30, 2025 versus the income in the six months ended April 30, 2024.
Net
(Loss) Income. We had net income of $1,797,311 or $0.31 per share basic and diluted, for the six months ended April 30, 2025
compared to net income of $329,183, or $0.06 per share basic and diluted for the six months ended April 30, 2024. The increase in net
income was due primarily to the reasons described above.
Liquidity,
Capital Resources and Going Concern
As
of April 30, 2025, we had working capital of $25,831,578, which represented a $965,841 increase from our working capital of $21,526,983
as of October 31, 2024. Our working capital increased primarily due to the $1,509,920 increase in inventory, a $1,221,965 increase in
due from broker, and a $779,055 increase in accounts receivable offset by a $3,000,000 increase on the line of credit.
On
April 25, 2017, we and one of our subsidiaries, Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO” and together with us, collectively
referred to herein as the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “A&R
Loan Agreement”) and Amended and Restated Loan Facility (the “A&R Loan Facility”) with Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”),
which was later acquired by Webster Financial Corp. (“Webster”), which consolidated (i) the financing agreement between us
and Sterling, dated February 17, 2009, as modified, and (ii) the financing agreement between us, as guarantor, OPTCO and Sterling, dated
March 10, 2015, amongst other things.
On
March 17, 2022, we reached an agreement for a new loan modification agreement and credit facility which extended the maturity date to
June 29, 2022. The facility was then approved for a two-year extension. All other terms of the A&R Loan Agreement and A&R Loan
Facility remained the same.
On
June 28, 2022, we reached an agreement for a new loan modification agreement and credit facility with Webster. The terms of the new agreement,
among other things: (i) provided for a new maturity date of June 30, 2024, and (ii) changed the interest rate per annum to SOFR plus
1.75% (with such interest rate not to be lower than 3.50%). All other terms of the A&R Loan Agreement and A&R Loan Facility remained
the same.
3
On
March 15, 2023, the A&R Loan Agreement was also modified to, among other things: (i) provide for a requirement for subordination
agreements, if necessary, (ii) change the terms of transactions with affiliates from a dollar limitation to allowable in the ordinary
course of business, and (iii) establish a new covenant for a fixed charge coverage ratio. As further explained in Note 6 to the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to maintain certain financial covenants with respect to our line of credit
agreement. We were not in compliance with these requirements as of October 31, 2023. We have since received a waiver from the lender
on May 24, 2024 and are in compliance with all requirements.
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 $3,000,000 and
$0 as of April 30, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively.
For
the six months ended April 30, 2025, our operating activities used cash of $1,555,954 as compared to the six months ended April 30, 2024
when operating activities provided cash of $3,390,694. The decrease in cash flow from operations was primarily due to the increase in
inventory from October 31, 2024 to April 30, 2025. Non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization, unrealized gain on commodities,
amortization of right-of-use assets, and deferred income taxes, resulted in cash used of $603,581 for the six months ended April 30,
2025 compared to non-cash charges provided of $24,165 for the six months ended April 30, 2024.
For
the six months ended April 30, 2025, our investing activities used cash of $992,907 as compared to the six months ended April 30, 2024
when net cash provided in investing activities was $2,925,927. The decrease in our cash provided by investing activities was due to the
proceeds from the sale of an investment of $3,150,000 during the three months ended April 30, 2024.
For
the six months ended April 30, 2025, our financing activities provided net cash of $3,000,000 compared to net cash used in financing
activities of $6,622,909 for the six months ended April 30, 2024. The change in cash flow from financing activities for the six months
ended April 30, 2025 was primarily due to our credit line activity.
We
expect to fund our operations, including paying our liabilities, funding capital expenditures and making required payments on our indebtedness,
through at least the next twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, with cash provided
by operating activities and the use of our credit facility. In addition, an increase in eligible accounts receivable and inventory would
permit us to make additional borrowings under our line of credit.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources
that is material to investors.

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 six months ended April 30, 2025 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.
5
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 April 30, 2025 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

1A. RISK FACTORS
Our
operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk
Factors” in our 2024 10-K. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since the 2024 10-K.
Changes
in U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs, may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of
operations.
The
Trump Administration implemented new tariffs on goods imported into the U.S., including coffee, which has introduced uncertainty to our
business and will increase the cost of our products sourced outside of the U.S. The extent and duration of increased tariffs and the
resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business are uncertain and depend on various factors, such as negotiations
between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, and
availability and cost of alternative sources of supply.
As
a result of these dynamics, we may find it difficult to predict the impact on our business of these and future changes to the trading
relationships between the U.S. and other countries or the impact on our business of new laws or regulations adopted by the U.S. or other
countries.
