PART I Item 1. Business. Our History MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc. (formerly Mascot Properties, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2009. Mascot Properties, Inc.’s (“Mascot”) activities since its inception consisted of trying to locate real estate properties to manage, primarily related to student housing, and services which included general property management, maintenance and activities coordination for residents. Mascot did not have any significant development of such business and did not derive any revenue. Due to the lack of results in its attempt to implement its original business plan, management determined it was in the best interests of the shareholders to look for other potential business opportunities. On February 22, 2010, MamaMancini’s LLC was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of New Jersey in order to commercialize our initial products. On March 5, 2012, the members of MamaMancini’s, LLC, holders of 4,700 units (the “Units”) of MamaMancini’s LLC, exchanged the Units for 15,000,000 shares of common stock and those certain options to purchase an additional 223,404 shares of MamaMancini’s Inc. (the “Exchange”). Upon consummation of the Exchange, MamaMancini’s LLC ceased to exist and all further business has been and continues to be conducted by MamaMancini’s Inc. On January 24, 2013, Mascot, Mascot Properties Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), MamaMancini’s Inc., a privately-held Delaware Corporation headquartered in New Jersey (“Mama’s”) and David Dreslin, an individual (the “Majority Shareholder”), entered into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into Mama’s, with Mama’s surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The transaction (the “Closing”) took place on January 24, 2013 (the “Closing Date”). Mascot acquired, through a reverse triangular merger, all of the outstanding capital stock of Mama’s in exchange for issuing Mama’s shareholders (the “Mama’s Shareholders”), pro-rata, a total of 20,054,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Merger, the Mama’s Shareholders became the majority shareholders of Mascot. Immediately following the Closing of the Agreement, Mascot changed its business plan to that of Mama’s. On March 8, 2013, Mascot received notice from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) that its application to change its name and symbol had been approved and effective Monday, March 11, 2013, Mascot began trading under its new name, “MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc.” (“MamaMancini’s” or the “Company”) and under its new symbol, “MMMB”. 3 On November 1, 2017, MamaMancini’s, Joseph Epstein Food Enterprises, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“JEFE”), and MMMB Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MamaMancini’s (“Merger Sub”), completed a merger transaction whereby JEFE merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of MamaMancini’s. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement and in connection with the merger, the Company acquired all assets of JEFE. The consideration for the transaction was (a) the extinguishment of the Inter-Company Loan between the parties, (b) the assumption by the Company of all JEFE accounts payable and accrued expenses (c) assumption by the Company of certain third-party loans to JEFE totaling approximately $782,000 and (d) indemnification of Carl Wolf with respect to his collateralization of a bank loan to JEFE in the amount of approximately $250,000. As a result of the transaction, (i) the Company became the sole shareholder of JEFE, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company . No cash or stock was exchanged in connection with the transaction. On December 23, 2021, the Company announced the signing of definitive agreements for two acquisitions – T&L Creative Salads, Inc. (“T&L”) and Olive Branch, LLC (“OB”), which are related gourmet food manufacturers based in New York. The Closing of these transactions occurred and the transactions were completed on December 29, 2021. The Company acquired T&L and OB for a combined purchase price of $14.0 million, including $11 million in cash at closing and $3 million in a promissory note. The promissory note requires annual principal payments of $750,000 payable on each anniversary of the closing, together with accrued interest at a rate of three and one-half (3.5%) per annum. The maker of the Note is T&L Acquisition Corp, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and it is guaranteed by the Company. The maker has a right of set-off against the balance due for any matters which are the subject of an indemnification under the transaction agreements. The cash payment was funded through cash on hand and a $7.5 million acquisition loan from M&T Bank (see below). Anthony Morello, Jr. will remain as CEO of T&L Acquisition Corp. On December 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Multiple Disbursement Term Loan (“Loan”) with M&T Bank for the original principal amount of $7,500,000 payable in monthly installments over a 60-month amortization period. The Maturity Date of the Loan is January 17, 2027. Interest is payable the unpaid Principal Amount of the Loan at a variable rate per annum based on the Company’s Senior Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank) established with respect to the Borrower as of the date of any advance under the Loan as follows: if the Senior Funded Debt/EBITDA ratio is: (i) greater than 2.00 but less than or equal to 2.50, 4.12 percentage point(s) above one-day (i.e., overnight) SOFR (as defined); (ii) greater than 1.50 but less than or equal to 2.00, 3.62 percentage points above one-day SOFR; or (iii) 1.50 or less, 3.12 percentage points above one-day SOFR. In all events set forth at subsections (i) through (iii) in the preceding sentence, if SOFR shall at any time be less than 0.25%, one-day SOFR shall be deemed to be 0.25% and the foregoing margins shall be applied to the SOFR Index Floor. All of the proceeds of the Loan were utilized to fund the acquisition of T&L and OB. Our Company MamaMancini’s roots go back to our founder Dan Dougherty, whose grandmother Anna “Mama” Mancini emigrated from Bari, Italy to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn in 1921. Our products were developed using her old-world Italian recipes that were handed down to her grandson, Dan Dougherty. Today we market a line of all-natural specialty prepared, frozen and refrigerated foods for sale in retailers around the country. Our primary products include beef and turkey meatballs, meat loaf, chicken, sausage-related products and pasta entrees, all with slow cooked Italian Sauce. Our products are all natural, contain a minimum number of ingredients and are generally derived from the original recipes of Anna “Mama” Mancini. Our products appeal to health-conscious consumers who seek to avoid artificial flavors, synthetic colors and preservatives that are used in many conventional packaged foods. The United States Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”) defines all natural as a product that contains no artificial ingredients, coloring ingredients or chemical preservatives and is minimally processed. The Company’s products were submitted to the USDA and approved as all natural. The Food and Safety and Inspection Service (“FSIS”) Food Standards and Labeling Policy Book (2003) requires meat and poultry labels to include a brief statement directly beneath or beside the “natural” Label claim that “explains what is meant by the term natural i.e., that the product is a natural food because it contains no artificial ingredients and is only minimally processed”. The term “natural” may be used on a meat label or poultry label if the product does not contain any artificial flavor or flavoring, coloring ingredient, chemical preservative, or any other artificial or synthetic ingredient. Additionally, the term “all natural” can be used if the FSIS approves your product and label claims. The Company’s product and label claims have been approved by the FSIS to contain the all-natural label. Additionally, the Company has recently commenced marketing of certain “meatless” versions of its product line under a Trademark Licensing Agreement with Beyond Meat, Inc. Our products are principally sold to supermarkets and mass-market retailers. We currently have 29 different product offerings which are packaged in different sized retail and bulk packages. Our products are principally sold in multiple sections of the supermarket, including hot bars, salad bars, prepared foods (meals), sandwich, as well as cold deli and foods-to-go sections. Our products are also sold in the frozen food and fresh meat sections. We sell directly to both food retailers and food distributors. Finally, we also sell our products on QVC through live on-air offerings, auto ship programs and for everyday purchases on their web site. QVC is the world’s largest direct to consumer marketer. On December 29, 2021 MamaMancini’s made two acquisitions which expand the company’s core product lines, and access to specific markets. T &L Creative Salads, Inc. (“T&L”) and Olive Branch, LLC, are related premier gourmet food manufacturers based in New York. T&L offers a full line of foods for retail food chains and club stores, delis, bagel stores, caterers and provision distributors. T&L uses high-quality meats, seafood and vegetables, prepared to meet the standards set forth by the USDA and the FDA. T&L sales are spearheaded by a line of chicken products, including grilled and breaded chicken breasts, chicken strips as well as a kosher salad line. T&L’s SQF level 2 state-of-the-art USDA facility in Farmingdale, New York has positioned it to expand its operations nationally into MamaMancini’s network of retailers and Club Stores. T&L actively sells its salads and prepared products to over 250 delis, bagel shops, smaller retail accounts and food distributors in the New York metropolitan area, representing over 35% of T&L’s current sales volume. Olive Branch started operations six years ago as a separate company to concentrate on selling olives, olive mixes, and savory products to a limited number of large retail customers, primarily in pre-packaged containers. Olive Branch products are manufactured at the same facility as T&L in Farmingdale, NY. Industry Overview Our products are considered specialty prepared foods, in that they are all natural, taste great, are authentic and are made with high quality ingredients. The market for specialty and prepared foods spans several sections of the supermarket, including frozen, deli- prepared foods, and the specialty meat segment of the meat department. 4 Our Strengths We believe that the following strengths differentiate our products and our brand: ● Authentic recipes and great taste. Our MamaMancini’s products are founded upon Anna “Mama” Mancini’s old-world Italian recipes. We believe the authenticity of our products has enabled us to build and maintain loyalty and trust among our current customers and will help us attract new customers. Additionally, we continuously receive positive customer testimonials regarding the great taste and quality of our products. ● Healthy and convenient. Our products are made only from high quality natural ingredients, including domestic inspected beef, whole Italian tomatoes, genuine imported Pecorino Romano, real eggs, natural breadcrumbs, olive oil and other herbs and spices. Our products are also simple to prepare. Virtually every product we offer is ready-to-serve within 12 minutes, thereby providing quick and easy meal solutions for our customers. By including the sauce and utilizing a tray with our packaging, our meatballs can be prepared quickly and easily. ● Great value. We strive to provide our customers with a great tasting product using all-natural ingredients at an affordable price. Typical retail prices for 16 oz. packages ranges from $4.99 to $7.99, and $5.99 to $9.99 for bulk products sold in delis or hot bars. We believe the sizes of our product offerings represent a great value for the price. ● New products and innovation . Since our inception, we have continued to introduce new and innovative products. While we pride on ourselves on our traditional beef and turkey meatballs and meat loaf, we have continuously made efforts to grow and diversify our line of products while maintaining our high standards for all natural, healthy ingredients and great taste. FY22 introductions of Meal-For-One ready to eat home meals and our Meatballs-in-a-Cup snack are examples of continued product innovation. Our new lines of chicken cutlets, breaded chicken products and gourmet pasta salads and savory olive products will be a natural extension to our national customers and club stores. ● Key Market Concentration. Through the acquisition of T&L Creative Salads, MamaMancini’s is deeply established in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut tristate metro market with strong new distribution to deli’s, independent end retailers, bagel shops and provision distributors. MamaMancini’s products will fit well into the needs of this market extending our brand. Customers/Management ● Strong consumer loyalty. Many of our consumers are loyal and enthusiastic brand advocates. Our consumers trust us to deliver great-tasting products made with all-natural ingredients. Consumers have actively communicated with us through our website and/or social media channels. We believe that this consumer interaction has generated interest in our products and has inspired enthusiasm for our brand. We also believe that enthusiasm for our products has led and will continue to lead to repeat purchases and new consumers trying our products. ● Experienced leadership. We have a proven and experienced senior management team. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Carl Wolf, has been with us since inception and has over 35 years of experience in the management and operations of food companies. Mr. Wolf was the founder, majority shareholder, Chairman of the Board, and CEO of Alpine Lace Brands, Inc., a public company engaged in the development, marketing and distribution of cheese, deli meats and other specialty food products, which was sold to Land O’Lakes, Inc. In addition, the other members of our board of directors also have significant experience in the food industry. Our Growth Strategy We are actively executing a strategy to build our brand’s reputation, grow sales and improve our product and operating margins by pursuing the following growth initiatives: ● Increase product placements in the perimeter within retail locations . We strive for product placements in the perishable departments of retail locations. We believe adding shelf placements within the supermarkets that carry our products will increase customer awareness, leading to more consumers purchasing our products and expanding our market share. ● Increase Sales in “Fresh” Section . Increase sales in the “Fresh” section (in the perimeter of the retainer), where there is significant sales growth and higher margins, over products in the “Frozen” section which are showing zero to negative growth. 5 ● Increase retail locations . We intend to increase sales by expanding the number of retail stores that sell our products in the mainstream grocery and mass merchandiser channels. ● Increase Overall Sales . We have an experienced sales staff and now employ one full time Vice President of Sales as well as our Co-Founder Dan Dougherty, Carl Wolf, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and Matthew Brown, our President, each of whom is involved with selling to, and managing sales with, major supermarket chains. In addition, the Company has contracted with an independent consultant to manage sales opportunities in the food service area as well as an independent person to solicit sales in colleges and universities and independent delicatessens. ● Grow through Acquisition. We will continue to look for opportunities to acquire companies with complementary quality products which can enhance our product line and customer diversification and be immediately accretive to earnings. ● Expand food brokerage network . We currently work with retail food brokers nationwide and intend to add additional food brokers to increase our geographical coverage in the United States to approximately 90%. ● Enhance awareness through marketing . We have increased our social media activity with Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and YouTube. We also engage with consumers through newsletter mailings, blogs, and special projects, including a bank of recipe videos and contests and giveaways. Targeted consumer merchandising activity, including virtual couponing, on-pack couponing, mail-in rebates, product demonstrations, and co-op retail advertising will continue into the future in order to increase sales and generate new customers. ● Adding new products . Our market research and consumer testing enable us to identify attractive new product opportunities. We intend to continue to introduce new products in both existing and new product lines that appeal to a wide range of consumers. ● Maintain a Strong Relationship with QVC . The Company currently offers various lines through QVC and intends to increase its product line offerings offered through QVC. ● Increase Media Exposure . Increase the visibility of Dan Dougherty (Mancini) in the media as a product spokesman. ● “Club Stores”. The Company is aggressively pursuing sales to “Club Stores”. ● The Company is actively pursuing sales to Canada through a designated agent who is handling all necessary compliance issues. ● Selected acquisitions of complementary companies in the specialty food industry. Pricing Our pricing strategy focuses on being competitively priced with other premium brands. Since our products are positioned in the authentic premium prepared food category, we maintain prices competitive with those of similar products and prices slightly higher than those in the commodity prepared foods section. This pricing strategy also provides greater long-term flexibility as we grow our product line through the growth curve of our products. Current typical retail prices for 16 oz. packages range from $5.99 to $8.99, and $6.99 to $10.99 per pound for prepared food products sold to delis or hot bars. Increases in raw material costs, among other factors, may lead us to consider price increases in the future. Suppliers/Manufacturers As of January 31, 2022, approximately 90% of our products are internally produced by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Joseph Epstein Food Enterprises, Inc. (“JEFE”), T&L Creative Salads, Inc. (“T&L”) and Olive Branch, LLC (“OB”). Approximately 10% are manufactured on an outsourced basis. None of our raw materials or ingredients are directly grown or produced by us. From time-to-time we negotiate with other manufacturers to supplement the Company’s manufacturing capability. We currently purchase modest quantities from other manufacturers. All of the raw materials and ingredients in our products are readily available and are readily ascertainable by our suppliers. We have not experienced any material shortages of ingredients or other products necessary to our operations and do not anticipate such shortages in the foreseeable future. 6 Sales/Brokers Our products are sold primarily through a commission broker network. We sell to large retail chains who direct our products to their own warehouses or to large food distributors. The Company increased its sales management efforts with the result that the Company is now actively soliciting business with almost every major retail supermarket chain in the country. MamaMancini’s products are currently sold nationwide, with its greatest concentration in the Northeast and Southeast. Marketing The majority of our marketing activity has been generated through promotional discounts, consumer trial, consumer product tastings and demonstrations, in-store merchandising and signage, couponing, word of mouth, consumer public relations, social media, special merchandising events with retailers and consumer advertising. Based on the Company’s metrics for determining brand awareness, which includes market studies and analysis of consumer recognition of the MamaMancini’s brand, the Company believes that brand awareness for MamaMancini’s has grown in the past 12 months. Competition The gourmet and specialty pre-packaged and frozen food industry has many large competitors specializing in various types of cuisine from all over the world. Our product lines are currently concentrated on Italian specialty foods. While it is our contention that our competition is much more limited than the entire frozen and pre-packaged food industry based on our products’ niche market, there can be no assurances that we do not compete with the entire frozen and pre-packaged food industry. We believe our principal competitors include Quaker Maid, Hormel, Rosina Company, Inc., Casa Di Bertacchi, Inc., Farm Rich, Inc., Mama Lucia, Buona Vita, Inc., Taylor Farms, Kings Command, DeLallo Foods, and Gourmet Boutique. Intellectual Property Our current intellectual property consists of trade secret recipes and cooking processes for our products and four trademarks for “MamaMancini’s”, “Mac N’ Mamas”, “Sunday Dinner”, “The Original Meatball in a Cup”, “The Meatball Lovers Meatball”, “T&L Creative Salads” and “Olive Branch Savory Products”. The recipes and use of the trademarks have been assigned in perpetuity to the Company. We rely on a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We will also use technical measures to protect our proprietary rights. 7 Royalty Agreement In accordance with a Development and License Agreement (the “Development and License Agreement”) entered into on January 1, 2009 with Dan Dougherty relating to the use of his grandmother’s recipes for the products to be created by MamaMancini’s, Mr. Dougherty granted us a 50-year exclusive license (subject to certain minimum payments being made), with a 25-year extension option, to use and commercialize the licensed items. Under the terms of the Development and License Agreement, Mr. Dougherty shall develop a line of beef meatballs with sauce, turkey meatballs with sauce and other similar meats and sauces for commercial manufacture, distribution and sale (each a “Licensor Product” and collectively the “Licensor Products”). Mr. Dougherty shall work with us to develop Licensor Products that are acceptable to us. Upon acceptance of a Licensor Product by us, Mr. Dougherty’s trade secret recipes, formulas methods and ingredients for the preparation and production of such Licensor Products shall be subject to the Development and License Agreement. In connection with the Development and License Agreement, we pay Mr. Dougherty a royalty fee on net sales. USDA approval / Regulations Our food products, which are manufactured both in our own manufacturing facilities and in third-party facilities, are subject to various federal, state and local regulations and inspection, and to extensive regulations and inspections, regarding sanitation, quality, packaging and labeling. In order to distribute and sell our products outside the State of New Jersey, the third-party food processing facilities must meet the standards promulgated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”). Our manufacturing processing facilities and products are subject to periodic inspection by federal, state, and local authorities. In January 2011, the FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act was signed into law. The law will increase the number of inspections at food facilities in the U.S. in an effort to enhance the detection of food borne illness outbreaks and order recalls of tainted food products. The facilities in which our products are manufactured are inspected regularly and comply with all the requirements of the FDA and USDA. We are subject to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and regulations promulgated thereunder by the FDA. This comprehensive regulatory program governs, among other things, the manufacturing, composition and ingredients, packaging, and safety of food. Under this program, the FDA regulates manufacturing practices for foods through, among other things, its current “good manufacturing practices” regulations, or GMP’s, and specifies the recipes for certain foods. Specifically, the USDA defines “all natural” as a product that contains no artificial ingredients, coloring ingredients or chemical preservatives and is minimally processed. The Company’s products were submitted to the USDA and approved as “all natural”. However, should the USDA change their definition of “all natural” at some point in the future, or should MamaMancini’s change their existing recipes to include ingredients that do not meet the USDA’s definition of “all natural”, our results of operations could be adversely affected. The FTC and other authorities regulate how we market and advertise our products, and we are currently in compliance with all regulations related thereto, although we could be the target of claims relating to alleged false or deceptive advertising under federal and state laws and regulations. Changes in these laws or regulations or the introduction of new laws or regulations could increase the costs of doing business for us or our customers or suppliers or restrict our actions, causing our results of operations to be adversely affected. Quality Assurance We take precautions designed to ensure the quality and safety of our products. In addition to routine third-party inspections of our manufacturing facilities, we have instituted regular audits to address topics such as allergen control, ingredient, packaging and product specifications and sanitation. Under the FDA Food Modernization Act, both our own manufacturing facilities and each of our contract manufacturers are required to have a hazard analysis critical control points plan that identifies critical pathways for contaminants and mandates control measures that must be used to prevent, eliminate or reduce relevant food-borne hazards. Our manufacturing facility is certified in the Safe Quality Food Program. These standards are integrated food safety and quality management protocols designed specifically for the food sector and offer a comprehensive methodology to manage food safety and quality simultaneously. Certification provides an independent and external validation that a product, process or service complies with applicable regulations and standards. We work with suppliers who assure the quality and safety of their ingredients. These assurances are supported by our purchasing contracts or quality assurance specification packets, including affidavits, certificates of analysis and analytical testing, where required. The quality assurance staff within our manufacturing facility and within our contract manufacturers conduct periodic on-site routine audits of critical ingredient suppliers. 8 Where You Can Find More Information The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0030.

Item 1A. Risk Factors Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item. Notwithstanding, in addition to risk factors highlighted in previous reports, the Company adds the following additional risk factor: We could be substantially affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic In December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. In addition, as of the time of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, several states in the United States have declared states of emergency, and several countries around the world, including the United States, have taken steps to restrict travel. While all of our operations are located in the United States, we participate in a national supply chain, and the existence of a worldwide pandemic, the fear associated with COVID-19, or any, pandemic, and the reactions of governments around the world in response to COVID-19, or any, pandemic, to regulate the flow of labor and products and impede the travel of personnel, may impact our ability to conduct normal business operations, which could adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity. Disruptions to our supply chain and business operations, or to our suppliers’ or customers’ supply chains and business operations, could include disruptions from the closure of supplier and manufacturer facilities, interruptions in the supply of raw materials and components, personnel absences, or restrictions on the shipment of our or our suppliers’ or customers’ products, any of which could have adverse ripple effects on our manufacturing output and delivery schedule. If we need to close any of our facilities or a critical number of our employees become too ill to work, our production ability could be materially adversely affected in a rapid manner. Similarly, if our customers experience adverse business consequences due to COVID-19, or any other, pandemic, demand for our products could also be materially adversely affected in a rapid manner. Global health concerns, such as COVID-19, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries and localities in which we or our suppliers and customers operate. Any of these uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments. Not applicable. Item 2. Properties.

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF OUR PLAN OF OPERATION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT. THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT RELATE TO FUTURE EVENTS OR OUR FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. THESE STATEMENTS INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE OUR ACTUAL RESULTS, LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS TO BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY FUTURE RESULTS, LEVELS OF ACTIVITY, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE RISKS AND OTHER FACTORS INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, THOSE LISTED UNDER “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” AND “RISK FACTORS” AND THOSE INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT. Results of Operations for the Year ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 The following table sets forth the summary statements of operations for the year ended January 31, 2022 and 2021: For the Year Ended January 31, 2022 January 31, 2021 Sales - Net of Slotting Fees and Discounts $ 47,083,740 $ 40,758,605 Gross Profit $ 11,853,873 $ 12,739,309 Operating Expenses $ (11,771,106 ) $ (9,261,461 ) Other Expenses $ (38,221 ) $ (155,615 ) Income Tax (Provision) Benefit $ (296,472 ) $ 744,973 Net (Loss) Income $ (251,926 ) $ 4,067,206 For the year ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company reported net (loss) income of $(251,926) and $4,067,206, respectively. The change in net income between the year ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 was mainly the result of a decrease in gross profit percentage (as discussed below), one-time expenses equal to $661,293 associated with acquisition closing costs and the income tax provision of $296,472 recorded during the year ended January 31, 2022 compared to a benefit of $744,973 during the year ended January 31, 2021. Sales: Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts increased by approximately 16% to $47,083,740 during the year ended January 31, 2022, from $40,758,605 during the year ended January 31, 2021. During the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company established a greater balance of major customer volumes attributed to growth in sales across a strong portfolio of both national and large regional grocery chains and club stores. Of this increase, $3,370,825 is attributable to the acquisitions in December 2021. Gross Profit: The gross profit margin was 25% for the year ended January 31, 2022 compared to 31% for the year ended January 31, 2021. The change in gross profit margin is due to increases in raw material costs, packaging costs and in-bound freight costs which outpaced sales price increases during the year ended January 31, 2022. Management believes price increases will catch up to the rise in materials and services by the end of the second quarter of fiscal year end January 31, 2023. Operating Expenses: Operating expenses increased by 27% during the year ended January 31, 2022, as compared to the year ended January 31, 2021. Operating expenses increased as a percentage of sales to 25% in 2022 compared to 22% in 2021. The $2,509,645 increase in total operating expenses is primarily attributable to the following: ● Postage and Freight of $1,059,855 due to increased Finished Goods transportation rate increases and fuel surcharges; and increased QVC handling charges. ● Commission Expenses of $142,777 due to higher sales and greater QVC Sales which carries a higher commission ● Director Fees of $148,974, due to the increase in the number of Independent Directors for NASDAQ compliance, an increase in compensation to each Independent Director and an additional shareholder meeting of $12,500. 11 ● NASDAQ up-listing costs of $39,000. ● Professional Fees and Investment Banking fees of $748,293 in one-time charges related to the acquisition on December 29, 2021 of T&L Creative Salads and Olive Branch LLC. ● Insurance Expenses of $109,652 related to rising premiums and addition of coverage for the acquisitions of T&L Creative Salads, Inc. and Olive Branch LLC. Other Income (Expenses): Other income (expenses) decreased by $117,394 to $38,221 for the year ended January 31, 2022 as compared to expenses of $155,615 during the year ended January 31, 2021. For the year ended January 31, 2022, other income (expenses) consisted of $73,487 in interest expense incurred on the Company’s financing arrangements and amortization of debt discount of $2,438 which was offset by the net insurance proceeds relating to the property damage claim of $37,704. For year ended January 31, 2021, other expenses consisted of $137,751 in interest expense incurred on the Company’s financing arrangements and the Company recorded $17,864 of amortization expense related to the debt discount. Liquidity and Capital Resources The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at January 31, 2022 compared to January 31, 2021: January 31, 2022 January 31, 2021 Change Current Assets $ 11,638,317 $ 8,879,451 $ 2,758,866 Current Liabilities $ 8,985,128 $ 4,045,349 $ 4,939,779 Working Capital $ 2,653,189 $ 4,834,102 $ (2,180,913 ) As of January 31, 2022, we had working capital of $2,653,189 as compared to a working capital of $4,834,102 as of January 31, 2021, a decrease of $2,180,913. The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to a decrease in cash of $2,339,962 used for acquisitions, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2,772,029, increase in current portion of lease obligations of $172,500, an increase in the related party promissory note of $759,917 and an increase in the term loan of $1,253,333. These amounts were offset by an increase in inventory of $1,695,582 and an increase in accounts receivable of $3,653,924. Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended January 31, 2022 was $909,841 compared to net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended January 31, 2021 of $3,698,540. The net income (loss) for the year ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 was ($251,926) and $4,067,206, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended January 31, 2022 was $11,270,957 as compared to $(451,940) for the year ended January 31, 2021, respectively . For the year ended January 31, 2022, the cash used in investing activities was to acquire two new companies and purchase of additional fixed assets. For the year ended January 31, 2021, the cash used in investing activities was to purchase additional fixed assets and intangible assets. 12 Net cash used in all financing activities for the year ended January 31, 2022 was $8,021,154 as compared to $449,723 used by financing activities for the year ended January 31, 2021. During the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company received proceeds of new loan borrowings of $7,500,000 from a term loan and $765,000 from the Company’s line of credit. These cash in-flows (among others of a lesser amount) were offset by payments of $199,176 paid for finance lease payments. During the year ended January 31, 2021, the Company received proceeds of $330,505 from the Paycheck Protection Program promissory note and proceeds of $3,787,582 from the exercise of options and warrants. These cash in-flows were offset by payments on its line of credit of $2,997,348, payments on its term loan of $441,663, payments of $641,844 on the related party loans and $156,450 paid for capital lease payments. The Company returned the $330,505 received from the Paycheck Protection Program in May 2020. Although the expected revenue growth and control of expenses lead management to believe that it is probable that the Company’s cash resources will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements through May 27, 2023 based on current and projected levels of operations, the Company may require additional funding to finance growth and achieve its strategic objectives. If such financing is required, there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In the event funding is not available on reasonable terms, the Company might be required to change its growth strategy and/or seek funding on an alternative basis, but there is no guarantee it will be able to do so. Because of the rapidly changing environment in response to COVID-19, the current expectations of the Company may be altered as conditions change. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes (ASU 2019-12, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ”). This guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach to the income tax accounting model and adds new guidance to reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2021, the FASB issued accounting standards update ASU 2021-04, “ Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options ”, to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of ASU No. 2021-04 on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features. ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification and makes targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share (EPS) guidance. This update will be effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities can elect to adopt the new guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its financial statements and intends to adopt the standard as of January 1, 2024. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Critical Accounting Policies Our consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report. We believe the following critical accounting policies and procedures, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements: Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence and the fair value of share-based payments. 13 Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. Intangible Assets Software The Company accounts for acquired internal-use software licenses and certain costs within the scope of ASC 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software as intangible assets. The Company capitalized $87,639 of costs incurred in the year ended January 31, 2022 to implement cloud computing arrangements. Acquired internal-use software licenses are amortized over the term of the arrangement on a straight-line basis to the line item within the consolidated statements of operations that reflects the nature of the license. Additionally, the Company evaluates its accounting for fees paid in an agreement to determine whether it includes a license to internal-use software. If the agreement includes a software license, the Company accounts for the software license as an intangible asset. Acquired software licenses are recognized and measured at cost, which includes the present value of the license obligation if the license is to be paid for over time. If the agreement does not include a software license, the Company accounts for the arrangement as a service contract (hosting arrangement) and hosting costs are generally expensed as incurred. Goodwill The Company does not amortize goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of January 31 or if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the fair value of the entity, or the reporting unit, may be below its carrying amount (a “triggering event”). Whenever events or circumstances change, entities have the option to first make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. If impairment is deemed more likely than not, management would perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step impairment test is not required. In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company assessed relevant events and circumstances that may impact the fair value and the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The identification of the relevant events and circumstances and how these may impact a reporting unit’s fair value or carrying amount involve significant judgements and assumptions. The judgement and assumptions include the identification of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, Company specific events and share price trends, an assessment of whether each relevant factor will impact the impairment test positively or negatively, and the magnitude of an such impact. If a quantitative assessment is performed, a reporting unit’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. A reporting unit’s fair value is determined based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including the income approach, which utilizes projected future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved and multiples of current and future earnings. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Management evaluates the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, it is amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life. Other Intangibles Amortizable intangible assets, including tradenames and trademarks, are amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 years. Customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over 4 to 5 years. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “ Leases” (Topic 842) which amended guidance for lease arrangements to increase transparency and comparability by providing additional information to users of financial statements regarding an entity’s leasing activities. Subsequent to the issuance of Topic 842, the FASB clarified the guidance through several ASUs; hereinafter the collection of lease guidance is referred to as ASC 842. The revised guidance seeks to achieve this objective by requiring reporting entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for substantially all lease arrangements. As part of the adoption the Company elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to: 1. Not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component. 2. Not to apply the recognition requirements in ASC 842 to short-term leases. 3. Not record a right of use asset or right of use liability for leases with an asset or liability balance that would be considered immaterial. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . 14 The Company’s sales predominantly are generated from the sale of finished products to customers, contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer. Typically, this occurs when the goods are shipped to the customer. Revenues are recognized in an amount that reflects the net consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. The Company reports all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue. Under the new revenue guidance, the Company elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities, and the related costs are recorded as selling expenses in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the consolidated statement of operations. Share-based payments issued to placement agents are classified as a direct cost of a stock offering and are recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital. When computing fair value of share-based payments, the Company has considered the following variables: ● The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. ● The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. ● The expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method as permitted under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 110. ● The term is the life of the grant. ● The expected volatility was estimated using the historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. ● The forfeiture rate is based on the historical forfeiture rate for the Company’s unvested stock options, which was 0%. Advertising Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising for the Company are charged to operations as incurred. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item. 15 Item 8. Financial Statements. Our consolidated financial statements appear at the end of this Annual Report. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. There are no reportable events under this item for the year ended January 31, 2022. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. (a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in report that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. (b) MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING This Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. Management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2022, based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, companies are allowed to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year of an acquisition and management elected to exclude the operations of T&L Creative Salads and Olive Branch from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2022, as they were acquired on December 29, 2021. As of period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective including the following material weakness: 1) Lacked sufficient accounting staff to appropriately segregate duties and leverage decision makers to consolidate new entities and complete timely reporting of financial data 2) Lacked sufficient orientation and experience with new ERP systems platform which hindered productivity and required additional supervision delaying timely reporting of financial statements. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only the management’s report in this annual report. Management’s Remediation Initiatives In response to identified deficiencies, subsequent to year-end and beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year ended January 31, 2023, Management has implemented the following actions to improve controls and reporting capabilities going forward: 1) Adjusted a Company executive’s responsibilities to focus solely on day-to-day accuracy of financial transactions, consolidation of subsidiary accounting and timely reporting of results in support of our Chief Financial Officer. 2) Retained Third Party NetSuite Platform expertise to improve ready access to knowledge for problem solving and staff training, 3) Added additional staff to address analysis of accounts payable and accounts receivable to improve workload demands and further segregate duties. 4) Retained a Third party accountant to review accounting processes and procedures and advise on improvements, including but not limited to simplifying the Company’s approach to gross profit calculation. 5) Retained an outside accounting firm to assist in the preparation and presentation of financial statements. Management intends to execute the following initiatives in addition to the aforementioned actions in order to improve the Company’s financial reporting: 1) Recruit a Corporate Controller on staff with responsibility for oversight of financial statement preparation. 2) Integrate all subsidiaries including recent acquisitions onto the Company’s recently-implemented NetSuite platform so that all Company subsidiaries and departments operate on a consistent basis and platform. (c) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING During the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended January 31, 2022, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls . A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Item 9B.

Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc. (the Company) as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Business Combinations – Valuation of Acquired Intangible Assets As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on December 29, 2021, the Company acquired T&L Creative Salads, Inc. and Olive Branch Foods, LLC for purchase consideration of approximately $14 million. The Company accounted for the acquisition in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which required the Company to exercise judgment and make estimates and assumptions based on available information regarding the fair values of intangible assets as of the date of the acquisition. We identified the fair values of certain identifiable intangible assets, primarily goodwill, trademarks, trade names, and a customer list, as critical audit matters. The principal considerations for our determination included the following: (i) changes in the key assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the intangible assets acquired, (ii) subjectivity and judgment required to determine significant unobservable inputs and assumptions utilized by the Company in determining the fair value of the intangible assets, specifically projected revenue growth rates, expected cash flow, royalty rates and discount rates and (iii) the appropriateness of the use of various valuation models to determine the fair value of the intangible assets. Auditing these factors involved especially challenging and subjective auditor judgment due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address the matters, including the extent of specialized skill or knowledge needed. The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included: ● Assessing the reasonableness of projected revenue growth rates and expected cash flow through: (i) evaluating the Company’s objectives, strategies, and related business risks, (ii) evaluating consistency with available industry or other third-party reports or data, and (iii) evaluating the Company’s relevant evidence and analysis for the significant assumptions. ● Utilizing personnel with specialized knowledge and skill with valuations to (i) assess the reasonableness of royalty rates and discount rates utilized in the various valuation models and (ii) assess the appropriateness of the various valuation models utilized by management to determine the fair values of the intangible assets. /s/ Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements January 31, 2022 Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Nature of Operations MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), (formerly known as Mascot Properties, Inc.) was organized on July 22, 2009 as a Nevada corporation. The Company has a year-end of January 31. The Company is a manufacturer and distributor of beef meatballs with sauce, turkey meatballs with sauce, beef meat loaf, chicken parmesan and other similar meats and sauces. In addition, the Company continues to diversify its product line by introducing new products such as ready to serve dinners, single-size Pasta Bowls, bulk deli, packaged refrigerated and frozen products. The Company’s products were submitted to the United States Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”) and approved as all natural. The USDA defines all natural as a product that contains no artificial ingredients, coloring ingredients or chemical preservatives and is minimally processed. The Company’s customers are located throughout the United States, with large concentrations in the Northeast and Southeast. On December 29, 2021, the Company made two acquisitions which expand the Company’s core product lines, and access to specific markets. T&L Creative Salads, Inc. (“T&L”) and Olive Branch, LLC (“OB”), are related premier gourmet food manufacturers based in New York. T&L offers a full line of foods for retail food chains and club stores, delis, bagel stores, caterers and provision distributors. T&L uses high-quality meats, seafood and vegetables, prepared to meet the standards set forth by the USDA and the FDA. Olive Branch started operations six years ago as a separate company to concentrate on selling olives, olive mixes, and savory products to a limited number of large retail customers, primarily in pre-packaged containers. Note 2 – Business Acquisitions The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), and goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, “ Intangibles — Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination is recorded as goodwill. ASC 805 specifies criteria to be used in determining whether intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. Amounts assigned to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are based on independent appraisals or internal estimates. On December 23, 2021, the Company announced the signing of definitive agreements for two acquisitions –T&L and OB, which are gourmet food manufacturers based in New York. The closing of these transactions was completed on December 29, 2021. The Company acquired T&L and OB for a combined purchase price of $ 14.0 million, including $ 11.0 million in cash at closing and $ 3.0 million in a promissory note. The promissory note requires annual principal payments of $ 750,000 payable on each anniversary of the closing, together with accrued interest at a rate of three and one-half ( 3.5 %) per annum. The maker of the Note is T&L Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is guaranteed by the Company. The maker has a right of set-off against the balance due for any matters which are the subject of an indemnification under the transaction agreements. The cash payment was funded through cash on hand and a $ 7.5 million long-term acquisition note from M&T Bank (see below). Anthony Morello, Jr. will remain as CEO of T&L Acquisition Corp. On December 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Multiple Disbursement Term Loan (“Loan”) with M&T Bank for the original principal amount of $ 7,500,000 payable in monthly installments over a 60-month amortization period. The Maturity Date of the Loan is January 17, 2027 . Interest is payable on the unpaid Principal Amount of the Loan at a variable rate per annum based on the Company’s Senior Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank) established with respect to the Borrower as of the date of any advance under the Loan as follows: if the Senior Funded Debt/EBITDA ratio is: (i) greater than 2.00 but less than or equal to 2.50, 4.12 percentage point(s) above one-day (i.e., overnight) SOFR (as defined); (ii) greater than 1.50 but less than or equal to 2.00, 3.62 percentage points above one-day SOFR; or (iii) 1.50 or less, 3.12 percentage points above one-day SOFR. In all events set forth at subsections (i) through (iii) in the preceding sentence, if SOFR shall at any time be less than 0.25%, one-day SOFR shall be deemed to be 0.25% and the foregoing margins shall be applied to the SOFR Index Floor . F- 7 All of the proceeds of the Loan were utilized to fund the acquisition of T&L and OB. During the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company incurred approximately $ 748,000 in transaction costs for professional fees and other expenses, which are included in General and administration operating expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Of these fees, approximately $ 401,000 was paid to Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (See Note 12). For the period from December 29, 2021 to January 31, 2022, T&L had revenue and income before taxes of $ 2,846,184 and $ 44,281 , respectively. For the period from December 29, 2021 to January 31, 2022, OB had revenue and income before taxes of $ 665,513 and $ 12,420 , respectively. The following presents the unaudited pro-forma combined results of operations of T&L and OB with the Company as if the entities were combined on February 1, 2020. Schedule of Pro-forma Combined Results of Operation For the Year Ended January 31, 2022 For the Year Ended January 31, 2021 Revenues $ 76,914,679 $ 42,687,880 Net income $ 62,304 $ 4,457,746 Net income per share - basic $ 0.00 $ 0.13 Weighted average number of shares outstanding 35,702,197 33,503,208 The unaudited pro-forma results of operations are presented for information purposes only. The unaudited pro-forma results of operations are not intended to present actual results that would have been attained had the acquisitions been completed as of February 1, 2020 or to project potential operating results as of any future date or for any future periods. ASC 805 defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date the acquirer achieves control. ASC 805 requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquirer (if any) at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. ASC 805 also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration (if any) at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. The following summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date: Schedule of Asset Acquired and Liabilities Assumed Assets: Cash $ 591,458 Accounts receivable 2,715,515 Inventories 1,221,055 Fixed assets, net 503,907 Intangibles 10,574,334 Total identified assets acquired $ 15,606,269 Liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 1,606,269 Total liabilities assumed 1,606,269 Total net assets acquired $ 14,000,000 The acquisition method of accounting requires extensive use of estimates and judgments to allocate the considerations transferred to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The amounts used in computing the purchase price differ from the amounts in the purchase agreements due to fair value measurement conventions prescribed by accounting standards. F- 8 The intangible assets acquired include the trademarks and customer relationships. The allocation of purchase price is still deemed to be a preliminary allocation because of potential changes in the valuation of intangibles and the acquired fixed assets. The goodwill represents the assembled workforce, acquired capabilities, and future economic benefits resulting from the acquisition. All of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the entities as of the reporting period ending date(s) and for the reporting period(s). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence and the fair value of share-based payments. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates. Risks and Uncertainties The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and change in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure. The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the grocery industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices pertaining to food and beverages in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis. Cash The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents at January 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. At January 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $ 186,100 in cash balances that exceed federally insured limits. F- 9 Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The Company determines if receivables are past due based on days outstanding, and amounts are written off when determined to be uncollectible by management. As of January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021, the Company had reserves of $ 2,000 . Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) valuation method. Inventory was comprised of the following at January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021: Schedule of Inventories January 31, 2022 January 31, 2021 Raw Materials $ 1,854,156 $ 746,013 Work in Process 244,974 88,955 Finished goods 791,663 360,243 Inventories $ 2,890,793 $ 1,195,211 Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost net of depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives. Asset lives for financial statement reporting of depreciation are: Schedule of Property and Equipment Estimated Useful Lives Machinery and equipment 2 - 7 years Furniture and fixtures 3 years Leasehold improvements - * (*) Amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives, whichever period is shorter. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Intangible Assets Software The Company accounts for acquired internal-use software licenses and certain costs within the scope of ASC 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software as intangible assets. The Company capitalized $ 87,639 of costs incurred in the year ended January 31, 2021 to implement cloud computing arrangements. Acquired internal-use software licenses are amortized over the term of the arrangement on a straight-line basis to the line item within the consolidated statements of operations that reflects the nature of the license. In November 2021, the Company finalized the implementation process and began to use the software license and recorded amortization of $ 7,303 . Additionally, the Company evaluates its accounting for fees paid in an agreement to determine whether it includes a license to internal-use software. If the agreement includes a software license, the Company accounts for the software license as an intangible asset. Acquired software licenses are recognized and measured at cost, which includes the present value of the license obligation if the license is to be paid for over time. If the agreement does not include a software license, the Company accounts for the arrangement as a service contract (hosting arrangement) and hosting costs are generally expensed as incurred. F- 10 Goodwill The Company does not amortize goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of January 31 or if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the fair value of the entity, or the reporting unit, may be below its carrying amount (a “triggering event”). Whenever events or circumstances change, entities have the option to first make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. If impairment is deemed more likely than not, management would perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step impairment test is not required. In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company assessed relevant events and circumstances that may impact the fair value and the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The identification of the relevant events and circumstances and how these may impact a reporting unit’s fair value or carrying amount involve significant judgements and assumptions. The judgement and assumptions include the identification of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, Company specific events and share price trends, an assessment of whether each relevant factor will impact the impairment test positively or negatively, and the magnitude of an such impact. If a quantitative assessment is performed, a reporting unit’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. A reporting unit’s fair value is determined based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including the income approach, which utilizes projected future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved and multiples of current and future earnings. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Management evaluates the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, it is amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life. As of January 31, 2022, there were no impairment losses recognized for goodwill. Other Intangibles Other intangibles consist of trademarks, trade names and customer relationships. Intangible asset lives for financial statement reporting of amortization are: Schedule of Other Intangible Assets Impairment Losses Recognized for Goodwill Tradenames and trademarks 3 years Customer relationships 4 - 5 years During the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company recognized amortization of $ 36,357 related to other intangible assets. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “ Leases” (Topic 842) which amended guidance for lease arrangements to increase transparency and comparability by providing additional information to users of financial statements regarding an entity’s leasing activities. Subsequent to the issuance of Topic 842, the FASB clarified the guidance through several ASUs; hereinafter the collection of lease guidance is referred to as ASC 842. The revised guidance seeks to achieve this objective by requiring reporting entities to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for substantially all lease arrangements. As part of the adoption the Company elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to: 1. Not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component. 2. Not to apply the recognition requirements in ASC 842 to short-term leases. 3. Not record a right of use asset or right of use liability for leases with an asset or liability balance that would be considered immaterial. F- 11 Fair Value of Financial Instruments For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term financial instruments approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. Research and Development Research and development is expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 were $ 120,692 and $ 110,713 , respectively. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The Company’s sales predominantly are generated from the sale of finished products to customers, contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer. Typically, this occurs when the goods are shipped to the customer. Revenues are recognized in an amount that reflects the net consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. The Company reports all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue. The Company elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities, and the related costs are recorded as selling expenses in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company promotes its products with advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions. These programs include discounts, slotting fees, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives and volume-based incentives. Customer trade promotion and consumer incentive activities are recorded as a reduction to the transaction price based on amounts estimated as being due to customers and consumers at the end of a period. The Company derives these estimates principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. The Company does not receive a distinct service in relation to the advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions. Payment terms in the Company’s invoices are based on the billing schedule established in contracts and purchase orders with customers. The Company recognizes the related trade receivable when the goods are shipped. Expenses such as slotting fees, sales discounts, and allowances are accounted for as a direct reduction of revenues as follows: Schedule of Expenses of Slotting Fees, Sales Discounts and Allowances are Accounted as Direct Reduction of Revenues For the Year Ended January 31, 2022 January 31, 2021 Gross Sales $ 48,798,656 $ 42,238,702 Less: Slotting, Discounts, Allowances 1,714,916 1,480,097 Net Sales $ 47,083,740 $ 40,758,605 Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The following table disaggregates gross revenue by significant geographic area for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021: Schedule of Disaggregates Gross Revenue by Significant Geographic Area For the Year Ended January 31, 2022 January 31, 2021 Northeast $ 16,119,490 $ 13,994,534 Southeast 17,546,606 12,780,368 Midwest 4,917,263 4,870,644 West 5,358,105 5,515,759 Southwest 4,857,192 5,077,397 Total revenue $ 48,798,656 $ 42,238,702 F- 12 Cost of Sales Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production and manufacturing of the Company’s products. Costs include product development, freight-in, packaging, and print production costs. Advertising Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising for the Company are charged to operations as incurred. Producing and communicating advertising expenses for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 were $ 734,924 and $ 633,102 respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation” ( “ASC 718” ), which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718. The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the consolidated statement of operations. Share-based payments issued to placement agents are classified as a direct cost of a stock offering and are recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital. For the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, share-based compensation amounted to $ 32,918 and $ 52,895 , respectively. For the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, when computing fair value of share-based payments, the Company has considered the following variables: Schedule of Fair Value of Share-Based Payments January 31, 2022 January 31, 2021 Risk-free interest rate N/A 0.00 – 0.49 % Expected life of grants N/A 0.1 – 5.2 years Expected volatility of underlying stock N/A 43 - 127 % Dividends N/A 0 % The expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method as permitted under the provisions of ASC 718-10-S99. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options was estimated using the historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods. F- 13 Earnings (Loss) Per Share Earnings per share (“EPS”) is the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. EPS is computed pursuant to Section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16, basic EPS shall be computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or warrants. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net income attributable to common stockholders per common share.

A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the period of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset of $ 448,501 and $ 744,973 , respectively, which is included in other long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company regularly evaluates the need for a valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset. The Company is no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to the year ended January 31, 2019. F- 14 In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“ CARES Act ”) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“ 2017 Tax Act ”). Corporate taxpayers may carryback net operating losses ( “NOLs ”) originating between 2018 and 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2019, 2020 or 2021. Taxpayers may generally deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act) for 2019 and 2020 . The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017 Tax Act. In addition, the CARES Act raises the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to the income tax provision . Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB issued authoritative guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes (ASU 2019-12, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ”). This guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the general approach to the income tax accounting model and adds new guidance to reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes. This guidance is effective for annual periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2021, the FASB issued accounting standards update ASU 2021-04—Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of ASU No. 2021-04 on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features. ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification and makes targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share (EPS) guidance. This update will be effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities can elect to adopt the new guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its financial statements and intends to adopt the standard as of January 1, 2024. Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Subsequent Events The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure. Any material events that occur between the balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements were issued are disclosed as subsequent events, while the financial statements are adjusted to reflect any conditions that existed at the balance sheet date.

This lease term is through November 30, 2031 with the option to extend the lease for two additional ten-year terms with rent of $ 20,200 per month through December 31, 2026, increasing after that date to $ 23,567 through the end of the initial lease term. The exercise of optional renewal is uncertain and therefore excluded from the calculation of the right of use asset (see Note 9). Other Related Party Transactions During the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company reimbursed an entity 100 % owned by the CEO of the Company for certain investor relation conference expenses totaling $ 4,612 and $ 29,503 , respectively.

F- 16 Note 7 - Loan and Security Agreement M&T Bank Effective, January 4, 2019, the Company obtained a $ 3.5 million working capital line of credit with M&T Bank at LIBOR plus four points with a two -year expiration. On January 29, 2020, the facility was amended to increase the total available balance to $ 4.0 million as well as extend the maturity date to June 30, 2022 . On June 11, 2021, the line was amended to increase the available borrowings to $ 4.5 million and extended the maturity date to June 30, 2023 . As part of the extension the Company incurred financing fees of $ 5,000 . These fees are recorded as deferred financing fees and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the balance sheet. These fees are amortized over the remaining life of the line of credit. As of January 31, 2022, there were unamortized fees of $ 3,542 . The facility is supported by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s business assets and is further subject to various affirmative and negative financial covenants and a limited Guaranty by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Carl Wolf. The covenants were waived by the bank for the year ended January 31, 2022. Advances under the line of credit are limited to eighty percent (80%) of eligible accounts receivable (which is subject to an agreed limitation and is further subject to certain asset concentration provisions) and fifty percent (50%) of eligible inventory (which is subject to an agreed dollar limitation) . All advances under the line of credit are due upon maturity. The outstanding balance on the line of credit was $ 765,000 and $ 0 as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred interest of $ 1,161 and $ 0 to M&T Bank for the line of credit agreement. As discussed above in Note 2, on December 29, 2021, the Company entered into a loan with M&T Bank for the original principal amount of $ 7,500,000 payable in monthly installments over a 60-month amortization period (the “Acquisition Note”). The Maturity Date of the Acquisition Note is January 17, 2027 . Interest is payable on the unpaid Principal Amount of the Acquisition Note at a variable rate per annum based on the Company’s Senior Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement between Borrower and Bank) established with respect to the Borrower as of the date of any advance under the Acquisition Note as follows: if the Senior Funded Debt/EBITDA ratio is: (i) greater than 2.00 but less than or equal to 2.50, 4.12 percentage point(s) above one-day (i.e., overnight) SOFR (as defined); (ii) greater than 1.50 but less than or equal to 2.00, 3.62 percentage points above one-day SOFR; or (iii) 1.50 or less, 3.12 percentage points above one-day SOFR. In all events set forth at subsections (i) through (iii) in the preceding sentence, if SOFR shall at any time be less than 0.25%, one-day SOFR shall be deemed to be 0.25% and the foregoing margins shall be applied to the SOFR Index Floor . The Company recorded a debt discount of $ 58,750 in relation to the debt. For the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company recorded $ 979 in accretion of the debt discount. As of January 31, 2022, the outstanding balance and unamortized discount of the Acquisition Note was $ 7,500,000 and $ 57,771 , respectively.

Note 8 – Promissory Note On April 21, 2020, the Company entered into a term note with its principal bank, M&T, with a principal amount of $ 330,505 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“ PPP Term Note ”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “ CARES Act ”). The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note. The PPP Term Note bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.00 %, with the first six months of interest deferred. The Company returned the $ 330,505 received from the Paycheck Protection Program on May 6, 2020, inclusive of interest. Note 9 - Leases The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s leases consist of office space, manufacturing space and machinery and equipment. The Company utilized a portfolio approach in determining the discount rate. The portfolio approach takes into consideration the range of the term, the range of the lease payments, the category of the underlying asset and the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company also considered its recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating the incremental borrowing rates. F- 17 The lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. These operating leases contain renewal options for periods ranging from three to five years that expire at various dates with no residual value guarantees. Future obligations relating to the exercise of renewal options is included in the measurement if, based on the judgment of management, the renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Factors in determining whether an option is reasonably certain of exercise include, but are not limited to, the value of leasehold improvements, the value of the renewal rate compared to market rates, and the presence of factors that would cause a significant economic penalty to the Company if the option is not exercised. Management reasonably plans to exercise all options, and as such, all renewal options are included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, per the election of the practical expedient. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company recognizes variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date, otherwise variable lease payments are recognized in the period incurred. On March 1, 2021, the Company amended an existing lease with the landlord for a new premise with a greater square footage. Upon cancellation of the existing lease, the Company wrote-off the net right of use asset and corresponding lease liability of $ 22,870 . The Company recorded a right of use asset and related liability of $ 328,148 for the new space which will be occupied over a 60-month period. On December 29, 2021, the Company entered into a new right of use obligation with a related party (See Note 6) for office, manufacturing, and storage space in Farmingdale, New York. In connection with this lease, the Company recorded a right of use asset and corresponding lease liability of $ 2,129,084 .

Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies Insurance Claim The Company maintains insurance for both property damage and business interruption relating to catastrophic events, such as fires. Insurance recoveries received for property damage and business interruption in excess of the net book value of damaged assets, clean-up and demolition costs, and post-event costs are recognized as income in the period received or committed when all contingencies associated with the recoveries are resolved. Gains on insurance recoveries related to business interruption are recorded within “Cost of sales” and any gains or losses related to property damage are recorded within “Other income (expense)” on the consolidated statements of income. On December 7, 2020, the Company experienced a fire at its plant in a spiral oven. The spiral oven was rebuilt and was fully put back into service in late February 2021. The estimated loss is approximately $ 656,700 which includes loss of business, the rebuild of the spiral oven, additional expenses to clean plant and lost material and packaging. During the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company received $ 152,850 relating to business interruption insurance which was recorded as a component of costs of sales on the consolidated statements of income.

F- 22 Note 13 - Income Tax Provision The income tax provision consists of the following: Schedule of Components of Income Tax Expense Income tax provision / (benefit) consists of the following: January 31, 2022 January 31, 2021 Federal Current $ - $ - Deferred 32,224 ( 184,085 ) State and Local Current Deferred 264,248 ( 560,888 ) Income tax provision / (benefit) $ 296,472 $ ( 744,973 ) On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Bill”) was signed into law. Prior to the enactment of the Tax Reform Bill, the Company measured its deferred tax assets at the federal rate of 34%. The Tax Reform Bill reduced the federal tax rate to 21% resulting in the re-measurement of the deferred tax asset as of January 31, 2018. Beginning January 1, 2018, the lower tax rate of 21% will be used to calculate the amount of any federal income tax due on taxable income earned during 2019 . The Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers (NOLs) of approximately $ 5.4 million and $ 3.8 million at January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, available to offset taxable income through 2034. If not used, these NOLs may be subject to limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 should there be a greater than 50% ownership change as determined under the regulations. The Company plans on undertaking a detailed analysis of any historical and/or current Section 382 ownership changes that may limit the utilization of the net operating loss carryovers. The Company also has State NOLs of approximately $ 10.0 million and $ 5.2 million at January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, available to offset future taxable income through 2035 . In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future generation for taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. During the year ended January 31, 2021, the valuation allowance was reduced to zero and decreased by $ 2,177,802 . There was no valuation allowance as of January 31, 2022. The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the Company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740. If applicable, interest costs related to the unrecognized tax benefits are required to be calculated and would be classified as “Other expenses – Interest” in the consolidated statements of operations. Penalties would be recognized as a component of “General and administrative.” No interest or penalties on unpaid tax were recorded during the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next year.
