NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 -BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:

Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (the “Company”) conducts wholesale coffee operations, including manufacturing, roasting, packaging, marketing and distributing roasted and blended coffees for private labeled accounts and its own brands, and it sells green coffee. The Company also manufactures and sells coffee roasters. The Company’s core product, coffee, can be summarized and divided into three product categories (“product lines”) as follows:

Wholesale Green Coffee: unroasted raw beans imported from around the world and sold to large and small roasters and coffee shop operators;

Private Label Coffee: coffee roasted, blended, packaged and sold under the specifications and names of others, including supermarkets that want to have their own brand name on coffee to compete with national brands; and,

Branded Coffee: coffee roasted and blended to the Company’s own specifications and packaged and sold under the Company’s eight proprietary and licensed brand names in different segments of the market.

The Company’s private label and branded coffee sales are primarily to customers that are located throughout the United States with limited sales in Canada and certain countries in Asia. Such customers include supermarkets, wholesalers, and individually-owned and multi-unit retailers. The Company’s unprocessed green coffee, which includes over 90 specialty coffee offerings, is sold primarily to specialty gourmet roasters and to coffee shop operators in the United States with limited sales in Australia and Canada.

The Company’s wholesale green, private label, and branded coffee product categories generate revenues and cost of sales individually but incur selling, general and administrative expenses in the aggregate. There are no individual product managers and discrete financial information is not available for any of the product lines. The Company’s product portfolio is used in one business and it operates and competes in one business activity and economic environment. In addition, the three product lines share customers, manufacturing resources, sales channels, and marketing support. Thus, the Company considers the three product lines to be one single reporting segment.

On September 29, 2022, the Company entered into a Merger and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Delta Corp Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”), Delta Corp Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales (“Delta”), CHC Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), and each of the holders of ordinary shares of Delta as named therein. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub would merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, would be cancelled and converted for the right of the holder thereof to receive one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 of Pubco. There was a shareholder vote in April 2024 on the Merger Agreement that did not pass. On June 21, 2024, the Company terminated the Merger Agreement. No early termination penalties were payable by the Company upon termination of the Merger Agreement.

Liquidity

The Company’s line of credit will become due June 28, 2026 (see Note 7). The agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants computed on a quarterly and annual basis. As of October 31, 2025, the Company is in compliance with those financial covenants. The Company is in a net income position for the year ended October 31, 2025 of $1.4 million and a net working capital surplus of $22.6 million. The Company maintained a line of credit with an outstanding balance of approximately $6 million during the year; however, this borrowing capacity was supported by a substantially larger asset base, including approximately $20 million of inventory and $12 million of accounts receivable. The line of credit is collateralized by, and borrowed against, eligible inventory and accounts receivable under the terms of the agreement. As a result, the Company does not believe that substantial doubt is raised regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the ability to meet its obligations as they become due within the twelve months from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO”), Sonofresco LLC (“SONO”), Comfort Foods, Inc. (“CFI”), which closed its manufacturing facility in October 2025, and Second Empire, LLC (“Second Empire”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and comply with SEC reporting requirements.

USE OF ESTIMATES:

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates include depreciable lives for long-lived assets, and valuation of indefinitely lived intangible assets impairment testing. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could have a significant impact on recorded amounts.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

Cash and cash equivalents consists primarily of unrestricted cash on deposits and securities with an original maturity of 3 months or less at financial institutions and brokerage firms.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:

Trade accounts receivable is stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current customer conditions, reasonable forecasts, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 60 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated credit losses through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.

The reserve for sales discounts represents the estimated discount that customers will take upon payment. The reserve for other allowances represents the estimated amount of returns, slotting fees and volume based discounts estimated to be incurred by the Company from its customers. The allowances are summarized as follows:

20252024
Allowance for credit losses234,00065,000
Reserve for other allowances35,00035,000
Reserve for sales discounts44,00044,000
Totals313,000144,000

INVENTORIES:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out basis) or net realizable value, including provisions for obsolescence commensurate with known or estimated exposures. There areno reserves for obsolescence as of October 31, 2025, and 2024.

BUILDING, MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT:

Building, machinery and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Purchases of buildings, machinery and equipment and additions and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized at cost. Expenditures which do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred. The Company also provides for amortization of leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the lease term.

COMMODITIES HELD BY BROKER:

The commodities held at broker represent the market value of the Company’s trading account, which consists of option and future contracts for coffee held with a brokerage firm. The Company uses options and futures contracts, which are not designated or qualifying as hedging instruments, to partially hedge the effects of fluctuations in the price of green coffee beans. Options and futures contracts are level 1 investments recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements with current recognition of gains and losses on such positions. The Company’s accounting for options and futures contracts may impact earnings volatility in any particular period. We record all open contract positions on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value in the due from and due to broker line items and typically do not offset these assets and liabilities.

The Company classifies its options and future contracts as trading securities and accordingly, unrealized holding gains and losses are included in the statement of operations as a component of cost of sales.

The Company recorded realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts as follows. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying financial statements.

Year Ended October 31,
20252024
Gross realized gains4,080,0631,968,168
Gross realized losses(1,399,481)(1,005,616)
Unrealized gains (losses), net(872,613)617,902
Total1,807,9691,580,454

CUSTOMER LIST AND RELATIONSHIPS:

Customer list and relationships consist of a specific customer lists and customer contracts obtained by the Company in the acquisition of OPTCO, Comfort Foods and Sonofresco which are being amortized on the straight-line method over their estimated useful life oftwenty years. Amortization expense for the years ended October 31, 2025, and 2024 was $30,500.

TRADEMARKS:

The Company has determined that its trademarks, which consist of product lines, trade names and packaging designs have indefinite useful lives. Trademarks are tested for impairment at least annually or when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the trademarks exceed fair value. The Company performs its annual impairment test on October 31 of each year by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying amounts exceed the fair values. Depending on the outcome of our qualitative assessment, we may perform a quantitative assessment to determine if the carrying amounts exceed the fair values on the assessment date.

During the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s management concluded that no impairment charge was necessary during the years then ended.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS:

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets used in operations, primarily buildings, machinery and equipment as well as intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value amounts of these assets might not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of buildings, machinery and equipment and amortizable intangible assets, the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are compared to the carrying amounts of those assets. If and when the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the undiscounted cashflows, then the related assets will be written down to fair value, if less.

During the year ended October 31, 2025, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to the Comfort lease as the Company vacated the facility prior to the end of the lease term and expects to incur approximately $200,000 of remaining lease obligations. During the years ended October 31, 2024, the Company recordedno impairment charges related to amortizable intangible assets, buildings, machinery and equipment.

ADVERTISING:

The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotion as incurred. Advertising costs charged to operations totaled $70,751 and $32,455 for the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

INCOME TAXES:

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision or benefit is the tax incurred for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Basic (loss) earnings per common share was computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted (loss) earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of potential sources of dilution. The Company has 921,000 options outstanding which have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive.

The weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share were 5,708,599 for the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, notes due to/(from) broker and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the bank line of credit approximates fair value because the debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instruments when available. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The Company measures fair value as required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

●A) Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
●B) Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
●C) Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:

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

The following table presents revenues by product line for the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024.

20252024
Green31,270,62831,177,003
Packed65,012,91947,385,295
Totals96,283,54778,562,298

Revenue for these product lines is recognized upon shipment to the customer.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS:

Revenue earned from shipping and handling fees is reflected in net sales. Costs associated with shipping product to customers aggregating approximately $4,000,000 and $2,700,000 for the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, is included in cost of sales.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits at financial institutions and brokerage firms.

Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to certain limits. At October 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had approximately $450,000 and $780,000 in excess of FDIC insured limits, respectively.

The accounts at the brokerage firm contain cash and securities. Balances are insured up to $500,000, with a limit of $100,000 for cash, by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).

EQUITY METHOD OF ACCOUNTING:

Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an Investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the Investee company’s board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the Investee company. Under the equity method of accounting, an Investee company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s consolidated Balance Sheets and consolidated Statements of Operations; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the Investee company is reflected in the caption “Loss from equity method investments” in the consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s carrying value in an equity method Investee company is reflected in the caption “Equity method investments” in the Company’s consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s equity method investments consist of the following:

(1)20% interest in Healthwise Gourmet Coffees, LLC, a distributor of low acidity coffees. The initial investment in this company amounted to $100,000. The loss recognized amounted to $0 and $25 for the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The carrying amount of this investment as presented on the consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2025 and 2024 was $39,651.

LEASES:

Leases are accounted for under ASC 842. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. The Company’s operating lease arrangements are comprised of real estate and facility leases. Right of use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right of use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate and the implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the measurement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. Right of use assets also exclude lease incentives.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS -ADOPTED:

The Company follows the FASB Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326).” This guidance requires entities to use a current expected credit loss impairment model rather than incurred losses. The Company considers factors such as credit quality, age of balances, historical experience and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company’s expectation of collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07, which is applicable to entities with a single reportable segment, primarily requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and enhanced disclosures in interim periods. The guidance in ASU 2023-07 was effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. The Company adopted the guidance in ASU 2023-07 on October 1, 2024, and it is being applied retrospectively to its consolidated financial statement disclosures.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS -NOT YET ADOPTED:

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements – Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.” This standard affects a wide variety of Topics in the Codification. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance makes several other changes to the income tax disclosure requirements. The guidance in ASU 2023-09 will be effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which is intended to provide more detailed information about specified categories of expenses (purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the consolidated statement of operations. The guidance in this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

NOTE 3 -BUSINESS COMBINATION:

On November 6, 2024, the Company (through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Second Empire) purchased the remaining assets of Empire Coffee Company for $800,000 in a Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) Chapter 9 sale (the “Second Empire Acquisition”). Operations of Second Empire will include roasting and packing for current Company’s customers as well as customers of Empire Coffee. The results of Second Empire are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The Company has accounted for the Second Empire Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired identifiable net assets purchased in the Second Empire Acquisition based on assessments of their respective fair values. The assets purchased consisted of equipment, accounts receivable and inventories. The Company has determined that no portion of the purchase price is allocated to intangible assets as there were no acquired intangibles that are considered identifiable under ASC 805. Based on a fair value assessment, all value has been attributed to tangible assets. Second Empire will operate as a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The following tables summarize the fair values of consideration transferred and the fair values of identified assets acquired at the date of acquisition:

Accounts Receivable531,585
Inventory268,415

Net deferred tax asset229,899592,398

A valuation allowance was not provided at October 31, 2025 or 2024. In assessing the realizability 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 the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are expected to be deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

As of October 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company didnot have any unrecognized tax benefits or open tax positions. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of October 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company hadno accrued interest or penalties related to income taxes. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress.

The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return and California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, New York, New York City, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia state tax returns. The Company’s federal income tax return is no longer subject to examination by the federal taxing authority for years before fiscal 2022.

NOTE 14 –SEGMENT INFORMATION:

ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, or group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is Andrew Gordon, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director. The Company hasone reportable segment: coffee. The Company derives revenue primarily in North America and manages the business activities on a consolidated basis.

The coffee segment derives revenue from the sale of wholesale green coffee, private label coffee and branded coffee. Revenue for these product lines is recognized upon shipment to the customer. The CODM assesses performance for the coffee segment and decides how to allocate resources based on operating income that also is reported on statement of operations as consolidated income (loss) from operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews the Trading Profit and Operating income table below:

(1)Trading profit is included in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of operations.
(2)Overhead includes officers’ salaries and selling and administrative expenses included in the consolidated statement of operations.

The CODM uses operating income (loss) to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the coffee segment or into other parts of the entity such as for acquisitions or to pay dividends. Intra-entity sales and cash transfers are eliminated in operating income (loss) used by the CODM.
