COFFEE HOLDING CO INC

Note 1 -Business Activities

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

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

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

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

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

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

Going Concern and Liquidity

The Company’s line of credit will be due June 28, 2026 (see Note 6). The agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants computed on a quarterly and annual basis. As of April 30, 2025, the Company is in compliance with those financial covenants. The Company has net income for the six months ended April 30, 2025 of $1,797,311 and a net working capital surplus of $25,831,578. As a result, the Company does not believe that substantial doubt is raised regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the ability to meet its obligations as they become due within the twelve months from the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

Note 2 –Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policy

The Company’s fiscal year ends on October 31 of each calendar year. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on substantially the same basis as its annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The October 31, 2024 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data in this document was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended October 31, 2024 and notes thereto included in the Company’s fiscal 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 31, 2025 (the “2024 10-K”). The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries, Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO”), Sonofresco, LLC (“SONO”), Comfort Foods, Inc, and Second Empire, LLC (“Second Empire”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and comply with SEC reporting requirements.

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the Company’s 2024 10-K, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended April 30, 2025.

Revenue Recognition

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

The following table presents revenues by product line for the six and three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Adopted

The Company follows the FASB Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326).” This guidance requires entities to use a current expected credit loss impairment model rather than incurred losses. The Company considers factors such as credit quality, age of balances, historical experience and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company’s expectation of collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The standard became effective for the Company on November 1, 2023. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting – Improving Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280).” The standard is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The standard requires disclosure to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also requires all annual disclosures currently required by ASC Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, however; it did result in enhanced disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these standards will have on it financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted

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

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures, The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The Company has accounted for the Second Empire Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired identifiable net assets purchased in the Second Empire Acquisition based on assessments of their respective fair values. The provisional fair value estimates of the assets acquired are subject to subsequent adjustments as additional information is obtained during the applicable measurement period. The assets purchased consisted of equipment, accounts receivable and inventories. The Company has determined that no portion of the purchase price is allocated to intangible assets as there were no acquired intangibles that are considered identifiable under ASC 805. In addition, the Company determined that the acquired equipment had no value as it was originally purchased in the mid-1990s and has been fully depreciated for a few years. Based on a fair value assessment, all value has been attributed to tangible assets. Second Empire will operate as a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The following tables summarize the fair values of consideration transferred and the fair values of identified assets acquired at the date of acquisition:

The acquired business contributed revenues of $1,740,173 and a loss of $414,938 to the Company for the period from November 6, 2024, to April 30, 2025. There wereno acquisition costs incurred.

Note 5 -Commodities Held by Broker

The Company has used, and intends to continue to use in a limited capacity, short term coffee futures and options contracts primarily for the purpose of partially hedging and minimizing the effects of changing green coffee prices and to reduce cost of sales.

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

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

The Company recorded realized and unrealized gains and losses respectively, on these contracts as follows:

Note 13 –Segment Information

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

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is Andrew Gordon, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director. The Company 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 (loss) that also is reported on statement of operations as consolidated income (loss) from operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

When evaluating the Company’s performance and making key decisions regarding resource allocation the CODM reviews the following key metrics:

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.
