Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Accounts subject to estimate and judgements are accounts receivable reserves, income taxes, intangible assets, contingent liabilities, operating and finance right ofto use assets and liabilities, and equity basedequity-based instruments. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash in investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of applicable government mandated insurance limit. At June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and December 31, 2020, trade receivables from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 38%33% and 22%46%, respectively, of total trade receivables. During the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, sales from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 50% and 27% of total sales, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, sales from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 46%49% and 42% of total sales, respectively.

 

The Company maintains cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. At June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the total cash in excess of these limits was $262,955$1,388,422 and $3,385,113,$4,555,032, respectively.

 

8

Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 842, “Leases”. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and short-term and long-term lease liabilities are included on the face of the consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are presented within other assets, and finance lease liabilities are presented within current and long-term liabilities.

 

ROU assets represent the right ofto use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, the Company has elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and it recognizes such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue upon product delivery. All of our products are shipped either same day or overnight or through longer shipping terms to the customer and the customer takes title to product and assumes risk and ownership of the product when it is delivered. Shipping charges to customers and sales taxes collectible from customers, if any, are included in revenues.

 

For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. A five-step analysis must be met as outlined in Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

 

Warehouse and logistic services revenue is primarily comprisescomprised of inventory management, order fulfilment and warehousing services. Warehouse & logistics services revenues are recognized at the point in time when the services are rendered to the customer.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Certain customer arrangements in the Company's business such as gift cards and e-commerce subscription purchases result in deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of performance. Gift cards issued by the Company generally have an expiration of five years from date of purchase. The Company records a liability for unredeemed gift cards and advance payments for monthly club memberships, as cash is received, and the liability is reduced when the card is redeemed or product delivered.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Basic net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while fully-diluted net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities consist of options.  The options are anti-dilutive due the Company’s net loss.and warrants to purchase common stock, and convertible debt. Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

 

The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the impact of outstanding stock options and warrants. Stock options and warrants for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculation.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021; we doadoption of this standard did not expect the adoption to have a material impacteffect on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This ASU reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible Preferred Stock. As well as amend the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. This standard is effective for us on January 1, 2022, including interim periods within such fiscal year. Adoption is either2022; adoption of this standard did not have a modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method of transition. We are currently assessing the impact the new guidance will havematerial effect on our consolidated financial statements.statements and related disclosures.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

 

Acquisition of Building

 

The Company owns a building and property located at 28411 Race Track Road, Bonita Springs, Florida 34135. The property consists of approximately 1.1 acres of land and approximately 10,000 square feet of combined office and warehouse space, and was purchased as part of a bank short sale. The Company moved its operations to these premises on July 15, 2013. The purchase price of the property was $792,758.

 

On May 14, 2015, the Company purchased a building and property located at 2528 S. 27th Avenue, Broadview, Illinois 60155. The property consists of approximately 1.33 acres of land and approximately 28,711 square feet of combined office and warehouse space. The purchase price of $914,350 was initially financed primarily by a draw-down of $900,000 on the Company’s credit facility with Fifth Third Bank, National Association (“Fifth Third Bank”). On May 29, 2015, a permanent financing facility was provided by Fifth Third Bank in the form of a loan in the amount of $980,000. $900,000 of this amount was used to pay the balance of the credit facility; the additional $80,000 was used for refrigeration and other improvements at the property. The interest on the loan is at the LIBOR rate plus 3.0%. The building is used for office and warehouse space primarily for the Company’s Artisan subsidiary. We have also recently completed an additional property improvement and upgrade buildout at the Artisan building which include a fully functional commercial test kitchen and training center and conference room. The test kitchen and training room is used by Artisan and other subsidiaries of the Company for the purposes of new product testing and development and approval, Quality Assurance and Quality Control as well as sales presentations and customer demonstrations. In addition, we added a packaging room to the Artisan building, which is built to FDA, FSMA and SQF food safety standards and purchased new, technologically advanced semi-automated fillers for the packaging room. The packaging room addition will allow for expansion of private label product lines as well as packing of organic, non GMO,non-GMO, diet specific and other specialty foods. The test kitchen, packaging room and additional improvements were financed by a loan from Fifth Third Bank.

 

Depreciation on the building and the related improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment began when the Company occupied the facility in October, 2015.

 

On November 8, 2019 the Company, through a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased a logistics and warehouse facility (the “Facility”) for $4.5 million. The Facility is approximately 200,000 square feet and is situated on approximately 15 acres in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania. The Facility’s appraised value by a third party appraisal firm in 20212022 was $9,400,000.$16,400,000. Related to the Facility purchase, the Company entered into a commercial loan agreement for both the purchase price and planned improvements to the Facility. The amount of the loan was $5,500,000, of which $3,600,000 had been utilized at June 30,December 31, 2021 in connection with the purchase of the Facility; the lender is Fifth Third Bank and the loan is secured by a mortgage on the property and other Company assets. The interest on the loan is LIBOR plus 2.75%, with interest only payments due through September 30, 2020, thereafter with principal amortized over 20 years with the balance due at maturity on September 2, 2025. Related to Facility purchase, the Company also acquired certain leases from certain tenants of the Facility, all of which were in good standing at the time of purchase. Depreciation on the building began when the Company commenced recognizing revenue from leasing and logistics services associated with the Facility. On October 5, 2020, the Company completed work to upgrade the Facility at a cost of $2,231,458 in order to better support the Company’s focus on e-commerce and logistics. Of the build out costs, $1,900,000 was funded by the loan described below (See Note 13).

8. INVESTMENTS

 

The Company has made investments in certain early stage food related companies which it expects can benefit from synergies with the Company’s various operating businesses. At June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 the Company has investments in seven food related companies in the aggregate amount of $286,725. The Company does not have significant influence over the operations of these companies.

 

The Company’s investments may take the form of debt, equity, or equity in the future including convertible notes and other instruments which provide for future equity under various scenarios including subsequent financings or initial public offerings. The Company has evaluated the guidance in ASC No. 325-20, “Investments – Other”, in determining to account for the investment using the cost method since the equity securities are not marketable and do not give the Company significant influence.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company converted accounts receivable in the amount of $15,000 and $30,000 into an equity investment in a food related company. During the six months ended June 30,March 31, 2021, the founder of one of the food related companies passed away in an untimely tragic accident, and as a result the food related company ceased operations and the Company recognized an impairment in the amount of $209,850 in connection with that investment.

 

9. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

The Company acquired certain intangible assets pursuant to the acquisitions through Artisan, Oasis, Innovative Gourmet, OFB, Haley, and M Innovations. These assets include non-compete agreements, customer relationships, trade names, internally developed technology, and goodwill. The Company has also capitalized the development of its website.

 

As detailed in ASC 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”, the Company tests for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. As detailed in ASC 350-20-35-3A, in performing its testing for goodwill impairment, management has completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. To complete this review, management followed the steps in ASC 350-20-35-3C to evaluate the fair value of goodwill and considered all known events and circumstances that might trigger an impairment of goodwill.

 

15

COVID-19 has had a material negative impact on some of the Company’s foodservice customers. In an effort to limit the spread of the virus, federal, state and local governments have implemented measures that have resulted in the closure of non-essential businesses in many of the markets the Company serves, which has forced its customers in those markets to either transition their establishments to take-out service, delivery service or temporarily cease operations. These actions have led to a significant decrease in demand for certain of the Company’s foodservice products. The adverse impact to the Company’s foodservice customer base was a triggering event and accordingly, as required by ASC 350, the Company performed interim goodwill and long-lived asset quantitative impairment tests during the first quarter of 2020. While the triggering event was a result of the negative impact related to foodservice customers, the applicable accounting rules then required an impairment test targeted specifically to any available carrying value of goodwill or intangible assets. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company performed the impairment tests on certain intangible assets and goodwill pursuant to the acquisitions through Artisan, Oasis, Innovative Gourmet and M Innovations.

15

Goodwill Impairment Test

The Company estimatedOFB and Haley were fully amortized at the fair valuetime of the Company’s reporting unit using an income approach that incorporates the use of a discounted cash flow model that involves many management assumptions that are based upon future growth projections which include estimates of COVID-19’s impact on our business. Assumptions include estimates of future revenues, growth rates which take into account estimated inflation rates, estimates of future levels of gross profit and operating profit, projected capital expenditures and discount rates based upon industry and competitor analyses. As a result of impairment test, it was calculated that the net carrying value of goodwill exceeded the fair value  by  $650,243, and the Company was required by ASC 350 to record an impairment charge to operations during the year ended December 31, 2020. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the net carrying value of goodwill on the Company’s balance sheet was $0.test.

 

Long-lived Impairment Test

 

Long-lived assets, including other intangible assets, were tested for recoverability at the asset group level. The Company estimated the net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset group over the expected useful life of the asset group’s primary asset. Key assumptions include future revenues, growth rates, estimates of future levels of gross profit and operating profit and projected capital expenditures necessary to maintain the operating capacity of each asset group. As a result of the impairment test, it was calculated that the net carrying values of other intangible assets exceeded the undiscounted cash flows for each of the Company’s asset groups by a total of $1,048,692, and the Company was required by the applicable accounting rules to record an impairment charge to operations during the year ended December 31, 2020. At June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the net carrying value of other intangible assets on the Company’s balance sheet was $1,627,462$1,594,809 and $1,633,202,$1,605,040, respectively.

 

The Company acquired certain intangible assets pursuant to the acquisitions through Artisan, Oasis, Innovative Gourmet, , OFB, Haley, and M Innovations. The following is the net book value of these assets:

Litigation

 

On September 16, 2019, an action (the “PA Action”) was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Trial Division, against, among others, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Innovative Gourmet LLC and Food Innovations, Inc. Since that time, other parties involved in the incident have joined as plaintiffs in the PA Action. The complaint in the PA Action alleges, inter alia, wrongful death and negligence by a driver employed by Innovative Gourmet and indicates a demand and offer to settle for 50 million dollars. We expect that should a settlement occur the amount to resolve the Action would be substantially lower. The Company and its subsidiaries had auto and umbrella insurance policies, among others, that were in effect for the relevant period The Company and its subsidiaries’ insurers have agreed to defend the Company and its subsidiaries in the PA Action (and the related action), subject to a reservation of rights. The Company believes that the likely outcome would result in the liabilities being covered by its insurance carriers. However, if the Company was found responsible for damages in excess of its available insurance coverage, such damages in excess of the coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations. On July 16, 2020, the court granted the Company's motion to stay the case through the final adjudication of an additional pending legal proceeding against the driver in connection with the events related to the case. Because the statute of limitations on the incident has now run, it is not anticipated that any new plaintiffs involved in the incident will come forward against the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

From time to time, the Company has become and may become involved in certain lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business, or as the result of current or previous investments, or current or previous subsidiaries, or current or previous employees, or current or previous directors, or as a result of acquisitions and dispositions or other corporate activities. The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our financial position or our business and the outcome of these matters cannot be ultimately predicted.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, as well as all other related notes, and financial and operational references, appearing elsewhere in this document.

 

Certain information contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is subject to the safe harbor created by that act. The safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act will not apply to certain “forward looking statements” because we issued “penny stock” (as defined in Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 3(a)(51-1) under the Exchange Act) during the three year period preceding the date(s) on which those forward looking statements were first made, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided by rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this Report or which are otherwise made by or on our behalf. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “explore”, “consider”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “could”, “estimate”, “plan”, “propose” or “continue” or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with:

 

Our ability to raise capital necessary to sustain our anticipated operations and implement our business plan,

Our ability to implement our business plan,

 

Our ability to generate sufficient cash to pay our lenders and other creditors,

 

Our dependence on one major customer,

Our ability to employ and retain qualified management and employees,

 

Our dependence on the efforts and abilities of our current employees and executive officers,

 

Changes in government regulations that are applicable to our current or anticipated business,

 

Changes in the demand for our services and different food trends,

 

The degree and nature of our competition,

 

The lack of diversification of our business plan,

 

The general volatility of the capital markets and the establishment of a market for our shares, and

 

Disruption in the economic and financial conditions primarily from the impact of past terrorist attacks in the United States, threats of future attacks, police and military activities overseas and other disruptive worldwide political and economic events, health pandemics, rising inflation and environmental weather conditions.

 

We are also subject to other risks detailed from time to time in our other filings with the SEC and elsewhere in this report. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, operating right of use assets and liabilities, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Accounts subject to estimate and judgements are accounts receivable reserves, income taxes, intangible assets, contingent liabilities, and equity basedequity-based instruments. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

 

Provision for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

 

The Company maintained an allowance in the amount of $367,793$373,828 for doubtful accounts receivable at June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, and $343,832$375,931 at December 31, 2020.2021. The Company has an operational relationship of several years with our major customers, and we believe this experience provides us with a solid foundation from which to estimate our expected losses on accounts receivable. Should our sales mix change or if we develop new lines of business or new customers, these estimates and our estimation process will change accordingly. These estimates have been accurate in the past.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The estimated fair values approximate their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments or the stated interest rates are indicative of market interest rates. These fair values have historically varied due to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of valuation.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and short-term and long-term lease liabilities are included on the face of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are presented within other assets, and finance lease liabilities are presented within accrued liabilities.

 

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, the Company has elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and it recognizes such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This discussion may contain forward looking-statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from the forward looking-statements discussed in this report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in the report.

 

The world has been emerging from the grip of a coronavirus pandemic, which began in 2020 and  has wreaked havoc on economies world-wide, including in the U.S., which is our primary market. As a result of the pandemic, restaurants, hotels, country clubs, casinos, catering houses and other of our primary customers have either been closed completely or are only partially open with significantly reduced operations. Accordingly, foodservice revenues, which historically have been a significant overall portion of our revenues, have been significantly reduced as most foodservice establishments across the United States closed or had limited operations. As a result, foodservice revenues starting in the second half of March 2020 and continuing through the first quarter of 2021 experienced unprecedented declines. As the pandemic has begun to decline in the United States and establishments have begun to reopen, we have experienced improving foodservice revenues starting in the second quarter of 2021 although our revenues have not yet reached previous historical levels.

Conversely, we have experienced significant growth in our on-line e-commerce revenues as overall e-commerce grew as demand for food products continued across the United States. Accordingly, we have focused our resources on meeting the growth of e-commerce revenues.

The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to an increase in specialty foodservice revenues which was driven by the nationwide opening of restaurants and other foodservice establishments previously affected by COVID-19. As moreCOVID-19 as well as increases in travel related foodservice establishments, and restaurants have re-opened we have experienced improving foodservice revenues, although revenues still remain slightly below historical levels.restaurant dining. The increase in specialty foodservice revenue was partially offset with decreases mainly associated within e-commerce revenues. Thoughrevenues, though e-commerce revenue remainremains significantly above pre-pandemic historical levels, thelevels. The decreases in e-commerce revenues  during the current period were the result ofrelated to decreases in COVID-19 driven demand in 20212022 compared to 2020.2021 partially driven by the continued re-opening of bricks and mortar stores, and also driven by lower recognized revenue in the first quarter of 2022, due to a decline in the value of  recognized deferred revenue related revenues associated with items ordered in the 4th quarter of  the prior year but delivered in the first quarter of the following year.

 

We continue to assess the potential of new revenue sources from the manufacture and sale of proprietary food products, private label products and additional sales channel opportunities in both the foodservice and consumer space and will implement a strategy which based on our analysis provides the most beneficial opportunity for growth.

Any changes in the food distribution and specialty foods operating landscape that materially hinders our current ability and/or cost to deliver our products to our customers could potentially cause a material impact on our net revenue and gross margin and, therefore, our profitability and cash flows could be adversely affected.

 

Currently, a small portion of our revenues comes from imported products or international sales. Our current sales from such markets may be hampered and negatively impacted by any economic tariffs that may be imposed in the United States or in foreign countries.

Gross margins as a percentage of sales decreaseddeclined during the current period to 27.3%23.8% compared to 27.7%27.1% during the comparable period, primarily due to variation in product and revenue mix across our various selling channels.  In addition, increases in fuel costs and fuel surcharges associated with the higher cost of fuel in the United States contributed to the decline in gross margins as a percentage of sales.

 

In 2021,2022, we continuedcontinue to price our products in order to increase sales, gain market share and increase the number of our end users and customers.

Revenue increased by $851,894 or approximately 3.4% to $26,155,463 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $25,303,569 in the prior year.  The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to an increase in specialty foodservice revenues which was driven by the nationwide opening of restaurants and other foodservice establishments previously affected by COVID-19. As more foodservice establishments and restaurants have re-opened we have experienced accelerated improvements in foodservice revenues, although revenues still remain below historical levels. The increase in specialty foodservice was partially offset with revenues decreases mainly associated with e-commerce revenues. Though e-commerce revenue remain significantly above historical levels, the decreases during the current period were the result of decreases in COVID-19 pandemic driven demand in 2021 compared to 2020.

20212022 Plans

 

Since 2020 the world has been in the grip of a pandemic which has wreaked havoc on economies world-wide, including in the U.S., which is our primary market. As a result of the pandemic, restaurants, hotels, country clubs, casinos, catering houses and other of our primary customers have either been closed completely or are only partially open with significantly reduced operations. Accordingly, foodservice revenues, which historically have been a significant overall portion of our revenues have been significantly reduced as most foodservice establishments cross the United States closed or had limited operations. As a result, foodservice revenue commencing in the second half of March 2020 and continuing throughout the year and into 2021, experienced unprecedented declines. AsIn 2022, as the pandemic has begun to decline in the United States and foodservice establishments have begun to reopen and travel has resumed, we have experienced improvingstrong foodservice revenue growth. Concurrently, while ecommerce revenues although ourremained above pre-pandemic historical levels, lower deferred revenues have not yet reached its previous historical levels. While the declinerecognized in the pandemicfirst quarter of 2022 and decreases in COVID-19 driven demand in 2022 compared to 2021 partially driven by the continued re-opening of bricks and mortar stores, resulted in a decline ofimpacted e-commerce revenues compared to the comparable quarter in 2020, ecommerce revenues remained significantly above pre-pandemic historical levels.

32

In April 2020 we applied for and received a loan of approximately $1.6 million under a program established under a recent congressionally approved program which is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. In 2021 we applied for and received $1,748,414 in new loans under a similar government program administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. In addition, between the government loans, the potential forgiveness of the remaining government loans, cash on hand, access to outside capital,  and our current expectations of incoming revenues, we believe we have sufficient resources to continue operating for at least the next 12 months. However, inasmuch as we cannot predict the timing of quarantines, curfews, stay in place orders, and closures of non-essential businesses and the effect of the pandemic on general economic activities, we cannot predict the trajectory of the pandemic and the amount of economic stress we could experience if the pandemic were to worsen in the United States and worldwide. While we intend to continue to focus on executing on our strategic growth plans, given the current economic conditions, we are not able to determine the exact timeframe in 2021, if at all, that we can then again consider fully implementing portions of the plans described below.     revenues.

 

During 2021,2022, we plan to expand our business by expanding our focus to additional specialty foods markets and by leveraging our e-commerce platform to launch and grow, either organically and/or through acquisition, new D2C brands and e-commerce sites within targeted consumer areas, on the Company’s e-commerce platform. In addition, we will continue exploring potential acquisition and partnership opportunities with influencers and other celebrities to continue to extend our focus in the specialty food market through the growth of the Company’s existing sales channels and through a variety of additional potential sales channel relationships. In addition, we are currently exploring the introduction of, or have introduced into the market, a variety of new product categories and new product lines, including private label products and proprietary branded products to leverage our existing foodservice and consumer customer base.

 

Furthermore, the Company intends to continue to expand its activities in the direct to consumerdirect-to-consumer space and the overall consumer packaged goods (CPG) space through leveraging its overall capabilities in the consumer space, including leveraging its direct to consumer e-commerce platform to reach both additional customers in multiple channels, and to expand availability of its e-commerce capabilities to additional products and markets.

 

No assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented that they will necessarily yield positive results.

 

33

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Inflation

 

In the opinion of management, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of its operations.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

The Company’s business and success is subject to numerous risk factors as detailed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 and other of its Current Reports on Form 8-K, all of which reports are available at no cost at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, among other things, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) under the Exchange Act.) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, have identified a control deficiency regarding the integration of two acquisitions in 2018 and as a result management has concluded our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective at June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 at the reasonable assurance level. Management of the Company believes that this deficiency is primarily due to the smaller size of the company’s accounting staff in relation to certain continued system integrations related to the 2018 acquisitions of certain assets of igourmet LLC and Mouth Foods, Inc. To address this matter, we have expanded our accounting staff and we expect to retain additional qualified personnel to continue to remediate this control deficiency in the future. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).

 

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15 that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On September 16, 2019, an action (the “PA Action”) was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Trial Division, against, among others, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Innovative Gourmet LLC and Food Innovations, Inc. Since that time, other parties involved in the incident have joined as plaintiffs in the PA Action. The complaint in the PA Action alleges, inter alia, wrongful death and negligence by a driver formerly employed by Innovative Gourmet, and indicatesplaintiffs filed a demand and offer to settle for fifty million dollars. We expect that should a settlement occur, the amount to resolve the Action would be substantially lower. The Company, and its subsidiaries, and their employees had auto and umbrella insurance policies, among others, that were in effect for the relevant period. The Company and its subsidiaries’ insurers have agreed to defend the Company, and its subsidiaries and the driver in the PA Action (and the related action)actions), subject to a reservation of rights. The Company believes that the likely outcome would result in the liabilities being covered by its insurance carriers. However, if the Company was found responsible for damages in excess of its available insurance coverage, such damages in excess of the coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations. On July 16, 2020, the court granted the Company's motion to stay the case through the final adjudication of an additional pending legal proceeding against the driver in connection with the events related to the case. It is not anticipated that the Company and its subsidiaries will be a party to any other legal proceedings in connection with this matter. Because the statute of limitations on the incident has now run, it is not anticipated that any new plaintiffs involved in the incident will come forward against the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

From time to time, the Company has become and may become involved in certain lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business, or as the result of current or previous investments, or current or previous subsidiaries, or current or previous employees, or current or previous directors, or as a result of acquisitions and dispositions or other corporate activities. The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our financial position or our business, and the outcome of these matters cannot be ultimately predicted.
