SUMMARY
Sales of the Company have eroded over the last fiveprior years primarily due to declines in the direct distribution sales method of the Company’s business (i.e., delivery by company truck). Increased competition, customer attrition and customers roasting green beans for their own use have all had a negative impact on the Company’s sales. TheIn the first quarter of this year the Company has triedis experiencing an increase in sales because one of its distributors had a fire which curtailed what they could roast in house. In addition, the Company continues to try a number of strategies that havemay or may not provenprove effective in abating these declines. The Company has changed its method of distribution to rely less on direct distribution (with only twothree routes) and instead uses independent distributors or shippingships direct (via UPS or other common carrier). In addition, the companyCompany is trying to focus on increasing ourits on-line sales with the main focus of promoting our award as “Roaster of the Year for 2017”, from Roast magazine.a continued emphasis on its presence in social media, growing its email list and linking its search optimization. The effecteffects of these changes on the Company’s sales has been limited but has reducedwill reduce distribution expenses. Because of the limited impact of these changes, as well as the changesincrease in cost of sales and other factors noted herein, there can be no assurances that the Company will be profitable in any future period, and, as a consequence, the Company is considering various strategic alternatives.
The Company pays substantially more for its green beans than the market price, because of the higher quality, the organic nature of many of its lines and the fact that it uses fair-traded coffees. Green bean costs have continued toremained stable but any rise and have placedwill place pressure on margins. If green bean costs do not declinecontinue as is or continue to rise, whether as a consequence of inclement weather in a major producing area or any other event that affects green bean pricing, and if the Company cannot offset costs by raising prices, it would have a negative impact on the Company and its margins.

The Company is dependent on successfully executing its business plan to achieve profitable operations, obtainobtaining additional sources of borrowings (including normal trade credit) and securing favorable financing arrangements (including lease financing) to finance its working capital needs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard. If the Company is not able to meet its credit obligations the stability of the Company’s business would be in question.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
From time to time, the Company enters into various transactions with its majority shareholders, Paul and Joan Katzeff. See Note “9 —“note “11 — Related Party Transactions” in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
SEASONALITY AND OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE
The Company’s business is seasonal in nature. The seasonal availability of green bean coffee in the first two quarters of the year and increased sales in the last quarter historically create a high use of cash and a build up in inventories in the first two quarters, with a corresponding decrease in inventory and increase in cash in the last quarter. In 2019 the Company continues to keep tight control on its inventory supply, resulting in less on hand in the first quarter of 2019.
Because of the seasonality of the Company’s business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year. Furthermore, past seasonal patterns are not necessarily indicative of future results.
INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by California law. The Company believes that indemnification under its Bylaws also permits the Company to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of whether California law would permit indemnification. The Company maintains such liability insurance for its directorsDirectors and certain officers and employees.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any director,Director, officer, employee or agent of the Company where indemnification would be required or permitted. The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or precedingproceeding that might result in a claim for such indemnification.
ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company’s stock is generally illiquid and there have been few trades in recent years. There have been two trades in the Company’s Common Stock since 1999. In June 2004, 750 shares were traded at $4.50 per share. In December 2005, 400 shares were traded at $2.00 per share.
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
