Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial information, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the thirteen-week periodand twenty-six week periods ended AprilJuly 3, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period.

The Company’s fiscal year is either a fifty-two or fifty-three-week period which ends on the Saturday closest to December 31^st.

Note 2: Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”). ASUs not discussed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s balance sheets or statements of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this Update require a new topic to be added (Topic 326) to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and removes the thresholds that entities apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, trade receivables, reinsurance recoverables, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures, and held-to-maturity securities. Under current U.S. GAAP, entities generally recognize credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred. The guidance under ASU 2016-13 will remove all current recognition thresholds and will require entities under the new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost that an entity expects to collect over the instrument’s contractual life. The new CECL model is based upon expected losses rather than incurred losses. Additionally, the credit loss recognition guidance for available-for-sale securities is amended and will require that credit losses on such debt securities should be recognized as an allowance for credit losses rather than a direct write-down of amortized cost balance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the effect that this new guidance will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 4: Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company accounts for penalties or interest related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for income taxes.

Note 5: Earnings Per Share

Fully dilutedBasic net income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per common share have been computedis calculated by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, which would account for a potential 282,486 shares to be issued upon conversion. The convertible noteconversion and have been included for 282,486 shares was included in the calculation of fully diluted earnings. For the thirteen weeksperiods ended March 28, 2020, stock equivalents of 80,000 shares and a convertible note for 124,688 shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share calculations since the effect was anti-dilutive.July 3, 2021.

The Company intends to rely on a combination of multi-year performance awards, options and other stock-based awards for these purposes.

The 2014 Plan made 250,000 shares of common stock available for awards. The 2014 Plan also permits performance-based 2014 awards paid under it to be tax deductible under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as “performance-based compensation.” ThereNo stock options were issued in 2020 or 2021 and no stock options were outstanding as of AprilJuly 3, 2021.

Note 10: Leases

The Company is located in a one-story facility in Cranford, New Jersey. The 6,200 square foot facility houses its administrative offices, a warehouse, walk-in freezer and refrigerator, and a product development laboratory and test kitchen. The Company’s original lease agreement expired on July 1, 1999, but it continues to occupy the premises on a monthly basis. Any changes by either the landlord or the Company remains subject to a six-month notification period. The Company currently has no plans to enter into a long-term lease agreement for the facility. Rent expense was $20 in$20 for the thirteen weeks ended AprilJuly 3, 2021 and $19 in$19for the thirteen weeks ended March 28,June 27, 2020. Rent expense was $40 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 2021 and $38for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020. The Company’s management believes that the Cranford facility will continue to satisfy its space requirements for the foreseeable future and that if necessary, such space can be replaced without a significant impact to the business. The Company rents warehouse storage space at various outside facilities. Outside warehouse expenses amounted to $112 were $137 for the thirteen weeks ended AprilJuly 3, 2021 and $114 $113for the thirteen weeks ended March 28,June 27, 2020 and $249 or the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 2021 and $227for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020.

For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, the Company has combined the lease and non-lease components in determining the lease liabilities and right-of-use, or ROU, assets.

The Company’s lease agreements generally do not provide an implicit borrowing rate; therefore, an internal incremental borrowing rate is determined based on information available at lease commencement date for purposes of determining the present value of lease payments. The Company used the incremental borrowing rate on December 29, 2018 of 5.5%5.5% for all leases that commenced prior to that date.

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial statements.

The discussion and analysis which follows in this Quarterly Report and in other reports and documents and in oral statements made on our behalf by our management and others may contain trend analysis and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial results. These include statements regarding our earnings, projected growth and forecasts, and similar matters which are not historical facts. We remind stockholders that forward-looking statements are merely predictions and therefore are inherently subject to uncertainties and other factors which could cause the actual future events or results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These uncertainties and other factors include, among other things, business conditions in the food industry and general economic conditions, both domestic and international; lower than expected customer orders; competitive factors; changes in product mix or distribution channels; and resource constraints encountered in developing new products. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report and made elsewhere by or on our behalf should be considered in light of these factors.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The policies discussed below are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimation about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Specific risks for these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment.

Revenue Recognition. We primarily sell vegan and dairy-free soy-based cheeses, frozen desserts and other food products. We recognize revenue when control over the products transfers to our customers, deemed to be the performance obligation, which generally occurs when the product is shipped or picked up from one of our distribution locations by the customer. We account for product shipping, handling and insurance as fulfillment activities with revenues for these activities recorded within net revenue and costs recorded within cost of sales. Revenues are recorded net of trade and sales incentives and estimated product returns. Known or expected pricing or revenue adjustments, such as trade discounts, rebates or returns, are estimated at the time of sale. We base these estimates of expected amounts principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. Estimates that affect revenue, such as trade incentives and product returns, are monitored and adjusted each period until the incentives or product returns are realized.

Key sales terms, such as pricing and quantities ordered, are established on a frequent basis such that most customer arrangements and related incentives have a one year or shorter duration. As such, we do not capitalize contract inception costs and we capitalize product fulfillment costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP and our inventory policies. We generally do not have any unbilled receivables at the end of a period.

Accounts Receivable. The majority of our accounts receivablesreceivable are due from distributors (domestic and international) and retailers. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are most often due within 30 to 90 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and reserve for sales promotions. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. We determine whether an allowance is necessary by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, our previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. We write-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the bad debt expense account. We do not accrue interest on accounts receivable past due.

Inventory. Inventory is stated at lower of cost or net realizable value determined by first in first out (FIFO) method. Inventories in excess of future demand are written down and charged to the provision for inventories. At the point of which loss is recognized, a new, lower cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in the newly established cost basis.

Leases. Under Topic 842, operating lease expense is generally recognized evenly over the term of the lease. We have operating leases primarily consisting of facilities with remaining lease terms of approximately one to three years. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we have combined the lease and non-lease components in determining the lease liabilities and right of use assets.

Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded if there is uncertainty as to the realization of deferred tax assets. We will recognize a tax benefit in the financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if management’s assessment is that the position is “more likely than not” (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50 percent) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction based solely on the technical merits of the position. The term “tax position” refers to a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

Recent Developments

On February 24, 2021 David Mintz, our founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, passed away. Steven Kass, Chief Financial Officer, was appointed interim CEO by our Board of Directors and was confirmed as permanent CEO by the Board on April 27, 2021.

An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and has now spread globally. This outbreak has resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, layoffs, defaults and other significant economic impacts, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of this outbreak has adversely affected the economies of many nations and the entire global economy and may impact our Company in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. Other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future could have similar impacts. Public health crises caused by the outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally.

The current severity of the pandemic and the uncertainty regarding the length of its effects could have negative consequences for our company. To date, the effects of the pandemic have not materially affected certain aspects of our Company’s operations. All of our co-packing facilities are currently operating normally and the pandemic has not constrained any of our production requirements. We continue to be able to schedule trucks for delivery and a large majority of our customers are still operating and ordering our products as before.

Most The cost of certain key ingredients has increased substantially due to short-term supply issues related to COVID-19. Additionally, our administrative functions are being performed remotely. A small crew maintains the office for those functions that cannot be handled remotely.freight costs have increased due to a driver shortage caused by COVID-19. Our ability to collect money, pay bills, handle customer and consumer communications, schedule production, and order ingredients necessary for our production has not been impacted.

To date, the pandemic has had minimal impact on our sales. The majority of our sales relate to retail products sold in supermarkets. Supermarket sales in general have seen a substantial surge in business due to the pandemic, as consumers stock up on all products that they would normally purchase. The only negative effect to our business to date has been with respect to our food service sales to retail outlets, such as restaurants and small food shops, which account for a small part of our total business and with respect to our inability to regain our level of export sales to foreign jurisdictions. Our marketing efforts have also been constrained due to social distancing restrictions and other current government rules and regulations that preclude face to face sales meeting, attendance at trade shows and the initiation of new promotions.

To date we have not experienced a significant change in the timeliness of payments of our invoices and our cash position remains stable withof approximately $2,446,000 of cash$2,069,000 as of AprilJuly 3, 2021.2021 has improved since our fiscal year end

Depending on the length and severity of the pandemic, COVID-19 may ultimately have a significant impact on our operations and ability to maintain our current level of operations without a further infusion of capital, which may not be available to us.

Results of Operations

Thirteen Weeks Ended AprilJuly 3, 2021 Compared with Thirteen Weeks Ended March 28,June 27, 2020

Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended AprilJuly 3, 2021 decreased by $76,000,were $3,027,000, a decrease of $216,000, or 2%7%, to $3,150,000, from net sales of $3,226,000$3,243,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28,June 27, 2020. The decrease is mainly attributable to decreases in sales in our frozen desserts, frozen foods and vegan cheese categories. Sales of vegan cheese products decreased slightly to $2,497,000 in the 2021 period from $2,547,000 in the 2020 period due to manufacturing delays at our frozenco-packing facility for vegan cheese slices, which have since been resolved. Frozen dessert and frozen food products which consist primarily of frozen dessert products, increased slightlysales decreased by $166,000 to $430,000$530,000 in the thirteen weeks ended AprilJuly 3, 2021 from $412,000$696,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28,June 27, 2020. SalesThe decrease in frozen dessert sales was due to the discontinuance of our vegan cheese products decreased to $2,720,000Yours Truly cones and Marry Me bars in the second quarter of 2021 period from $2,814,000 in the 2021 period due to a decline in vegan cheese slice product sales resulting from production delays.the two products’ declining sales.

Our gross profit increased slightlydecreased to $1,001,000$758,000 in the periodthirteen weeks ended AprilJuly 3, 2021 from $996,000$1,015,000 in the periodthirteen weeks ended March 28, 2020.July 3, 2021. Our gross profit percentage was 32%25% for the periodthirteen weeks ending AprilJuly 3, 2021 compared to 31% for the thirteen weeks ending June 27, 2020. Our gross profit percentage was negatively impacted by our export cheese business accounting for a larger portion of our total vegan cheese business than in the same period ending March 28, 2020.last year. The gross profit on our vegan cheese export sales is significantly less than on our vegan cheese domestic sales. Sales allowances during the 2021 second quarter were $30,000 higher than in the 2020 second quarter. Additionally, sudden cost increases for ingredients due to COVID-related issues negatively impacted our gross profit. We anticipate these ingredient cost increases to continue for the balance of the year.

Our gross profit percentage was also negatively impacted by an increase in freight expense, which is a component of cost of sales. Freight out expense, a significant part of our cost of sales, decreasedincreased by $16,000,$42,000, or 7%19%, to $227,000$271,000 for the thirteen weeks ended AprilJuly 3, 2021 compared with $243,000 for the thirteen weeks March 28, 2020. Freight out expense decreased due to the slight decrease in sales. Freight out expense was 7% of sales$229,000 for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2021 compared to 8%June 27, 2020. As a percentage of sales, freight expense was 9% percent for the thirteen weeks ended March 28,July 3, 2021 compared to 7% percent for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2020. We anticipate thatOur freight out expense will continue atwas negatively impacted by a significant increase in freight rates caused by a shortage of drivers due to COVID-19 and the same percentagecontinued implementation of salesthe 2019 Electronic Logging Device rules and regulations, or ELD, which limit the number of hours a truck driver can drive in a 24-hour period for over the remainderroad carriers. We expect this increase in freight expense to continue for the balance of 2021.

Selling expenses increased by $16,000,$12,000, or 5%4%, to $323,000$303,000 for the thirteen weeks ended AprilJuly 3, 2021 from $307,000$291,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28,June 27, 2020. This increase was principally due to increases in outside warehouse rental expense of $24,000, bad debt expense of $10,000, and travel, entertainment and auto expense of $6,000, which were partly offset by decreases in payroll expense of $7,000 and commission expense of $20,000. We anticipate that our selling expenses will remain at the same level for the remainder of 2021.

Marketing expenses decreasedincreased by $55,000,$19,000, or 44%40%, to $70,000$66,000 for the thirteen weeks ended AprilJuly 3, 2021 from $125,000$47,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2020. The decrease wasJune 27, 2020, due primarily due to decreases in promotions expense of $54,000 and artwork and plates expense of $6,000, which were partially offset by an increase in advertising expense of $4,000.$17,000. We anticipate that our marketing expenses will remain at the same level for the remainder of fiscal 2021.

Research and development costs, which consist principally of salary expenses and laboratory costs, decreased by $51,000,$18,000, or 43%33%, to $39,000$36,000 for the thirteen weeks ended AprilJuly 3, 2021 from $90,000$54,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28,June 27, 2020, primarily due partially to decreases in payroll expense of $28,000, equipment repair$9,000 and lab costs and supplies expense of $14,000, uniform rental expense of $6,000, and professional fees and services of $9,000.$6,000. Because we do not anticipate that our research and development department will resume operations at the pre-COVID level in 2021, we expect that product development costs will remain constant or decline slightlysignificantly lower for the remainder of fiscal 2021.

General and administrative expenses increaseddecreased by $36,000,$88,000, or 9%21%, to $447,000$319,000 for the thirteen weeks ended AprilJuly 3, 2021 from $411,000$407,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2020, primarilyJune 27, 2020. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was due to ana decrease in payroll expense of $138,000, which was partially offset by increases in professional fees and outside services expense of $40,000 and IT expense of $10,000. The decrease in payroll expense was due to the elimination of Mr. Mintz’s salary at the start of the second quarter. The increase in professional fees and outside serviceservices expense was due to a one-time fee charged by our former accountants. The increase in IT expenses was due to an upgrade of our ransomware protection systems.

There was de-minimus income tax expense for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021.

Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 3, 2021 Compared with Twenty-Six Weeks Ended June 27, 2020

Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 2021 were $6,177,000, a decrease of $292,000, or 5%, from net sales of $6,469,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020. Sales of vegan cheese products decreased to $5,217,000 in the 2021 period from $5,361,000 in the 2020 period. Sales of our frozen dessert and frozen food products decreased to $960,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 2021 from $1,108,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2020. The decrease in our sales for the 2021 twenty-six week period was mostly due to the decrease in frozen dessert sales resulting from the discontinuance of our Yours Truly cones and Marry Me bars in the 2021 period due to the two products’ declining sales.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management’s evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes using the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of our control environment.

On February 24, 2021 David Mintz, our founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, passed away. Steven Kass, Chief Financial Officer, was appointed interim CEO by our Board of Directors and was confirmed as permanent CEO by the Board on April 27, 2021.

Based on the evaluation under the frameworks described above, Mr. Kass, our chief executive and chief financial officer, has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of AprilJuly 3, 2021 because of the following material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting:

To date, we have been unable to remediate these weaknesses, which stem from our small workforce of four persons at AprilJuly 3, 2021.2021. As of the date of this filing we employ five people.
