EXPLANATORY NOTE

Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (the “Company”) hereby amends its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 14, 2021 (the “Original Quarterly Report”), as set forth in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (the “Form 10-Q/A” or “Amended Quarterly Report”), to restate its financial statements and related disclosures as of and for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2020.

Restatement Background

The Company has determined that it made certain errors in the presentation of net sales and cost of sales in its consolidated statements of operations in the Company’s financial statements during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. The effect of these errors was to overstate net sales and cost of sales for the reported period. The Company therefore has found it necessary to file this Amended Quarterly Report to adjust the comparative periods presented. The errors and the required restatement had no effect on the Company’s net income or earnings per share or other items in the consolidated statement of operations as of any reporting date and had no impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, or consolidated statements of cash flows.

This Amended Quarterly Report sets forth the Original Quarterly Report, as modified and superseded where necessary to reflect the restatement and the related internal control considerations. Accordingly, the following items included in the Original Quarterly Report have been amended:

Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements
Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
  
Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures
Part II, Item 6, Exhibits

In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the Company is also including with this Amended Quarterly Report currently dated certifications of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 32.1). Except as discussed above and as further described in Note 2 in the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements, the Company has not modified or updated disclosures presented in this Amended Quarterly Report. Accordingly, the Amended Quarterly Report does not reflect events occurring after the Original Quarterly Report or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Information not affected by the restatement is unchanged and reflects disclosures made at the time of the filing of the Original Quarterly Report.

As a result of the restatement, the Company has concluded there was a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2021, and its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. See additional discussion included in Part I, Item 4 of this Amended Quarterly Report.

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 ofon 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 wholesale green coffee sales are included in the “green” revenue stream, and the Company’s private label and branded coffee sales are included in the “packaged revenue stream” and 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.

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.

NOTE 4 - 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 our cost of sales. The commodities held atby broker represent the market value of the Company’s trading account, which consists of options and futurefutures 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 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 increase earnings volatility in any particular period. We record all open contract positions on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value in the due from and due to broker line items and typically do not offset these assets and liabilities.

The Company has open position contracts held by the broker, which are summarized as follows:

SCHEDULE OF CONTRACTS HELD BY BROKER

  April

Future Contracts  53,925   (287,850)
Total Commodities $107,083  $(452,325)

 

The Company classifies its options and future contracts as trading securities and accordingly, unrealized holding gains and losses are included in the statement of operations as a component of cost of salesearnings and not reflected as a net amount as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

 

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

NOTE 9 - ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY (restated):

Approximately 23% and 24% of the Company’s sales were derived from six customers during the three and six months ended April 30, 2021, respectively. These customers also accounted for approximately $2,094,000 of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at April 30, 2021. Approximately 28% of the Company’s sales were derived from six customers during the three and six months ended April 30, 2020. These customers also accounted for approximately $3,557,000 of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at April 30, 2020. Concentration of credit risk with respect to other trade receivables is limited due to the short payment terms generally extended by the Company, by ongoing credit evaluations of customers, and by maintaining an allowance for doubtful accounts that management believes will adequately provide for credit losses.

Approximately 27% and 28% of the Company’s purchases were from six vendors for the three and six months ended April 30, 2021, respectively. These vendors accounted for approximately $386,000 of the Company’s accounts payable at April 30, 2021. Approximately 30% of the Company’s purchases were from six vendors for the three and six months ended April 30, 2020, respectively. These vendors accounted for approximately $971,000 of the Company’s accounts payable at April 30, 2020. Management does not believe the loss of any one vendor would have a material adverse effect of the Company’s operations due to the availability of many alternate suppliers.

Overview

 

We are an integrated wholesale coffee roaster and dealer in the United States and one of the few coffee companies that offers a broad array of coffee products across the entire spectrum of consumer tastes, preferences and price points. As a result, we believe that we are well-positioned to increase our profitability and endure potential coffee price volatility throughout varying cycles of the coffee market and economic conditions.

 

Our operations have primarily focused on the following areas of the coffee industry:

 

 the sale of wholesale specialty green coffee;
 the roasting, blending, packaging and sale of private label coffee;
 the roasting, blending, packaging and sale of our eight brands of coffee; and
 sales of our tabletop coffee roasting equipment.

17

 

Our operating results are affected by a number of factors including:

 

 the level of marketing and pricing competition from existing or new competitors in the coffee industry;
 our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers;
 our hedging policy;
 fluctuations in purchase prices and supply of green coffee and in the selling prices of our products; and
 our ability to manage inventory and fulfillment operations and maintain gross margins.

 

Our net sales are driven primarily by the success of our sales and marketing efforts and our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers. For this reason, we have made, and will continue to evaluate, strategic decisions to acquire and invest in measures that are expected to increase net sales. In addition to our acquisitions, in October 2020, we entered into an agreement to become a 49% owner in The Jordre Well, a CBD beverage company (“The Jordre Well”). Under the terms of the agreement with The Jordre Well, The Jordre Well will assist us in the development and commercialization of CBD-infused line extensions for the existing coffee brands within our portfolio, as well as launch new brands that are intended to serve consumer demand for non-coffee CBD-infused beverages and products. We believe these efforts will allow us to expand our business.

 

Our sales are affected by the price of green coffee. We purchase our green coffee from dealers located primarily within the United States. The dealers supply us with coffee beans from many countries, including Colombia, Mexico, Kenya, Indonesia, Brazil and Uganda. The supply and price of coffee beans are subject to volatility and are influenced by numerous factors which are beyond our control. For example, in Brazil, which produces approximately 40% of the world’s green coffee, the coffee crops are historically susceptible to frost in June and July and drought in September, October and November. However, because we purchase coffee from a number of countries and are able to freely substitute one country’s coffee for another in our products, price fluctuations in one country generally have not had a material impact on the price we pay for coffee. Accordingly, price fluctuations in one country generally have not had a material effect on our results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. Historically, because we generally have been able to pass green coffee price increases through to customers, increased prices of green coffee generally result in increased net sales, irrespective of sales volume.

-19-

 

The supply and price of coffee beans are subject to volatility and are influenced by numerous factors which are beyond our control. Historically, we have used, and intend to continue to use in a limited capacity, short-term coffee futures and options contracts primarily for the purpose of partially hedging the effects of changing green coffee prices. In addition, we acquired, and expect to continue to acquire, futures contracts with longer terms, generally three to four months, primarily for the purpose of guaranteeing an adequate supply of green coffee. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on options and futures contracts are reflected in our cost of sales. Gains on options and futures contracts reduce our cost of sales and losses on options and futures contracts increase our cost of sales. The use of these derivative financial instruments has generally enabled us to mitigate the effect of changing prices. We believe that, in normal economic times, our hedging policies remain a vital element to our business model not only in controlling our cost of sales, but also giving us the flexibility to obtain the inventory necessary to continue to grow our sales while trying to minimize margin compression during a time of historically high coffee prices.

However, no strategy can entirely eliminate pricing risks and we generally remain exposed to losses on futures contracts when prices decline significantly in a short period of time, and we would generally remain exposed to supply risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to any of our futures contracts. Although we have had net gains on options and futures contracts in the past, we have incurred significant losses on options and futures contracts during some recent reporting periods. In these cases, our cost of sales has increased, resulting in a decrease in our profitability or increase our losses. Such losses have and could in the future materially increase our cost of sales and materially decrease our profitability and adversely affect our stock price. If our hedging policy is not effective, we may not be able to control our coffee costs, we may be forced to pay greater than market value for green coffee and our profitability may be reduced. Failure to properly design and implement an effective hedging strategy may materially adversely affect our business and operating results. If the hedges that we enter do not adequately offset the risks of coffee bean price volatility or our hedges result in losses, our cost of sales may increase, resulting in a decrease in profitability or increased losses. As previously announced, as a result of the volatile nature of the commodities markets, we have and are continuing to scale back our use of hedging and short-term trading of coffee futures and options contracts, and intend to continue to use these practices in a limited capacity going forward.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. government in March 2020 and has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, mandated closures and stay-at-home orders, and created significant disruption of the financial markets. However, we are classified as an essential business and its factories continued to operate with little to no impact from the pandemic-related closures.

To date, we have experienced minimal disruption to our supply chain or distribution network, including the supply of green coffee beans, though it is possible that more significant disruptions could occur if the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact markets around the world. We are also working closely with all of our business partners. As a food producer, we are an essential service and almost all of our employees continue to work within our production and distribution facilities.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a material adverse impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended April 30, 2021, and it has resulted, and is expected to continue to result for at least the near and immediate term, in significant economic disruptions and changes to consumer behaviors in the United States, which, has impacted and is expected to continue to negatively impact our business. Many of our customers who purchase green coffee from us for use in cafés, restaurants and food service operations, were forced to temporarily suspend or close operations, adversely impacting our sales to customers in that segment. However, as sales to the café, restaurant and food service segment decreased in the quarter, sales to large wholesaler and retail customers increased, as there was a shift in buying and consumption of coffee products to this segment.

The continuing impact on our business, including the length and impact of stay-at-home orders and/or regional quarantines, labor shortages and employment trends, disruptions to supply chains, including our ability to obtain products from global suppliers, higher operating costs, the form and impact of economic stimulus and general overall economic instability, is uncertain at this time and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three and six months ended April 30, 2021.2023. Critical accounting policies and the significant estimates in accordance with such policies are regularly discussed with our Audit Committee. Those policies are discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies” in “Part II. Item 7.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (restated)

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Management, which includes our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to multiplethe existence of material weaknesses discussed below. Notwithstanding such material weaknesses, we believe thein our internal controls over financial information presented herein is materially correct and fairly presents the financial position and operating results of the quarter ended April 30, 2021.reporting.

 

As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K forMaterial Weakness Over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, management has identified material weaknesses asour controls were inadequate to prevent and detect misstatements of that date. The identified material weaknesses related to the accounting for stock-based compensation awards and inventoriesquantities of inventory at one of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, management determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.

 

We further concluded, based upon our restatement, that our annual financial statements duringDuring the fiscal year ended October 31, 20202021, we identified inappropriate system access controls over our financial reporting system. These controls were not designed to prevent or detect unauthorized changes to source information, or implement an appropriate level of segregation of duties. During this same period, we determined that we lacked adequate controls with respect to identifying and accounting for material contracts. This was evidenced by our failure to properly identify and account for a material lease amendment.

Further, during the year ended October 31, 2021, we determined that we lacked adequate controls with respect to physical custody of certain hardware, electronic and hard copy records of Generations Coffee and its component operation known as Steep n’ Brew following the Company’s relocation or vacating of certain premises used in the operations of that business unit. Accordingly, management determined that the foregoing were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses.

Additionally, on January 24, 2023, we concluded, after discussion with management, that our financial statements inaccurately accounted for certain intercompany eliminations in our consolidated statements of operations.operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020. As a result, we determined that there was an overstatement of net sales and cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations of approximately $8.3 million in our condensed consolidatedfinancial statements during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 which required a restatement of the previously issued financial statements for the three and six month periodsfiscal year ended April 30,October 31, 2020. This was due to inadequate design and implementation of controls to evaluate and monitor the presentation and compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America related to the statement of operations. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.

22

Notwithstanding such material weaknesses, we believe the financial information presented herein is materially correct and fairly presents the financial position and operating results of the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

Remediation Plan for the Material Weaknesses

As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, management has identified material weaknesses as of that date. A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. To remediate the material weakness,weaknesses identified above, we are initiating controls and procedures in order to:

 

 Reinforceeducating control owners concerning the importanceprinciples and requirements of each control, with a strong control environment,focus on those related to emphasizeuser access to our financial reporting systems impacting financial reporting;
developing and maintaining documentation to promote knowledge transfer upon personnel and function changes;
developing enhanced controls and reviews related to our financial reporting systems;
performing an in-depth analysis of who should have access to perform key functions within our financial reporting system that impact financial reporting and redesigning aspects of the technical requirements for controls that are designed, implemented and operating effectively andsystem to setbetter allow the appropriate expectationsaccess rights to be implemented.
cross referencing analysis to be completed on internal controls through establishing the related policies and procedures;a quarterly basis; and
 Review the processes for documenting and alerting key personnel, including our board members, officers, auditors and outside accountants,implementing additional levels of non-reoccurring events related to stock-based compensation awards to ensure such events are timely and adequately recorded and communicated to the appropriate parties.
We have replaced and hired new employees in the accounting department at the subsidiary where the inventory analysis issue occurred and have made upgrades to the computer systems at the subsidiary. Further, we hired a new director of finance at the subsidiary that is responsible for overseeing inventory counts and we are enhancing controls in the inventory business process over (i) inventory count procedures by requiring more frequent physical audits of our inventory, and (ii)internal review of inventoryfinancial statements and any adjustments and approvals.made thereto.

 

The material weaknesses identified above will not be considered remediated until our remediation efforts have been fully implemented and we have concluded that these controls are operating effectively.

 

Management does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Other than the changes intended to remediate the material weaknessesweakness as discussed above and in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2020,2022, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2021January 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
