FORMATION OF SUBSIDIARY

NOTE 4- FORMATION OF SUBSIDIARY:

 

On April 21, 2010, the Company formed a 100% owned subsidiary named Coffee Holding Acquisition Company, LLC in the state of Delaware.

 

On May 17, 2010 (the “Closing Date”), the Company and Coffee Holding Acquisition Company, LLC (the name of which was changed to Organic Products Trading Company LLC “OPTCO,” collectively, the “Buyer”) purchased substantially all of the assets, including fixed assets, inventory, trademarks, customer list and supply-chain relationships (the “Assets”) of Organic Products Trading Company, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Seller”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated April 22, 2010 (the “Agreement”).   The Buyer purchased the Assets for a purchase price consisting of: a) $450,000 in cash at closing, b) an additional $50,000 in cash if “OPTCO” generated a pre-tax net profit of $300,000 or more during the period from May 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011 (“Supplemental Cash Payment”), (c) 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock on the Closing Date, (d) up to an additional 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock if “OPTCO” generated a pre-tax net profit of $300,000 or more during the period from May 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011 (the “First Supplemental Common Stock Payment” and together with the Supplement Cash Payment, the “Supplemental Payment”); (e) up to an additional 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock if “OPTCO” generates a pre-tax net profit of $300,000 or more during the period from May 1, 2011, to April 30, 2012 (the “Second Supplemental Common Stock Payment”) and (f) an additional cash payment of $1,809,924 based on the cost of inventory transferred to Buyer on the Closing Date.

 

Since “OPTCO” met the first pre-tax net profit target, the Supplemental Cash Payment was made during the third quarter of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 and the First Supplemental Common Stock Payment was made during the fourth quarter for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011.  OPTCO did not satisfy the second pre-tax net target, and, therefore, the Second Supplemental Common Stock Payment will not be made.  The Agreement also indicated that commencing no sooner than six months from the Closing Date, the Company agreed, at the Seller’s request, to repurchase the common stock shares issued to the Seller for $4.00 per share regardless of the market value of the common stock at that time not to exceed the repurchase of 10,000 shares in any given year.  This provision was subsequently waived by the Seller for the fiscal year commencing on October 22, 2010 through October 21, 2011 (the “Waiver”) and we believe that, subsequent to the Waiver the seller sold the shares.

 

As part of the transaction, all of the employees of the Seller became employees of the Buyer.  The Buyer entered into two-year employment agreements commencing on May 14, 2010, with two of the Seller’s principals and executives, Garth Smith and Gaylene Smith, to ensure continuity of the business and to continue the operations of the business located in Vancouver, Washington.  The employment agreements, which included base pay for each of the executives in an amount equal to $150,000 and bonus eligibility, expired in May 2012.  The employment agreements were not renewed or extended.

 

The Buyer has also entered into confidentiality and non-compete agreements with seven employees and or executives of the Seller.  The non-compete agreements are in effect during their period of employment by the Buyer and continue for one year thereafter, whereby the employees and the executives agreed not to directly or indirectly engage in any activities competitive in nature with the business of the Company.

 

The Buyer also agreed to lease certain premises located in Vancouver, Washington from Seller for an annual rental of $31,800 plus certain common area charges with one month rent held as a security deposit for a two year period commencing June 1, 2010.  The lease expired in May 2012 and was not renewed.

 

On April 1, 2012, the Company leased a new premises in Vancouver, Washington from Spears Real Estate LLC with a three year term for an annual rent of $28,800 for the first year of the term, which expires on March 31, 2013.

 

The following table summarizes the allocation of the $2,594,924 purchase price utilizing the estimated fair values of the assets acquired at May 17, 2010.

 

Purchase price – cash   $ 2,259,924  
Contingent liability     41,000  
Contingent consideration     39,000  
Common stock, par value $.001 per share, 50,000 shares     50  
Additional paid-in Capital     254,950  
Total purchase price     2,594,924  
Equipment     15,000  
Inventory     1,809,924  
Customer list and relationships     150,000  
Trademarks     180,000  
Goodwill     440,000  
Total asset acquired   $ 2,594,924  

 

The $440,000 of goodwill and $330,000 of intangible assets, consisting of trademarks and customer relationships, are expected to be fully deductible for income tax reporting purposes. The values assigned to the customer list and relationships are being amortized over a twenty year period. Amortization expense was $7,500 and $3,750 for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The future amortization on the customer list and relationships will be $7,500 per year. Goodwill and trademark intangible assets were recorded at their fair value on the Closing Date and will be evaluated at least on an annual basis for impairment. Any future adjustments to the contingent liability for fair value will be recorded in the statement of income. As of October 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has determined that no adjustment was warranted to the contingent liability. The contingent consideration will not be remeasured each reporting period and any subsequent settlement will be accounted for in stockholders’ equity.
