Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policy

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY:

The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2019, which has been derived from our audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest shareholders’ annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 29, 2020 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 (“Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal and recurring nature adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of January 31, 2020, and results of operations for the three ended January 31, 2020 and the cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2020 as applicable, have been made.

The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries, Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO”), Sonofresco, LLC (“SONO”), Comfort Foods, Inc. (“CFI”) and Generations Coffee Company, LLC (“GCC”), the entity formed as a result of the Company’s joint venture with Caruso’s Coffee, Inc. The Company owns a 60% equity interest in GCC. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant Accounting Policy

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s significant accounting policy for revenue was updated as a result of the adoption of ASU Topic 606. The Company has adopted the new standard on November 1, 2018 and has used the modified retrospective method. The majority of the Company’s business is ship and bill. Based on our analysis, the Company did not identify a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at November 1, 2018. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the five-step model as prescribed by ASU 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 ASU 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. See Note 10 for revenue disaggregated by product line.

Share-Based Payment

The Company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured, as discussed below, on the grant date. The Company has granted stock options at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported by Nasdaq. Upon exercise of an option, the Company issues new shares of common stock out of its authorized shares.

The weighted-average fair value of options has been estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The fair value of each instrument is estimated on the grant date utilizing certain assumptions for a risk-free interest rate, volatility and expected remaining lives of the awards. The risk-free interest rate used is the United States Treasury rate for the day of the grant having a term equal to the life of the equity instrument. Beginning with the current year quarter, the fair value of stock-based payment awards issued was estimated using a volatility derived from comparable companies share price. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represents management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgement. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

The following assumptions were used as inputs to the Black Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of option granted during the quarter ended July 31 2019 which are currently being expensed over the requisite service period:

Expected Life	10 years
Risk free interest rate	2.42% ˗ 2.57	%
Expected volatility	43.0% ˗ 64.2	%
Expected dividend yield	0	%
Forfeiture rate	0	%

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective November 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). The new guidance increases transparency by requiring the recognition of right to use assets and lease liabilities on the statement of financial condition. The recognition of these lease assets and lease liabilities represents a change from previous US GAAP requirement, which did not require lease assets and lease liabilities to be recognized for most operating leases.

The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lease, have not significantly changed from previous US GAAP requirements.

On November 1, 2019, the effective date of ASC 842, existing leases of the Company were required to be recognized and measured. Additionally any leases entered into during the year were also required to recognized and measured. In applying ASC 842, the Company made an accounting policy election not to recognize the right of use assets and lease liabilities relating to short-term leases. Implementation of ASC 842 included an analysis of contracts, including real estate leases and service contracts to identify embedded leases, to determine the initial recognition of the right to use assets and lease liabilities, which required subjective assessment over the determination of the associated discount rates to apply in determining the lease liabilities.

The new standard provides a number of transition practical expedients, which the Company has elected, including:

● A “package of three” expedients that must be taken together and allow entities to (1) not reassess whether existing contracts contain leases, (2) carryforward the existing lease classification, and (3) not reassess initial direct costs associated with existing leases, and

● An implementation expedient which allows the requirements of the standard in the period of adoption with no restatement of prior periods.

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recording of operating lease right of use assets of $2,512,022 and operating lease liabilities of $2,705,484 at November 1, 2019.

The Company implemented ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach. In addition, at November 1, 2019, there was no impact to stockholder’s equity upon adoption.

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. The Company’s operating lease arrangement are comprised of real estate and facility leases. Right of use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right of use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate and the implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the measurement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The present value of the lease payments was determined using a 4.75% incremental borrowing rate. Right of use assets also exclude lease incentives.

The Company presents the amortization of its right to use assets and payments of related lease liabilities originating in connection with operating leases as an adjustment to reconcile net income or loss to net cash generated or used in operating activities and an operating cash outflow, respectively within the operating section of the statement of cash flows.

Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, we use the Company’s cost of capital based on existing debt instruments. Our material leases typically contain rent escalations over the lease term. We recognize expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Total expense for operating leases for the three months ended January 31, 2020 was $195,230 of which, $36,719 was included within cost of goods sold and $158,511 was recorded in the selling and administrative expenses. The aggregate cash payments under these leasing agreements was $149,188 for the three months ended January 31, 2020.
