BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

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’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 on 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 private label and branded coffee sales 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 during the quarter ended April 30, 2022 had begun a restructuring process with its Generations subsidiary. As part of this restructuring approximately $550,000 of its inventory was distributed to the non-controlling interest partner for $330,000 in cash. As part of the restructuring process, the Company recorded a write-down of obsolete inventory of $718,353 and a write-off of accounts receivable of $415,096.

 

On September 29, 2022, Coffee Holding Co., Inc, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Merger and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Delta Corp Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pubco”), Delta Corp Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales (“Delta”), CHC Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), and each of the holders of ordinary shares of Delta as named therein (the “Sellers”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the Company common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “JVA Common Stock”), will be cancelled and converted for the right of the holder thereof to receive one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 of Pubco (the “Pubco Ordinary Shares”).

 

Uncertainty Due to Geopolitical Events  

 

Due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which began in February 2022, and the resulting sanctions and other actions against Russia and Belarus, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy. Although Russia’s invasion of Ukraine did not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s revenue or other financial results for the year ended October 31, 2022, at this time the Company is unable to fully assess the aggregate impact will have on its business due to various uncertainties, which include, but are not limited to, the duration of the war, the war’s effect on the economy, its impact to the businesses of the Company’s customers, and actions that may be taken by governmental authorities related to the war.

 

 

COFFEE HOLDING CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OCTOBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ACTIVITIES (cont’d):

 

COVID-19

 

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.

 

The continuing impact on the Company’s business including the decrease in our sales, the length and impact of stay-at-home orders and/or regional quarantines, labor shortages and employment trends, disruptions to supply chains, including its ability to obtain products from global suppliers, higher operating costs, the form and impact of economic stimulus and general overall economic instability, has contributed to and may continue to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. At this time the full impact could not be fully determined.

 

Going Concern

 

For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $835,576 generated cashflows from operations of $652,083, had net working capital of $18.6 million and equity of $23.7 million. The Company’s line of credit of $ 9.6 million, becomes due in June 2024, for which the Company will seek to obtain a renewal of the financing arrangement. There are certain financial covenants that the Company is in violation. The Company has not received a waiver from the lender. The lender has reserved its right to exercise its rights and remedies at any time in its sole discretion. The uncertainties surrounding the ability to receive a waiver and extending its line of credit when it becomes due raise substantial doubt as to whether existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its obligations as they become due within twelve months from the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. The current balance outstanding as of February 8, 2024 is approximately $4.7 million. The Company continues to expand its customer base, which is expected to increase margins and profitability in future periods.  However, there can be no assurance of such continued success.
