COFFEE HOLDING CO., INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note1 - 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:

WholesaleGreen Coffee: unroasted raw beans imported from around the world and sold to large and small roasters and coffee shop operators;

PrivateLabel 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,

BrandedCoffee: 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.

On

September 29, 2022, 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 “Common Stock”), was 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”). There was a shareholder vote in April 2024 on the Merger Agreement that did not pass. An additional vote is expected to occur before the end of fiscal 2024.

GoingConcern and Liquidity

The

Company’s line of credit will become due June 30, 2024, for which the Company is seeking to obtain a renewal of the financing arrangement prior to its maturity date. The agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants computed on a quarterly and annual basis. In previous periods the Company was not in compliance with these requirements. However, a waiver of all past defaults was received on May 24, 2024. As of April 30, 2024, the Company is in compliance with those financial covenants. The current balance outstanding as of April 30, 2024 was $3.0 million. Until such time as the line of credit is renewed, this uncertainty continues to raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the ability to meet its obligations as they become due within the twelve months from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Note2 – Basis Of Presentation And Significant Accounting Policy

The Company’s fiscal year ends on October 31, of each calendar year. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The October 31, 2023 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data in this document was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended October 31, 2023 and notes thereto included in the Company’s fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 9, 2024 (the “2023 10-K”). The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Company’s subsidiaries, Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO”), Sonofresco, LLC (“SONO”), and Comfort Foods, Inc. (“CFI”). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

SignificantAccounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our 2023 10-K, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three and six months ended April 30, 2024.

RevenueRecognition

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.

The following table presents revenues by product line for the three and six months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023:

RecentAccounting Pronouncements – Adopted

The Company follows the FASB Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). This guidance requires entities to use a current expected credit loss impairment model rather than incurred losses. The Company considers factors such as credit quality, age of balances, historical experience and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company’s expectation of collectability in determining allowance for credit losses. The standard became effective for the Company on November 1, 2023. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

RecentAccounting Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted

In October 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements – Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.” This standard affects a wide variety of Topics in the Codification. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting – Improving Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280).” The standard is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. The standard requires disclosure to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM, a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. The standard also requires all annual disclosures currently required by ASC Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” a final standard on improvements to income tax disclosures, The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and should be applied prospectively.

Note4 - 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 cost of sales.

The commodities held by broker represent the market value of the Company’s trading account, which consists of options and futures 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 level 1 investments 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 impact earnings volatility in any particular period. The Company records all open contract positions on the condensed 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.

Note6 – Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed for temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The income tax provision or benefit is the tax incurred for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

As of April 30, 2024 and October 31, 2023, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits or open tax positions. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of April 30, 2024 and October 31, 2023, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to income taxes. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress.

The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return and California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia state tax returns.

Note7 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company presents “basic” and “diluted” earnings per common share pursuant to the provisions included in the authoritative guidance issued by FASB, “Earnings per Share,” and certain other financial accounting pronouncements. Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of potential sources of dilution.

The

weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share were 5,708,599 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company had granted 1,000,000 options in the second quarter of 2019, which have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive nature, as the options were out of the money (the exercise price is higher than the market price).

Note8 - Commitments And Contingencies

LegalProceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are not involved in any pending proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to their business. Management believes none of these proceedings, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on the business or financial condition of the Company or its subsidiaries.

We have based these forward-looking statements upon information available to management as of the date of this Form 10-Q and management’s expectations and projections about future events, including, among other things:

● our<br> dependency on a single commodity could affect our revenues and profitability;
● our<br> success in expanding our market presence in new geographic regions;
● the<br> effectiveness of our hedging policy may impact our profitability;
● the<br> success of our joint ventures;
● our<br> success in implementing our business strategy or introducing new products;

● our<br> ability to obtain additional financing;
● our<br> ability to comply with the restrictive covenants we are subject to under our current financing;
● the<br> effects of competition from other coffee manufacturers and other beverage alternatives;
● the<br> impact to the operations of our Colorado facility;
● general<br> economic conditions and conditions which affect the market for coffee;
● our<br> expectations regarding, and the stability of, our supply chain, including potential shortages<br> or interruptions in the supply or delivery of green coffee;
● the<br> macro global economic environment;
● our<br> ability to maintain and develop our brand recognition;
● the<br> impact of rapid or persistent fluctuations in the price of coffee beans;
● fluctuations<br> in the supply of coffee beans;
● the<br> volatility of our common stock; and
● other<br> risks which we identify in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the<br> “SEC”).

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate” and similar expressions (or the negative of such expressions). Any or all of our forward looking statements in this quarterly report and in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. In addition, we undertake no responsibility to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this quarterly report.

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

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

● the<br> level of marketing and pricing competition from existing or new competitors in the coffee<br> industry;
● our<br> ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers; 
| 1 |

| --- | | ● | our<br> hedging policy; | | --- | --- | | ● | fluctuations<br> in purchase prices and supply of green coffee and in the selling prices of our products;<br> and | | ● | our<br> 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.

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.

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.

RecentDevelopments

On September 29, 2022, Coffee Holding Co., Inc, a Nevada corporation (“JVA”), entered into a Merger and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among JVA, 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 JVA, with JVA surviving as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger”). On June 29, 2023, JVA, Pubco, Delta, Merger Sub and the Sellers entered into Amendment 1 to the Merger Agreement (the “First Amendment”). On January 4, 2024, JVA, Pubco, Delta, Merger Sub and the Sellers entered into Amendment 2 to the Merger Agreement (the “Second Amendment”).

| 2 |

| --- |

As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of JVA 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”).

As a condition to the Merger, Pubco shall also acquire all of the issued and outstanding Delta securities from the Sellers in exchange for Pubco Ordinary Shares (the “Exchange” and, collectively with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). As a result of the Transactions, JVA and Delta will each become direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Pubco, with JVA stockholders receiving approximately $31.5 million (or 4.79%) worth of Pubco Ordinary Shares (the “Merger Consideration”) and Delta stockholders receiving approximately $625 million (or 95.21%) worth of Pubco Ordinary Shares (the “Exchange Consideration” and collectively with the Merger Consideration, the “Business Combination Consideration”), subject to certain adjustments, at an implied diluted value per share of $5.50. The Business Combination Consideration may be adjusted if Delta closes certain acquisitions prior to the closing of the Transactions. The Merger Agreement also includes an earn-out to existing stockholders of Delta, consisting of $50 million of additional Pubco Ordinary Shares, which will be released to Delta stockholders if and when Delta achieves $70 million or greater of net income for fiscal year ending 2023.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Merger Effective Time”), each award of options to purchase JVA Common Stock (each, a “JVA Stock Option”) that is outstanding, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and substituted with option(s) to purchase Pubco Ordinary Shares to be granted under the Pubco equity plan (the “Substituted Options”). The Substituted Options will represent the right to purchase that number of shares of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to the number of shares of JVA Common Stock underlying such JVA Stock Option immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time with a per-share exercise price of such Substituted Option equal to the exercise price per JVA Common Stock subject to such JVA Stock Option immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time.

Prior to execution of the Merger Agreement, JVA’s board of directors (the “Board”) unanimously (i) determined that the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Merger and Transactions, are fair, advisable to and in the best interests of JVA and its stockholders, (ii) approved the Merger Agreement and related Transactions, (iii) directed that the adoption of the Merger Agreement be submitted to a vote at a meeting of the stockholders of JVA, and (iv) resolved to recommend that JVA’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement.

JVA, Pubco, Delta and the Sellers have made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and have agreed to customary covenants regarding the operation of their respective businesses prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby. Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, without limitation, (i) approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder by a majority of JVA’s stockholders (the “JVA Stockholder Approval”), (ii) the absence of any law or order that prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Transaction, (iii) obtaining all requisite governmental authorizations, (iv) effectiveness of the Registration Statement of Pubco on Form F-4, and (v) approval of the listing of Pubco Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

From the date of the Merger Agreement until October 19, 2022 (the “Go-Shop Period”), JVA had the right to initiate, solicit, facilitate and encourage any inquiry or the making of any proposals or offers that would constitute an acquisition proposal involving more than fifteen percent (15%) of JVA’s assets or outstanding shares of common stock or in which the stockholders of JVA immediately preceding the contemplated transaction would hold less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the voting equity interest of the surviving company (each or any combination of the foregoing, a “Takeover Proposal”), including by way of providing access to non–public information to any third party pursuant to a non-disclosure agreement. Following the expiration of the Go-Shop Period, JVA ceased such activities and be subject to customary “no-shop” restrictions on its ability to solicit a Takeover Proposal from third parties and to provide non-public information to and engage in discussions with a third party in relation to a Takeover Proposal, except that JVA may continue to engage in the aforementioned activities with third parties from whom JVA has received a Takeover Proposal that the Board has determined constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined below) and has determined that the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with the Board’s fiduciary duties.

Prior to obtaining JVA Stockholder Approval, the Board may change its recommendation that stockholders vote to adopt the Merger Agreement (a “Change in Recommendation”) (i) in response to any material event or change in circumstances with respect to JVA that was not actually known or reasonably foreseeable by JVA prior to the date of the Merger Agreement (an “Intervening Event”) that the Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to change its recommendation in such circumstances would be reasonably likely to violate its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of JVA under applicable law or (ii) if JVA has received a Takeover Proposal involving more than fifty percent (50%) of JVA’s assets or outstanding shares of common stock or in which the stockholders of JVA immediately preceding the contemplated transaction would hold less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting equity interest of the surviving company, that the Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms and, among other things, if consummated, would be more favorable from a financial point of view to JVA’s stockholders than the Transactions (a “Superior Proposal”) (in which case JVA may also terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into such Superior Proposal, subject to certain conditions including payment of the JVA Termination Fee, as described below).

| 3 |

| --- |

Before the Board may change its recommendation in connection with an Intervening Event or a Superior Proposal, or terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a Superior Proposal, JVA must provide Delta prompt written notice of its decision to make a Change in Recommendation and for at least five (5) business days after such notice, JVA will negotiate with Delta to enable Delta to revise the terms of the Merger Agreement so that the Takeover Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal. Each time modifications to any material term of such alternative acquisition proposal determined to be a Superior Proposal are made, JVA must notify Pubco of such modification and such five (5) business day period will recommence.

The Merger Agreement may be terminated by each of Delta and of JVA under certain circumstances, including, among others by either Delta or JVA if the Merger has not been consummated by April 1, 2024 (the “Outside Date”). If the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, including, among others, as a result of breach by either JVA or Delta of their respective representations, warranties or covenants in the Merger Agreement, whereby JVA or Delta, respectively, may be entitled to a termination fee in the amount of $750,000 plus disbursements of all documented, out-of-pocket expenses up to $250,000. In addition, if JVA terminates the Merger Agreement to accept a Takeover Proposal or the Board (i) adversely changes its recommendation to the stockholders of JVA regarding the adoption of the Merger Agreement or (ii) supports the approval of any JVA Takeover Proposal, then Delta shall be entitled to a termination fee of $1.3 million and plus a disbursement of reasonable expenses up to $2 million (the “JVA Termination Fee”).

The equityholders of Delta and JVA will have certain customary registration rights with respect to the Pubco Ordinary Shares to be received in the transaction pursuant to the terms of a registration rights agreement, dated September 29, 2022 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

On September 29, 2022, concurrently with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Delta, Pubco and JVA entered into Voting and Support Agreements (the “JVA Voting Agreement”) with Andrew Gordon, President and Chief Executive Officer of JVA, and David Gordon, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of JVA, pursuant to which Messrs. Gordon have agreed to vote in favor of adopting the Merger Agreement and the related transactions as contemplated thereunder. JVA Voting Agreements will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the mutual written consent of each of Delta, Pubco, JVA and Messrs. Gordon, (ii) the Merger Effective Time, and (iii) the date of termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. There was a shareholder vote in April 2024 on the Merger Agreement that did not pass. An additional vote is expected to occur before the end of fiscal 2024.

NetSales. Net sales totaled $18,995,913 for the three months ended April 30, 2024, an increase of $3,675,210, or 24%, from $15,320,703 for the three months ended April 30, 2023. The increase in net sales was due to increased sales to new private label customers.

Costof Sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended April 30, 2024 was $15,291,933, or 80.5% of net sales, as compared to $12,488,522, or 81.5% of net sales, for the three months ended April 30, 2023, an increase of $2,803,411. Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of green coffee and packaging materials and realized and unrealized gains or losses on hedging activity. This increase was due to higher green coffee costs during the period.

GrossProfit. Gross profit for the three months ended April 30, 2024 amounted to $3,703,980 or 19.5% of net sales, as compared to $2,832,181 or 18.5% of net sales, for the three months ended April 30, 2023. The increase in gross profits on a percentage and dollar basis was attributable to the factors listed above.

OperatingExpenses. Total operating expenses increased by $553,995 to $3,770,630 for the three months ended April 30, 2024 from $3,216,635 for the three months ended April 30, 2023. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $557,831 and officers’ salaries decreased by $3,836. The increase in selling and administrative expenses was due to higher payroll costs, professional fees, and insurance expense, partially offset by decreases in medical expenses. automobile costs, and advertising costs.

The decrease in other expense was attributable to a decrease in interest expense of $45,853, and an increase in our interest income of $34,400, partially offset by an increase in our loss from our equity investments of $10,310 during the three months ended April 30, 2024.

IncomeTaxes. Our benefit for income taxes for the three months ended April 30, 2024 totaled $77,632 compared to a benefit of $148,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2023.

OtherIncome (Expense). Other expense for the six months ended April 30, 2024 was $156,373, an increase of $134,658 from $21,715 for the six months ended April 30, 2023. The increase was attributable to a decrease in other income of $234,041 due to an insurance claim, partially offset by a decrease in our interest expense of $58,780 and an increase in our interest income of $31,300, during the six months ended April 30, 2023.

IncomeTaxes. Our expense for income taxes for the six months ended April 30, 2024 totaled $64,705 compared to a benefit of $315,250 for the six months ended April 30, 2023.

Net(Loss) Income. We had net income of $329,183 or $0.06 per share basic and diluted, for the six months ended April 30, 2024 compared to a net loss of $891,943, or $0.16 per share basic and diluted for the six months ended April 30, 2023. The increase in net income was due primarily to the reasons described above.

Liquidity,Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of April 30, 2024, we had working capital of $18,723,150, which represented a $122,888 increase from our working capital of $18,600,262 as of October 31, 2023. Our working capital increased primarily due to the decrease of the outstanding balance on our line of credit to $3,000,000 from $9,620,000 as of April 30, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively, along with a decrease of $982,781 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and a $572,725 increase in due from broker. This is offset by a $306,288 decrease in cash and cash equivalents, a $589,995 decrease in accounts receivable, a $3,474,176 decrease in inventories, a $76,151 decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $102,023 increase in due to broker and a $371,584 increase in lease liability – current portion.

On April 25, 2017 the Company and OPTCO (together with the Company, collectively referred to herein as the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “A&R Loan Agreement”) and Amended and Restated Loan Facility (the “A&R Loan Facility”) with Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”), which was later acquired by Webster Financial Corp. (“Webster”), which consolidated (i) the financing agreement between the Company and Sterling, dated February 17, 2009, as modified, (the “Company Financing Agreement”) and (ii) the financing agreement between Company, as guarantor, OPTCO and Sterling, dated March 10, 2015 (the “OPTCO Financing Agreement”), amongst other things.

On June 28, 2022, we reached an agreement for a new loan modification agreement and credit facility with Webster. The terms of the new agreement, among other things: (i) provided for a new maturity date of June 30, 2024, and (ii) changed the interest rate per annum to SOFR plus 1.75% (with such interest rate not to be lower than 3.50%). All other terms of the A&R Loan Agreement and A&R Loan Facility remained the same.

On March 15, 2023, the A&R Loan Agreement was also modified to, among other things: (i) provide for a requirement for subordination agreements if necessary, (ii) change the terms of transactions with affiliates from a dollar limitation to allowable in the ordinary course of business, and (iii) establish a new covenant for a fixed charge coverage ratio. As further explained in Note 5 to the unaudited financial statements, we are required to maintain certain financial covenants with respect to our line of credit agreement. We were not in compliance with these requirements as of October 31, 2023. We have since received a waiver from the lender on May 24, 2024 and are in compliance with all requirements.

The current balance outstanding as of April 30, 2024 under the A&R Loan Agreement is $3.0 million. We are seeking to extend the term of the line of credit agreement and are currently in discussions with the lender. However, until such time as the line of credit is renewed, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern and the ability to meet our obligations as they become due within the twelve months from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued.

Each of the A&R Loan Facility and A&R Loan Agreement contains covenants, subject to certain exceptions, that place annual restrictions on the Borrowers’ operations, including covenants relating to debt restrictions, capital expenditures, indebtedness, minimum deposit restrictions, tangible net worth, net profit, leverage, employee loan restrictions, dividend and repurchase restrictions (common stock and preferred stock), and restrictions on intercompany transactions. The outstanding balance on our lines of credit were $3,000,000 and $9,620,000 as of April 30, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively.

For the six months ended April 30, 2024, our operating activities provided net cash of $3,390,694 as compared to the six months ended April 30, 2023 when operating activities used net cash of $1,234,180. The increase in cash flow from operations was partially due to net income of $329,183 for the six months ended April 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $891,943 for the six months ended April 30, 2023. Non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization, unrealized gain on commodities, loss on equity method investments, amortization of ROU assets, and deferred income taxes, resulted in cash provided of $46,835 for the six months ended April 30, 2024 and cash used of $798,995 for the six months ended April 30, 2023. The aggregate of accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and prepaid and refundable income taxes provided $4,194,892 and $4,791,092 in operating cash flow for the six months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The aggregate of lease liability, deposits and other assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses used $1,089,577 and $1,865,974 of operating cash flow for the six months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

For the six months ended April 30, 2024, our investing activities used net cash of $2,925,927 as compared to the six months ended April 30, 2023 when net cash used by investing activities was $609,131. The decrease in our use of cash in investing activities was due to our decreased purchases of machinery and equipment during the six months ended April 30, 2024.

For the six months ended April 30, 2024, our financing activities used net cash of $6,622,909 compared to net cash used by financing activities of $1,672,910 for the six months ended April 30, 2023. The change in cash flow from financing activities for the six months ended April 30, 2024 was due to our credit line activity.

We expect to fund our operations, including paying our liabilities, funding capital expenditures and making required payments on our indebtedness, through at least the next twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued, with cash provided by operating activities and the use of our credit facility. In addition, an increase in eligible accounts receivable and inventory would permit us to make additional borrowings under our line of credit.

Off-BalanceSheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

ITEM

  1. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluationof 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 the existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

MaterialWeakness Over Financial Reporting

During the year ended October 31, 2020, our controls were inadequate to prevent and detect misstatements of stock based compensation awards, quantities of inventory at one of our subsidiaries and inaccurately accounted for certain intercompany eliminations in our consolidated statements of operations. Accordingly, management determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.

During the year ended October 31, 2021, 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. Accordingly, management determined that the foregoing were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses.

| --- |

Further, during the year ended October 31, 2022, we concluded that we lacked adequate controls with respect to the preparation and review of journal entries and account reconciliations during the year-end financial statement closing process. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.

Further, during the year ended October 31, 2023, we concluded that we lacked adequate controls with respect to recording year end accruals for vendor liabilities and properly calculating required loan covenants. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness.

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.

RemediationPlan 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, 2023, 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 weaknesses identified above, we are initiating controls and procedures in order to:

● educating<br> control owners concerning the principles and requirements of each control, with a focus on<br> those related to user access to our financial reporting systems impacting financial reporting;
● developing<br> and maintaining documentation to promote knowledge transfer upon personnel and function changes;
● developing<br> enhanced controls and reviews related to our financial reporting systems;
● performing<br> an in-depth analysis of who should have access to perform key functions within our financial<br> reporting system that impact financial reporting and redesigning aspects of the system to<br> better allow the access rights to be implemented.
● cross<br> referencing analysis to be completed on a quarterly basis; and
● implementing<br> additional levels of internal review of financial statements and any adjustments 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.

Management will seek to remediate such deficiencies over the coming quarters.

Changesin Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the changes intended to remediate the material weakness as discussed above and in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2023, 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, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
