Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
July 31, 2022
Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), (formerly known as Mascot Properties, Inc.) was organized on July 22, 2009 as a Nevada corporation. The Company has a year-end of January 31.
The Company is a marketer, manufacturer and distributor of beef meatballs with sauce, turkey meatballs with sauce, beef meat loaf, chicken parmesan and other similar meats and sauces. In addition, the Company continues to diversify its product line by introducing new products such as ready to serve dinners, single-size Pasta Bowls, bulk deli, packaged refrigerated and frozen products. The Company’s products were submitted to the United States Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”) and approved as all natural. The USDA defines all natural as a product that contains no artificial ingredients, coloring ingredients or chemical preservatives and is minimally processed. The Company’s customers are located throughout the United States, with large concentrations in the Northeast and Southeast.
On December 29, 2021, the Company made two acquisitions which expand the Company’s core product lines, and access to specific markets. T&L Creative Salads, Inc. (“T&L”) and Olive Branch, LLC (“OB”), are related premier gourmet food manufacturers based in New York. T&L offers a full line of foods for retail food chains and club stores, delis, bagel stores, caterers and provision distributors. T&L uses high-quality meats, seafood and vegetables, prepared to meet the standards set forth by the USDA and the FDA. Olive Branch started operations six years ago as a separate company to concentrate on selling olives, olive mixes, and savory products to a limited number of large retail customers, primarily in pre-packaged containers.
On
June 28, 2022, the Company acquired a

| For the Period June 28, 2022 through July 31, 2021 | ||||
| Revenues | $ | |||
| Net income | $ | |||
Note 2 – Business Acquisitions
The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), and goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination is recorded as goodwill. ASC 805 specifies criteria to be used in determining whether intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. Amounts assigned to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are based on independent appraisals or internal estimates.
On
December 23, 2021, the Company announced the signing of definitive agreements for two acquisitions – T&L and OB, which are
gourmet food manufacturers based in New York. The closing of these transactions was completed on December 29, 2021. The Company acquired
T&L and OB for a combined purchase price of $
On
December 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Multiple Disbursement Term Loan (“Loan”) with M&T Bank for the original
principal amount of $
All of the proceeds of the Loan were utilized to fund the acquisition of T&L and OB.
| F-7 |
For
the three months ended July 31, 2022, T&L had revenue and a loss before taxes of approximately $
The following presents the unaudited pro-forma combined results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 of T&L and OB with the Company as if the entities were combined on February 1, 2021.

The unaudited pro-forma results of operations are presented for information purposes only. The unaudited pro-forma results of operations are not intended to present actual results that would have been attained had the acquisitions been completed as of February 1, 2021 or to project potential operating results as of any future date or for any future periods.
ASC 805 defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date the acquirer achieves control. ASC 805 requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquirer (if any) at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. ASC 805 also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration (if any) at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date.
The following summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:
Schedule of Asset Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
| Assets: | ||||
| Cash | $ | |||
| Accounts receivable | ||||
| Inventories | ||||
| Fixed assets, net | ||||
| Intangibles | ||||
| Total identified assets acquired | $ | |||
| Liabilities: | ||||
| Accounts payable and accrued expenses | $ | |||
| Total liabilities assumed | ||||
| Total net assets acquired | $ | |||
The acquisition method of accounting requires extensive use of estimates and judgments to allocate the considerations transferred to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The amounts used in computing the purchase price differ from the amounts in the purchase agreements due to fair value measurement conventions prescribed by accounting standards.
| F-8 |
The intangible assets acquired include the trademarks and customer relationships.
The allocation of purchase price is still deemed to be a preliminary allocation because of potential changes in the valuation of intangibles and the acquired fixed assets.
The goodwill represents the assembled workforce, acquired capabilities, and future economic benefits resulting from the acquisition. All of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited interim financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2022 filed on May 27, 2022. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 2022 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ending January 31, 2023.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the entities as of the reporting period ending date(s) and for the reporting period(s). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, purchase price accounting and the fair value of share-based payments.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and change in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure.
| F-9 |
The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the grocery industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices pertaining to food and beverages in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.
Cash
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company
held
The
Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution.
The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. At July 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The Company determines if receivables are past due based on days outstanding, and amounts are written off when determined to be uncollectible by management. As of July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, the reserve for uncollectible accounts was de minimis.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) valuation method. Inventory was comprised of the following at July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022:
Schedule of Inventories
| July 31, 2022 | January 31, 2022 | |||||||
| Raw Materials | $ | $ | ||||||
| Work in Process | ||||||||
| Finished goods | ||||||||
| Inventories | $ | $ | ||||||
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost net of depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives.
Asset lives for financial statement reporting of depreciation are:
Schedule of Property and Equipment Estimated Useful Lives
| Machinery and equipment | ||
| Furniture and fixtures | ||
| Leasehold improvements | * |
| (*) |
Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
| F-10 |
Intangible Assets
Software
The
Company accounts for acquired internal-use software licenses and certain costs within the scope of ASC 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill
and Other - Internal-Use Software as intangible assets. The Company capitalized $
Additionally, the Company evaluates its accounting for fees paid in an agreement to determine whether it includes a license to internal-use software. If the agreement includes a software license, the Company accounts for the software license as an intangible asset. Acquired software licenses are recognized and measured at cost, which includes the present value of the license obligation if the license is to be paid for over time. If the agreement does not include a software license, the Company accounts for the arrangement as a service contract (hosting arrangement) and hosting costs are generally expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
The Company does not amortize goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of January 31 or if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the fair value of the entity, or the reporting unit, may be below its carrying amount (a “triggering event”). Whenever events or circumstances change, entities have the option to first make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. If impairment is deemed more likely than not, management would perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step impairment test is not required. In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company assessed relevant events and circumstances that may impact the fair value and the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The identification of the relevant events and circumstances and how these may impact a reporting unit’s fair value or carrying amount involve significant judgements and assumptions. The judgement and assumptions include the identification of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, Company specific events and share price trends, an assessment of whether each relevant factor will impact the impairment test positively or negatively, and the magnitude of an such impact.
If a quantitative assessment is performed, a reporting unit’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. A reporting unit’s fair value is determined based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including the income approach, which utilizes projected future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved and multiples of current and future earnings. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Management evaluates the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, it is amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life.
As of July 31, 2022, there were no impairment losses recognized for goodwill.
Other Intangibles
Other intangibles consist of trademarks, trade names and customer relationships. Intangible asset lives for financial statement reporting of amortization are:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amount of the Company’s short-term financial instruments approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
Research and Development
Research
and development is expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 were $
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
The Company’s sales predominantly are generated from the sale of finished products to customers, contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer. Typically, this occurs when the goods are shipped to the customer. Revenues are recognized in an amount that reflects the net consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. The Company reports all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue. The Company elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities, and the related costs are recorded as selling expenses in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company promotes its products with advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions. These programs include discounts, slotting fees, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives and volume-based incentives. Customer trade promotion and consumer incentive activities are recorded as a reduction to the transaction price based on amounts estimated as being due to customers and consumers at the end of a period. The Company derives these estimates principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. The Company does not receive a distinct service in relation to the advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions.
Payment terms in the Company’s invoices are based on the billing schedule established in contracts and purchase orders with customers. The Company recognizes the related trade receivable when the goods are shipped.
| F-12 |
Expenses such as slotting fees, sales discounts, and allowances are accounted for as a direct reduction of revenues as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718.
The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
Share-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Share-based payments issued to placement agents are classified as a direct cost of a stock offering and are recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital.
For the three months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, share-based compensation amounted to $ and $, respectively.
For the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, share-based compensation amounted to $ and $, respectively.

The expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method as permitted under the provisions of ASC 718-10-S99. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options was estimated using the historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. Risk free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. EPS is computed pursuant to Section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16, basic EPS shall be computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or warrants.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the period of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred
tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
and rates on the date of enactment. As of July 31, 2022 and January 31, 2022, the Company recognized a deferred tax asset of $

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2021, the FASB issued accounting standards update ASU 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options”, to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted the new standard on February 1, 2022 and the adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features. ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification and makes targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share (EPS) guidance. This update will be effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities can elect to adopt the new guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its financial statements and intends to adopt the standard as of January 1, 2024.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure. Any material events that occur between the balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements were issued are disclosed as subsequent events, while the financial statements are adjusted to reflect any conditions that existed at the balance sheet date.

In
assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of

The Company evaluated the provisions of ASC 740 related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, present, and disclose uncertain positions that the Company has taken or expects to take in its tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the net benefit recognized and measured pursuant to the interpretation are referred to as “unrecognized benefits.” A liability is recognized (or amount of net operating loss carry forward or amount of tax refundable is reduced) for unrecognized tax benefit because it represents an enterprise’s potential future obligation to the taxing authority for a tax position that was not recognized as a result of applying the provisions of ASC 740.
The actual yearly tax rate will vary due to numerous factors, such as level and geographic mix of income and losses, acquisitions, investments, intercompany transactions, our stock price, changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities and their valuation, changes in the laws, regulations, administrative practices, principles, and interpretations related to tax, including changes to the global tax framework and other laws and accounting rules in various jurisdictions

| Net (Loss) Income | $ | (743,246 | ) | $ | 431,925 | |||
For the quarters ended July 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company reported net (loss) income of $(743,246) and $431,925, respectively. The change in net loss (income) between the quarter ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 reflects continued waning downward pressure on gross margin percentage from continued commodity, packaging and freight inflation along with increased interest & transactional costs associated with one time acquisitions.
Sales: Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts increased by approximately 89% to $22,846,474 during the quarter ended July 31, 2022, from $12,064,584 during the quarter ended July 31, 2021. Sales included the second full quarter from the acquisition of T&L Creative Salads, Inc. and Olive Branch LLC in December 2021. During the quarter ended July 31, 2022, MamaMancini’s Inc. and T&L Salads sharply accelerated product portfolio synergies by adding new T&L products to existing MamaMancini’s customers in both club stores and retail chains.
Gross Profit: The gross profit margin was 12% for the quarter ended July 31, 2022 compared to 28% for the quarter ended July 31, 2021. The T&L Creative Salads and Olive Branch LLC acquisition created a different financial model with lower gross margin percentage yet comparable Operating Income margins. In addition, continued inflation of raw materials and freight costs have temporarily out-paced price increases in the quarter. In particular, poultry price increases outpaced all macro projections causing a steep reduction in projected margins for the period. Management is now seeing the balance between inflationary costs and price increases to improve and projects gross profits will return to targeted levels the quarter ending October 31, 2022. The Company has instituted a new pricing process that more accurately and rapidly tracks inputs costs, including commodity costs, to ensure that with every single sale the Company meeting its required margin profile.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses increased by 28% during the quarter ended July 31, 2022, as compared to the quarter ended July 31, 2021. Operating expenses decreased as a percentage of sales to 15% in 2022 compared to 23% in 2021. The $814,254 increase in total operating expenses is primarily attributable to the following:
| ● | Freight charges rose $203,343 due to increased Finished Goods transportation rate increases and fuel surcharges; |
| ● | Payroll and Related Expenses rose by $174,613 related to the acquisition of T&L Creative Salads management and office salaries, additional accounting staff at MamaMancini’s and severance pay expenses; |
| ● | Professional Fees rose $278,760 due to one-time legal fees associated with investment in Chef Inspirational Foods, higher Auditing Fees related to the additional complexity of the acquisitions and added third-party accounting and technical expertise to augment staffing shortfalls; |
| ● | Commission Expenses rose $213,521 due to increased sales. |
Other Income (Expenses): Other expenses increased by $131,934 to $139,483 for the quarter ended July 31, 2022 as compared to $7,549 during the quarter ended July 31, 2021. For the quarter ended July 31, 2022, other income (expenses) consisted of $139,064 in interest expense on the Company’s financing arrangements, $3,015 in amortization of debt discount and other income of $2,596. For the three months ended July 31, 2021, other expenses consisted of $7,549 in interest expense incurred on the Company’s financing arrangements.

Sales included the first full six months from the acquisition of T&L Creative Salads, Inc. and Olive Branch LLC in December 2021. Sales for MamaMancini’s, Inc. also rose modestly during the six months ended July 31, 2022 versus the prior year comparative period. During the six months ended July 31, 2022, MamaMancini’s Inc. and T&L Salads quickly gained product portfolio synergies by adding new products to existing customers in both club stores and retail chains.
Gross Profit: The gross profit margin was 15% for the six months ended July 31, 2022 compared to 30% for the quarter ended July 31, 2021. The T&L Creative Salads and Olive Branch LLC acquisition created a different financial model with lower gross margin percentage yet comparable Operating Income margins. In addition, continued inflation of raw materials, packaging and freight costs have temporarily out-paced price increases in the quarter. In particular, poultry price increases outpaced all macro projections causing a steep reduction in projected margins for the period. Management is now seeing the balance between inflationary costs and price increases to improve and projects gross profits will return to targeted levels the quarter ending October 31, 2022. The Company has instituted a new pricing process that more accurately and rapidly tracks inputs costs, including commodity costs, to ensure that with every single sale the Company meeting its required margin profile.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses increased by 36% during the six months ended July 31, 2022, as compared to the six months ended July 31, 2021. Operating expenses decreased as a percentage of sales to 16% in 2022 compared to 24% in 2021. The $1,880,672 increase in total operating expenses is primarily attributable to the following:
| ● | Freight charges rose $501,580 due to increased Finished Goods transportation rate increases and fuel surcharges; |
| ● | Advertising and Promotion expenses rose $55,858 based on key promotions primarily at club stores; |
| ● | Payroll and Related Expenses rose by $538,205 related to the acquisition of T&L Creative Salads management and office salaries, additional accounting staff at MamaMancini’s and severance pay expenses; |
| ● | Professional Fees rose $413,048 due to one-time legal fees associated with investment in Chef Inspirational Foods, higher Auditing Fees related to the additional complexity of the acquisitions and added third-party accounting and technical expertise to augment staffing shortfalls; |
| ● | Commission Expenses rose $227,842 due to increased sales; |
| ● | Insurance Expenses rose $193,681 to account for the acquisition of T&L Creative Salads and Olive Branch LLC. |
Other Income (Expenses): Other expenses changed by $287,099 to $(267,374) for the six months ended July 31, 2022 as compared to income of $19,725 during the six months ended July 31, 2021. For the six months ended July 31, 2022, other income (expenses) consisted of $263,315 in interest expense on the Company’s financing arrangements, $6,655 in amortization of debt discount and $2,596 of other income. For the six months ended July 31, 2021, other income (expenses) consisted of $(17,979) in interest expense incurred on the Company’s financing arrangements which was offset by the net insurance proceeds relating to the property damage claim of $37,704.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at July 31, 2022 compared to January 31, 2022:
| July 31, 2022 | January 31, 2022 | Change | ||||||||||
| Current Assets | $ | 13,484,593 | $ | 11,638,317 | $ | 1,846,276 | ||||||
| Current Liabilities | $ | 11,021,882 | $ | 8,985,128 | $ | 2,036,754 | ||||||
| Working Capital | $ | 2,462,711 | $ | 2,653,189 | $ | (190,478 | ) | |||||
As of July 31, 2022, we had working capital of $2,462,711 as compared to working capital of $2,653,189 as of January 31, 2022, a decrease of $190,478. The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to an increase in cash of $1,045,814, an increase of inventories of $1,302,933 based on robust sales increases, an increase in prepaid expenses of $247,488 and a decreases in the short term portion of finance lease payable of $42,826 offset by better cash management and a decrease in accounts receivable of $749,959, an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,170,280, an increase in the term loan of $264,650, an increase in the short term portion of the operating lease payable of $76,294, an increase in the related party promissory note of $53,356 and the receipt of proceeds from the Series B Preferred Stock to be issued of $515,000.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 31, 2022 was $232,978 compared to net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 31, 2021 of $1,618,610. The net (loss) income for the six months ended July 31, 2022 and 2021 was $(639,549) and $1,063,449, respectively. During the six months ended July 31, 2022, net income was affected by adjustments to net loss of $679,868 and offset by changes in operating activities which used cash of $192,659. During the six months ended July 31, 2021, net income was affected by adjustments to net income of $865,357 and changes in operating activities which provided cash of $310,196.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2022 was $805,547 as compared to $481,295 for the six months ended July 31, 2021, respectively. For the six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company used cash of $305,547 to purchase new machinery and equipment. In addition, the Company paid cash of $500,000 for the acquisition of a 24% minority interest in Chef Inspirational Foods, Inc. For the six months ended July 31, 2021, the cash used in investing activities was to purchase new machinery and equipment.
Net cash provided by all financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2022 was $1,618,383 as compared to $74,994 used in financing activities for the six ended July 31, 2021. During the six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company received net proceeds of $1,725,000 from borrowings pursuant to the line of credit which were offset by payments of the acquisition related term loan and finance lease payments of $517,241 and $130,626, respectively. In addition, during the six months ended July 31, 2022, the Company received proceeds of $26,250 for the exercise of options and $515,000 from the initial tranche of the sale of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. During the six months ended July 31, 2021, the Company received proceeds of $19,080 from the exercise of options. These cash in-flows were offset by payments of $94,074 paid for finance lease payments.
Although the expected revenue growth and control of expenses lead management to believe that it is probable that the Company’s cash resources will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements through September 14, 2023, based on current and projected levels of operations, the Company may require additional funding to finance growth and achieve its strategic objectives. If such financing is required, there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In the event funding is not available on reasonable terms, the Company might be required to change its growth strategy and/or seek funding on an alternative basis, but there is no guarantee it will be able to do so. Because of the rapidly changing environment in response to COVID-19, the current expectations of the Company may be altered as conditions change.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2021, the FASB issued accounting standards update ASU 2021-04, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options”, to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company adopted the new standard on February 1, 2022 and the adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies an issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features. ASU 2020-06 also simplifies the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification and makes targeted improvements to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share (EPS) guidance. This update will be effective for the Company’s fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities can elect to adopt the new guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its financial statements and intends to adopt the standard as of January 1, 2024.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 3 of our condensed consolidated financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
We believe the following critical accounting policies and procedures, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements:
| 4 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence and the fair value of share-based payments.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.
Intangible Assets
Software
The Company accounts for acquired internal-use software licenses and certain costs within the scope of ASC 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software as intangible assets. The Company capitalized $87,639 of costs incurred in the six months ended July 31, 2022 to implement cloud computing arrangements. Acquired internal-use software licenses are amortized over the term of the arrangement on a straight-line basis to the line item within the condensed consolidated statements of operations that reflects the nature of the license.
Additionally, the Company evaluates its accounting for fees paid in an agreement to determine whether it includes a license to internal-use software. If the agreement includes a software license, the Company accounts for the software license as an intangible asset. Acquired software licenses are recognized and measured at cost, which includes the present value of the license obligation if the license is to be paid for over time. If the agreement does not include a software license, the Company accounts for the arrangement as a service contract (hosting arrangement) and hosting costs are generally expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
The Company does not amortize goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of April 30 or if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the fair value of the entity, or the reporting unit, may be below its carrying amount (a “triggering event”). Whenever events or circumstances change, entities have the option to first make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment. If impairment is deemed more likely than not, management would perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Otherwise, the two-step impairment test is not required. In assessing the qualitative factors, the Company assessed relevant events and circumstances that may impact the fair value and the carrying amount of the reporting unit. The identification of the relevant events and circumstances and how these may impact a reporting unit’s fair value or carrying amount involve significant judgements and assumptions. The judgement and assumptions include the identification of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, Company specific events and share price trends, an assessment of whether each relevant factor will impact the impairment test positively or negatively, and the magnitude of an such impact.
If a quantitative assessment is performed, a reporting unit’s fair value is compared to its carrying value. A reporting unit’s fair value is determined based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including the income approach, which utilizes projected future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved and multiples of current and future earnings. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Management evaluates the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, it is amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life.
Other Intangibles
Amortizable intangible assets, including tradenames and trademarks, are amortized on a straight-line basis over 3 years. Customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over 4 to 5 years.
| 5 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
The Company’s sales predominantly are generated from the sale of finished products to customers, contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer. Typically, this occurs when the goods are shipped to the customer. Revenues are recognized in an amount that reflects the net consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. The Company reports all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue. Under the new revenue guidance, the Company elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfilment activities, and the related costs are recorded as selling expenses in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value-based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718.
The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
Share-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Share-based payments issued to placement agents are classified as a direct cost of a stock offering and are recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital.
When computing fair value of share-based payments, the Company has considered the following variables:
| ● | The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. |
| ● | The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. |
| ● | The expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method as permitted under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 110. |
| ● | The term is the life of the grant. |
| ● | The expected volatility was estimated using the historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. |
| ● | The forfeiture rate is based on the historical forfeiture rate for the Company’s unvested stock options, which was 0%. |
Advertising
Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising for the Company are charged to operations as incurred.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in report that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
| 6 |
As of period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective including the following material weakness:
| 1) | Lacked sufficient accounting staff to appropriately segregate duties and leverage decision makers to consolidate new entities and complete timely reporting of financial data | |
| 2) | Lacked sufficient orientation and experience with new ERP systems platform which hindered productivity and required additional supervision delaying timely reporting of financial statements. |
Management is in the process of implementing the Management Remediation Initiatives (the “Initiatives”) detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2022. Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (1) and (2) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that without the implementation of the Initiatives, such matters could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During the period between February 1, 2022 and July 31, 2022, the Company had no sales of unregistered securities.
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities.
There has been no default in payment of principal, interest, sinking or purchase fund installment, or any other material default, with respect to any indebtedness of the Company.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
