NOTE 1 BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:

Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (the “Company”) conducts wholesale coffee operations, including manufacturing, roasting, packaging, marketing and distributing roasted and blended coffees for private labeled accounts and its own brands, and it sells green coffee. The Company’s core product, coffee, can be summarized and divided into three product categories (“product lines”) as follows:

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

Private Label Coffee: coffee roasted, blended, packaged and sold under the specifications and names of others, including supermarkets that want to have their own brand name on coffee to compete with national brands; and

Branded Coffee: coffee roasted and blended to the Company’s own specifications and packaged and sold under the Company’s seven 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 the Far East. 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 April 26, 2012, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Healthwise Gourmet Coffees, LLC (“HGC”) to purchase an additional 10% interest in HGC. HGC is a coffee distributor specializing in a TechnoRoasting process that results in a coffee with lower acidity levels. The Company invested $100,000 for the additional 10% interest. Previously, the Company was awarded a 10% interest in HGC in return for setting up the production process in Colorado as well as other technical support.

On November 30, 2011, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Global Mark LLC, Peter Schmalfeld and Lawrence Elsie to purchase a 40% interest in Global Mark LLC (“GM”). The terms of the agreement provided for the Company to pay up to an aggregate of $2,000,000 in cash to fund operations and for GM to provide to the Company a preferred pricing arrangement for the supply of instant coffee. On December 10, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with GM and other members of GM, whereby the Company withdrew as a member of GM.

As a result of GM’s inability to successfully develop a significant customer base (other than the Company) and the Company’s evaluation of the long term prospects of the GM relationship, the Company determined that it was in the best interests of the parties to terminate the relationship. In connection with withdrawing from GM, the Company received assets comprised of cash, receivables and inventory equal to approximately $1.8 million, resulting in a write down of approximately $130,000, which was recognized as of October 31, 2012. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2013, the Company received the final accounting of the GM business. The amount of cash received was approximately $104,000 less than originally expected, resulting in the final write down that was recognized as of January 31, 2013.

NOTE 1 BUSINESS ACTIVITIES (cont’d):

On May 17, 2010, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Organic Products Trading Company, Inc. to purchase certain assets. The Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Coffee Holding Acquisition Company, LLC to purchase the assets. Subsequent to the closing, the Company changed the name of the subsidiary to Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO”). The financial statements of OPTCO are consolidated with those of the Company.

On April 7, 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture with Caruso’s Coffee, Inc. and formed Generations Coffee Company, LLC (“GCC”). The Company now owns a 60% equity interest in GCC. GCC operates the facility located in Brecksville, Ohio and is in the same general business as the Company. The Company also exercises control of GCC. As a result of its 60% equity interest and control of GCC, the financial statements of GCC are consolidated with those of the Company.

NOTE 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The following (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2013, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest shareholders’ annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 24, 2014 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 (“Form 10-K”).

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal and recurring nature adjustments) necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of January 31, 2014, and results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 and the cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, as applicable, have been made.

The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, OPTCO and GCC. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 3 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AFFECTING THE COMPANY:

During the first quarter, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities . Upon adoption an entity is required to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The amendments in this guidance are effective for the Company for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management is still evaluating the effects of adoption.

NOTE 4 PREPAID GREEN COFFEE:

The balance represents advance payments made by OPTCO to several coffee growing cooperatives for the purchase of green coffee. Interest is charged to the cooperatives for these advances. Interest earned was $883 and $7,579 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The prepaid coffee balance was $620,960 at January 31, 2014 and $439,290 at October 31, 2013.

NOTE 5 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectibility of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 60 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectibility. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.

The reserve for sales discounts represents the estimated discount that customers will take upon payment. The reserve for other allowances represents the estimated amount of returns, slotting fees and volume based discounts estimated to be incurred by the Company from its customers. The allowances are summarized as follows:

	January 31, 2014		October 31, 2013
Allowance for doubtful accounts	$	65,000	$	65,000
Reserve for other allowances		35,000		35,000
Reserve for sales discounts		44,000		44,000
Totals	$	144,000	$	144,000

NOTE 6 INVENTORIES:

Inventories at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 consisted of the following:

	January 31, 2014		January 31, 2013
Packed coffee	$	1,830,197	$	1,873,982

Packaging supplies		736,775		680,775
Totals	$	8,966,557	$	9,373,018

NOTE 7 COMMODITIES HELD BY BROKER:

The commodities held at the broker represent the market value of the Company’s trading account, which consists of options and future 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 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 increase earnings volatility in any particular period.

NOTE 8 LINE OF CREDIT:

On February 17, 2009, the Company entered into a financing agreement with Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”) for a $5,000,000 credit facility. The credit facility is a revolving $5,000,000 line of credit and the Company can draw on the line at an amount up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and 25% of eligible inventory consisting of green coffee beans and finished coffee not to exceed $1,000,000. Sterling shall have the right from time to time to adjust the foregoing percentages based upon, among other things, dilution, its sole determination of the value or likelihood of collection of eligible accounts receivables owed to the Company, and considerations regarding inventory. The credit facility is payable monthly in arrears on the average unpaid balance of the line of credit at an interest rate equal to a per annum reference rate (4.25% at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013).

On July 22, 2010, the credit facility was increased to $7,000,000. In addition, OPTCO was added as a co-borrower and the inventory sublimit was raised from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. Subsequent to July 31, 2010, $1,800,000 of the credit facility was allocated to OPTCO.

The initial term of the credit facility was for three years and expired on February 17, 2012. The terms of the credit facility provide that the credit facility may be automatically extended for successive periods of one year each unless one party shall have provided the other party with a written notice of termination at least ninety days prior to the expiration of the then current term. Prior to the expiration of the initial term, and effective as of February 12, 2012, the term was extended until February 17, 2014 and the interest rate was reduced to the Wall Street Journal Prime rate (which is currently 3.25%) plus one percent (1%). On May 10, 2013, the credit facility was extended until February 17, 2015. The credit facility is secured by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company.

NOTE 8 LINE OF CREDIT (cont’d):

The credit facility contains covenants that place annual restrictions on the Company’s operations, including covenants relating to debt restrictions, capital expenditures, minimum deposit restrictions, tangible net worth, net profit, leverage, employee loan restrictions, distribution restrictions (common stock and preferred stock), dividend restrictions, and restrictions on intercompany transactions. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain a minimum working capital at all times. The Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013.

On February 3, 2011, the Company amended its credit facility regarding the creation of a sublimit within the revolving line of credit in the form of a $300,000 term loan for the benefit of GCC. The Company provided a corporate guarantee to Sterling in connection with the amendment.

The Company previously was a party to a Guarantee Agreement with CORDAID, a non-profit organization that supports development projects in developing countries, registered under the laws of the Netherlands, in which it had agreed to make available $1,800,000 (which was subsequently reduced to $1,500,000) to be used as collateral for a loan facility from Sterling to the Company under a Guarantee Agreement. The Guarantee Agreement expired on March 31, 2012 and the parties did not renew this agreement.

Triodos Bank is one of the world’s leading sustainable banks, with a mission to make money work for positive social, environmental and cultural change. Triodos has offices in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, UK and Belgium. The Company initiated a corporate guarantee on April 15, 2011 to Triodos Sustainable Trade Fund (“TSTF”) up to a maximum amount of $250,000. TSTF provides financing to two coffee growing cooperatives up to a maximum of $1,000,000 based upon relationships established with OPTCO.

As of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the outstanding balance under the bank line of credit was $0 and $1,229,182, respectively.

NOTE 9 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.

The Company adopted FASB authoritative guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, 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 January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, 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, New Jersey, New York, Kansas, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Texas state tax returns. The Company’s federal income tax return is no longer subject to examination by the federal taxing authority for the years before fiscal 2010. The Company’s California, Colorado and New Jersey income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by their respective taxing authorities for the years before fiscal 2007. The Company’s Oregon and New York income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by their respective taxing authorities for the years before fiscal 2008.

NOTE 10 EARNINGS 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 by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income 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 earnings per share were 6,372,309 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013. The weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share were 6,639,309 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013. The 267,000 shares that could be exercised pursuant to the warrant agreement attached to the units issued in September 2011 have been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because of their dilutive impact.

NOTE 11 ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY:

Approximately 55% of the Company’s sales were derived from one customer during the three months ended January 31, 2014. This customer also accounted for approximately $4,081,000 of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at January 31, 2014. Approximately 51% of the Company’s sales were derived from one customer during the three months ended January 31, 2013. This customer also accounted for approximately $3,350,000 of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at January 31, 2013. Approximately 60% of the Company’s sales were derived from one customer during the year ended October 31, 2013. This customer also accounted for approximately $6,277,000 of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at October 31, 2013. Concentration of credit risk with respect to other trade receivables is limited due to the short payment terms generally extended by the Company, by ongoing credit evaluations of customers, and by maintaining an allowance for doubtful accounts that management believes will adequately provide for credit losses.

For the three months ended January 31, 2014, approximately 61% of the Company’s purchases were from four vendors. These vendors accounted for approximately $3,058,000 of the Company’s accounts payable at January 31, 2014. For the three months ended January 31, 2013, approximately 60% of the Company’s purchases were from four vendors. These vendors accounted for approximately $3,500,000 of the Company’s accounts payable at January 31, 2013. For the year ended October 31, 2013, approximately 75% of the Company’s purchases were from ten vendors. Two of these vendors accounted for 53% of total purchases. These two vendors accounted for approximately $4,122,000 of the Company’s accounts payable at October 31, 2013. Management does not believe the loss of any one vendor would have a material adverse effect of the Company’s operations due to the availability of many alternate suppliers.

NOTE 12 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Company has engaged its 40% partner in GCC as an outside contractor (the “Partner”). Included in contract labor expense are expenses incurred from the Partner during the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 of $107,067 and $94,588, respectively, for the processing of finished goods.

An employee of one of the top four vendors is a director of the Company. Purchases from that vendor totaled approximately $5,000,000 and $9,700,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The corresponding accounts payable balance to this vendor was approximately $1,419,000 and $2,373,000 at January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In January 2005, the Company established the “Coffee Holding Co., Inc. Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan.” Currently, there is only one participant in the plan: Andrew Gordon, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Within the plan guidelines, this employee is deferring a portion of his current salary and bonus. The assets are held in a separate trust. The deferred compensation payable represents the liability due to an officer of the Company. The assets are included in the Deposits and other assets in the accompanying balance sheets. The deferred compensation asset and liability at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 were $515,511 and $515,498, respectively.

NOTE 13 STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

Treasury Stock . The Company utilizes the cost method of accounting for treasury stock. The cost of reissued shares is determined under the last-in, first-out method. In January 2014, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $1 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions, share price and other factors. The Company did not purchase any shares during the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 .

Dividends: On December 27, 2012, the Company paid a cash dividend of $387,379 ($0.06 per share) to all stockholders of record as of December 15, 2012.

NOTE 14 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

The Company adopted the authoritative guidance on “Fair Value Measurements.” The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not adjusted for transaction costs. The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3) as described below:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible by the Company;

Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.

The Company determines fair values for its investment assets as follows:

Investments at fair value consist of commodity securities and deferred compensation plan assets.

The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan. The fair value of the plan assets are classified within Level 1 as the assets are valued using quoted prices in active markets. The assets are included with Deposits and other assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Additional information related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan is disclosed in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s commodity securities are classified within Level 2 and include coffee futures and options contracts. To determine fair value, the Company utilizes the market approach valuation technique for the coffee futures and options contracts. The Company uses Level 2 inputs that are based on market data of similar instruments that are in observable markets. All commodities on the balance sheet are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings.

The following tables present the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the matters discussed under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this quarterly report include forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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 dependency on a single commodity could affect our revenues and profitability;

● the effectiveness of our hedging policy may impact our profitability;

● our success in expanding our market presence in new geographic regions;

● the success of our joint ventures;

● our success in implementing our business strategy or introducing new products;

● our ability to attract and retain customers;

● our ability to retain key personnel;

● our ability to obtain additional financing;

● our ability to comply with the restrictive covenants we are subject to under our current financing;

● the effects of competition from other coffee manufacturers and other beverage alternatives;

● the impact to the operations of our Colorado facility;

● general economic conditions and conditions which affect the market for coffee;

● the macro global economic environment;

● our ability to maintain and develop our brand recognition;

● the impact of rapid or persistent fluctuations in the price of coffee beans;

● fluctuations in the supply of coffee beans;

● the volatility of our common stock; and

● other risks which we identify in our filings with the 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 sale of wholesale specialty green coffee;

● the roasting, blending, packaging and sale of private label coffee; and

● the roasting, blending, packaging and sale of our eight brands of coffee.

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

● the level of marketing and pricing competition from existing or new competitors in the coffee industry;

● our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers;

● our hedging policy;

● fluctuations in purchase prices, the supply of green coffee and the selling prices of our products; and

● our ability to manage inventory and 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 invest in measures that are expected to increase net sales. These transactions include our acquisitions of certain assets of Premier Roasters, LLC, which included equipment and a roasting facility in La Junta, Colorado, a West Coast Brand Manager to market our S&W brand and to increase sales of S&W coffee to new customers, our joint venture with Caruso’s Coffee, Inc. of Brecksville, Ohio the transaction with Organic Products and the addition of three sales persons from the Café Bustelo division of Folgers to assist with the expansion of our Café Caribe and Supremo brands. We believe these efforts will allow us to expand our business.

Our net 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.

We have used, and continue to use, 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 our cost of sales. In addition, we acquire futures contracts with longer terms, generally three to four months, primarily for the purpose of guaranteeing an adequate supply of green coffee at favorable prices. Although the use of these derivative financial instruments has generally enabled us to mitigate the effect of changing prices, no strategy can entirely eliminate pricing risks and we generally remain exposed to loss when prices decline significantly in a short period of time. In addition, we would remain exposed to supply risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to any futures contracts. If the hedges that we enter into 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 increase of our losses. See Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, assets held for sale, income taxes and loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, may be impacted significantly by judgment, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements:

● We recognize revenue in accordance with the relevant authoritative guidance. Revenue is recognized at the point title and risk of ownership transfers to its customers which is upon the shippers taking possession of the goods because i) title passes in accordance with the terms of the purchase orders and with our agreements with our customers, ii) any risk of loss is covered by the customers’ insurance, iii) there is persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement, iv) the sales price is determinable and v) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Thus, revenue is recognized at the point of shipment.

● Our allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to provide for losses arising from customers’ inability to make required payments. If there is deterioration of our customers’ credit worthiness and/or there is an increase in the length of time that the receivables are past due greater than the historical assumptions used, additional allowances may be required. For example, every additional one percent of our accounts receivable that becomes uncollectible, would decrease our operating income by approximately $100,000 for the quarter ended January 31, 2014. The reserve for sales discounts represents the estimated discount that customers will take upon payment. The reserve for other allowances represents the estimated amount of returns, slotting fees and volume based discounts estimated to be incurred by the Company from its customers.

● Inventories are stated at lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. Based on our assumptions about future demand and market conditions, inventories are subject to be written-down to market value. If our assumptions about future demand change and/or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, additional write-downs of inventories may be required. Each additional one percent of potential inventory writedown would have decreased operating income by approximately $90,000 for the quarter ended January 31, 2014.

● We account for income taxes in accordance with the relevant authoritative guidance. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are 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 rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reflected on the balance sheet when it is determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will be realized. Accordingly, our net deferred tax asset as of January 31, 2014 of $770,900 may require a valuation allowance if we do not generate taxable income.

● Our goodwill consists of the cost in excess of the fair market value of the acquired net assets of OPTCO. This company has been integrated into a structure which does not provide the basis for separate reporting units. Consequently, the Company is a single reporting unit for goodwill impairment testing purposes. We also have intangible assets consisting of customer list and relationships and trademarks acquired from OPTCO. At January 31, 2014 our balance sheet reflected goodwill and intangible assets as set forth below:

Customer list and relationships, net	$	121,875
Trademarks	$	180,000
Goodwill	$	440,000
	$	741,875

Goodwill and the trademarks which are deemed to have indefinite lives are subject to annual impairment tests. Goodwill impairment tests require the comparison of the fair value and carrying value of reporting units. We assess the potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets annually and on an interim basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Upon completion of such review, if impairment is found to have occurred, a corresponding charge will be recorded. The value assigned to the customer list and relationships is being amortized over a twenty year period.

Because the Company is a single reporting unit, the closing NASDAQ Capital Market price of our Common Stock as of the acquisition date was used as a basis to measure the fair value of goodwill. Goodwill and the intangible assets will be tested annually at the end of each fiscal year to determine whether they have been impaired. Upon completion of each annual review, there can be no assurance that a material charge will not be recorded. Impairment testing is required more often than annually if circumstances indicate that an impairment or decline in value may have occurred.

Three Months Ended January 31, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended January 31, 2013

Net Income . We had net income of $1,371,740, or $0.22 per share basic and $0.21 per share diluted, for the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to net income of $937,537 or $0.15 per share basic and $0.14 per share diluted, for the three months ended January 31, 2013. The increase in net income reflects increased profitability on our sales.

Net Sales . Net sales totaled $27,346,347 for the three months ended January 31, 2014, a decrease of $3,972,457, or 13%, from $31,318,804 for the three months ended January 31, 2013. The decrease in net sales reflects lower coffee prices as coffee prices continued to decrease on an unabated slide to a seven year low during the same period, partially offset by a 13.7% increase in pounds of green coffee sold as our business continued to shift to sales of green coffee from private label sales.

Cost of Sales . Cost of sales for the three months ended January 31, 2014 was $23,227,722 or 84.9% of net sales, as compared to $27,636,207 or 88.2% of net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2013. The decrease in cost of sales reflects lower prices paid for green coffee during this period compared to the same period during 2013.

Gross Profit . Gross profit increased $436,028 to $4,118,625 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 as compared to gross profit of $3,682,597 for the three months ended January 31, 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased by 3.3% for the three months ended January 31, 2014, as compared to gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2013. The increase in our margins primarily reflects unrealized gains in our hedging activities and lower prices paid for green coffee during this period compared to the same period during 2013.

Operating Expenses . Total operating expenses decreased by $25,466, or 1.3%, to $1,869,712 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 as compared to operating expenses of $1,895,178 for the three months ended January 31, 2013. The decrease in operating expenses was due to a decrease in selling and administrative expenses of $54,629, partially offset by an increase in officers’ salaries of $29,163.

Other Expense. Other expenses decreased by $117,870 to $17,387 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to other expenses of $135,257 for the three months ended January 31, 2013. Interest income decreased by $6,696, interest expense decreased by $20,311 and the loss on equity investment decreased by $104,255 for the three months ended January 31, 2014. The decrease in interest income resulted from the decrease in pre-finance agreements with the coffee growing cooperatives. The decrease in interest expense resulted from a decrease in the average balance outstanding on our line of credit and the reduction of our interest rate under our credit facility.

Income Taxes. Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended January 31, 2014 totaled $825,925 compared to a provision of $635,484 for the three months ended January 31, 2013. The increase reflects higher pre-tax income for the quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 31, 2014, we had working capital of $20,845,276, which represented a $1,425,074 increase from our working capital of $19,420,202 as of October 31, 2013, and total stockholders’ equity of $23,121,805, which increased by $1,371,740 from our total stockholders’ equity of $21,750,065 as of October 31, 2013. Our working capital increased primarily due to a decrease of $2,004,403 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a decrease of $1,229,182 in our line of credit, a decrease of $984,000 in due to broker, partially offset by a decrease of $2,325,652 in accounts receivable, a decrease of $406,461 in our inventories. At January 31, 2014, the outstanding balance on our line of credit was $0 compared to $1,229,182 at October 31, 2013. Total stockholders’ equity increased due to an increase in retained earnings as a result of our net income.

For the three months ended January 31, 2014, our operating activities provided net cash of $1,850,323 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2013 when operating activities provided net cash of $536,013. The increased cash flow from operations for the three months ended January 31, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in net income of $388,923, an increase in deferred income taxes of $212,100 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2,511,682.

For the three months ended January 31, 2014, our investing activities used net cash of $123,874 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2013 when net cash provided by investing activities was $163,675. The decrease in our uses of cash in investing activities was primarily due to our recovery of our equity investment in Global Mark LLC in 2013 partially offset by our increased purchases of equipment in 2014.

For the three months ended January 31, 2014, our financing activities used net cash of $1,229,182 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $3,694 for the three months January 31, 2013. The change in cash flow from financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2014 was primarily due to the reduced need for borrowing under our credit facility and partially offset by the payment of dividends of $387,377 during the three months ended January 31, 2013.

On February 17, 2009, we entered into a financing agreement with Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”) for a $5,000,000 credit facility. The credit facility is a revolving $5,000,000 line of credit and we can draw on the line at an amount up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and 25% of eligible inventory consisting of green coffee beans and finished coffee not to exceed $1,000,000. Sterling shall have the right from time to time to adjust the foregoing percentages based upon, among other things, dilution, its sole determination of the value or likelihood of collection of eligible accounts receivables owed to us and considerations regarding inventory. The credit facility is payable monthly in arrears on the average unpaid balance of the line of credit at an interest rate equal to a per annum reference rate of 4.25% at January 31, 2014 and 2013.

On July 22, 2010, we had the credit facility increased to $7,000,000. In addition, OPTCO was added as a co-borrower and the inventory sublimit was raised from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. Subsequent to July 31, 2010, $1,800,000 of the credit facility was allocated to OPTCO.

The credit facility contains covenants that place annual restrictions on our operations, including covenants relating to debt restrictions, capital expenditures, minimum deposit restrictions, tangible net worth, net profit, leverage, employee loan restrictions, distribution restrictions (common stock and preferred stock), dividend restrictions, and restrictions on intercompany transactions. The credit facility also requires that we maintain a minimum working capital at all times. We were in compliance with all required financial covenants at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013.

On February 3, 2011, we amended the credit facility regarding the creation of a sublimit within the revolving line of credit in the form of a $300,000 term loan for the benefit of GCC. We provided a corporate guarantee to Sterling in connection with the amendment.

We expect to fund our operations, including paying our liabilities, funding capital expenditures and making required payments on our debts, through October 31, 2014 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-Balance Sheet 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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in interest rates and commodity prices as further described below.

Interest Rate Risks . We are subject to market risk from exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. At January 31, 2014, our debt was zero. Given our current level of borrowing, we believe this risk is immaterial.

Commodity Price Risks . 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 expect to continue to use, short-term coffee futures and options contracts primarily for the purpose of partially hedging the effects of changing green coffee prices, as further explained in Note 7 of the notes to the Financial Statements in this Report. 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 futures contracts. Although we have had net gains on options and futures contracts in the past, we have incurred losses on options and futures contracts during some reporting periods. In these cases, our cost of sales has increased, resulting in a decrease in our profitability or increase losses. Such losses have and could in the future materially increase our cost of sales and materially decrease our profitability or increase losses and adversely affect our stock price. 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. See “Item 1A – Risk Factors - 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” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 24, 2014.

As of January 31, 2014, we held 47 futures contracts covering an aggregate of 1,762,500 pounds of green coffee beans at a weighted average price of $1.1390 per pound. The fair market value of coffee applicable to such contracts was $1.2520 per pound at that date. At October 31, 2013, the Company held 149 futures contracts covering an aggregate of 5,587,500 pounds of green coffee at a weighted average price of $1.19 per pound. The fair market value of coffee applicable to such contracts was $1.08 per pound at that date. At October 31, 2013, the Company also held 120 options covering an aggregate of 4,500,000 pounds of green coffee beans at $1.10 per pound. The fair market value of these options, which was obtained from observable market data of similar instruments was $244,800.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Management, including our President, Chief Executive Officer who is also the 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, the President and Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file and submit under the Exchange Act are (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required; and (2) accumulated and communicated, as is appropriate, to the Company’s management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely discussions regarding disclosure.
