ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1. Business.
Our History
MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc. (formerly Mascot Properties, Inc.) (the “Company” or “MamaMancini’s”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2009. Mascot Properties, Inc.’s (“Mascot”) activities since its inception consisted of trying to locate real estate properties to manage, primarily related to student housing, and services which included general property management, maintenance and activities coordination for residents. Mascot did not have any significant development of such business and did not derive any revenue. Due to the lack of results in its attempt to implement its original business plan, management determined it was in the best interests of the shareholders to look for other potential business opportunities.
On February 22, 2010, MamaMancini’s LLC was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of New Jersey in order to commercialize our initial products. On March 5, 2012, the members of MamaMancini’s LLC, holders of 4,700 units (the “Units”) of MamaMancini’s LLC, exchanged the Units for 15,000,000 shares of common stock and those certain options to purchase an additional 223,404 shares of MamaMancini’s Inc. (the “Exchange”). Upon consummation of the Exchange, MamaMancini’s LLC ceased to exist and all further business has been and continues to be conducted by MamaMancini’s Inc.
On January 24, 2013, Mascot, Mascot Properties Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), MamaMancini’s Inc., a privately-held Delaware Corporation headquartered in New Jersey (“Mama’s”) and David Dreslin, an individual (the “Majority Shareholder”), entered into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into Mama’s, with Mama’s surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The transaction (the “Closing”) took place on January 24, 2013 (the “Closing Date”). Mascot acquired, through a reverse triangular merger, all of the outstanding capital stock of Mama’s in exchange for issuing Mama’s shareholders (the “Mama’s Shareholders”), pro-rata, a total of 20,054,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the Merger, the Mama’s Shareholders became the majority shareholders of Mascot. Immediately following the Closing of the Agreement, Mascot changed its business plan to that of Mama’s. On March 8, 2013, Mascot received notice from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) that its application to change its name and symbol had been approved and effective Monday, March 11, 2013, Mascot began trading under its new name, “MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc.” and under its new symbol, “MMMB”.
On November 1, 2017, MamaMancini’s, Joseph Epstein Food Enterprises, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“JEFE”), and MMMB Acquisition, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MamaMancini’s (“Merger Sub”), completed a merger transaction whereby JEFE merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of MamaMancini’s. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement and in connection with the merger, the Company acquired all assets of JEFE. The consideration for the transaction was (a) the extinguishment of the Inter-Company Loan between the parties, (b) the assumption by the Company of all JEFE accounts payable and accrued expenses (c) assumption by the Company of certain third-party loans to JEFE totaling approximately $782,000 and (d) indemnification of Carl Wolf with respect to his collateralization of a bank loan to JEFE in the amount of approximately $250,000. As a result of the transaction, (i) the Company became the sole shareholder of JEFE, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. No cash or stock was exchanged in connection with the transaction.
On December 23, 2021, the Company announced the signing of definitive agreements for two acquisitions - T&L Creative Salads, Inc. (“T&L” or “T&L Creative Salads”) and Olive Branch, LLC (“OB” or “Olive Branch”), which are related gourmet food manufacturers based in New York. The closing of these transactions occurred and was completed on December 29, 2021. The Company acquired T&L and OB for a combined purchase price of $14.0 million, including $11.0 million in cash at closing and $3.0 million in a promissory note (the “Note”). The promissory note requires annual principal payments of $750,000 payable on each anniversary of the closing, together with accrued interest at a rate of three and one-half (3.5%) per annum. The Note holder is T&L Acquisition Corp, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and it is guaranteed by the Company. The Note holder has a right of set-off against the balance due for any matters which are the subject of an indemnification under the transaction agreements. The cash payment was funded through cash on hand and a $7.5 million acquisition loan from M&T Bank (see below). Anthony Morello, Jr. remained as President of T&L.
On December 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Multiple Disbursement Term Loan (the “Loan”) with M&T Bank for the original principal amount of $7,500,000 payable in monthly installments over a 60-month period. The maturity date of the Loan is January 17, 2027. Interest is payable on the principal amount of the Loan at a variable rate per annum based on the Company’s Senior Funded Debt/EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement between the Company and M&T Bank) established with respect to the Borrower as of the date of any advance under the Loan as follows: if the Senior Funded Debt/EBITDA ratio is: (i) greater than 2.00 but less than or equal to 2.50, 4.12 percentage point(s) above one-day (i.e., overnight) Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (as defined); (ii) greater than 1.50 but less than or equal to 2.00, 3.62 percentage points above one-day SOFR; or (iii) 1.50 or less, 3.12 percentage points above one-day SOFR. In all events set forth at subsections (i) through (iii) in the preceding sentence, if SOFR shall at any time be less than 0.25%, one-day SOFR shall be deemed to be 0.25% and the foregoing margins shall be applied to the SOFR Index Floor.
All of the proceeds of the Loan were utilized to fund the acquisition of T&L and OB.
On June 28, 2022, the Company acquired a 24% minority interest in Chef Inspirational Foods, LLC (“CIF”), a leading developer, innovator, marketer and sales company selling prepared foods, for an investment of $1.2 million. The investment consists of $500,000 in cash and $700,000 in the Company’s common stock. The Company also was granted the option to purchase the remaining seventy-six percent (76%) interest in CIF within one year of June 28, 2022. The option purchase price is an additional $3.8 million, of which $3.5 million would be paid in cash and $300,000 in common stock, which would be paid within a two-year period from the date of the option exercise.
Our Company
MamaMancini’s roots go back to our founder Dan Dougherty, whose grandmother Anna “Mama” Mancini emigrated from Bari, Italy to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn in 1921. Our products were developed using her old-world Italian recipes that were handed down to her grandson, Dan Dougherty. Today we market a line of all-natural specialty prepared refrigerated foods for sale in retailers around the country. Our primary products include beef and turkey meatballs, meat loaf, chicken, sausage-related products and pasta entrees.
Our products are all natural, contain a minimum number of ingredients and are generally derived from the original recipes of Anna “Mama” Mancini. Our products appeal to health-conscious consumers who seek to avoid artificial flavors, synthetic colors and preservatives that are used in many conventional packaged foods.
The United States Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”) defines “all natural” as a product that contains no artificial ingredients, coloring ingredients or chemical preservatives and is minimally processed. MamaMancini’s products were submitted to the USDA and approved as all natural. The Food and Safety and Inspection Service (“FSIS”) Food Standards and Labeling Policy Book (2003) requires meat and poultry labels to include a brief statement directly beneath or beside the “natural” label claim that “explains what is meant by the term natural i.e., that the product is a natural food because it contains no artificial ingredients and is only minimally processed”. The term “natural” may be used on a meat label or poultry label if the product does not contain any artificial flavor or flavoring, coloring ingredient, chemical preservative, or any other artificial or synthetic ingredient. Additionally, the term “all natural” can be used if the FSIS approves your product and label claims. The Company’s product and label claims have been approved by the FSIS to contain the all-natural label.
Our products are principally sold to supermarkets, club chains, and mass-market retailers. We currently have more than 50 product offerings across our beef, chicken, salad and olive portfolios which are packaged in different sized retail and bulk packages. Our products are principally sold in the deli section of the supermarket, including hot bars, salad bars, prepared foods (meals), sandwich, as well as cold deli and foods-to-go sections. Our products are also sold in the fresh meat section. We sell directly to both food retailers and food distributors.
Finally, we also sell our products on QVC through live on-air offerings, auto ship programs and for everyday purchases on their web site. QVC is the world’s largest direct to consumer marketer.
On December 29, 2021 MamaMancini’s made two acquisitions which expand the company’s core product lines, and access to specific markets. T &L Creative Salads and Olive Branch, are related premier gourmet food manufacturers based in New York. T&L offers a full line of protein, salad and sandwich products 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.
T&L sales are spearheaded by a line of chicken products, including grilled and breaded chicken breasts as well as chicken strips. T&L’s SQF level 2 state-of-the-art USDA facility in Farmingdale, New York has positioned it to expand its operations nationally into MamaMancini’s network of retailers and club stores. T&L actively sells its salads and prepared products to over 250 delis, bagel shops, smaller retail accounts and food distributors in the New York metropolitan area, representing over 35% of T&L’s current sales volume.
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. Olive Branch products are manufactured at the same facility as T&L in Farmingdale, NY.
On June 28, 2022, the Company acquired a 24% minority interest in CIF, a leading developer, innovator, marketer and sales company selling prepared foods.
Industry Overview
Our products are considered specialty prepared foods, in that they taste great, are authentic and are made with high quality ingredients. The market for specialty and prepared foods spans several sections of the supermarket, including deli-prepared foods, and the specialty meat segment of the meat department.
Our Strengths
We believe that the following strengths differentiate our products and our brands:
● Authentic recipes and great taste. Our MamaMancini’s products are founded upon Anna “Mama” Mancini’s old-world Italian recipes. We believe the authenticity of our products has enabled us to build and maintain loyalty and trust among our current customers and will help us attract new customers. Additionally, we continuously receive positive customer testimonials regarding the great taste and quality of our products.
● Healthy and convenient. Our products are made only from high quality natural ingredients, including domestic inspected beef, whole tomatoes, genuine imported Pecorino Romano, real eggs, natural breadcrumbs, olive oil and other herbs and spices. Our products are also simple to prepare. Virtually every product we offer is ready-to-serve within 12 minutes, thereby providing quick and easy meal solutions for our customers. By including the sauce and utilizing a tray with our packaging, our products can be prepared quickly and easily.
● Great value. We strive to provide our customers with a great tasting products using all-natural ingredients at an affordable price. Typical retail prices range from $5.99 to $9.99 for bulk products sold in delis or hot bars. We believe the sizes of our product offerings represent a great value for the price.
● New products and innovation. Since our inception, we have continued to introduce new and innovative products. While we pride ourselves on our traditional beef and turkey meatballs and meat loaf, we have continuously made efforts to grow and diversify our line of products while maintaining our high standards for all natural, healthy ingredients and great taste. Examples of new product offerings released in fiscal 2022 include Meal For One ready to eat home meals and our Meatballs in a Cup snack. Our new lines of chicken cutlets, breaded chicken products, gourmet pasta salads and savory olive products will be a natural extension to our national customers and club stores.
● Key Market Concentration. Through the acquisition of T&L Creative Salads, MamaMancini’s is deeply established in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut tristate metro market with strong new distribution to deli’s, independent end retailers, bagel shops and provision distributors. MamaMancini’s products will fit well into the needs of this market and gives us the opportunity to extend the brand. In addition, our legacy MamaMancini’s national distribution footprint allows our T&L and Olive Branch products to gain broader national distribution.
Customers/Management
● Strong consumer loyalty. Many of our consumers are loyal and enthusiastic brand advocates. Our consumers trust us to deliver great-tasting products made with all-natural ingredients. Consumers have actively communicated with us through our website and/or social media channels. We believe that this consumer interaction has generated interest in our products and has inspired enthusiasm for our brand. We also believe that enthusiasm for our products has led and will continue to lead to repeat purchases and new consumers trying our products.
● Experienced leadership. We have a proven and experienced senior management team. In September of 2022, Adam L. Michaels was named Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of MamaMancini’s and was subsequently named Chairman of the Board effective February 1, 2023. Adam is an experienced food industry executive and former management consultant with broad experience transforming consumer-focused companies. Previously, Adam served with Mondelez International, a multinational food and beverage company with operations in over 150 countries. In addition, Anthony Gruber was named Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) in September of 2022. Anthony Gruber is a financial executive with significant experience leading and optimizing finance organizations in the consumer products arena. Previously, Anthony served as Chief Financial Officer of De’Longhi America, Inc., the North American subsidiary of the Italian appliance manufacturer DeLonghi S.P.A. known for its espresso machines. Anthony also served as Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer of Richemont North America, Inc., the North American subsidiary of the Swiss-based luxury goods company, where he managed all finance activities for North America and was integral in integrating brands into its shared service platform.
Our Growth Strategy
We are actively executing a strategy to build our brand’s reputation, grow sales and improve our product and operating margins by pursuing the following growth initiatives:
● Build Breadth & Depth of Distribution: MamaMancini’s, T&L Creative Salads & Olive Branch are still underpenetrated in existing sales channels, under-SKU’d in existing stores and have the potential to enter new channels. We will leverage our strong brand, superior quality and high-touch service to list more of our items in existing customers as well as enter new customers. In addition, we will be leveraging our existing customer relationships to cross-sell our newly acquired brands, thereby driving larger consumer baskets, expanding promotional opportunities, and driving down freight charges, as we are shipping more Mama’s items to the same locations.
● Launch Consumer-Driven Innovation: As we become even more consumer-focused, we seek to understand consumers’ unmet Deli needs. We will passionately understand our consumers and develop incremental sales opportunities. We will seek to develop products that capture incremental occasions, incremental consumer groups and incremental sales channels. For example, our new Meatballs in a Cup offering (1) provides for a “new for us” snacking occasion incremental to our current meal offerings, (2) provides an attraction to a younger on-the-go consumer audience, and (3) provides for an incremental sales channel with entry into the Convenience Store channel.
● Pursue Accretive, Complementary Acquisitions: We will regularly identify and integrate major acquisitions in new deli categories, capitalizing on the highly fragmented nature of the fresh prepared foods space. Ideal acquisition opportunities might bring incremental/ accretive manufacturing capabilities, incremental capabilities within a new deli sub-category, strengthen our distribution capabilities, and/or enhance our management capabilities. Before any additional acquisitions are contemplated, a full integration plan and synergy modeling will be performed and presented to the Board for feedback and approval.
● Become the One Stop Shop Deli Solution: The Company has the potential to achieve $1B in sales through a combination of accretive acquisitions of complementary companies and organic growth, spurred by cross-selling and new product innovation. As the Company builds national scale, expands breadth of deli offerings and maintains exceptional quality and service, the Company will realize our vision.
Pricing
Our pricing strategy focuses on being competitively priced with other premium brands. Since our products are positioned in the authentic premium prepared food category, we maintain prices competitive with those of similar products and prices slightly higher than those in the commodity prepared foods section. This pricing strategy also provides greater long-term flexibility as we grow our product line through the growth curve of our products. Current typical retail prices range from $5.99 to $9.99, for prepared food products sold to delis or hot bars. Increases in raw material costs, among other factors, may lead us to consider price increases in the future.
Suppliers/Manufacturers
As of January 31, 2023, approximately 90% of our products are internally produced in our East Rutherford, NJ or Farmingdale, NY Facilities. None of our raw materials or ingredients are directly grown or produced by us. From time-to-time we negotiate with other manufacturers to supplement the Company’s manufacturing capability. We currently purchase modest quantities from other manufacturers. All of the raw materials and ingredients in our products are readily available and are readily ascertainable by our suppliers. We have not experienced any material shortages of ingredients or other products necessary to our operations and do not anticipate such shortages in the foreseeable future.
Sales/Brokers
Our products are sold primarily through a commission broker network. We sell to large retail chains who direct our products to their own warehouses or to large food distributors.
The Company increased its sales management efforts with the result that the Company is now actively soliciting business with almost every major retail supermarket chain in the country. MamaMancini’s products are currently sold nationwide, with its greatest concentration in the Northeast and Southeast.
Marketing
The majority of our marketing activity has been generated through promotional discounts, consumer trials, consumer product tastings and demonstrations, in-store merchandising and signage, couponing, word of mouth, consumer public relations, social media, special merchandising events with retailers and consumer advertising.
Based on the Company’s metrics for determining brand awareness, which includes market studies and analysis of consumer recognition of the MamaMancini’s brand, the Company believes that brand awareness for MamaMancini’s has grown in the past 12 months.
Competition
The gourmet and specialty pre-packaged food industry has many large competitors specializing in various types of cuisine from all over the world. Our product lines are currently concentrated on Italian specialty foods. While it is our contention that our competition is much more limited than the pre-packaged food industry based on our products’ niche market, there can be no assurances that we do not compete with the entire pre-packaged food industry. We believe our principal competitors include Quaker Maid, Hormel, Rosina Company, Inc., Casa Di Bertacchi, Inc., Farm Rich, Inc., Mama Lucia, Buona Vita, Inc., Taylor Farms, Kings Command, DeLallo Foods, and Gourmet Boutique.
Intellectual Property
Our current intellectual property consists of trade secret recipes and cooking processes for our products and four trademarks for “MamaMancini’s”, “The Meatball Lovers Meatball”, “The Original Meatball in a Cup”, and “Mac N’ Mamas”. The recipes and use of the trademarks have been assigned in perpetuity to the Company.
We rely on a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We will also use technical measures to protect our proprietary rights.
Royalty Agreement
In accordance with a Development and License Agreement (the “Development and License Agreement”) entered into on January 1, 2009 with Dan Dougherty relating to the use of his grandmother’s recipes for the products to be created by Mama’s, Mr. Dougherty granted us a 50-year exclusive license (subject to certain minimum payments being made), with a 25-year extension option, to use and commercialize the licensed items. Under the terms of the Development and License Agreement, Mr. Dougherty shall develop a line of beef meatballs with sauce, turkey meatballs with sauce and other similar meats and sauces for commercial manufacture, distribution and sale (each a “Licensor Product” and collectively the “Licensor Products”). Mr. Dougherty shall work with us to develop Licensor Products that are acceptable to us. Upon acceptance of a Licensor Product by us, Mr. Dougherty’s trade secret recipes, formulas methods and ingredients for the preparation and production of such Licensor Products shall be subject to the Development and License Agreement. In connection with the Development and License Agreement, we pay Mr. Dougherty a royalty fee on net sales.
USDA approval/Regulations
Our food products, which are manufactured both in our own manufacturing facilities and in third-party facilities, are subject to various federal, state and local regulations and inspections regarding sanitation, quality, packaging and labeling. In order to distribute and sell our products outside the State of New Jersey, the third-party food processing facilities must meet the standards promulgated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”). Our manufacturing processing facilities and products are subject to periodic inspection by federal, state, and local authorities. In January 2011, the Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) Food Safety Modernization Act was signed into law. The law increased the number of inspections at food facilities in the U.S. in an effort to enhance the detection of food borne illness outbreaks and order recalls of tainted food products. The facilities in which our products are manufactured are inspected regularly and comply with all the requirements of the FDA and USDA.
We are subject to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and regulations promulgated thereunder by the FDA. This comprehensive regulatory program governs, among other things, the manufacturing, composition and ingredients, packaging, and safety of food. Under this program, the FDA regulates manufacturing practices for foods through, among other things, its current “good manufacturing practices” regulations, or GMP’s, and specifies the recipes for certain foods. Specifically, the USDA defines “all natural” as a product that contains no artificial ingredients, coloring ingredients or chemical preservatives and is minimally processed. Mama’s products were submitted to the USDA and approved as “all natural”. However, should the USDA change their definition of “all natural” at some point in the future, or should Mama’s change its existing recipes to include ingredients that do not meet the USDA’s definition of “all natural”, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
The FTC and other authorities regulate how we market and advertise our products, and we are currently in compliance with all regulations related thereto, although we could be the target of claims relating to alleged false or deceptive advertising under federal and state laws and regulations. Changes in these laws or regulations or the introduction of new laws or regulations could increase the costs of doing business for us or our customers or suppliers or restrict our actions, causing our results of operations to be adversely affected.
Quality Assurance
We take precautions designed to ensure the quality and safety of our products. In addition to routine third-party inspections of our manufacturing facilities, we have instituted regular audits to address topics such as allergen control, ingredient, packaging and product specifications and sanitation. Under the FDA Food Modernization Act, both our own manufacturing facilities and each of our contract manufacturers are required to have a hazard analysis critical control points plan that identifies critical pathways for contaminants and mandates control measures that must be used to prevent, eliminate or reduce relevant food-borne hazards.
Our manufacturing facilities are certified in the Safe Quality Food Program. These standards are integrated food safety and quality management protocols designed specifically for the food sector and offer a comprehensive methodology to manage food safety and quality simultaneously. Certification provides an independent and external validation that a product, process or service complies with applicable regulations and standards.
We work with suppliers who assure the quality and safety of their ingredients. These assurances are supported by our purchasing contracts or quality assurance specification packets, including affidavits, certificates of analysis and analytical testing, where required. The quality assurance staff within our manufacturing facilities and within our contract manufacturers conduct periodic on-site routine audits of critical ingredient suppliers.
Where You Can Find More Information
The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0030.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item. Notwithstanding, in addition to risk factors highlighted in previous reports, the Company adds the following additional risk factor:
The loss of our largest customers would significantly reduce our revenue and adversely affect our results of operations.
During the year ended January 31, 2023 two customers represented approximately 37% or our gross revenues and during the year ended January 31, 2022 three customers represented approximately 58% of our gross revenue. The loss of our largest customers would significantly reduce our revenue, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We can provide no assurance that these customers will continue to place orders in the future.
We depend on the services of key personnel, and may not be able to operate and grow our business effectively if we lose their services or are unable to attract qualified personnel in the future.
We rely heavily on our senior management team, due to their broad experience with consumer focused companies, to identify internal expansion and external growth companies. Our ability to retain senior management and other key personnel is therefore very important to our future success. We have employment agreements with our senior management, but these employment agreements do not ensure that they will not voluntarily terminate their employment with us. In addition, our key personnel are subject to non-solicitation and confidential information restrictions. We do not have key man insurance for any of our current management or other key personnel. The loss of any key personnel would require the remaining key personnel to divert immediate attention to seeking a replacement. Competition for senior management personnel is intense, and fit is important to us. Our inability to find a suitable replacement for any departing executive officer or key employee on a timely basis could adversely affect our ability to operate and grow our business.
Adverse developments affecting the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults or non-performance by financial institutions or transactional counterparties, could adversely affect our current and projected business operations and its financial condition and results of operations.
Actual events involving limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect financial institutions, transactional counterparties or other companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry generally, or concerns or rumors about any events of these kinds or other similar risks, have in the past and may in the future lead to market-wide liquidity problems. For example, on March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), as receiver. Similarly, on March 12, 2023, Signature Bank and Silvergate Capital Corp. were each swept into receivership. Although a statement by the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC stated that all depositors of SVB would have access to all of their money after only one business day of closure, including funds held in uninsured deposit accounts, borrowers under credit agreements, letters of credit and certain other financial instruments with SVB, Signature Bank or any other financial institution that is placed into receivership by the FDIC may be unable to access undrawn amounts thereunder. If any of our counterparties to any such instruments were to be placed into receivership, we may be unable to access such funds. In addition, if any parties with whom we conduct business are unable to access funds pursuant to such instruments or lending arrangements with such a financial institution, such parties’ ability to pay their obligations to us or to enter into new commercial arrangements requiring additional payments to us could be adversely affected. In this regard, counterparties to SVB credit agreements and arrangements, and third parties such as beneficiaries of letters of credit (among others), may experience direct impacts from the closure of SVB and uncertainty remains over liquidity concerns in the broader financial services industry. Similar impacts have occurred in the past, such as during the 2008-2010 financial crisis.
Inflation and rapid increases in interest rates have led to a decline in the trading value of previously issued government securities with interest rates below current market interest rates. Although the U.S. Department of Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board have announced a program to provide up to $25 billion of loans to financial institutions secured by certain of such government securities held by financial institutions to mitigate the risk of potential losses on the sale of such instruments, widespread demands for customer withdrawals or other liquidity needs of financial institutions for immediate liquidity may exceed the capacity of such program. There is no guarantee that the U.S. Department of Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board will provide access to uninsured funds in the future in the event of the closure of other banks or financial institutions, or that they would do so in a timely fashion.
Although we assess our banking relationships as we believe necessary or appropriate, our access to funding sources and other credit arrangements in amounts adequate to finance or capitalize our current and projected future business operations could be significantly impaired by factors that affect us, the financial institutions with which we have arrangements directly, or the financial services industry or economy in general. These factors could include, among others, events such as liquidity constraints or failures, the ability to perform obligations under various types of financial, credit or liquidity agreements or arrangements, disruptions or instability in the financial services industry or financial markets, or concerns or negative expectations about the prospects for companies in the financial services industry. These factors could involve financial institutions or financial services industry companies with which we have financial or business relationships, but could also include factors involving financial markets or the financial services industry generally.
The results of events or concerns that involve one or more of these factors could include a variety of material and adverse impacts on our current and projected business operations and our financial condition and results of operations. These could include, but may not be limited to, the following:
●Delayed access to deposits or other financial assets or the uninsured loss of deposits or other financial assets;
●Loss of access to revolving existing credit facilities or other working capital sources and/or the inability to refund, roll over or extend the maturity of, or enter into new credit facilities or other working capital resources;
●Potential or actual breach of contractual obligations that require us to maintain letters or credit or other credit support arrangements; or
In addition, any further deterioration in the macroeconomic economy or financial services industry could lead to losses or defaults by parties with whom we conduct business, which in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our current and/or projected business operations and results of operations and financial condition. For example, a party with whom we conduct business may fail to make payments when due, default under their agreements with us, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy. Any bankruptcy or insolvency, or the failure to make payments when due, of any counterparty of ours, or the loss of any significant relationships, could result in material losses to us and may material adverse impacts on our business.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended January 31, 2023 and 2022
The following table sets forth the summary of the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended January 31, 2023 and 2022:
For the Years Ended
January 31, 2023 January 31, 2022
Sales - Net of Slotting Fees and Discounts $ 93,187,621 $ 47,083,740
Gross Profit $ 19,418,262 $ 11,853,873
Operating Expenses $ (16,596,608 ) $ (11,771,106 )
Other Expenses $ (653,362 ) $ (38,221 )
Income Tax Benefit (Provision) $ (9,104 ) $ (296,472 )
Income from equity method investment in Chef Inspirational $ 143,486 $ -
Net Income (Loss) $ 2,302,674 $ (251,926 )
For the years ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company reported net income (loss) of $2,302,674 and $(251,926), respectively. The change in net income (loss) between the years ended January 31, 2023 and 2022 reflects strong sales and same-customer product additions, normalization of costs for commodities, other materials, freight as well as improvements in manufacturing efficiencies.
Sales: Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts increased by approximately 98% to $93,187,621 during the year ended January 31, 2023, from $47,083,740 during the year ended January 31, 2022. Sales for the year ended January 31, 2023 include a full year of operations of T&L Creative Salads and Olive Branch. For the year ended January 31, 2022 T&L Creative Salads and Olive Branch included the period beginning December 29, 2021 to January 31, 2022.
Gross Profit: The gross profit margin was 21% and 25% for the years ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company continues to identify procurement efficiencies and cost savings through stronger buying power created through the acquisitions of T&L Creative Salads and Olive Branch.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses increased by 41% during the year ended January 31, 2023, as compared to the year ended January 31, 2022. Operating expenses decreased as a percentage of sales to 18% in 2023 compared to 25% in 2022. The $4,825,502 increase in total operating expenses is primarily attributable to the following:
● Payroll and Related Expenses rose by approximately $2,400,000 related to the executive hires, incremental costs associated with the acquisition of T&L Creative Salads management and office salaries;
● Commission Expenses rose by approximately $650,000 due to increased sales;
● Freight related expenses rose by approximately $650,000 due to the increase in sales
● Insurance expenses rose by approximately $375,000 related to the additional costs associated with the acquisition of T&L Creative Salads; and
● Allowance for Doubtful Accounts rose by $233,000 due to our anticipation of increasing macroeconomic risk.
Other Income (Expenses): Other expenses increased by $615,141 to $653,362 for the year ended January 31, 2023 as compared to $38,221 for the year ended January 31, 2022. For the year ended January 31, 2023, other income (expenses) consisted of $633,889 in interest expense on the Company’s financing arrangements and $22,121 in amortization of debt discount. For the year ended January 31, 2022, other expenses consisted of $73,487 in interest expense incurred on the Company’s financing arrangements offset by other income of $37,704.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at January 31, 2023 compared to January 31, 2022:
January 31, 2023
January 31, 2022
Change
Current Assets $ 15,674,701 $ 11,638,317 $ 4,036,384
Current Liabilities 11,879,091 8,985,128 2,893,963
Working Capital $ 3,795,610 $ 2,653,189 $ 1,142,421
As of January 31, 2023, we had working capital of $3,795,610 as compared to working capital of $2,653,189 as of January 31, 2022, an increase of $1,142,421. The increase in working capital is primarily attributable to an increase in cash of $3,527,785, an increase of inventories of $745,088 based on robust sales increases, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $174,460 partially offset by better cash management which resulted in a decrease in accounts receivable of $562,671 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2,192,359.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended January 31, 2023 was $5,509,162 compared to net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended January 31, 2022 of $909,841. The net income (loss) for the years ended January 31, 2023 and 2022 was $2,302,674 and $(251,926), respectively. During the year ended January 31, 2023, net income was affected by non-cash adjustments of $1,715,397 and by changes in operating activities which provided cash of $1,490,965. During the year ended January 31, 2022, net income was affected by adjustments to net income of $1,345,727 offset by changes in operating activities which used cash of $183,960.
Net cash used in investing activities for the years ended January 31, 2023 was $1,093,214 as compared to $11,270,957 for the year ended January 31, 2022, respectively. For the year ended January 31, 2023, the Company used cash of $593,214 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, LLC. For the year ended January 31, 2022, the cash used in investing activities of $862,415 was to purchase new machinery and equipment and $10,408,542 for the acquisition of T&L and Olive Branch.
Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended January 31, 2023 was $888,037 as compared to $8,021,154 provided by financing activities for the year January 31, 2022. During the year ended January 31, 2023, the Company received net proceeds of $125,000 from borrowings pursuant to the line of credit which were offset by payments of the term loan, related party loan, and finance lease payments of $1,293,095, $750,000, and $235,208, respectively. In addition, during the year ended January 31, 2023, the Company received proceeds of $26,250 for the exercise of options and $1,365,000 from the sale of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. During the year ended January 31, 2023, the Company paid offering costs of $64,600 and dividends on the Series B Preferred stock of $34,070. During the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company received proceeds of $19,080 from the exercise of options, $7,500,000 from borrowings from a term loan, and $765,00 from borrowings from a line of credit. These cash in-flows were offset by payments of $199,176 paid for finance lease payments and $63,750 paid in financing fees.
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 April 26, 2024, 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 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 February 1, 2024.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)-Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step two of the goodwill impairment test referenced in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). As a result, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the impairment loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including any interim impairment tests within those annual periods, with early application permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. In February 2022, we elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04, and the adoption had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will perform future goodwill impairment tests according to ASU 2017-04.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). US 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 US GAAP and are consistently 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 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 consolidated financial statements:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: allowance for doubtful accounts, 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 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.
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized in accordance with US GAAP. Instead, goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment.
Our annual assessment date is January 31. An interim impairment test would be required whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. The goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. We would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized would not exceed the total amount of goodwill. Additionally, we consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.
We have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. However, we may elect to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test even if no indications of a potential impairment exist.
Our goodwill was $8,633,334 at January 31, 2023.
For our annual goodwill impairment tests as of January 31, 2023, we performed a qualitative assessment which indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values and, therefore, did not result in an impairment. In addition, we do not believe we are currently at risk of goodwill impairment. Our qualitative assessments considered several factors including (i) the business enterprise value and the excess of the fair value over carrying value, (ii) macroeconomic conditions, (iii) industry and market considerations including industry revenue, EBITDA margins, and multiples based on business enterprise value to revenues and to EBITDA, and (iv) the recent financial performance and budget, as well as other factors.
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.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
The Company’s sales 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 received by the customer. Revenues are recognized in an amount that reflects the net consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods. The transaction price is adjusted for estimates of known or expected variable consideration, which includes consumer incentives, trade promotions, and allowances, such as coupons, discounts, rebates, volume-based incentives, cooperative advertising, and other programs. The Company reports all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue. Under the 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 consolidated statement of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of equity-based grants, excluding restricted stock. In estimating fair value, management is required to make certain assumptions and estimates such as the expected life of units, volatility of the Company’s future share price, risk-free rates, future dividend yields and estimated forfeitures at the initial grant date. Changes in assumptions used to estimate fair value could result in materially different results.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures are the Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.
On April 26, 2023, the Company evaluated, with the participation of its management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
● Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
● Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors of the Company; and
● Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because of declines in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2023. In making this assessment, they used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).
Based on our evaluation under such framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 31, 2023.
(c) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
As described above, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we completed the remediation of a material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting relating to the lack sufficient accounting staff to appropriately segregate duties and leverage decision makers to consolidate new entities and complete timely reporting of financial data and the lack of sufficient orientation and experience with new ERP systems platform which hindered productivity and required additional supervision delaying timely reporting of financial statements. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
