NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except for share and per share data)

 

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial information, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the thirteen-week and thirty-nine-week periodstwenty-six-week period ended OctoberJuly 2, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period.

 

The Company’s fiscal year is either a fifty-two or fifty-three-week period which ends on the Saturday closest to December 31st.

 

Note 2: Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”). ASUs not discussed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s balance sheets or statements of operations.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this Update require a new topic to be added (Topic 326) to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and removes the thresholds that entities apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, trade receivables, reinsurance recoverables, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures, and held-to-maturity securities. Under current U.S. GAAP, entities generally recognize credit losses when it is probable that the loss has been incurred. The guidance under ASU 2016-13 will remove all current recognition thresholds and will require entities under the new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost that an entity expects to collect over the instrument’s contractual life. The new CECL model is based upon expected losses rather than incurred losses. Additionally, the credit loss recognition guidance for available-for-sale securities is amended and will require that credit losses on such debt securities should be recognized as an allowance for credit losses rather than a direct write-down of amortized cost balance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the effect that this new guidance will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-07—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Determining the Current Price of an Underlying Share for Equity-Classified Share-Based Awards. The measurement objective in Topic 718 for share-based awards is fair value based, and the current price input is measured at fair value. This input is used in determining an award’s fair value. The practical expedient in this Update allows a non-public entity to determine the current price of a share underlying an equity classified share-based award using the reasonable application of a reasonable valuation method. The practical expedient in this Update is effective prospectively for all qualifying awards granted or modified during fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early application, including application in an interim period, is permitted for financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance as of October 25, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

Note 4: Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company accounts for penalties or interest related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for income taxes.

 

Note 5: Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net incomeFully diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share is calculatedhave been computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, which would account for a potential 282,486shares to be issued upon conversion and have been included for the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, and for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2020. The effects of the 282,486 shares to be issued upon conversion are notof a convertible note as of July 3, 2021. The convertible note for 282,486 shares was included in the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share calculation for the thirty-ninethirteen and twenty-six weeks ended OctoberJuly 3, 2021. The note was repaid in full on December 22, 2021. There are no dilutive shares issuable in either the thirteen or twenty-six week periods ended July 2, 2021 as their effects are anti-dilutive.2022 .

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial statements.

 

The discussion and analysis which follows in this Quarterly Report and in other reports and documents and in oral statements made on our behalf by our management and others may contain trend analysis and other forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial results. These include statements regarding our earnings, projected growth and forecasts, and similar matters which are not historical facts. We remind stockholders that forward-looking statements are merely predictions and therefore are inherently subject to uncertainties and other factors which could cause the actual future events or results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These uncertainties and other factors include, among other things, business conditions in the food industry and general economic conditions, both domestic and international; lower than expected customer orders; competitive factors; changes in product mix or distribution channels; and resource constraints encountered in developing new products. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report and made elsewhere by or on our behalf should be considered in light of these factors.

 

Critical Accounting PoliciesEstimates

 

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The policies discussed below are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements because their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimation about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Specific risks for these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment.

 

Revenue Recognition. We primarily sell vegan and dairy-free soy-based cheeses, frozen desserts and other food products. We recognize revenue when control over the products transfers to our customers, deemed to be the performance obligation, which generally occurs when the product is shipped or picked up from one of our distribution locations by the customer. We account for product shipping, handling and insurance as fulfillment activities with revenues for these activities recorded within net revenue and costs recorded within cost of sales. Revenues are recorded net of trade and sales incentives and estimated product returns. Known or expected pricing or revenue adjustments, such as trade discounts, rebates or returns, are estimated at the time of sale. We base these estimates of expected amounts principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. Estimates that affect revenue, such as trade incentives and product returns, are monitored and adjusted each period until the incentives or product returns are realized.

 

Key sales terms, such as pricing and quantities ordered, are established on a frequent basis such that most customer arrangements and related incentives have a one year or shorter duration. As such, we do not capitalize contract inception costs and we capitalize product fulfillment costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP and our inventory policies. We generally do not have any unbilled receivables at the end of a period.

 

Accounts Receivable. The majority of our accounts receivablereceivables are due from distributors (domestic and international) and retailers. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are most often due within 30 to 90 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts and reserve for sales promotions. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. We determine whether an allowance is necessary by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, our previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. We write-off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the bad debt expense account. We do not accrue interest on accounts receivable past due.

 

12

Inventory. Inventory is stated at lower of cost or net realizable value determined by first in first out (FIFO) method. Inventories in excess of future demand are written down and charged to the provision for inventories. At the point of which loss is recognized, a new, lower cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in the newly established cost basis.

 

Leases. Under Topic 842, operating lease expense is generally recognized evenly over the term of the lease. We have operating leases primarily consisting of facilities with remaining lease terms of approximately one to three years. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we have combined the lease and non-lease components in determining the lease liabilities and right of use assets.

 

Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded if there is uncertainty as to the realization of deferred tax assets. We will recognize a tax benefit in the financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if management’s assessment is that the position is “more likely than not” (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50 percent) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction based solely on the technical merits of the position. The term “tax position” refers to a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes.

 

Recent Developments

 

On February 24, 2021 David Mintz, our founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, passed away. Steven Kass, Chief Financial Officer, was appointed interim CEO by our Board of Directors and was confirmed as permanent CEO by the Board on April 27, 2021.

An outbreak of an infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and has now spread globally. This outbreak has resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, prolonged quarantines, order cancellations, supply chain disruptions, increased costs for raw materials, and lower consumer demand, and other significant economic impacts, as well as general concern and uncertainty.

 

The current severity of the pandemic and the future uncertainty regarding the length of its effects could have negative consequences for our company. To date, the effects of the pandemic have negatively affected certain aspects of our operations. All of our co-packing facilities are currently operating normally, and the pandemic has not constrained any of our production requirements. The cost of certain key ingredients and packaging has increased substantially due to short-term supply issues related to COVID-19. Additionally, we are currently experiencing longer lead times in receiving certain ingredients and packaging. We anticipate that these longer lead times will persist for the balance of 2022. We continue to be able to schedule trucks for delivery and a large majority of our customers are still operating and ordering our products as before. Additionally,However, our freight costs have increased substantially due to a driver shortage caused by COVID-19. COVID-19 and a significant increase in fuel costs. Fuel costs have continued to increase substantially due to record high petroleum costs caused by the current unsettled world political situation. In response to these cost increases and the potential for additional cost increases affecting various aspects of our operations, we initiated a series of sales price increases commencing in the fourth quarter of 2021 and continuing into the first quarter of 2022 to help offset these cost increases. As these costs have either continued to increase, or have remained at their high historic levels, we have been forced to implement further price increases to our customers which will become effective during the fourth quarter of the current year.

13

Our ability to collect money, pay bills, handle customer and consumer communications, schedule production, and order ingredients necessary for our production has not been materially impacted. However, due to the future uncertainty of potential cost increases affecting various aspects of our operations,Nor have we have initiated a series of sales price increases commencing in the fourth quarter of this year to help offset these cost increases.

13

To date, the pandemic has had minimal impact on our sales. The majority of our sales relate to retail products sold in supermarkets. Supermarket sales in general have seen a substantial surge in business due to the pandemic, as consumers stock up on all products that they would normally purchase. The only negative effect to our business to date has been with respect to our food service sales to retail outlets, such as restaurants and small food shops, which account for a small part of our total business and with respect to our inability to regain our level of export sales to foreign jurisdictions. Our marketing efforts have also been constrained due to social distancing restrictions and other current government rules and regulations that preclude face to face sales meeting, attendance at trade shows and the initiation of new promotions.

To date we have not experienced a significant change in the timeliness of payments of our invoices and ourinvoices. Our cash position of approximately $3,009,000is $1,283,292 as of October 2, 2021 has improved sinceAugust 8, 2022 as compared to our fiscal year end January 1, 2022 balance of $1,698,000

 

Results of Operations

 

Thirteen Weeks Ended OctoberJuly 2, 20212022 Compared with Thirteen Weeks Ended September 26, 2020July 3, 2021

 

Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended OctoberJuly 2, 2021 were $3,356,000, an increase of $204,000,2022 decreased by $48,000, or 6%2%, to $2,979,000, from net sales of $3,152,000$3,027,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2020. The increase is mainly attributable to increases in sales in our vegan cheese categories and frozen desserts.July 3, 2021. Sales of our vegan cheese products increased by $161,000slightly to $2,816,000 in the 2021 period from $2,655,000 in the 2020 period. Frozen dessert sales increased by $43,000 to $540,000$2,526,000 in the thirteen weeks ended OctoberJuly 2, 20212022 from $497,000$2,497,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021. Sales of our frozen dessert and frozen food products, which consist primarily of frozen dessert products, decreased to $453,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2022 from $530,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2020.July 3, 2021. We anticipate an increase in sales dollars over the balance of the current fiscal year as the price increases we implemented take effect.

 

Our gross profit decreased significantly to $818,000 in$525,000 for the thirteen weeks ended OctoberJuly 2, 20212022 from $1,033,000 in$758,000 for the thirteen weeks ended October 2,July 3, 2021. Our gross profit percentage was 24%18% for the thirteen weeks ending OctoberJuly 2, 20212022 compared to 33%25% for the thirteen weeks ending September 26, 2020. SuddenJuly 3, 2021. The decrease in both our gross profit and gross profit percentage were caused by the substantial increases in certain ingredients and freight expense. These substantial cost increases were due primarily to COVID-relatedthe lingering supply chain issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the record high cost of petroleum. Besides causing substantial increases in our freight expenses, the high cost of petroleum has also directly impacted the costs of certain ingredients and packaging such as the plastic packaging we use for ingredients used in the production of our products have negatively impacted our gross profit. We anticipate these ingredient cost increases will continue for the balance of the year and at least into the first half of 2022.

spreadable cheese products. Our gross profit dollars and gross profit percentage waswere also negatively impacted by an increase in freight expense, which is a componentour sales promotion and allowance expenses to $403,000 in the second quarter of costthis year as compared to $336,000 in the second quarter of sales. prior fiscal year. We anticipate that our gross profit dollars and gross profit percentage will continue to be negatively affected for the balance of fiscal year 2022.

Freight out expense, a significant part of our cost of sales, increased by $39,000,$53,000, or 16%20%, to $277,000$324,000 for the thirteen weeks ended OctoberJuly 2, 20212022 compared with $238,000$271,000 for the thirteen weeks July 3, 2021. Freight out expense was 11% of sales for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2020. As a percentageJuly 2, 2022 compared to 9% of sales freight expense was 8% percent for both the thirteen weeks ended October 2, 2021July 3, 2021. The increase in freight out expenses was primarily due to the increases in shipping costs due to the large increase in the cost of fuel and the unavailability of trucks and drivers. We anticipate that our freight out expense will continue at the current higher rate for the balance of 2022.

Selling expenses increased slightly by $6,000, or 2%, to $309,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2020. Our freightJuly 2, 2022 from $303,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021. The increase was due to an increase in meetings and conventions of $20,000, commissions expense of $20,000, and travel, entertainment and auto expense of $12,000 which were partially offset by a decrease in outside warehouse rental expense of $41,000. We anticipate that our selling expenses will remain unchanged for the remainder of 2022.

Marketing expenses increased by $45,000, or 68%, to $111,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2022 from $66,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increases in artwork and plates expense of $54,000, advertising expense of $3,000, marketing materials of $6,000  and promotion expense of $17,000. The increase in artwork and plate expense was negatively impacted by a significant increase in freight rates caused by a shortage of drivers due to COVID-19, increased fuel costs, anda complete redesign of all the continued implementation of the 2019 Electronic Logging Device rules and regulations, or ELD, which limit the number of hours a truck driver can drive in a 24-hour period for over the road carriers.Company’s packaging. We expect this increase in freight expense to continueanticipate that our marketing expenses for the balance of the year will be higher that the corresponding periods in fiscal year 2021.

Product development costs, which consist principally of salary expenses and laboratory costs, increased slightly by $6,000, or 17%, to $42,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2022 from $36,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021. We anticipate our product development costs to continue at a slightly lower level than the corresponding 2021 periods

14

General and into 2022.administrative expenses increased by $30,000, or 9%, to $349,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2022 from $319,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021, primarily due to increases in payroll expense of 47,000, and public relations expense of $15,000, which were partially offset by decreases in IT expense of $13,000 and travel, entertainment, and auto expense of $9,000. We anticipate our general and administrative expense for the remaining periods in 2022 will approximate the same levels as in the corresponding 2021 periods.

Income tax benefit was $78,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2022 and $0 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021 resulting from the lower taxable income during the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2022 compared to the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021.

Twenty Six Weeks Ended July 2, 2022 Compared with Twenty Six Weeks Ended July 3, 2021

Net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2022 increased by $265,000, or 4%, to $6,442,000, from net sales of $6,177,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 2021. Sales of our vegan cheese products increased to $5,442,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2022 from $5,217,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 2021. Sales of our frozen dessert and frozen food products, which consist primarily of frozen dessert products, increased to $1,000,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2022 from $960,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 2021.

Our gross profit decreased to $1,382,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2022 from $1,759,000 in the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 2021. Our gross profit percentage was 21% for the twenty-six weeks ending July 2, 2022 compared to 28% for the twenty-six weeks ending July 3, 2021. The decrease in both our gross profit and gross profit percentage were caused by the substantial increases in certain ingredients and freight expense. These substantial cost increases were due primarily to the lingering supply chain issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the record high cost of petroleum. Besides causing substantial increases in our freight expenses, the high cost of petroleum has also directly impacted the costs of certain ingredients and packaging such as the plastic packaging we use for our spreadable cheese product.

Freight out expense, a significant part of our cost of sales, increased by $145,000, or 29%, to $643,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2022 compared with $498,000 for the twenty-six weeks July 3, 2021. Freight out expense was 10% of sales for the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2022 compared to 8% of sales for the twenty-six weeks ended July 3, 2021. The increase in freight out expenses was due to the increase in sales, but primarily due to the increases in shipping costs due to the large increase in the cost of fuel and the unavailability of trucks.

We anticipate that our selling expenses will remain at the same level for the remainderJuly 3, 2021.

We anticipate that our marketing expenses will remain at the same level for the remainderJuly 3, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increases in promotions expense of fiscal 2021.$38,000, artwork and plates expense of $13,000, and advertising expense of $3,000.

Net sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2021 were $9,533,000, a decrease of $88,000 from net sales of $9,621,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2020. Sales of vegan cheese products increased slightly to $8,033,000 in the 2021 period from $8,016,000 in the 2020 period. Sales of our frozen dessert and frozen food products decreased to $1,500,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2021 from $1,605,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2020. The decrease in our sales for the 2021 thirty-nine-week period was mostly due to the decrease in frozen dessert sales resulting from the discontinuance of our Yours Truly cones and Marry Me bars in the 2021 period due to the two products’ declining sales.

Our gross profit decreased by $467,000 or 15% to $2,577,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2021 from $3,044,000 in the thirty-nine-week period ended September 26, 2020.

As a percentage of sales, freight expense was 8% percent for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2021 compared to 7% percent for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2020. We anticipate our gross profit and gross profit percentage will continue to be negatively impacted for the balance of 2021 and into 2022 due to the significant ingredient cost increases caused by COVID-19 supply chain issues.

Selling expenses increased by $28,000, or 3%, to $909,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 2, 2021 from $881,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2020. This increase was due principally to increases in outside warehouse rental expense of $19,000 and bad debt expense of $10,000.

The significant increase in inventories during the period is due to management’s decision to purchase certain key ingredients in advance of production needs to ensure an adequate supply and an increase of accounts payable of $551,000, offset by a decrease in accrued expenses of $184,000 and income taxes payable of $115,000.

We believe our existing working capital and cash on hand at OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, existing working capital and the cash flows expected from operations, will be sufficient to support our operating and capital requirements during the next twelve months.

 

Inflation and Seasonality

 

We do not believe that our operating results have been materially affected by inflation during the preceding two years, other than the COVID relatedyears. However, beginning in 2022, due to substantial increases in ingredient, packaging, freight, and co-packing expenses, we are now experiencing negative effects on our operations from inflation. While we do believe that certain of these costs increases and freight expenses. There can beexpenses will return to their previous lower levels, there is no assurance however, that our operating resultsthey will not be materially affected by inflation in the future.do so. Our business is subject to minimal seasonal variations with slightly increased sales historically in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year. We expect to continue to experience slightly higher sales in the second and third quarters, and slightly lower sales in the fourth and first quarters, as a result of reduced sales of nondairydairy free frozen desserts during those periods.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of OctoberJuly 2, 2021,2022, our Company’s chief executive and financial officer conducted an evaluation regarding the effectiveness of our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon the evaluation of these controls and procedures, our chief executive and financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as OctoberJuly 2, 2021.2022.

 

Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls. As provided in Rule 13a-14 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Disclosure Controls are defined as meaning controls and procedures that are designed with the objective of insuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, designed and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls include, within the definition under the Exchange Act, and without limitation, controls and procedures to ensureinsure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. Internal Controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized; (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use; and (3) our transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of the interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, 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.

 

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 the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management’s evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes using the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of our control environment.

On February 24, 2021 David Mintz, our founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, passed away. Steven Kass, Chief Financial Officer, was appointed interim CEO by our Board of Directors and was confirmed as permanent CEO by the Board on April 27, 2021.

Based on the evaluation under the frameworks described above, Mr. Kass, our chief executive and chief financial officer, has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of OctoberJuly 2, 20212022 because of the following material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting:

 

 A continuing lack of sufficient resources and an insufficient level of monitoring and oversight, which may restrict our ability to gather, analyze and report information relative to the financial statements, including but not limited to accounting estimates, reserves, allowances, and income tax matters, in a timely manner.
   
 The limited size of the accounting department makes it impracticable to achieve an optimum separation of duties and monitoring of internal controls.

 

To date, we have been unable to remediate these weaknesses, which stem from our small workforce. Asworkforce of the date of this filing we employ five people.four persons at July 2, 2022.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
