Amendment Change
We are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to amend and restate in their entirety the following items of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2019 (the “Original Form 10-Q”): (i) Item 1 of Part I “Financial Information,” (ii) Item 2 of Part I, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” (iii) Item 4 of Part I, “Controls and Procedures,”. No other sections were affected, but for the convenience of the reader, this report on Form 10-Q/A restates in its entirety, as amended, our Original Form 10-Q. This report on Form 10-Q/A is presented as of the filing date of the Original Form 10-Q and does not reflect events occurring after that date, or modify or update disclosures in any way other than as required to reflect the restatement described below.
We adopted ASU No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842), as amended, as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods that approximates the results of a full retrospective approach. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed financial statements in this Form 10-QA have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QA and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The Company has continued to follow the accounting policies disclosed in the financial statements included in its 2018 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It is suggested that these statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2018 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC.
The interim financial information in this Form 10-QA reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.
Concentration of Risk
In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, one customer accounted for 38.10% of the Company’s revenue. The account has purchased from the Company since 1992. The account is a distributor of the Company’s product. This distributor had a set back in opening their new main café / roaster and Thanksgiving will continue to roast all their coffees until they are again operational. A loss of this account or any other large account, or a significant reduction in sales to any of the Company’s principal customers, could have an adverse impact on the Company.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method as prescribed by ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. As such, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred income 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued accounting guidance which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers under ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09“). ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. On August 12, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date,“ which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year allowing early adoption as of the original effective date of January 1, 2017. The deferral results in the new accounting standard being effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, using the modified retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. Adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
The Company’s accounting policy for revenue was updated as a result of the adoption of ASU 2014-09. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the five-step model as prescribed by ASU 2014-09 in which the Company evaluates the transfer of promised goods or services and recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for the goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASU 2014-09, the Company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognize the revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Thanksgiving Coffee Company, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018
The Company has evaluated the provisions of ASU 2014-09 and assessed its impact on the Company’s financial statements, information systems, business processes, and financial statement disclosures. The Company has analyzed its revenue streams, performed detailed contract reviews for each stream, and evaluated the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on revenue recognition. The Company’s primary sources of revenue are sales of coffee and complementary products. The Company primarily recognizes revenue at point of sale or delivery and has determined that this will not change under the new standard. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material effect on the results of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Company.
Leases
We adopted ASU No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842), as amended, as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods that approximates the results of a full retrospective approach. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.
In addition, we elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. In our application of hindsight, we evaluated the performance of the leased warehouse and office equipment, which resulted in the determination that most renewal options would not be reasonably certain in determining the expected lease term
Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $627,790 and $603,611 respectively, as of March 31, 2019. The difference between the additional lease assets and lease liabilities, net of the deferred tax impact, was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.

2. | Accounts Receivable |
Accounts receivable consist of the following:
3/31/2019 | 12/31/2018 | |||||||
Accounts receivable | $ | 289,152 | $ | 226,104 | ||||
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts | (7,170 | ) | (7,315 | ) | ||||
Net accounts receivable | $ | 281,982 | $ | 218,789 |
The Company utilizes a percentage method to establish the allowance for doubtful accounts. The estimated allowance ranges from 1% to 10% of outstanding receivables based on factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Delinquent accounts are written off when it is determined that amounts are uncollectible. Bad debt expense (recovery) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $924 and ($1,727) respectively.
As of March 31, 2019, accounts receivables from company A in the amount of $1,192 has been outstanding since February 2018, receivables from company B in the amount of $4,642 has been outstanding since October 2018 and accounts receivable from company C in the amount of $2,608 have been outstanding since December 2018. Because the Company has an on going business relationship with these companies it anticipates collecting the full amount.

5. Finance Lease and Operating Lease
ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” requires leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet. We adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach with an effective date as of the beginning of our fiscal year, January 1, 2019. Prior year financial statements were not recast under the new standard, and, therefore, those amounts are not presented below.
We lease a warehouse, heavy machinery, and office equipment under finance and operating leases. As of March 31, 2019, we had two operating and five finance leases with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to six years. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Some of our leases include renewal options that are factored into our determination of lease payments when appropriate. We did not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts for any asset class.
None of our leases require us to provide a residual value guarantee. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however some of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.
Lease Position as of March 31, 2019
The table below presents the lease-related assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018
6. Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Company’s deferred tax assets consist of the benefit from net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and temporary differences. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years through 2034. The Company’s deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operation loss carryforwards. Net operating loss carryforwards may be further limited by a change in company ownership and other provisions of the tax laws.
9. Related Party Transactions
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had green contracts with three cooperatives in Nicaragua. Ethical Trading and Investment Company of Nicaragua (ETICO) is the importer for the transactions. Nicholas Hoskyns, a Director of the Company, is the managing Director of ETICO. At March 31, 2019, amounts owed to ETICO totaled $45,588 and in 2018 was $26,929. In the first three months of March 31, 2019 and 2018 we have paid $148,105 and $194,226 respectively. All the amounts owed are current and were paid accordance with our standard vendor payment policies. The loss of the ETICO relationship could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business in the short term. Management believes other options are available that could be utilized in the event the ETICO relationship was terminated.
10. Disclosure
During 2019, The Company determined that the Application of ASC 842 had not been accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This error was discovered after the issuance of the 2019 March 31st Quarterly Financial Statements.

SUMMARY
Sales of the Company have eroded over the prior years due to declines in the direct distribution sales method of the Company’s business (i.e., delivery by company truck). Increased competition, customer attrition and customers roasting green beans for their own use have all had a negative impact on the Company’s sales. In the first quarter of this year the Company is experiencing an increase in sales because one of its distributors had a fire which curtailed what they could roast in house. In addition, the Company continues to try a number of strategies that may or may not prove effective in abating these declines. The Company has changed its method of distribution to rely less on direct distribution (with only three routes) and instead uses independent distributors or ships direct (via UPS or other common carrier). In addition, the Company is trying to focus increasing its on-line sales with a continued emphasis on its presence in social media, growing its email list and linking its search optimization. The effects of these changes on the Company’s sales will reduce distribution expenses. Because of the limited impact of these changes, as well as the increase in cost of sales and other factors noted herein, there can be no assurances that the Company will be profitable in any future period, and, as a consequence, the Company is considering various strategic alternatives.
The Company pays substantially more for its green beans than the market price, because of quality, the organic nature of many of its lines and the fact that it uses fair-traded coffees. Green bean costs have remained stable but any rise will place pressure on margins. If green bean costs continue as is or rise, whether as a consequence of inclement weather in a major producing area or any other event that affects green bean pricing, and if the Company cannot offset costs by raising prices, it would have a negative impact on the Company and its margins.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2019 versus March 31, 2018
Increase (Decrease) | Percent Change | |||||||
Net Sales | $ | 297,099 | 37.4 | % | ||||
Cost of Sales | 111,294 | 23.0 | % | |||||
Gross Margin% | 185,805 | 59.6 | % | |||||
Selling, G&A Expense | 2,163 | 0 .6 | % | |||||
Depreciation And Amortization | (3,120 | ) | (14.6 | %) | ||||
Other | (1,593 | ) | 5,310 | % | ||||
Net Gain/Loss | 184,369 | (246 | %) |
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $1,092,135, up 37.4%, or over $297,099 when compared with net sales of $795,036 for the same period in fiscal 2018
Distribution revenues (e.g., revenues generated by the Company’s own truck distribution) were down $28,098 or (9.01%) for the three months ended March 31, 2019, when compared with distribution sales for the same period in 2018. The decline appears to be a result of slower volume for existing customers as no customers have been lost.
National revenues (e.g., revenues not derived by mail order and direct truck distribution) increased $321,780, or 84.55% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 when compared to national sales for the same period in 2018. This increase reflects the increased sales from a distributor who suffered a major fire and was not able to fulfill all their orders for the cafes they own. Thanksgiving is roasting all their coffees and not a selected variety as in the past. This is a short term fix until they are again fully operational.
Mail order revenues (e.g., revenues generated from products sold directly to the consumer either through print media or the Internet) decreased $17,300 or (13.92%) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 when compared to mail order sales for the same period in 2018. The decrease in the mail order division was attributable to the increase in completion with other on line competitors.
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $594,372, up 23%, or $111,294 when compared to the cost of sales of $483,078 for the same period in 2018. The increase reflects the increase in sales in the first three months of 2019.
Gross margin percentage (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was, up 59.6% when compared with the increased gross margin of 12.84% for the same period in 2018. Increased sales in the three months ended March 2019 resulted in an increase in gross margins amounts compared to the same period in 2018.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $367,653 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of 0.6% when compared with the selling, general and administrative expenses of $365,490 for the same period in 2018. The increase was a result of reduced audit fees in 2018.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $18,262, a (14.6%) decrease, or nearly ($3,120) when compared to the depreciation expense of $21,382 for the same period in 2018. The decrease reflects the disposal of old equipment.
As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company recorded net income of $109,425 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to a loss of ($74,944) for the same period in 2018.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had working capital of $399,258 versus working capital of $371,667 as of December 31, 2018. The increase in working capital is due primarily profitable results experienced in the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $59,440 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to net cash used in operating activities of ($57,746) during the same period in 2018. The increase in the net cash was due to the increase in net revenue.
Cash used in investing activities was ($723) for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to ($7,563) used in the same period in 2018.
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was ($12,991) compared to net cash used in financing activities of ($11,383) during the same period in 2018. The cash used by financing activities was a result of paying existing debt.
At March 31, 2018, the Company had total borrowings of $71,572.

The Company is dependent on successfully executing its business plan to achieve profitable operations, obtaining additional sources of borrowings (including normal trade credit) and securing favorable financing arrangements (including lease financing) to finance its working capital needs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in this regard. If the Company is not able to meet its credit obligations the stability of the Company’s business would be in question.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
From time to time, the Company enters into various transactions with its majority shareholders, Paul and Joan Katzeff.
SEASONALITY AND OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE
The Company’s business is seasonal in nature. The seasonal availability of green bean coffee in the first two quarters of the year and increased sales in the last quarter historically create a high use of cash and a build up in inventories in the first two quarters, with a corresponding decrease in inventory and increase in cash in the last quarter. In 2019 the Company continues to keep tight control on its inventory supply, resulting in less on hand in the first quarter of 2019.
Because of the seasonality of the Company’s business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year. Furthermore, past seasonal patterns are not necessarily indicative of future results.
INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by California law. The Company believes that indemnification under its Bylaws also permits the Company to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in such capacity, regardless of whether California law would permit indemnification. The Company maintains such liability insurance for its Directors and certain officers and employees.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any Director, officer, employee or agent of the Company where indemnification would be required or permitted. The Company is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or proceeding that might result in a claim for such indemnification.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company’s stock is generally illiquid and there have been few trades in recent years. There have been two trades in the Company’s Common Stock since 1999. In June 2004, 750 shares were traded at $4.50 per share. In December 2005, 400 shares were traded at $2.00 per share.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and President, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(f). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and President concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2018.
Management has identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:
● | Application of New Accounting Standards – we did not have appropriate controls in place to ensure proper and timely implementation of new accounting standards; specifically with respect to the adoption of ASC 842 – Leases. |
Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in our internal controls, we believe that our consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, our balance sheets at March 31, 2019 and our statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2019 in conformity with GAAP.
Part II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-None-
ITEM 1A. RISK Factors
The Company has concerns regarding the current economic situation. The United States and the global economy is experiencing instability in the commercial and investment banking systems which are likely to continue to have far-reaching effects on the economic activity in the country for an indeterminable period. The long-term impact on the United States economy and the Company’s operating activities and ability to raise capital cannot be predicted at this time, but may be substantial.
The Company’s coffee roasting facility is subject to state and local air-quality and emissions regulations. If the Company encounters difficulties in obtaining any necessary licenses or complying with these laws and regulations its ability to produce any of its roasted products would be severely limited. The Company believes it is in compliance in all material respects with all such laws and regulations and has obtained all material licenses that are required for the operation of its business. The Company is unaware of any environmental regulations that have or could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
