NOTES TO FINANCIAL

 

STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Nature of Operations:

 

T & L Creative Salad, Inc. (‘T&L”) was organized under the laws of the State of New York on March 2, 1988 and has elected to be taxed as a S Corporation on January 1, 2001. The company has a year-ended December 31.

 

T&L is a premier gourmet food manufacturer and distributor. The company manufactures a full line of foods for retail food chains and mass market club stores, delis, bagel stores, caterers and 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 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.

 

Basis of Presentation:

 

The financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, an allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, and other unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

T&L considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)

 

Risks and Uncertainties:

 

T&L operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and change in consumer demand. T&L’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure. T&L has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the grocery industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the T&L competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices pertaining to food and beverages in connection with T&L’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project T&L’s operating results on a consistent basis.

 

T&L maintains cash balances at various financial institutions, in which deposits are insured by a federal agency up to $250,000. At various times, cash balances at these institutions may exceed the insurance limits.

 

Accounts Receivable:

 

Trade accounts receivable are reported at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Differences between the amount due and the amount management expects to collect are reported in the results of operations of the year in which those differences are determined, with an offsetting entry to a valuation allowance for trade accounts receivable. Balances which are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2021 the Company had a Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $150,000.

 

Inventory:

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, or market, as determined by the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) valuation method. Inventories on September 30, 2021, consist of Raw Material, Work in Process and Finished Goods.

 

Property and Equipment:

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL

 

STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)

 

Income Taxes:

 

T&L is treated as a S Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. Consequently, T&L does not pay federal and state income taxes, but does pay city taxes. Instead, the stockholders’ include T&L’s taxable net income or loss on their personal tax returns.

 

T&L adopted the income tax standard for uncertain tax positions. As a result of the implementation, T&L has evaluated its tax position and determined it has no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2021. T&L classifies interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities, if applicable, as a component of income tax expense.

 

T&L’s federal income tax returns for 2018, 2019 and 2020 are subject to examination by the IRS and other state taxing authorities for three years after they were filed.

 

Revenue Recognition Policy:

 

T&L derives its revenues primarily from the sale of finished products to supermarkets and mass-market club stores, delis, bagel stores, caterers and distributors, contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer. Typically, revenue recognition occurs when the goods are transferred to its customers. T&L reports all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue. Under the new revenue guidance, T&L elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities, and the related costs are recorded as selling expenses in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense.

 

T&L promotes its products with advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions. These programs include discounts, slotting fees, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives and volume-based incentives. Customer trade promotion and consumer incentive activities are recorded as a reduction to the transaction price based on amounts estimated as being due to customers and consumers at the end of a period. T&L derives these estimates principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. T&L does not receive a distinct service in relation to the advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)

 

Revenue Recognition Policy: - (continued)

 

Payment terms in T & L’s invoices are based on the billing schedule established in contracts and purchase orders with customers. T & L recognizes the related trade receivable when the goods are shipped. Expenses such as slotting fees, sales discounts, promotions and allowances are accounted for as a direct reduction of revenues.

 

T&L does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale. Costs incurred to obtain a contract will be expensed as incurred when the amortization period is less than a year.

 

Variable Consideration:

 

The nature of T & L’s business gives rise to variable consideration, including rebates, allowances, and returns that generally decrease the transaction price which reduces revenue. These variable amounts are generally credited to the customer, based on achieving certain levels of sales activity, product returns or price concessions.

 

Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount that is expected to be earned. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that the significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are estimated based upon historical experience and known trends.

 

Cost of Sales:

 

Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production and manufacturing of the Company’s products. Costs include product development, freight-in, packaging, and print production costs.

 

Advertising Costs:

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense for the period ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $15,000.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Nature of Operations:

 

Olive Branch Foods, LLC (“OBF”) was organized under the laws of the State of New York on June 1, 2015 as a Limited Liability Company.

 

OBF is a packager and distributor in the New York metropolitan area of olives and savory products into supermarkets and local distributors.

 

Basis of Presentation:

 

The financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates:

 

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

OBF considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.

 

Risks and Uncertainties:

 

OBF operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and change in consumer demand. OBF’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure. OBF has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the grocery industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the OBF competes, including a potential general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices pertaining to food and beverages in connection with OBF’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project OBF’s operating results on a consistent basis.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

OBF maintains cash balances at various financial institutions, in which deposits are insured by a federal agency up to $250,000. At various times, cash balances at these institutions may exceed the insurance limits.

 

Accounts Receivable:

 

Trade accounts receivable are reported at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Differences between the amount due and the amount management expects to collect are reported in the results of operations of the year in which those differences are determined, with an offsetting entry to a valuation allowance for trade accounts receivable. Balances which are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable.

 

Inventory:

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, or market, as determined by the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) valuation method. Inventories on September 30, 2021, consist of Raw Material, Work in Process and Finished Goods.

 

Property and Equipment:

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using accelerated and straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Income Taxes:

 

OBF is treated as a Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Consequently, OBF does not pay federal and state income taxes. Instead, the stockholders include OBF’s taxable net income or loss on their personal tax returns.

 

OBF adopted the income tax standard for uncertain tax positions. As a result of the implementation, T & L has evaluated its tax position and determined it has no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2021. OBF classifies interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities, if applicable, as a component of income tax expense.

 

OBF’s federal income tax return for 2018, 2019 and 2020 are subject to examination by the IRS and other state taxing authorities, generally for three years after it was filed.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)

 

Revenue Recognition:

 

OBF derives its revenues primarily from the sale of finished products to supermarkets and mass-market club stores, delis, bagel stores, caterers and distributors, contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when ownership, risks and rewards transfer. Typically, revenue recognition occurs when the goods are transferred to its customers. OBF reports all amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction as revenue. Under the new revenue guidance, OBF elected to treat shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities, and the related costs are recorded as selling expenses in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense.

 

OBF promotes its products with advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions. These programs include discounts, slotting fees, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives and volume-based incentives. Customer trade promotion and consumer incentive activities are recorded as a reduction to the transaction price based on amounts estimated as being due to customers and consumers at the end of a period. OBF derives these estimates principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. OBF does not receive a distinct service in relation to the advertising, consumer incentives and trade promotions.

 

Payment terms in the OBF’s invoices are based on the billing schedule established in contracts and purchase orders with customers. OBF recognizes the related trade receivable when the goods are shipped. Expenses such as slotting fees, sales discounts, promotions and allowances are accounted for as a direct reduction of revenues.

 

OBF does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale. Costs incurred to obtain a contract will be expensed as incurred when the amortization period is less than a year.

 

Variable Consideration:

 

The nature of the OBF’s business gives rise to variable consideration, including rebates, allowances, and returns that generally decrease the transaction price which reduces revenue. These variable amounts are generally credited to the customer, based on achieving certain levels of sales activity, product returns or price concessions.

 

Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount that is expected to be earned. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that the significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are estimated based upon historical experience and known trends.
