Report on the Audit of the Combined Financial Statements

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the combined financial statements of Henry’s Foods, Inc. and The Eidsvold Family, LLC, which comprise the combined balance sheets as of January 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related combined statements of income and retained earnings/members’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the combined financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Henry’s Foods, Inc. and The Eidsvold Family, LLC as of January 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Combined Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Henry’s Foods, Inc. and The Eidsvold Family, LLC and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Combined Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the combined financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Henry’s Foods, Inc.’s and The Eidsvold Family, LLC’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the combined financial statements are issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Combined Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the combined financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

·Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

·Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements.

 

·Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Henry’s Foods, Inc.’s and The Eidsvold Family, LLC’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

·Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.

 

·Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Henry’s Foods, Inc.’s and The Eidsvold Family, LLC’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

HENRY'S FOODS, INC. AND

THE EIDSVOLD FAMILY, LLC

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2023 AND 2022

 

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Henry’s Foods, Inc. is a distributor of candy, tobacco, paper, grocery and food service products to retail and commercial customers in the Upper Midwest. The Eidsvold Family, LLC owns and leases to Henry’s Foods, Inc. its operating facility located in Alexandria, Minnesota.

 

Statement Presentation

 

The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis of Combination

 

The combined financial statements include the accounts of Henry’s Foods, Inc. and The Eidsvold Family, LLC (collectively “Companies”). Majority ownership of both Companies is with the same individuals. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

When preparing combined financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to operations and a credit to an allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to bad debt expense and a credit to accounts receivable.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value; cost is determined using last-in, first-out (LIFO) and average cost methods.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method using estimated useful lives of 15 to 20 years for land improvements, 5 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, 3 to 20 years for machinery and equipment, 5 to 10 years for transportation equipment, and 3 to 15 years for office equipment.

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when the expense is incurred. Expenditures determined to represent additions and betterments are capitalized.

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Revenue Recognition in Accordance with FASB ASC 606

 

Henry’s Foods, Inc.’s revenues are generally provided under at will arrangements under written terms and conditions. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the product to the customer, which occurs upon delivery. The transaction price can include variable consideration, such as discounts and rebates. Typical payment terms are net 7, net 10, net 14, or net end of month.

 

Henry’s Foods, Inc. is a distributor of candy, tobacco, paper, grocery and food service products in the upper Midwest. All transactions are initiated by authorization from the customer and each item requested is considered a distinct performance obligation. The Company’s sales are spread over numerous customers, reducing the risk of loss.

 

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable on the balance sheet. Amounts are billed upon completion of the Company’s performance obligation.

 

The net accounts receivable ending balances were as follows as of January 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively: $8,554,389, $7,324,869, and $6,913,856.

 

Cigarette and Tobacco Sales Taxes

 

Henry’s Foods, Inc. is responsible for taxes on all cigarette and tobacco products purchased. The Company purchases stamps from the State of Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin on a monthly basis to cover expected purchases. Stamps are maintained as an inventoried item at cost. All cigarette packs shipped out are required to have a stamp affixed. For tobacco shipments outside Minnesota, the Company receives a credit from the state as part of its monthly Cigarette Tax Return filing. Taxes are paid to the out-of-state taxing authorities with the monthly returns filed with those states. Tobacco taxes are accrued as part of the inventory item cost, and paid monthly with the return filing.

 

Advertising

 

Henry’s Foods, Inc. expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, were $148,661 and $69,178, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes on net income of Henry’s Foods, Inc. are payable personally by the stockholders pursuant to an election under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code not to have the Company taxed as a corporation. Income taxes on net income of The Eidsvold Family, LLC are payable personally by the members. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The Companies’ federal and state income tax returns are subject to possible examination by the taxing authorities until the expiration of the related statutes of limitations on those tax returns. In general, the federal and state income tax returns have a three year statute of limitations.

 

The Companies have elected to be taxed at the entity level rather than the individual stockholder or member level for certain state income taxes. The stockholders and members will receive a pro rata benefit for the taxes paid by the Companies, and accordingly, such payments are deemed to be attributable to the owners. Consequently, qualifying tax payments made by the Companies have been recorded as dividends to the stockholders and distributions to the members.

Leases

 

Effective February 1, 2022, Henry’s Foods, Inc. adopted the new lease accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The Company has elected the package of practical expedients permitted in ASC Topic 842. Accordingly, the Company accounted for its existing operating lease as an operating lease under the new guidance, without reassessing (a) whether the contract contains a lease under ASC Topic 842, (b) whether classification of the operating lease would be different in accordance with ASC Topic 842, or (c) whether the unamortized initial direct costs before transition adjustments (as of January 31, 2022) would have met the definition of initial direct costs in ASC Topic 842 at lease commencement. As a result of the adoption of the new lease accounting guidance, the Company recognized on February 1, 2022, a lease liability of $364,911 which represents the present value of the remaining lease payments using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 3.33%, and a right-of-use asset of $364,911.
