prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein may contain forward
looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained
in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein, including statements
regarding future events, our future financial performance, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations,
are forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including &ldquo;anticipates,&rdquo;

unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. These statements are only predictions
and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; or
elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, which may cause our or our industry&rsquo;s actual results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a highly
regulated, very competitive, and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict
all risk factors, nor can we address the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors,
may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.</FONT></P>

have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and assumptions about future events and financial trends
that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short term and long term business operations,
and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results
to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this prospectus, and in particular, the risks discussed below and under the heading
&ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; and those discussed in other documents we file with the SEC which are incorporated by reference herein. This
prospectus, and any accompanying prospectus supplement, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for
the fiscal years ended October 31, 2024 and 2023 and related notes, which are incorporated by reference herein.</FONT></P>

branded and private label roasted ground coffees are sold at competitive and value price levels, while some of our other branded and

AA Arabica coffee, which sell at a substantial premium over traditional retail canned coffee, while competitive and value price level
coffee is mainstream or traditional canned coffee. Because of this diversification, we believe that our profitability is not dependent

overall economic volatility.</FONT></P>

the competitive retail specialty coffee environment.</FONT></P>

Green Coffee.</I></B> The specialty coffee market remains the fastest growing area of our industry. The number of gourmet coffee houses
have been increasing in all areas of the United States. The growth in specialty coffee sales has created a marketplace for higher quality
and differentiated products, which can be priced at a premium in the marketplace. As a large roaster-dealer of green coffee, we are favorably
positioned to increase our specialty coffee sales. We sell green coffee beans to small roasters and coffee shop operators located throughout
the United States and carry over approximately 90 different varieties. Specialty green coffee beans are sold unroasted, direct from warehouses
to small roasters and gourmet coffee shop operators, which then roast the beans themselves. We sell from as little as one bag (132 pounds)
to a full truckload (44,000 pounds) of specialty green coffee beans, depending on the size and need of the customer. We believe that
we can increase sales of wholesale green coffee without an increase in infrastructure and without venturing into the highly competitive
retail specialty coffee environment. We believe that by utilizing our current strategy we can be as profitable as, or more profitable
than, our competitors in this segment by selling &ldquo;one bag at a time&rdquo; rather than &ldquo;one cup at a time.&rdquo;</FONT></P>

us that it intends to make a market in the offered securities, such underwriter would not be obligated to do so, and any such market-making

underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation
M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering
size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing
bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities,
either through exercise of the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions.
Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer
are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities
to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.</FONT></P>

law, NRS Sections 78.411 through 78.444, regulate business combinations with interested stockholders. Nevada law defines an &ldquo;interested
stockholder&rdquo; as a beneficial owner (directly or indirectly) of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the
corporation. Pursuant to Sections NRS 78.411 through 78.444, combinations with an interested stockholder remain prohibited for two years
after the person became an interested stockholder unless (i) the transaction is approved by the board of directors or the holders of
a majority of the outstanding shares not beneficially owned by the interested party, or (ii) the interested stockholder satisfies certain
fair value requirements. NRS 78.434 permits a Nevada corporation to opt-out of the statute with appropriate provisions in its articles
of incorporation. We have not opted out of these sections in our articles of incorporation and have adopted specific requirements for
approval of transactions with interested stockholders. The affirmative vote of at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares
of stock of the Company is required to approve certain business combinations with an interested stockholder after the expiration of three
years after the date the person becomes an interested stockholder. In addition to the foregoing, one of the following must occur as well:
(i) the business combination is approved by our board prior to the date the person became an interested stockholder, (ii) the transaction
by which the individual became an interested stockholder was approved by our board prior to the date such shares were purchased, (iii)
the business combination is approved by the affirmative vote of the majority in interest of the Company&rsquo;s shares not beneficially
owned by the interested stockholder at a meeting of the Company prior to the expiration of the three year period after the person first
became an interested stockholder, or (iv) the consideration to be received by all shares not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder
equals or exceeds thresholds set forth by the NRS.</FONT></P>

company that meets certain requirements and is selected by us. The depositary will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Each owner of a depositary share will be entitled to all of the rights and preferences of the preferred stock represented by the depositary
share. The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement. Depositary receipts will

used in this prospectus, the term &ldquo;debt securities&rdquo; means the debentures, notes, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness

as an Indenture), which are contracts entered into between us and a trustee to be named therein. The Indenture has been filed as an exhibit
to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We may issue debt securities and incur additional indebtedness other
than through the offering of debt securities pursuant to this prospectus. It is likely that convertible debt securities will not be issued
under an Indenture.</FONT></P>

trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the

of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the
depositary or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary
will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants&rsquo; accounts with the respective principal or face
amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution
of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will
be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect
to interests of participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants.
The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form.
These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities.</FONT></P>

by the registered global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities
in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement
or unit agreement. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures
of the depositary for that registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant
through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit
agreement. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest
in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable indenture,
warrant agreement or unit agreement, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant
beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give
or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.</FONT></P>

of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held
through participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities
held for the accounts of customers or registered in &ldquo;street name,&rdquo; and will be the responsibility of those participants.</FONT></P>
