Risk Change Over Time
- Manufacturing - Risk 1If there was a significant interruption in the operation of our Colorado or Massachusetts New York facilities, we may not have the capacity to service all of our customers and we may not be able to service our customers in a timely manner, thereby reducing our revenues and earnings.
We are dependent on the continued operations of our Colorado and New York coffee roasting and distribution facilities. Our operations depend on our ability to maintain our computer and telecommunications equipment in effective working order and to protect against damage from fire, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failure or similar events. In addition, growth of our customer base may strain or exceed the capacity of our systems and lead to degradations in performance or systems failure. Although we continually review and consider upgrades to our order fulfillment infrastructure and provide for system redundancies to limit the likelihood of systems overload or failure, substantial damage to our systems or a systems failure that causes interruptions for a number of days could adversely affect our business. Additionally, if we are unsuccessful in updating and expanding our order fulfillment infrastructure, our ability to grow may be constrained. As a result, our revenues and earnings could be materially adversely affected.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 27
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The Gordon family has the ability to influence action requiring stockholder approval.
Members of the Gordon family, including Andrew Gordon, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and David Gordon, our Executive Vice President and Secretary, own, in the aggregate, approximately 23.1% of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, the Gordon family is able to influence the actions that require stockholder approval, including: - the election of our directors; - the amendment of our charter documents; and - the approval of mergers, sales of assets or other corporate transactions or matters submitted for stockholder approval. As a result, our other stockholders may have reduced influence over matters submitted for stockholder approval. In addition, the Gordon family's influence could preclude any unsolicited acquisition of us and consequently materially adversely affect the price of our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2The market price of our common stock has been volatile over the year and may continue to be volatile.
The market price and trading volume of our common stock has been volatile over the past year, and it may continue to be volatile. Over the past fiscal year, our common stock has traded as low as $2.75 and as high as $9.93 per share. We cannot predict the price at which our common stock will trade in the future, and the price of our common stock may decline. The price at which our common stock trades may fluctuate significantly and may be influenced by many factors, including our financial results, developments generally affecting the coffee industry, general economic, industry and market conditions, the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock, fluctuations in coffee prices, investor perceptions of our business, reports by industry analysts, negative announcements by our customers, competitors or suppliers regarding their own performances, and the impact of other "Risk Factors" discussed in this Annual Report.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Provisions in our articles of incorporation, bylaws and of Nevada law have anti-takeover effects that could prevent a change in control that could be beneficial to our stockholders, which could depress the market price of shares of our common stock.
Our articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada corporate law contain provisions that could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of us or our management that could be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for our stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. These provisions might also discourage a potential acquisition proposal or tender offer, even if the acquisition proposal or tender offer is at a price above the then-current market price for shares of our common stock. These provisions: - provide that directors may only be removed upon a vote of at least eighty percent of the shares outstanding; - establish advance notice requirements for nominating directors and proposing matters to be voted on by stockholders at stockholder meetings; - limit the right of our stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders; - authorize our board of directors to issue preferred stock and to determine the rights and preferences of those shares, which would be senior to our common stock, without prior stockholder approval; - require amendments to our articles of incorporation to be approved by the holders of at least eighty percent of our outstanding shares of common stock; - a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, which may delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of our board of directors; and - provide a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, thereby only permitting stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders. We are also subject to certain anti-takeover provisions under Nevada law. Under Nevada law, a corporation may not, in general, engage in a business combination with any "interested stockholder" for two (2) years after the date the person first became an interested stockholder, unless the combination meets all of the requirements of our articles of incorporation and (i) the purchase of shares by the interested stockholder is approved by our board of directors before that date or (ii) the combination is approved by our board of directors and, at or after that time, the combination is approved at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of the holders of stock representing at least sixty percent (60%) of our outstanding voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder or the affiliates or associates of the interested stockholder.
