NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management, and which statements
involve substantial risk and uncertainties. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical
fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, market growth
and trends, and objectives for future operations are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future
events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain
words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,”
“could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,”
“estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or
other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions.
These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risks related
to our expectations regarding the impact of the coronavirus pandemic (the “COVID-19 pandemic”), including the easing of related
regulations and measures as the pandemic and its related effects begin to abate or have abated, on our business, results of operations,
financial condition, and future profitability and growth; our expectations regarding the impact of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic on the
businesses of our customers, partners and suppliers, and the economy, as well as the macro- and micro-effects of the pandemic and differing
levels of demand for our products as our customers’ priorities, resources, financial conditions and economic outlook change; global
macro-economic conditions, including the effects of inflation, rising interest rates and market volatility on the global economy; our
ability to estimate the size of our total addressable market, and the development of the market for our products, which is new and evolving;
our ability to effectively sustain and manage our growth and future expenses, achieve and maintain future profitability, attract new customers
and maintain and expand our existing customer base; our ability to scale and update our platform to respond to customers’ needs
and rapid technological change; the effects of increased competition in our market and our ability to compete effectively; our ability
to expand use cases within existing customers and vertical solutions; our ability to expand our operations and increase adoption of our
platform internationally; our ability to strengthen and foster our relationships with developers; our ability to expand our direct sales
force, customer success team and strategic partnerships around the world; the impact of any data breaches, cyberattacks or other malicious
activity on our technology systems; our ability to identify targets for and execute potential acquisitions; our ability to successfully
integrate the operations of businesses we may acquire, and to realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions; our ability to maintain,
protect and enhance our brand; the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents and capital resources to satisfy our liquidity needs; limitations
on us due to obligations we have under our credit facility or other indebtedness; our failure or the failure of our software to comply
with applicable industry standards, laws and regulations; our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property; our
ability to successfully defend litigation against us; our ability to attract large organizations as users; our ability to maintain our
corporate culture; our ability to offer high-quality customer support; our ability to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel, including
executive level management; our ability to successfully manage and integrate executive management transitions; our ability to estimate
the size and potential growth of our target market; uncertainties regarding the impact of general economic and market conditions, including
as a result of regional and global conflicts or related government sanctions; our ability to successfully implement and maintain new and
existing information technology systems, including our ERP system; and our ability to maintain proper and effective internal controls.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions
of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current
expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations,
and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors
described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation
to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to conform such statements to actual
results or revised expectations, except as required by law.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Reborn Coffee, Inc. (“Reborn”) was incorporated
in the State of Florida in January 2018. In July 2022, Reborn was migrated from Florida to Delaware, and filed a certificate of incorporation
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware having the same capitalization structure as the Florida predecessor entity. Reborn
has the following wholly owned subsidiaries:
●
Reborn Global Holdings, Inc. (“Reborn Holdings”), a California Corporation incorporated in November 2014. Reborn Holdings is engaged in the operation of wholesale distribution and retail coffee stores in California to sell a variety of coffee, tea, Reborn brand name water and other beverages along with bakery and dessert products.
● Reborn Coffee Franchise, LLC (the “Reborn Coffee Franchise”), a California limited liability corporation formed in December 2020, is a franchisor providing premier roaster specialty coffee to franchisees or customers. Reborn Coffee Franchise continues to develop the Reborn Coffee system for the establishment and operation of Reborn Coffee stores using one or more Reborn Coffee marks. The franchisee obtains a license to develop and operate a store under the strict compliance with terms of the agreement. The specific rights the franchisee is granted is to develop, own, and/or operate franchisee’s Reborn Coffee stores. The non-refundable initial franchise fee is $ 20,000 . In addition, the franchisee is required to pay the company a royalty fee equal to 5 % of the weekly gross sales of their respective store.
Reborn Coffee, Inc., Reborn Global Holdings, Inc., and Reborn
Coffee Franchise, LLC will be collectively referred as the “ Company ”.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include Reborn Coffee, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as promulgated in the United
States of America. The consolidated financial statements include Reborn Coffee, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany
accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Reverse Stock Split
In June 2022, the Company approved (a) the conversion of
all Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, (b) a 1 for 100 reverse stock split , and (c) an amendment to Articles of Incorporation
to eliminate Class B and to change “Class A” to simply “common stock”. All share and earnings per share information
have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split and the incremental par value of the newly issued shares was recorded with
the offset to additional paid-in capital.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization
of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 9,979,164 at June
30, 2022, had a net loss of $ 1,502,260 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and net cash used in operating activities of $ 1,199,979
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
While the Company is attempting to expand operations and
increase revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management
intends to raise additional funds by way of public or private offerings. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to
further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While
management believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no
assurances to that effect or if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern
is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate additional profit. Compared to the revenue
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, however, net revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 has increased from $ 880,121
to $ 1,541,626 , and the Company expects consistent increase in sales with the opening of more stores. In August 2022, the Company
consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 1,440,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of
$ 5.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $ 7,200,000 . The initial public offering is summarized in Note 12 to the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates include
accounts receivables, accrued liabilities, income taxes, long-lived assets, and deferred tax valuation allowances. These estimates generally
involve complex issues and require management to make judgments, involve analysis of historical and future trends that can require extended
periods of time to resolve, and are subject to change from period to period. In all cases, actual results could differ materially from
estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The Company’s net revenue primarily
consists of revenues from its retail stores and wholesale and online store. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue as follows:
●
Retail Store Revenue
Retail store revenues are recognized when payment is tendered
at the point of sale. Retail store revenues are reported net of sales, use or other transaction taxes that are collected from customers
and remitted to taxing authorities. Sales taxes that are payable are recorded as accrued as other current liabilities. Retail store revenue
makes up approximately 98 % of the Company’s total revenue.
●
Wholesale and Online Revenue
Wholesale and online revenues are recognized when the products
are delivered, and title passes to the customers or to the wholesale distributors. When customers pick up products at the Company’s
warehouse, or distributed to the wholesale distributors, the title passes, and revenue is recognized. Wholesale revenues make up approximately
2 % of the Company’s total revenue.
●
Royalties and Other Fees
Franchise revenues consists of royalties and other franchise
fees. Royalties are based on a percentage of franchisee’s weekly gross sales revenue at 5 %. The Company recognizes the royalties
as the underlying sales occur. The Company recorded revenue from royalties of $ 0 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Other fees are earned as incurred and the Company did not have any other fee revenue for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and
2021.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company incurred freight out cost and is included in
the Company’s cost of sales - wholesale and online.

and leasehold improvements, and are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the lease term,
including renewal periods that are reasonably assured.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are stated net of allowance for doubtful
accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined primarily on the basis of past collection experience and general economic
conditions. The Company determines terms and conditions for its customers based on volume transacted by the customer, customer creditworthiness
and past transaction history. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 0 and $ 0 , respectively. The
Company does not have any off-balance sheet exposure related to its customers.
Inventories
Inventories consisted primarily of coffee beans, drink products,
and supplies which are recorded at cost or at net realizable value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided using both the straight-line and declining
balance methods over the following estimated useful lives:
Furniture and fixtures
5 - 7 Years
Store construction
Lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, generally 6 years
Leasehold improvement
Lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, generally 6 years
When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated
depreciation thereon are removed, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Leasehold
improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset, not to exceed the length of the lease.
Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Operating Leases
The Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification,
or ASC, Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) which requires the recognition of the right-of-use assets and relating operating and
finance lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Under ASC 842, all leases are required to be recorded on the balance sheet and are classified
as either operating leases or finance leases. The lease classification affects the expense recognition in the income statement. Operating
lease charges are recorded entirely in operating expenses. Finance lease charges are split, where amortization of the right-of-use asset
is recorded in operating expenses and an implied interest component is recorded in interest expense.
Earnings Per Share
Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator
of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) computations.
7
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing
net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
(loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional
common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were
dilutive. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents,
because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The Company did not have any dilutive shares for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Segment Reporting
FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires public companies
to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. The Company’s management identifies operating
segments based on how the Company’s management internally evaluate separate financial information, business activities and management
responsibility. At the current time, the Company has only one reportable segment, consisting of both the wholesale and retail sales of
coffee, water, and other beverages. The Company’s franchisor subsidiary was not material as of and for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and
Equipment, the Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. The Company considers the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable
based upon our review of the following events or changes in circumstances: the asset’s ability to continue to generate income from
operations and positive cash flow in future periods; loss of legal ownership or title to the assets; significant changes in our strategic
business objectives and utilization of the asset; or significant negative industry or economic trends. An impairment loss would be recognized
when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset are less than its carrying amount. As of June 30, 2022 and
December 31, 2021, the Company was not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the long-lived assets
are impaired.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company records its financial assets and liabilities
at fair value, which is defined under the applicable accounting standards as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or
paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants on the measure date. The Company uses valuation techniques to measure fair value, maximizing the use of observable
outputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs,
of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable,
either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active;
or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or
liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs include management’s best estimate
of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market
and significant to the instrument’s valuation.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company believes
that the carrying value of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current assets and liabilities approximate
fair value due to the short maturity of theses financial instruments. The financial statements do not include any financial instruments
at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions
reported in the financial statements and consisted of taxes currently due and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for the differences
between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes.
The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which
requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included
in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future
years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on
enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC 740-10-25 provides
criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax position. The Company must recognize the tax benefit
from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing
authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from
such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
The Company did not recognize additional liabilities for uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC 740-10-25 for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company
to concentrations of credit risk are accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations to its customers and establishes allowances when appropriate.
Company purchases from various vendors for its operations.
For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, no purchases from any vendors accounted for a significant amount of
the Company’s bean coffee purchases.
Related Parties
Related parties are any entities or individuals that, through
employment, ownership, or other means, possess the ability to direct or cause the direction of management and policies of the Company.
Significant Recent Developments Regarding COVID-19
The novel coronavirus, known as the global pandemic COVID-19,
was first identified in December 2019. During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the
rapidly spreading outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus designated COVID-19. The pandemic has significantly impacted economic conditions
in the United States. The outbreak of the virus impacted our company-owned retail locations in Southern California.
The Company first began to experience impacts from COVID-19
around the middle of March 2020 as federal, state and local governments began to react to the public health crisis by encouraging or requiring
social distancing, instituting stay-at-home orders, and requiring, in varying degrees, restaurant dine-in limitations, capacity limitations
or other restrictions that largely limited restaurants to take-out, drive-thru and delivery sales. Although we have experienced some recovery
from the initial impact of COVID-19, the long-term impact of COVID-19 on the economy and on our business remains uncertain, the duration
and scope of which cannot currently be predicted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 revises the methodology
for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. Originally, ASU 2016-13 was effective
for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.
In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic
815), and Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for public companies that are considered smaller
reporting companies as defined by the SEC to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal
years. The Company is planning to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.The Company is currently evaluating the potential
effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements, particularly its recognition of allowances
for accounts receivable.
Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected
to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Paycheck Protection Program Loan (the “PPP Loan”)
is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The interest rate of the loan is 1.00 % per annum and
accrues on the unpaid principal balance computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. Commencing seven
months after the effective date of the PPP Loan, the Company is required to pay the Lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest
as required to fully amortize any unforgiven principal balance of the loan by the two-year anniversary of the effective date of the PPP
Loan (the “Maturity Date”). The PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults,
making materially false or misleading representations to the SBA or the Lender, or breaching the terms of the PPP Loan. The occurrence
of an event of default may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the PPP Loan, collection of all amounts owing from
the Company, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against the Company. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply
for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to
limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities.
Recent modifications to the PPP by the U.S. Treasury and Congress have extended the time period for loan forgiveness beyond the original
eight-week period, making it possible for the Company to apply for forgiveness of its PPP loan.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had available net operating
loss carryovers of approximately $ 8,423,841 . Per the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) implemented in 2018, the two-year carryback provision
was removed and now allows for an indefinite carryforward period. The carryforwards are limited to 80 % of each subsequent year’s net income.
As a result, net operating loss may be applied against future taxable income and expires at various dates subject to certain limitations.
The Company has a deferred tax asset arising substantially from the benefits of such net operating loss deduction and has recorded a valuation
allowance for the full amount of this deferred tax asset since it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset may
not be realized.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal
jurisdiction and California and is subject to income tax examinations by federal tax authorities for tax year ended 2017 and later and
subject to California authorities for tax year ended 2016 and later. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority.
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2022 and
December 31, 2021, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cumulative net operating
loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes of approximately $ 9,926,101 . In addition, the Company had state tax net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $ 9,926,101 . The carryforwards may be applied against future taxable income and expires at various dates subject to certain

10. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
The Company has authorization to issue and have outstanding
at any one time 40,000,000 share of common stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. The shareholders of common stock shall be entitled
to one vote per share and dividends declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.
In June 2022, the Company approved (a) the conversion of
all Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, (b) a 1 for 100 reverse split, and (c) an amendment to Articles of Incorporation to
eliminate Class B and to change “Class A” to simply “common stock”. All share and earnings per share information
have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split and the incremental par value of the newly issued shares was recorded with
the offset to additional paid-in capital.
Preferred Stock
The Company has authorization to issue and have outstanding
at any one time 1,000,000 share of preferred stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share, in one or more classes or series within a class
as may be determined by our board of directors, who establish, from time to time, the number of shares to be included in each class or
series, fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such class or series and any qualifications, limitations
or restrictions thereof. Any preferred stock so issued is senior to other existing classes of common stock with respect to the payment
of dividends or amounts upon liquidation or dissolution. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no shares of our preferred stock had
been designated any rights and we had no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
Subscription of Common Stock Receivables
The Company issued 1,569,768 shares of common stock to several
individuals in March 2020 and in December 2020 for total proceeds of $ 1,350,000 , of which $ 553,500 was received in January, February,
and June 2021.
Issuance of Common Stock in Settlement of Antidilution
Provisions
In May 2018, the Company had entered into a share exchange
agreement wherein Capax, Inc., the predecessor entity of Reborn Coffee, Inc. (“Capax”) effectively merged with Reborn Global
Holdings, Inc. to form the Company. In this share exchange agreement, the preexisting shareholder of Capax were provided covenants that
for a period of one year following the date upon which the Company is approved for quotation or trading on a public exchange (“IPO”),
the percentage of ownership of the prior shareholders of Capax would not be less than the 5% of the total number of shares of voting common
stock outstanding of the Company that they owned following the share exchange. In the event the ownership of the pre-merger shareholders
of Capax fell below 5%, the Company was obligated to issue that number of shares of common stock to those shareholders which would increase
the ownership of all of the Pre-Merger Shareholders to five percent (5%) of the total outstanding voting common shares of the Company.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 325,495 shares of common stock under these provisions.
On January 25, 2022, the Company modified this agreement
with the preexisting shareholders to effectively end the antidilution protection at the time of a successful IPO, eliminating the one-year
period following an IPO as provided under the original agreement. The shareholders would be entitled to additional protection through
the IPO date should the Company issue any additional shares between December 31, 2021 and the IPO date. The Company has not issued any
additional shares subsequent to December 31, 2021.
Dividend policy
Dividends are paid at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
There were no dividends declared for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related
notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial
statements included in our Prospectus on Form S-1. As discussed in the section titled “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,”
the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions
that, if they never materialize or prove incorrect, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those identified
below and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Prospectus filed on Form S-1 (File No: 333-261937).
Business
Reborn Coffee is focused on serving high quality, specialty-roasted
coffee at retail locations, kiosks and cafes. We are an innovative company that strives for constant improvement in the coffee experience
through exploration of new technology and premier service, guided by traditional brewing techniques. We believe Reborn differentiates
itself from other coffee roasters through its innovative techniques, including sourcing, washing, roasting, and brewing our coffee beans
with a balance of precision and craft.
Founded in 2015 by Jay Kim, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kim and
his team launched Reborn Coffee with the vision of using the finest pure ingredients and pristine water. We currently serve customers
through our retail store locations in California: Brea, La Crescenta, Glendale, Corona Del Mar, Arcadia, Laguna Woods, Riverside, San
Francisco and Manhattan Beach, with four other locations in development. Additionally, we expect to begin franchising in 2022 and expect
to continue to develop additional retail locations as we expand outside of California. We estimate that the average development cost of
a company-owned retail location is approximately $150,000. Therefore, taking into account the proceeds from this offering and within a
year from its completion, we expect to open up to 20 company-owned retail locations (using approximately $3,000,000 of the proceeds of
this offering) and 20 franchise locations (all costs and expenses associated with a franchise store location development are borne by
the franchisees). We acknowledge that we have not yet signed any franchise agreements and that such number of franchise locations is purely
speculative. Reborn Coffee continues to elevate the high-end coffee experience and we received 1st place traditional still in “America’s
Best Cold Brew” competition by Coffee Fest in 2017 in Portland and 2018 in Los Angeles.
The Experience, Reborn
As leading pioneers of the emerging “Fourth Wave” movement,
Reborn Coffee is redefining specialty coffee as an experience that demands much more than premium quality. We consider ourselves leaders
of the “fourth wave” coffee movement because we are constantly developing our bean processing methods, researching design
concepts, and reinventing new ways of drinking coffee. For instance, the current transition from the K-Cup trend to the pour over drip
concept allowed us to reinvent the way people consume coffee, by merging convenience and quality. We took the pour over drip concept and
made it available and affordable to the public through our Reborn Coffee Pour Over packs. Our Pour Over Packs allow our consumers to consume
our specialty coffee outdoors and on-the-go.
Our success in innovating within the “fourth wave” coffee
movement is measured by our success in B2B sales with our introduction of Reborn Coffee Pour Over Packs to hotels. With the introduction
of our Pour Over Packs to major hotels (including one hotel company with 7 locations), our B2B sales increased as these companies recognized
the convenience and functionality our Pour Over Packs serve to their customers.
Reborn Coffee’s continuous Research and Development is essential
to developing new parameters in the production of new blends. Our 1st place position in “America’s Best Cold Brew” competition
by Coffee Fest in 2017 in Portland and 2018 in Los Angeles is a testament to the way we believe we lead the “fourth wave”
movement by example.
Centered around its core values of service, trust, and well-being,
Reborn Coffee delivers an appreciation of coffee as both a science and an art. Developing innovative processes such as washing green coffee
beans with magnetized water, we challenge traditional preparation methods by focusing on the relationship between water chemistry, health,
and flavor profile. Leading research studies, testing brewing equipment, and refining roasting/brewing methods to a specific, Reborn Coffee
proactively distinguishes exceptional quality from good quality by starting at the foundation and paying attention to the details. Our
mission places an equal emphasis on humanizing the coffee experience, delivering a fresh take on “farm-to-table” by sourcing
internationally. In this way, Reborn Coffee creates opportunities to develop transparency by paying homage to origin stories and spark
new conversations by building cross-cultural communities united by a passion for the finest coffee.
Through a broad product offering, Reborn Coffee provides customers
with a wide variety of beverages and coffee options. As a result, we believe we can capture share of any experience where customers seek
to consume great beverages whether in our inviting store atmospheres which are designed for comfort, or on the go through our pour over
packs, or at home with our whole bean ground coffee bags. We believe that the retail coffee market in the US is large and growing. According
to IBIS, in 2021, the retail market for coffee in the United States is expected to be $46.2 billion. This is expected to grow due to a
shift in consumer preferences to premium coffee, including specialized blends, espresso-based beverages, and cold brew options. Reborn
aims to capture a growing portion of the market as we expand and increase consumer awareness of our brand.
20
Plan of Operation
We have a production and distribution center at our headquarters that
we use to process and roast coffee for wholesale and retail distribution.
Currently, we have the following nine retail coffee locations, and
four locations in development (i.e., Cabazon, Huntington Beach, Irvine and Mission Viejo, California):
●
La Floresta Shopping Village in Brea, California;
●
La Crescenta, California;
●
Glendale Galleria in Glendale, California;
●
Galleria at Tyler in Riverside, California;
●
Home Depot Center in Laguna Woods, California;
●
Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco, California (opened in first quarter of 2022);
●
Corona Del Mar, California;
●
Santa Anita Westfield Mall in Arcadia, California; and
●
Manhattan Village at Manhattan Beach, California.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting disruptions including, without
limitation, governmental lockdown mandates and restrictions, made 2020 a challenging year for businesses, particularly in the foodservice
and restaurant industries. Reborn Coffee took immediate action to protect the health and safety of our employees and customers including
the implementation of all operating protocols dictated by state and local guidelines and instituting strict health and safety practices.
Fortunately, we did not experience any significant disruptions in our supply chain operations.
Despite efforts to ensure a safe consumer experience, we did experience
repressed customer flow through periods when malls and shopping centers were restricted or closed entirely due to governmental lockdown
mandates and restrictions. Our current retail locations are within popular shopping areas with anticipated regular customer traffic. Such
closures or limitations and restrictions were at times mandated the government, and at other times due to natural customer uncertainties
regarding the status of COVID-19. Such restrictions and uncertainties not only impacted anticipated revenues from current locations, but
added additional risk to us related to the opening of new locations. Thus, the uncertainty regarding the scope and longevity of such restrictions
modified our plans as to how quickly we could enact our expansion plans.
More specifically, COVID-19 has challenged our performance at our kiosk
locations, though our cafe locations have improved in performance. Shopping mall restrictions and mandates during the pandemic made it
difficult for our kiosks to operate at maximum performance, as indoor restrictions of shopping malls affected the way we had to operate
business. For instance, we had to offer only to-go/pickup operations to operate while meeting regulations. We have learned how to move
forward aggressively despite such regulations and mandates, doing what we can to serve the coffee we are so proud to serve, whether this
means offering to-go orders only or working with delivery services.
In May 2020, the Company availed itself of a loan under the Paycheck
Protection Program (PPP) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) in the amount of $115,000, and $500,000 under the
SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan assistance program, all of which is currently outstanding as of December 31, 2021, provided
however that repayment was deferred to commence in May 2022. In February 2021, the Company secured a second PPP loan under this program
in the amount of approximately $167,000. The Company was granted forgiveness for the initial PPP Loan prior to December 31, 2021 and expects
to be granted forgiveness on the remainder subsequently.
21
In January 2022 we announced a price increase of our whole roasted
beans by 15% on our website which we attribute to increases due to inflation in the cost of raw green coffee beans, the cost of shipping
and supplies, and nationwide increases in labor costs-- factors that may or may not be attributable to the pandemic and/or the governmental
policies and mandates that were implemented during and in the wake of COVID-19. As of the date hereof and in January 2022 at the time
of our price increase, inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations since we have been able to offset such increased
costs by increasing the price of our whole roasted beans by 15% in January 2022, through increased sales and growth in opening 2 new company-owned
retail locations, better lease terms on such new company-owned retail locations, more efficient purchasing practices (e.g., volume purchase
discounts), productivity improvements and greater economies of scale. Severe increases in inflation, however, could affect the global
and U.S. economies and could have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We do not expect COVID-19 to affect our future operating results significantly,
as we are confident that coffee is an essential product that people rely on and will always drink. We intend to meet all governmental
business operation regulations and improve sales by whatever means necessary, utilizing resources such as food delivery services and to-go/pickup
orders. However, the impact of COVID-19 continues to evolve, and we cannot easily predict the future potential impacts of the pandemic
on our business or operations or on the United States or global economy in general. This may include any recurrence of the disease, actions
taken in response to the evolving pandemic, any ongoing effects on consumer demand and spending patterns or other impacts of the pandemic.
Whether these or other currently unanticipated consequences of the pandemic are reasonably likely to materially affect our results of
operations, cash flows or financial condition is yet to be determined. For additional details regarding the impact of COVID-19 on our
business, see “Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Business-Pandemics or disease outbreaks such as the COVID-19 have had, and may
continue to have, an effect on our business and results of operations.”

Revenues. Revenues were approximately $1.5 million for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2022, compared to $880,000 for the comparable period in 2021, representing an increase of $661,000, or 75.2%. Revenues
were approximately $788,000 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to $491,000 for the comparable period in
2021, representing an increase of $297,000, or 60.5%. The increase in sales for the periods was primarily driven by the opening of the
Corona Del Mar, Laguna Woods and Santa Anita locations during 2021, and to the continued focus on marketing efforts to grow brand recognition.
Product, food and drink costs. Product, food and drink costs
were approximately $564,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to $270,000 for the comparable period in 2021, representing
an increase of approximately $294,000, or 108.7%, and were approximately $279,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 compared
to $135,000 for the comparable period in the prior year, representing an increase of $144,000 of 105.9%. The increase in costs for the
periods was partially driven by the opening of new locations and the overall increase in sales for the period. As a percentage of revenues,
product, food and drink costs increased to 36.6% in the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to 30.7% in the comparable period
in 2021 and increased to 35.4% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to 27.6% in the comparable period in 2021. The increase
in costs as a percentage of sales was primarily driven by general inflationary pressures and the seasonal fluctuations in cost of ingredients.
We monitor these fluctuations in product costs to analyze whether they are considered to be representative of general economic conditions,
such as inflation, or to be related to commodity specific changes. For example, green bean suppliers raised pricing by 15 to 20% throughout
2021, higher than the overall rate of inflation, however it has been more stable recently and even decreasing slightly in the second quarter
of 2022.
General and administrative expenses. General
and administrative expenses were approximately $2.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.2 million for
the comparable period in the prior year, representing an increase of approximately $1.2 million, or 101.2%, and were approximately $1.4
million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 compared to $656,000 for the comparable period in 2021, representing an increase
of approximately $775,000, or 118.3%. This increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the hiring of additional
administrative employees, increases in professional services and corporate-level costs to support growth plans, the opening of new restaurants,
as well as costs associated with outside administrative, legal and professional fees and other general corporate expenses associated with
preparing to become a public company. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 160.1% in the six-month
period ended June 30, 2022 from 139.4% in the comparable period of 2021, and increased to 181.7% for the three-month period ended June
30, 2022 from 133.6% in the comparable period in 2021, primarily due to the increased administrative expenditures for the reasons mentioned
above.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2022 was $1.2 million, which resulted from net loss of $1.5 million, non-cash charges of $225,000 for
stock compensation and $98,000 for depreciation and net cash outflows of $43,000 from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The
net cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily the result of increases in inventory of $14,000 and
prepaid and other assets of $28,000 and a decrease in accounts payable of $46,000, partially offset by increase of $47,000 in accrued
liabilities. The increase in accrued liabilities was primarily due to the timing of cash payments for sales tax and payroll.
Net cash used in operating activities during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was $538,000, which resulted from net loss of $635,000, non-cash charges of $82,000 for depreciation,
and net cash outflows of $6,000 from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net cash outflows from changes in operating assets
and liabilities were primarily the result of increases in inventories of $7,000 and prepaids and other assets of $65,000, partially offset
by increases of $50,000 in accounts payable and $17,000 in accrued liabilities.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $168,000 and $317,000, respectively, These expenditures in each period are primarily related to purchases
of property and equipment in connection with current and future location openings and maintaining our existing locations.
Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six-month period
ended June 30, 2022 was $613,000, primarily due to $595,000 of borrowings under a line of credit, and $150,000 of loans from shareholders.
This was partially offset by $131,000 of repayments of borrowings.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six-month period
ended June 30, 2021 was $867,000, primarily due to approximately $533,000 cash received through borrowings and $553,000 of proceeds from
issuance of common stock, offset by approximately $220,000 of repayments of borrowings.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had total assets of $4,593,013.
Our cash balance as of June 30, 2022 was approximately $150,000. From inception (of Reborn Global in November 2014) to June 30, 2022,
we have not had any positive operating cash flow.
Credit Facilities
Loan with Fora Financial
In October 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Fora
Financial in the principal amount of $138,600 and remaining principal amount of $48,510. The loan payable has a maturity date on October
11, 2019. The loan was due on demand. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was a balance outstanding of $0.
Loans with Square Capital
Between April and August 2021, the Company entered into loan agreements
with Square Capital in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $268,000 with loan costs of $34,840. The loans have maturity dates
ranging from September 2022 to February 2023. As of June 20, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was a balance outstanding of approximately
$0 and $122,000, respectively.
25
Economic Injury Disaster Loan
On May 16, 2020, the Company executed the standard loan documents required
for securing a loan (the “EIDL Loan”) from the SBA under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) assistance
program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. As of June 30, 2022, the loan payable, Emergency
Injury Disaster Loan noted above is not in default.
Pursuant to that certain Loan Authorization and Agreement (the “SBA
Loan Agreement”), the Company borrowed an aggregate principal amount of the EIDL Loan of $500,000, with proceeds to be used for
working capital purposes. Interest accrues at the rate of 3.75% per annum and will accrue only on funds actually advanced from the date
of each advance. Installment payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly beginning May 16, 2021 (twelve months from the
date of the SBA Loan) in the amount of $731. The balance of principal and interest is payable thirty years from the date of the SBA Loan.
In connection therewith, the Company also received a $10,000 grant, which does not have to be repaid. During the year ended December 31,
2020, $10,000 was recorded in Economy injury disaster loan (EIDL) grant income in the Statements of Operations. The schedule of payments
on this loan was later deferred to commence 24 months from the date of loan, and therefore, the full amount of the loan is outstanding
as of June 30, 2022 and payments shall commence starting in May 2022.
In connection therewith, the Company executed (i) a loan for the benefit
of the SBA (the “SBA Loan”), which contains customary events of default and (ii) a Security Agreement, granting the SBA a
security interest in all tangible and intangible personal property of the Company, which also contains customary events of default (the
“SBA Security Agreement”).
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
In May 2020, the Company secured a loan under the Paycheck Protection
Program administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) in the amount of $115,000. In February 2021, the
Company secured a second loan under this program in the amount of approximately $167,000. The interest rate of the loan is 1.00% per
annum and accrues on the unpaid principal balance computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. Commencing
seven months after the effective date of each PPP Loan, the Company is required to pay the Lender equal monthly payments of principal
and interest as required to fully amortize any unforgiven principal balance of the loan by the two-year anniversary of the effective
date of the loan. The PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, making materially
false or misleading representations to the SBA or the Lender, or breaching the terms of the PPP Loan. The occurrence of an event of default
may result in the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the PPP Loan, collection of all amounts owing from the Company, or filing
suit and obtaining judgment against the Company. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness
for all or a portion of the loan granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use
of loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and any payments of mortgage interest, rent, and utilities. Recent modifications to the
PPP by the U.S. Treasury and Congress have extended the time period for loan forgiveness beyond the original eight-week period, making
it possible for the Company to apply for forgiveness of its PPP loan. The Company was granted forgiveness for the initial PPP Loan prior
to December 31, 2021 and expects to be granted forgiveness on the remainder subsequently.
Line of Credit Facility
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into a line
of credit agreement with a financial institution that provides a maximum borrowing limit of $2,000,000 with interest at 5% per annum.
This line of credit facility matures on December 31, 2022. Total balance as of June 30, 2022 was $594,529.
Leases
Operating Leases
We currently lease all company-owned retail locations. Operating leases
typically contain escalating rentals over the lease term, as well as optional renewal periods. Rent expense for operating leases is recorded
on a straight-line basis over the lease term and begins when Reborn has the right to use the property. The difference between rent expense
and cash payment is recorded as deferred rent on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Pre-opening rent is included in selling,
general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Tenant incentives used to fund leasehold improvements
are recorded in deferred rent and amortized as reductions to rent expense over the term of the lease.
26
Income Taxes
Reborn files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and California
state jurisdictions.
Upon the closing of this offering, we will be taxed at the prevailing
U.S. corporate tax rates. We will be treated as a U.S. corporation and a regarded entity for U.S. federal, state and local income taxes.
Accordingly, a provision will be recorded for the anticipated tax consequences of our reported results of operations for U.S. federal,
state and foreign income taxes.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the
JOBS Act, and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements for up to five years or until
we are no longer an emerging growth company, whichever is earlier. The JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company”
can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended
transition period under the JOBS Act. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public
companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we are required
to disclose pursuant to these regulations. In the ordinary course of business, we enter into operating lease commitments, purchase commitments
and other contractual obligations. These transactions are recognized in our financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements requires management to utilize
estimates and make judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management
believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates are evaluated by management on an ongoing basis, and the results of these
evaluations form a basis for making decisions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Although actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, management believes that the
estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements are reasonable. The critical accounting policies affecting our financial
reporting are summarized in Note 2 to the financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have determined that all other issued, but not yet effective accounting
pronouncements are inapplicable or insignificant to us and once adopted are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17 C.F.R. 229 (10)(f)(i)
and are not required to provide information under this item.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)),
as of June 30, 2022. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June
30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
any required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the period ended June 30, 2022, our management
has evaluated the internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act. Based on
such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting
were ineffective as of June 30, 2022. Management of the Company believes that the ineffectiveness of internal controls was due to the
lack of accounting and financial team.

PART
II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In the future, the Company may be subject to various legal
proceedings from time to time as part of its business. We are currently not involved in litigation that we believe will have a materially
adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. As of June 30, 2022, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry
or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self- regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge
of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any
of our subsidiaries or of our company’s or our company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as
such, in which an adverse decision is expected to have a material adverse effect.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
and Use of Proceeds.
We have not made any
sales of unregistered equity securities during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022.
In August 2022, the Company
consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 1,440,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of
$5.00 per share, generating gross proceeds of $7,200,000 pursuant to our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended) (File No. 333-261937),
which was declared effective by the SEC on August 11, 2022. . EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC, acted as the representative
of the underwriters of the IPO. After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by us, we received
approximately $6.2 million in net proceeds from our initial public offering.
There has been no material
change in the planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering as described in our final prospectus, dated August 11, 2022, which
was filed with the SEC on August 16, 2021 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. The primary use of the net proceeds from our
initial public offering continues to be, as follows: (i) approximately $8.0 million for the acquisition of property and the development
of a manufacturing plant to build, design and manufacture our new line of electric boats; (ii) approximately $2.0 million for ramp up
of production and inventory; (iii) approximately $2.6 million for working capital.
No payments were made
by us to directors, officers or persons owning ten percent or more of our common stock or to their associates, or to our affiliates, other
than payments in the ordinary course of business to officers for salaries. Pending the uses described, we have invested the net proceeds
in our operating cash account.
