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, (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange
Act”) 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 found
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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.

Going
Concern Matters
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplates the Company’s continuation as a going concern. The Company incurred
a net comprehensive loss of $2,307,156 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, and has an accumulated deficit of $19,064,080 as of
June 30, 2024. In addition, current liabilities exceed current assets by $2,054,312 as of June 30, 2024.
Management
intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt offerings. However, there can be no assurance management will
be successful in its endeavors.
There
are no assurances that the Company will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from
operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings, and/or bank financing necessary to
support its working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings,
and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional
financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If adequate working capital is not available
to the Company, it may be required to curtail or cease its operations.
Due
to uncertainties related to these matters, there exists substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of
asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a
going concern.
Unaudited
Interim Financial Statements

present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The
operating results and cash flows of the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for any other interim period or the full year.

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, 2024
and December 31, 2023 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
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 subsidiary. All intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Minority
Interest
Reborn
owns 60% of Reborn Malaysia located in Kuala Lumpur with one retail coffee store under the brand name of Reborn Coffee. For the six-month
period ended June 30, 2024, Reborn’s interest was not material as the store in Malaysia opened in November 2023 and operated in
limited capacity and revenue.
Reverse
Stock Split
On
January 12, 2024, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Certificate
of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its issued Common Stock in the ratio of 1-for-8 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
The Common Stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis at the market open on Monday, January
22, 2024.
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 six-month ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
We
shall generate revenues from two geographic areas, consisting of North America and Asia. The following enterprise-wide disclosure is
prepared on a basis consistent with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The following table contains certain financial
information by geographic area:

Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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.
Foreign
Currency Translations
Reborn
has controlling interests in subsidiaries in foreign countries, South Korea and Malaysia. Fluctuations in foreign currency impact the
amount of total assets, liabilities, earnings and cash flows that the Company report for foreign subsidiaries upon the translation of
these amounts into U.S. Dollars for, and as of the end of, each reporting period. In particular, the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar
generally will reduce the reported amount of our foreign-denominated cash, cash equivalents, total revenues and total expense that we
translate into U.S. Dollars and report in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for, and as of the end of, each reporting
period. However, a majority of the Company’s consolidated revenue is denominated in U.S. Dollars, and therefore, the Company’s
revenue is not directly subject to foreign currency risk.
In
accordance with FASB ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”, when an operation has transactions denominated in a currency other
than its functional currency, they are measured in the functional currency. Changes in the expected functional currency cash flows caused
by changes in exchange rates are included in net income for the period.
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 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 92% 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 8% of the Company’s total revenue.
|
● |
Royalties
and Other Fees |
Franchise
revenues consist of royalty fees and other franchise fees. Royalty fees are based on a percentage of a franchisee’s weekly gross
sales revenue at 5%. The Company recognizes the fee as the underlying sales occur. The Company recorded revenue from royalties of $0
for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Other fees are earned as incurred and the Company did not have any other fee revenue for
the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Cost
of Sales
Product,
food and drink costs – stores and cost of sales – wholesale and online primarily include the costs of ingredients of food
and beverage sold and related supplies used in customer service. The wholesale and online sales also include costs of packaging
and shipping.
Shipping
and Handling Costs
The
Company incurred freight out costs, which are primarily included in the Company’s cost of sales – wholesale and online.
Freight in costs, when attached to a specific purchase, are included as a component of the cost of the purchased goods and materials
items and allocated to accounts in accordance with the nature of the goods. When the freight in costs are not allocable to an individual
purchase or are more significant, they are recorded to a freight and shipping account within cost of sales.
General
and Administrative Expense
General
and administrative expense includes store-related expense as well as the Company’s corporate headquarters’ expenses.
Advertising
Expense
Advertising
costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses amounted to $76,626 and $49,531 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and
2023, respectively, and are recorded under general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements
of operations.
Pre-opening
Costs
Pre-opening
costs for new stores, consist primarily of store 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, allowance
for doubtful accounts were zero, 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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“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
FASB
ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings (loss)
per share computations.
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, or potentially dilutive, shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.
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 months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
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, 2024 and 2023, no purchases from
any vendors accounted for a significant amount of the Company’s coffee bean 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.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncement
The
Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of
any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial statements.

to commence 24 months from the date of loan, which was May 2022.
The
SBA Agreement contains customary events of default. In connection therewith, the Company executed 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”).

$ | 51,595 | | |
$ | 51,595 | |
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.

Deferred income taxes reflect the temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The components
of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had available net operating
loss carryovers of approximately $3,507,000. 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 2018 and later and
subject to California authorities for tax year ended 2017 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, 2024 and
December 31, 2023, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cumulative net operating
loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes of approximately $4,153,000. In addition, the Company had state tax net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $4,153,000. The carryforwards may be applied against future taxable income and expires at various dates subject to certain
limitations.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and
liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent
our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising
from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental
borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate
based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes
lease incentives. Our variable lease payments primarily consist of maintenance and other operating expenses from our real estate leases.
Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation
for those payments is incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that
we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease
components. The Company has elected to account for these lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

10. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
The Company has authorization to issue and have outstanding
at any one time 40,000,000 shares 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.
Preferred Stock
The Company has authorization to issue and have outstanding
at any one time 1,000,000 shares 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no shares of our preferred stock had

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 shareholders 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, 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 public offering, eliminating
the one-year period following an the public offering 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 and the shareholders do not have such antidilution protection rights
since the Company’s IPO date.
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, 2024 and 2023.
11. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Business
Reborn 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 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, Corona Del Mar, Laguna Woods, Manhattan Beach, Huntington Beach, Riverside,
San Francisco, Irvine, Diamond Bar and Anaheim.
Reborn continues to elevate the high-end coffee experience and we received
first 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
We believe that we are the leading pioneers of the emerging “Fourth
Wave” movement and that our business 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.
Our continuous Research and Development is essential to developing
new parameters in the production of new blends. Our first 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. 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 sparking 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.
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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers. The Company’s net revenue primarily consists of revenues from its retail locations and wholesale
and online store. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue as follows:
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 92% 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 8% of the Company’s
total revenue.
|
● |
Royalties and Other Fees |
Franchise revenues consist of royalty fees and other franchise
fees. Royalty fees are based on a percentage of a franchisee’s weekly gross sales revenue at 5%. The Company recognizes the fee
as the underlying sales occur. The Company did not have any revenue from royalties or other fees for the three months ended June 30, 2024
and 2023.
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, 2024 and December
31, 2023, the Company was not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the long-lived assets are impaired.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes costs associated with generating revenue within
our company-owned retail locations, and franchising operations (of which, as of June 30, 2024, we had none).
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company incurred freight out cost and is included in the Company’s
cost of sale.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense includes store-related expense as
well as the Company’s corporate headquarters’ expenses.
Advertising Expense
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses amounted
to $76,626 and $49,531 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are recorded under general and administrative
expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Pre-opening Costs
Pre-opening costs for new stores, which are not material, consist primarily
of payroll and recruiting expense, training, marketing, rent, travel, and supplies, and are expensed as incurred depreciated over the
shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the lease term, including renewal periods that are reasonably assured.
Results of Operations

Revenues
Revenues were approximately $2.9 million for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2024, compared to $2.6 million for the comparable period in 2023, representing an increase of approximately $250,000, or 9.5%.
Revenues were approximately $1.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.5 million for the comparable period
in 2023, representing an decrease of approximately $146,000, or -9.6%.
Product, food and drink costs
Product, food and drink costs were approximately $630,000 for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2024 compared to $882,000 for the comparable period in 2023, representing an decrease of approximately $252,000
or 28.6%, and were approximately $324,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 compared to $518,000 for the comparable period
in the prior year, representing a decrease of $194,000 or 37.5%. The decrease in costs for the periods was driven by the Company’s
cost reduction initiatives throughout the divisions.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses were approximately $4.3 million
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 compared to $3.9 million for the comparable period in the prior year, representing an increase
of approximately $414,000, or 10.6%, and were approximately $2.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 compared to $2.2
million for the comparable period in 2023, representing an increase of approximately $118,000, or 5.4%.
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 being a public company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have a history of operating losses and negative cash flow in operating
activities. We have incurred recurring net losses, including net losses from operations before income taxes of $2.3 million and $2.3 million
for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We used $2.9 million and $2.3 million of cash for operating activities
for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Our cash needs will depend on numerous factors, including our revenues,
completion of our product development activities, customer and market acceptance of our product, and our ability to reduce and control
costs. We expect to devote substantial capital resources to, among other things, fund operations and continue development plans.
In August 2022, the Company consummated 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. Net proceeds from the IPO
were approximately $6.2 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses of approximately $998,000.
To support our existing and planned business model, the Company needs
to raise additional capital to fund our future operations. The Company has not experienced any difficulty in raising funds through loans,
and has not experienced any liquidity problems in settling payables in the normal course of business and repaying loans when they fall
due. Successful renewal of our loans, however, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. In addition, the increasingly competitive
industry conditions under which we operate may negatively impact our results of operations and cash flows. Additional debt financing is
anticipated to fund the Company’s operations in the near future. However, there are no current agreements or understandings with
regard to the form, time or amount of such financing and there is no assurance that any of this financing can be obtained or that the
Company can continue as a going concern.

Credit Facilities
Economic Injury Disaster
Loan
On May 16, 2020, we executed the EIDL Loan from the SBA under its EIDL
assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. As of June 30, 2024, the loan payable, EIDL Loan noted
above is not in default.
Pursuant to the SBA Loan Agreement, we 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 Agreement) in the amount
of $731. The balance of principal and interest is payable thirty years from the date of the SBA Loan Agreement. In connection therewith, we
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 we has paid all payments owed since May 2022.
In connection therewith, we executed (i) a loan for the benefit of
the SBA, which contains customary events of default and (ii) a Security Agreement, granting the SBA a security interest in all of our
tangible and intangible personal property, which also contains customary events of default (the “SBA Security Agreement”).
Paycheck Protection Program
Loan
In May 2020, we secured a loan under the PPP administered by the SBA
in the amount of $115,000. In February 2021, we 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, we are 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, or filing suit and obtaining judgment against us. 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. We were granted forgiveness for the initial PPP Loan prior
to December 31, 2021 and expects to be granted forgiveness on the remainder subsequently.
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.
Income Taxes
Reborn files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and California
state jurisdictions.
We are taxed at the prevailing corporate tax rates for U.S. federal,
state and local income taxes. Accordingly, a provision is recorded for the anticipated tax consequences of our reported results of operations
for U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes.
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 Estimates and 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by 17 C.F.R. 229 (10)(f)(1)(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, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”)), as of June 30, 2024. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that
as of June 30, 2024, 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.
Management has identified control deficiencies regarding inadequate
accounting resources, the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Our management believes
that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of our accounting staff. The small size of our accounting outsourced staff may
prevent adequate controls in the future due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.
To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we
rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As we
grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal
control framework.
These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account
balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our financial statements may not be prevented or
detected on a timely basis. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that
our financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were fairly stated in accordance
with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our financial statements for the quarter ended
June 30, 2024, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
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, 2024, 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.

1. I have reviewed this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024 of Reborn Coffee, Inc.;
2. Based on my knowledge,
this Report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this Report;
3. Based on my knowledge,
the financial statements, and other financial information included in this Report, fairly present in all material respects the financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this Report;
4. The registrant’s
other certifying officers and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f))
for the registrant and have:
a. Designed
such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure
that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
entities, particularly during the period in which this Report is being prepared;
b. Designed
such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision,
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
c. Evaluated
the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this Report our conclusions about the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Report based on such evaluation;
and
d. Disclosed
in this Report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s
most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and
5. The registrant’s
other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
functions):
a. All
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably
likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
b. Any
fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal
controls over financial reporting.
