00:00 This is the latest earnings report for a coffee company called Reborn Coffee that IPO'd
00:04 earlier this year. Now this is a tiny company, the market cap is only $15 million and they've
00:10 only got 9 locations, though they do hope to expand to 20 by the end of next year.
00:16 Based on the latest report, Reborn made $2.4 million in revenues over the last 9 months
00:21 from its stores, but after operating expenses they actually made a loss of $2.4 million
00:26 and stock based compensation was a decent chunk of that at $225,000. The company still
00:32 has over $4 million in cash but as confirmed by the company's auditor there are substantial
00:37 doubts about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. And all this explains
00:42 why the stock has dropped 85% since its IPO. Now I haven't tried their coffee but this
00:48 is clearly a tiny company with a lot of risk.
00:51 And Reborn isn't the only dubious company to hit the public market this year. If you
