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 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.

These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, risks related to 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 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 business 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 products internationally; our ability to strengthen and foster our relationships with third party service providers; 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 products 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 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; 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 filed for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Going Concern Matters
The accompanying 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 $
To support its existing and planned business model and to fund its future operations, the Company has taken several steps to strengthen its liquidity and capital resources. The Company previously entered into a Securities Subscription Agreement providing for aggregate proceeds of approximately $
Further, on April 29, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell shares of common stock in a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $
Although management believes that these financing arrangements and its plans to improve operating performance will provide additional liquidity, the Company continues to have significant capital requirements and recurring losses. The Company cannot provide assurance that the contemplated financing transactions will be completed on the expected terms or that sufficient additional financing will be available when needed. Accordingly, substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern remains.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include Reborn Coffee, Inc. and its subsidiary. All intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Segment Reporting

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.
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 at the point of sale when payment is tendered. Retail store revenues are reported net of sales, use, or other transaction taxes collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities. Sales taxes payable are recorded as accrued liabilities within other current liabilities.
Wholesale and Online Revenue
Wholesale and online revenues are recognized when products are delivered and title passes to the customer or to wholesale distributors. When customers pick up products at the Company’s warehouse or when products are delivered to wholesale distributors, title transfers and revenue is recognized at that time.
Service Income – Reborn Logistics – Related Party
Service income is primarily derived from Reborn Logistics’ freight forwarding and logistics services. The Company recognizes service revenue when shipment transactions are delivered. Each shipment transaction or service order generally represents a separate contract with a customer. A performance obligation is established once a customer agreement with an agreed-upon transaction price exists. The transaction price is typically fixed and is not contingent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of future events, and payment is generally due within 45 to 60 days from the invoice date. Service income represents related-party revenue from logistics services provided to TJ American, which owns a
7
The Company’s transportation arrangements involve organizing the movement of freight to a customer’s destination. Transportation services, including certain ancillary services such as loading and unloading, freight insurance, and customs clearance, represent a single performance obligation, as these services are not distinct in the context of the contract. This performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognized as control of the services transfers to the customer upon delivery, as the customer’s goods move from origin to destination.
The Company evaluates whether it controls the specified transportation service before that service is transferred to the customer to determine whether it is acting as a principal or an agent. The Company has determined that it acts as the principal in its transportation service arrangements because it is primarily responsible for fulfilling the customer contract and ensuring that the specified transportation service is completed in accordance with the agreed-upon terms. The Company enters into agreements directly with customers, establishes the price charged to customers, and has discretion in selecting and contracting with third-party carriers and negotiating the amounts paid to those carriers. The Company also assumes the risks associated with delivery and collection. These factors indicate that the Company obtains control of the specified transportation service before it is transferred to the customer. Accordingly, service income is presented on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations, with amounts paid to third-party carriers recognized as cost of service income.
| License Revenue |
The Company has entered into license agreements that allow licensees to operate and market Reborn Coffee branded stores and products under the Reborn Coffee trademarks. Under these agreements, the Company provides ongoing services, including training, marketing support, system updates, and other operational assistance. As the Company is required to provide these ongoing services, license revenue is recognized over the term of the license agreement. License agreements typically have initial terms of three years and may be renewed for additional periods. License income represents related-party revenue from certain board members.
Accounts receivable related to license revenue totaled $
Product, Food and Drink Costs – Stores, Wholesales and Online
Product, food and drink costs – stores, 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.
Cost of service income – Subcontractors
Cost of service income – subcontractors mainly represent the cost of independence contractors and third-party carriers in the performance of its freight forward and transportation services.
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 expenses include store-related expenses as well as the Company’s corporate headquarters’ expenses.
Accounts Receivable, Net
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. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $
Inventories
Inventories consisted primarily of coffee beans, drink products, and supplies which are recorded at cost or at net realizable value.
8
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
| Furniture and fixtures | ||
| Store construction | Lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, generally | |
| Leasehold improvement | Lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, generally |
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 accounts for its leases under ASC Topic 842, Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. The Company’s operating leases with a term greater than one year are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities, current and operating lease liabilities, net of current in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the net present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate which represents an estimated rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow equivalent funds on a collateralized basis at the lease commencement date. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.
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 had potentially dilutive securities, including convertible debentures and warrants, outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Because the Company incurred a net loss for the periods presented, the effect of these securities would have been anti-dilutive and, accordingly, they were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share. As a result, basic and diluted net losses per share were the same for the periods presented.
9
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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 input, 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.
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. There were no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. There have been no transfers between levels.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 these financial instruments. The Company had a derivative liability with a fair value of approximately $
10
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist 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.
We estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be -

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.

Business
Reborn Coffee, Inc. (“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.
Reborn was founded in 2015 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, Anaheim and Pasadena. In addition to the locations in the United States, we have one international location in Malaysia.
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 seven 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 our core values of service, trust, and well-being, we deliver 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, we proactively distinguish 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, we create 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 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 2025, the retail market for coffee in the United States is expected to be $74.3 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.

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 stores. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue as follows:
| ● | Retail Store Revenue |
Retail store revenues are recognized at the point of sale when payment is tendered. Retail store revenues are reported net of sales, use, or other transaction taxes collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities. Sales taxes payable are recorded as accrued liabilities within other current liabilities.
| ● | Wholesale and Online Revenue |
Wholesale and online revenues are recognized when products are delivered and title passes to the customer or to wholesale distributors. When customers pick up products at the Company’s warehouse or when products are delivered to wholesale distributors, title transfers and revenue is recognized at that time.
| ● | Service Income – Reborn Logistics |
Service income is primarily derived from Reborn Logistics’ freight forwarding and logistics services. The Company recognizes service revenue when shipment transactions are delivered. Each shipment transaction or service order generally represents a separate contract with a customer. A performance obligation is established once a customer agreement with an agreed-upon transaction price exists. The transaction price is typically fixed and is not contingent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of future events, and payment is generally due within 45 to 60 days from the invoice date.
The Company’s transportation arrangements involve organizing the movement of freight to a customer’s destination. Transportation services, including certain ancillary services such as loading and unloading, freight insurance, and customs clearance, represent a single performance obligation, as these services are not distinct in the context of the contract. This performance obligation is satisfied and revenue is recognized as control of the services transfers to the customer during the transit period, as the customer’s goods move from origin to destination.
The Company evaluates whether it controls the transportation services provided to determine whether it is acting as a principal or an agent. The Company has determined that it acts as the principal in its transportation service arrangements, as it controls pricing, manages all aspects of the shipment process, and assumes the risks associated with delivery and collection. Accordingly, service income is presented on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations.
22
| ● | License Income |
The Company has entered into license agreements that allow licensees to operate and market Reborn Coffee branded stores and products under the Reborn Coffee trademarks. Under these agreements, the Company provides ongoing services, including training, marketing support, system updates, and other operational assistance. As the Company is required to provide these ongoing services, license revenue is recognized over the term of the license agreement. License agreements typically have initial terms of three years and may be renewed for additional periods.
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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company was not aware of any events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the long-lived assets are impaired.

Revenues. Revenues were approximately $11.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to $3.5 million for the comparable period in 2025, representing an increase of approximately $8.0 million, or 226.9%. Revenues were approximately $6.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.8 million for the comparable period in 2025, representing an increase of approximately $4.5 million, or 244.6%. The increase in sales for the period was primarily driven by the service income from Logistics and license income.
Product, food and drink costs. Product, food and drink costs were approximately $1.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to $1.3 million for the comparable period in the prior year, and were approximately $0.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to $0.4 million for the comparable period in the prior year.
Cost of service income – subcontractors. Subcontractor costs were approximately $7.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, and were approximately $4.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026.
Gross margin. Gross margin was approximately $3.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.2 million for the comparable period in 2025, representing an increase of approximately $1.2 million, or 53.7%. Gross margin was approximately $1.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.4 million for the comparable period in 2025, representing a decrease of approximately $0.2 million, or 11.4%. The decrease in gross margin for the period was primarily driven by the operation of Reborn Logistics.
Operating Costs. General and administrative expenses were approximately $4.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to $4.3 million for the comparable period in 2025, representing an increase of approximately $0.5 million which is primarily due to increase in bad debt expenses. Professional fees were $ 0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $1.4 million for the comparable period in 2025. Higher amount of professional fees in 2025 was related to the legal and accounting professional fees for various Form S-1 filings last year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have a history of operating losses and negative cash flow in operating activities. We have incurred recurring net losses from operations before income taxes of approximately $4.0 million and $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We used approximately $1.6 million and $3.2 million cash for operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
We conducted four closings pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and sold Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $4,166,665 for a purchase price of $3,750,000, representing an original issue discount of 10%. We also issued to Arena Investors a total of 1,041,667 Warrants in connection with the closing.
In addition, we entered into an ELOC Purchase Agreement with Arena whereby, we may, subject to various terms and conditions, including, without limitation that we maintain an effective registration statement covering shares issuable pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, at our discretion, direct Arena to purchase up to $50.0 million of shares of our common stock under the ELOC Agreement from time-to-time. The purchase price per share for the shares of common stock that we may elect to sell to Arena under the ELOC Agreement will fluctuate based on the market prices of our common stock for each purchase made pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, if any. Accordingly, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold to Arena, the actual purchase price per share to be paid by Arena for those shares, if any, or the actual gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales. As of the date hereof, we have not drawn down on the ELOC Purchase Agreement.
25
The extent to which we rely on Arena and/or the Arena Investors as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors including, the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working and other capital from other sources. If obtaining sufficient funding from ELOC Agreement were to prove unavailable or prohibitively dilutive, we may need to secure another source of funding in order to satisfy our working and other capital needs. Even if we were to sell to Arena all of the shares of common stock available for sale to Arena under the ELOC Agreement, we may still need additional capital to fully implement our business, operating and development plans. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences may be a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.
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.
To support our existing and planned business model, we need to raise additional capital to fund our future operations. We have not experienced any difficulty in raising funds through loans and have 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 on our results of operations and cash flows. Additional financing is anticipated to fund our operations in near future. However, other than the ELOC Agreement and the Arena Debenture Transaction, 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 these financing can be obtained or that we can continue as a going concern.

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. This primarily reflected a net loss of $4.4 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $0.3 million for stock-based compensation, $0.4 million for debt discount expense, $0.6 million for loss on debt extinguishment, $0.4 million for derivative expense, and $0.2 million for depreciation, as well as approximately $0.6 million of net cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Cash Flows Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily consisting of $1.7 million in related-party loans and $0.1 million in purchases of property and equipment.
Cash Flows Provide by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.2 million, comprising cash provided by net proceeds from loan payable from others of $0.4 million, cash provided by net borrowings from related loan payable of $1.1 million, cash used for repayment of convertible debt of $1.1 million, cash provided by net borrowings from loan to shareholder of $0.3 million, cash provided by borrowings from financial institutions of $0.4 million, and cash used for repayments on loan payable to PPP of $0.4 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. This primarily consisted of $0.4 million of net proceeds from other borrowings, $1.4 million of net borrowings from a related party, $0.3 million of borrowings from a shareholder, and $0.4 million of borrowings from financial institutions, partially offset by $1.1 million of convertible debt repayments.
Credit Facilities
Economic Injury Disaster Loan
On May 16, 2020, we executed an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (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, 2026, the EIDL Loan 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 (12 months from the date of the SBA Loan Agreement) in the amount of $731. The balance of principal and interest is payable 30 years from the date of the SBA Loan. 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 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 have 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”).
27
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 expect to be granted forgiveness on the remainder subsequently.
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.
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.
28
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)(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, 2026. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2026, 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 outsourced accounting 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, 2026, 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, 2026, 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, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
29
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

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, 2026, 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.
