01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 10-Q filed January 13, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Born, Inc. (BRRN) filed its quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2024, highlighting its status as a "shell company" with no current operations or revenue.
The company has incurred operating losses since inception and relies on interest-free demand loans from its custodian, David Lazar, to fund its minimal expenses. Management's plan of operation involves exploring potential business opportunities, likely through a reverse merger or acquisition of an operating entity, but acknowledges significant risks associated with identifying and executing such a transaction due to limited capital and market competition. The company continues to face substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern, with a working capital deficit of $34,227a and a total stockholders' deficit of $117,481,233 as of June 30, 2024.
Management has identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, including a lack of segregation of duties and an independent board of directors, with plans to address these post-acquisition. Investors should note the significant dilution risk associated with future equity issuances and the high-risk nature of investing in a company seeking to acquire an operating business without existing operations.
