I think you are right. Not enough shares to reverse-split to Nasdaq. Plus, they fail all requirements to be included on the Nasdaq. I think an equity infusion, which would mean significant dilution, is the only way to meet capital requirements and get the share-count high enough to reach a minimum of $1. But I'm sure they'd want to be higher like $3 or $5. And since the cash is pretty close to the long term debt, I feel like enterprise value is a better way to look at it, which a simplistic rounded-off calculation for that is $2.5M. And at 40% ownership, that's about $6.25M valuation at 6 cents. So I think the true cost of each store is $1M each at this time, and that's pre-dilution which would be significant. So, sadly, I think it's expensive yet also interesting. But at least dilution with cash. They haven't been getting a return on their investments yet, so that cash may be squandered. We shall see.
BTBD also has issues, and that's already on the Nasdaq. So, I have no idea what concept they have in mind. I don't know if you can rule out another brand coming in as a reverse-merger, thereby getting 6 new stores it can convert. That gets convoluted and just pure speculation IFF it can't be ruled out. You also need to meet certain revenue requirements from the past year or so to be on the Nasdaq, which they fail that requirement too. To my understanding anyway. Which makes me wonder if they intend to bring another brand with X units into the fold as well somehow. I just don't know. I'm not a shareholder, but curious to see what unfolds.
Of course, whatever BTBD does to shareholders here, they do to themselves. Unless they will be one of the outside investors. Then they'd be diluted less than shareholders here. I just don't know. BTBD isn't growing any of its own brands yet. They've only bought some stores. They also made an investment in Noble Roman's (NROM), another penny stock on the OTC. I do own 130,000 shares of NROM. That chain struggles too. So, the mgmt.'s ability to grow brands hasn't been proved yet. Lots of unknowns. But it is interesting. I'm very curious to see what the final verdict is. BTBD seems to like to grow inorganically from what I can tell, but can't seem to grow profits. Yet... They don't bring investor confidence to the table, sad to say. But I do like the way they shake things up. And in NROM's case, the way they are harassing my mgmt. over there for not performing.
Do you have any idea what's going on today?

YBC - YongBaiChao Sauce Wine Club
YBC appears to stand for YongBaiChao Club
This author suspects it encompasses 4 main subsections:
RETAIL, RETAIL SUPPLIER, WINE CLUBS, and ONLINE DISTRIBUTION
Possibly more than what follows below, but these are the knowns as of 9-20-22:
RETAIL
Four boutique/retail type units were found:
1. The first two links are of the same unit with different lighting

Very interesting. Thanks for the heads up, Fidel. I have no shares in either one yet. But I am in NROM, where BT Brands bought more of that company's shares. And issued a PR if you do a google seearch of BT Brands and Noble Roman's. Looks like they are going to be a thorn in the side of the BOD over there. And I welcome them and hope they wrestle their way onto the board there or somethign else.
What's your thoughts on BT's mgmt? And is your proposal of the shares here being converted to BT's shares in a PR or a filing somewhere? I'm pretty ignorant of what's going on here. Would love any light and thoughts you want to share.

Very interesting company. Micro cap. I was brought to your attention by this surprise filing yesterday on my micro cap company NROM:
https://seekingalpha.com/filing/6925306
BT Brands has now been buying my company and may be seeking the same type of control. I would love for them to replace our BOD which is a bad case of nepotism. They've been at the helm since the early 70s and we are still market cap not much higher than yours.
I like the value of BT Brands and your company, as well as NROM. I think all 3 are looking like good value. Maybe all 3 will merge into BT eventually. Some highlights on the filing above:
_______________________________________________
Some excerpts:
1. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Mr. Copperud has been involved in the restaurant industry for more than 15 years as an executive of BTB. Mr. Copperud began acquiring and selling his shares of Common Stock for investment purposes believing that the Common Stock represented an investment opportunity. In July 2022, Mr. Copperud discontinued effecting transactions in the Common Stock for his personal account and, in his capacity as an executive officer of BTB, advised BTB to start acquiring Common Stock for the same reason.
2. The Reporting Persons have previously engaged in a discussions with a member of the Board of the Issuer regarding possible financing alternatives
available to the Issuer, including a discussion by the Reporting Persons (and certain of their affiliates) as to possible approaches to refinance on better terms the
Issuer’s $8.5 million senior secured promissory note that bears interest at the rate estimated to be approximately 18% per annum requiring the Issuer to make
monthly payments of $33,000 beginning in February 2023. Nothing discussed by the Reporting Persons constitutes a current or present plan or proposal of the
Reporting Persons (or any of their affiliates) with respect to the Issuer.
___________________________________________________
May I ask y'all's thoughts on the former mgmt. and now your new BOD? I'd appreciate the good, bad, and ugly. Hold nothing back please.
Your units are priced at $500,000 each. That seems a steal. Both you and BT Brands have a strong current ratio. Good cash on the books relative to size. Sleepers for now, but BT Brands seems like they've been aggressive with growth this year after a private placement. They haven't been public very long. I'm interested...

I hope that was breakeven or minimal loss. Sorry it didn't work out better. I think this really is the first time a runup didn't happen before earnings.
I wouldn't say it's bad, but the negatrons aren't focused on the first half of the year. They are focused on the decline from last quarter. Yes, for the mid-year it's up, but fell sequentially from last quarter. And down from last year's Q2 as well. I guess they have concerns about its sustainability and intense competition.
It's really IOT, of which IVY is a part and a wild card, which I really like. I think it can carry the company if Cylance can just at least retain its market share. I'd love to see growth in Cyber, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary for the long term prospects. A lot of unknown acquisitions lay ahead too if they can get this patent deal behind them.
Just nothing to excite people this quarter, even though it was a beat on lower expectations. Frustrating beyond belief. And they can't get this darn patent deal done. Moving so slow on that part, but I think the future is bright.
And will be a while before they have free cash flow that can instill some confidence I think. But overall, I like it. Frustrated, but I think they are on the right path.
I believe they are on the right path too. Gross margins on IOT are great, and IVY has great potential.
That darn Cyber security business failing to beat last quarter results really frustrates people. Analysts are cautious and all lowering targets; albeit, still on a hold but consensus target fell to $5.75ish. Very frustrating.
Conference call tomorrow, Nelson. Hang in there! I bet you get rewarded tomorrow. It's already not far from a 52-week low, and these are the recent target prices from the recent analysts:
Paul Treiber
RBC Capital
Hold
09/23/22 $6.50 29.50% 100%
Read Read Article
Luke Junk
Robert W. Baird
Hold
08/11/22 $7.00 -- --
Read Read Article
It's a good $2.50 below the lowest target from RBC, and he's always a pessimist. These are expectations that were beat, so you have to be worth more than $5. There is a decent chance the market recognizes it tomorrow after all of this is digested. Maybe people are picking it apart. The real market starts at 9:00 am central time tomorrow. Conference call in the morning. You have 3 days! Nothing guaranteed, but I think you have a decent chance here.
Plus, after hours volume is so low that I'm not sure it counts for whatever sentiment will be seen tomorrow
Looks like a beat on earnings and revenue. This could be your pay day. At least, on a surface scan it looks great!
I can't muster the courage to pull the trigger. It inched up to .28. Not falling. I don't want to lead you astray. I hope this works out for you.
It's going to work out for me on the common if it does! At least my common has no expiration. It's not a matter of IFF, only when, on the common in my eyes.
I could still pull the trigger before end of day. I mean, I just can't believe it's skipping just below $5 on an earning release day. That actually does go against the historical norm here.
I'm just looking at that $5 option now that expires in just 3 days. I'm tempted. It's still .25, same as yesterday if I recall so it's not experiencing any time decay as it should. If this stock plunges before earnings release today, I may take the $5s as a good bet after all. I just never would have predicted this behavior, which is really spilling over from the entire market.
A fizzling in the market's slight relief bounce today is happening now. Could it spill over to BB in favor of these $5s?
I'm rooting for you. Today is the big day after hours I think. They could surprise. I'm actually rooting for myself too since I have a lot of common stock here. Just didn't do the option call. Every time BB goes down, everything goes down with it. It's almost a catch 22. I have to make sure I have dry powder too.
I'm really liking RAVE a lot too, coincidentally also my name. I mentioned it last week. It just keeps going up on every market down day. They posted stellar results and I think it will prove sustainable. A turnaround story of two troubled pizza brands.
I still believe in John Chen here at BB. Despite all the setbacks. And the uncertainty still surrounding this whole patent deal. They are on the verge of greatness. Just taking a lot longer than expected, but it will happen one day. Just one setback after another, but nobody can hold them down forever. That's my bull case.
I hope you bank, Nelson! Really do!
My order expired. I didn't get it filled, so I'm empty handed. My greed on the cost side may have me kicking myself next week.
It is indeed hard to believe as we kiss $5.01 as I type.
I decided on the $4.50 strike. My order was just put in:
09/23/22 2045 Option
Buy Open
50
BB Sep 30 '22 $4.50 Call
Limit Day 0.54
0.56
0.62
0.65
Open
Has not filled. 50 contracts on that strike at .54 is my order. IFF it feels, I'll be making money on anything over $5.04 next week. A $2,500 gamble. IFF it fills....
Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING in my portfolio is red today. Except one: RAVE. My name and one stock performing well today.
I think I'll wait till tomorrow near end of day to decide. IFFF it goes below $5, for sure I will. I'm really suprised at the pessimism in the markets today. I thought most of this negativity was already priced in, and the FED did what was expected on the lower end. I feel better about a weekend cool off and opening Monday with a position. So, I might do the $5 calls if it stays at $5.30ish. But really prefer under $5. That would be a gift I think.
It's all a gamble, but it would be a fun nice gamble I think. Maybe BB will surprise next week too.
There is a $5.50 strike price now for next week. Are my eyes deceiving me, or was that not there yesterday?
At least it wasn't a full point hike. Just the most favored expectation. BB standing firm. I really think the company has a bright future. One week is such a gamble though on this price. But it's a much better gamble than anything at Vegas. I think your odds are decent here.
BB standing firm. I'm still a potential foot in at end of Friday. I hope it drops to $5 only for my own selfish reasons. I really prefer a $5 call. That would give me more confidence. But if it stays here at $5.50, I may buy some contracts at $6. And just roll the dice. We have good historical precedence on our backs.

WINE CLUBS

I hope it works out! I'm going to wait till Friday afternoon. Give it more time to expire. But that's risking a better outcome tomorrow. Maybe if they raise a full rate tomorrow, markets get more pessimistic.
I may miss out. I do have 4,000 shares long here, so I am in. Just don't know if I'm ready to gamble on $6. Would need to see $6.30 for a hundred percent return. I would really love to buy the 5's. I might even pay in the money 5's on Friday so I could make money even at $6, even if just a little. We shall see!
I have to give it though. I'm torn.
118%?? That's crazy. I don't know enough to say, but I wonder if a short squeeze is in the cards.
It bothers me that the "Apes" never considered Cinemark, even when AMC was at $40.
It's starting to look good to me. Long line of cars the other day too.
There was a reverse split here? I'm not seeing a PR. When did this happen and what was the split exactly? What was there stated reasons for doing so?
Will the Reddit crowd ever return to BB?
