Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. (BCCI)

Thanks, Playing --

When BCCI announced the NASDAQ listing, Mr. Henthorn said it would take 'six months,' which of course has long since come and gone.

BCCI has spoken about audited financials; indeed, the Q2 financials -- published in August -- implied that the audit was almost done. Indeed, I think the verbiage was the same in the recently published Q3 financials, some 4 months later.

I think they announced they had applied to 26 or so states for franchising -- I'm not sure they ever announced the number of approvals. More important is the number of states in which franchising is actually happening -- and that is likely three or less (FL, TX, AZ at the most).

A number of posts this week have spoken about time to 'load up.' I would simply suggest they contact Mr. Henthorn directly; during Q3, BCCI sold stock directly for .001 per share, per the publishedfinancials. That's right, a 95% discount to current share price. While those shares likely have a 'don't sell too soon' covenant, for those expecting $1 per share, the return opportunities are much more significant than buying on the open market.
