  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    We may be unable to continue as a going concern in which case our securities will have little or no value.

    Our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2016 were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred net losses since inception which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  In the event we are not able to continue operations, an investor will likely suffer a complete loss of their investment in our securities.

  • Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 2
    In the past, we have disclosed material weakness in our internal controls and procedures. If a material weakness reoccurs, this could erode investor confidence, jeopardize our ability to obtain insurance and limit our ability to attract qualified persons to serve at Daybreak.

    As of the end of the reporting period, March 31, 2016, an evaluation was conducted by the Company's management, and our Chief Executive Officer, who is also serving as our interim principal finance and accounting officer, as to the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act.  Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of March 31, 2016. Because we fail to comply with the rules regarding internal controls and procedures, it may make it more difficult for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance.  We may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage and/or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage.  The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors, on committees of our Board of Directors, or as executive officers.

  • Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 3
    Because we had never earned revenues from our operations prior to March 9, 2016, our business may fail.

    On March 9, 2016 the company acquired IP, Inventory, parts and distribution of Broadcast and Digital Media products, and we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses while realizing new revenues from this Asset Purchase. Prior to March 9, 2016 the company expected to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future, and recognized that if unable to generate significant revenues it would not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There was no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that the company would prove to be successful, and could not provide assurance that it could generate any revenues or ever achieve profitability. The company has addressed these risks, while understanding that the business would fail and investors may lose all of their investment in our company. The Asset Purchase Agreement on March 9, 2016 provided assets and revenues for the company moving forward.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights4 | 30.8%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The market price of our Common Stock could be volatile, which may cause the investment value of our stock to decline.

    Our Common Stock is quoted on the over-the-counter ("OTC") market under the symbol SIML. The OTC market is characterized by low trading volume.  Because of this limited liquidity, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares at or above the cost of their purchase prices.  The trading price of our shares has experienced wide fluctuations and these shares may be subject to similar fluctuations in the future. The trading price of our Common Stock may be affected by a number of factors including events described in these risk factors, as well as our operating results, financial condition, and other events or factors. In recent years, broad stock market indices, in general, and smaller capitalization companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations.  In a volatile market, we may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock.  These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our Common Stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Pursuant to SEC rules our Common Stock is classified as a "penny stock" increasing the risk of investment in these shares.

    Our Common Stock is designated as a "penny stock" and thus may be more illiquid than shares traded on an exchange or on NASDAQ.  Penny stocks generally are any non-NASDAQ or non-exchange listed equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, subject to certain exceptions. The "penny stock" reporting and disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that is subject to these rules.  The market liquidity for the shares could be severely and adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell these shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The resale of shares offered in private placements could depress the value of the shares.

    Shares of our Common Stock have been offered and sold in private placements at significant discounts to the trading price of the Common Stock at the time of the offering.  Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock eligible for future sale in the public market, or the availability of shares for sale, including shares issued upon exercise of outstanding warrants, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Common Stock and our ability to raise capital by an offering of equity securities.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Privately placed issuances of our Common Stock, Preferred Stock and warrants have and may continue to dilute ownership interests which could have an adverse effect on our stock prices.

    Our authorized capital stock consists of 7,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.  As of March 31, 2017, there were 1,099,588,289 shares of Common Stock, 2,213,154 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. Historically we have issued, and likely will continue to issue, additional shares of our Common Stock in connection with the compensation of personnel, future acquisitions, private-placements, and possible equity swaps for debt or for other business purposes.  Future issuances of substantial amounts of these equity securities could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock, and would result in further dilution of the ownership interests of our existing shareholders.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
