    If our goodwill or intangible assets become impaired, we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings.

    We test goodwill for impairment at least annually, and we review goodwill and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Factors that could result in an impairment include, among others, declines in our stock price or market capitalization, lower-than-expected operating results, reduced future cash flow estimates, adverse changes in our business or industry, or other changes in market or economic conditions. If we determine that any of our goodwill or intangible assets are impaired, we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings in the period in which the impairment is determined, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $721,771 and a working capital deficit of $8,518,124, and we incurred net losses and negative operating cash flows. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In connection with the conversion of all outstanding Series B Preferred Stock on April 1, 2026, we are required to make monthly cash payments of approximately $155,575 through May 2027, for an aggregate obligation of $1,866,900. We expect to require additional capital to fund operations and meet these obligations. If we are unable to raise capital on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to reduce or curtail operations, delay strategic initiatives, or pursue restructuring alternatives.

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.
