Share Price & Shareholder Rights7 | 50.0%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    If we are able to complete financing through the sale of additional shares of our common stock in the future, then shareholders will experience dilution.

    The most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through the sale of shares of our common stock. Any sale of common stock will result in dilution of equity ownership to existing shareholders. This means that if we sell shares of our common stock, more shares will be outstanding and each existing shareholder will own a smaller percentage of the shares then outstanding. To raise additional capital we may have to issue additional shares, which may substantially dilute the interests of existing shareholders. Alternatively, we may have to borrow large sums, and assume debt obligations that require us to make substantial interest and capital payments.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Because there is currently a limited public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell your stock.

    Although our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) the market is limited. If a market does not develop there would be no central place, such as stock exchange or electronic trading system to resell your shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Because our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.

    Our shares are penny stocks are covered by, and subject to, section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell the Company's securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from its customer a written agreement prior to making a sale. The imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices could adversely affect a shareholder's ability to dispose of his stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, there is substantial uncertainty we will continue activities in which case you could lose your investment.

    Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. As such we may have to cease activities and you could lose your investment.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    There may be conflicts of interest between our management and our non-management stockholders.

    Conflicts of interest create the risk that management may have an incentive to act adversely to the interests of other investors. A conflict of interest may arise between our management's personal financial interests and the fiduciary duty to our stockholders. Further, our Management's own financial interests may at some point compromise their fiduciary duty to our stockholders. John S. Wilkes, who is the Company's sole officer and a majority of its directors, continues to be involved in businesses that operate and commercialize technologies that are similar or related to the Company's, although those businesses exploit and seek to exploit different applications and opportunities. In addition, although it is anticipated that Management will spend significant time and effort developing our business, it is possible that they will be exposed to business or employment opportunities that would conflict with the interests of the Company, or cause them to reduce their efforts on the Company's behalf or to entirely cease working with the Company. If we and any other businesses with which our officers are involved wish to take advantage of the same opportunity, then the officer and director that is affiliated with both companies would abstain from voting upon the opportunity.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    We may issue more shares to raise additional capital, and permit the development of the Company's business.

    As a result, the shareholdings of current shareholders may be diluted. Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 275,000,000 shares of common stock. We may issue additional shares from time to time to raise the capital that we anticipate will be required to further develop our business. Any share issuance would be subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and subject to that limitation, unless our Articles of Incorporation are amended with approval of our stockholders. This may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Moreover, the common stock issued from time to time may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm's-length basis by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Our Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of common stock or preferred stock are issued, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur and the rights of the holders of common stock might be materially and adversely affected.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    Our common stock is subject to the "penny stock" rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

    The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted certain rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") that are applicable to "penny stocks". For the purposes relevant to us, a "penny stock" is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or has an exercise or conversion price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: - that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks;         - the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased; and         - that a broker or dealer provide certain detailed market information about the market for the applicable company's securities. In order to approve a person's account for transactions involving penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: (1) obtain financial information, investment experience and investment objectives of the person; and (2) make a reasonable determination that the proposed transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: - sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and         - that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Following a transaction, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and depress the market value of our stock. There are additional risks of investing in penny stocks whether in public offerings or in secondary trading, relating to commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.

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.
