    The Company faces risks related to being delinquent in its SEC reporting obligations.

    Due to the circumstances discussed in the Explanatory Note in this Annual Report, the Company's recent SEC filings, including this Annual Report, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 (the "Delinquent Reports") were delinquent. NYSE Regulation ("NYSE") informed the Company that, under the rules of the NYSE American, LLC ("NYSE American"), it is subject to the procedures set forth in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide, and that the Company has an initial six-month period from the Form 10-K filing due date of December 31, 2024 to regain compliance with the NYSE American listing standards, allowing the Company to file the Delinquent Reports by June 30, 2025. On June 10, 2025, the Company submitted an extension request to NYSE Regulation, requesting additional time to regain compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards. While the Company is filing this 2024 Annual Report within the initial six-month period granted by the initial delinquency notification, the Company requested an extension to allow it additional time to coordinate the completion of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025. On June 24, 2025, the NYSE informed the Company that it accepted the extension request, allowing the Company to submit the Delinquent Reports by August 19, 2025. The Company faces the following risks and challenges related to being delinquent in its SEC reporting obligations, including: -   The Company may fail to file all Delinquent Reports by August 19, 2025, and there can be no assurance that the NYSE will grant an additional discretionary extension for the Company to regain compliance;-   The NYSE may commence delisting proceedings at any time if it deems that the circumstances warrant;-   The Company may fail to remediate material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting and other material weaknesses may be identified in the future, which could adversely affect the accuracy and timing of the Company's financial reporting; and -   Failure to timely file its SEC reports and make the Company's current financial information available has placed, and may continue to place, downward pressure on the Company's stock price. If the Company is unable to file all Delinquent Reports by August 19, 2025 and the NYSE does not grant an additional discretionary extension for the Company to regain compliance, or if the NYSE otherwise determines circumstances so warrant, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting. If the NYSE American delists the Company's Common Stock from trading on its exchange, the Company could face a limited availability of market quotations for its Common Stock and reduced liquidity for its Common Stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    The Company's management has effective voting control.

    The Company's officers beneficially own 100% of the outstanding shares of the Company's Class B stock. The holders of the Class B stock are entitled to elect 75% (calculated to the nearest whole number, rounding five-tenths to next highest whole number) of the members of the Company's Board of Directors. Further, approval of a majority of the holders of the Class B stock is generally required to affect a sale of the Company and certain other corporate transactions. As a result, the Class B shareholders can elect more than a majority of the Board of Directors and exercise significant influence over most matters requiring approval by the Company's shareholders. This concentration of control may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The issuance of preferred stock may impede a change of control or may be dilutive to existing shareholders.

    The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes the Company's Board of Directors, without shareholder vote, to issue up to 300,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to determine for any series the dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other preferences, rights and terms that are senior, and not available, to the holders of the Company's common stock. Thus, issuances of series of preferred stock could adversely affect the relative voting power, distributions and other rights of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could deter or impede a merger, tender offer or other transaction that some, or a majority of the Company's common shareholders might believe to be in their best interest or in which the Company's common shareholders might receive a premium for their shares over the then current market price of such shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    The Company's common stock has been, and likely will continue to be, subject to substantial price and volume fluctuations due to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond the Company's control.

    The market price of the Company's common stock may be significantly affected by various factors, such as: -   Quarterly variations in operating results;-   Changes in revenue growth rates as a whole or for specific geographic areas or products;-   Changes in earnings estimates by market analysts;-   The announcement of new products or product enhancements by the Company or its competitors;-   Speculation in the press or analyst community of potential acquisitions by the Company; and -   General market conditions or market conditions specific to particular industries.

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.
