  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The sale of a substantial amount of our common stock in the public market, and the issuance of shares reserved for consultants and the future conversion of convertible instruments, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock.

    As of November 9, 2018, we had 1,612,561,916 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and the closing sale price of our common stock on November 14, 2018 was $0.017. The issuances of convertible notes in December 2016 and the February 2017 Notes, the August 2017 Notes, the November 2017 Notes, the January 2018 Notes and the June 2018 Convertible Notes (collectively, the "Notes") and the subsequent transactions, resulted in a high volume of activity for our securities. We may engage in similar transactions, which transactions may include registration rights. The issuance of such additional securities and the potential for high volume trades of our common stock in connection with these financings may continue to have a downward effect on our market price. In addition, in connection with the Notes, we issued five-year warrants to a financial advisor, of which 6,381 (1,595,250 pre-split) are currently exercisable, and warrants in public offerings, of which 61,087 (16,117,000 pre-split) are currently exercisable. Future issuance of our common stock upon exercise of these warrants may have a further negative impact on our stock price. Further, as of November 14, 2018, as a result of the issuance of the November 2017 Notes and, the January 2018 Notes, 2.8billion shares of our common stock may be issuable upon conversion of such outstanding debt. Further, this number of shares may increase significantly if there are further conversion price reductions resulting from the full ratchet conversion price adjustment provisions of the November 2017 Notes and the January 2018 Notes, which provide that if we issue securities in certain transactions at a price lower than the applicable conversion price of the November 2017 Notes and the January 2018 Notes, then the applicable conversion price of the November 2017 Notes and the January 2018 Notes, will be reduced to equal such lower price, resulting in additional shares issuable upon conversion of the November 2017 Notes and the January 2018 Notes. As of November 14, 2018, the Company owes approximately $262,471 of make-whole interest under the November 2017 Notes and the January 2018 Notes. As such, all of the shares noted above represent shares issuable upon conversion of restricted principal under such convertible debt for which an equivalent amount owed to us under the corresponding investor notes has not yet been paid. Such restricted principal may not, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, be converted into any shares of our common stock. However, if holders of these convertible Notes provide additional payments to us under the corresponding investor notes, an amount equal to such payment will become unrestricted principal under these convertible notes that may be converted to our common stock at the election of the holders of these Notes. The issuance of shares we are obligated to issue and the issuance of shares we may issue in connection with conversion or exercise of our outstanding convertible instruments may result in a higher volume trading of our securities, which may increase dilution of existing investors and further depress the market price of our common stock, which may negatively affect our stockholders' equity and our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us in the future.

  • Competition - Risk 1
    If MoviePass is unable to compete effectively, its business will be affected adversely.

    The market for filmed entertainment ticketing services is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. MoviePass may experience competition that could negatively affect demand for MoviePass' service or ability to be accepted at certain theater chains. Current potential competitors include Atom Tickets, MovieTickets.com, Fandango as well as potential exhibitors offering their own subscription services. Many consumers maintain simultaneous relationships with multiple filmed entertainment ticketing providers and can easily shift spending from one provider to another. If MoviePass is unable to successfully compete with current and new competitors and technologies, it may not be able to achieve adequate market share, increase its revenues, or achieve and maintain profitability. Many of its competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than MoviePass does. Some of its competitors have adopted, and may continue to adopt, aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially more resources to marketing and website and systems development than MoviePass does. In addition, MoviePass' competitors may form or extend strategic alliances with studios, exhibitors and distributors that could affect adversely its ability to compete on favorable terms.

  • Competition - Risk 2
    Our industry is intensely competitive.

    The market for IT consulting and data analytics services is intensely competitive, affected by rapid technological advances and includes a large number of competitors. Our competitors include the consulting divisions of the "Big Four" accounting firms, major offshore outsourcing companies, systems consulting and implementation firms, application software development firms, management consulting firms, divisions of large computer hardware and software companies, and niche providers of IT services. Many of these competitors have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we have. Competition imposes significant pricing pressures on us. If we are unable to compete successfully in our markets, our business and financial results will be materially adversely affected.

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.
