Share Price & Shareholder Rights2 | 7.1%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    We have reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies, which could result in our common stock being less attractive to investors.

    We have a public float of less than $250 million and therefore qualify as a smaller reporting company under the rules of the SEC. As a smaller reporting company, we are able to take advantage of reduced disclosure requirements, such as simplified executive compensation disclosures, exemption from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that our independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and reduced financial statement disclosure requirements in our SEC filings. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a smaller reporting company may make it harder for our investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive due to our reliance on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be volatile.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Our stock price is volatile and could decline; there is currently a limited trading market for our common stock and we cannot predict how liquid the market might become.

    On February 20, 2026, the Company's shares of common stock (the "common stock") were elevated to, and commenced trading exclusively on, the OTCQX Marketplace (the "OTCQX"). The OTCQX is the highest tier of the OTC Marketplace. Immediately prior to February 20, 2026, the Company's common stock had been trading on the newly structured OTCID Marketplace since July 1, 2025. For several decades the Company's common stock had been traded on the OTC Pink Sheet Current Information tier of the OTC Marketplace where transactions were limited to the "Expert Market. On March 17, 2017, the Company's common stock was approved for trading on the OTCQB Marketplace, the middle tier of the OTC Marketplace. Thereafter, on March 22, 2019, the Company's common stock was approved for trading on the OTCQX and commenced trading thereon. The price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. For example, our stock price during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 traded as low as $6.50 and as high as $19.75 per share and during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, our stock price traded as low as $5.20 per share and as high as $16.00 per share. Fluctuations may be exaggerated since the trading volume is and would likely be volatile, limited, and sporadic. These fluctuations may or may not be based upon any business or operating results. We cannot assure you that your investment in our common stock will not decline.

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.
