13 Followers
Public companies are required to disclose risks that can affect the business and impact the stock. These disclosures are known as “Risk Factors”. Companies disclose these risks in their yearly (Form 10-K), quarterly earnings (Form 10-Q), or “foreign private issuer” reports (Form 20-F). Risk factors show the challenges a company faces. Investors can consider the worst-case scenarios before making an investment. TipRanks’ Risk Analysis categorizes risks based on proprietary classification algorithms and machine learning. Marelius disclosed 9 risk factors in its most recent earnings report. Marelius reported the most risks in the “Finance & Corporate” category.

    Because our former business model anticipated our receiving equity stakes in our clients, most of whom were development stage companies, we may not be able to resell such equity at suitable prices, if at all, which could materially impact our earnings and ability to remain in business.

    Our former business model anticipated that we would receive, as partial compensation for our consulting services, equity stakes in our clients, many of whom were development stage companies. We valued those equity stakes at the time we received them. Investments in development stage companies are risky because many of such companies' securities are illiquid, thinly traded (if at all) and the value of such securities will be subject to adjustments should the value of such securities decline, should such securities be delisted from an exchange or cease being quoted on a stock quotation medium or should such businesses fail, which could cause us to write-down or write-off the value of such securities and result in a negative impact to our earnings and possibly cause us to cease or curtail our operations.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    There is substantial uncertainty that we will continue operations. In that case, investors could lose their investments in our common stock.

    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. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such, we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    We are an "emerging growth company" and we cannot be certain if we will be able to maintain such status or if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

    We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 or "JOBS Act," and we may adopt certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies," including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirement of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may remain an "emerging growth company" for up to five full fiscal years following our initial public offering of our common equity securities. Note: To date, we have not sold or issued any of our common equity securities under an effective Form S-1, Form S-3, Form S-4 or Form S-8 or other form of registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We would cease to be an emerging growth company, and, therefore, ineligible to rely on the above exemptions, if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenue in a fiscal year, if we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period, or if we have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates as of June 30 in the fiscal year before the end of the five full fiscal years. Additionally, we cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of our reduced disclosures, there may be less active trading in our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Our shareholders may be diluted through our efforts to obtain financing, fund our operations and satisfy our obligations through issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

    We will likely have to issue additional shares of our common Stock to fund our operations and to implement our plan of operation. Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock issued in lieu of cash. Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the 359,010,591 authorized, but unissued, shares of our common stock. Future issuances of shares of our common stock will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, may further dilute common stock book value and that dilution may be material.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Finra sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

    The FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of preferred stock.

    Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. We have 45,000,000 shares of Series "B" Preferred Stock outstanding at this time, which shares are owned by our management. We have 3,300,000 shares of Series "C" Preferred Stock outstanding at this time, 2,900.000 of which shares are owned by our management. All shares of our Series "B" and "C" Preferred Stock are contractually locked-up until September 27, 2020; hence, such shares cannot be sold or converted into common stock on any prior date. We have an additional 1,700,000 shares of Series "C" Preferred Stock authorized and designated, but not issued or outstanding. We no longer have any shares of Series "A" Preferred Stock authorized, designated or outstanding.

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.
