    In order to remedy the identified deficiencies in its internal controls over financial reporting, Nano Magic may be required to add additional staff.

During the annual evaluation process, if Nano Magic identifies one or more material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting, then Nano Magic may be unable to assert that its internal controls are effective. If Nano Magic is unable to assert that its internal controls over financial reporting are effective, investors then could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of its financial reports, which could harm Nano Magic's stock price.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Concentration of stock ownership with affiliates could make a management change or an acquisition of Nano Magic more difficult.

    Approximately 84% of the common stock on a fully-diluted basis is owned or controlled by Nano Magic's present officers and directors. Certain provisions of Nano Magic's organizational documents could discourage potential acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change in control of us or limit the price that investors may be willing to pay in the future for shares of Nano Magic's common stock. For example, the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws will: - authorize the issuance of preferred stock that can be created and issued by Nano Magic's board of directors without prior stockholder approval, commonly referred to as "blank check" preferred stock, with rights senior to those of its common stock;         - limit the persons who can call special stockholder meetings;         - permit written action by voting stockholders, permitting affiliates acting alone to accomplish most stockholder actions;         - establish advance notice requirements to nominate persons for election to Nano Magic's board of directors or to propose matters that can be acted on by stockholders at stockholder meetings;         - not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors; and         - provide for the filling of vacancies on Nano Magic's Board of Directors by action of a majority of the directors and not by the stockholders. These provisions could also limit the price that investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of Nano Magic common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    The market price of Nano Magic's common stock is subject to potential significant price fluctuation because the common stock is thinly traded, and that could result in substantial losses for investors and subject Nano Magic to securities class action litigation.

    Among the factors that may cause the market price of Nano Magic's common stock to fluctuate are the risks described in this "Risk Factors" section and other factors, including: - The trading volume of Nano Magic's common stock;   - Changes in Nano Magic's capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of debt;   - Actual or expected sales of Nano Magic's common stock by its stockholders;   - Failure of Nano Magic's products to achieve or maintain market acceptance or commercial success;   - Changes in the estimation of the future size and growth rate of Nano Magic's markets;   - Fluctuation in Nano Magic's quarterly operating results;   - Recruitment or departure of key personnel;   - The commencement or outcome of litigation involving Nano Magic, its industry segments, or some combination; and   - Changes in legislation or regulatory policies, practices, or actions. In addition, the stock market in general, the OTCQB and the market for nanotechnology companies in particular, may experience a loss of investor confidence. Such loss of investor confidence may result in extreme price and volume fluctuations in Nano Magic common stock that are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of Nano Magic's business, financial condition or results of operations. These broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of Nano Magic's common stock and expose Nano Magic to securities class action litigation. Such litigation, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and divert management's attention and resources, which could further materially harm Nano Magic's financial condition and results of operations.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The limited number of Nano Magic's free trading shares may limit its ability to raise capital through private placements forcing Nano Magic to offer its stock using more costly qualification or registration procedures.

    To remain eligible for the OTCQB, Nano Magic must have a minimum float of 10% of the outstanding stock. Shares sold in a private placement are restricted, and issuing too many restricted shares will take Nano Magic below the float required to remain on the OTCQB. This may force Nano Magic to use available qualification and registration procedures for any capital raise. This in turn would require additional time and resources before Nano Magic would have additional funds for operations or other purposes.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Nano Magic's common stock is thinly traded, and the number of free trading shares is small, thereby contributing to price volatility.

    There is little trading of Nano Magic common stock. As a result, an investor may not be able to sell Nano Magic common stock at the time that the investor would like to sell. Furthermore, if a stock is thinly traded, then any sale may depress the market price.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Nano Magic's common stock is a "penny stock" under SEC rules, and it may be more difficult to resell securities classified as "penny stock."

    Nano Magic's common stock is a "penny stock" under applicable SEC rules (generally defined as non-exchange traded stock with a per-share price below $5.00). Unless Nano Magic maintains a per-share price above $5.00, these rules impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those who qualify as "established customers" or "accredited investors." The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in Nano Magic's securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of Nano Magic's securities. These requirements may also affect your ability to resell Nano Magic's common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Future sales of Nano Magic's common stock may depress its share price.

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.
