  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The sale and issuance of our common stock to Yorkville will cause dilution to our existing stockholders, and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by Yorkville, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.

    The purchase price for the shares of common stock that we may sell to Yorkville under the SEPA will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock. Depending on a number of factors, including market liquidity, sales of such shares of common stock may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall. If and when we do sell shares of common stock to Yorkville, it may resell all, some, or none of those shares of common stock at its discretion, subject to the terms of the SEPA. Therefore, sales of common stock to Yorkville by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to Yorkville, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a desirable time and price.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    You may be diluted by future issuances of preferred stock or additional common stock in connection with the SEPA, our incentive plans, acquisitions or otherwise; future sales of such shares in the public market, or the expectations that such sales may occur, could lower our stock price.

    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue shares of common stock and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to our common stock for the consideration and on the terms and conditions established by our board of directors in its sole discretion. We could issue a significant number of shares of common stock in the future in connection with investments or acquisitions. Any of these issuances could dilute our existing stockholders, and such dilution could be significant. Moreover, such dilution could have a material adverse effect on the market price for the shares of our common stock. In addition, we may initially issue up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Company's 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (as defined below), plus additional shares of common stock equal to 5% of our issued and outstanding common stock on an annual basis, pursuant to an "evergreen" provision set forth in the 2025 Plan. See the section entitled "Item 11. Executive Compensation - Equity Incentive Plans." In connection with the SEPA, on May 20, 2025, the Company and Yorkville entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to register all of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and all of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA pursuant to an Advance. The Company has previously registered under a (i) Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-284716), 937,500 shares of common stock issuable to Yorkville, which represents (a) 37,500 shares issued to Yorkville as commitment shares, at a stated value of $8.00 per share, and (b) 900,000 shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes; and (ii) Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-291747), 6,666,667 shares that we may elect, in our sole discretion, to issue and sell to Yorkville, from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the SEPA. However, the number of shares issuable in connection with the SEPA is not knowable at this time, and will depend, in part, on the trading price of our common stock. If we are required to issue additional shares under the SEPA, we may need to file one or more registration statements with the SEC to register such shares. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Financial Analysis – Standby Equity Purchase Agreement" for more information. As of March 31, 2026, 122,420 shares of Class A common stock have been issued under the Convertible Notes and up to 616,438, may be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. The conversion price of each Convertible Note is $8.00 per share of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Convertible Notes. Each Convertible Note provides that the conversion price of each Convertible Note shall be adjusted if the Company issues shares of Class A common stock at a price less than $8.00. In February 2026, we issued shares of Class A common stock to a third-party investor at a price equal to $3.65 per share. As a result, the conversion price of the Convertible Notes was adjusted downward to $3.65 per share. In addition, the future issuance of shares of preferred stock with voting rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of shares of our common stock, either by diluting the voting power of our common stock if the preferred stock votes together with the common stock as a single class, or by giving the holders of any such preferred stock the right to block an action on which they have a separate class vote, even if the action were approved by the holders of our shares of our common stock. The future issuance of shares of preferred stock with dividend or conversion rights, liquidation preferences or other economic terms favorable to the holders of preferred stock could adversely affect the market price for our common stock by making an investment in the common stock less attractive. For example, investors in the common stock may not wish to purchase common stock at a price above the conversion price of a series of convertible preferred stock because the holders of the preferred stock would effectively be entitled to purchase common stock at the lower conversion price, causing economic dilution to the holders of common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares we will sell under the Company's Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with Yorkville, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales. Further, we may not have access to the full amount available under the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with Yorkville.

    On May 20, 2025, or the Effective Date, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the "SEPA") with YA II PN, LTD. ("Yorkville"), pursuant to which Yorkville has committed to purchase up to $30,000,000 of shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA. The shares of our common stock that may be issued under the SEPA may be sold by us to Yorkville at our discretion from time to time for a period of up to 36 months, unless the SEPA is earlier terminated. We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares of common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA. Sales of our common stock, if any, to Yorkville will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to Yorkville all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA. Because the per share purchase price that Yorkville will pay for the shares we may elect to sell pursuant to the SEPA, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of our common stock prior to each Advance made pursuant to the SEPA, as of the date of this Annual Report, it is not possible for us to predict the number of shares of common stock that we will sell to Yorkville under the SEPA, the purchase price per share that Yorkville will pay for shares purchased from us under the SEPA, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by Yorkville under the SEPA, if any. Although the SEPA provides that we may sell up to an aggregate of $30,000,000 of our common stock to Yorkville, only 6,666,667 shares of our common stock are registered under the Securities Act for resale by Yorkville. If we elect to sell to Yorkville all of the 6,666,667 shares of common stock registered for resale, depending on the market price of our common stock prior to each Advance made pursuant to the SEPA, the actual gross proceeds from the sale of all such shares may be substantially less than the $30,000,000 available to us under the SEPA, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity. Unless there is a significant increase in the market price of our common stock, it will be necessary for us to issue and sell to Yorkville under the SEPA more than the 6,666,667 shares registered for resale in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to $30,000,000 under the SEPA, and we will be required to file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act the resale by the Yorkville of any such additional shares we wish to sell from time to time under the SEPA, which the SEC must declare effective. Under the applicable Nasdaq rules, in no event may the Company issue to Yorkville under the SEPA more than 19.99% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the SEPA (the "Exchange Cap"), unless the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules. Any issuance and sale by us under the SEPA of shares of common stock in addition to the 6,666,667 shares of common stock registered for resale would cause additional dilution to our stockholders. We are not required or permitted to issue any shares of common stock under the SEPA if such issuance would breach our obligations under the rules or regulations of Nasdaq. In addition, Yorkville will not be required to, and may not, purchase any shares of our common stock if such sale would result in its beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    We may not be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on Nasdaq.

    We must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. If we fail to meet any of Nasdaq's continued listing standards or we violate Nasdaq listing requirements, our common stock may be delisted. In addition, our board of directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may materially impair our stockholders' ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. The delisting of our common stock may result in a determination that the common stock is a "penny stock" which will require brokers trading in the common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities. The delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment. In addition, if our common stock is no longer traded on Nasdaq, or another U.S. national securities exchange, Cádiz CF would be entitled to terminate the MG License Agreement and the HPT License Agreement. For more information, see the risk factors titled "We have entered into an exclusive license agreement with Cádiz CF, whereby Cádiz CF has licensed all rights to the Nomadar HPT to Nomadar, but there is no guarantee that Cádiz CF will not terminate this agreement in the future" and "We have entered into an exclusive license agreement with Cádiz CF, whereby Cádiz CF has licensed all rights to the Mágico González brand, outside of Spain, to Nomadar, but there is no guarantee that Cádiz CF will not terminate this agreement in the future."

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Reports published by analysts, including projections in those reports that differ from our actual results, could adversely affect the price and trading volume of our common stock.

    Securities research analysts may establish and publish their own periodic projections for our Company. These projections may vary widely and may not accurately predict the results we actually achieve. The price of our common stock may decline if our actual results do not match the projections of these securities research analysts. Similarly, if one or more of the analysts who write reports on us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, our stock price or trading volume could decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for an exclusive forum in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for certain disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.

    Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (i) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (c) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause or causes of action arising under the Securities Act, including all causes of action asserted against any defendant to such complaint. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of our common stock will be deemed to have had notice of and consented to the forum selection clause in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation described in this paragraph. The foregoing provision would not preclude stockholders that assert claims under the Exchange Act, from bringing such claims in federal court, to the extent that the Exchange Act confers exclusive federal jurisdiction over such claims, subject to applicable law. We believe our choice of forum provision may benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law by chancellors and judges particularly experienced in resolving corporate disputes, efficient administration of cases on a more expedited schedule relative to other forums and protection against the burdens of multi-forum litigation. However, our choice of forum provision may impose additional litigation costs on stockholders in pursuing claims and may limit a stockholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it believes to be favorable for disputes with us or any of our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. In addition, while the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the choice of forum provision, and there can be no assurance that such provision will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions. If a court were to find the choice of forum provision in our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in each case, may delay or prevent a take-over that may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

    Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in each case, may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include, among others, (i) the existence of our Class B common stock, which is entitled to 20 votes per share, as more particularly described elsewhere in this Annual Report, (ii) who can fill vacancies of our board of directors, (iii) supermajority voting thresholds for the removal of members of our board, and (iv) when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of shares of preferred stock which will have such rights and preferences determined from time to time by our board of directors. Our board of directors may, without stockholder approval (except as may be required under Nasdaq rules), issue additional preferred shares with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. Further, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of "blank check" preferred stock that our board of directors could use to implement a stockholder rights plan (also known as a "poison pill").

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    Our management and principal stockholders own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval.

    As of December 31, 2025, our executive officers and directors, together with our five percent or greater stockholders and their respective affiliates, beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 92.74% of the voting power of the Company. If they act together, they will be able to control the management and affairs of our company and most matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents and approval of any merger, sale of substantially all our assets or other significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our common stock that you or other stockholders may feel are in your or their best interest as one of our stockholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9
    We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.

    We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions and relief from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including (i) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) having the option of delaying the adoption of certain new or revised financial accounting standards, (iii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and (iv) exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock. Further, pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, we have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As a result, our operating results and financial statements may not be comparable to the operating results and financial statements of other companies who have adopted the new or revised accounting standards. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) December 31, 2030, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (iii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates was $700.0 million or more as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. We are also a "smaller reporting company" as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies until the fiscal year following the determination that our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is $250 million or more measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenues are less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our voting and non-voting common stock held by non-affiliates is $700 million or more measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. It is possible that some investors will find our common stock less attractive as a result of the foregoing, which may result in a less active trading market for our common stock and higher volatility in our stock price.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10
    U.S. investors may have difficulty enforcing civil liabilities against our company, our directors or members of senior management or executive officers.

    Certain members of our senior management, executive officers, and board of directors are non-residents of the United States, and a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be impracticable to serve process on such persons in the United States or to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts against them based on civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States. Even if you are successful in bringing such an action, there is doubt as to whether Spanish courts would enforce certain civil liabilities under U.S. securities laws in original actions or judgments of U.S. courts based upon these civil liability provisions. In addition, awards of punitive damages in actions brought in the United States or elsewhere may be unenforceable in Spain or elsewhere outside the United States. An award for monetary damages under U.S. securities laws would be considered punitive if it does not seek to compensate the claimant for loss or damage suffered and is intended to punish the defendant. The enforceability of any judgment in Spain will depend on the particular facts of the case as well as the laws and treaties in effect at the time. The United States and Spain do not currently have a treaty or statute providing for recognition and enforcement of the judgments of the other country (other than arbitration awards) in civil and commercial matters. As a result, our U.S. public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against us, our management or our directors than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11
    The holder of our shares of Class B common stock has additional rights and privileges which allow the holders to exert additional control over the Company.

    We have 2,500,000 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. As described elsewhere herein, each share of Class B common stock is entitled to twenty (20) votes per share on all matters put toward a vote of our common stock holders. All shares of Class B common stock are held by Sportech. This represents voting power equal to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, or approximately 78.41% of our voting power. The holders of our Class B common stock continue to hold a majority of the voting power of the Company's common stock, and the holders of our common stock hold a minority voting interest. As such, holders of our common stock will not be afforded the same protection if such shares of Class B common stock were not issued and outstanding.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 12
    We are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules because our insiders beneficially own more than 50% of the voting power of our outstanding voting securities, and based on such status we can rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that could adversely affect holders of the common stock.

    Sportech collectively beneficially owns approximately 90.41% (and together with Cádiz CF approximately 91.59%) of the voting power of our common stock, due to a combination of their ownership of shares of common stock, and 2,500,000 shares of our Class B common stock. As such, we are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the listing rules of Nasdaq. We may rely on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules, including an exemption from the rule that a majority of our board of directors must be independent directors. Although we currently do not intend to rely on the "controlled company" exemption under the Nasdaq listing rules, we could elect to rely on this exemption in the future. In the event that we elected to rely on the "controlled company" exemption, a majority of the members of our board of directors might not be independent directors, and our nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors. Our status as a controlled company could cause our shares of common stock to be less attractive to certain investors or otherwise harm our trading price. For example, our majority stockholder, Sportech, may be able to control the outcome of certain proposals requiring stockholder approval that are brought to a vote for stockholders, including, but not limited to, (i) election of directors; (ii) amendments to the Company's organizational documents; (iii) adoption of stock option plans and employee benefits plans involving directors and officers; (iv) mergers, acquisitions, or other reorganizations, recapitalizations, or changes in stockholders' rights or certain other strategic or material transactions that require stockholder approval; (v) sales, leases, exchanges, or other dispositions of all or substantially all of the Company's assets; and (vi) dissolution of the Company. As a result, you would not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements.

    The expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the trading of outstanding common stock could cause the market price of the common stock to decline and would result in the dilution of your holdings.

    The expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the trading of outstanding common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Sportech and Cadiz C.F. have entered into lock-up agreements. These lock-up agreements provide that, subject to certain exceptions, no restricted stockholder may sell, transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock for a period of 365 days following the date the common stock was listed for trading. A percentage of the shares held by each restricted stockholder will become unrestricted 180, 210, and 270 days following the date our common stock was listed, provided certain trading price and trading volume thresholds are met. In addition to any adverse effects that may arise upon the expiration of these lock-up agreements, the lock-up provisions in these agreements may be waived, at any time and without notice. If the restrictions under the lock-up agreements are waived, the shares of common stock held by restricted stockholders may become available for resale, subject to applicable law, including without notice, which could reduce the market price for our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 14
    Sales of common stock by our stockholders could cause our share price to decline.

    Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq. Prior to listing on Nasdaq, there has been no public market for our common stock and there has not been a sustained history of trading in our common stock in "over-the-counter" markets. While our common stock may be sold on Nasdaq by registered stockholders, or by our other existing stockholders in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, there can be no assurance that any registered stockholders or other existing stockholders will sell any of their shares of common stock and there may be a lack of supply of, or demand for, common stock on Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that our registered stockholders and other existing stockholders will not sell all of their shares of common stock, resulting in an oversupply of our common stock on Nasdaq. In the case of a lack of supply of our common stock, the trading price of our common stock may rise to an unsustainable level. Further, institutional investors may be discouraged from purchasing our common stock if they are unable to purchase a block of our common stock in the open market due to a potential unwillingness of our existing stockholders to sell a sufficient amount of common stock at the price offered by such institutional investors and the greater influence individual investors have in setting the trading price. If institutional investors are unable to purchase our common stock, the market for our common stock may be more volatile without the influence of long-term institutional investors holding significant amounts of our common stock. In the case of a lack of market demand for our common stock, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly and rapidly. Therefore, an active, liquid and orderly trading market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained, which could significantly depress the public price of our common stock and/or result in significant volatility, which could affect your ability to sell your shares of common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 15
    Our agreements with Cádiz CF and Sportech involve actual and apparent conflicts of interest, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to negotiate favorable terms in any current or future agreements with either party.

    We have entered into various agreements with Sportech, our controlling shareholder, and Cádiz CF, the parent organization of our controlling shareholder. For example, each of the Framework Agreement and HPT License Agreement have been entered into between us and Cádiz CF, the parent company of our controlling shareholder. Rafael Contreras, our Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman of our board of directors, is also Executive Vice President and the Vice President of the Cádiz CF board of directors. As a result, Cádiz CF and Mr. Contreras will have actual and apparent conflicts of interest as to matters which arise between the Company, and Cádiz CF, and by extension, any matters which arise between the Company and Sportech. For example, we intend for any services provided under the Framework Agreement to be provided pursuant to terms and at costs no less than fair than those provided for and by independent third parties under the same circumstances, but we will hold extremely limited leverage in any commercial negotiations with Cádiz CF. If we are unable to negotiate favorable payment terms for any services rendered under the Framework Agreement, or any future arrangements between the Company and Sportech or between the Company and Cádiz CF, it will have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

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.

Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure.
