Share Price & Shareholder Rights6 | 16.2%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Because the Company's sole executive officer and its directors and assets are located outside the United States, in China and Canada, investors may experience difficulties in attempting to effect service of process and to enforce judgments based upon U.S. federal securities laws against the company and its sole officer and its directors.

    While we are organized under the laws of State of Nevada, our sole executive officer and our directors are non-U.S. residents and our operations and assets are located outside the United States (specifically in Canada). Consequently, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process on our sole officer and our directors in the United States and to enforce in the United States judgments obtained in United States courts against any of them based on the civil liability provisions of the United States securities laws, enforce United States judgments in a Chinese or Canadian court based on the civil liability provisions of the United States securities laws or bring an original action against them in a Chinese or Canadian court to enforce liabilities based upon the United States federal securities laws. Since all our assets will be located outside U.S. it may be difficult or impossible for U.S. investors to collect a judgment against us.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Anti-takeover provisions under Nevada law could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of the Company and may affect the trading price of our common stock.

    We are a Nevada corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes may discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring our Company, even if doing so may be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, these provisions could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Our common stock is and will be subordinate to all of our existing and future indebtedness.

    Shares of our common stock are common equity interests in us and, as such, will rank junior to all of our existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities. Additionally, our right to participate in a distribution of assets upon any of our subsidiaries' liquidation or reorganization is subject to the prior claims of that subsidiary's creditors.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Because we may be subject to the "penny stock" rules, you may have difficulty in selling our common stock.

    Our common stock may be subject to regulations of the SEC relating to the market for penny stocks. Penny stock, as defined by the Penny Stock Reform Act, is any equity security not traded on a national securities exchange that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The penny stock regulations generally require that a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith be delivered to purchasers of penny stocks and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid offer quotations, as well as the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons. The regulations applicable to penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity for your common stock and could limit your ability to sell your securities in the secondary market.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    An active trading market for our common stock may not develop, and you may not be able to resell your shares of our common stock at or above the initial public offering price.

    There is no public market for shares of our common stock. The initial public offering price of our common stock was arbitrarily determined by our Chief Executive Officer. This initial public offering price may not be indicative of the market price of our common stock after this offering. In the absence of an active trading market for our common stock, investors may not be able to sell their common stock at or above the initial public offering price or at the time that they would like to sell.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Even if an active trading market were to develop for our common stock, fluctuations in our financial results may cause our stock price to fall.

    Forecasting our future revenue is difficult. We are devoting most of our financial resources to the further development of our existing Apps and the development of new Apps, and to expand the number of users of our Apps. There can be no assurance we will successfully maintain our current user base or be able to grow our user base. The level of market acceptance of our Apps may change rapidly. We may in the future incur losses and experience negative cash flow, either or both of which may be significant and may cause our quarterly revenue and operating results to fluctuate significantly.

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.
