    If we fail to comply with the continued minimum closing bid requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market LLC ("NASDAQ") or other requirements for continued listing, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.

    On April 18, 2019, the Company received notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") that for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company's common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global Market under NASDAQ's listing rule 5550 (a)(2), requiring minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Requirement"). The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market.  In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810 (c)(3)(A), if during the 180 calendar days following the date of the notification, or prior to October 15, 2019, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the NASDAQ Staff ("the Staff") will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance. If the Company does not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by October 15, 2019, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days compliance period if it elects to transfer to the NASDAQ Capital Market, so as to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market.  To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the NASDAQ Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.  However, if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the Staff would notify the Company that its securities would be subject to delisting.  In the event of such notifications, the Company may appeal the Staff's determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance the Staff would grant the Company's request for continued listing. A delisting of our common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock.  In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, employees and fewer business development opportunities.

    If we fail to comply with the continued minimum closing bid requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market LLC ("NASDAQ") or other requirements for continued listing, our common stock may be delisted and the price of our common stock and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.

    On April 18, 2019, the Company received notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") that for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company's common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global Market under NASDAQ's listing rule 5550 (a)(2), requiring minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Requirement"). The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market.  In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810 (c)(3)(A), if during the 180 calendar days following the date of the notification, or prior to October 15, 2019, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the NASDAQ Staff ("the Staff") will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance. If the Company does not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by October 15, 2019, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days compliance period if it elects to transfer to the NASDAQ Capital Market, so as to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market.  To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the NASDAQ Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.  However, if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the Staff would notify the Company that its securities would be subject to delisting.  In the event of such notifications, the Company may appeal the Staff's determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance the Staff would grant the Company's request for continued listing.

    One holder of our common stock exerts significant influence over our Company and may make decisions with which other stockholders may disagree that could reduce the value of our stock.

    Everest Hill Group owns 12,292,838 shares, or 52.7%, of our total 23,315,915 outstanding shares as of June 30, 2018.  As a result, Everest Hill Group has the ability to exert control over our business and may make decisions with which other stockholders may disagree, including, among other things, the appointment of officers and directors, changes in our business plan, delaying, discouraging or preventing a change of control of our Company or a potential merger, consolidation, tender offer, takeover or other business combination.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly, and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

    The market price of our Common Stock has been highly volatile. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, the closing price of our common stock fluctuated significantly from a high of $3.10 to a low of $1.80 per share. The market price of our common stock may continue to be volatile in the future.  Volatility in the market price of our common stock may prevent investors from being able to sell their common stock at or above the price investors paid for such common stock.  The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for various reasons, including: - our operating and financial performance and prospects;- our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry;- the public's reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;- changes in, or failure to meet, earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track our common stock or the stock of other companies in our industry;- the failure of research analysts to cover our common stock;- strategic actions by us, our customers or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;- new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;- changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations, or principles;- the impact on our profitability temporarily caused by the time lag between when we experience cost increases and when these increases flow through cost of sales because of our method of accounting for inventory, or the impact from our inability to pass on such price increases to our customers;- material litigations or government investigations;- changes in general conditions in the U.S. and global economies or financial markets, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, or responses to such events;- changes in key personnel;- sales of common stock by us, Everest Hill Group, or members of our management team;- the implementation of our employee stock purchase plan or the granting or exercise of employee stock options;- volume of trading in our common stock; and - the realization of any risks described under this "Risk Factors" section. These and other factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock.  In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the stock.  If any of our stockholders were to bring a class action lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit.  Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management from our business. In addition, volatility or lack of performance in the trading price of our common stock may also affect our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.  If we are unable to retain our employees, our business, financial condition, and results of operations would be harmed.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Investors may experience dilution of their ownership interests due to the future issuance of additional shares of our common stock which could be materially adverse to the value of our common stock.

    As of the end of the period covered by this Report, we have 23,315,915 shares of our common stock outstanding.  We are authorized to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  We, or our shareholders, including Everest Hill Group, may sell additional shares of common stock in subsequent offerings or we may issue shares of our common stock as consideration in the future acquisitions.  Our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of additional common or preferred shares under applicable state law without shareholder approval.  We may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with the hiring of personnel, future acquisitions, future private placements of our securities for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes.  If we need to raise additional capital to expand or continue operations, it may be necessary for us to issue additional equity or convertible debt securities.  If we issue equity or convertible debt securities, the net tangible book value per share may decrease, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders may be diluted and such equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior or more advantageous than those of our common stockholders.  We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock.  Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    We may issue additional common shares or other securities to finance our growth.

    We may finance the development of our products and services or generate additional working capital through additional equity financing.  Therefore, subject to the rules of NASDAQ, we may issue additional shares of our common stock and other equity securities of equal or senior rank, with or without stockholder approval, in a number of circumstances from time to time.  The issuance by us of shares of our common stock or other equity securities of equal or senior rank will have the following effects: - the proportionate ownership interest in us held by our existing stockholders will decrease;- the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding share of common stock may be diminished; and - the market price of our common stock may decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    If our shares become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

    The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks.  Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system.  If we do not retain a listing on NASDAQ and if the price of our shares of common stock is less than $5.00, our common stock will be deemed a penny stock.  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information.  In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive: (i) the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    There can be no assurance that we will ever provide liquidity to our investors through a sale of our Company.

    While acquisitions of companies like ours are not uncommon, potential investors are cautioned that no assurances can be given that any form of merger, combination, or sale of our Company will take place, or that any merger, combination, or sale, even if consummated, would provide liquidity or a profit for our investors.  Investors should not purchase common stock in our Company with the expectation that we will be able to sell the business in order to provide liquidity or a profit for our investors.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    Reports published by analysts, including projections in those reports that exceed our actual results, could adversely affect our common stock price and trading volume.

    We currently expect that securities research analysts will publish their own periodic projections for our business.  These projections may vary widely and may not accurately predict the results we actually achieve.  Our stock price 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.  While we expect continued research analyst coverage, if no analysts continue coverage of us, the trading price for our stock and the trading volume could be adversely affected.

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.
