  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Concentration of ownership among our existing executive officers, directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

    As of March 31, 2024, our directors, executive officers and their affiliates as a group beneficially own approximately 52.3% of the outstanding Common Stock. As a result, these stockholders able to exercise a significant level of control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, any amendment of the articles of incorporation, as amended and approval of significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    The conversion or exercise, as applicable, of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock could substantially dilute your investment and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

    As of March 31, 2024, the Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into an aggregate of 3,100,000 shares of common stock. The Series C Preferred Stock are convertible into an aggregate of 3,220,000 shares of common stock. In addition, sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock issued upon the conversion or exercise, as applicable, of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, or even the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The conversion or exercise of such securities could result in dilution in the interests of our other stockholders and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Sales of a substantial amount of common stock in the public market or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of common stock to decline.

    Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur could cause the market price of common stock to decline. In addition, we may file a registration statement to register shares reserved for future issuance under our equity compensation plans. Subject to the satisfaction of applicable vesting requirements and expiration of the lock-up provisions referred to above, the shares issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options would be available for immediate resale in the open market. A decline in the price of common stock could affect our ability to raise working capital and adversely impact our ability to continue operations. A prolonged decline in the price of common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of the common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. A decline in the price of common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity, operations and strategic plans. Such reductions may force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may have a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and services and continue current operations. If our common stock's price declines, we can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may not be able to have the resources to continue our normal operations.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Even if the Board approves a reverse stock split of our common stock at the currently approved ratio, we cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock will remain high enough for such reverse split to have the intended effect of complying with the minimum bid price requirement of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq").

    In connection with this offering and the potential uplist of our common stock to Nasdaq, we intend to effect a reverse stock split of our common stock, subject to approval by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") at the currently approved ratio to allow us to obtain Nasdaq approval of our initial listing application to list our common stock on Nasdaq. Even if the Board approves a reverse stock split of our common stock at the currently approved ratio, there can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock following the reverse stock split will remain at the level required for continuing compliance with that requirement. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company's common stock to decline in the period following a reverse stock split. If the market price of our common stock declines following the effectuation of the reverse stock split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. In any event, other factors unrelated to the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, such as negative financial or operational results, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and thus jeopardize our ability to meet or maintain the Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement or other listing requirements of Nasdaq.

  • Debt & Financing - Risk 5
    We will be required to raise additional capital in order to develop our technology and scale our operations. However, we may be unable to raise additional capital needed to fund and grow our business.

    We will need additional capital to scale our operations. We will not be able to continue product development and our commercial deliveries if we cannot raise additional debt and/or equity financing. We may not be able to increase our capital resources by engaging in additional debt or equity financings. Even if we complete such financings, they may result in dilution to our existing investors and include additional rights or terms that may be unfavorable to our existing investor base. These circumstances could materially and adversely affect our financial results and impair our ability to achieve our business objectives. Additionally, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness or take other actions (including terms that require us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios) that would otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Certain rights of our Preferred Stockholders may limit your rights as a Common Stockholder.

    The Company's authorized capital stock structure is comprised of multiple classes of Common Stock (Class A and Class B) as well as Preferred Stock (Series A, B, C and D). As of March 31, 2024, there were 347,451,880 shares of its Class A Common Stock, 3,100,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock; and 3,220,000 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Effective August 31, 2023, we established the Series D Preferred Stock, which consists of 26,000 shares issued and outstanding. There are no shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock currently issued and outstanding. The rights of the holders of Series A and C Preferred Stock are set out in a Certificate of Designation (for each such series) filed in the State of Nevada. Pursuant to such Certificates of Designation, each share of Series A and Series C Preferred Stock entitles the holder to one vote and is convertible into one share of our Class A Common Stock, at the option of the holder, subject to certain regulatory restrictions. In addition, pursuant to such Certificates of Designation, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 86% of the shares of the Series A and the Series C Preferred Stock outstanding is required for the Board to declare and pay dividends and other distributions upon the shares of the Company's Common Stock, unless, with respect to a cash dividend, the holders of the Company's Preferred Stock (including the Series A and the Series C Preferred Stock) are to receive the same cash dividend as the Common Stock, on an if converted basis. Further, the shares of our Preferred Stock are senior to the shares of our Common Stock with regards to distributions in the event of dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary. The rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock are set out in the Certificate of Designation filed in the state of Nevada. Pursuant to such Certificate of Designation, from the first date of issuance of any Series D Preferred Stock, each Holder of the Series D Preferred Stock (each a "Holder") shall be entitled to receive cumulative dividends be paid by the Company in cash at the rate of twenty-five percent (25%) per annum of the net operating income of the Company for its calendar year. Accrued and unpaid dividends are cumulative and shall continue to accrue whether or not declared and whether or not in any fiscal year there shall be operating income or surplus available for the payment of dividends in such fiscal year. Accrued and unpaid dividends shall be payable in cash commencing June 1, 2024 and continuing each annual anniversary of such date, until such Series D Preferred Stock is called by the Company. So long as the Series D Preferred Stock is outstanding, a majority of Holders (owning fifty percent (50%) or more) of Preferred D Stock will be entitled to designate individuals to the board of directors of the Company as necessary to maintain a ratio of at least 28.5% of the filled Board seats, subject to confirmation by the Board, to fill any vacancy in such Board seats and to remove and replace any individuals designated to fill such Board seats. Without the prior written consent of the holders of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock, the Company shall not (i) authorize or issue additional or other capital stock that is of junior, equal or greater rank to the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, (ii) amend, alter, change or repeal any of the powers, designations, preferences and rights of the Series D Preferred Stock, and (iii) directly or indirectly declare, pay or make any dividends or other distributions upon any of the common stock, if any shares of the Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding. The preferred shareholder rights discussed above may constitute a material limitation on the rights of our Common Stockholders, including the right to receive dividends and other to distributions, if any. The reduced disclosure requirements applicable to us as a "smaller reporting company" may make our common stock less attractive to investors. We are a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. As permitted by scaled disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies under the Exchange Act, the information we disclose may differ or be less comprehensive, when compared to that of larger filers. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of less comprehensive information we may disclose pursuant to the exemptions available to us as a smaller reporting company, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile than that of an otherwise comparable company that does not avail itself of the same or similar exemptions.

    Our Common Stock has historically had a limited market and high stock price volatility. If an active trading market for our Common Stock develops, trading prices for our stock may be more volatile.

    The principal U.S. market for our Common Stock is the OTC Pink Market, an over-the-counter trading platforms market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. Our common stock has historically had limited daily trading activity. In addition, the price of our stock has historically been volatile. For example, as of March 31, 2024, the 52-week trading price for our Common Stock has ranged from $0.0010 to $0.0210 per share. Many factors, some of which are beyond our control, may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline over the short-term or over a long-term, regardless of our operating results. These factors include, among others, fluctuations in our operating results; trends or adverse publicity related to our business, products, competitors or industry; the unwillingness of some stockbrokers to place trading orders in our stock and the resulting limitations in the number of stockbrokers willing to trade our stock; the concentration of a large number of shares of our Common Stock in one or a few stockholders, the sale of our Common Stock by one or more significant stockholders, changes in the economic conditions in the geographies where we operate, and a decline in the stock market in general. If an active market for our Common Stock develops, trading prices for our stock may be more volatile and expose our stockholders to a higher risk of loss of principal over the short-term or over a long-term.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Future sales and issuances of our Common Stock or rights to purchase our Common Stock, including issuances pursuant to stock warrants currently outstanding, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership by our existing stockholders and could cause our trading price to decline.

    We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to fund our planned growth, including our ongoing efforts to expand our footprint outside the U.S. To raise capital, we may sell substantial amounts of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock. Future issuances of equity or equity-linked securities, together with future conversions of our preferred stock and exercises of stock warrants currently outstanding or granted in the future, and shares issued in connection with future acquisitions, if any, may result in material dilution to the equity interests of our existing investors. In addition, as a result of such future issuances, new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of the current holders of our common stock. Our Board of Directors may adopt an equity compensation plan in the future to enhance our efforts to attract and reward employees, executives, and consultants with grants of equity-based awards. Future issuances of equity-based awards, including issuances under any such future equity compensation plan, may result in material dilution to the equity interests of our existing investors and have an adverse effect on the market price of our securities.

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.
