  • Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1
    We have identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting and we cannot provide assurances that this weakness will be effectively remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.

    A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As described in Part II, Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures," management identified a material weakness as of December 31, 2024 relating to the lack of an effective risk assessment process that defined clear financial reporting objectives, that identified and evaluated risks of misstatement due to errors over certain financial reporting processes, or that developed internal controls to mitigate those risks. As part of management's evaluation of this material weakness, it has been identified that certain other deficiencies in control activities have materialized as a result of the deficiency in the Company's risk assessment. We are actively engaged in the planning for, and implementation of, remediation efforts to address this material weakness, but there can be no assurance that those efforts will be successful. A material weakness will not be considered remediated until the updated controls have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that such controls are operating effectively. If we do not remediate this material weakness in a timely manner, or if additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting are discovered, they may adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information timely and accurately and our financial statements may contain material misstatements or omissions. In addition, we may experience delays or be unable to meet our reporting obligations or to comply with SEC rules and regulations, which could result in investigations and sanctions by regulatory authorities. Any of these results may, among other adverse consequences, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, incur the expense of remediation, result in regulatory scrutiny, litigation, investigations or enforcement actions, limit our ability to access the capital markets, lead to a decline in our stock price, and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    Our investors may lose their entire investment because our financial status creates a doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.

    We do not have sufficient cash nor do we have a significant source of revenues to cover our operational costs and allow us to continue as a going concern.  The Company anticipates generating revenues through the licensing of its core products and if that is not sufficient we may seek to raise additional operating capital to implement our business plan in an offering of our common stock or debt.  Our plan requires capital to operate for the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that the revenues generated or that such an offering will be successful. You may lose your entire investment

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    If a market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.

    Our common stock is quoted under the symbol "SKVI" on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc, an electronic inter-dealer quotation medium for equity securities. We do not currently have an active trading market. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. Because we are quoted on the OTCQB, our securities may be less liquid, receive less coverage by security analysts and news media, and generate lower prices than might otherwise be obtained if they were listed on a national securities exchange. Our securities are very thinly traded. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock without significantly depressing the value of the stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could continue to result in major fluctuations in the price of the stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Our common stock price may be volatile and could fluctuate widely in price, which could result in substantial losses for investors.

    The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including: - technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors;- government regulation of our products and services;- the establishment of partnerships with other technology companies;- intellectual property disputes;- additions or departures of key personnel;- sales of our common stock - our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services;- our ability to execute our business plan;- operating results below expectations;- loss of any strategic relationship;- industry developments;- economic and other external factors; and - period to period fluctuations in our financial results. Because we have nominal revenues to date, you should consider any one of these factors to be material. Our stock price may fluctuate widely as a result of any of the above. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    As a new investor, you will experience substantial dilution as a result of future equity issuances.

    In the event we are required to raise additional capital it may do so by selling additional shares of common stock thereby diluting the shares and ownership interests of existing shareholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Because we are subject to the "Penny Stock" rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.

    The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any listed, trading equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty Purchasers may experience in attempting to liquidate such 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.
