  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    We may engage in a "reverse merger" acquisition, resulting in severe dilution to existing stockholders.

    In the event we engage in a merger or acquisition, it is likely that the transaction will be structured as a" reverse merger" that would result in severe dilution to existing stockholders. In connection with any such reverse merger, our stock may be subject to a reverse stock split, and the value of our stockholder's shares may be negatively impacted. We can provide no assurance that we will engage in any reverse merger, or any other merger or acquisition transaction.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Our auditor has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. An inability to continue as a going concern would likely lead to a loss of your entire investment.

    Our independent certified public accountant's report on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 contains an explanatory paragraph indicating that we have incurred recurring losses, and as of December 31, 2015, had negative working capital and a net capital deficiency. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Our common stock is subject to the SEC's Penny Stock Regulations which may affect the liquidity for our stock, the ability of our stockholders to resell their shares through a broker-dealer, and their ability to obtain accurate price quotations.

    Our common stock is subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules. These regulations define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, these rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered underwriter, current quotations for the securities, information on the limited market in penny stocks and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealers' presumed control over the market. In addition, the broker-dealer must obtain a written statement from the customer that such disclosure information was provided and must retain such acknowledgment for at least three years. Further, monthly statements must be sent disclosing current price information for the penny stock held in the account. The penny stock rules also require that broker-dealers engaging in a transaction in a penny stock make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. The foregoing rules may materially and adversely affect the liquidity for the market of our common stock, if any such public market develops. Such rules may also affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock in any such public market, the ability of holders of such securities to obtain accurate price quotations and may therefore impede the ability of holders of our common stock to sell such securities in the secondary market.

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.
