  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The conversion of our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into Class A common stock will dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders.

    The conversion price of our Series A Preferred Stock is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including (i) if we sell Class A common stock or equivalents at a price below the then-current conversion price (subject to certain exceptions), (ii) on each six-month anniversary of issuance (each, a "Reset Date") if the conversion price then in effect exceeds the closing price of the Class A common stock on such date, and (iii) upon stock splits, stock dividends, or similar recapitalization events. The most recent Reset Date was April 22, 2026, resulting in a Reset Price of $2.76. The next Reset Date will be October 22, 2026. Upon conversion, we must issue to the holders Class A common stock representing all dividends that would otherwise have accrued on such Series A Preferred through the five-year anniversary of issuance, and this amount converts at a price equal to the lesser of the conversion price, or 90% of the lowest VWAP of Class A common stock during the five trading days prior to conversion (subject to a floor price). In addition, if the floor price exceeds 90% of the five-day VWAP, the stated value of the Series A Preferred is subject to increase. If the conversion price of the Series A Preferred decreases or the stated value of the Series A Preferred increases, the number of shares underlying the Series A Preferred Stock will increase, materially diluting our stockholders. See Note 6 – Stockholders' Equity - Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for further details.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    We are not currently in compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements related to the bid price of our common stock and if we are unable to regain compliance with the listing requirements, our common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and could make it more difficult for stockholders to sell their shares.

    Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, and we are therefore subject to its continued listing requirements, including requirements with respect to the market value of publicly held shares, market value of listed shares, minimum bid price per share, and minimum stockholder's equity, among others, and requirements relating to board and committee independence. If we fail to satisfy one or more of the requirements, we may be delisted from Nasdaq. Since July 31, 2026, the closing price of our common stock has been below $1.00, and if our common stock remains below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days we will not be in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "bid price rule"). In accordance with Nasdaq rules, we would normally be provided with a grace period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the bid price rule. However, since we completed a reverse stock split in March 2026, which is within the last one-year period, if we do not meet the bid price rule, we will not be eligible for any compliance period and the Nasdaq Staff will provide written notification to us that our common stock may be delisted. We would then be entitled to appeal the Staff's determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel and request a hearing. There can be no assurance that, if we do appeal the delisting determination by the Staff to the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, that such appeal would be successful. Delisting from Nasdaq would adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities, may significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and may negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock. Delisting also could have other negative results, including the potential loss of employee confidence, the loss of institutional investors and general investors that will consider investing in our common stock, a reduction in the number of market makers in our common stock, a reduction in the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our common stock, a reduction in the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our common stock or interest in business development opportunities. Further, we would likely become a "penny stock", which would make trading of our common stock more difficult.

Further, we would likely become a "penny stock", which would make trading of our common stock more difficult.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    If our shares of common stock become subject to 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 quotations systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities provided by the exchange or system. If we are unable to maintain or retain a listing on the Nasdaq and if the price of our 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 purchase's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transaction 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 4
    If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

    The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock may be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, or if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price may decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Certain of the Company's large shareholders may be able to exert significant influence on the Company and their interest may conflict with the interest of its shareholders.

    Certain of the Company's large shareholders, including our officers and directors, represented approximately 49.5% of the Company's voting rights as of December 31, 2025. Therefore, these shareholders would be able to exert significant influence over certain matters, including matters that must be resolved by the general meeting of shareholders, such as the election of members to the board of directors or the declaration of dividends or other distributions. To the extent that the interests of these shareholders may differ from the interests of the Company's other shareholders, the Company's other shareholders may be disadvantaged by any actions that these shareholders may seek to pursue.

    Our stock price may be volatile, or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

    You should consider an investment in our securities to be risky, and you should invest in our securities only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuation in the market value of your investment. The market price of our common shares could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to the factors described in this section and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are: - Actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly and annual operating results or those of companies perceived to be similar to us;   - Weather conditions, particularly during holiday shopping periods;   - Changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors, or differences between our actual results and those expected by investors and securities analysts;   - Fluctuations in the market valuations of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;   - The public's response to our or our competitor's filings with the SEC or announcements regarding new products or services, enhancements, significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic investments, litigations, restructurings or other significant matters;   - Speculation about our business in the press or the investment community;   - Future sales of our shares;   - Actions by our competitors;   - Additions or departures of members of our senior management or other key personnel; and   - The passage of legislation or other regulatory developments affecting us or our industry. In addition, the securities markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect market price of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, systemic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, loss of investor confidence, interest rate changes, or international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our shares. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to securities class action litigation that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to management. The trading market for our common shares will be influenced by the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. The price of our common shares could decline if one or more securities analysts downgrade our common shares or if those analysts issue a sell recommendation or other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who elect to cover us downgrade our common shares, our share price could decline rapidly. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our common share price and trading volume to decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    There is currently limited liquidity of shares of our common stock

    We can give no assurance that an active trading market for shares of our common stock will develop on the Nasdaq or if it develops, will be sustained, or that the shares of common stock will trade at or above the public offering price. Failure to develop or maintain a trading market could negatively affect its value and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares. Even if a market for our common stock does develop, the market price of our common stock may be highly volatile. In addition to the uncertainties relating to future operating performance and the profitability of operations, factors such as variations in interim financial results or various, as yet unpredictable, factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. The liquidity of the Company's common stock may be adversely affected by a reverse stock split due to the reduced number of shares outstanding following such an action. This effect could be further compounded if the market price of the Company's common stock does not increase proportionately as a result of the reverse stock split.

    For as long as we are a "smaller reporting company" we will not be required to comply with certain requirements that apply to other publicly reporting companies. We cannot predict whether the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common shares less attractive to investors.

    We are currently a "smaller reporting company". For as long as we continue to be a smaller reporting company, we may choose to take advantage of certain exemptions from reporting requirements applicable to other publicly reporting companies that are not smaller reporting companies. These include not being required to comply with the auditor attestation of our internal controls over financial reporting provided by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and not being required to provide certain disclosures regarding executive compensation required of larger publicly reporting companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result of any choices to reduce future disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our shares and our share price may be more volatile. Further, as a result of these scaled regulatory requirements, our disclosure may be more limited than that of other publicly reporting companies and you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of such companies.

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.
