    We have a limited operating history and we may never not be profitable.

    We have recently changed our business's focus and have an unproven business plan. Accordingly, it is difficult to evaluate our business. There can be no assurances that we will be profitable or that our common stock will have any value. Any forecasts we make concerning our operations may prove to be inaccurate. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of development. As a result of these risks, challenges, and uncertainties, the value of your investment in our common stock could be significantly reduced or completely lost.

Share Price & Shareholder Rights7 | 46.7%
  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    The sale of a significant number of our shares of common stock could depress the price of our common stock.

    Sales or issuances of a large number of shares of common stock in the public market or the perception that sales may occur could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. As of September 30, 2020, there were approximately 6.8 million shares of common stock outstanding. Significant shares of common stock may be held by our principal shareholders, other Company insiders and other large shareholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

    The market price of our common stock has been and is likely in the future to be volatile. Our common stock price may fluctuate in response to factors such as: - Announcements by us regarding resources, liquidity, significant acquisitions, equity investments and divestitures, strategic relationships, addition or loss of significant customers and contracts, capital expenditure commitments, loan, note payable and agreement defaults, loss of our subsidiaries and impairment of assets,   - Issuance or repayment of debt, accounts payable or convertible debt for general or merger and acquisition purposes,   - Sale of a significant number of shares of our common stock by shareholders,   - General market and economic conditions,   - Quarterly variations in our operating results,   - Investor relation activities,   - Announcements of technological innovations,   - New product introductions by us or our competitors,   - Competitive activities, and   - Additions or departures of key personnel. These broad market and industry factors may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    We may issue shares of preferred stock that would have liquidation preferences to our common stock.

    Our articles of incorporation currently authorize the issuance of 20,000,000 shares of our preferred shares, of which 645,612 shares of our preferred shares are issued and outstanding at September 30, 2020. Our board of directors has the power to issue shares without shareholder approval, and such shares can be issued with such rights, preference, and limitations as may be determined by our board of directors. The rights of holder of common stock will be subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of any holders of preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Although we presently have no commitments or contracts to issue any shares of preferred stock, authorized and unissued preferred stock could delay, discourage, hinder or preclude an unsolicited acquisition of our company, could make it less likely that shareholders receive a premium for their shares as a result of any such attempt, and could adversely affect the market prices of, and the voting and other rights, of the holders of outstanding shares of our common stock.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest with the Company as a result of their relationships with other companies.

    To the extent that any of our officers and directors are also directors and officers of other companies, conflicts of interest may arise between their duties as our officers and directors and as directors and officers of other companies. In addition, in the past the Company entered into supplier, financing and consulting arrangements with entities controlled by directors of the Company, and we may consider entering into such arrangements in the future. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our By-laws.

    Without any anti-takeover provisions, there are limited deterrents for a take-over of our Company, which may result in a change in our management and directors that we cannot control.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    The laws of the State of Nevada and our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits.

    The laws of the State of Nevada provide that our directors will not be liable to us or our shareholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as directors of the company. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws permit us to indemnify our directors and officers against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing shareholders from recovering damages against our directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require us to use our limited assets to defend our directors and officers against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    Our stock is categorized as a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations which may limit a shareholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

    Our stock is categorized as a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than US$ 5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than US$ 5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. 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 in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must 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. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must 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 the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Additionally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

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.
