  • Technology - Risk 1
    Uncertainty in the development, deployment, and use of AI in our products and services, as well as our business more broadly, could adversely affect our business and reputation.

    - Rapid evolution and integration challenges - In particular, AI and machine learning technologies are rapidly developing and as these technologies are incorporated into our products and the operations of our customers, the pace of change has in the past and may in the future continue to accelerate. As with many new and emerging technologies, AI presents numerous risks and challenges to our internal business operations and our customers. For example, unexpected failures or inaccuracies in AI-driven systems could expose our customers to operational risks, particularly in high-stakes use cases such as law enforcement or public safety. - Generative AI immaturity and defects - The development, adoption, integration and use of generative AI technology remains in the early stages and consequently, our AI technology may contain material defects or errors. Thoroughly testing generative AI models is both financially and operationally challenging due to their complexity and the unpredictability of outputs. - Inherited risks from acquisitions and models - Anticipated benefits of such transactions may not materialize due to factors such as: inability to integrate or profitably benefit from acquired products, technologies (including AI and machine learning models), or businesses; inherited risks associated with AI or machine learning models (including model performance limitations, bias, explainability challenges, or reliance on training data) that may be incomplete, inaccurate, or subject to regulatory restrictions. - Regulatory and privacy implications - We are subject to evolving U.S. and foreign laws governing the collection, processing, storage, and transfer of personal and sensitive information, as well as the development and deployment of AI systems. AI capabilities are integrated across our product portfolio, and we market AI-enabled functionality to customers as part of our long-term product strategy. As a result, regulatory developments affecting AI systems may directly impact our products and services.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    NASDAQ may delist our Common Stock from trading on its exchange, which could limit stockholders' ability to trade our Common Stock.

    Our Common Stock is listed for trading on NASDAQ and requires us to meet certain financial, public float, bid price and liquidity standards on an ongoing basis to continue the listing of our Common Stock. If we fail to meet these continued listing requirements, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting. If our Common Stock is delisted and we are not able to list our Common Stock on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities would be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including limited availability of market quotations for our Common Stock and reduced liquidity for the trading of our securities. In addition, we could experience a decreased ability to issue additional securities and obtain additional financing in the future.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    Our Common Stock price is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including limited public fluctuation.

    The market price of our Common Stock has been volatile in the past and the market price of our Common Stock could be volatile in the future. You may not be able to resell shares of our Common Stock following periods of volatility because of the market's adverse reaction to volatility. Other factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things: - actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results, including the loss of a large or key customer or vendor;         - the absence of securities analysts covering us and distributing research and recommendations about us;         - we may have a low trading volume for a few reasons, including that a large portion of our stock is closely held;         - overall stock market fluctuations;         - announcements concerning our business or those of our competitors;         - actual or perceived limitations on our ability to raise capital when we require it, and to raise such capital on favorable terms;         - conditions or trends in the industry;         - litigation;         - changes in market valuations of other similar companies;         - future sales of Common Stock;         - departure of key personnel or failure to hire key personnel; and         - general market conditions including those national and international events that adversely affect markets Any of these factors could have a significant and adverse impact on the market price of our Common Stock. In addition, the stock market in general has at times experienced extreme volatility and rapid decline that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    Because our officers and Board of Directors will make all management decisions, you should only invest in our securities if you are comfortable entrusting our directors to make all decisions.

    Our Board of Directors will have the sole right to make all decisions with respect to our management. Investors will not have an opportunity to evaluate the specific projects that will be financed with future operating income. You should not purchase our securities unless you are willing to entrust all aspects of our management to our officers and directors.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Our issuance of additional Common Stock in exchange for services or to repay debt would dilute your proportionate ownership and voting rights and could have a negative impact on the market price of our Common Stock.

    We may issue shares of Common Stock and Common Stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants to pay for debt or services, without further approval by our stockholders based upon such factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant at that time. It is possible that we will issue additional shares of Common Stock under circumstances we may deem appropriate at the time.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.

    From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of Common Stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months, subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months, subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information, and notice requirements. Of the approximately 11,303,885 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of March 23, 2026, no shares, other than those held by persons who are "control persons", are restricted subject to Rule 144. Given the limited trading of our Common Stock, resale of even a small number of shares of our Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Our equity incentive plan allows us to issue stock options and award shares in our Common Stock. We may in the future create additional equity incentive plans, which may at that time require us to file a registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the issuance of shares upon the exercise or vesting of awards granted or otherwise purchased under those plans. As a result, any shares issued or granted under the plans may be freely tradable in the public market. If equity securities are issued under the plans, if implemented, and it is perceived that they will be sold in the public market, then the price of our Common Stock could decline substantially. No holders of any shares of our Common Stock have the right to require us to file registration statements for the public resale of such shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    The provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may delay or prevent a takeover which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.

    The provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, certain provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired more than certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation's disinterested stockholders. Further, our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors at their sole discretion. Our Board of Directors may, without stockholder approval, establish and issue series of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders 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.
