Red Flags

2025-08-27 → 2026-08-27

We read every document this company filed with the SEC this year and counted the classic danger phrases. Where wording can be misleading, we open the actual documents and separate real warnings from accounting boilerplate. Each hit links to the exact document.

Dilution (at the market offering) AT LEAST 9 REAL WARNINGS · 42 matching docS this year · 119 ALL TIME

An ATM lets the company print and sell new shares into the market any day it wants. Every print dilutes your slice.

EVIDENCE: [1] 8-K FILED 2025-09-30 · [2] 8-K FILED 2026-02-13 · [3] S-3 FILED 2026-06-26 · [4] 8-K FILED 2025-08-28 · [5] 8-K FILED 2026-08-13

Reverse stock split AT LEAST 6 REAL WARNINGS · 51 matching docS this year · 210 ALL TIME

A reverse split shrinks the share count to lift the price above $1. Repeat reverse splits are the classic death-spiral signature.

Going concern doubt AT LEAST 45 REAL WARNINGS · 58 matching docS this year · 216 ALL TIME

Auditors flagged substantial doubt the company survives the next 12 months without new money.

Delisting / exchange risk AT LEAST 4 REAL WARNINGS · 17 matching docS this year · 77 ALL TIME

The exchange has threatened to kick the stock off. Delisting pressure usually ends in a reverse split or a fire-sale raise.

The Printing Press

How many shares exist, over time, exactly as the company reported in its own filings. In microcaps, a rising share count is how holders pay for everything: salaries, debts, and bad deals. Sudden collapses in the line are reverse splits, marked below.

29,516,511 shares · 2020-11-13 29,516,511 shares · 2021-08-13 AVG/YEAR SINCE 2020: +0.0%

SOURCE: THE COMPANY'S OWN REPORTED SHARE COUNTS ACROSS 3 FILINGS, STRAIGHT FROM SEC RECORDS

CHECKING OFFICIAL SPLIT RECORDS…

What this means for YOUR shares

Type how many shares you hold. The math is plain division on the company's own reported counts.

03

Cash Countdown

Cash in the bank against how fast the company burns it. When this hits zero, the next stop is usually a desperate raise at bad terms, and existing holders pay through dilution.

Breaking Filing

8-K · 2026-08-27

An 8-K is the "something happened right now" filing. Here is what this one says, in the company's own words.

HOW THE BRACKET IS BUILT: BOOK EQUITY OF $0.0478/SHARE AT 0.5-1.0X · MULTIPLES STRIPPED: UNDER A YEAR OF CASH AT THE CURRENT BURN, SO THE BRACKET CAPS AT WIND-DOWN CASH · CASH FLOOR: $0.3793/SHARE IN A WIND-DOWN.

BASIS FOR

+1

Share count is stable-ish (+0.0% change between the last two reported quarters).

+2

Revenue grew 63.3% period over period, a bullish signal in the filings.

+3

Fair-value range anchored to cited facts: $0.0239 to $0.0478 per share.

AGAINST

−1

Cash of $11,196,000 funds under half a year of operating burn, a hard going-concern pressure without fresh capital.

−2

Verified going-concern warnings in a recent filing: auditors or management flagged substantial doubt about continuing (document text checked, boilerplate excluded).

METHOD: DETERMINISTIC RULES OVER CITED SEC FILING FACTS: SHARE-COUNT CHANGE BETWEEN THE LAST TWO REPORTED QUARTERS (DILUTION), CASH-TO-BURN RUNWAY FROM THE MOST RECENT OPERATING CASH FLOW, PERIOD-OVER-PERIOD REVENUE GROWTH, AND A FAIR-VALUE RANGE ANCHORED TO CASH PER SHARE VS PRICE. THRESHOLDS ARE TUNABLE IN APP/VERDICT_ENGINE.PY. NOT A PREDICTION.
