Red Flags

2025-08-28 → 2026-08-28

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 11 REAL WARNINGS · 6 matching docS this year · 22 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 2026-05-08 · [2] 424B5 FILED 2026-05-08 · [3] 424B5 FILED 2026-06-01 · [4] 8-K FILED 2026-05-08 · [5] 8-K FILED 2026-06-01

Reverse stock split 0 THIS YEAR · 36 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 0 THIS YEAR · 20 ALL TIME

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

Delisting / exchange risk 0 REAL WARNINGS · 2 matching docS this year · 18 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.

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

(the "Company") entered into amendments to its agreements with its Chief Executive Officer, Saleel Awsare; its Chief Revenue Officer, Kurt Hoff; and its Chief Product & Strategy Officer, Mathi Gurusamy, as follows: Mr. Awsare’s Employment Agreement, dated October 31, 2023, has been amended to increase his annual base salary to $550,000 USD, effective as of August 1, 2026.

trailing revenue of $2.53/share at 1.0-3.0x

LAST CLOSE

HOW THE BRACKET IS BUILT: TRAILING REVENUE OF $2.53/SHARE AT 1.0-3.0X · BOOK EQUITY OF $2.55/SHARE AS A SUPPORT LEVEL · CASH FLOOR: $1.29/SHARE IN A WIND-DOWN.

BASIS FOR

+1

Shares outstanding grew 17.3% between the last two reported quarters, meaningful dilution.

+2

Revenue was roughly flat (-1.6% period over period).

+3

Fair-value range anchored to cited facts: $2.53 to $7.60 per share.

AGAINST

−1

The filings do not report usable cash and operating-burn figures, so runway could not be computed for this verdict.

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.
