RISK INDEX
RED FLAGS 58 YEARS-LONG PATTERN 4 OFFICIAL 8-K NOTICES 12 = 74/100. WHY THIS NUMBER, PIECE BY PIECE.

THE READ 54 red-flag mentions across this year's filings, led by dilution and reverse stock split, and 306 since 2001, so this is a long-running pattern; share count shrank 85% over the past year (shrinking, not printing).

01

Red Flags

2025-08-30 → 2026-08-30

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 25 REAL WARNINGS · 6 matching docS this year · 59 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] 10-Q FILED 2025-11-14 · [2] 10-Q FILED 2026-05-14 · [3] 10-Q FILED 2026-08-13 · [4] 10-K FILED 2026-03-31 · [5] 10-K/A FILED 2025-10-29

Reverse stock split AT LEAST 26 REAL WARNINGS · 24 matching docS this year · 125 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 REAL WARNINGS · 3 matching docS this year · 78 ALL TIME

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

Delisting / exchange risk 3 REAL WARNINGS · 3 matching docS this year · 44 ALL TIME

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

EVIDENCE: [1] 10-K/A FILED 2025-10-29 · [2] 10-K/A FILED 2025-10-31 · [3] 10-K FILED 2026-03-31

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 · 2026-08-28

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

BASIS FOR

+1

Share count is stable-ish (-0.1% change between the last two reported quarters).

+2

Revenue was roughly flat (+14.6% period over period).

+3

Fair-value range anchored to cited facts: $8.09 to $24.26 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.
