Red Flags

2025-09-06 → 2026-09-06

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) 0 THIS YEAR · 1 ALL TIME

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

Reverse stock split 0 REAL WARNINGS · 1 matching doc this year · 3 ALL TIME

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

EVIDENCE: [1] 8-K FILED 2026-05-27

Going concern doubt 0 THIS YEAR · 7 ALL TIME

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

Delisting / exchange risk 0 THIS YEAR · 1 ALL TIME

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

SOURCE: FULL-TEXT SEARCH OF THE COMPANY'S OFFICIAL SEC FILINGS. "REAL WARNINGS" = WE OPENED THE LINKED DOCUMENTS AND FILTERED PHRASES WRAPPED IN NEGATIONS, RESOLUTION LANGUAGE OR STANDARD CONTRACT TERMS. "AT LEAST" = MORE DOCUMENTS CARRY THE PHRASE THIS YEAR THAN WE COULD OPEN AND READ.

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.

3,147,481 shares · 2011-04-30 10,010,367 shares · 2028-08-01 LAST 12M: -0.0% AVG/YEAR SINCE 2011: +6.9% ◉ REVERSE-SPLIT-STYLE COLLAPSE × 1

What this means for YOUR shares

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

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 · 2026-09-01

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

Item 5.02

(the “Company”), its subsidiary, Peoples Security Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), and their former President, Thomas P. Tulaney, approved an amendment to the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Agreement, dated May 31, 2012, by and among the Company, the Bank and Mr. Tulaney (the “SERP”). The amendment was made in connection with the Bank’s purchase of an annuity contract as a source of funding for Mr. Tulaney’s normal retirement benefit under the SERP. Under the terms of the amendment, if Mr. Tulaney survives the twenty-year normal retirement benefit period, the Bank will provide an a...

HOW THE BRACKET IS BUILT: TRAILING EARNINGS OF $6.17/SHARE AT 10.0-18.0X · BOOK EQUITY OF $53.56/SHARE AS A SUPPORT LEVEL · CASH FLOOR: $3.53/SHARE IN A WIND-DOWN.

BASIS FOR

+1

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

+2

Fair-value range anchored to cited facts: $61.69 to $111.04 per share.

AGAINST

−1

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

−2

The filings do not publish comparable revenue figures for two consecutive periods, so the revenue trend could not be measured.

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.
