Insider trading around this filing

90 days before the flag: no open-market insider sales or purchases reported.
30 days after: none reported.

Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2025-12-12 to 2026-04-11. Excludes option exercises, grants, gifts and tax withholding. Amended filings replace the originals; joint filings count once. Foreign private issuers do not file Form 4. Many insider sales are pre-scheduled (10b5-1 plans) and are not by themselves a sign of wrongdoing.

Verified excerpt

"Additionally, the Company's earnings and press releases and similar communications should no longer be relied upon to the extent that they relate to its financial statements for the Prior Periods and the Report of our prior Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the financial statements and internal control over financial reporting for 2023 and 2024 should not be relied upon."

Quoted from the filing. Source

What this means

The company says previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon (8-K Item 4.02). This is one of the most serious accounting red flags: past reported numbers were wrong and will be restated.

Why this score: also within 90 days: Late annual report (NT 10-K)
