Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2026-01-20 to 2026-05-20. 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

"As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not earned sufficient revenue since inception and has sustained operating losses during the year ended December 31, 2024, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern."

Quoted from the filing. Source

What this means

The filing states that substantial doubt exists about the company's ability to continue as a going concern: it may not have enough cash to last the next 12 months. Expect dilution, debt deals or worse. An auditor's going-concern paragraph is the strongest form of this warning.

Source: independent auditor report in Form 10-K (period 2025-12-31)

Why this score: in auditor's report; also within 90 days: Late annual report (NT 10-K), Late quarterly report (NT 10-Q)
