Finance & Corporate
Total Risks: 5/13 (38%)Above Sector Average
Accounting & Financial Operations4 | 30.8%
Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1
Added
Limited Operating History
We commenced operations in 2012, and our operating history is of relatively short duration relative to our publicly traded industry peers. We have not generated significant revenues and have incurred losses from operations. We operate in an emerging and rapidly changing industry. The nature of our business and our ability to operate profitably depends significantly on the adoption of new API products, our business model, and the scalability of our business. Our business is early stage and involves substantial significant operating risks. We have a limited operating history and our commercial success depends on our ability to finance our operations and execute our business plan. They will require the procurement of additional equity. We consign the risk of our business on the ability to raise funds in the future. We may never be able to raise adequate funds on acceptable terms, if any, which could seriously affect our business. Achieving or sustaining profitability is highly challenging in the rapidly evolving market in which we operate, and as a consequence, we may never achieve or sustain profitability. We are merely speculative growing companies and our business may be subjected to rapid changes resulting in our inability to accurately predict. The success of the adoption of our technology is dependent upon convincing major industry players to use our technology in their supply chain. To that end, we require successful multiple long-term relationship commitments from them. The adoption of our technology into the supply chain for such major players may never occur. The liquidity and market price of our common stock could be adversely affected if large shareholders, including executive officers or directors, elect/fail to sell their holdings.

Our internal control policies, while tailored to our current size and business, will likely be misaligned if our business scales significantly.
Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 3

Product problems risk
The safety, reliability, quality, performance and customer satisfaction with our products may be less than expected.

Employment / Personnel1 | 7.7%
Employment / Personnel - Risk 1

Total Risks: 2/13 (15%)Below Sector Average
Regulation2 | 15.4%
Regulation - Risk 1
Added
The substantial risks identified below represent material risks common to early stage companies competing in a rapidly changing technological industry. Our business is in an emerging industry where there is little regulatory certainty. The securities laws in multiple jurisdictions are unique and evolving and may be modified periodically. In the future, regulators may further modify these laws and add additional regulations. Such changes could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
Regulation - Risk 2
Added
Due to our limited operating history and our early stage of development, the application of all or some of these risks may vary materially from any substantial historical practice if our business grows significantly, which could result in changes to our historical trends. The nous will require the procurement of additional equity. We consign the risk of our business on the ability to raise funds in the future. We expect to rely on debt financing. In the future, we may be required to issue senior secured debt which may have restrictions, and we may be restricted from taking actions that may be required to fund our growth in the future.
Tech & Innovation
Total Risks: 1/13 (8%)Below Sector Average
Trade Secrets1 | 7.7%
Trade Secrets - Risk 1

Patent or intellectual property litigation risk
Our success depends on our ability to obtain and enforce patents and other intellectual property rights; if we are not successful in doing so, or if we are subject to litigation with respect to those, our business could be subject to delays, defensive actions or be blocked from entering into or continuing in new markets.
Ability to Sell

Price Appreciation Risk
The trading market for our common stock is currently limited, and our stock price is being determined by a relatively small group of market participants. Consequently, the trading market may be thin and limited during adverse market conditions. If the trading market is not very liquid at times, the price of our common stock may be severely affected. Questions about the trading market for our common stock and securities such as our common stock or warrants may not be asked during oral sessions to you.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky.
    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment.
      They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result.
        It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
          How do companies disclose their risk factors?
          Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process.
            Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”.
              Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report.
                According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
                  How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
                  Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing.
                    You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector.
                      Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements.
                        A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
