2026-08-13: red flag filed

Open-market purchases and sales (Form 4 codes P and S) by officers, directors and 10% owners, by transaction date, from 2026-05-15 to 2026-09-12. 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

"The conditions and events that previously raised substantial doubt have been alleviated by management's plans and actions."

Quoted from the filing. Source

What this means

Going-concern doubt disclosed, then alleviated: the company said conditions raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, but that its plans or new funding resolve that doubt for the next 12 months. A weaker warning than an unresolved going-concern doubt, but the company recently needed a rescue plan or fresh money to stay afloat.

Source: management disclosure in Form 10-Q (period 2026-06-30)
Status: doubt alleviated (the company says its plans or new funding resolve the substantial doubt it disclosed)

Why this score: substantial doubt disclosed, then alleviated by management's plans or new funding; quarterly (unaudited) disclosure; also within 90 days: Auditor change, Non-reliance / restatement
