Verified excerpt

"(the "Company"), following consultation with management, concluded that the Company's previously issued financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, and for the interim periods ended January 31, 2025 and April 30, 2025, should no longer be relied upon due to errors in the valuation of service stock issuances and the related stock-based compensation expense."

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: Going-concern doubt, Late quarterly report (NT 10-Q)
