- Revenue, Profit, and Cash Flow: The filing text does not provide a clear value for these operational metrics.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the dilution of the share count due to two distinct events occurring since August 29, 2017:
- Issuance of shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with Kalani Investments Limited.
- Conversion of Series C Convertible Preferred Shares into common stock.
These issuances triggered an adjustment to the terms of outstanding Warrants issued in June 2014, lowering the exercise price and increasing the number of shares per warrant.
