- Capital Strategy: The company is actively pursuing private placements (BCAN, Nuwa) to raise capital, indicating a reliance on equity financing to fund operations.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current status of the American Express litigation and whether a settlement has been reached.
- Confirm the total number of authorized shares and the impact of the 3,050,000+ new shares on existing shareholder dilution.
- Check if the $50,000 minimum commitment from BCAN Holdings was fully funded and if the option to purchase the remaining $270,000 was exercised.
- Review the company's cash position to determine if the $20,000 from Nuwa and $144,000 from BCAN were sufficient to cover the American Express debt.
- Confirm the issuance status of the 1,000,000 shares promised to Kevin Fickle, as the filing states they "have yet to be issued."
