4 risk signal(s), 1 positive signal(s) detected from XBRL filing diff analysis. The combination of explicit "going concern" language in the filing with deteriorating cash flow or rising leverage is a severe warning signal — the company's own auditors have flagged doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern.
- Leverage is building — debt rising while equity contracts: Long-term debt grew +18.8% while stockholders equity declined -970.0%. The debt-to-equity ratio is deteriorating, increasing financial risk and interest burden. This may constrain future borrowing capacity.
- NEW: Going concern doubt in latest filing: The term "going concern" "substantial doubt" appears in recent 10-K/10-Q filings but was NOT present in the prior 24-month period. This is a new risk disclosure that warrants attention. Found in 2 filing(s).
- NEW: Substantial doubt about ability to continue in latest filing: The term "substantial doubt" "ability to continue" appears in recent 10-K/10-Q filings but was NOT present in the prior 24-month period. This is a new risk disclosure that warrants attention. Found in 2 filing(s).
- Restatement of financial statements: The term "restatement of" "previously issued" appears in 4 recent filing(s) (vs 1 in the prior period). This risk language is ongoing.
- Operating cash flow exceeds net income: OCF is 1.29x net income, indicating high earnings quality — cash conversion is strong and accruals are not inflating reported profits.
- Endogenous analysis: The combination of explicit "going concern" language in the filing with deteriorating cash flow or rising leverage is a severe warning signal — the company's own auditors have flagged doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern.
- 6 new XBRL disclosure(s) in latest filing — expanding reporting scope.
- 20 disclosure(s) dropped from prior year — reduced reporting granularity.
- 2 new risk-language term(s) detected in filing text: Going concern doubt, Substantial doubt about ability to continue.
- Ongoing high-severity risk language: Restatement of financial statements.
