Previous report
We have never declared or paid cash dividends, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our common stock as a source for any future dividend income. Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to declare dividends. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
Reworded paragraphs (25)
Previous wording
We are required to meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain our Nasdaq listing. If we violate Nasdaq listing requirements, our common stock may be delisted. If we fail to meet any of Nasdaq’s listing standards, our common stock may be delisted. In addition, our board of directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. The delisting of our common stock would significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.

We need to increase current revenue levels by increasing paid subscriptions to our Blackbox System platform or develop additional revenue sources from new products if we are to attain and maintain consistent profitability.

These products and services are expected to include applications targeted for investors who are not day traders or swing traders and products designed for professional traders.

Previous wording
We face significant competition and we expect such competition to increase. Our industry and the markets we serve are evolving rapidly and becoming increasingly competitive. Larger and more established companies may focus on our markets and could directly compete with us. Smaller companies could also launch new platforms and services that compete with us and that could gain market acceptance quickly. We also expect our existing competitors in the markets to continue to focus on these areas. A number of these companies may have greater financial, technological, and other resources than we do and greater name recognition than us, which may enable them to compete more effectively. Specifically, we believe the following companies to be direct competitors: Trade Ideas, Flow Algo, Unusual Whales and Trade Alert. Companies with social media platforms dedicated to financial markets include Stock Twits and Wall Street Bets. Our competitors may announce new products, services, or enhancements that better address changing industry standards or the needs of our customers, such as mobile access. Any such increased competition could cause pricing pressure, loss of market share, or decreased customer engagement, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

In addition, the Company expects to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated with the Exchange, including taxes, legal fees, advisor fees, filing fees, mailing expenses, and financial printing expenses.

Previous wording
Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into acquisition, merger or other business combination agreements like the Share Exchange Agreement. Even if such a lawsuit is without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on our liquidity and financial condition. Lawsuits that may be brought against us or our directors could also seek, among other things, injunctive relief or other equitable relief, including a request to rescind parts of the Share Exchange Agreement already implemented and to otherwise enjoin the parties from consummating the Exchange. One of the conditions to the closing of the Exchange is that no injunction by any governmental entity having jurisdiction over Blackboxstocks or Evtec Aluminium has been entered and continues to be in effect and no law has been adopted, in either case that prohibits the closing of the Exchange. Consequently, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the Exchange, that injunction may delay or prevent the Exchange from being completed within the expected time frame or at all, which may adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.
