At least they're honest! Maybe it's the sector I'm in, but I rarely see this kind of candor in my sub-field of technology...



I feel like S1 filings are always brutally honest like this. I believe it's a legal thing, they are afraid of future suits.


I hadn't known this! I definitely need to start reading S-1 filings for companies I'm interested in; I'm still an amateur at a lot of this...


They are required by law to disclose this in SEC filings


Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they legally required to disclose this kind of information? Couldn't it could be considered misleading investors otherwise?
