Filing Explained
At June 30, 2026, common shares outstanding were 5,034,291 versus 5,018,799 at year-end, while issued shares stayed 5,151,279.
The July 22 Form 8-K furnishes second-quarter results and the company’s June 30 financial condition; its balance sheet reports more common shares outstanding at quarter-end than at year-end, without a change in issued shares.
Form 8-K is used to report specified material events, and this filing places the event at the reporting stage rather than presenting a new financing or completed corporate transaction.
The financial information is unaudited and the company says its subsequent-events review will continue through the filing date of the consolidated financial statements, so the reported figures remain subject to change.
