Net Losses
At the time of the securities offering, Digital Ally had incurred losses for several years. If the company were to be unsuccessful in reducing costs, it could have an adverse effect on its financial condition.
Developing Market
Digital Ally’s products are part of a rapidly evolving market, according to the prospectus. It is impossible to predict how the market will change and if the market will continue to grow.
Volatility Related to the Price of Common Stock
The market price for Digital Ally may be volatile compared with shares of larger, more established companies that trade on the national exchange, in part because it is, according to the prospectus “sporadically and thinly traded.”
Prepayment Provision of Promissory Notes
Digital Ally’s scheduled payments for promissory notes due August 4, 2020, may affect the company’s cash flow.
Dilution of Shares of Common Stocks
Investors exercising their warrants or options contracts may dilute the value of your common shares.
Management Use of Proceeds
Digital Ally’s management had broad discretion when it came to using the net proceeds, which means that management may use the net proceeds in ways that you disagree with or that may not prove effective.
Aegis Capital Corp. Underwriting
Investors should know that Aegis Capital Corp. served as the underwriter for this offering. Underwriters take on risk in exchange for a fee, which could motivate certain investment banks to underwrite investments that pose too much risk for the average retail investor. Additionally, brokers may have conflicts of interest when they recommend shares that are underwritten by an affiliate of their brokerage firm.
