Warning signs in its filings
Problems the company itself reported to the SEC, in its own words.
1 serious warning sign in AmpliTech Group’s filings.
We look for five warning signs: doubt it can keep going, weak checks on its own accounts, a notice that its past accounts can't be relied on, a change of auditor, and one customer bringing in a big share of sales. We don't check lawsuits, investigations or debt yet.
We checked the auditor's report, internal controls, restatement notices, auditor changes and big customers in the 10-K filed 26 Mar 2026, plus the 10-Q filed 13 Aug 2026 and 7 later 8-Ks.
Weak checks on its own accounts
SeriousThe company said its checks on its own accounts did not work at the end of its latest quarter. Mistakes could slip into the numbers.
“As a result of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.”
Show the full paragraph
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2026, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. As a result of this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, believes the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly represent, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with GAAP.

One big customer
Worth knowingOne customer brings in a big share of sales: 42.9% last year. Losing that customer would hurt.
“As of December 31, 2025, there was one customer that accounted for 42.86% of our total revenue.”
From the 10-K filed 26 March 2026, Item 1. Business. Read it in the filing
A 10-K is the yearly report every US company files with the SEC. An 8-K is a short notice of a big event.
The deep dive
Everything above is arithmetic on public filings. The deep dive reads the last ten years of annual reports, the proxy statements, and the earnings calls, then argues the case the way Buffett, Klarman, and Hohn would, and checks every claim against the source.
