Warning signs in its filings
Problems the company itself reported to the SEC, in its own words.
2 serious warning signs in CitroTech’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 30 Mar 2026, plus the 10-Q filed 10 Aug 2026 and 5 later 8-Ks.
Doubt it can keep going
SeriousThe company or its auditor warned it may not have enough money to last the next year.
“These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year following the issuance date of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.”
Show the full paragraph
At June 30, 2026, the Company had cash of approximately $ 2.5 million, working capital of $ 3.3 million, and an accumulated deficit of $ 123.3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company incurred a net loss of $ 10.1 million and used approximately $ 3.8 million of cash in operating activities. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to scale commercial sales. Management believes that current cash is not sufficient to fund commercial-scale production and the related working capital requirements for the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year following the issuance date of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Weak checks on its own accounts
SeriousThe company said its checks on its own accounts did not work at year end. Mistakes could slip into the numbers.
“Based upon such evaluation, our management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.”

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) 2013 Framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based upon such evaluation, our management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following material weaknesses as of December 31, 2025:

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.
