• Non-Reliance on Prior Financials

  The audit committee concluded that previously issued financial statements for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, and quarterly periods through Q1 2026, should no longer be relied upon due to unrecorded tax liabilities.

• Estimated Tax Liabilities

  A sales tax liability of approximately $1.77 million (including interest) and an income tax liability of approximately $210,000 (including interest) are expected to be recorded, totaling roughly $1.98 million.

CreditRiskMonitor disclosed it will restate financials for multiple periods after discovering it failed to collect and remit sales and income taxes in jurisdictions where it had nexus. The company expects to record a combined tax liability of roughly $1.98 million — a significant hit for a company with a $23 million market cap and declining profitability. Management also identified a material weakness in internal controls over tax compliance, raising serious concerns about financial reporting reliability. The restatement and control failure come on top of an already weak operating performance, compounding risks for investors.
