Material Weaknesses Disclosed
The company discloses a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, related to lack of dedicated finance and accounting resources. DiamiR also has material weaknesses for the years ended May 31, 2026 and 2025, including lack of in-house U.S. GAAP expertise and absence of comprehensive written control policies.

Going Concern Warnings
DiamiR's auditor included a going concern paragraph in its audit report for the year ended May 31, 2026, citing substantial doubt about DiamiR's ability to continue as a going concern. The company's own auditor also included a going concern paragraph for the year ended December 31, 2025.

RICO Lawsuit Pending

Analysis · NIKI · Industrial Applications And Services
This pre-effective amendment to the $75 million shelf registration adds critical risk disclosures that were not in the original filing. The company discloses material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting at both the parent and DiamiR subsidiary level, a going concern warning from DiamiR's auditor, and a pending RICO lawsuit. These disclosures materially change the risk profile for investors considering the offering. The company has only 2 full-time employees and faces substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, making the shelf registration a survival mechanism rather than a growth initiative.
