-
Material Weakness Unremediated

Alexander Capital Lawsuit
Alexander Capital, L.P. filed suit in SDNY alleging breach of contract and seeking approximately US$4.495 million in damages related to its role as placement agent in the October/November 2025 PIPE.
Analysis · PDC · Technology
The audited annual report confirms the company's precarious financial position. The auditor's going concern paragraph, a working capital deficit of JPY1.84 billion (US$11.7 million), and a net loss of JPY2.75 billion (US$17.6 million) for FY2026 are now formally disclosed under U.S. GAAP. The material weakness in internal controls remains unremediated. Against this backdrop, the company disclosed that its sole PML customer terminated its SaaS agreement in May 2026, and that warrant exercises through August 12, 2026 raised only ~US$2.345 million — a fraction of the capital needed to fund operations. The Alexander Capital lawsuit seeking US$4.495 million adds further financial pressure. This filing materially changes the risk profile for investors.
