Going-concern doubt
— cleared Aug 14, 2026
The latest filing states the doubt was alleviated.
“Given the negative working capital and insufficient expected operating cash flow there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that its plans, and support from the existing related-party stockholders discussed above, is probable and has alleviated the substantial doubt regarding Empire's ability to continue as a going concern.”View the 10-Q filed Aug 14, 2026
