The Apr 19, 2024 filing lists Dawson James Securities, Inc. with CRD 130645; the Jul 29, 2022 Form D lists the same name with no CRD number.
What this means A CRD number is how you look a seller up on FINRA BrokerCheck. Missing it on a later form is usually a paperwork slip — use the number from the earlier form to check them.
The filing says the first sale was Feb 1, 2016. The Form D was filed Mar 17, 2016 — 45 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 30 days past that.
What this means A late notice is common and carries no penalty by itself. It is worth asking the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.
The filing says the first sale was Jun 13, 2014. The Form D was filed Jul 9, 2014 — 26 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 11 days past that.

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. The raise may simply have ended — a Form D does not say when it closed. Ask the sponsor whether the offering closed, when, and at what amount.
The latest filing for this offering is dated Nov 19, 2014 (first sale Jun 13, 2014). It reports $1,250,000 sold of $2,000,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

What this means The target raise changed. Raising the cap is common when a deal grows; ask whether the extra money has the same terms and use.
"Decline to Disclose" (May 25, 2022); then "$5,000,001 - $25,000,000" (Apr 19, 2024).
What this means This is the size band the issuer picks for itself on the form. A change can mean the business grew or shrank — or that it chose not to say. Ask for current numbers.

What this means Businesses move; this just shows the two places and dates. If you were told one city and the forms say another, ask which is current.
NC on 4 filings (Nov 7, 2012 to Aug 13, 2025); NY on 7 filings (Jul 9, 2014 to Jul 29, 2022).
What this means The address on a Form D is usually the company's, not the person's home, so this often just reflects different companies. It can also mean a move. Nothing wrong by itself.
What is compared: every Form D and D/A we hold for this subject, side by side — filing dates vs. first-sale dates (the 15-day rule), amendment timing on open offerings (the yearly-amendment expectation), amounts sold, investor counts, offering amounts and minimums across amendments, industry and size bands, addresses, how each person's name and role is written, paid sellers' CRD numbers, and (for groups) where the member companies were formed and sit. Everything is as filed by the issuer; the SEC does not check it. Differences are common and usually have ordinary explanations — we show both values, the dates, and the source so you can ask. As of Oct 24, 2026.
