The short version

Edward L Bernstein is listed as an executive officer and director on 7 SEC Form D filings by 4 issuers between Aug 2011 and Oct 2020: Halla, Inc. (Burbank, CA — other technology — 2020; $4.51M reported sold to 35 investors), Propell Technologies Group, Inc. (Houston, TX — oil and gas — 2011; $526K reported sold to 7 investors), Andalay Solar, Inc. (San Jose, CA — other energy — 2013–2014; $250K reported sold to 1 investors) and acdGO Software Ltd. (Greenbrae, CA — other technology — 2015; $66K reported sold to 42 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 4 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 9 years. Across those companies the filings report $5.36M sold in total.

Listed alongside Mark Kalow (5 shared filings), Edward Roffman (4 shared filings), Margaret Randazzo (4 shared filings), Ron Kenedi (4 shared filings), Charles S. Boulas (1 shared filing) and 9 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Edward. Each name links to their own page.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 7 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 7 records came back. Each one is listed below with a link to the original document and a line saying why it matched. A name match is not proof it is the same person or company — read the why line and the document. Being sued or named in a release is an accusation, not a finding.

We compared 7 public filings for Edward L Bernstein and found 7 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 245 days after the first sale; Form D filed 72 days after the first sale; and more below.

What this means These are differences between the sponsor's own SEC filings — both values, dates and sources are listed in Key records, section 4. Most have ordinary explanations; ask the sponsor.

4. Differences between public sources

Comparisons cover issuers and sponsor groups — see the issuer pages under Deals

7 differences found between the filings for Edward L Bernstein — 2 worth asking about (compared 7 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Feb 24, 2020 – Oct 26, 2020

Form D filed 245 days after the first sale — Halla, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Feb 24, 2020. The Form D was filed Oct 26, 2020 — 245 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 230 days past that.

What this means The notice went in months after money was taken in. Late notices are common and carry no penalty by themselves, but it is fair to ask the sponsor why the paperwork lagged.

Sources
Worth asking · May 26, 2015 – Aug 6, 2015

Form D filed 72 days after the first sale — acdGO Software Ltd.

The filing says the first sale was May 26, 2015. The Form D was filed Aug 6, 2015 — 72 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 57 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.

Sources
Note · Dec 19, 2013 – Jan 9, 2014

Form D filed 21 days after the first sale — Andalay Solar, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Dec 19, 2013. The Form D was filed Jan 9, 2014 — 21 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 6 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.

Sources
Note · Nov 25, 2013 – Aug 6, 2015

4 offerings have no amendment in the last 12 months and may still be open

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — acdGO Software Ltd. (latest filing Aug 6, 2015) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Andalay Solar, Inc. (latest filing Mar 10, 2014) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Andalay Solar, Inc. (latest filing Jan 9, 2014) · No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Andalay Solar, Inc. (latest filing Dec 6, 2013)

What this means SEC rules expect a yearly amendment while an offering is still going. Ask the sponsor which of these raises have closed.

Sources
Note · Aug 15, 2011 – Sep 13, 2013

Edward L Bernstein is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Edward Bernstein" on 3 filings (from Aug 15, 2011), and "Edward L Bernstein" on 4 filings (from Sep 13, 2013).

What this means Same person, written differently — a middle name or suffix left off, or spelled another way. It is normal, but check that the full legal name matches your subscription documents.

Sources
Note · Dec 6, 2013 – Jan 9, 2014

Address moved from Campbell, CA to San Jose, CA — Andalay Solar, Inc.

The people listed on the Dec 6, 2013 filing give Campbell, CA; on the Jan 9, 2014 filing they give San Jose, CA.

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.

Sources
Note · Oct 26, 2020

Formed in 2021 per the latest filing, but activity is dated 2020 — Halla, Inc.

The issuer's latest filing says it was formed in 2021. The Oct 26, 2020 filing says the first sale was Feb 24, 2020 — before that year.

What this means A company cannot sell before it exists, so one of the two dates is likely a typo on the form. Ask the sponsor for the formation document.

Sources
What is compared

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.

"Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

The team behind the deals

Same business address

3 other issuers file from the same address

A shared address can mean the same team, a shared office building or a registered agent. It is a lead, not a conclusion.

Registrations and other filings

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 4 issuers this person is listed on appears in Form ADV (searched 24,962 advisers as of Oct 2, 2026). A person is never an adviser firm; Form ADV is checked for the issuers and the management companies they are listed with.

Other offering types (Regulation A and Regulation Crowdfunding)

Searched SEC Regulation A Data Sets (Forms 1-A, 1-K, 1-Z; 2015 Q2 → 2026 Q3); SEC Crowdfunding Offerings Data Sets (Form C family; 2016 Q2 → 2026 Q3); EDGAR form index for 2026 Q3 → 2026 Q4 (51,358 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:41 PM ET) — nothing matched this name.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Edward L Bernstein by design.
