The short version

James A. Barnes is listed as an executive officer and director on 10 SEC Form D filings by 3 issuers between Sep 2010 and Jan 2019: WRAP TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (Miami, FL — industry reported as "Other" — 2017–2019; $13.7M reported sold to 115 investors), TATYANA DESIGNS, INC. (Henderson, NV — retailing — 2010–2012; $3.22M reported sold to 10 investors) and Parametric Sound Corp (Poway, CA — other technology — 2010–2013; $1M reported sold to 10 investors).

What this means A repeat sponsor — 3 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 9 years. Across those companies the filings report $17.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Elwood G. Norris (10 shared filings), Scot Cohen (4 shared filings), David Norris (3 shared filings), Michael Parris (3 shared filings), Dwaine Barnes (2 shared filings) and 12 others.

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

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FINRA, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY) — 1 court case matching the name, 26 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 27 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 10 public filings for James A. Barnes and found 17 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Jannsen Partners, Inc; Form D filed 78 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.

The filing says the first sale was Oct 30, 2018. The Form D was filed Jan 16, 2019 — 78 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 63 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.

Form D filed 16 days after the first sale — Parametric Sound Corp

The filing says the first sale was Aug 5, 2013. The Form D was filed Aug 21, 2013 — 16 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 1 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.

Note · Feb 22, 2011 – Feb 23, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Parametric Sound Corp (latest filing Feb 23, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 23, 2011 (first sale Feb 22, 2011). It reports $1,000,000 sold of an indefinite amount offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

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.

James A. Barnes's role changed at WRAP TECHNOLOGIES, INC.: executive officer, director → executive officer

The Nov 8, 2018 filing lists James A. Barnes as executive officer, director; the Jan 16, 2019 Form D lists executive officer.

What this means Roles on Form D are self-reported by the issuer. A change can mean a real change in who runs the company, or just a different box ticked. Ask who makes decisions today.

Note · Sep 30, 2010 – Oct 12, 2010

James A. Barnes is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "James A Barnes" on 6 filings (from Sep 30, 2010), and "James Barnes" on 4 filings (from Oct 12, 2010).

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.

"Decline to Disclose" (Jul 26, 2017); then "No Revenues" (Nov 8, 2018).

Same name, different state: "James Barnes" (X0) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is NV or CA. A separate record, "James Barnes" with address state X0, is listed on 1 filing — most recently by EnteroBiotix LTD (Jul 25, 2025). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Sep 30, 2010 to Nov 8, 2018; the other has one filing dated Jul 25, 2025.

What this means Could be the same person who moved, or two people with the same name. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

Address moved from Henderson, NV to Poway, CA — Parametric Sound Corp

The people listed on the Jul 8, 2011 filing give Henderson, NV; on the Aug 21, 2013 filing they give Poway, 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.

Note · Sep 30, 2010 – Jan 17, 2019

James A. Barnes is listed with 2 different address states: NV, CA

NV on 9 filings (Sep 30, 2010 to Jan 17, 2019); CA on 1 filing (Aug 21, 2013).

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

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.

How this is counted

Counts come from Form D Items 12–15 on the filings in our index (latest filing per offering; one offering = one SEC file number; an amendment updates its offering rather than adding one). "To insiders" = gross proceeds used for payments to executive officers, directors or promoters. "—" = not reported on that filing. Amounts marked (est.) were reported as estimates. "Paid to sell it" = sales compensation recipients named on that filing (Item 12), each linked to FINRA BrokerCheck when a CRD number is reported.

Counted across every filing this person is listed on (latest filing per offering, per issuer).

Registrations and other filings

Business registration (state registry / Secretary of State)

Individuals are not matched to business registrations — registries list companies, and a name alone is not enough to tie a person to one. Officers and managers appear by name inside each matched company's record on the issuer pages. Registries searched: AL (Alabama Secretary of State — Business Entity Records (arc-sos.state.al.us), searched by issuer name, data as of Oct 24, 2026); CO (Colorado Secretary of State — Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), data as of Oct 23, 2026); CT (Connecticut Secretary of the State — Business Registry (data.ct.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026); FL (Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations — quarterly corporate data file (Sunbiz), data as of Oct 7, 2026); NY (New York Department of State — Corporations and Other Entities (data.ny.gov: All Filings + Active Corporations), data as of Oct 20, 2026); OR (Oregon Secretary of State — Active Businesses, All (data.oregon.gov), data as of Oct 20, 2026); PA (Pennsylvania Department of State — Registered Businesses, Current (data.pa.gov), data as of Oct 6, 2026); TX (Texas Comptroller — Active Franchise Taxpayers incl. Secretary of State file data (data.texas.gov), data as of Oct 24, 2026). Registries of other states have not been searched: many publish no bulk file and require a CAPTCHA or bot challenge on their search page, which we do not bypass (Delaware, for example, offers no public bulk file).

Adviser registration (Form ADV)

None of the 3 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 James A. Barnes by design. Searched property records in Hillsborough County FL (Clerk recorded-document index Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 15, 2026 + FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Miami-Dade County FL (FL DOR 2026 ownership roll), Harris County TX (HCAD 2026 ownership roll), Dallas County TX (DCAD 2026 ownership roll), New York City ACRIS documents and PLUTO ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers, Cook County IL sale and ownership rows already retrieved for other issuers (814,874 records as of Oct 23, 2026, 8:59 PM ET) for the 3 issuers this person is listed on — nothing matched.
