The short version

James Lyons is listed as a director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Mar 2009 and Aug 2012: Encell Technology, Inc. (Charlottesville, VA — other energy — 2012; $7.06M reported sold to 17 investors) and Nordic Windpower Ltd. (London, United Kingdom (as filed: X0) — other energy — 2009; $3.84M reported sold to 25 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as director, over about 3 years. Across those companies the filings report $10.9M sold in total.

Listed alongside Alan Seizdel (2 shared filings), Charles Gamble (2 shared filings), Christopher Maier (2 shared filings), Eric Hedlund (2 shared filings), George H. Kastendike (2 shared filings) and 13 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 (AZ, CA, DE, TX, WA) — 5 bankruptcy cases matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 5 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 4 public filings for James Lyons and found 10 differences, 4 worth asking the sponsor about: Amount sold went down between filings; Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Turquoise International Limited; 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

10 differences found between the filings for James Lyons — 4 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Mar 30, 2009 – Nov 16, 2009

Amount sold went down between filings — Nordic Windpower Ltd.

The Mar 30, 2009 filing says $3,839,701 sold; the Nov 16, 2009 Form D/A says $3,745,905 sold — $93,796 less.

What this means Amounts sold normally only go up as a raise continues. A drop can mean investors were refunded, a figure was corrected, or an earlier number was wrong. Ask the sponsor which it was.

Sources
Worth asking · Mar 30, 2009 – Nov 16, 2009

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Turquoise International Limited — Nordic Windpower Ltd.

Turquoise International Limited is listed as receiving sales compensation on 2 filings (Mar 30, 2009 to Nov 16, 2009) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Worth asking · Mar 30, 2009 – Nov 16, 2009

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Pulsar Energy Capital LLP — Nordic Windpower Ltd.

Pulsar Energy Capital LLP is listed as receiving sales compensation on 2 filings (Mar 30, 2009 to Nov 16, 2009) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Worth asking · Nov 16, 2009

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: Mandhir Singh — Nordic Windpower Ltd.

Mandhir Singh is listed as receiving sales compensation on 1 filing (Nov 16, 2009) with no FINRA CRD number given.

What this means People paid to sell securities normally hold a FINRA registration with a CRD number. Without one we cannot look them up on BrokerCheck. Ask who they are and whether they are registered.

Sources
Note · Mar 13, 2009 – Mar 30, 2009

Form D filed 17 days after the first sale — Nordic Windpower Ltd.

The filing says the first sale was Mar 13, 2009. The Form D was filed Mar 30, 2009 — 17 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 2 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 · Jul 20, 2012 – Aug 6, 2012

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Encell Technology, Inc. (latest filing Aug 6, 2012)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 6, 2012 (first sale Jul 20, 2012). It reports $7,060,588 sold of $18,360,600 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.

Note · Mar 13, 2009 – Nov 16, 2009

Same name, different state: "James Lyons" (CA) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is VA. A separate record, "James Lyons" with address state CA, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by Growing Energy Labs, Inc. (Apr 13, 2018). The two records do not overlap in time: this page runs Mar 30, 2009 to Aug 6, 2012; the other runs Dec 31, 2015 to Apr 13, 2018.

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.

This page covers filings where the address state is VA. A separate record, "James Lyons" with address state CO, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by Boulder Wind Power, Inc. (Sep 27, 2011). Both records have filings in the same period (Sep 27, 2011).

What this means Two records with one name were active at the same time. That can be one person listing different company addresses, or two different people. We keep them apart until a filing ties them together. Check both pages before you decide.

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.

5. Money to insiders

1 of 2 offerings reports sales commissions totalling $360,000; 1 reports finder's fees totalling $52,500; 1 reports proceeds to related persons totalling $365,000. (includes amounts the issuer reported as estimates)

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).
