What this means 13 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 3 public filings for James Brewer and found 6 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Paid seller listed without a CRD number: James Brewer; 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

6 differences found between the filings for James Brewer — 1 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · Aug 7, 2013 – Mar 3, 2014

Paid seller listed without a CRD number: James Brewer — CorTechs Labs, Inc.

James Brewer is listed as receiving sales compensation on 2 filings (Aug 7, 2013 to Mar 3, 2014) 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 · Feb 19, 2014 – Mar 3, 2014

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — CorTechs Labs, Inc. (latest filing Mar 3, 2014)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Mar 3, 2014 (first sale Feb 19, 2014). It reports $1,213,600 sold of $1,263,600 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 · Jul 26, 2013 – Aug 7, 2013

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — CorTechs Labs, Inc. (latest filing Aug 7, 2013)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Aug 7, 2013 (first sale Jul 26, 2013). It reports $1,974,302 sold of $2,039,795 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.

The latest filing for this offering is dated May 18, 2009 (first sale May 6, 2009). It reports $31,000 sold of $1,000,000 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.

Sources
Note · May 11, 2009 – Jul 12, 2010

Same name, different state: "James Brewer" (IL) is a separate record

This page covers filings where the address state is CA. A separate record, "James Brewer" with address state IL, is listed on 3 filings — most recently by PEERLESS NETWORK INC. (Jul 12, 2010). Both records have filings in the same period (May 18, 2009 to Jul 12, 2010).

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.

Sources
Note · Aug 7, 2013 – Mar 3, 2014

Address moved from La Jolla, CA to San Diego, CA — CorTechs Labs, Inc.

The people listed on the Aug 7, 2013 filing give La Jolla, CA; on the Mar 3, 2014 filing they give San Diego, 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.

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).
