The short version

John Spertus is listed as an executive officer and director on 4 SEC Form D filings by 2 issuers between Feb 2011 and Jun 2019: Health Outcomes Sciences, Inc. (Phoenix, AZ — industry reported as "Other" — 2014–2019; $12.8M reported sold to 20 investors) and Health Outcomes Sciences, LLC (Los Angeles, CA — other health care — 2011; $3M reported sold to 11 investors).

What this means 2 separate companies raised money with this person listed as executive officer and director, over about 8 years. Across those companies the filings report $15.7M sold in total.

Listed alongside Brian Burns (3 shared filings), James W. Spertus (3 shared filings), Michael Fiorito (2 shared filings), Ralph Brindis (2 shared filings), Charles McKay (1 shared filing) and 8 others.

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

All 2 issuers belong to the sponsor group Health Outcomes Sciences (2 issuers, $4M reported sold, 2011–2019).

What this means A sponsor group is one team that sets up a new company for each deal. Health Outcomes Sciences has 2 companies on file and $4M reported sold in total — the group page shows the whole track record in one place.

Public records searched: federal courts (CourtListener / RECAP), SEC enforcement releases, state securities regulators (AR, AZ, CA, CT, DE, FINRA, GA, HI, ID, LA, ME, MO, MS, MT, NASAA, NC, NH, NM, OR, RI, TX, WA) — 1 court case matching the name, 1 bankruptcy case matching the name listed in Key records below.

What this means 2 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 John Spertus and found 9 differences, 1 worth asking the sponsor about: Form D filed 384 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

9 differences found between the filings for John Spertus — 1 worth asking about (compared 4 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Note · Jun 12, 2025

Bankruptcy case: Casey v. Spertus Landes & Josephs LLP — filed Jun 12, 2025

United States Bankruptcy Court, C.D. California docket "Casey v. Spertus Landes & Josephs LLP" filed Jun 12, 2025 (Open). John Spertus is listed as Defendant ("Spertus Landes & Josephs LLP"). Our match estimate: 70%.

What this means A bankruptcy filing was found. Many are old or personal and have nothing to do with the deal — but ask what it was and when it closed.

Sources
Worth asking · Jan 29, 2010 – Feb 17, 2011

Form D filed 384 days after the first sale — Health Outcomes Sciences, LLC

The filing says the first sale was Jan 29, 2010. The Form D was filed Feb 17, 2011 — 384 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 369 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
Note · Apr 30, 2019 – Jun 10, 2019

Form D filed 41 days after the first sale — Health Outcomes Sciences, Inc.

The filing says the first sale was Apr 30, 2019. The Form D was filed Jun 10, 2019 — 41 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 26 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 · Jun 14, 2017 – Jun 29, 2017

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Health Outcomes Sciences, Inc. (latest filing Jun 29, 2017)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Jun 29, 2017 (first sale Jun 14, 2017). It reports $1,885,865 sold of $2,500,000 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 · Jan 29, 2010 – Feb 17, 2011

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Health Outcomes Sciences, LLC (latest filing Feb 17, 2011)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Feb 17, 2011 (first sale Jan 29, 2010). It reports $2,998,632 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.

Sources
Note · Mar 12, 2014 – Jun 29, 2017

John Spertus's role changed at Health Outcomes Sciences, Inc.: executive officer, director → director

The Mar 12, 2014 filing lists John Spertus as executive officer, director; the Jun 29, 2017 Form D lists director.

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.

Sources
Note · Mar 12, 2014 – Jun 29, 2017

Industry group changed between filings — Health Outcomes Sciences, Inc.

"Telecommunications" (Mar 12, 2014); then "Other" (Jun 29, 2017 to Jun 10, 2019).

What this means The issuer described its business differently on different forms. Often it is just a different box ticked; sometimes the deal itself changed. Ask which business your money is in.

Sources
Note · Jun 29, 2017 – Jun 10, 2019

Address moved from Overland Park, KS to Phoenix, AZ — Health Outcomes Sciences, Inc.

The people listed on the Jun 29, 2017 filing give Overland Park, KS; on the Jun 10, 2019 filing they give Phoenix, AZ.

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 · Feb 17, 2011 – Jun 10, 2019

John Spertus is listed with 3 different address states: MO, KS, AZ

MO on 1 filing (Feb 17, 2011); KS on 2 filings (Mar 12, 2014 to Jun 29, 2017); AZ on 1 filing (Jun 10, 2019).

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.

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.
