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.

The filing says the first sale was Oct 20, 2011. The Form D was filed Nov 7, 2011 — 18 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 3 days past that.
