The short version

Miles Maiden is listed as an executive officer and director on 3 SEC Form D filings by 1 issuer between Dec 2009 and Apr 2016: Hydro-Photon Inc (Blue Hill, ME — other technology — 2009–2016; $3.55M reported sold to 12 investors).

What this means One deal on file with the SEC. A Form D is the notice a company files after it starts selling a private investment — it is a notice, not an approval.

Listed alongside Gary Loft (3 shared filings), James Kannry (3 shared filings), Neil MacKay (2 shared filings), Nick Wood (2 shared filings), Brad Rendle (1 shared filing) and 5 others.

What this means These are the other officers, directors or promoters the companies named on the same forms — the team around Miles. 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 SEC release, 2 state regulator orders listed in Key records below.

What this means 3 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 Miles Maiden and found 6 differences, 2 worth asking the sponsor about: ME securities regulator consent agreement naming a team member (May 17, 2005); Form D filed 377 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

6 differences found between the filings for Miles Maiden — 2 worth asking about (compared 3 filings on Oct 24, 2026)

Worth asking · May 17, 2005

ME securities regulator consent agreement naming a team member (May 17, 2005)

Maine Office of Securities (Department of Professional and Financial Regulation) issued a Consent Agreement dated May 17, 2005. Respondents as listed: Fuller, Jones & Stivers LLP, Judith A. Fuller and Rendle A. Jones. Matched to Brad Rendle (listed on the same filings). Our match estimate: 70%.

What this means A state regulator issued an order (cease-and-desist, consent order, fine or bar). Read the order; ask the sponsor what it covered.

Sources
Worth asking · Nov 26, 2008 – Dec 8, 2009

Form D filed 377 days after the first sale — Hydro-Photon Inc

The filing says the first sale was Nov 26, 2008. The Form D was filed Dec 8, 2009 — 377 days later. The rule: a Form D is generally due within 15 days after the first sale, so this one is 362 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 3, 2015 – Apr 8, 2016

No amendment in the last 12 months on an offering that may still be open — Hydro-Photon Inc (latest filing Apr 8, 2016)

The latest filing for this offering is dated Apr 8, 2016 (first sale Apr 3, 2015). It reports $3,550,000 sold of $4,000,000 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.

The latest filing for this offering is dated Dec 8, 2009 (first sale Nov 26, 2008). It reports $1,970,000 sold of $2,000,000 offered. No later amendment is in our index as of Oct 24, 2026.

Note · Dec 8, 2009 – Apr 15, 2015

Miles Maiden is written 2 different ways on the filings

listed as "Miles M. Maiden" on the Dec 8, 2009 filing, and "Miles Maiden" on 2 filings (from Apr 15, 2015).

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.

Sources
Note · Dec 8, 2009 – Apr 15, 2015

Industry group changed between filings — Hydro-Photon Inc

"Manufacturing" (Dec 8, 2009); then "Other Technology" (Apr 15, 2015 to Apr 8, 2016).

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
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

None reported on 2 offerings — no sales commissions, finder's fees or proceeds to insiders

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 1 issuer 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.

Property records none — individuals are not matched

Property records are matched to companies only, never to individuals, so none are matched to Miles Maiden by design.
