All You Need To Know About INKW’s Recent Earnings: Practical Insights, Real Cases, Expert Views

Summary: If you've been wondering whether Greene Concepts Inc. (INKW) has put out their latest earnings report, and what the numbers mean (or, as is quietly whispered in some stock groups, why you can’t always find updates), you’re in the right place. This hands-on guide walks through checking INKW’s latest filings, untangling the key highlights, and compares how verified corporate data gets treated in the US versus other countries. There's also a story from a friend who chased down a “late” INKW filing on OTCMarkets, plus some analyst back-and-forth to keep things honest.

How To Check If INKW Has Released Its Latest Earnings Report

Let’s cut to the chase: INKW (Greene Concepts Inc.), being an OTC-traded company, doesn’t always put out shiny investor reports like Apple or Microsoft would every quarter. Many of us (I included!) have randomly browsed OTC Markets’ official INKW disclosure page instead of the SEC’s EDGAR, just out of habit — and sometimes got a shock when there’s... nothing new.

  1. Step 1: Start at OTC Markets
    I always head here: otcmarkets.com/stock/INKW/disclosure.
    The filings are listed by date. For this article, as of June 20, 2024, the most recent INKW annual disclosure is from May 15, 2024. Here’s a real screenshot I took (sorry, no pretty graphs):
    INKW Disclosures Page If you see no recent quarterly/annual "Disclosure Statement," it means no fresh earnings in this window.
  2. Step 2: Double-check With SEC EDGAR—for completeness
    As an OTC Pink company, INKW isn’t required to submit regular 10-Q/10-K reports. You’ll rarely find quarterly SEC filings.
    See for yourself: sec.gov/edgar/search/#/q=INKW.
  3. Step 3: Compare with Press Releases (Don’t Skip!)
    Not everything gets “filed”—sometimes management just issues a press release. Latest ones can also be found linked on Yahoo! Finance: finance.yahoo.com/quote/INKW/press-releases/. As of today, there are marketing partnership updates, but little in the way of hard numbers.

I once spent half an hour refreshing all three sites — even texted a pal in the US to see if maybe INKW had issued a “secret” Facebook update company news. Turns out the last major financials are always going to be those Disclosure Statements on OTC Markets, like the one below:

Dissecting INKW's Latest Financial Report: Key Highlights and Concerns

Cracking open that disclosure, frankly, is like reading a high school accounting project (no offense!) compared to the big SEC stuff. But it’s still real, verified, and legally matters. Here’s what I found, after poring over the actual full PDF from OTC Markets (direct link):

Revenue and Operations Snapshot

  • Revenue continues to be minimal. According to p. 24: for the year ended Feb 29, 2024, total revenue was $146,446. That’s up a little from the prior year.
  • Net Loss increased due to growing expenses—mostly related to product distribution and partnerships. The net loss for the period was around $953,122 (see p. 25).
  • Cash Position: Still running lean—less than $20,000 cash on hand (p. 27), meaning funding future growth will remain tricky for management, unless more capital is raised or sales spike.

Key Risks and Ongoing Concerns

  • Heavy dependence on a few revenue streams (mainly “Be Water” product lines).
  • Unclear path to profitability—operating/administrative costs are outpacing growth.
  • No formal SEC review—though statements are certified true and complete by management.

As someone who likes risky microcaps (bad habit, I know), I noticed in investor chats (see: this InvestorsHub forum post) users repeatedly ask about “uptick in sales” and whether Q2 might surprise. Most, like me, are cautious bordering on weary.

Why Reporting “Verification” Differs Across Countries: A Mini Global Map

Seeing how INKW’s numbers are just “management certified” got me thinking (and ranting) on a phone call with an old friend who works at a Japanese trading firm. Turns out, what counts as “verified trade” or “certified earnings” is radically different worldwide! Here’s a simplified comparison table I built after digging into WTO, WCO, and EU documentation, plus poking the US USTR portal (and a minor panic when I read pages of legalese):

Country Standard Name Legal Basis Official Agency Typical Use In Microcap
USA SEC/OTC Disclosure, Reg A+ Securities Exchange Act 1934, OTC Markets Rules SEC, OTC Markets Management certified, rarely audited
EU IFRS Reporting, ESMA Guidelines EU Prospectus Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 ESMA, local exchanges Audited, must reconcile with IFRS
Japan J-SOX, FSA Disclosures Financial Instruments and Exchange Act FSA, Tokyo Stock Exchange Audit plus strict internal controls
China CSRC Filing; “Blue-Chip Supervisory Statement” Securities Law of PRC (2019) CSRC, China Exchanges Audit by designated CPA mandated

That’s a lot of governance to say: US OTC disclosures (like INKW’s) aren't forced to be audited. Compare that to the EU, where most financials—especially for public companies—must line up with strict IFRS standards and get an outside audit stamp.

Case Study: When “Verified” Gets Messy — A Mock A/B Country Dispute

This wasn’t with INKW, but it makes you appreciate how tough “cross-border compliance” gets. Imagine:

Country A (let’s say, US) accepts OTC Pink reporting, so a microcap’s annual report with “CEO certification” is fine. Country B (say, Germany) demands IFRS reconciled, audited statements before local investors can legally buy in. A US stock like INKW wants to market to German retail. Suddenly, regulators from both sides clash: is Country A’s “certified” report enough, or must the firm upgrade to IFRS and full audit?

It’s such a headache that, according to the WTO’s 2019 Aid for Trade report (see p.153), these conflicting national standards can block cross-listings and chill foreign investment.

Industry expert Helen Burton, FCA advisor (fictional, but based on real interviews from AccountancyAge) put it bluntly in a webinar last year:

“Hundreds of microcap and OTC companies are at a crossroads: US rules let you self-certify, but if you try to raise European capital, the bar is much higher. It’s not just about numbers—it’s about trust. I’ve seen deals fall apart just because documentation wasn’t up to EU standards, even when real sales growth was robust.”

Personal Experience: The Frustration (and Reality) of US Microcap Reporting

On a lazy Sunday, I sat down to “do my own due diligence”—which often means, yes, downloading yet another PDF that looks like a college group project. At first, I thought I’d made a mistake: surely this couldn’t be the official disclosure? But sure enough, that’s what OTC allows—signed by the CEO, not an outside auditor.

After muttering to myself (“This would never fly in Frankfurt or Shanghai...”), I jumped on a stock forum and found the same complaints. Turns out, for US OTC stocks, it’s not about misleading anyone — it’s about cost and regulatory flexibility. The idea is, for small companies, audits are expensive, and the tradeoff is less stringent oversight to lower barriers for early stage businesses. Fair, but as an investor, it’s honestly a “buyer beware” world.

Once, I almost missed a big write-down in a microcap because it was buried in a footnote — totally legal under OTC rules.

Conclusion: What To Do If You’re Tracking INKW — Or Any Microcap

INKW last issued its formal earnings/annual disclosure on May 15, 2024 (covering up to February 29, 2024), per the official OTC Markets page. The numbers show mild revenue growth but ongoing losses and razor-thin cash. Be aware: these numbers, while “certified,” aren’t independently audited—common for OTC stocks in the US, and nearly impossible in more tightly-regulated markets like the EU or Japan.

If you want more security, wait for an eventual uplist and audited filings; if you’re comfortable with a higher gamble for possible returns, “management certified” may be enough for now—just recognize the limits.

Next step? Always check the OTC Markets disclosures first, set an alert for news, and—my personal tip—read investor forum discussions for buried red flags and bullish “hopes.” And never, ever, assume that because an earnings date passes without news, “no news is good news.” Sometimes, it’s just no news.

Tip: For companies like INKW, the Disclosure Statement on OTC Markets is your gold standard. For international investors, remember to compare the verification requirements closely before jumping in—what’s “official” in the US might be insufficient under EU or Asian standards. For more on global standards, see the WTO’s Trade Facilitation Agreement and OECD Principles of Corporate Governance.
