Regarding the reporting of the company's financial statements, something very significant was mentioned in the same press release. It was hidden at the end. ALTR said that it had provided the SEC a letter of intention to correct its reporting deficiencies by January 26, 2018.We believe that the market should have appreciated the remark. We do as well because once the company uploads its most recent financial statements, more market participants will be willing to analyze the company. Thus, demand for the stock could increase. We believe that the share price increase could be justified partially by this news.Financials and Share StatisticsAs we believe that the company is becoming a followed profile, we believe that having a close look at the financials provided will interest our readers. Even if they are outdated, they will help understand the company's financial situation. The following are the most significant assets and liabilities:

• Cash and Cash Equivalents: $58,000
• Other Current Assets: $6,000
• Short Term and Current Long Term Debt: $11.2 million

What's our take?We believe that the company may need to raise capital in the near future, which may create some shareholder dilution. But, if the company continues to grow and innovate, it will definitely offset the dilution.Additionally, if the company continues to be popular in the market and keeps positive announcements coming, the share price could be off and running.Furthermore, we had a look at the share structure statistics. Have a look and form your own opinion:Authorized Shares500,000,000a/o Feb 10, 2015Outstanding Shares242,777,909a/o Feb 10, 2015-RestrictedNot Available-UnrestrictedNot AvailableHeld at DTCNot AvailableFloat154,306,740a/o Feb 10, 2015Par Value0.001SourceWhat did you see?The interesting thing is that the float, the amount of shares owned by the public, is very low. This means that the stock price volatility is expected to be high, as large market orders will affect the share price significantly. We highlight this fact, as many market participants appreciate low float stocks.ConclusionCurrently trading with a market cap of $13 million, ALRT surprised the market again. It is the second time in October that the company has delivered great news making the share price jump. We said that the name should be followed and we were not wrong in saying so.We believe that there are many catalysts that could make the stock price jump again.
