Current Tier - OTC Pink Current
Company Profile - Verified
The Company is on the Alternate Reporting Standard with requirements as shown here:
https://www.otcmarkets.com/files/15c2-11%20Tier%20Chart.pdf
Share Structure - Updated March 25, 2024
Transfer Agent Verified Profile - updated at least monthly.
No change - no dilution February 11 to March 25 - total 44 days.
Authorized Shares: 5,000,000,000 [same as in January 2020]
Outstanding Shares: 2,953,609,801
Restricted: 237,001,359
Unrestricted: 2,716,608,442
Note1: It is only the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count that is relevant to immediate trading. This is relatively low at 2.7B for a stock in the .0003 > .25 price range. Some other OTC tickers are adding 10 Billion to 50 Billion on each update.
Note 2: There was no change to the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares November 2, 2022 > December 14, 2023 - total 408 days.
Note 3: An insignificant 112M was added to the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares November 27 > December 14. For context, 216M shares were traded during this period - 193% of the increase.
Note 4: An insignificant 183M was added to the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares December 15 > January 2. For context, 310M shares were traded during this period - 169% of the increase. Also, 145M were traded on December 22 alone - 79% of the increase.

Self-evidently, with the O/S representing only 59% of the A/S - and only 695M shares added to the Unrestricted O/S during the over 15-month life of the current company - there is no need or intention to do one.

With a SIC change to "patent owners and lessors", upgrade to OTC Pink Current and the company now clear to proceed with its business plans after the change of control process was completed on October 26, 2023, we should see significant additional buying over the weeks and months ahead throughout 2024.
Multiple surges are anticipated as announcements on the new business plan start to flow - which may also include a name change and a ticker change.
Expect a dramatic move up anytime we get sufficiently large buys set across several successive asks - as happened on November 15 and November 18, 2022 and October 19, 2023.
Only long-term holders (over 12 months) who believe the company will go back to .01 > .02 range have any shares with a cost basis over .0029 now. Others may have sold needlessly for a loss late-2022 - reducing still further the shares likely to be offered on the ask.
As with all my long-term top picks, knowing who got what where - relative to you by process of elimination - is important when deciding the ratio of shares to keep long-term vs locking in partial profits at peaks in the .01 > .02+ range - as is patience - this is a long-term play throughout 2024 and future years.
Performance and Outlook
$SFLM will remain the joint #1 Top Profit Pick on my Watch List throughout 2024 for self-evident reasons in this Overview.
Performance in each year 2020 > 2023 has shown that it pays to be ready at all times for surges with tradeable lots from multiple price points - not just trying to get the cheapest of the year and stretch them.
Continued large profit trading opportunities are anticipated ahead throughout 2024 and future years for those who maintain a large inventory of shares at a variety of price points . Having plenty of shares - you don't need the cheapest - avoids the need to chase every time it runs.
With some OTC tickers now adding 10 Billion - even 50 Billion - shares per update, $SFLM remains one of the thinnest sub .02 tickers in the OTC with an immediately tradeable Unrestricted Outstanding shares count of only 2.71 Billion.
Cancel any left over ask sell orders at close to get the maximum gap up at each open.
Expect .02+ at some point ahead in 2024 or later years and watch out for the following catalysts:
- Momentum move up after long-term watchers managed to buy at bottom prices from impatient tax loss sellers during December and bought out the .0004 ask on January 18.and January 19 on volumes of 77.5M and 175.2M and bought out the walked down ask at .0002 on March 26 on 49M volume.
- Updates on the "impressive deal flow of prospects that could be acquired or technology that could be licensed by SFLM” [source: PR November 15, 2022]
- Updates on the lithium mining initiative for batteries.
- Updates on acquisitions, patents and licensing.
- Possible name change.
- Possible ticker change.
OTC Market Traders Interested / Following
As at March 31, 113 x OTC market traders - up 17 recently since the Annual Report was filed early + .0002s got bought out in minutes - have got $SFLM on their Watch List, commented on it or liked posts about it - since November 27.
The Top 5 traders on $SFLM have 22.6K, 13.6K, 9.5K, 9.2K and 8.8K followers.
Speculation - Deep Power, Inc
There is plenty of anecdotal evidence - and there has been a lot of speculative discussion by OTC market top traders of $SFLM recently - that Deep Power, Inc may either be a likely candidate for a reverse merger with $SFLM to go public or - more likely now - be one of the first acquisition / patent licensing deals if $SFLM is to be a portfolio holding company.
In addition, the 2023 Q2 Report highlighted that the Deep Power, Inc CEO - AKA Real Transition Capital, LLC - had entered into a long-term relationship with $SFLM as follows:
"Note 8 – Convertible Note
In June 2023, the Company obtained a loan from Real Transition Capital, LLC which netted our company $2,500 in proceeds. In consideration of such loan, we issued a $10,000 face amount convertible promissory note (the “RTC Note”), with OID of $7,500, with principal and interest payable in June 2024. The Company has the right to repay the RTC Note at any time, without penalty. The RTC Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $.0001 per share."
SEC Action Against Actions Of Previous CEO - Matter Now Closed
The SEC had been investigating the old company under the previous CEO for selling unregistered offerings October 10, 2019 up to December 9, 2021 from a Reg A offering originally filed in April 2019.
This accounted for why share increases declared monthly at otcmarkets.com during that period appeared to be insignificant compared to the total volume traded in each period.
The matter is now closed with $SFLM agreeing to pay a $25K civil penalty in quarterly installments and being ineligible to sell securities pursuant to Reg A and Reg D for a period of 5 years - waiver request submitted March 2023 pending.
SEC notices linked here:

Not a financial advisor - just stating what I'm basing my trading decisions on.
I will be holding some $SFLM in my portfolio throughout 2023 and into 2024 for long-term growth, trading some on surges from the bottom up too and reloading on any dips.

Note 3: An insignificant 112M was added to the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares November 27 > December 14. For context, 216M shares were traded during this period - 193% of the increase.
Note 4: An insignificant 183M was added to the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares December 15 > January 2. For context, 310M shares were traded during this period - 169% of the increase. Also, 145M were traded on December 22 alone - 79% of the increase.

With a SIC change to "patent owners and lessors", upgrade to OTC Pink Current and the company now clear to proceed with its business plans after the change of control process was completed on October 26, 2023, we should see significant additional buying over the weeks and months ahead throughout 2024.
Multiple surges are anticipated as announcements on the new business plan start to flow - which may also include a name change and a ticker change.
Expect a dramatic move up anytime we get sufficiently large buys set across several successive asks - as happened on November 15 and November 18, 2022 and October 19, 2023.
Only long-term holders (over 12 months) who believe the company will go back to .01 > .02 range have any shares with a cost basis over .0029 now. Others may have sold needlessly for a loss late-2022 - reducing still further the shares likely to be offered on the ask.
As with all my long-term top picks, knowing who got what where - relative to you by process of elimination - is important when deciding the ratio of shares to keep long-term vs locking in partial profits at peaks in the .01 > .02+ range - as is patience - this is a long-term play throughout 2024 and future years.
Performance and Outlook
$SFLM will remain the joint #1 Top Profit Pick on my Watch List throughout 2024 for self-evident reasons in this Overview.
Performance in each year 2020 > 2023 has shown that it pays to be ready at all times for surges with tradeable lots from multiple price points - not just trying to get the cheapest of the year and stretch them.
Continued large profit trading opportunities are anticipated ahead throughout 2024 and future years for those who maintain a large inventory of shares at a variety of price points . Having plenty of shares - you don't need the cheapest - avoids the need to chase every time it runs.
With some OTC tickers now adding 10 Billion - even 50 Billion - shares per update, $SFLM remains one of the thinnest sub .02 tickers in the OTC with an immediately tradeable Unrestricted Outstanding shares count of only 2.71 Billion.
Cancel any left over ask sell orders at close to get the maximum gap up at each open.
Expect .02+ at some point ahead in 2024 or later years and watch out for the following catalysts:
- Momentum move up after long-term watchers managed to buy at bottom prices from impatient tax loss sellers during December and bought out the .0004 ask on January 18.and January 19 on volumes of 77.5M and 175.2M and bought out the walked down ask at .0002 on March 26 on 49M volume.
- Updates on the "impressive deal flow of prospects that could be acquired or technology that could be licensed by SFLM” [source: PR November 15, 2022]
- Updates on the lithium mining initiative for batteries.
- Updates on acquisitions, patents and licensing.
- Possible name change.
- Possible ticker change.
OTC Market Traders Interested / Following
As at March 31, 113 x OTC market traders - up 17 recently since the Annual Report was filed early + .0002s got bought out in minutes - have got $SFLM on their Watch List, commented on it or liked posts about it - since November 27.
The Top 5 traders on $SFLM have 22.6K, 13.6K, 9.5K, 9.2K and 8.8K followers.
Speculation - Deep Power, Inc
There is plenty of anecdotal evidence - and there has been a lot of speculative discussion by OTC market top traders of $SFLM recently - that Deep Power, Inc may either be a likely candidate for a reverse merger with $SFLM to go public or - more likely now - be one of the first acquisition / patent licensing deals if $SFLM is to be a portfolio holding company.
In addition, the 2023 Q2 Report highlighted that the Deep Power, Inc CEO - AKA Real Transition Capital, LLC - had entered into a long-term relationship with $SFLM as follows:
"Note 8 – Convertible Note
In June 2023, the Company obtained a loan from Real Transition Capital, LLC which netted our company $2,500 in proceeds. In consideration of such loan, we issued a $10,000 face amount convertible promissory note (the “RTC Note”), with OID of $7,500, with principal and interest payable in June 2024. The Company has the right to repay the RTC Note at any time, without penalty. The RTC Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $.0001 per share."
SEC Action Against Actions Of Previous CEO - Matter Now Closed
The SEC had been investigating the old company under the previous CEO for selling unregistered offerings October 10, 2019 up to December 9, 2021 from a Reg A offering originally filed in April 2019.
This accounted for why share increases declared monthly at otcmarkets.com during that period appeared to be insignificant compared to the total volume traded in each period.
The matter is now closed with $SFLM agreeing to pay a $25K civil penalty in quarterly installments and being ineligible to sell securities pursuant to Reg A and Reg D for a period of 5 years - waiver request submitted March 2023 pending.

Not a financial advisor - just stating what I'm basing my trading decisions on.
I will be holding some $SFLM in my portfolio throughout 2023 and into 2024 for long-term growth, trading some on surges from the bottom up too and reloading on any dips.
