The SEC has opened proceedings against MCX Technologies Corporation after the company stopped submitting periodic reports following its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The filing gap followed a prolonged operating decline: MCX had exited its former consulting activities, had not established a replacement revenue-producing platform, reported no revenue for at least twelve months and lacked the resources to obtain an audit or quarterly review. The proceeding could result in suspension or revocation of its securities registration, although the SEC has not yet imposed either sanction.

NEWS: The SEC alleges that MCX Technologies repeatedly failed to meet its periodic reporting obligations and filed no annual or quarterly report after the Form 10-Q covering March 31, 2024. MCX is a California corporation based in Boise, Idaho whose common stock remains registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The agency also states that the stock is no longer publicly quoted or traded. The proceeding will determine whether the allegations are true and whether registration of the company's securities, including securities issued under a successor or new corporate name, should be suspended for up to twelve months or revoked.
MCX's last filing shows that the reporting failure emerged after the company had largely lost its operating foundation. MCX originated as a customer-experience consulting business and previously operated under the names Touchpoint Metrics and McorpCX. It sold its principal consulting subsidiary in 2020 for $352,000 in cash and a $756,000 promissory note, later attempted to generate business through The Collective Experience and then stopped accepting new engagements through that operation. Management said it intended to acquire or develop a new platform that could include Web3 technology, but the March 2024 filing showed no revenue, no contract-service expense and no evidence of an operating technology platform producing commercial sales. The company said it financed expenses with existing cash and the final payment received from the earlier subsidiary sale, leaving it without that recurring source of liquidity.
The reported financial position was exceptionally limited. MCX disclosed $43,525 in total assets against $96,411 in liabilities, negative shareholders' equity of $52,886 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $6.67 million. It recorded a quarterly loss of $10,113 and acknowledged material operating losses, no revenue for the preceding twelve months and substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements were described as unaudited and unreviewed because MCX had not engaged an accounting firm and said it lacked the resources to complete the 2023 audit or the March 2024 quarterly review. The SEC's current case concerns the later filing failures rather than a fraud finding, but the missing reports now prevent investors from determining whether MCX obtained financing, developed an operating business, corrected the audit deficiency or exhausted its remaining cash.
KEY POINTS:
- The case is SEC Administrative File No. 3-22726 and Exchange Act Release No. 34-106388.
- The SEC alleges that MCX filed no periodic reports after its Form 10-Q for March 31, 2024.
- MCX's last filing reported no revenue, $43,525 in assets and $96,411 in liabilities.
- The company's financial statements were unaudited and unreviewed because it said it lacked sufficient financial resources.
- MCX had exited its former revenue-producing consulting activities without reporting a replacement operating platform that generated sales.
- The SEC proceeding could lead to suspension or revocation, but no final registration sanction had been imposed in the initiating order.
