The O/S total reflects any share split.
They can alter or increase the A/S regardless of that based upon regulatory & company approval (via board &/or shareholders).
But keep in mind that most companies sub .001 have huge A/S regardless of O/S, & with VCPS specifically in months back even before the last run to .0027 (from .0007/.0008) in late July it already had A/S of 4.9 billion, making the point that these can run up on high A/S and that A/S was really high long before latest increase to 9.9 billion a few weeks ago.
Therefore A/S means little compared to O/S and daily rate of dilution pressure when it comes to short term trading.
I've traded many subpenny stocks (as you know) in past that had huge A/S in billions which turned out to be profitable trades.
VCPS is showing so far to be contradictory to that compared to my past trades similarly (being almost 2 months without a major run up), but it could prove still a good trade while only taking a few more weeks in comparison to past trades of mine. Which refers back to recent past language I've said, that VCPS is an anomaly and not typical of what one should expect since August.
Furthermore, my point is that O/S and rate of dilution is what mainly matters when trading these subpenny stocks, especially under .002, etc. It's just a given that they have constantly increasing A/S that usually is in the billions down at these sub .002 levels.
