Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks DarkPulse, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Apr 14, 2026: 54 risks under these headings, as written.4
- Risks Related to Our Business
- Our former wholly owned subsidiary, Optilan (UK) Limited, is in liquidation. As an unsecured creditor, we are at risk of losing significant repayment obligations due from Optilan (UK) Limited.
- We may be adversely affected by natural disasters, pandemics, and other catastrophic events, and by man-made problems such as war or terrorism, that could disrupt our business operations, and our business continuity and disaster recovery plans may not adequately protect us from a serious disaster.
- If we default on the Secured Debenture, the secured holder could take possession of our assets, including our patents and other intellectual property.
- Our future growth depends significantly on our marketing efforts, and if our marketing efforts are not successful, our business and results of operations will be harmed.
- Our stockholders have limited voting power compared to the holder of our Series A Preferred Stock.
- Our management controls all corporate activities and can approve all transactions, including mergers, without the approval of other stockholders.
- The ability of our management to control our business may limit or eliminate minority stockholders’ ability to influence corporate affairs.
- We have made and expect to continue to make acquisitions that could disrupt our operations and harm our operating results.
- Acquisitions, joint ventures or other strategic transactions create certain risks and may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
- Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in technology development, we face a risk of business failure.
- Successful technical development of our products does not guarantee successful commercialization.
The other 43 risks
- If we do not effectively manage our growth and the associated demands on our operational, risk management, sales and marketing, technology, compliance and finance and accounting resources, our business may be adversely impacted.
- We face intense and increasing competition and, if we do not compete effectively, our competitive positioning and our operating results will be harmed.
- Cyberattacks and security breaches of our systems, or those impacting our customers or third parties, could adversely impact our brand and reputation and our business, operating results and financial condition.
- We have a limited operating history in an evolving and highly volatile industry, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.
- Adverse economic conditions may adversely affect our business.
- The nature of our business involves significant risks and uncertainties that may not be covered by insurance or indemnity.
- Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting may, until remedied, cause errors in our financial statements or cause our filings with the SEC to not be timely.
- Being a public company is expensive and administratively burdensome.
- If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or to prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our common stock.
- Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
- Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws will contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.
- Risks Related to Our Financial Condition
- If we do not obtain additional financing or sufficient revenues, our business will fail.
- We might require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available or may require stockholder approval to obtain.
- Our only existing commitment for financing is pursuant to Equity Financing Agreement with GHS Investments LLC but our ability to make puts is subject to certain conditions which may limit our ability to make puts or the amount of each put. In the event we are unable to make puts or obtain other commitments for financing, our business will fail.
- We need to continue as a going concern if our business is to succeed.
- There is no assurance that we will achieve or maintain profitability or that our revenue and business models will be successful.
- We may be unable to submit a Purchase Order to our contract manufacturer on the anticipated timeline, which could materially delay the commercialization of our patented BOTDA technology.
- We may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
- We may experience fluctuations in our quarterly operating results.
- Changes in U.S. and foreign tax laws, as well as the application of such laws, could adversely impact our financial position and operating results.
- If our estimates or judgment relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect, our operating results could be adversely affected.
- Business metrics and other estimates are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected by real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics.
- We are subject to changes in financial reporting standards or policies, including as a result of choices made by us, which could materially adversely affect our reported results of operations and financial condition and may have a corresponding material adverse impact on capital ratios.
- Risks Related to Our Employees and Other Service Providers
- We are heavily reliant on Dennis O’Leary, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and the departure or loss of Dennis O’Leary could disrupt our business.
- If we are unable to recruit and retain key management, technical and sales personnel, our business would be negatively affected.
- In the event of employee or service provider misconduct or error, our business may be adversely impacted.
- Risks Related to Our Common Stock
- You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common or preferred stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common or preferred stock.
- Because the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares that are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that investors may have difficulty reselling their shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.
- We do not expect to declare or pay any dividends.
- Volatility of Stock Price.
- You could lose all of your investment.
- The ability of our Board of Directors to issue additional stock may prevent or make more difficult certain transactions, including a sale or merger of the Company.
- Our stock may be traded infrequently and in low volumes, so you may be unable to sell your shares at or near the quoted bid prices if you need to sell your shares.
- There currently is no active public market for our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active public market will ever develop. Failure to develop or maintain a trading market could negatively affect the value of our common stock and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares.
- Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in the securities is limited, which makes transactions in the stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the stock.
- Our stock price may be volatile.
- Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
- The issuance of shares pursuant to the Settlement Agreement with GS Capital Partners, LLC may have a significant dilutive effect.
- Risks Related to Government Regulation
- Legislative and regulatory actions taken now or in the future may increase our costs and impact our business, governance structure, financial condition or results of operations.
- The regulatory environment to which we are subject gives rise to various licensing requirements, legal and financial compliance costs and management time, and non-compliance could result in monetary and reputational damages, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.
- We are and may continue to be subject to litigation, including individual and class action lawsuits, as well as regulatory audits, disputes, inquiries, investigations and enforcement actions by regulators and governmental authorities.
- Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
- Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.
- In the future we may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.
