Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks HIGH WIRE NETWORKS, INC. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 31, 2025: 43 risks under these headings, as written.3
- Risks Related to Our Financial Results and Financing Plans
- We have a history of losses and may continue to incur losses in the future.
- If we are unable to grow our revenue, we may never achieve or sustain profitability.
- Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to meet our payment obligations.
- Risks Relating to Our Business
- Our future success is substantially dependent on third-party relationships.
- Claims by others that we infringed their proprietary technology or other intellectual property rights could harm our business.
- Our trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property could be unenforceable or ineffective.
- The cost of enforcing our trademarks and copyrights could prevent us from enforcing them.
- We are making substantial investments in new product offerings and technologies and expect to increase such investments in the future. These efforts are inherently risky, and we may never realize any expected benefits from them.
- Our new products could fail to achieve the sales projections we expected.
- The development and commercialization of our products and services are highly competitive.
The other 33 risks
- We must correctly predict, identify, and interpret changes in consumer preferences and demand, offer new products to meet those changes, and respond to competitive innovation.
- We depend on relationships with our MSPs, and any adverse changes in their financial strength, tightening of the technical standards required by their end-customers would adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
- Our financial performance is dependent on our ability to successfully engage with MSP’s and other technology partners, and these MSP’s and partners are not precluded from offering products and services outside of our offerings.
- MSP’s and technology partners on our marketplaces may not provide competitive levels of service to end customers, which could materially and adversely affect our operating results.
- Expenses or liabilities resulting from litigation could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
- Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover all significant risk exposures.
- Data breaches or incidents involving our technology or products could damage its business, reputation and brand and substantially harm its business and results of operations.
- Security incidents or real or perceived errors, failures or bugs in our systems and platform could impair our operations, compromise our confidential information or our users’ personal information, damage our reputation and brand, and harm our business and operating results.
- Computer malware, viruses, ransomware, hacking, phishing attacks and similar disruptions could result in security and privacy breaches and interruptions and delays in services and operations, which could harm our business.
- Changes in government regulation could adversely impact our business.
- Failure to obtain proper business licenses or other documentation or to otherwise comply with local laws and requirements regarding marketing or matching commercial property and business borrowers with financial services providers may result in civil or criminal penalties and restrictions on our ability to conduct business in that jurisdiction.
- Global health concerns and measures taken in response thereto impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
- We rely on confidentiality agreements with our suppliers, employees, consultants and other parties; the breach of such agreements could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
- The imposition of new governmental export or import controls or of international sanctions could require us to comply with additional compliance obligations or limit our ability to compete in foreign markets.
- If our solutions do not interoperate with our customers’ IT infrastructure, our solutions may become less competitive and our results of operations may be harmed.
- New and evolving information security, cybersecurity and data privacy laws and regulations may result in increased compliance costs, impediments to the development or performance of our offerings, and monetary or other penalties.
- The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the markets in which we compete achieve the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, or at all.
- Risks Related to Our Industry
- Our industry is highly competitive, with a variety of larger companies with greater resources competing with us, and our failure to compete effectively could reduce the number of new contracts awarded to us or adversely affect our market share and harm our financial performance.
- Many of the industries we serve are subject to consolidation and rapid technological and regulatory change, and our inability or failure to adjust to our customers’ changing needs could reduce demand for our services.
- Economic downturns could cause capital expenditures in the industries we serve to decrease, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
- Other Risks Relating to Our Company and Results of Operations
- Our reported financial results may be negatively impacted by changes in U.S. GAAP and financial reporting requirements.
- Our operating results may fluctuate due to factors that are difficult to forecast and not within our control.
- Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions that we use to prepare our financial statements.
- We exercise judgment in determining our provision for taxes in the United States and Puerto Rico that are subject to tax authority audit review that could result in additional tax liability and potential penalties that would negatively affect our net income.
- Risks Related to our Common Stock
- An active trading market for our common stock may not develop.
- Our stock price may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors and litigation.
- The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
- If we do not meet the listing standards of a national securities exchange our investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities will be limited and we will be subject us to additional trading restrictions.
- We may issue additional debt and equity securities, which are senior to our common stock as to distributions and in liquidation, which could materially adversely affect the market price of our securities.
- Our shares of common stock are subject to penny stock regulations. Because our common stock is a penny stock, holders of our common stock may find it difficult or may be unable to sell their shares.
- We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock.
- If equity research analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our common stock, the market price of our common stock will likely decline.
Legal proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operating results.
