Effective January 1, 2021, our principal executive offices are located at 269 S. Beverly Drive, Suite #1450, Beverly Hills, CA 90212.

- Risks Related to Our Acquisition Strategy
- Risks Related to Technology and Intellectual Property
- Risks Related to Our PodcastOne Business
- Risks Related to Our E-commerce Merchandising Business
- Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock
- Risks Related to Our Cryptocurrency Assets Treasury Strategy
- We rely on our largest OEM customer for a substantial percentage of our revenue. The loss of our largest OEM customer or the significant reduction of business or growth of business from such customer could significantly adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations
- We rely on our relationship with our largest OEM customer for a substantial percentage of our potential subscribers who are now eligible to convert to become direct customers of LiveOne. Our inability to convert a significant number of these subscribers could cause a significant reduction of our business and could significantly adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- We have incurred significant operating and net losses since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.
- We may require additional capital, including to fund our current debt obligations and to fund potential acquisitions and capital expenditures, which may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all and which depends on many factors beyond our control.
The other 68 risks
- There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
- Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a delisting of our common stock and penny stock trading.
- Our business is partially dependent on our ability to secure music streaming rights from Content Providers and to stream their live music and music-related video content on our platform, and we may not be able to secure such content on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
- We may be unable to fund any significant up-front and/or guaranteed payment cash requirements associated with our live music streaming rights, which could result in the inability to secure and retain such streaming rights and may limit our operating flexibility, which may adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
- If we fail to increase the number of users consuming our music and music-related video content on our platform, and/or the number of paid users to Slacker, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
- Our ability to attract and retain users and/or the number of paid users to Slacker is highly sensitive to rapidly changing public tastes in music and technology.
- Our ability to increase the number of our listeners depends in part on our ability to establish and maintain relationships with automakers, automotive suppliers and consumer electronics manufacturers with products that integrate our service.
- We are a party to many content acquisition and other license agreements that are complex and impose numerous obligations upon us which may make it difficult to operate our business, and a breach of such agreements could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
- We may be unsuccessful in developing our original content.
- We face competition for users’ attention and time.
- We face intense competition from competitors, and we may not be able to increase our revenues, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Our new platform features, services and initiatives, changes to existing features, services and initiatives and our plan to continue to increase the number of live events that we produce could fail to attract users, content partners, advertisers and platform partners or generate revenue.
- Expansion of our content beyond live events and pre-recorded music, such as podcasts, subjects us to additional business, legal, financial and competitive risks.
- We face significant competition for advertiser and sponsorship spend.
- Emerging industry trends in digital advertising may pose challenges for our ability to forecast or optimize our advertising inventory, which may adversely impact our ad-supported revenue.
- Our services and software are highly technical and may contain undetected software bugs or vulnerabilities, which could manifest in ways that could seriously harm our reputation and our business.
- Interruptions, delays or discontinuations in service arising from our own systems or from third parties could impair the delivery of our services and harm our business.
- We rely upon the Google Cloud Platform (“GCP”) and Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) to operate certain aspects of our business and to store certain data, and any disruption of or interference with our use of the GCP and AWS could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
- If we fail to accurately predict, recommend, and stream and play music that our users enjoy, we may fail to retain existing users and attract new users in sufficient numbers to meet investor expectations for growth or to operate our business profitably.
- If we are unable to increase revenue from our services on mobile devices, such as smartphones, our results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
- Negative media coverage could adversely affect our business.
- Our business depends on a strong brand, and any failure to maintain, protect and enhance our brand would hurt our ability to retain or expand our base of ad-supported users, paid users and advertisers.
- We are subject to a number of risks related to credit card and debit card payments we accept.
- We are subject to a number of risks related to other payment solution providers.
- Our business emphasizes rapid innovation and prioritizes long-term user engagement over short-term financial condition or results of operations. That strategy may yield results that sometimes do not align with the market’s expectations. If that happens, our stock price may be negatively affected.
- Streaming depends on effectively working with third-party platforms, operating systems, online platforms, hardware, networks, regulations, and standards we do not control. Changes in our services or those operating systems, hardware, networks, regulations, or standards, and our limitations on our ability to access those platforms, operating systems, hardware or networks may seriously harm our business.
- If our security systems are breached, we may face civil liability, and public perception of our security measures could be diminished, either of which would negatively affect our ability to attract and retain paid users, ad-supported users, advertisers, Content Providers and other business partners.
- We are at risk of attempts at unauthorized access to our services, and failure to effectively prevent and remediate such attempts could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Unauthorized access to our services may cause us to misstate key performance indicators, which once discovered, corrected, and disclosed, could undermine investor confidence in the integrity of our key performance indicators and could cause our stock price to drop significantly.
- We are at risk of artificial manipulation of stream counts and failure to effectively manage and remediate such fraudulent streams could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. Fraudulent streams and potentially associated fraudulent user accounts or artists may cause us to overstate key performance indicators, which once discovered, corrected and disclosed, could undermine investor confidence in the integrity of our key performance indicators and could cause our stock price to drop significantly.
- Our user metrics and other estimates are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics may seriously harm and negatively affect our reputation and our business.
- We plan to expand into international markets in the future, which would subject us to risks associated with the legislative, judicial, accounting, regulatory, foreign exchange, political and economic risks and conditions specific to such markets, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Taxing authorities may successfully assert that we should have collected, or in the future should collect sales and use or similar taxes, and we could be subject to liability with respect to past or future tax, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Our success depends, in significant part, on discretionary consumer and corporate spending on entertainment and factors adversely affecting such spending could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- We may be subject to risks associated with artificial intelligence and machine learning technology
- Advancements in AI technology may adversely affect our business model and competitive position.
- Wildfires and other natural disasters in and around Los Angeles may disrupt our operations and adversely impact our business.
- Increased data protection regulation may result in increased complexities and risk in connection with the operation of our business and our products.

- For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting during such periods. If we are unable to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis or prevent fraud could be impaired, and the market price of our securities may be negatively affected.
- We may not have the ability to repay the amounts then due under our Debentures at maturity.
- If we do not comply with the provisions of the Debentures financing agreements and/or the SX Settlement, such parties may terminate their obligations to us, accelerate our debt and/or require us to repay all outstanding amounts owed thereunder.
- Our debt agreements contain restrictive and financial covenants that may limit our operating flexibility, and our substantial indebtedness may limit cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business.
- We will continue to incur significant increased costs as a result of operating as a public company.
- We heavily depend on relationships with our Content Providers and other Industry Stakeholders and adverse changes in these relationships, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- We depend upon third-party licenses for sound recordings and musical compositions and other content and an adverse change to, loss of, or claim that we do not hold any necessary licenses may materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
- We rely on key members of management, particularly our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Robert Ellin, and our Interim Chief Financial Officer, Interim Treasurer and Interim Secretary, Craig Christensen, and the loss of their services or investor confidence in them could adversely affect our success, development and financial condition.
- Rising inflation may adversely affect us by increasing costs of labor, equipment and other costs beyond what we can recover through price increases.
- Unfavorable outcomes in legal proceedings may adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
- We may incur substantially more debt or take other actions that would intensify the risks discussed above.
- We may not have sufficient cash flow from our business operations to make payments on our indebtedness.
- We may not have the ability to pay the cash dividends or other amounts then due to the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock.
- Our quarterly operating results may be volatile and are difficult to predict in the future, and our stock price may decline if we fail to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors.
- We may not be able to attract qualified personnel.
- We engage certain consultants to work for us. If the consultants that we utilize are characterized as employees and if we are deemed to be delinquent in our payroll taxes or incur other employment-related liabilities with respect to those consultants, we and our management team could incur significant liabilities.
- Difficulties in obtaining accurate and comprehensive information necessary to identify the compositions embodied in sound recordings on Slacker’s services and the ownership thereof may impact Slacker’s ability to perform its obligations under its licenses, affect the size of its catalog, impact its ability to control content acquisition costs, and lead to potential copyright infringement claims.
- We are subject to cybersecurity risks to our systems, infrastructure, and technology, and data processed by us or third-party vendors.
- Costs associated with, and our ability to obtain adequate insurance, could adversely affect our financial condition and profitability.
- Our operating results may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic and market conditions and the uncertain geopolitical environment.
- We can give no assurances as to when we will consummate any future acquisitions or whether we will consummate any of them at all.
- A number of other companies are seeking to make acquisitions in our industry, which may make our acquisition strategy more difficult or expensive to pursue.
- We may enter into acquisitions and take actions in connection with such transactions that could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
- We rely heavily on technology to stream content and manage other aspects of our operations and on our CMS. The failure of any of this technology to operate effectively could adversely affect our business.
- We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights.
- We may be accused of infringing upon intellectual property rights of third parties.
- Our live music streaming network uses open source software, and we license some of our software through open source projects, which may pose particular risks to our proprietary software, products, and services in a manner that could have a negative effect on our business.
- Changes in how network operators handle and charge for access to data that travel across their networks could adversely impact our business.
- The success of our business and operations depends, in part, on the integrity of our systems and infrastructures, as well as affiliate and third-party computer systems, Wi-Fi and other communication systems. System interruption and the lack of integration and redundancy in these systems and infrastructures may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Privacy concerns could limit our ability to leverage our user data and compliance with privacy regulations could result in significant expense.
Legal proceedings
We are from time to time, party to various legal proceedings arising out of our business. Certain legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. Financial Statement and Supplementary Data, and are incorporated herein by reference. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
