Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Research Solutions, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Sep 11, 2026: 30 risks under these headings, as written.5

  • Risks Related to Our Business and Our Industry
  • We have historically incurred significant losses and may be unable to maintain profitability. If we continue to incur significant losses, we may have to curtail our operations, which may prevent us from successfully operating and expanding our business.
  • The loss of our largest customers would significantly reduce our revenue and adversely affect our results of operations.
  • The loss of our largest suppliers of content would significantly reduce our revenue and adversely affect our results of operations.
  • We are exposed to credit risk on our accounts receivable and prepayments to suppliers of content. This risk is heightened during periods when economic conditions worsen.
  • Our services, technology and industry relationships are key assets and competitive advantages of our Company and our business may be affected by how we are perceived in the marketplace.
  • Our business performance is dependent upon the effectiveness of our technology investments, the failure of which could materially impact our business and financial results.
  • We may be subject to intellectual property rights claims by third parties, which are extremely costly to defend, could require us to pay significant damages and could limit our ability to use certain technologies.
  • Artificial intelligence-based platforms present new risks and challenges to our business.
  • Our industry is subject to intense competition and rapid technological change, including as a result of artificial intelligence, which may result in products or new solutions that are superior to our products or solutions under development. If we are unable to anticipate or keep pace with changes in the marketplace and the direction of technological innovation and customer demands, our products or solutions may become less useful or obsolete and our operating results will suffer.
  • Increased accessibility of free or relatively inexpensive information sources may reduce demand for our products and services.
  • We depend on the services of key personnel, and may not be able to operate and grow our business effectively if we lose their services or are unable to attract qualified personnel in the future.
The other 19 risks
  • We rely on our proprietary software systems, and our websites and online networks, and a disruption, failure or security compromise of these systems would disrupt our business, damage our reputation and adversely affect our revenue and profitability.
  • Breaches of our data security systems or unintended disclosure of our customer data could result in large expenditures to repair or replace such systems, to remedy any security breaches and to protect us from similar events in the future.
  • Disruptions and other damages to our information technology and breaches in data security or cybersecurity attacks could have a negative financial impact and damage our reputation.
  • We are exposed to risks associated with PCI compliance.
  • Our failure to comply with the covenants contained in our loan agreement could result in an event of default that could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to operate our business as planned.
  • Government regulations related to the Internet could increase our cost of doing business, affect our ability to grow or may otherwise negatively affect our business.
  • We may be adversely affected by changes in legislation and regulation.
  • Our growth strategy may require significant additional resources, and such additional resources might not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all, which may in turn hamper our growth and adversely affect our business.
  • Acquisitions, joint ventures or similar strategic relationships may disrupt or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
  • We are subject to risks related to our foreign operations which could adversely affect our operations and financial performance.

  • The exercise of outstanding options to purchase our common stock could substantially dilute your investment.
  • The market price of our common stock and the value of your investment could substantially decline if our options are exercised and our common stock is issued and resold into the market, or if a perception exists that a substantial number of shares will be issued upon exercise of our options and then resold into the market.
  • Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could result in a restatement of our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our financial statements and our Company and have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
  • Our board of directors has broad discretion to issue additional securities.
  • Our articles of incorporation, bylaws and Nevada law have anti-takeover provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control, which may cause our stock price to decline.

Legal proceedings

We are involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. Although our management cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of our legal proceedings, including any amounts we may be required to pay, will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
